Huawei released the largest integrated casting body, Musk I did it right!
Musk is a leader in revolutionary innovation in integrated casting technology.
As we all know, integrated die casting technology is not widely recognized in the traditional automotive industry. In their opinion, once there is a problem with the car, it must be completely replaced. However, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, is confident in the prospects of one-piece die-casting technology and sees it as a future development trend. When Musk publicly expressed optimism about the prospect of one-piece die-casting technology, many traditional domestic car companies expressed disgust and rejection of it. However, it is well known that"The law of true fragrance"There are never exceptions. With Tesla's popularity in the domestic market, one-piece die-casting technology has begun to be widely used by emerging forces in the domestic automotive industry. Its advantages in cost saving and efficiency improvement are irresistible to traditional car companies. Up to now, the popularity of one-piece die-casting technology in the market is getting higher and higher, and many automobile companies, including Nezha Automobile, Chery Automobile, Volvo, Mercedes-Benz, NIO, Xiaopeng Motors, etc., have begun to adopt one-piece die-casting technology. For other automotive companies, choosing one-piece die casting technology is no longer a problem, but a trend they must follow.
Recently, the release of Huawei's Curiosity M9 has caused quite a stir. This model is independently developed by Huawei"Xuanwu fuselage", which is currently the world's largest one-piece die-cast body. With nearly 9,000 tons of die casting machines, more than 220 parts were originally die cast into 10 monolithic parts. This method not only improves production efficiency, but also increases the strength of the body. What's more, in the event of an accident, the problem can be quickly detected with basic computer data. Huawei's decision to publicly support Tesla's technology is undoubtedly a manifestation of revolutionary innovation. Previously, some people criticized Tesla's one-piece casting technology, but Musk responded on social **:"The facts will prove me right. "In fact, Tesla's maintenance method of replacing the entire body in the event of a collision has been widely criticized by the domestic public. These people believe that the one-piece casting technology cannot be compared with the traditional assembly technology, which Musk invented"One-piece casting technology"It doesn't make any sense. But now, both traditional car companies and new electric vehicles represented by Huawei have invested a lot of energy in the research and development of integrated die-casting technology. The facts also confirm Musk's assumption. Even"One-piece die casting technology increases maintenance costs"The worries are also gradually decreasing, and in fact, one-piece die casting technology can indeed reduce maintenance costs. Because even if the entire body needs to be replaced, only one die casting needs to be replaced, which not only saves a lot of labor and material costs, but also shortens the repair time. As Musk said, when a new technology comes out, it will eventually be accepted, even if many people don't like it.
Advantages and application scenarios of integrated casting technology.
Integrated die casting technology is increasingly being used by automotive companies because of its unique advantages and suitability for a wide range of applications.
1.Increase efficiency and reduce costs.
Integrated die casting technology transforms parts that would otherwise be scattered through a single die casting into multiple integrated parts, reducing not only the number of parts, but also the man-hours and costs of the assembly process. Compared with the traditional assembly process, the integrated die casting technology greatly improves the production efficiency and reduces the manufacturing cost.
2. Enhance resistance and greatly improve safety.
Integral die casting casts multiple parts as a single unit, eliminating common joints and seams. As a result, the monolithic die-cast body has a higher overall strength and is better able to withstand collisions and external shocks. This design improves the safety of the vehicle and provides more reliable protection for passengers.
3. Easy to maintain, reduce collision performance problems.
Traditional automobile maintenance involves the replacement of multiple parts, which is not only complex to operate, but also has a long maintenance cycle. The application of integrated die casting technology greatly simplifies the car repair process. In the event of a collision or damage, all integrated die castings can be replaced. This not only saves labor and material costs, but also saves maintenance time and improves maintenance efficiency.
4. Environmentally friendly production and reduce material waste.
Integrated die casting technology significantly reduces material waste in the production process. Compared to conventional body building, integrated die casting technology requires less raw material and no scrap is generated during the production process. This environmentally friendly production method is in line with the pursuit of sustainable development in today's society.
The wide application of integrated casting technology in the market.
The widespread application of integrated die casting technology in the market has become an irreversible trend. In addition to Tesla and Huawei, many well-known automotive companies have also begun to introduce integrated die-casting technology in order to gain an advantage in the market competition.

Reflections on Integrated Casting Technology.
The wide application and general recognition of integrated die-casting technology is an inevitable trend in the development of the world. However, with the gradual promotion of the application of integrated die casting technology, there are also some problems and challenges that need to be thought about and solved.
First of all, can integrated die casting technology be applied to all types of vehicles?At present, integrated die casting technology is widely used in the field of small and medium-sized vehicles, but it has not yet been popularized in the field of large and heavy-duty vehicles. Does this mean that integrated die casting technology has limitations for large vehicles?Is it possible to apply integrated die casting technology to a wider range of fields through further technological development and innovation?
Secondly, will the application of integrated die casting technology have an impact on the automotive repair industry?While integrated die casting technology can reduce repair costs, it can also reduce revenue** for the repair industry. How to balance the promotion of new technologies with the development of the maintenance industry, and how to cultivate talents who have the ability to maintain integrated die casting technology are all issues that need to be considered.
In addition, the promotion of integrated die casting technology must also consider its environmental impact. Although integrated die casting technology can reduce material waste and emissions in the production process, whether it can achieve ecological recycling when disposing of waste die casting parts still needs to be studied and improved.
Overall, the widespread use of integrated die casting technology has led to more efficient, safer, and greener solutions for the automotive industry. However, the problems that come with it also need to be actively thought about and solved. Only by taking into account technology, industry and environment can we achieve the sustainable development of integrated die-casting technology and truly promote the development of integrated die-casting technology towards a more mature and sustainable future.
