1. Hood (Bonnet)
Material Composition & Structural Design
The H6 hood utilizes a lightweight aluminum alloy (grade 6016-T6) combined with a high-strength steel reinforcement frame. This hybrid construction achieves a 22% weight reduction compared to traditional steel hoods while maintaining a tensile strength of 290 MPa. The inner structure features a honeycomb reinforcement pattern with 14 strategically placed crumple zones optimized for pedestrian impact protection (meeting Euro NCAP Pedestrian Protection Protocol 2023).
Aerodynamic Integration
Wind tunnel testing reveals the hood's 6.8-degree downward slope reduces front lift coefficient (Cₗ) by 0.15 at 100 km/h. Integrated NACA ducts channel airflow through a dual-path system:
-
Primary path: 70% airflow directed to radiator (1.2 m³/min at highway speeds)
-
Secondary path: 30% airflow through hood vents for boundary layer control
Technical Specifications
-
Thickness: Outer panel 0.8 mm / Inner panel 1.2 mm
-
Hinge mechanism: Gas-charged struts with 10,000-cycle durability rating
-
Safety systems: Pyrotechnic pedestrian pop-up hinges (activates within 30 ms of impact detection)
-
Thermal management: Ceramic-coated undershield reduces engine bay temps by 12°C
Manufacturing Process
Produced via 5-stage hot-stamping (950°C quenching), achieving dimensional tolerances of ±0.3 mm. Laser welding creates 48-meter continuous seams with 98% joint efficiency.
