Solving the challenges posed by using mixed-material content in vehicle lightweighting

The world is shifting away from fossil fuels and carbon emissions and towards smart grids and electric vehicles. These changes create a need for automotive manufacturers to look for suppliers with innovative lightweighting solutions that can handle joining mixed-material car body designs.

Now more than ever, vehicle manufacturers are using lightweight materials in their vehicle bodies. Some of these materials include aluminum, high-strength, ultra-high-strength steel, composites, and carbon fiber.

Joining various car body components can be complicated when processes such as welding are not a perfect solution and are not capable of ensuring that safety-critical joints have the integrity to withstand crash tests.

Produit d'interface thermique : composé puissant pour de meilleures performances

9 décembre, 2019

La gestion de la température joue un rôle clé pour les batteries haute tension des véhicules électriques. Les éléments de batterie ne peuvent fournir des performances maximales que sous une certaine plage de températures et ne doivent pas surchauffer. Afin de transférer efficacement la chaleur produite par le fonctionnement des éléments autour d'eux, un composé thermique est appliqué sur le support de batterie ; il s'agit d'une étape vitale du processus d'assemblage.
