Specialty Alloys and Composites for Advanced Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Applications
Sponsored by: Materion
Description: As automotive technology progresses, electric and hybrid vehicles demand more from their structures and systems than ever before. To meet current requirements, engineers are seeking advanced materials that will enable improved electrical, mechanical and thermal performance of EVs, PHEVs, hybrids and standard vehicles– as well as being cost effective. The answer to meeting these design challenges may lie in specialty alloys and composites that combine the benefits of multiple materials.
In this webinar, attendees will learn about:
- Multilayer clad materials that enable high-power, high-density battery packs while delivering improved solderability, weldability and corrosion resistance.
- Materials that will stand up to the challenging environment found in hydrogen fuel cells and electrolysis.
- High-strength alloys for improved performance, excellent thermal conductivity and exceptional durability in drivetrain and powertrain components.
- Weight-reducing materials that provide superior machinability, high stiffness and low coefficient of thermal expansion.
