Jérôme Favero, Head of Automotive Steel Solutions for ArcelorMittal Global R&D: Why e-mobility needs Smart Steels. As automakers are challenged to continuously improve safety and fuel economy, they search for new materials which meet higher standards. For more than 20 years advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) have been helping engineers meet…
With the rising demand for alternative powertrain technologies, the needs and requirements for high-performance materials for structural battery parts are also increasing. Modified polyphenylene ether (m-PPE) and foamed m-PPE offer promising applications which contribute to the overall efficiency, safety and designability of batteries. Sales of electric vehicles are being increasingly…
Resistance and laser solutions to solve space and accessibility issues As the use of electric motors in automobile power trains has increased, stator welding has become an established manufacturing process. One interesting example is a system Amada Miyachi Europe supplied for Formula One racing cars that use electrical motors…
The growth in the electric vehicle (EV) market is undoubtedly gaining pace, with some commentators predicting that there will be 559 million EVs on the road by 2040 and 55% of all new car sales and 33% of the global fleet will be electric*. While we are still away from…
