SAIC Group Applies for Composite Material Simulation Patent to Aid in Automotive Lightweighting Technology On December 16, 2023, as reported by Financial World, the State Intellectual Property Office announced that SAIC Motor Corporation Limited has applied for a patent titled "A Method and Apparatus for Composite Material Simulation." The method first involves acquiring material properties of the target composite material in a primary fiberglass orientation, then constructing a model to be processed. This model is divided into a first component with the fiberglass orientation as the primary one, to which material properties are assigned, resulting in a highly accurate simulation model of fiberglass-reinforced composite materials. This application addresses inaccuracies in current modeling methods for fiberglass composite materials, reflecting the influence of fiber orientation and the differences in anisotropy. Applicable to the simulation modeling of various anisotropic materials, this method not only improves simulation accuracy but also facilitates automotive lightweighting technology. Furthermore, it simplifies the modeling process for anisotropic materials, reducing the workload needed to analyze anisotropic materials using simulation software, pre-processing modeling, and analysis tools, thereby enhancing simulation efficiency. #Lightweight #LightweightAsia2024 #LightweightingTechnology #anisotropicmaterials To learn more about the market trends, stay tuned to Lightweight Asia 2024 Date: 03-05 July 2024 Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center  Learn more：https://lnkd.in/gid2RGSb

Bolle High-Energy Magnesium Alloy Semi-Solid Injection Molding Machine: Competing in the Lightweight Race The rapid development in the field of basic materials has brought significant changes to the social, economic, and cultural systems of countries around the world. As an important category within the advanced basic materials industry, the Chinese magnesium alloy materials industry has independently developed more than a dozen types of magnesium alloys since responding to the "13th Five-Year Plan" strategic measures. These alloys have been successfully applied in aerospace, defense, 3C electronics, automotive, and other fields, significantly reducing product costs and enhancing market competitiveness, presenting both opportunities and challenges for industrial development. Compared to aluminum components, the net balance of greenhouse gas emissions for all magnesium production scenarios currently representing the magnesium market is positive. This means that, regardless of the production process, using magnesium for automotive components in place of aluminum results in a greater reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. #Lightweight #LightweightAsia2024 #aluminumcomponents #magnesiummarket To learn more about the market trends, stay tuned to Lightweight Asia 2024 Date: 03-05 July 2024 Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center  Learn more：https://lnkd.in/gid2RGSb

Lightweight Composites - Integrated Thermoplastic Process with Minimal The Engel organomelt process shapes and functionalizes thermoplastic fiber composite semi-finished products, such as organic sheet and UD tapes, in a single integrated process step. Immediately after molding, thermoplastic plastics from the organic sheet matrix material group are injected into the same mold for reinforcement or assembly components. This process not only achieves highly efficient, fully automated production but also contributes to the circular economy. The consistent thermoplastic single-material approach simplifies the subsequent recycling of components. The Engel victory 660/160 injection molding machine, equipped with the Engel easix articulated robot, automates the production of inspection flaps for aircraft fuselages. The production unit also includes an infrared oven, developed and manufactured by Engel. The organic sheets are heated in the infrared oven, placed in the mold by a robot arm, molded in the mold, and then immediately overmolded. Reinforcing ribs and assembly clips are also formed. #Lightweight #LightweightAsia2024 #LightweightComposites #thermoplasticplastics To learn more about the market trends, stay tuned to Lightweight Asia 2024 Date: 03-05 July 2024 Venue: Shanghai New International Expo Center  Learn more：https://lnkd.in/gid2RGSb
