If electric 🚗 constitute the upcoming direction for the automobile sector, it follows that advanced corrosion prevention methods will be essential to maintain the dependability and cost-effectiveness of the batteries powering these vehicles. Given the consistently corrosive surroundings within which EV batteries function, manufacturers are actively seeking anode materials capable of enduring these difficulties while also being environmentally sustainable and economically viable. Although Ti continues to be a traditional choice for anode material, it lacks the desired conductivity. What to do then? 🤔 Electroplate Pt over Ti substrate. 💡 This will not only enhance conductivity but also guarantee the corrosion resistance. Any challenges along the way? 🤔 No, if an upfront analysis of the Pt plating process performance will be done: https://lnkd.in/deWn6Mss If otherwise, we could potentially face the issues discussed in this highly engaging article featured in Finishing & Coating magazine. Definitely worth a read! #electroplating #surfacefinishing #platinum #titanium #batteries #CAE #smartmanufacturing https://lnkd.in/dRDbMsGk

How much time and money are wasted by using interim parts while waiting for volumes to catch up for your production intent part? Tens of thousands of dollars are lost by having to revalidate joints every time a new fastener is substituted. What if you could start your design by choosing from a list of parts that are already PPAP'd approved? You could essentially keep that fastener from alpha to production. Protect your deadlines and budget from joint revalidation by utilizing our wide variety of production ready, Level 3 PPAP'D parts. By utilizing and designing around Bossard's expansive library of automotive fasteners you can save significant amounts of money through the life of your vehicle's program and propel your team/company through the design phases. Start your selection of fasteners by reaching out to us today and requesting access to our Automotive library!

Laser welding is one of the most critical steps in the EV battery assembly process. Poor welding contacts yield poor results; one welding defect can impact a vehicle’s range by almost 2%. Over 6,500 cells may be strung together with 13,000+ individual welding joints. A repeatable and efficient welding process is imperative to the success of a battery manufacturing line.

The EV two wheeler industry has a long long way to catch up on reliability. With industry average of 20 percent battery failure during warranty it reminds me of the dark old ages when the IC engine two wheelers had a Rs 400 warranty cost which now is in single digits.

The global Automotive Electrical Busbar market was valued at US$ 287 million in 2023 and is anticipated to reach US$ 376 million by 2030 witnessing a CAGR of 3.6% during the forecast period 20242030. #GlobalAutomotiveElectricalBusbarMarket #ElectricalBusbars #AutomotiveIndustry #ElectricVehicles #HybridCars #CopperBusbar #AluminumBusbar #FlexibleBusbar #CommercialVehicles #PassengerVehicles

Parts makers - ICE Vs EV 😎 The revenues of ICE parts makers likely to fall by 44% through 2027. This is against an expected increase of 245% of EV parts makers in the same period. While an ICE requires over 2000 parts - EV has about 20 parts. Source: Deloitte l Ernst & Young

Speed to market is key for new EV components. Predictive quality helps newly designed parts ramp up to stable production. #predictivequality #electricvehicles #manufacturingtech #evmanufacturing

The automotive industry faces a crisis with the recent surge in early-model EV battery failures. Shortage of qualified EV mechanics leads to prolonged repair times and high replacement costs, intensifying financial burdens for EV owners. Additionally, the environmental impact looms large, as dead EVs risk polluting junkyards and depleting resources without proper disposal or recycling methods. Urgent investment in battery recycling infrastructure and EV mechanic training is crucial to mitigate these challenges and prevent further economic and environmental damage. https://lnkd.in/gJbVEj8W
