With a mix of on-site, hybrid, and online formats, AZL events offer valuable opportunities to connect with experts, exchange knowledge, and explore the latest developments in composite technology. Workgroup Meetings: Flexible…
The use of thermoplastic resins for high-pressure storage vessels is a topic of high interest across the industry. This is highlighted by key players such as Toyota, whose perspective on this technology is shared by Dr. Martin Kerschbaum, Manager of the ME22 R&D Material Engineering Division at Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA: “The usage of thermoplastic…
Thermal management and fire safety have become critical topics in the design of battery systems for electric vehicles and beyond. Building on its long-standing work in this area, AZL has launched a new Joint Partner Project, “Thermal Runaway Testing for Battery Casings”, to advance the benchmarking of materials for battery housings under realistic thermal runaway…
Despite the predicted weight and cost advantages for various alternative multi-material concepts, today’s battery pack structures are predominantly made from aluminum and/or steel. As a first step OEMs are looking at replacing the less complex components, such as the lid and bottom protection plate, parts that don’t affect the battery pack internal design very much….
…this well-worn phrase actually works slightly different. But improving existing parts and technologies is often the best way to get the most out of a minimal investment. In this context, the question arises: can components that are currently produced in high volumes in the injection moulding process be optimised in terms of their carbon footprint…
