| Résumé : |
Coatings specialists are enabling materials previously unsuitable for automotive applications, to help solve issues including heat, wear and electrical insulation.
The automotive industry has long used coatings in body, chassis, power train and interior applications. Now, novel surface technology derived from the nuclear industry is enabling engineers to solve hear, wear and performance issues in a range of harsh environments, allowing the use of lighter materials. A UK-based firm, formerly part of the UK's Atomic Energy Authority, originally developed its technologies for use in reactors but in the past 10 years has been expanding into the automotive industry. Now, with a more diverse offering and the opportunity to bring lighweight materials into the industry, the technology is on the brink of high volume applications around the car. |
