- Armatures
- Support for on-board consumer electronics
- Radiators and driveshafts
The Materials Work for Automotive Components
Below are the commonly used materials for customized automotive components, designed to reduce vehicle weight, lower noise output, minimize stress and vibration, and promote eco-friendliness.
Aluminum alloys are commonly chosen for automotive components such as engine blocks, transmission housings, wheels, suspension parts, radiators, and body panels due to their lightweight, strength, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity.
Titanium alloys are commonly used in components like rocker arms, connecting rods, valve springs, steering gears, exhaust systems, and driveshafts due to their lightweight nature, immense strength, and exceptional resistance to both heat and corrosion.
Due to their exceptional strength, durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness, steel alloys are popularly applied in automotive components such as chassis, body frames, drive shafts, gears, axles, and brake systems.
How We help for Automotive Development
Rapid Prototyping
Mitigate design risk through prototyping, helping clients choose the right material and refine their designs using 3D printing, CNC machining, or sheet metal fabrication.
Quality Inspections
Validate part geometry with strict quality inspection, including material certification, FAI reports, dimensional accuracy, surface finish, hardness, film thickness, and any special requirements.
Tooling and Fixtures
Develop custom tools and fixtures to enhance manufacturing processes, achieve greater automation, streamline component assembly, and ensure the production of desired components.
On-damand production
Provide on-demand support for line-down emergencies or other supply chain disruptions. Enable more diverse and customized automotive features tailored to the needs of modern drivers.
