Successful Use in Automotive Components
In automotive manufacturing, the use of lightweight and high-strength materials is crucial. The PA66-CF60 composite material developed by Carbon (Xiamen) New Material has been applied in the suspension system of a new electric vehicle, bringing significant breakthroughs to the automotive industry.
The goal of this project was to replace traditional metal materials with PA66-CF60 to reduce the weight of the suspension system while enhancing its strength. Through precise calculations and testing, engineers found that using PA66-CF60 resulted in a 30% weight reduction of the suspension system, while flexural strength increased by approximately 60%. This significant weight reduction not only improved the vehicle’s range but also enhanced driving stability.
In actual road tests, the suspension system performed excellently in high-temperature and humid environments, showing no signs of deformation or degradation. After prolonged performance evaluations, the low water absorption and good chemical resistance of the material ensured the reliability of the suspension system under various environmental conditions.
The successful implementation of this project provided the automotive manufacturer with a competitive edge in a fiercely competitive market and offered new material options for future electric vehicle designs. By utilizing PA66-CF60, Carbon (Xiamen) New Material helped clients achieve a perfect combination of performance and efficiency, contributing to the sustainable development of the automotive industry. With the growing demand for high-performance materials, PA66-CF60 is expected to be applied in more automotive components.
