| Abstract Scope |
Recent coating innovations have opened the door to the use of new low temperature paint processes, which have the potential to reduce energy consumption and improve sustainability in automotive assembly plants. Successful transition to lower temperature bake process is also expected to enable introduction of new, lightweight polymeric materials as a substitute for metal parts, resulting in improved fuel efficiency and sustainability. In this talk, we will present recent efforts in mitigating the corrosion challenges posed by dissimilar material hem joint structures comprised of carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) and aluminum alloy for lightweight automotive applications. |
