The powder metal innovation technology highlights will include:
– Additive Manufacturing (3D metal printing) – The product development cycle accelerator
– Forged PM Bevel Gears – A solution for hybrids to improve life cycle durability and enabling downsizing/ weight reduction
– Densified PM Helical Gears – Sustainable solution for NVH reduction of transmission gears & systems
– SMC in eMotors – Soft magnetic composites enable the development of new electric motors with increased torque density and efficiency
– Hydrogen storage in metal hydride material – The unique, safe & compact solution for a world running on zero emission
Chris Franks, President Europe and Asia Pacific Operations confirmed: „We are proud to showcase these Innovations at the Frankfurt IAA. We are certain our customers will appreciate the technology innovations that will inspire solutions for the challenges of tomorrow and the technologies that have been industrialized for the challenges today.“
