DESCRIPTION:Thermoplastic composites are increasingly being utilized in var
ious applications such as automotive\, energy\, sports\, and even aerospac
e and defense. This is due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratios\,
which make them prime candidates for automotive and aerospace light weight
ing applications. Automotive light weighting is the practice of decreasing
the weight of the vehicle to increase its fuel efficiency.
\n
\
nPreviously\, light weighting was accomplished mainly by replacing convent
ional steel components with lighter metals such as aluminum. However\, wit
h more stringent carbon emission standards and the demand by consumers for
cars with higher fuel efficiency\, the need for materials with better att
ributes than light-weight metallic alloys became apparent. This has driven
the interest in using thermoplastic composites (TPCs) as a viable replace
ment for load-bearing metal components.
\n
\nThis webinar will c
over:\n
\n - Potential utilization of thermop
lastic composites in modern fuel-efficient vehicles and other applications
\n - The use of materialographic techniques to characterize thei
r microstructures
