High-Strength Electroformed Nanostructured Aluminum for Lightweight Automotive Applications
- Xtalic Corporation, Marlborough, MA (United States)
This is the final technical report on the development of nanostructured light weight aluminum alloys for automotive applications. We describe the use of thermodynamically stabilized aluminum alloys and the processes used to create them electrolytically. The alloy is strong and ductile with strengths of 680 MPa and ductility greater than 8%. The material currently produces a cost impact of $4.5 per pound saved with a roadmap to get to $2 per pound saved.
