Stator windings in traction motors for electric vehicles are created by joining multiple short copper wire sections. Current joining approaches for these multiple copper wire sections lack the productivity for high volume manufacturing, require an increased amount of copper for assembly, and risk reduced joint strength due to softened copper from extended thermal cycles. In...

The ASTM International Additive Manufacturing Center of Excellence will host its first workshop on Monday, March 25 at the Auburn Marriott Opelika Resort & Spa at Grand National in Alabama, USA. The workshop immediately precedes the biannual meeting of ASTM International’s committee on additive manufacturing technologies (F42). “There is a critical demand from industry and...

Electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology is rapidly evolving. Technological advances now push change not only in battery systems but in cable and wiring systems as well. Complex electrical distribution systems within EV and HEV engines are driving cutting-edge R&D in materials joining, wire harness and cable network designs, and more. Tech...
