1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The automotive industry is increasingly adopting LEDs for headlights, driven by advantages such as reliability, energy efficiency, compactness, durability, environmental friendliness, and longevity [1]. However, conventional LED packaging differs significantly from halogen or HID lamps in optical and thermal characteristics, posing challenges for direct application in forward-lighting. A study highlights
1. Overview: 2. Research Background: Automobile headlamp reflectors experience high temperatures due to heat generated by the lamp and their sealed structure. These high temperatures reduce light output and shorten lamp lifespan, potentially causing thermal shock deformation in nearby components. While previous research has investigated various aspects of LED lamp design and heat dissipation, including

1. Overview: 2. Research Background: The increasing global demand for environmentally friendly automotive manufacturing necessitates lightweighting techniques to address the weight increase associated with electric vehicle (EV) batteries. Volvo Cars is investing in large-scale casting (Mega-casting) using High-Pressure Die Casting (HPDC) to simplify assembly, improve efficiency, and enhance product quality. However, mega-casting presents challenges related
