Analysis of Aluminum–Cerium Based Conductor Die-Casting Alloys for High Performance Electric Vehicle Powertrain Applications

Analysis of Aluminum–Cerium Based Conductor Die-Casting Alloys for High Performance Electric Vehicle Powertrain Applications

Abstract Lightweighting of electric vehicles is an important consideration to improve range and potentially reduce the vehicle price by downsizing expensive battery and motor components. Aluminum alloys have a combination of light weight, high electrical conductivity and strength that are required in e-motor applications to achieve high power output and efficiency. In this research, Al–Ce

Al Alloys and Manufacturing Processes for Lightweight Applications in Electric Vehicles

Abstract. Due to increasing environmental concerns, battery-powered electric vehicles (BEV) have gained popularity in the automotive for the past few years. An induction motor is an essential component of the propulsion system in integrated BEVs working on different operating conditions [1]. Since a rotor of the induction motor is configured with an electrical sheet, a
