In the automotive industry, thermal analysis is a critical tool used to evaluate the thermal behavior and temperature-dependent properties of a diverse range of materials. This knowledge is vital for the product development, quality control, and safety of components. Whether you are a researcher, engineer, or technician, this webinar is an excellent opportunity to discover important thermal analysis techniques and how they can be applied to your work in the automotive industry.
Important Types of Thermal Investigation for Automotive Components
Due to the wide range of materials used in automotive components, many different types of thermal investigation are carried out to ensure quality standards are met. For example, gelation and curing studies provide important information about adhesives and injection foams. Comprehensive understanding of the glass transition, material composition, and mechanical behavior is required for both elastomers and composites, which are critical materials with many different uses. The four main techniques, DSC, TGA, (including EGA), TMA, and DMA, are ideal for these types of study.
In this webinar, we will share real-world examples to illustrate important techniques and conclude with a Q&A session where you can ask our experts your questions.
