Traditional joining techniques in the automotive industry include welding and mechanical fasteners. However, many challenges arise when using these methods. By using structural adhesives, the need for mechanical fasteners as well as post-weld rework is eliminated. Adhesives also eliminate heat-affected zones and can double as a sealant. In traditional fastening methods, mounting lugs, screws, and… Read more »

3 factors that impact gap filler reworkability in EV battery packs
Sponsored by Parker LORD The design of electric vehicle battery packs may vary among manufacturers but commonly, the battery is attached to its cooling plate not only with fasteners but also thermally conductive polymeric materials called gap fillers. Gap fillers can outperform thermal pads in this application to achieve lower thermal impedance, as the gap… Read more »
Webinar: Rework ability of gap fillers in EV battery packs
The fast-growing electric vehicle market demands robust and efficient thermal management solutions for battery packs, such as gap fillers and thermal pads. Gap fillers outperform thermal pads to achieve lower thermal impedance, as the gap fillers conform to surface roughness before curing. This allows gap fillers to adhere well to surfaces and provide mechanical support… Read more »
