Cars and Light Trucks Robert Muzzin
Slide 2: Agenda
Agenda Applications and heat treatment processes found on cars and light trucks Disruptive technology effects of electric vehicles Examples of electric vehicle powertrains and transmissions Bodycote’s technologies Change brings opportunity 2
Slide 3: Bodycote Automotive
Bodycote Automotive Moving the world injectors ball studs Many types of stampings brake pistons treatment including rear axle rings transmission shafts torque converters fasteners carburising pinion gears brake discs vacuum hardening transmission gears austempering gas nitriding air bag components C
Slide 4: Electric vehicles
Electric vehicles Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs) are expected to replace Internal Combustion Engines (ICEs) About £65m of car and light truck revenues are ICE specific 6 to 12 speed transmissions make up a significant portion of ICE specific sales PHEVs
Slide 5: BEV powertrain
BEV powertrain Treatment needs Planetary gear set: Nitrided ring gear Low Pressure Carburising (LPC) and nitrided sun gear and pinions, and bevel gears CiD®-treated ductile-iron differential case Drivetrain: Atmospheric carburising for U-joints (candidate for LPC oil quench) Plus CiD® for
Slide 6: BEV transmission
BEV transmission A continuing evolution Multi-gear transmissions like GKN’s eTwinsterX are being developed to resolve issues typically seen from the single geared BEV design Like its planetary geared sibling, a multi-geared e-transmission provides better top speed performance at lower RPMs, draw
Slide 7: Our technologies
Our technologies Bodycote is the world’s largest supplier of gas nitriding Low Pressure Carburising (LPC) Gas Nitriding Specialist technology giving high hardness below the Thermochemical surface hardening process – diffuses surface compared to atmospheric carburising nitrogen into surface witho
Slide 8: Classical atmospheric carburising vs LPC
Classical atmospheric carburising vs LPC LPC similar to atmospheric carburising, but done under vacuum Atmospheric carburising Low Pressure Carburising (LPC) 8
Slide 9: LPC
LPC Technical advantages Increased durability Better fatigue characteristics, resulting in a longer product life Lower distortion and more dimensionally consistent Minimising the need for post-heat treat machining and reducing total overall cost to manufacture Cleaner components No post-treatm
Slide 10: Gas Nitriding & CiD®
Gas Nitriding & CiD® Gas Nitriding CiD® A low temperature thermochemical surface hardening A low temperature thermochemical surface hardening process process Nitrogen is added to the surface of steel using In addition to nitrogen it adds carbon and a stable ammonia as the source resulting in
Slide 11: Gas Nitriding & CiD®
Gas Nitriding & CiD® Technical advantages Transmission ring gear – Nitrided Brake pistons – without and with CiD® Gas Nitriding – Reduced wear and contact fatigue CiD® – Reduction in warranty costs In powertrain components, such as planetary ring In exposed chassis components, such as brake gear
Slide 12: Change brings opportunity
Change brings opportunity Growth in continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) for PHEVs provides extra sales opportunities In time, transmission technologies for BEVs will provide even greater sales growth from increased market share through LPC, gas nitriding and CiD® …and also, some OEMs like
