Multi-phase semi-finished body structures: BayerRecent Research Landscape

Vehicle weight and assembly costs rise when structural components lack sufficient stiffness-to-weight ratios. This architecture integrates metallic outer skins with composite cores to provide high-load bearing capacity while reducing mass.

What technical problems is Bayer addressing in Multi-phase semi-finished body structures?

Inadequate vehicle structural weight

(32)evidences

Standard metallic vehicle components impose significant mass penalties that reduce fuel efficiency and range. Replacing these with multi-phase plastic composites addresses the fundamental limitation of heavy structural materials.

Component traceability and manufacturing defects

(29)evidences

Conventional manufacturing of multi-phase and fiber-reinforced structures suffers from slow throughput and high scrap rates during transformation. Reducing these bottlenecks enables high-volume production of lightweight safety components.
