• Plastics, especially thermoplastics, have become
  highly popular in a lot of industries. The
  significance of industrial thermoplastics has
  particularly risen in automotive engineering
  recently. It is because of industrial
  thermoplastics that the metallic colossus cars of
  the 1950s can be engineered in a compact sleek,
  and lightweight manner. Other than being used as
  a design component, thermoplastics offer various
  other advantages which make their usage highly
  desirable in the automotive industry. They
  provide boosters for fuel efficiency owing to
  their lightweight. However, the picture is not
  all rosy. The use of thermoplastics comes with
  its share of challenges. In this article, we have
  discussed five challenges associated with
  automotive thermoplastics and their solutions.
  Lets take a look.

Cost Pressure

• Due to the increased use of industrial
  thermoplastics in the automotive industry, the
  overall demand for thermoplastics has increased.
  Another challenge attached to this increased use
  of plastics is that suppliers have to change
  their manufacturing methods to incorporate the
  use of thermoplastics in automobiles. On the
  other hand, the prices have been brought down to
  their maximum by OEMs while expecting the quality
  of products to be the same. Hence it has become
  quite a challenge to maintain the same level of
  quality at the reduced prices of material. At the
  set prices, it has become difficult to use the
  appropriate material in the polymer manufacturing
  process, while meeting the strict requirements
  and standards.

Lack of precise material data

• Since the raw material is analyzed before use in
  the manufacturing of any product, it reduces the
  chances of using a defective or low-grade
  material. Raw materials are delivered along with
  the certificate of analysis to prove that the
  material is defect-free. However, the certificate
  only entails an account of basic parameters in
  tolerances. These parameters are considered
  insufficient for the thorough processing of the
  material. If you want to obtain a particular kind
  of data of the material, you will have to pay
  additional charges for it. Suppliers of the raw
  material should be able to determine the material
  characteristics independently so that they dont
  have to go through another round of analyses from
  the raw material manufacturers.

Severe consequences of defective material

• Using low-grade or defective thermoplastic in
  automobiles is highly dangerous as it not only
  tends to affect the quality of manufactured
  products but can be risky for the lives of people
  riding that automobile. Suppose if the part made
  of defective material gets faulty, that will put
  a question mark on the performance and quality of
  the whole batch. You will need to recall millions
  of cars from the same batch and make sure they
  dont contain that fault. Hence, it is of
  paramount importance that a materials history is
  also considered before utilizing it in
  manufacturing. To analyze the failure of
  thermoplastic parts, you need to have
  comprehensive knowledge of the material along
  with savvy tools to fend off any product
  liability charges.

Disruptive Mobility Concepts

• As the automobile industry is getting
  revolutionized, more savvy concepts are being
  heard of. These include autonomous driving,
  E-mobility, connected car, and so on. This means
  that the material especially Industrial
  Thermoplastics Austin, used in automobiles should
  be able to deliver integrated and automated
  functionalities. To qualify thermoplastics for
  designing intelligent machines, suppliers and
  OEMs have to be highly vigilant and cautious.
  Therefore a thorough analysis has to be carried
  out to ensure premium quality and flawless
  functioning.

Recent legal requirements

• People are becoming more and more environmentally
  conscious. All over the world, environmental
  awareness has gained the attention of the public.
  Consequently, new laws are being made in a lot of
  industries. In the automotive industry, suppliers
  and manufacturers are facing the challenge to
  make their products more fuel-efficient and
  lightweight. To cope up with these requirements
  and challenges, they are using different
  materials and design optimizations. To assess and
  qualify thermoplastics for engineering, thermal
  analysis is conducted. This is to assess to see
  how efficiently thermoplastics react and adapt to
  changes in the legal environment.
