Ryerson University researchers are finding new ways to ensure automotive parts, such as engine blocks and cylinder heads, last longer and endure fewer repairs.
Through a partnership with Windsor-based manufacturer Nemak, the team is improving the production of these parts by developing aluminum and magnesium alloy components. Not only are these components lighter than the traditionally used steel, they are also stronger and perform better at high temperatures, improving performance and efficiency.
Lighter components mean lighter vehicles, lowering fuel consumption and emissions and contributing to sustainable transportation.
