Keysight G200 Applications

in the Automotive Industry

Batteries - Mechanical reliability and degradation testing

The mechanical reliability and the life cycle of different types of batteries are of utmost importance for the automotive industry. The Keysight G200 enables researchers to investigate the mechanical properties of rechargeable batteries, e.g., lithium-ion batteries, nickel metal hydride batteries, and sodium-nickel chloride batteries. The Keysight G200 correlates the life cycle of the battery and its number of charge and discharge cycles with mechanical properties of the electrode materials.

Innovative automotive components – materials section

Energy efficiency and environmental regulation have a large impact on the material selection of automotive components. These components range from high-tech composite, solar power coating, high strength steel, to aluminum. The Keysight G200 provides scientists and engineers a fully integrated solution for measuring innovative materials, allowing them to keep up with the ever-changing demands of the automotive industry. Figure 3 is an example of fast mechanical mapping on multi-phase alloy, obtained within 15 minutes, for 400 data points.

Hard coatings and thin film - wear resistant with quality control

The driving force in developing more advanced automotive coating techniques includes enhancing the durability and appearance of vehicles in extreme environmental conditions. The Keysight G200 enables rapid and automatic wear testing, stretch testing, and hardness measurement that meet industry standards (ISO/Gage R&R). The G200 guarantees the fastest, highest performance in the market.

Tire cross-section - Local DMA measurement on multi-layer polymer

Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) is commonly used in the automotive tire industry to the viscoelastic behavior of different polymers. Since tires normally have complicated composite layer structures, which are designed to optimize different functional properties, a cross-section viscoelastic properties mapping of the tire is critical for development of new tires and quality control of existing tires. Figure 5 is an example of local DMA measurement on multi-layer polymer using the Keysight Nano Indenter G200, which shows the variation in the cross sectional properties of tire.
