RE:Ni, Fe, Ti,... Tesla Al alloys choices! Where is scandium with that?
OgnyQ4 wrote: Commercial cast aluminum alloys fall into one of two categories either possessing high-yield strength or possessing high conductivity....................................... Therefore, Tesla is trying to create alloys with high-yield strength and conductivity while being resistant to hot tearing in order to be used in die casting drive unit components...................................... In comparison with the numbers listed above, Tesla claims that its new aluminum alloys can be tweaked to achieve yield strength of 90 MPa to 150 MPa and electrical conductivity of 40% IACS up to 60% IACS.................................. They also claim that the new alloys can support die casting...........................................................................................................-------------------------------------------------------- https://electrek.co/2020/02/07/tesla-aluminum-alloys-die-casting-in-electric-car-parts/
