Automotive Applications

The endless race for safer, more efficient and environmentally responsible transport is driving rapid technological advancements in the highly competitive industry.

The multitude of challenges facing this sector, including environmental and resource, alongside ever-changing consumer preferences, safety regulations and cutting-edge technologies, means innovative advanced materials are more critical than ever. Goodfellow is your partner to source high-quality advanced materials.

We understand the technical demands and challenges of the motorsport and high-end automotive industies require innovative and lightweight materials that do not compromise tensile strength and durability.

One of your key challenges is in achieving superior strength performance without the addition of weight. Typical materials used are alloys based on aluminum, magnesium and titanium. Composites and materials such as carbon fiber can be an excellent way of achieving excellent strength performance to ensure vehicle structural stability without the addition of the weight that steel components would add.

We provide high-quality metal foams that have the ability to absorb large amounts of mechanical energy for shock absorbers, for their protective properties in a crash or to help dampen vehicle sounds to reduce noise pollution.

If you need lightweight engine blocks, we supply aluminium and aluminum Alloys for structural components and other materials such as Titanium, proven for its higher tensile performance, or magnesium alloys, as a cost effective alternative.

We do 'hero' Graphene, as it has immense potential to revolutionize the automotive industry. It's known for weight reduction and enhanced properties, its application in breakthrough batteries and use in advanced electronics and sensors such as next-generation touch screens.

We can expect to see a growing number of vehicles utilizing graphene to achieve lighter weight, improved performance, and enhanced functionality. Goodfellow offers product customization capabilities via our expert Technical Solutions team.
