The road to success in carbon composites
for the automotive market
Dr. Sanjay MazuMDar

Recently, there has been significant focus on developing automotive parts using lightweight materials. CAFÉ standards of
54.5 mpg by 2025 and the EU mandate of CO2 emission levels
at 95g/km by 2020 are the key drivers of lightweight materials in the global automotive industry.
Carbon composites
A
s per Lucintel's market
analysis, lightweight
materials (HSS/AHSS
, aluminium, composites and
magnesium) together accounted for 30% of the global automotive materials market in 2015 and are expected
to increase to a 41% share in
2025. From Ford's all-aluminium F-150 to Audi, BMW,
GM, Jaguar, Mercedes Benz
and Porsche, lightweight materials are being adopted for
various applications. These
areas of interest span beyond
body-in-white (BIW) to
chassis, closure panels, powertrain, and interiors.
Among these lightweight
materials, carbon composites
offer the maximum weight
savings potential; however,
carbon composites come
with a substantial price premium. As more equipment
manufacturers (OEMs) utilize carbon composites in various OEM platforms, the future of these materials looks
promising. The most important development is that the
global carbon composites
industry is about to enter
a period of wide-ranging
and transformative change,
as demands continue to shift
and environmental regulations tighten.
Companies that want to be
successful in this space need
to quickly develop strategies
responding to this most important trend. This article
offers a perspective on the
challenges faced by automotive OEMs with respect
to adopting greater use of
carbon composites, and
what industry needs to do
to address these challenges.
Research for the article is
based on discussions and
interviews with the OEMs,
as well as with composite
part fabricators, touching on
a range of composite applications and topics.
The usage of carbon composites in automotive applications is still evolving. The
best opportunity for these
No107 August - September 2016
materials is in closure panels
and body frames, where auto
OEMs are seeking to maximize weight savings. Many
automotive design engineers
have been assigned a target
of reducing weight by 50% in
parts used for these applications.
Expected market
growth
As per Lucintel's market
study, the total worldwide
demand for carbon-fibre
composite products such as
roof panels, body frames,
closure panels, and others
in the automotive industry
reached a value of US $2.4
billion in 2015. The market is expected to grow to
