FLAMINGo at the Flexcrash Conference

On April 4^th, the FLAMINGo Project H2020 actively participated in the Flexcrash EU Project conference, contributing two noteworthy presentations by MBN Nanomaterialia Spa and Brunel University London. This conference, focused on “Shaping the future for a safer and lighter automotive industry,” served as an ideal platform to highlight FLAMINGo’s goals and advancements in automotive safety and innovation.

MBN Nanomaterialia Spa’s presentation delved into the intricate details surrounding the life cycle of Titanium Carbide (TiC) reinforced Aluminium alloys. Through comprehensive analysis, they explored the material’s durability, performance, and environmental impact across various stages of its life cycle. This research sheds valuable light on the sustainable utilization of advanced materials in automotive manufacturing processes.

In parallel, Brunel University London presented groundbreaking research on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 6xxx series alloys integrated with ceramic nano-particles. By studying these alloys at a microscopic level, they unveiled critical insights into enhancing structural integrity and performance while simultaneously reducing weight—a paramount consideration in modern automotive design and engineering.

These presentations not only showcased FLAMINGo’s commitment to fostering innovation but also emphasized its dedication to addressing key challenges faced by the automotive industry. By collaborating with leading experts and institutions, FLAMINGo continues to pioneer solutions that prioritize safety, sustainability, and efficiency across the automotive value chain.

For those eager to delve deeper into the discussions and findings presented at the conference, access to the presentations and recordings is available here. Stay connected with FLAMINGo as we navigate the forefront of automotive research, driving impactful change and shaping the future of mobility!
