Agenda

Aluminum Alloys

Mandy leads

• Advantages and challenges
• Comparing aluminum to steel

Aluminum in Cars

Kyle leads

• Aluminum parts
• Compositions of aluminum alloys in cars presently
• Treatments used for aluminum alloys

Adhesive Bonding

Shauna leads

• Advantages and disadvantages to adhesive bonding compared to other joining methods

Paint Bake Cycle

Andy leads

• What it is
• Process
  • Electrocoating
  • Powder coating

Future Steps

Shauna leads

• Literature review for models
  • Adhesive bonding: Shauna, Mandy
  • Heat transfer: Andy, Kyle
  • Precipitation hardening: Zoe
  • Recovery: Mandy

• Preliminary models

Questions

• Clarify: Do we get the 6000 series at whichever point in the aging curve that we want?
• Is there a specific 5000 or 6000 series to use? Unable to find mention in literature - recommendations?
• Clarify: Mention of powder coating in meeting - little mention in literature.
• Which alluminum alloy parts in car are we looking for specifically to do the model? (door panels? hood? BIW?)

Minutes

Paint Baking

• Research challenge-Could only find research on electro deposition
• Could not find the time and temperature for aluminum paint baking process
• ACTION: contact specific company to obtain info- Chad is looking into it then directs the contact information later

Q and A From agenda

• Model should be able to model any condition of the 6000 alloys. It is NOT a parameter at this point
• General model such that by changing parameters and constants we can still get the model to work

Literature review from last week

• Review everyone’s summary
• Critically review those summaries professionally
• Chad will provide specific comments on Monday
• REFERNCE!

Actions for next week

• Adhesion: Meet with Goran (with Judy) next week to dicuss
  • Read literature on curing kinetics, predictions and see what other information we need for our model
  • Obtain equations and ask Goran about them
• Heat Transfer
  • Look into Transport I and Modelling
  • Look into equations
  • Think carefully about what to do such as assumptions
  • Start simple- add complexity along the way

• Precipitation Hardening
  • Mtrl 381- look into theories
  • Mtrl 378, 361, 365
  • Pick out equations

• Recovery
  • Master thesis
  • Callister
  • Equations
  • Bibliography

Next Friday

• Models, equations- figure out which ones to use
• Chad is available on Wednesday if we need his help
• Simplest situation, complexity later\
• Programs?
