The objective of the “AdCrManu” project is to prove a concept which when proven willenable partners to take commercial advantage of an existing urgent global market demand forlighter-weight and more complex automotive components.The main aim of the project is to prove a concept which will enable the mass-manufacturingof complex die-cast aluminium “hybrid” components. Hybrid die-cast components made ofaluminium-steel and aluminium-plastic have the strength necessary to replace heavier steelparts and single-material parts thereby reducing weight , saving fuel and reducing CO2emissions especially in automotive applications.The concept to be proven is that the efficiency of aluminium die-casting manufacturingprocesses can be improved through the development of an innovative new generation ofmultifunctional nanostructured protective coatings.These innovative new coatings will provide the benefits of enabling the mass-manufacturingof hybrid components and other Al-die cast components with more complex shapes than cancurrently be Al-die cast. These innovative protective coatings will prolong Al-die cast toollife, enhancing production efficiency and reducing production cost thereby making it costeffective for end-users (automotive manufacturers) to use more hybrid and complex shapedaluminium die-cast components, and so growing the market for hybrid, and more complexshaped Al-die-cast components.

“ Adcrmanu”项目的目的是证明一个概念，当证明可将合作伙伴证明可以利用现有的紧急全球市场需求的商业优势时，该概念延迟及更复杂的汽车组件。由铝钢和铝制塑料制成的混合模具组件具有替换较重的钢板和单物质零件的必要强度，从而减少了重量，节省了燃料和减少二氧化碳，尤其是在汽车应用中，尤其是在汽车应用中。这些创新的新涂层将提供纳米结构的保护涂层。与目前相比，具有更复杂形状的混合动力组件和其他al-die铸件的大规模制造的好处。这些创新的防护涂层将延长al-die铸造toollife，提高生产效率并降低生产成本，从而使最终用户（汽车制造商）使用更多的混合和复杂形状的模具型模量成分，从而使其成本效益，从而使杂种和更复杂的形状的al-Die-die-copastents的市场增长。
