Advanced warning systems, such as lane departure, cruise control and pedestrian detection, utilize sensors and other sensitive components that create new challenges for high reliability vehicle electronics.

Automotive lighting assemblies create unique challenges on assembly materials.

In-cabin electronics are becoming increasingly important to both control of the vehicle and comfort of its occupants. Electronic materials used in these devices require performance of a personal computer with increased reliability and optimization for total cost of ownership.

Powertrain related electronic systems are regularly exposed to high temperature (>120°C) and vibration. Joining materials used in these systems must exhibit the highest level of mechanical reliability under these extreme conditions. Alpha produces materials that, separately or in combination, deliver reliability that is unmatched in the industry.

Traction Inverters are a critical function in electric vehicles, with reliability, installed life and power density as key design objectives. Sinter materials and their use in power electronics enables reduced thermal resistance, improved power density and significantly improved reliability.
