Description
The SCIENZE (Supply Chain Innovation Engineering for Net Zero) Project aims to create a UK based supply chain that is capable of manufacturing the next generation of power electronic components at volumes higher than is currently feasible to do today. The project has taken McLaren Applied’s 800V SiC inverter (IPG5 inverter) and develop a cost-competitive manufacturing route in the challenging and cost-conscious automotive market. TWI’s main contribution to the SCIENZE project focussed on supporting the design of the cold plate section of the IPG5 inverter for friction stir welding (FSW) and friction stir spot welding (FSSW) as well as the development of a FSW/FSSW procedure for the welding of the stamped lid to the IPG5 inverter housing.
