How is Mica Used for Electric Vehicle Battery Insulation?

Image
Electric vehicles are the future. The ban on petrol and diesel vehicles is going to roll out by 2030. Thus, the transition to electric vehicles is inevitable. Electric vehicle technology is still in the early stages and thus expensive.  Apart from making efficient battery systems, manufacturers need to ensure that electric vehicle battery systems are safe. The electric vehicle battery pack needs to be insulated thermally and electrically to ensure safety. In this post, we will look at how mica material is used for electric vehicle battery insulation.   Mica Battery Pack Insulation  Mica battery pack insulation is used as a high-temperature incombustible barrier around battery packs and to electrically insulate the battery pack from other critical components of an electric vehicle. Axim Mica mica car battery pack insulation comes with the UL-94 rating and CE and ROHS certifications. You can partner with Axim Mica to design a customized battery pack insulation. Axim h...

Formation of Composite Mica Sheets & Their Benefits

Image
Mica sheets are one of the trending things that are being demanded more and more by all sorts of industries due to their high resistivity towards heat. Mica is extracted from igneous rocks consisting of layers of volcanic material, and it comes in different grades with different applications and uses. It is one of the most flexible and rigid minerals that can be composite or pure in its chemical composition.   What is the process of forming the Composite Mica Sheets?   Mica can be composite or pure in form; thus, it is mixed with other materials in the composite sheet form. This blending and mixing process bolsters natural strength and adaptability. There are different ways of forming the composite Mica and out, and the major is grinding the particles.  The Mica is first ground into small particles with the help of micro-Pulver sing equipment, and then these particles are combined with water and a colloid substance that suspends the particles. The substance becom...

Use of Mica for High-temperature Furnace Thermal Insulation

Image
Mica is used in the steel and foundry industry for thermal and electrical insulation of furnaces. Furnaces are used to melt iron, aluminum, and steel to manufacture a wide range of metal products to be used in other industries. Thus, the economy is directly connected to the steel and foundry industry.   There are a variety of components that play a key role in ensuring the efficiency of operations of the steel and foundry factory. Furnaces are one of the key components. Mica material is used for the thermal insulation of the furnaces, construction of the floor of the furnace, and as a slip plane for the furnace. Have a look at the use of mica for high-temperature furnace thermal insulation. Thermal insulation of furnace               Molten metal can penetrate through the work lining. It can damage the furnace and degrade its life. Mica thermal insulation is used to prevent it. Mica prevents heat damage to furnaces with its exceptional ther...
