SPLICE seeks a step change in weight reduction for springs by using bespoke reinforced polymers to replace oiltempered silicon chrome steel springs for applications with medium to high stress & fatigue levels.The feasibility study will deliver tested demonstration springs with an application relevant materialspecification that have been produced via a lab-level polymer wire and spring manufacturing process. This willenable follow-on projects to be developed based on an understanding of the performance of the material andfully researched relevant applications for this new technology in automotive applications.This project will also enable the UK spring machine manufacturers and other UK spring manufacturers tobenefit by the development of analytical design & process software. Long term this could lead to a full UKsupply chain at the forefront of reinforced polymer springs technology.

SPLICE寻求通过使用定制的增强聚合物来替代油回火硅Chrome钢弹簧，以减轻弹簧重量的一步变化，用于中高应力和疲劳水平的应用。可行性研究将提供经过测试的示范弹簧，其材料规格与应用相关，通过实验室级聚合物丝和弹簧制造工艺生产。这将使后续项目的开发基于对材料性能的理解，并充分研究这种新技术在汽车应用中的相关应用。该项目还将使英国弹簧机制造商和其他英国弹簧制造商受益于分析设计和过程软件的开发。从长远来看，这可能会导致一个完整的英国供应链的最前沿的增强聚合物弹簧技术。
