5 Reasons TABshield is a Strong Alternative to the Traditional Metal Heat Shield

When it comes to heat shielding, today's automotive marketplace continues to shift away from the traditional metal shield. In the past, large, inflexible, cumbersome metal shields effectively served the purpose of suppressing heat. As today’s automakers strive to achieve increasingly stringent lightweighting requirements, CAFE standards, and safety laws, however, the use of alternative materials is rising. Key factors make certain solutions more effective than others. These include the ability to reduce a part or product’s weight, lower tooling costs, speed to market, and more.

Benefits of Embossing in Heat Shielding Applications

Design engineers today are looking to achieve optimal thermal suppression in a variety of applications without the use of traditional metal heat shields. Custom-designed solutions made of alternative materials such as lightweight aluminum or foil-faced insulation are increasingly popular.  Used in conjunction with these alternative materials, features such as calotte embossing are helping manufacturers achieve optimal performance, lightweighting, and thermal management.  This post highlights some of the reasons that calotte embossing is an important step to include in the design and construction of a lightweight heat shield.
