NADCA receives funding

WHEELING - NADCA has received $1.5 million in funding for the HyperCAST project. The purpose of the project is to develop materials and processes for cast high-strength lightweight frame, body, chassis and powertrain components for fuel-efficient passenger cars and both commercial and military trucks. The advanced materials and processes developed will focus on fuel efficiency and cost effectiveness to offer the potential for 60 percent weight reduction without compromising component performance, cost, safety or recyclability. Magnesium-based composites are the primary focus. ADCA is headquartered in Wheeling.
