Ningbo Boway Alloy Plate and Strip Co., Ltd. (“Boway Alloy“) made its first appearance at The Battery Show & Electric & Hybrid Vehicle Technology Expo in Detroit this month, presenting a portfolio of high-performance material solutions for new energy vehicles and intelligent driving applications.
The event, recognized as North America’s largest gathering for battery and electric vehicle (EV) technologies, provided an important stage for the company’s global expansion.
Boway Alloy introduced new copper alloy materials engineered to meet the increasing demands of EV connectors, often described as the “neural network” of the vehicle. These materials are designed to improve power density, heat resistance, and reliability to support electrification, connectivity, and automated driving.
Among the highlights was boway 18160, offering conductivity above 88% IACS, high-temperature resistance up to 180° C, and yield strength exceeding 560 MPa, making it suitable for Pressfit and high-voltage connector terminals where stable current transmission is critical. boway 42300 provides a cost-effective, environmentally conscious alternative to phosphor bronze for signal connectors, doubling conductivity compared to C51900 while maintaining stress and temperature resistance.
Other materials included boway 70318, which supports miniaturization by enabling high elasticity and current capacity in compact relays, and boway 70250, which improves crimping reliability in ECU terminals. The company’s HDT/EPT+Reflow pre-plated solution also enhances corrosion resistance and reduces insertion force in harsh environments.
Beyond automotive applications, Boway Alloy presented materials for consumer electronics and construction machinery, such as boway 19920 and boway 51900, emphasizing high strength, recyclability, and plating compatibility.
Boway Alloy also highlighted its advanced customization capabilities and use of digital simulation and AI technologies to accelerate R&D. These approaches enable faster development of tailored copper products for connector and electronic system manufacturers, reducing time-to-market and supporting the growing electrification ecosystem.
Boway Alloy’s debut in Detroit underscored its commitment to advancing material innovation for electric vehicles and strengthening collaboration within the North American EV supply chain.
