Case Study: Daimler AG improves corrosion protection in automotive paneling with COMSOL Multiphysics

Daimler AG improves corrosion protection with Comsol

The customer, Daimler AG, faced the costly challenge of galvanic corrosion degrading different metals in its automotive paneling. To address this, Daimler partnered with vendor Comsol and used its COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software to study the complex electrochemical reactions affecting their components.

Comsol's solution enabled researchers to simulate and analyze the corrosion process, including electrochemical reactions on rivet surfaces, sheet metal decay, and the effects of geometry. Through this modeling, Comsol provided Daimler AG with key information that led to improved corrosion protection for its automotive parts, helping to prevent billions in annual industry losses.
