Nanyang Technological University and automotive supplier Motherson are collaborating to adapt a magnetic heating process for industrial coatings. In laboratory tests, adhesives cured for one hour achieved bonding strength comparable to coatings cured in a conventional oven for 24 hours.

The process, called Spinheat, adds magnetic nanoparticles to paints, adhesives or resins. An alternating magnetic field heats the particles inside the material, avoiding the need to heat an entire component. Its latest version adjusts the field using real-time temperature feedback.

The partners will investigate coating thickness, curing speed, temperature control and component shapes to establish whether the process can work reliably in automotive and aerospace manufacturing.
