Reducing the number of individual parts within an automotive body structure, through part integration, can yield further cost, weight, and sustainability benefits without compromising performance.| AHSS Guidelines
We have much more information on 3rd Gen steels here in the Guidelines.| AHSS Guidelines
Metal stampers and die shops experienced with mild and HSLA steels often have problems making parts from AHSS grades. The higher initial yield strengths and increased work hardening of these steels can require as much as four times the working loads of mild steel.| AHSS Guidelines
There is an increased need to join magnesium alloys to high-strength steels using resistance spot selding to create multi-material lightweight body structures for fuel-efficient vehicles.| AHSS Guidelines
