Tailored parts are the term given to those parts that may have zones with different thickness, chemistry, or heat treatment, resulting in a reduced number of components, weight reduction, and/or lower costs. These goals are achieved through part consolidation and by reducing or in some cases even eliminating joining operations.| AHSS Guidelines
You’ll find most of this content as part of our page on Press Hardening Steel Grades, but this month, we want to highlight it in our AHSS Insights blog. Thanks to Eren Billur, Ph.D., President, Billur Metal Form, for providing this information. What Are Press Hardening Steel Grades and How Are They Made?

A consortium of 35 global sheet steel producers representing 22 countries began the UltraLight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB) program in 1994 with the goal of designing a lightweight steel auto body structure that would meet existing and proposed safety and performance targets. The body-in-white (BIW) unveiled in 1998 validated the design concepts of the program, […]| AHSS Guidelines
Automakers contemplating whether a part is cold stamped or hot formed must consider numerous ramifications impacting multiple departments. Over a series of blogs, we’ll cover some of the considerations that must enter the discussion.| AHSS Guidelines
Key materials characteristics for formed parts include strength, thickness, and corrosion protection. Tailored products provide opportunities to place these attributes where they are most needed for part function, and remove weight that does not contribute to part performance.| AHSS Guidelines
The Steel E-Motive program will demonstrate the benefits of steel, linking the properties of the material to the required architectures and attributes for MaaS vehicles. It connects us with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and future mobility providers (FMPs), reinforcing steel’s advantages in strength, durability, sustainability and affordability.| AHSS Guidelines
