Part Integration with an innovative battery housing design and laser welded blank door ring can be used to reduce both mass and cost.| AHSS Guidelines
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
Tensile property characterization of mild and high strength low alloy steel (HSLA) traditionally was tested only in the rolling direction and included only yield strength, tensile strength, and total elongation.| AHSS Guidelines
Evaluating sheet metal formability using computer software has been in common industrial use for more than two decades. The current sheet metal forming programs are part of the transition to virtual manufacturing that includes analysis of casting solidification and rolling at the metal production facility, welding, moulding of sheet/fiber composites, automation, and other manufacturing processes. Computer simulation of sheet metal forming is known by several terms, including computerized form...| AHSS Guidelines
