Which welding process is most sustainable for EV battery enclosures? Our life cycle assessment compares emissions, energy use, and materials across four joining methods.Compare welding methods for EV battery enclosures using LCA to determine environmental impacts and improve sustainable automotive manufacturing.| AHSS Guidelines
Tensile testing is one of the most basic formability characterization methods available. Results from tensile testing are a key input into metal forming simulations.| AHSS Guidelines
We are very excited to announce today, 30 June 2021, the launch of a new version of the Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) Application Guidelines, the leading source for technical best practices on AHSS metallurgy, forming and joining. The AHSS Application Guidelines Version 7.0 is now online at ahssinsights.org in this searchable database| AHSS Guidelines
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

Steels with a fully martensitic microstructure are associated with the highest tensile strength – grades with a tensile strength of 2000 MPa is commercially available, and higher strength levels are under development.| AHSS Guidelines
Characterizing the response during high-speed testing provides critical information used in crash simulations, but these tests often require upgraded equipment and procedures. Conventional tensile testing equipment may lack the ability to reach the required speeds (on the order of 20 m/s). Sensors for load and displacement must acquire accurate data during tests which take just a few milliseconds.| AHSS Guidelines
We have much more information on 3rd Gen steels here in the Guidelines.| AHSS Guidelines
Martensitic steel grades provide a cold formed alternative to hot formed press hardening steels. Not all product shapes can be cold formed. For those shapes where forming at ambient temperatures is possible, design and process strategies must address the springback which comes with the high strength levels, as well as eliminate the risk of delayed fracture.| AHSS Guidelines
