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
The Hole Expansion test (HET) quantifies the edge stretching capability of a sheet metal grade having a specific edge condition. Many variables affect hole expansion performance. By understanding the microstructural basis for this performance, steelmakers have been able to create new grades with better edge stretch capability.| AHSS Guidelines
Automakers face conflicting constraints when designing new body structures: With escalating concerns about human-induced green-house gases, global legislators have passed increasingly stringent vehicle emissions regulations, with even more aggressive targets planned for the coming years. Lighter weight body structures promote reduced vehicle emissions. Fuel price increases lead to greater consumer sensitivity to vehicle fuel economy. […]| AHSS Guidelines
Steel, and specifically advanced high strength steel, satisfies automotive industry requirements for safety, emissions, fuel efficiency, manufacturability, durability, and affordability. Affordability The automotive industry has adopted light-weighting as a key part of their greenhouse gas reduction strategy. This strategy, however, must be executed in an affordable manner. Key reasons to deploy advanced high strength steels […]| AHSS Guidelines

There are different ways to classify automotive steels. One is a metallurgical designation providing some process information. Common designations include lower-strength steels (interstitial-free and mild steels); conventional high strength steels, such as bake hardenable and high-strength, low-alloy steels (HSLA); and Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) such as dual phase and transformation-induced plasticity steels. Additional higher strength steels include press hardening steels and steel...| AHSS Guidelines

Steel E-Motive represents a fully autonomous ride sharing vehicle concept showcasing the strength and durability of steel with a critical focus on sustainability for reaching net zero emissions targets. The results are comfortable, safe and affordable body structures that support automakers in the continued development of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) ride sharing models. The […]| AHSS Guidelines
Using Life Cycle Assessment, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) mobility solutions like WorldAutoSteel’s flaghip Steel E-Motive (SEM) program have the potential to contribute to a reduction in GHG emissions, helping to achieve these global targets and specific policy objectives.| 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
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
