Abstract
The UltraLight Steel Auto Body Advanced Vehicle Concepts (ULSAB-AVC) program is the most recent addition to the global steel industry's series of lightweighting initiatives. It succeeds ULSAB [1, 2], ULSAC [3] and ULSAS [4]. These programs offer steel solutions to the challenges facing automakers around the world today: to increase vehicle fuel efficiency while improving safety, performance and maintaining affordability. This paper focuses on the manufacturing aspects and processes used in the two steel vehicles designed in the ULSAB-AVC program:
- Stamping
- Tailor Welded Blanks
- Tubes, including tailored tubes
- Sheet and tube hydroforming
- Forming simulations
- Joining for assembly
