Ask anyone involved exactly which companies use 3-D printing technology to create concepts and the answer will invariably be, “many of them.” One company, however, […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/12155/the-secret-world-of-printing-concept-cars-in-3-d/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/10265/resistance-spot-weldability-of-high-strength-steel-hss-sheets-for-automobiles/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/10265/resistance-spot-weldability-of-high-strength-steel-hss-sheets-for-automobiles/#respond Mon, 06 Dec 2010 12:50:41 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/?post_type=pub&p=10265 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/10265/resistance-spot-weldability-of-high-strength-steel-hss-sheets-for-automobiles/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4953/hydroforming-high-strength-steel-tube-for-automotive/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4953/hydroforming-high-strength-steel-tube-for-automotive/#respond Thu, 15 Apr 2010 21:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/hydroforming-high-strength-steel-tube-for-automotive/ The need for lighter, stronger, more rigid vehicle structures will increasingly require complex hydroformed structural tubes to increase strength, and decrease weight, cost and part count. This effort will increase the use of high strength, low alloy (HSLA) steel, in place of SAE 1006/1008 or 1010 steel. Traditional hydroforming techniques require the higher elongation of […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4953/hydroforming-high-strength-steel-tube-for-automotive/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4742/introduction-to-the-hydroforming-processes/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4742/introduction-to-the-hydroforming-processes/#respond Mon, 21 Mar 2005 22:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/introduction-to-the-hydroforming-processes/ To try to answer some of the most important global demands of current designs, such as economic efficiency of technical solutions, careful handling of energy and raw materials, optimized work-piece properties innovations in processes and approaches, near to more conventional solutions, are developed. Moreover it is to consider that the increasing technological demands concerning the […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4742/introduction-to-the-hydroforming-processes/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4741/pressure-sequencing-expands-the-use-of-hydroforming/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4741/pressure-sequencing-expands-the-use-of-hydroforming/#respond Mon, 21 Mar 2005 12:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/pressure-sequencing-expands-the-use-of-hydroforming/ ]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4741/pressure-sequencing-expands-the-use-of-hydroforming/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4732/die-casting-common-terms/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4732/die-casting-common-terms/#respond Sat, 12 Mar 2005 22:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/die-casting-common-terms/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4732/die-casting-common-terms/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4739/microstructure-and-mechanical-properties-of-squeeze-cast/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4739/microstructure-and-mechanical-properties-of-squeeze-cast/#respond Sat, 12 Mar 2005 22:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/microstructure-and-mechanical-properties-of-squeeze-cast/ Magnesium-aluminium castings produced by means of squeeze casting, new rheocasting and thixocasting have been investigated. These casting processes provide very different microstructures consisting of a-Mg and b-Mg17Al12. The shape and distribution of the brittle b-Mg17Al12 has a large influence on mechanical properties. Isolated particles of b-phase in squeeze cast components are less detrimental to ductility […]]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4739/microstructure-and-mechanical-properties-of-squeeze-cast/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4737/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2002/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4737/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2002/#respond Sat, 12 Mar 2005 21:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2002/ ]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4737/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2002/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4736/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2000/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4736/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2000/#respond Sat, 12 Mar 2005 20:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2000/ ]]> https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4736/atti-del-convegno-zinc-diecasting-day-2000/feed/ 0 https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4730/measured-sf6-emissions-from-magnesium-die-casting-operations/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4730/measured-sf6-emissions-from-magnesium-die-casting-operations/#respond Sat, 12 Mar 2005 13:00:00 +0000 http://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/measured-sf6-emissions-from-magnesium-die-casting-operations/ https://www.carbodydesign.com/pub/4730/measured-sf6-emissions-from-magnesium-die-casting-operations/feed/ 0
