Reducing the weight of the car plays a major role in this respect. In fact, a reduction in weight means a reduction in fuel…
Sheet metal forming is currently a fundamental manufacturing process, used to produce components for several industrial sectors. Especially under automotive and aerospace driving force, sheet steels with improved mechanical performances are increasingly demanded to meet lightweight and cost reduction targets. However, these innovative materials involve a series of failure risks (cracks, stretching, thinning). Therefore, quality…
