Benteler Aluminium Systems Norway As

benteler automotive not only develops lightweight construction products for diverse applications in the automotive industry, but also relies on the enhancement of its competencies in the areas of process development, manufacturing technologies, and materials. the structural parts demonstrate the special significance of changing market requirements because this is where about 40 percent of the mass of a passenger car is located. thus for many years we have used high-strength, cold-formed multi-phase steels and ultra-high-strength, hot-formed boron steels, among other materials. by omitting stiffening plates we are able to reduced wall thicknesses and the number of components. this significantly lowers the weight without impairing reliably high performance in the event of a crash. high-strength aluminum materials are of increasing interest for use in aluminum press parts for body applications. to increase the formability, we have expanded our hot-forming competences by adding newly d
