Tailor welded steel reinforcements: IFFRecent Research Landscape

Vehicle structural integrity is compromised by excessive weight and inconsistent crash energy absorption. These innovations utilize localized material thickness and alloy variation to optimize the strength-to-weight ratio in battery trays and chassis components.

What technical problems is IFF addressing in Tailor welded steel reinforcements?

Premature edge fracture

(4)evidences

Material failure occurs at the edges during high-strain forming processes. Preventing this localized structural compromise ensures the integrity of vehicle safety reinforcements.

Cable fatigue and signal attenuation

(3)evidences

Standard battery trays suffer from insufficient crashworthiness and excessive weight. Improving structural rigidity while maintaining lightweighting targets prevents catastrophic battery failure during impact.
