Objective

The excellent mechanical properties and energy absorption shown by stainless steels make them very suitable for use in modern car manufacturing. The objectives of this research project are to supply the designer with technical data on stainless steels, which are already available for other competing materials, in particular specific energy absorption and resistance to deformation, weight reduction and high reliability. Work will include studying and setting up, by means of mathematical models and CAD techniques, several component prototypes in different materials to allow comparative checks of technical and economic feasibility.
