TECH FOCUS:
MATERIALS
Advanced Materials Development Corp.
The title of Vartanov's 2021 AeroTech presentation was High Strength
Corrosion Resistant Steel for Aircraft Landing Gears and Structures.
Roger Eybel of SAFRAN and Ronald Weddle of
Weddle Consulting. The technical program for SAE's
main automotive conference, WCX, is being finalized.
SAE magazine articles
The editors of SAE Media Group's magazines https://
www.sae.org/publications/magazines) keep up with
trends in all aspects of mobility engineering, including
materials.
Every year, Altair holds a contest for the best lightweighting
solutions. In this article, editor Ryan Gehm
talks about the winners in six unique categories.
ArcelorMittal won the Lightweighting Enabling
Technology category for its Fortiform 980GI Gen3
advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) that
offers the ductility of DP600 at the
higher strength level of 980 MPa.
Application launch of this grade in
production vehicles commenced in
January 2021, offering potential
weight savings of up to 20%.
Physical tests and
simulation studies by
ArcelorMittal
demonstrate that
energy-absorption
parts like front and rear
rails, which currently are
UPDATE
most-commonly designed using
DP600, can be downgauged by
20% while achieving the same
energy-absorption levels .
Fortiform 980GI is engineered to
resist liquid metal embrittlement
(LME), a big challenge during
welding zinc-coated products .
Publications
The SAE International Journal of
Materials and Manufacturing
publishes peer-reviewed,
authoritative, and in-depth
research in the areas of
materials, design, testing, and
manufacturing. In addition to
analytical findings, the journal
addresses integration and
implementation of scientific and
Vehicle
