Abstract
The aim of this project is to determine the technical viability of the bodywork manufacturing process using the blow-forming technology. Specifically, the blow-forming technology has been studied to be applied to manufacture the A-pillar. The results of using this technology reveal the following:
- Weight and CO2 reduction due to the fact that this technology makes it possible to use thinner high strength steel.
- Passengers‘ safety improvement.
- Improvement of the driver‘s sight angle as a result of the smaller section of the A-pillar.
- Reduction of manufacturing costs.
- Reduction of the number of components of the A-pillar.
During the development stage, the following results are also achieved:
- Harden material above 1.500 MPa.
- Up to 20% of A-pillar weight reduction.
- Utilization of material by 95% vs 40% of current use.
- Component number reduction.
Results suggest that the application of the blow-forming technology to manufacture the A-pillar is technically viable and complies with the geometric and manufacturing requirements
