Body components that are ideally suited for roll-forming.
Roll Forming takes a flat sheet or strip and feeds it longitudinally through a mill containing several successive paired roller dies, each of which incrementally bend the strip into the desired final shape. The incremental approach can minimize strain localization and compensate for springback. Therefore, roll forming is well suited for generating many complex shapes from Advanced High-Strength Steels, especially from those grades with low total elongation such as martensitic steel. This month’s blog, written by Dr. Daniel Schaeffler, takes an in-depth look at this steel processing technology. Read the blog article here >>>
