Title:
DESIGN FEATURES OF DISSIMILAR MATERIAL-REINFORCED BLANKS AND EXTRUSIONS FOR FORMING
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2019035505
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a method of adding a reinforcement to a metal blank prior to a forming process.SOLUTION: The reinforcement is attached via ultrasonic additive manufacturing (UAM) to create a composite blank, and the composite blank is then subjected to a forming process to bend and deform the composite blank and form a reinforced vehicle component. The reinforcement is placed on the metal blank such that after being subjected to the forming process there is reinforcement in key areas of the formed vehicle component. The reinforcement results in the final formed vehicle component having enhanced properties such as lower density, increased strength, stiffness, or energy absorption capabilities.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1B
