Description
Plenary Lecture -Short Summary: To meet the requirements of energy savings and CO2 emission reductions for transportation vehicles, great efforts have been made over years to reduce the weight of vehicles by replacing the current heavy metal structures with light alloys, such as aluminium and magnesium alloys, or ultra-high strength steels. About 80% vehicle body and chassis components are manufactured using forming technologies. But the common problems for the light alloys or ultra-high strength steels are brittle and difficult to form to complex-shaped structural components. Thus, innovative forming techniques are urgently required to enable high strength light alloys to be formed into complex-shaped engineering components with low costs. Thus innovative forming techniques are required and the corresponding experimental methods are need to be developed to meet the new requirements.
