The selection of automobile body materials is fundamental to the
choice of fabrication method, and the characteristics and
performance of the final vehicle or component. The factors behind
these choices comprise some of the key technological and design
issues facing automotive engineers today. Materials for Automobile
Bodies brings together a wealth of information on automotive
materials and material technologies to provide designers and
vehicle body engineers with both a solid grounding and a quick
reference to inform their material choices. Coverage includes
materials processing, formability, welding and joining,
anti-corrosion technologies, plus a comprehensive consideration of
the implications of materials selection on these processes.
Dealing with the whole assembly process from raw material to
production, right through to recycling at the end of a vehicle's
life, this book is the essential resource for practising engineers,
designers, analysts and students involved in the design and
specification of motor vehicle bodies and components.
Up-to-datedetailed information on contemporary autobody materials,
incorporating the explanation often lacking in other data-focused
resourcesIncludes informative and insightful case studies on the
materials and processing choices of major OEMs, including Honda,
BMW and AudiNow with more on geographical supply and usage trends,
environmental concerns and end of life disassembly considerations,
and how these affect selection choices"
