Abstract The ultrasonic metal welding technology is widely promoted as a new connection approach in the field of current energy vehicle wiring harness connection. In the present investigation, low-temperature mechanical properties of slotted and normal terminals were studied. The EVR 25 mm2 copper wires are selected for welding using ultrasonic wire harness welding with two […]
Read MoreABSTRACT Sheet metal forming in the car industry is a highly competitive area. The use of digital techniques and numerical methods are therefore of high interest for reduced costs and lead times. One method for reducing the try-out phase is virtual rework of die surfaces. The virtual rework is based on Finite Element (FE) simulations […]
Read MoreABSTRACT Dual-Phase (DP) steels are today used in the automotive industry due to its large strength to weight ratio. However, the high strength of DP-steel does have a negative impact on the general formability in sheet metal forming. Unfavourable process conditions in the press shop will, on top of this, reduce the formability of DP-steels […]
