【 摘 要 】

Due to increasing competition globally among car manufacturing companies cost optimization is one of the major concerns in the automotive industries right from inception stage to the final product delivery along with maintaining its highest quality. Nowadays, rising demand for concept car, automobiles with latest technology, aesthetics of vehicles with safety concern, high strength and light weight results technological advancement in sheet metal forming and innovative material development like different grades of high strength steels and lightweight aluminium alloys. In 2015 with the initiative of the Imperial College London a research consortium was established under the umbrella Low Cost Materials Processing Technologies for Mass Production of Lightweight Vehicles. The primary aim of this project is to provide affordable low cost weight reduction in mass production of vehicles considering the entire life-cycle. The technological process solution for HFQ™ of Al-alloys is presented which greatly helped in reducing weight and increasing the strength.
