STK01123: Steel’s Role in Future Mobility

Mobility Service Providers seek to provide transportation services that meet customers’ needs for comfort, reliability, safety, and connectivity. Future Mobility will be defined by unique powertrains, technologies and architectures that ensure these attributes are met – and there are materials challenges and trade-offs in these designs.

APP0105: AHSS Implementation: Liquid Metal Embrittlement

In order to join the different parts of a car body and create the crash structure, the components are usually welded to achieve a reliable connection. The most prominent welding process in automotive production is resistance spot welding. There are, however, challenges to guarantee a high-quality weld when new material grades are introduced.

SUS01012: Introduction to LCA

This course, Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment, introduces the methodology to analyse the environmental burdens of product and service systems. Prof Dr. Matthias Finkbeiner guides you in exploring life cycle assessment (LCA) through the use of instructional videos.

APP01012: Automotive

The automotive course is part of the steel applications courses. In this course you will explore the different parts of a car and learn about the characteristics of each part, the characteristics of advanced low carbon steel, and high strength steel (cold and hot rolled) and how it compares to other steels.

Advanced High-Strength Steel Application Guidelines: What’s New

For more than twenty years, WorldAutoSteel’s Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) Application Guidelines have served as a trusted technical reference for engineers, researchers, and designers involved in vehicle design and manufacture. The guidelines provide comprehensive information on AHSS metallurgy, forming, joining, and welding, supporting innovation in automotive performance, safety, and sustainability.

Managing Liquid Metal Embrittlement in Real-World Applications

Understanding Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) in Advanced High Strength Steel Components

Liquid Metal Embrittlement (LME) surface cracks may develop during resistance spot welding in advanced high-strength steels used in automotive bodies. While LME mechanisms are well-documented for academic, single-spot samples, there is limited data on production-scale components.
