Reducing automobile weight has been necessarily accelerated to save energy and improve drivability. Accordingly, use of high strength steel and hollow sections help in weight reduction. In this study, the effect of trapped oil has been investigated to improve the metal flow in upsetting of a hollow workpiece using no mandrel. It was found that the ideal deformation without friction between the dies and the workpiece was nearly achieved when a low and thick ring with trapped oil was upset. The inner diameter of the oil-filled ring was expanded more than that of the benchmark ring. The effect of the expansion of the ring and the reduction of the friction proved helpful in trial forming of a gear preform.

Sophisticated materials like high strength steel or even multi phase steel as well as aluminum require more efforts within the manufacturing process than conventional steel sheets as they have been used in the body in white recently. The manufacturing process itself as well as engineering of the parts, material of the forming tools as well as cold and warm joining technologies must be regarded separately. For forming tools coated steel inserts or sometimes even cooling is essential in terms of high-volume car series production. In mixed material solutions using steel in combination with aluminum, the common used resistance spot welding process does not work any more. To maintain high process stability of cold joining technologies combined with adhesive bonding a new process must have been developed. Other items for weight and cost savings are tailored rolled blanks or sophisticated joining technologies. Regarding the manufacturing costs, a cost effective combination of the mentioned high-sophisticated alloys with conventional material should be achieved. Developing a design concept due to crash, stiffness and driving performance, basic requirements have to be considered. This aims to check the high potential of cost intensive materials wherever high functional benefit is necessary under commercial aspects.

In this study, research was conducted on the development of Ring-Net, a major component of the Ring-Net System for the localization of a high-level debris-flow barrier, which is fully applied with foreign technology. Ring-Net was constructed using the 2,040 MPa class high-strength steel wire with a 2.8 mm diameter,. Its performance was verified through simulation and a 3-Ring Test (ETAG 027). As a result, the 3-Ring breaking load of 7-19/2.8/300 Ring-Net was analyzed to be 79.8-329.0 kN. The 3-Ring energy dissipating capacity was 2.9-8.7 kJ, which is equivalent to the performance of the Ring-Net made of 1,770 MPa class wires with a 3.0 mm diameter. However, since it can be manufactured with a 13% weight reduction compared to the existing technology, it is believed to be advantageous for lightening the high-level Rockfall & Debris Barrier and improving its construction capability.

This paper presents the ballistic performance of the joining lightweight metal laminated panel consists of high strength steel and aluminium alloy for armoured vehicle application. Composite laminates trend in military industry present excellent performance in terms of lightweight material due to the improvement vehicle manoeuvrability, without sacrificing the performance and safety. The combination of   aluminium plate and high strength steel offer the good potential for reducing the vehicle weight and improving the ballistic resistance. Ar500 and Al7075-T6 were chosen in designing laminated panel to achieve intended 20-30% weight reduction. Joining between these two materials have been investigated using both brazing method and adhesive bonding method. The adhesive bonding involved two types of material which is epoxy and polyurethane. Mechanical tests such as bending tests, drop weight tests and ballistic tests were performed to assess the strength of the laminated panel. Results showed that polyurethane bonded laminate panel through adhesion process exhibited 75% higher strength that that through the brazing process after performing impact test. Meanwhile, the penetration patterns found numerically are nearly similar to that from the ballistic tests and thus has validated the finite element models developed. The study on application of this laminated plate shall be extended using higher level of threat for hard armour vehicle panel.
