The meeting was held at the Mondragon Unibertsitatea and Elay facilities on 4th and 5th July. The event served to bring together representatives of participating companies such as Teknorot Automotive, Hacettepe University, Mondragon Unibertsitatea and Elay and to review the ongoing work and plan the future actions.

Objective of HeatForm project

HeatForm project, led by Teknorot Automotive, aims at boosting the usage of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) materials in the design and manufacturing of complex shaped parts for the automotive industry without increasing the energy demand of the forming and shearing processes.

The partners of the consortium plan to reach that goal by utilizing the mild temperature softening and ductility increase properties of AHSS. With the development of an in-line heating strategy for fine blanking and forming operations, it is planned to increase efficiency of the technology. Developed technologies will be validated using two different industrial parts.
