Description
One of the attributes of aluminum extrusions that can provide both design flexibility and performance benefits for the automotive engineer is the ability to design profiles that "put the metal where it is needed". That's particularly advantageous when it comes to hollow shapes, particularly multi-void hollows which can be engineered for a combination of crush resistance, strength, light weight and more. This webinar will review some of the more interesting uses of multi-void hollows in today's vehicles, and discuss the alloy, design and processing considerations necessary to ensure success.
