Direct comparisons make it clear.. Based on the model of a mid-size car, our technical experts have simulated a comparison of the steel originally used with ultralights.
The simulation results speak for themselves: Innovative ultralights provide the same crash safety, yet with significantly reduced weight. See the direct comparisons in our SLIMulations. Let your ideas fly when selecting the just the right material.
Professional consultation and material cards
Consult with the technical experts at voestalpine. They will be happy to provide additional information about component comparisons. The material data at voestalpine for forming simulations are available for simulation programs. Characteristic data for crash simulations are available free of charge upon request. Material cards are also available for high-strength steels for calculations in crash solvers such as LS-Dyna, PAM-Crash, Radioss and Abaqus.
Crash tests
Crash tests have been calculated for each component. These tests evaluate the crash safety at the front and rear as well as the roof and side structures of the vehicle.
Best of weight savings
10.09 kg for just a few components made of voestalpine ultralights
Optimized steels for a wide range of applications with ahss classic, ahss high-ductility, martensitic steels and phs-scalefree®
Applications: Side members, door impact members, B pillars, rocker panels and roof frames, crash boxes and bumpers
