Automotive strip steels

Q4: Forming

  4 of 7
 
Question What forming route and formability parameter are used when producing an automotive body panel such as a car bonnet?

 

Red cross Deep drawing and value - incorrect, deep drawing is used to produce cans and the value is used in association with deep drawing as a measure of how suitable the steel sheet is to deep drawing. Try again.

Red cross Stretch forming and value - incorrect, whilst stretch forming is used to produce automotive body panels the value is used in association with deep drawing. Try again.

Red cross Deep drawing and n value - incorrect, deep drawing is used to produce cans and the n value is used in association with stretch forming. Try again.

Green tick Stretch forming and n value - correct.

Red cross Try again.

Red cross Try again.

The 3 most important properties for an automotive body panel are:

Corrosion Resistance
Formability
Cost


Typical yield strength level for a family saloon car panel (roof or wing) is: 150 - 250 MPa (more accurately 200 MPa)


A suitable coating for a family saloon car panel (wing panel) is:

Hot-Dip Iron-Zinc Alloy Coated Steel (Galvannealed Steel)


Forming route and formability parameter used when producing a car body panel: Stretch forming and n value
