 Forming in Car Body Engineering 2012 

Progress in the forming of new materials in car body manufacturing
• Cold and hot forming processes of high and ultra-high strength steel panels
• Application of tailored rolled blanks and tailored welded blanks
• Tailored tempering for complex press hardened parts
• Application of roll profiles
• Bending, blow forming and calibrating extruded aluminium profiles
• Forming, incl. hot-forming, of newly developed high-strength aluminium alloys
• Superplastic forming of aluminium
• Cast aluminium parts in competition to formed extruded profiles
• Industrialised car body part production with FRP compound materials

Efficiency improvements in press plant and toolmaking
• Faster transfer, shorter cycle and tool changing times
• Advanced hot-forming in large volume series
• Faster and more cost-efficient volume series toolmakingn
• Quality control measures in large and small series production
• Rapid tool implementation on tryout presses
• Cost-efficient toolmaking for prototype and small series production
• Concepts for flexible press plant equipment for the small series

Forming simulations - the digital press plant
• Advances in forming simulations and material models and their embedding in the virtual product development process
• CAD-CAX techniques for more efficient toolmaking

Interested speakers are kindly requested to submit their suggested contribution via fax, email or online » to one of the programme coordinators no later than 30 April 2012. In your submission, please provide the name of the speaker, the suggested title of the presentation as well as a short, informal abstract, summarising the practical benefi t and innovation content of the contribution for the advancement of automotive car body part production processes. The submission may be in English or German language.

The final conference programme will be published at the end of June.
