Abstract

The automotive industry is being subjected to increasingly strict fuel economy restraints,
alongside a growing customer demand for improved interiors, advanced safety systems and
state-of-the-art entertainment facilities, all of which result in unnecessary additional weight.

reinforcement to create light-weight automotive components.
