Hot forming is the go-to process for manufacturing lightweight, impact-resistant components for the automotive industry. We took a Volkswagen factory tour in Kassel.
Volkswagen is considered one of the pioneers of steel automotive construction. There are numerous strong reasons in favor of the material: First and foremost is its potential as a cost-effective material for lightweight construction. Steel’s long history and fail-safe processes are also important, allowing for solid, reliable processing – and ultimately, steel can be recycled without loss of quality.
