Load-bearing element made of thin high-strength sheet steel using localized laser hardening (laser peening) under bending loads from an experimental collision

Load-bearing element made of thin high-strength sheet steel using localized laser hardening (laser peening) under bending loads in a simulated collision
- localized hardening of sheet steel components in areas subject to high stresses using laser hardening (laser peening) and laser remelting
- development of a component design with suitable load capacity with the goals of:
- increasing the absorption of crash energy
- controlling the failure behavior
