Abstract: A housing for a vehicle battery has a cover plate and a bottom plate, and a frame arranged between the cover plate and the bottom plate. The frame is connected to the cover plate and the bottom plate, and at least one crossmember element is arranged in the space which is enclosed by the frame.

Abstract: Methods for producing subassemblies comprised of at least two metal components, at least one of which is comprised of a heat-treatable steel, may involve a number of steps. For example, a thermal joining technique may be employed to join the two metal components at one or more connection points to form the subassembly. One or more regions of the subassembly may then be hardened to cause one or more of the connection points to have at least partially a hardened microstructure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a floor structure for a motor vehicle with accommodating means for at least two energy storage modules, wherein the accommodating means comprise at least two longitudinal members and at least two cross members. In addition the present invention relates to the use of such a floor structure in a vehicle with an electric and/or internal combustion engine. The technical problem of providing a floor structure that in the event of accidents, in particular side impacts, improves the protection of the batteries in floor structures of vehicles without adversely affecting the weight or the costs, is solved in that the accommodating means have at least one deformation zone with defined deformation behavior between the energy storage modules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic field shield for electromagnetic fields, preferably in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 200 kHz, essentially comprising a composite sheet formed from at least three layers arranged one above the other, wherein at least one of the layers is made of electrical steel sheet or electrical steel strip. In order to provide at low cost such a magnetic field shield that has low weight and good shielding effect, it is proposed that at least one of the layers is made of sheet steel and at least one of the layers is made of plastic and/or elastomer, wherein the at least one layer made of plastic and/or elastomer integrally bonds together the at least one layer made of electrical steel sheet/electrical steel strip and the at least one layer made of sheet steel.
