  • Patent number: 11535905
    Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a Q&P steel for production of a formed component (2) for high-wear applications, wherein the Q&P steel has a hardness of at least 230 HB, especially at least 300 HB, preferably at least 370 HB, and a bending angle ? of at least 60°, especially at least 75°, preferably at least 85°, determined to VDA238-100, and/or a bending ratio of r/t<2.5, especially r/t<2.0, preferably r/t<1.5, where t corresponds to the material thickness of the steel and r to the (inner) bending radius of the steel.

  • Patent number: 10894521
    Abstract: A bumper for a vehicle, including at least one profile, in particular an open profile, from a first material, having at least one ribbed structure formed from ribs from a second material, the ribbed structure being disposed along the profile at least in portions and at least in portions being connected to the profile in a force-fitting, form-fitting and/or materially integral manner in order for the profile to be reinforced. The bumper meets the requirements set in the event of collision loads and can be optimized in terms of load is achieved in that the ribbed structure is formed from fiber-reinforced plastic and has at least one first region and one second region, which differ from one another in terms of at least one property.

  • Patent number: 8662576
    Abstract: A body for a motor vehicle and a method for producing a motor vehicle body is provided. Such a body comprises two roof frame longitudinal profiles (6, 14), at least one roof frame cross profile (10) arranged between the roof frame longitudinal profiles (6, 14) and a body pillar (12), wherein in a connecting area (Y) a roof frame longitudinal profile (6; 14), a roof frame cross profile (10) and the body pillar (12) are connected or can be connected together using a mechanical connection. Here the roof frame longitudinal profile (6; 14) comprises a recess (16) in the connecting area (Y), as seen in a longitudinal section of the roof frame longitudinal profile (6; 14), the recess accommodating the roof frame cross profile (10), at least some areas of the circumferential contour of the profile being adapted to match the recess (16).
