20120318415 | SIDE RAIL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HOT-FORMED AND PRESS-HARDENED SIDE RAIL - A side rail and to a method for producing a side rail are disclosed. The side rail has a region of a first type and a region of a second type which have mutually different strengths. A transition region having a width of less than 50 mm is formed between the two regions. The side rail has in the region of the first type a bainitic structure and in the region of the second type a martensitic structure. | 12-20-2012 |
20130228992 | AXEL SUSPENSION WITH LONGITUDINAL LEAF SPRING FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - An axle suspension for a motor vehicle includes a longitudinal leaf spring made of fiber composite and having ends coupled to the motor vehicle. The leaf spring has an attachment zone and two arms which extend from the attachment zone to the ends of the leaf spring to define a trailing arm and a leading arm in a travel direction of the motor vehicle, with the trailing arm having a cross sectional dimension which is greater than a cross sectional dimension of the leading arm. A clamping device couples an axle component to the leaf spring substantially in midsection of the leaf spring and is arranged offset in longitudinal direction from the midsection of the leaf spring. | 09-05-2013 |

20120090741 | METHOD FOR PRODUCING A HOT-FORMED AND PRESS-HARDENED METAL COMPONENT - The present invention relates to a method for producing a hot-formed and press-hardened metal component for an automobile having at least two regions of different hardness. A hardenable sheet-metal blank is heated to at least an austenizing temperature and a first region of the sheet-metal blank is intermediately cooled at a cooling speed greater than the lower critical cooling speed of the material of the sheet-metal blank. The sheet-metal blank is then hot-formed and press-hardened in a press-hardening tool by quenching the first region from a bainitic structure transformation stage, thereby adjusting a mixed structure of martensite and bainite in the first region. | 04-19-2012 |
