Flexible forming facility for low cost light weight applications

用于低成本轻量化应用的柔性成型设备：该项目将建立澳大利亚第一个柔性辊轧成型设备。该设施将是世界上独一无二的，专门设计用于将最先进的高强度合金轧制成复杂的三维形状，并研究其在各种载荷条件下的材料行为。该技术代表了商业加工的一个步骤，并有能力形成具有高强度和有限延展性的材料。这将导致新技术的发展，用于制造新的先进材料，包括先进的高强度钢，复合材料，纳米结构金属和轻金属合金，用于汽车和航空航天应用。

Flexible forming facility for low-cost light-weight applications: This project will establish Australia’s first flexible roll forming facility. The facility will be unique in the world, being specifically designed to roll form the most advanced high strength alloys into complex three-dimensional shapes and investigate their material behaviour under a wide range of loading conditions. This technology represents a step change in commercial processing and has the capacity to form materials with high strength and limited ductility. This will lead to the development of new techniques for the manufacture of new advanced materials including advanced high strength steels, composites, nano structured metals and light metal alloys for automotive and aerospace applications.
