Flexible forming facility for low cost light weight applications

适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弯成型设备。该设备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，并研究它们在各种加载条件下的材料行为。这项技术代表着商业加工的一步变化，具有形成高强度和有限延展性的材料的能力。这将导致制造新的先进材料的新技术的发展，包括用于汽车和航空航天应用的先进高强度钢、复合材料、纳米结构金属和轻金属合金。

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.
