Is it possible to increase product safety and reduce weight at the same time? 🚘🍃 Perhaps that sounds like an impossible undertaking at first, doesn't it? But when it comes to ensuring the highest customer requirements, lightweight construction must coexist with safety! Because you expect maximum crash safety, durability and low fuel consumption from your vehicle, with good reason. This is why ultra-high strength grades of steel (up to 1000 Mpa) are formed into safety-relevant chassis components, at BENTELER. In the production of extruded aluminum control arms, such as spring control arms, we use the so-called stretch-bending process. This allows the weight to be reduced by up to 35%, with up to 50% higher stiffness compared to conventional materials. #AboutTheDetail – considering BENTELER produces 14 million control arms, links and knuckles every year, this makes a real difference.
