The factors behind these choices comprise some of the key technological and design issues facing automotive engineers today. Materials for Automobile Bodies presents detailed up-to-date information on material technologies for the automobile industry, embracing steels (including high-strength steels) aluminium, plastics, magnesium, hydro-forming and composite body panels. Coverage also includes: materials processing; formability; welding and joining; anti-corrosion technologies; plus a comprehensive consideration of the implications of materials selection on these processes. Dealing with the whole assembly process from raw material to production, right through to recycling at the end of a vehicle's life, this book is the essential resource for practising engineers, designers, analysts and students involved in the design and specification of motor vehicle bodies and components. * Up-to-date information on contemporary autobody materials * International case studies, examples and terminology * Fully illustrated throughout, with examples from Honda, Ferrari, Lotus, BMW and Audi 533 $aElectronic reproduction.$bAmsterdam :$cElsevier Science & Technology,$d2007.$nMode of access: World Wide Web.$nSystem requirements: Web browser.$nTitle from title screen (viewed on Aug. 2, 2007).$nAccess may be restricted to users at subscribing institutions 650 0$aAutomobiles$xBodies$xMaterials 650 6$aAutomobiles$xCarrosseries$xMatériaux 655 7$aElectronic books.$2local 776 1 $cOriginal$z0750656921$z9780750656924$w(DLC) 2003048187$w(OCoLC)52058253 856 40$3Referex$uhttp://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780750656924$zAn electronic book accessible through the World Wide Web; click for information 856 42$zPublisher description$uhttp://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/description/els031/2003048187.html 856 41$zTable of contents$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/toc/els031/2003048187.html 907 $a.b13653428$b03-03-22$c24-01-08 912 $a991003237849707536 996 $aMaterials for automobile bodies$91092713 997 $aUNISALENTO 998 $ale026$b24-01-08$cm$d@ $e-$feng$gne $h0$i0
