Abstract: A reinforcement beam for an automotive component is continuously formed with a metal sheet that is roll formed to have at least one tubular portion that extends along a length of the reinforcement beam. A solid state forge weld is formed between an edge of the metal sheet and an intermediate portion of the metal sheet to close a seam that extends along the tubular portion of the reinforcement beam. Prior to forming the solid state forge weld, select portions of the metal sheet are heated to a desirable welding temperature with a high frequency current delivered by electrical contacts to opposing sides of the weld seam. The desired welding temperature may burn off a galvanized coating on the metal sheet at the select portions prior to forming the solid state forge weld that is generally void of zinc inclusions.

Abstract: A vehicle beam assembly includes a hollow tubular member configured to be formed with steel tube air forming. The tubular member includes a varied cross section along a length of the tubular member. For example, the hollow tubular member includes a center portion having a first cross-sectional shape, a pair of end portions that extend past corresponding crush cans in a direction away from the center portion, where the pair of end portions extend at an angle of 40-70 degrees, and at least one transition portion disposed between the center portion and one of the pair of end portions. A cross-sectional shape of the center portion, a cross sectional shape of one of the end portions, and a cross-sectional shape of the transition portion are all different cross-sectional shapes.

Abstract: A vehicle rocker assembly includes an outer sill member and an inner sill member attached longitudinally along the outer sill member to define a hollow space along and between the inner and outer sill members. A tubular insert is disposed in the hollow space so as to extend longitudinally along the hollow space. The tubular insert has a crush control feature extending longitudinally along a wall of the tubular insert, such as upper and lower walls at opposing sides of the interior volume. The tubular insert is configured for side impact forces at the outer sill member to laterally deform the tubular insert at the crush control feature to provide an accordion-style lateral crush to absorb the side impact forces.

Abstract: A reinforcement beam is roll formed from a metal sheet for use in a vehicle bumper system. The reinforcement beam includes adjacent tubes having a common center wall and lateral portions extending from opposing sides of the common center wall that are roll formed simultaneously in the same rotational direction to enclose interior volumes of the adjacent tubes and to define top and bottom walls and front and rear wall of the reinforcement beam. The front walls of the adjacent tubes each include a channel rib depressed into the interior volume of the respective adjacent tube longitudinally along the reinforcement beam for stiffening the respective front wall. A weld is formed separately in each of the seams between the front walls and between the rear walls, thereby defining a crevice rib between the channel ribs to improve the bending strength and torsional strength of the reinforcement beam.

Abstract: A bumper reinforcement beam includes a beam having a length and mounts at ends of the beam and cross sectional shapes at various locations along the length, including a first cross sectional shape near ends of the beam providing a first bending moment and a second cross sectional shape at a center of the beam providing a second bending moment different than the first bending moment, and further including intermediate cross sectional shapes between the ends and center having intermediate bending moments between the first and second bending moments. The cross sections may define open C-shapes or may include a tubular shape.

Abstract: A multi-sheet beam includes sheets pre-shaped and/or pre-formed to have integral features and to cause a final beam shape with non-radiused corners and optimal impact properties when assembled, including beams with constant or varied cross sectional shapes. The non-radiused corners offer excellent impact strength over radiused corners. The sheets are selected to have desired (different) thicknesses and material properties for optimal impact results and low beam weight. To assemble, the sheets are fixtured together and welded to form box beam, such as a two-tube monoleg beam, preferably using welding processes having low heat-affected-zones around the weld. The multiple sheets can include grades of aluminum with high tensile strength well above extrudable grades of aluminum. Alternatively, the multiple sheets can be any grade of steel, such as high strength and ultra high strength steels. The fixturing and assembly technique minimizes capital expense on extruding machines and/or roll forming machines.

Abstract: A co-molding process includes molding a body between a “common cavity” and “first shot core” die halves, co-molding a soft plastic onto the first component to form a final part using the “common cavity” die half and a “second shot core” die half. The “second shot core” die half includes shallow formations forming expansion locks along an elongated edge of the final part on a non-show concave surface, the locks having a shallow depth and extending in a direction non-parallel a die pull direction such that the locks affirmatively prevent shifting of first component during the co-molding process. Also, the locks can be made to cause the final part to remain with the “second shot core” die half when dies are opened during a final step of the co-molding process.
