摘要：

Due to more demanding requirements of car occupants in relation to comfort and safety enhancing measures, the weight of cars has been increasing, and as a result additional difficulties have been encountered in making lighter cars. In the development of every new car there is a search for new ways to combine the demands of the customers with reducing the weight of new cars. Further progress in optimizing steel body design can only take place gradually. Reinforced steel or tailored blanks are already in common use today. Even further reductions can be achieved by design in aluminium, magnesium or plastics. At Daimler-Benz, for example the hard-top of the SL-sports-car is made of aluminium and the petrol tank partition panel of the SLK-roadster is made of die-cast magnesium. Lightweight design and, consequently, fuel saving will only be successfully realized, if proper materials are selected for appropriate parts. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
