A Numerical Study on Co-Extrusion to Produce Coaxial Aluminum-Steel Compounds with Longitudinal Weld Seams

The use of lightweight materials is one possibility to limit the weight of vehicles and to reduce CO2 emissions. However, the mechanical properties and weight-saving potential of mono-materials are limited. Material compounds can overcome this challenge by combining the advantages of different mater...
