Abstract

Lightweight is a trend of new vehicle development, driven by government regulations, environmental concerns, and customer needs. A major effort in the automotive industry is on light weighting vehicle bodies. This chapter reviews the various materials, their characteristics, weight reduction potentials, and costs for light weighting vehicle bodies. The chapter also exams the joining technologies on their principles, applications for the lightweight materials, and influencing factors for choosing a joining process. Furthermore, this chapter discusses the development trends of material selection and joining technology applications.
