ResumoAdvanced high-strength steels (AHSS) developed and commercialized in the past decade are designed to help automotive companies meet light-weight requirements without compromising occupant safety requirements. These steel grades are expected to dominate the material share in automobiles, especially in body-in-white applications, in the foreseeable future. These steels have an excellent combination of high strength and ductility, and hence are formable. AHSS grades require special considerations and an understanding of their welding behaviour for successful implementation in automotive construction. This chapter provides an overview of the common types of AHSS grades in current commercial use and the various joining techniques used in the automotive industry.
