Sammanfattning
Volvo Cars, a major company in Sweden and Europe, is partnering with Impression
Technologies to develop a key part of the battery tray using a new method called
Hot Form Quenching. This new method could be used for many parts of the vehicle,
helping to reduce weight, improve performance, and move the company closer to its
sustainability goals.
This master thesis aims to explore the process of transforming a component called
footgarage originally developed for High Pressure Die Casting into a sheet metal
component and covering several assessment points like function performance, sustainability,
part price, investment cost, manufacturing process impacts, time to market,
and material base. A comparison between these two concepts will tell if this
new process has a future at Volvo Cars.
