Application of ultra high strength steel on the front bumper of the peugeot 607

摘要

Crash resistance objectives lead PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN to use ultra high strength steel for the front bumper of the new Peugeot 607. The use of a specific high strength steel with good quenching properties and a hot stamping process allows PSA PEUGEOT CITROEN to lighten this bumper. Indeed, the weight reduction is more than 2 kg compared to a conventional high strength steel solution.
