As you’re well aware, FORGE publishes six issues a year – now digitally. And I’m sure you’ve visited our website, www.forgemag.com, on a regular basis for news and technical content. But do you know some of the other resources FORGE has to offer?
This fourth article about Germany’s Lightweight Forging Initiative (now with international industry support) focuses on potential weight savings through innovative material selection and forging part and process design. This continuation of the article from June examines additional specific lightweighting opportunities on a hybrid car and a heavy-duty truck.
This third article in a series about Germany’s Lightweight Forging Initiative (begun April 2016) focuses on potential weight savings through innovative material selection and forging part and process design. In this segment, potential weight savings on a hybrid vehicle and heavy-duty truck are considered.

Lightweighting, a term that started in the automobile industry in response to calls to increase automotive energy efficiencies, has taken hold in a big way.
Lightweighting initiatives for automotive and aerospace applications have stimulated interest in magnesium as a forging material. Learn about the advantages and limitations of magnesium and research programs that are under way to find the best way to process and forge it.
This article examines the weight-saving potential in using bimetallic or hollow components on heavy-duty vehicles and the obstacles to their production.
Germany’s Lightweight Forging Initiative continues with its Phase II, in which a light commercial vehicle is dismantled and its appropriate component parts are examined for weight-saving by forging, material selection and design parameters.
