Watch this session to discover the groundbreaking Multi Parts Integration concept developed by ArcelorMittal Global R&D and Tailored Blanks.

Multi Part Integration (MPI) is designed to incorporate many parts into one laser welded blank (LWB). MPI uses press hardenable steels (PHS) and hot stamping LWB technology to create the single part. The goal is to simplify production for OEMs.

In this session you will learn more about the simplified production process with multiple benefits for carmakers, including:

• Radical simplification of the vehicle production process
• One common and modular solution for multiple powertrains
• Enhanced crash management
• Considerable sustainability gains including a lighter finished vehicle
• Potential cost savings of up to ten percent

The presenters, Jessé Paegle and Joël Wilsius will also zoom in on the benefits of using MPI as one modular solution which can be developed for multiple powertrains. The part shape and distribution of material is similar for every powertrain. Patches can be applied to the part to add reinforcement for a specific powertrain without increasing costs.

To help prove the practical viability of the MPI concept, teams from ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks and ArcelorMittal Global R&D have completed several studies to determine how MPI can be applied to different parts. The results of these studies will be discussed in detail in this webinar.
