A longitudinal beam for a motor vehicle and also to a method for the production of the longitudinal beam is disclosed. The longitudinal beam is produced from a lightweight metal profile. The extrusion direction of the lightweight metal profile runs transverse to the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beam.

Longitudinal beam and method for the production thereof

A method for producing a lightweight sheet-metal component with varying wall thicknesses includes extruding a lightweight metal to form a profile with a non-planar profile cross section, wherein the wall thicknesses of the profile cross section differ from one another in at least two regions, cutting the profile to length into profile pieces, widening the profile pieces, and forming the flattened profile piece into a three-dimensional shaped sheet-metal component, wherein the sheet-metal component has at least two regions with wall thicknesses that are different from one another.

Method for producing a motor vehicle component from an extruded aluminum profile

A method for producing a motor vehicle component from a light metal alloy includes: extruding an extruded profile with, in cross section, at least two mutually different wall thicknesses and at least one closed hollow chamber and with an extrusion width, at least partially flattening and/or widening the cross section to a processing width, wherein the processing width is greater than the extrusion width, before or after the flattening and/or widening, performing separation to form blanks, processing the blanks by deformation to form the motor vehicle component.

Method for producing a motor vehicle component from an extruded light metal profile

An impact beam and a method of producing the impact beam for a motor vehicle is disclosed. A light metal profile with an extrusion width is produced by flattening the light metal profile to a working width and cutting to length to form semi-finished products. The semi-finished products are subjected to further treatment by press-forming techniques to form the impact beam. The impact beam has a longitudinal length which extends transversely to the direction of extrusion of the light metal profile.

Impact beam and method for producing an impact beam

A cross member for arrangement on a bumper system for a motor vehicle includes a single-piece open profile part made of uniform material and having a U-shaped cross section to define a first opening. The profile part has a curvature directed in a travel direction of the motor vehicle and includes a center zone having a second opening which is configured to point backwards in the travel direction, and end zones which have each an attachment area for a crash box and in which the first opening is configured to point forwards in the travel direction.
