To improve automotive fuel economy while increasing crash resistance, automakers are increasingly using advanced high strength steels (AHSS) for their vehicle designs. AHSS is a broad term for several families of steels that have both high strength and high formability. This combination of properties allows parts to be made thinner and lighter while retaining their ability to form complex shapes needed for automotive parts as well as being able to absorb large amounts of energy in crash situations.
This one day workshop will focus on issues relating to vehicle light-weighting, such as joining, corrosion, and implementation of dissimilar materials. Both academic and industrial speakers will present their latest findings and perspectives on subjects including:
- Friction stir welding
- Corrosion of Mg alloys
- Spot welding of light alloys
- Joining of aluminum to steel
- High productivity arc welding of aluminum
Friction Stir Welding and Processing of High Melting Temperature Alloys
Presented by Prof. Antonio Ramirez, Welding Engineering Program at the Ohio State University

CAMJ alumni at Smarter Alloys one of Canada's success stories
University of Waterloo grad and CAMJ alumni Ibraheem Khan and his startup, Smarter Alloys, are finding success despite a weakening Canadian economy. Smarter Alloys uses its own Multiple Memory Material to precisely control the pseudoelastic and shape memory effect of a shape memory alloy. The company plans to continue growing in the coming months.

Presentation by Dr. Heikki Remes from Aalto University, Helsinki, Finland
Dr. Remes is an assistant professor in Marine Technology, Department of Applied Mechanics, School of Engineering, Alato University, Finland. His talk was centered on the analyses of the performance of large steel structures fabricated from new steels operating in marine environments. Emphases was placed on fatigue and fracture modeling, and notch sensitivity of welded high strength steel marine structures.
