Gas metal arc welding (GMAW) - Pulsed welding of AHSS

Advanced high strength steels (AHSS) are being used in the automotive industry to reduce vehicle weight and maintain structural integrity. When compared to current conventional high-strength low alloy (HSLA) steels, AHSS have comparable formability at a higher strength. This allows an overall reduction in sheet steel thickness to retain the same load requirements, which in turn reduces the weight and helps improve the fuel efficiency of the vehicle.
