Advanced aluminium light-weighting technology for electric vehicles and aircraft. HFQ Technology comprises unique process tec ... hnology supported by sophisticated forming simulation software that is made available as global standard to OEMs and tiers. HFQ technology enables extremely complex aluminium parts to be formed in a single press operation, whilst achieving high levels of strength in the finished part using standard grades of aluminium. The multiple benefits enabled by the HFQ Technology means that the process is being adopted across a vast range of applications and markets, from automotive to architectural pressings. Automotive Pressed parts requiring high strength (for light-weighting), part integration (for cost reduction), deep/complex form, zero springback, tight radii, stable mechanical properties and reduced process operations are enabled by HFQ. Such parts include A/B Pillars, Structural Door Rings, Roof Structures, Cross Members, Sills, Floors, Bumper Beams, Door Inners and Inner Reinforcements, Tailgate Inners, Rear Quarter Inners, Bulkheads, Lamp Cans, Drain Channels, Battery Boxes and many more. Aerospace HFQ Technology enables the fast and cost-effective manufacture of a wide range of aerospace applications, by replacing multi-piece pressed/machined parts and assemblies. These include Seat Structures and Armrests, Belly Fairings, Lip Skins, Winglets, Engine Nacelles and Aircraft Interiors. Ground Transportation HFQ technology is ideally suited for rail applications, to enable cost-effective light-weighting, part integration and fire resistance. Applications include Intermediate Ends, Cab Structures, Window Surrounds and a range of Interior panels and Structures.
