  • A team of researchers from Seoul National University of Science and Technology has uncovered a promising method to enhance the strength and durability of joints in lightweight vehicle design. By exploring laser surface texturing (LST) techniques on galvannealed advanced high-strength steel (AHSS),

The article from MSN discusses how laser surface texturing (LST) can significantly enhance the design of lightweight vehicles, thereby reducing emissions. LST involves using lasers to create micro or nano-scale patterns on material surfaces, which can improve properties like friction, wear resistance, and lubrication. This technology allows for the use of lighter materials without compromising on performance or durability, which is crucial for automotive applications where weight reduction directly correlates with fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. The article highlights that LST can be applied to engine components, bearings, and other parts to reduce friction and wear, leading to more efficient engines and longer-lasting parts. This innovation not only supports the automotive industry's push towards sustainability but also offers economic benefits through reduced maintenance and increased part longevity.
