Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A column for a motor vehicle body shell structure and a method for producing the same is disclosed. The column includes a column body which has a first material in a first region and a second material in a second region, where the second region is a reinforcement region. The first region is produced by forging and the reinforcement region is formed by a reinforcement insert and/or a reinforcement core and is forged into, reforged in, forged to, or formed on the first region.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 - 10 . (canceled) 11 . A column for a motor vehicle body shell structure, comprising: a column body which includes a first material in a first region and a second material in a second region, wherein the second region is a reinforcement region; wherein the first region is produced by forging and the reinforcement region is a reinforcement insert and/or a reinforcement core and is forged into, reforged in, forged to, or formed on the first region. 12 . The column according to claim 11 , wherein the first material is a light metal or a light metal alloy. 13 . The column according to claim 11 , wherein the second material is steel, a light metal or a light metal alloy or a fiber-reinforced plastic. 14 . The column according to claim 11 , further comprising an additional second region wherein the additional second region is a functional region. 15 . The column according to claim 11 , wherein the column is an A-column, a B-column, or a C-column. 16 . The column according to claim 11 , wherein a connection node is formed in one piece with the column body and wherein the column body is connectable to a motor vehicle body shell structure by the connection node. 17 . A motor vehicle body shell structure comprising a column according to claim 11 . 18 . A method for producing a column for a motor vehicle body shell structure, wherein a column body includes a first material in a first region and a second material in a second region and wherein the second region is a reinforcement region, comprising the steps of: producing the first region by forging and forming the reinforcement region by a reinforcement insert and/or a reinforcement core and wherein the reinforcement region is forged into, reforged in, forged to, or formed on the first region. 19 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein the first material is a light metal or a light metal alloy. 20 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein the second material is steel, a light metal or a light metal alloy or a fiber-reinforced plastic. 21 . The method according to claim 18 , further comprising an additional second region, wherein the additional second region is a functional region, and wherein the additional second region is forged into, reforged in, forged to, or formed on the first region. 22 . The method according to claim 18 , wherein the column is an A-column, a B-column, or a C-column. 23 . The method according to claim 18 , further comprising the steps of forming a connection node in one piece with the column body and connecting the column body to the motor vehicle body shell structure by the connection node.
