11. Volkswagen AG – Germany Residual stress properties of heat-treated aluminium alloy for high strength lightweight automotive components  Some aluminium alloys require a heat-treatment step for the hardening process  Following heat-treatment, a high level of residual stress is produced which can decrease the lifetime of the component  Simulations have been made to predict the stresses and increase the reliability in the durability prediction  Measurements on on two different types of components from two different branches of VW were be performed by HZG at PETRA III (DESY) to validate the simulations. © Science Link 2012

12. Aluminium alloy sample mounted at HZG beamline HEMS at PETRA III (DESY): Depth resolved residual stress measurements were performed using the conical slit technique. Conical slit cell Cylinder head
