BMW GS 93033 Test Method for Aluminum Materials

BMW GS 93033 Test Method for Aluminum Materials

In the BMW GS 93033 standard, developed by BMW, a multinational vehicle manufacturer company headquartered in Germany, the requirements for aluminum materials used in the production of motor vehicles are defined and test methods are explained.

BMW GS 93033 Test Method for Aluminum Materials

Today, vehicles cause air pollution due to high fuel consumption and this has a direct relationship with increasing vehicle weight. The increase in pollution causes an increase in greenhouse gases that cause great damage to the atmosphere. In this respect, aluminum sheets are now used instead of steel sheets for vehicle body and interior parts in the automotive industry. In this way, it is possible to increase the speed by reducing the weight of the automobile, as well as providing less fuel consumption and less environmental pollution.

Aluminum sheets 5083 and 6061 T6 are used instead of steel sheets in the automotive body. These two groups of aluminum sheet have excellent spot welding. In order for these connections to be successful and error-free, ultrasonic test methods are used to test for welding defects.

Within the scope of the BMW GS 93033 standard, the following are mainly tested:

  • Mechanical strength (during this test also conforms to ISO 6892-1 Metallic materials - Tensile test - Part 1: Test method standard at room temperature)
  • Chemical composition (percent by weight) (during this test also complies with AA-0029 Spark source emission spectroscopy and analysis of steel, aluminum, magnesium, copper and titanium)
  • R value (during this test, ISO 10113 Metallic materials - Sheet and strip - Plastic strain ratio determination standard is also followed)
  • N value (this test also complies with ISO 10275 Metallic materials - Plate and strip - Determination of tensile strain hardening exponent)
  • Prohibited substance (also during this test GS 93008-1 Substances of concern - Complying with the standard for prohibited and declareable substances in materials and components)

The requirements for each test are contained in the BMW GS 93033 standard.

Our organization also provides testing services for aluminum materials used in the production of motor vehicles, within the scope of the BMW GS 93033 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
