The American Iron and Steel Institute has published the Automotive Steel Design Manual for design engineers and designers of automobile and light truck bodies. The Manual bring together in one volume essential information on sheet steel in the areas of design, materials, and manufacturing, consistent with the current trend toward simultaneous engineering in the automotive industry. The materials and manufacturing sections offer information that will be useful when the design engineer interacts with the materials and manufacturing members of the simultaneous engineering team. The design section will guide in selecting the optimum sheet steel for his application.
