With ASF (Audi Space Frame) technology, Audi has completely reinvented the body construction using aluminum as a material and a concept adapted to light metal. ASF technology has undergone developments that efficiently exploit the knowledge accumulated from the efficient use of aluminum alloys, the optimization of casting and profiling processes, to the most appropriate techniques for joining components. The paper analyzes the main technical and technological developments adopted by Audi in designing and manufacturing the aluminum space frame for the car body.
