Temperbox® technology for the bodies of the future

Temperbox® technology is an advanced method of forming metal body components. The technology makes it possible to specifically influence and optimize the mechanical properties of body parts in order to meet increasing requirements for safety, weight savings and energy efficiency. GEDIA is successfully using this technology.

The core of the Temperbox ® technology is the controlled heating of component areas in the press hardening process. With this patented process, GEDIA offers new possibilities for equipping body structural parts with different strength zones even more flexibly and precisely. The part blank is heated to approx. 950 C in the first oven. It is then transported to a second oven, the TemperBox ®. By means of cover templates, different temperature areas are set in the blank. The blank is then transported into the die, formed and cooled. The result is different hardness zones in one component, separated by narrow transition areas.

Temperbox ® technology is a major advance in body construction, which enables GEDIA to meet the high demands of modern vehicles.
With the Temperbox®, GEDIA is ready for the cars of the future.
Reduced WeightAdjusting material properties makes body components lighter without compromising performance. This helps to reduce vehicle weight and improve energy efficiency.
Increased safetyHarder, stronger body parts improve occupant protection in the event of an accident. Temperbox ® technology can provide targetted reinforcement to particulary critical areas of the vehicle structure.
FlexibilityThe ability to create and control different temperature zones makes it possible to combine different strengths in a single component.
