A roll-forming process for the manufacture of a structural member can be used in the manufacture of an automotive vehicle. The roll-forming process creates a component that has multiple cells with an integral internal web separating the cells, enhancing the strength, rigidity and stiffness of the component for any given size and shape. The roll-forming process starts with a piece of sheet metal and rolls the sheet metal into a desired shape and then rolls the tube back over on itself to create a second cell with the internal reinforcing web positioned between two structural cells of the beam. The rolled form is then welded into the formed shape to create the structural beam. The two cells of the beam can be the same general size or be formed as completely disparate sizes, depending on the design requirements of the structural member.

In one embodiment, data identifying a plurality of structural stud members for making the truss is generated. The data includes data for each stud including physical stud parameters and one or more locations for an alignment guide where another member is to connect with it. A roll forming machine is controlled with the generated data to produce the plurality of stud members whereby the roll forming machine applies one or more alignment guides onto each member based on locations identified in the generated data. Finally, after all or some of the stud members are formed, the members are assembled to form the truss using the alignment guides to align connecting members with each other in order to fasten them together.

A process produces a welded seamless PIPE having good yield strength and excellent corrosion and/or erosion resistance. Up to a maximum outside diameter corrosion and/or erosion resistant CRA PIPE is cold worked from a welded hollow, rather than using the traditional seamless pierced hollow method. A high-speed roll-forming mill is also utilized, rather than using the slow traditional break press to form the welded hollow. Welded hollow dimensions can be achieved which comply with the method of cold working's capability to produce the yield strengths and dimensional tolerances required to meet the service criteria of the PIPE's intended application.
