Vehicle bumper beam and method of fabricating the same

摘要

A bumper beam for a vehicle bumper, having a base beam preferably made of an extruded aluminum alloy, and an impact beam attached to an outer surface of the base beam with these members joined together by sliding engagement in an axial direction of the base beam. The bumper beam and the impact beam can be made of straight linear members each having a relatively small cross sectional area. In particular, the base beam may have a pair of vertically spaced identical members extending in a mutually parallel relationship which are joined together by the impact beam.
