Legendary steel company SSAB is working on the new Docol HE series of high-strength flexible steel.

Modern steel will reduce scrap in the automotive industry

The industry needs a lightweight yet durable product, and manufacturers not only reduce the thickness of the sheets, but also combine them with other materials. However, a kilogram of steel costs 5 euros, aluminum 12-15 €, magnesium (for carbon fiber) 26 €.

The market requires a hard alloy that can withstand deformation. The innovative Docol HE can become it within the framework of the famous products of the mentioned brand.

Unlike its predecessor, Docol AHSS, it has a dense microstructure, which prevents the formation of microcracks. When cutting new steel, a very smooth edge is formed. It has proven itself excellently when tested on:

  • hole punching;
  • bendable;
  • deformability.

Docol HE steel comes in handy in the automotive industry in the manufacture of parts with edges, such as the upper suspension arm. Allows to simplify the process of their production and improve the design.
