The US discussed the prospects for the use of high -strength steels in the automotive industry

On May second, in livonia, the Seminar was held on advanced development in the field of metallurgical technologies and their use in the automotive industry of the future.

The open seminar was attended by more than 1,400 people, including leading American experts of the automotive industry and metallurgists.

Recent studies, the results of which were published at the event in livonia, prove that advanced technologies allowing to obtain high -strength steel (AHSS) make it possible to reduce the weight of metal structure or parts at the level of aluminum, significantly reducing the cost and increasing the reliability of such products.

“The seminar has given convincing evidence of the current and future growth of use in the automotive industry,” says Lawrence Cavana, president of the Institute for Development of Brand Metallurgy (SMDI). “The potential of steel in weight loss in combination with its environmental friendliness will allow cars with fuel consumption of less than 4 liters per 100 km,” he stressed.

35 different presentations were held about the methods and methods of using high-strength steel when constructing a car, report welding news .

“It is necessary to take into account the unique ability to remain unchanged in the process of secondary processing, its unique chemical and physical properties make it possible to achieve a high level of security and environmental requirements. The role of this material in the future of the automotive industry is difficult to challenge, ”added Cavana.
