Nippon Steel, a Japanese steel company, announced that an aluminum sheet made of hot-stamped steel of class 2.0 GPa, resistant to hydrogen embrittlement, was used to produce the new ELGRAND car from Nissan Motor.
This product is characterized by a high level of strength, a pressure of about 2000 MPa, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, a form of delayed cracking that can affect ultra-high-strength steels.
High-strength steel selected for use in автомобилестроении
This means that Nippon Steel 2.0 GPa grade aluminum sheet steel, designed for hot stamping, is used in the automotive industry. Hot stamping is a manufacturing process used to manufacture high-strength automotive components by heating steel sheets, forming them, and quenching them in штампах.
Resistance to hydrogen embrittlement is especially important for applications in ultra-high strength steels, where manufacturers must balance the strength of parts and resistance to cracking.
The selection of Nippon Steel products for the new Nissan ELGRAND has expanded the range of the steel company, which offers advanced technologies for the use of steel in the automotive industry.
