Among the manufacturers of steel, few will survive for the automobile sector

The international rating agency said that new strict requirements for the effectiveness of the targeted indicators of automobile fuel in Europe and the USA will most likely lead to a decrease in sales for steel companies. Since this gives rise to demand only for light, strong steel of those manufacturers who have resources for investing products developing, which make it possible to facilitate the heavy structural parts of the cars.

The metallurgists will have to make lighter steel without compromising for strength or safety in order to win in competition from alternative materials.

Arcelor Mittal proved that it is possible to make high -strength steel, the so -called third generation, which will be up to 27 percent easier than modern classes, maintaining such strength. Reducing weight to such a scale implies a similar drop in the volume of steel consumed in the automotive industry, although there is hope for increasing the production of cars that are constantly growing demand from developing markets.

Experts believe that the AreClor Mittal or Posco (South Korea) is ready for changes, since they are able to invest new developments and have close partnerships with global automakers. New steels will be sold more expensive than existing standard steel classes. ARECLOR MITTAL has developed a usibor steel, representing a hardened alloy with aluminum-cream coating.

Automobile manufacturers are already designing the next generation of 2017 - 2020 with reduced weight, which will allow you to observe fuel efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions by one kilometer to 95 grams by 2020, followed by a decrease in a kilometer of run by 2025.
