New steels for construction and automobiles

Modern technologies require new materials - lightweight and durable, with unique characteristics. And the steel industry has a lot to offer. They are mainly developed for the automotive industry in order to reduce CO2 emissions.

Innovation in materials isn't just about composites, nano materials, resins or plastics. They are also applicable to steel, depending on the alloying addition and production, they can provide different properties.

The weight loss drive of the automotive industry is very influencing on innovation in the metals industry. A lighter vehicle has lower fuel consumption and thus lower carbon dioxide emissions.

All manufacturers strive to reduce vehicle weight, which is more difficult. These standards and the growing expectations of customers who value comfort are the driving force behind the development of new steels.

Stainless steel plays an important role in the construction industry and is expected to expand the use of new types of steel.
