• Good crash performance thanks to the work hardening capability of AHSS grades
• Very good formability of Fortiform^® grade provides high performance on curled edges and possibilities for complex designs (‘SF’ indicates the material’s good stretch flangeability)
• AHSS grades are interesting for applications requiring hole expansion: important for tube integration and part connection

Zagnelis^® coatings have been specially designed to add a stage in vehicle corrosion protection, while meeting vehicle manufacturers' specifications: drawing, welding properties etc. In particular, they offer corrosion resistance far superior to that provided by traditional zinc-based coatings. The presence of magnesium in the coating promotes the formation of compact corrosion products highly stable over time, thereby substantially reducing coating consumption dynamics and enhancing edge protection.

Zagnelis^® coatings also offer excellent drawability performance due to outstanding tribological properties for a zinc-based coating.

ArcelorMittal has once again been recognised by CDP for its strong performance in corporate transparency and action on climate change. ArcelorMittal successfully retained its A- score in the 2020 CDP Climate Change assessment, putting the company within the top quartile of all metal smelting, refining and forming companies and the top 10% of the steel industry.

In this blog story Owain Davies discusses how Advanced High Strength Steel (AHSS) is enabling a greater level of flexibility when making battery design decisions for a safe, comfortable and accessible autonomous vehicle experience. This is part of the Steel E-Motive project by World Auto Steel (WAS), which focuses on the development of a radical vehicle architecture for Mobility as a Service and Autonomous applications, targeting available technologies for 2030 deployment.

To permanently reduce CO2 emissions, ArcelorMittal has developed a low-emissions technology strategy, which targets not only the use of alternative feedstocks and the conversion of CO2 emissions, but also the direct avoidance of carbon (Carbon Direct Avoidance, or CDA). In 2019, the Group intends to launch a new project in the ArcelorMittal plant in Hamburg to use hydrogen on an industrial scale.

ArcelorMittal invests in R&D to develop the steels of the future and to present solutions to its customers that will respond to the challenges to come. The JVD technology coats a moving strip of steel in a vacuum chamber, by vaporizing zinc onto the steel.

In this fourth episode of a series of videos about breakthrough applications of laser welded blanks Jessé Paegle, Head of Product & Solution Development at ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks, shows how the Multi Part Integration (MPI) concept applies to the Double Door Ring, the biggest part of a car structure. MPI radically simplifies the vehicle production process by reducing the number of operations, leading to significant sustainability gains and potential cost savings.

Press hardenable steels (PHS) offer ultra high strength and the ability to be formed into complex shapes. This makes them ideal for hot stamping processes and enables OEMs to achieve excellent weight reductions across the vehicle.

ArcelorMittal is transforming the auto industry from the inside out. ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company, is continually developing lightweight steel solutions that make vehicles lighter, safer and more sustainable.

Carmakers can select the most suitable innovative steel coatings from ArcelorMittal’s wide global offer to meet their quality and cost challenges. This webinar details ArcelorMittal coatings offer for cold stamping, presenting various steel coatings, their properties, advantages and typical applications.

PSA award recognises the value ArcelorMittal adds to the partnership. Both companies work together to create the vehicles of the future with the next generation of steel solutions.

In the first of a two-part series, Carl de Maré, head of technology strategy at ArcelorMittal explains steel’s role in creating a low-carbon, circular economy that works for everyone.
