Tata Steel has developed an innovative new product for automotive manufacturers in response to market requirements for stronger and lighter steels. The new product, DP1000HY-GI, is a high-yield, ultra high-strength steel which combines strength and formability and allows manufacturers to make lighter components without altering their production facilities. The material is ideally suited for the crash-protection structure of a vehicle.
Tata Steel is one of a very small number of steelmakers to be able to offer this innovative product, which can reduce a component’s weight by up to 15%. The company worked closely with automotive manufacturers to develop this high-strength steel, which can be processed by manufacturers’ existing machinery -- a critical consideration in its development.
The high-yield strength of DP1000HY steel, which allows the material to endure high stress during deformation and therefore absorbs more crash energy, is most suitable for making components such as A and B pillar reinforcements, sills, door beams and cross members.
Tata Steel, the flagship company of the Tata group is the first integrated steel plant in Asia and is now the world’s second most geographically diversified steel producer and a Fortune 500 Company.
