New Generation High Strength Steels

This area comprises of projects to develop new metallurgical options to enable the Group to meet future demands for high strength steels.

Among the multiple approaches, one related work aimed at meeting already known needs, is the development of high strength and ductility (HSD) steels. Since 2005, Corus and Salzgitter have been working together on identifying opportunities for the application of HSD steels in selected market sectors.
