Gauging the savings from switching to high-strength steel.
We can manipulate the composition of HSLA to create better mechanical properties or resistance to corrosion, with reduced gauge and increased strength. Translation: material cost savings. You can also lower freight, packaging, and handling costs. Our automotive and trucking customers use it for lightweighting of parts and components.
Download this line card for an example from our Materials Support Team, of how HSLA could lower cost per linear foot by 28%, with 40% less steel tonnage required.
