    The new wire and electrode products make our Duroxite® product range even more versatile for wear part manufacturers and industries performing wear part maintenance and repairs. The Duroxite® portfolio now covers overlay plates with different hardfacing materials, overlay pipes, overlay pins, welding wire and electrodes.
     Lingyun Wei, Global Product Manager Duroxite®
    Duroxite® 200 WIRE is mainly used for capping, routine maintenance or repair work. It can be welded on mild steel, Q&T steels, cast materials and stainless steel. Duroxite® 200 WIRE is easy to apply on site or in the workshop.

    In addition to a wide thickness range, Docol hot rolled AHSS makes it possible to drastically increase the tensile strength in a component, while reducing the amount of material needed to produce it. This can result in a significant reduction in weight, while achieving the same performance and a lower cost, thanks to less material needed overall

    We compared Toolox 44 with conventional tool steel alloyed with chromium, molybdenum and vanadium. Toolox produced better results on all points
    Mayank Kumar
    In truth tool vibration is one of the main limiting factors behind increased productivity. The build and stability of today’s machines allow for significantly higher rates. Compared with tools made of conventional materials it’s possible to increase the removal rate significantly by changing to Toolox 44.

    Gestamp and SSAB collaboration leads to new Docol 1000CP steel

    Gestamp’s innovative, lighter design for front lower control arm lead to 7-year collaborative effort with SSAB, resulting in new 1000 MPa complex phase steel. This effort demonstrates the power of early design-stage — and on-going — collaboration, combined with SSAB’s capacity to deliver multiple steel grade iterations to solve challenging lightweighting requirements.In 2014, Gestamp started to develop a new front lower control arm for the Toyota Yaris in Europe. It soon became clear the steel grade required to develop this part did not yet exist. This was when Gestamp approached SSAB. “

    BIS certified Docol ® steel opens the door to safer cars in India

    SSAB’s entire hot and cold rolled range of Docol® automotive steel has been approved by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). For Indian OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, this means an easy access to important steel grades that are needed for creating lighter and safer cars. For SSAB, the result is an even stronger position in a booming market.BIS in short To support local industries in a fast-growing Indian economy, the National Standard Body of India created the BIS certification in 2016. The move is expected to foster standardization for all steel grades in the country, leading to better

    SSAB’s Docol® steel used in Gacha all-weather autonomous shuttle bus

    SSAB is a partner in the Gacha all-weather autonomous shuttle bus premiered in Helsinki last week. The autonomous minibus is the outcome of collaboration between Finnish robotics company Sensible 4 and the Japanese company MUJI. SSAB provided its expertise in special steels to the project by donating tubes made of Docol® steel for the bus frame to give the lightness required. The autonomous shuttle bus will begin to take passengers in Espoo in April. Later this year, this new style shuttle bus will also be seen in Hämeenlinna, Vantaa and Helsinki. Gacha had its first run last

    SSAB introduces Docol HE – hot rolled AHSS with improved edge ductility

    SSAB is introducing Docol HE, a new range of hot rolled advanced high strength steel (AHSS) with improved edge ductility for automotive manufacturers facing technical challenges in production.Developed for the most demanding applications and manufacturing conditions in the automotive industry, Docol HE steel provides improved properties for those facing design and production challenges with conventional HSLA material. The benefits of Docol HE includes improved edge ductility with greatly increased local formability, sheared edge quality and hole expansion ratios. This can result

    Docol® 600DH-GI – SSAB’s first 3rd generation metal-coated steel product ready for customer trials

    SSAB supplies quality high-strength steels to leading global automotive manufacturers. We are now expanding our product offering with so-called third generation hot-dip galvanized steel products. Docol 600DH-GI is the first product ready for customer trials.“We are taking a step towards third generation steels by launching the galvanized Docol DH steel family. A product with a tensile strength of 600 MPa is now ready for customer trials and will be joined later this year by products with a tensile strength of 800 and 1000 MPa,” said Matti Säily, Product Manager, Metal Coated Products, SSAB

    Excellent teamwork and communication ensured the successful launch of Docol 1500M-EG

    SSAB’s Docol team transformed one of the most complex product development projects into one of the smoothest and even completed ahead of time. How was this possible? Let’s first take a look at the product itself. Docol® 1500M-EG is a cold-rolled, electrogalvanized ultra-high-strength steel (UHSS) developed for applications in cars with stringent requirements for low weight and high energy absorption, and where corrosion protection is needed. This new product was launched last year and it has proved to be a success. It took a lot of people to make it all happen and required

    Docol hot-rolled AHSS provides new opportunities for chassis manufacturers

    SSAB has introduced a range of hot-rolled advanced high strength steel (AHSS) grades to the Docol product portfolio of automotive steel, allowing for the development of new, innovative chassis components.The new Docol range of hot-rolled AHSS products brings increased strength to automotive components like torsion beams, control arms and chassis.

    SSAB launches new, stronger press hardening steel for automotive safety components – Docol PHS 2000

    Through a join collaboration with a prominent automotive component manufacture, SSAB has developed Docol PHS 2000, a new press hardening steel that offers higher tensile strength than any other product in its wide portfolio of press hardening automotive steels.Docol PHS 2000 is a new steel that is the result of a close collaboration between SSAB and automotive component manufacturer Gestamp.  The collaboration project had the primary goal of finding an even lighter and more cost-effective solution for a bumper component. Upon project completion, Docol PHS 2000 achieved this with a 17

    Automotive: Cold-forming returns

    Cold-forming steels have several advantages and are experiencing a resurgence in the automotive industry. This trend is likely to continue.More and more automotive manufacturers are realizing that hot forming is a costly process and not so favorable from the sustainability perspective. To date, there has not been a range of cold-forming steels with the right properties available in the market. Now SSAB’s cold-formed Advanced High Strength steels (AHSS) offer car manufacturers a cost-efficient and environmentally sound alternative. Of course, sometimes hot forming is the only option allowing

    SSAB launches Docol™ (hot-rolled) steel tailor made for chassis applications

    During the next few months SSAB releases two new hot rolled advanced high strength steel products that are more or less tailor-made for chassis applications. “The advanced high strength steels exceed 800 and 1000 MPa in tensile strength which offers a unique combination of properties for maximized hole expansion and edge ductility” says Daniel Sund, Product Manager for hot-rolled automotive products at SSAB Europe. The Docol HR800HE and Docol HR1000HE steel grades fulfil the toughest OEM requirements for hole expansion ratio, for example for a lower control arm.Thus far, higher tensile
