Steel Profiles and Forgings for Automotive
Hot rolled and cold drawn profiles plus forged steering suspension and driveline parts made to the buyer's drawing.
What Goes Wrong in This Sector
- Hinge, cotter and pole shoe profiles have to hold their section across millions of parts
- Tooling life falls when the steel machines badly
- Steering and suspension parts cannot be cast because of the failure mode
What a Supplier Has To Get Right
- A profile steel grade that combines high mechanical properties with good machinability
- Forged parts that follow the buyer's drawing exactly
- Consistent supply for both OEM and aftermarket volumes
