Steel Solutions for the Automotive Market Sector
Chrome Moly Steel
Manufacturers across the automotive market sector choose chrome molybdenum steels like 16Mo3 and 13CrMo4-5 to meet the demands of high-load, high-heat environments. These materials are valued for their resilience and stability in applications where strength under pressure is critical for maintaining performance over time.
Stainless Steel
Our stainless steel grades, including 304, 316, and 321, are a reliable option for customers looking to protect critical components against corrosion while ensuring structural durability. Such steels deliver the added benefit of clean finishes, making them suitable for both internal features and exposed elements of the vehicle.
Tubular Steel
For engineers designing fluid transfer systems or reinforcing frameworks, our tubular steels provide dependable strength and excellent formability. Supplied in both stainless and chrome moly options, they’re used across a wide range of automotive builds where tight tolerances and strong joints matter.
High-Strength Structural Steels
Many of our automotive clients turn to high-strength steels when weight reduction and safety need to work together. We provide grades such as S700MC, S690QL, and S960MC, which deliver excellent mechanical strength and reliable formability. This combination makes them well-suited for frameworks and reinforcement zones where durability and compliance are crucial. With the right grade selection, manufacturers can meet emissions targets while maintaining the structural standards their vehicles demand.
Armour Plate Grades
We support specialist automotive builds with steels that go beyond standard protection. Our Protection 400 and Protection 500 grades are trusted by clients developing secure enclosures or high-strength structural elements. The range is thoroughly tested for impact resistance, offering dependable performance in environments where safety and peace of mind are vital.
