Steels for hot forming

Press-hardening steels for hot forming are available in various strengths and are coated with zinc or zinc-iron. Best crash behavior, high dimensional accuracy and very good joining properties are the hallmarks of components made of these materials.

Metallic coatings

  • Zinc (Z) for applications subject to average corrosion (galvanized)
  • Zinc-iron (ZF) for corrosion protection with highest weldability requirements (galvannealed)
  • Zinc-magnesium (ZM) for best cathodic corrosion protection (corrender®)

corrender® is the high-performance zinc-magnesium-aluminum coating made by voestalpine.

The corrender® surface achieves a significantly higher corrosion resistance than conventional galvanized steel strip, despite its reduced layer thickness. The surface is characterized by excellent forming properties, minimized friction and efficient postprocessing.

Surface quality

Hot-dip galvanized steel strip is available in a variety of surface finishes from standard to improved surfaces. For example in the automotive industry, the best exposed components with minimum waviness and high contour sharpness provide an ideal solution for particularly demanding applications.
