Carpenter Technology Corporation and US Steel have cooperated to develop a new “lightweighting” steel for automotive applications.
Carpenter’s patented alloy, temper tough specialized steel alloy, is designed for use in flat-roll automotive applications.
The new alloy may help automotive manufacturers meet recently mandated Corporate Average Fuel Requirement (CAFÉ) standard by light weighting vehicles.
Meanwhile, US Steel with decades of experience in automotive and highs strength steel sectors, will develop the grade through its operational footprint.
