Steel’s strength has multiplied by almost 10 times over the past 20 years, from 270 to 2000 MPa tensile strength. Combining Usibor with Ductibor into laser-welded blanks offers several significant advantages including weight savings, improved crash behavior and cost savings through material and manufacturing optimization, the steelmaker says.
