Transverse control arm

With its SZBS800 and SZBS600 grades, Salzgitter Flachstahl has developed two innovative bainitic hot-rolled steels which belong to the group of complex-phase steels. These materials are predestined for use in dynamically stressed components:

• Increased hole expansion and the associated minimal edge cracking susceptibility
• Process-safe production of very complex component geometries while maintaining high tensile strength
• Significant potential for component integration
• High fatigue strength, especially when subjected to dynamic stress
• Potential for lightweight construction due to reduction in the thickness of the sheet metal and more construction-friendly design
• Very good weldability
