SSAB Swedish Steel
- Advanced High Strength Steel Seminars
Advanced high strength steel* is already shaping the future for many products and applications within the automotive and heavy transport industry. Advanced high strength steels can improve existing products by making them lighter and stronger.
* extra-high and ultra-high strength steel
The SSAB technical seminars illustrate the benefits and the latest developments in advanced high strength steels. Throughout the seminar there will be expert presentations on the technical and commercial advantages of both extra-high and ultra-high strength steels, plus highly detailed information on the forming and joining, with particular relevance to both product design and manufacturing issues.
More than 2000 participants from the automotive world
Since the start of the advanced high strength steel seminar campaign, more than 2000 participants from the automotive world have attended the technical expert seminars. The seminars have been run in various venues across Europe, Asia, North and South America and have received a huge interest from both OEMs and Tiers.

Quotes from participants attending the automotive seminars:
“The seminar offered the updated trend and status in the automotive industry. Advanced high strength steels will be used more and more for the improved safety and safe environment”, says Mr. Soon-woo Kwon of Hyundai Motor.
“As an industrial designer of seats, I must admit that I was more interested by the contributions on the stamping of DP steels. I was highly satisfied on this point, and the presentations showed good levels of technical detail. This was a highly instructive day, providing a comprehensive presentation of advanced high strength steels (HLE and UHLE steels)”, Mr. Camus, Faurecia.
“The seminar is significant for body-in-white design”,
says Chen Zhuuo, Shanghai Volkswagen.
General Motors Spain: “An important part was how to avoid springback of these materials. It has been very positive to come.”
“The technical seminar of SSAB was quite deep and advanced, and various kinds of applications and cases were interesting”,
said Mr. Kee-joo Kim of Ssangyong Motor.
“The forming and joining presentations were the most interesting ones for me, as those were highly material related”, says Dr. Ralf Blümke, Daimler.
“The presentations were both clear and had a very good level of technical details. The strong instructive content and the formal presentation of data were particularly notable. The presentation on the design of vehicles using advanced high strength steels was particularly interesting”, says Mrs. Buste, Renault.
“The properties of these materials allow us to meet to the customers’ expectations in an accurate way, enhancing the functionality and without forgetting the profit optimization of the companies”,
says Rui Fevereiro, Volkswagen Autoeuropa, Portugal.
