Metallic coated
Multiple benefits

    You can choose from a range of metallic coatings including Tata Steel’s innovative MagiZinc Auto coating. MagiZinc Auto delivers an improved press performance for complex shaped, deep drawn parts and improved corrosion resistance. It allows a reduction in coating weight of up to 50% compared to conventional zinc coatings.

    The main benefits of our metallic coated steel include:

    • consistent and reliable end product quality
    • proven corrosion resistance for extended product life
    • opportunities to produce stronger, lighter products
    • repeatable, trouble-free processing
    • maximised yield

    Steel for forming

    Our cold-rolled forming steels are available in a wide range of grades and corrosion-resistant coatings.

    Each grade is designed for specific applications and comes with a choice of surface quality. Extensive dimensional choice provides opportunities for cutting waste and maximising yield.

    MagiZinc® improves corrosion resistance with half the thickness of conventional zinc coatings, increasing yield, reducing cost and facilitating stronger, lighter products. It offers improved automotive corrosion protection and higher process efficiency.

    EN-Automotive-Product-Metallic Coated-AHSS UHSS TSE

    Advanced and ultra high-strength steel (AHSS/UHSS)

    Dual-phase steels are an AHSS steel that combine high yield strength with good ductility – ensuring excellent fatigue properties and energy absorption.

    Our ultra-high strength steel grades for automotive applications, such as HyperForm®, are lightweight and offer design freedom for complex parts. Their high yield and ductility ensure shape accuracy and tolerancing, which enable maintained in-service performance for difficult-to-form parts.
