Optimising manufacturing and in-use performance
Our metallic coated products are engineered for manufacturing reliability and in-use safety performance. We offer these steels in conjunction with a suite of services that help you to identify the perfect balance between performance, lightweighting and costs. Our product line provides opportunities to meet application-specific requirements. It comprises:
We offer zinc coating (Z/GI) and Magizinc®, a zinc-magnesium coating. MagiZinc delivers improved corrosion resistance with up to half the thickness of a conventional zinc coating.
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
Applications
Applications for our metallic coated steel are:
- body and closure panels
- interior and trim
- crash components
- structural reinforcements
Metallic coated product families
EN-Product-Metallic Coated-Forming TSUK
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.
EN-Product-Metallic Coated-HSS TSUK
High-strength steel
Our range of metallic coated high-strength steels includes micro-alloyed and bake-hardening grades. Available with various corrosion-resistant coatings, they are ideal for applications requiring strength without a weight penalty. MagiZinc® coatings improve press shop yields, enable reduced coating thickness and optimise weight savings.
EN-Product-Metallic Coated-AHSS TSUK
Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS)
Dual-phase steels are an AHSS steel that combine high yield strength with good ductility – ensuring excellent fatigue properties and energy absorption.
For example our DP800-UC is a dual phase steel with a strength of approximately 800 MPa and a formability that makes it suitable for light deep drawn or crash formed components. The material is often used for body-in-white structural and reinforcement components like pillar reinforcements and crash structures as well as for light weight seating components.
EN-Product-Metallic Coated-Structural steel TSUK
Structural steel
Tata Steel’s metallic coated structural steel behaves reliably in roll-forming and bending processes and is suitable for welding.
For exceptionally demanding applications, we have grades that exceed the minimum strength levels specified in EN 10346:2015.
