AM/NS Calvert will establish the capability to manufacture Ultra High Tensile Strength Steel with High Formability
05/29/2015 - Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC) announced that it will take measures to realize the full capabilities of AM/NS Calvert, a US based 50/50 joint venture between NSSMC and ArcelorMittal (AM), to manufacture Ultra High Tensile Strength Cold-rolled and Coated Steel sheets with High Formability by the end of 2016.
AM/NS Calvert will begin producing such materials up to 1.2 gigapascals (GPa) of tensile strength to be used for cold pressed structural car body parts.
AM/NS Calvert is already capable of producing High Tensile Strength Steel up to 1.2 gigapascals (GPa) with its existing facilities. In addition to the existing production capabilities, these new measures will make AM/NS Calvert the first overseas manufacturing site for NSSMC that is capable of producing Ultra High Tensile Strength Steel sheets with High Formability. Currently, such steels are produced only at NSSMC manufacturing sites in Japan. Through these new capabilities, AM/NS Calvert will further contribute to strengthening NSSMC’s global supply network of high-end products for automotive customers.
