“We are taking a step toward third-generation steels by launching the galvanized Docol DH steel family. A product with a tensile strength of 600 MPa is now ready for customer trials and will be joined later this year by products with a tensile strength of 800 and 1,000 MPa,” said Matti Säily, SSAB Europe’s product manager for metal coated products.

The company said the product launch comes as it aims to increase shipments of premium automotive steels to 750,000 metric tons by 2020. And it appears to be well on its way – it shipped 537,000 tons in 2017.
