Abstract
This paper is a short review on some recent developments regarding steels for automotive use. A new precoated steel suitable for to hot stamping processing has been developed, which is most appropriate for producing anti‐intrusion parts. Another evolution of precoated steels is a new inorganic treatment (NIT), which has proved to be efficient in increasing the stamping productivity of precoated steels. In the field of corrosion protection, a new generation of thin organic coatings has been implemented and in the future Zn‐Mg metallic coatings will help to save auxiliary anticorrosion measures such as wax and mastics. To offer steels with high stiffness but low weight, Arcelor has developed a new multimaterial sandwich which shows a good potential for large panels due to its high stiffness. Finally, some breakthrough steel products are discussed as possible candidates for mid/long term applications.
