Originally developed for the automotive industry, Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) are now used across a wide range of industries that demand lighter, stronger components without adding unnecessary weight. These steels combine high strength with the flexibility needed to form complex parts, giving manufacturers more options when designing for performance. For equipment that lifts, carries, or moves, AHSS can help reduce weight to improve efficiency, increase payload, and support long-term durability without sacrificing structural performance.
AHSS Types
Combines high strength and ductility through a dual-phase microstructure for excellent energy absorption.
Provides high strength with improved edge formability for roll formed and brake-formed parts.
Offers high strength and reduced edge cracking for structural parts and reinforcements.
Ultra-high strength for impact and safety components requiring maximum hardness and minimal deformation.
AHSS Strip
Advanced high strength steels can introduce new challenges when it comes to forming parts. DURELAST™ is our domestically produced cold rolled AHSS developed to deliver ultra high strength with more predictable formability than dual phase steels. Its unique balance of strength and processability creates opportunities to use thinner, lighter material while maintaining the bendability, weldability, and structural performance demanding applications require. For roll formed shapes, structural tubing, and bent profiles, DURELAST™ gives manufacturers a more consistent path to lightweighting with fewer processing variables.
