perform® series are low-carbon micro-alloyed steels which are thermomechanically rolled.

The steel grades in the perform® series are low-carbon micro-alloyed steels which are thermomechanically rolled.

The low carbon and alloying element levels, the cleanness of the steels with their low sulfur content and the special rolling process results in excellent properties including good cold formability, weldability and toughness.

perform® sheets are cut-to-length from hot-rolled strips and are available in thicknesses up to 12 mm.

Cold Forming | thyssenkrupp Steel

In this video you can see the Process reliability, dimensional stability, cost-effectiveness and almost no spring back, these are the advantages offered by our smartform® cold forming process.

Properties of perform®

Minimum yield points up to 1,100 MPa (perform® 1100) with excellent cold formability

Press braking and bending with very small radii

Notch impact energy 27 J at -40 °C

Excellent surface quality

Outstanding weldability

Please note: Our perform® steels are distributed in Europe under the brand names referring to the metric system (the yield strength given in MPa). In some publications (like data sheets or brochures) only the European brand names and the corresponding values in the metric system may be listed.

Hot forming | thyssenkrupp Steel

Our hot forming steels allow to reduce costs and weight – owing to their high strength in conjunction with good forming properties.

▶️ What is hot forming? Hot forming is a forming technology in steel processing. It is the leading production technology. In this process, the steel is heated to up to 900°C and then formed into the desired shape. Then the part is quenched to achieve high strength.

▶️Where are hot formed products used? Especially in the automotive industry, maximum strengths and good forming properties of steel as well as low material consumption and excellent dimensional stability are of great importance, especially for crash-relevant components such as B-pillars.

▶️What are the advantages of hot forming? Compared with cold forming, hot forming of steels permits significantly higher part complexity at low press forces. Hot-formed body parts meet requirements for weight reduction while offering equivalent stiffness, high strength, good dimensional accuracy and improved crash behavior.

▶️thyssenkrupp Steel and hot forming With decades of experience in hot forming and as a proven partner to the auto industry, we are ideally placed to provide you with expert advice. Our test center with state-of-the-art hot forming equipment enables us to reproduce the processes used in production on a laboratory scale. We can provide extensive support during vehicle development – from part design to production readiness – through various analyses (e.g. thermography or forming).
