Description: The Complex Phase family of steels supplements ArcelorMittal's VHSS (very high strength steel) product range. These steels are cold formed to make lightweight structural elements. A number of automotive parts, such as sills and door reinforcements, have simple shapes and the steel is therefore only slightly deformed. For this reason, ArcelorMittal has added the Complex Phase family of steels to its range. These steels offer high as-delivered yield strength and good bendability and stretch flangeability.

Applications: Given their high energy absorption capacity and fatigue strength, these grades are particularly well suited for automotive safety components requiring good impact strength and for suspension system components.
