AS coating

As a manufacturing technology, hot stamping offers a great deal of potential for cost and weight reduction in automotive engineering.

The AS coating is particularly suitable for applications that require high oxidation resistance at high temperatures. The silicon content in the coating enables it to be used at high temperatures such as hot forming.

Hot stamping is particularly suitable for highly complex and crash-relevant structural components in cars. Thanks to the high ultimate strength of the material, it is possible, for example, to realize A/B/C pillars which have comparatively thin material thicknesses and are therefore particularly lightweight but still crash-resistant.
