Innovation becoming increasingly important to differentiate

Strength / crash
 Advanz™ s600: full crash 250 MPa
Forming  6xxx: 300-350 Mpa semi-crash
 Advanz e200 for high forming skin
 Tailored properties blanks
applications, e.g. bodysides
 Advanz Fusion e200 for high forming
applications, e.g. door inners

Joining
 Full family of remotely Recycling
weldable alloys  Increasing recycled content in all
‒ Advanz e200 alloys (reducing footprint and cost)
‒ E170  Circular material flows in closed
‒ HS6xxx loops
 Multi material joining steel/alu  World-class scrap sorting technology
 Process and EOL recycling
