Marcegaglia, the partner of excellence for the automotive industry

The world automotive market is seeing an ever-increasing trend to lighten the weight of vehicles, through the downsizing of the engine and the creation of designs aimed at optimizing weight.

Marcegaglia, the partner of excellence for the automotive industry, in response to this trend, provides car manufacturers and OEMs with dedicated solutions that allow them to obtain lighter vehicles contributing to the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions, optimizing costs and ensuring the highest safety standards.

Marcegaglia Specialties, the Marcegaglia group company dedicated to the processing of stainless steel for the production of tubes, flat products and cold drawn bars, has developed solutions for the automotive market, enriching the offer of stainless steel products with a range of coils and sheets with 1D and 2D/2B finishes and improving the formability and drawability of flat ferritic products stabilized through a special surface treatment combined with an almost transient annealing process.

Marcegaglia has also developed specific know-how in the sector of stainless steel flat products and welded pipes for exhaust systems (manifolds, front and central pipes, flexible couplings, catalysts, silencers, tail pipes) and for hydroforming applications, as well as custom shaped sections for bus frames and other structural applications in the commercial vehicle industry.

Special attention to the truck market segment has led to the development of large diameter laser welded tubes with very tight tolerances and high performance.
