The automotive industry uses many types of steel, including:
Galvanized steel
A common choice due to its affordability and compatibility with vehicle manufacturing. It’s coated with zinc to increase the vehicle’s longevity and reduce the need for repairs and maintenance.

Stainless steel
A strong, durable, and corrosion-resistant material used in exhaust systems, fuel tanks, and other components. It can also be used in the construction of entire vehicles.

High carbon steel
A heat-treated steel that’s more durable, but less ductile and more brittle than other types of steel.

Low carbon steel
Also known as mild steel, this low-cost metal is used for car housings, control arms, suspension parts, and other components.

Advanced high-strength steel (AHSS)
A type of alloy steel that’s mainly used in sheet form for automotive structures.

High strength low alloy
A strong and impact-resistant steel that’s used for manufacturing fasteners and other parts.

Alloy steel
A composite metal made by combining different types of metals to create a stronger, more wear-resistant material
