DUAL-TEN® (DUAL
PHASE) APPLICATIONS
Today’s
automobile manufacturers are increasingly using U. S. Steel’s dual
phase steel, DUAL-TEN® steel
to reduce mass, reduce cost, and
improve crash energy management. As
shown below, vehicle impact components can have relatively complex
shapes, yet still have thin gages. DUAL-TEN® steel allows the versatility of mass reduction combined with improved driver
and passenger safety - an advantage that alternative materials cannot
match.

site and check out our online DUAL-TEN®
steel brochure.
