How can you make household appliances lighter and stronger? Discover how advanced high-strength steels and smart co-engineering make all the difference, even into the washing machine!
Manufacturers of household appliances are increasingly using advanced high-strength steels. These are not only lighter but also stronger than traditional steels. Because less steel is needed to make a part, the use of advanced high-strength steels can result in significant cost and weight savings.
To determine which steels are suitable for different applications, ArcelorMittal engineers support the customer in product development. During that co-engineering, we give advice based on our product catalog. Sometimes we even point out steel grades that are still under development, but are better suited than an existing solution. We also carry out tests and simulations, so that the customer can be sure that he will deliver a product that meets consumer requirements.
For example, the ArcelorMittal Group has developed a new washing machine concept, which allows washing machines to operate more quietly at higher spin speeds.
