...continue to allow advanced high-strength grades to push highstrength low-alloy steels to the sidelines, giving body-in-white designers more design freedom and allowing for improved lightweighting and safety. Follow the developments in the automotive-steel industry and it's clear that steelmakers continue to invest mightily to improve processing techniques and refine compositions, resulting in the continuous introduction of new advanced highstrength steel (AHSS) grades and the continued push of conventional highstrength low-alloy (HSLA) grades out of the picture. And, automakers are eager to adopt these new grades, as evidenced by presentations made annually at the Great Designs in Steel conference.
