COMMENT
Steel and aluminum seek
driver’s seat in auto battle
Managing director
The end uses of steel and aluminum products are going to play
major roles in the automotive and energy sectors, among other
areas, and they are going to continue to battle for the share of
these markets. For the overall future of the metals industry, the
U.S. economy and the global environment, it’s good news that this
battle continues.
In this special issue devoted to the automotive sector, you will
find viewpoints from the front line of the battle – several trade association executive have contributed opinion pieces – as well as a
buyers’ guide.
The Obama Administration has set into motion a series of regulations that will raise the standards of fuel efficiency. By the year
2025 all cars and light-duty trucks must meet a 54.5 mpg fueleconomy requirement. Automakers are planning to meet these
requirements through the development of advanced technologies
and the implementation of strategic lightweighting solutions – all
while maintaining the highest standards in passenger safety. This
process involves the combination and strategic use of strength and
ductility, achieved through the application of cost-effective design
and the use of manufacturing solutions. The combined result of
these initiatives is expected to be more fuel-efficient vehicles by
the year 2025.
There are studies that project that Ford, General Motors and
Fiat Chrysler will become the biggest users of aluminum sheet in
the next decade. On the other hand, these and other automakers
also are using advanced high-strength steel, nano-structured steel
and other products in addition to traditional steel.
The North American steel industry continues to invest in advanced materials and manufacturing technologies that have led to
the introduction of a wide variety of new automotive steels. The
steel industry is meeting this need through the development of new
advanced high-strength steel grades, whose unique metallurgical
properties and manufacturability enable the automotive industry
to affordably meet increasingly stringent requirements.
And so the battle will go on. But the movement to a cleaner and
greener economy and world is not a fixed target; rather it is a still
being defined and discussed. So who will win this fight? In the case
of steel v. aluminum, the jury is still out, although it’s going to be
a fun case to watch being argued over the next generation or so.
The movement to a cleaner and greener economy and world is
not a fixed target; rather it is a still being defined and discussed.
For the time being, steel and aluminum makers will attempt not
only to solve the problem, but also define it.

The steelmakers of the SMA continue to look for innovative and technologically-driven ways to promote the use of steel in autos, Phil Bell says.
Automotive and EAF steel: Focused on the road ahead
When looking at the future of the automotive industry, it is important to understand
the role that electric arc furnace (EAF)
steel producers will play. As recently as a
decade ago, there were many who refused
to acknowledge that EAF steelmaking technology could produce high-grade steels that
were suitable for automotive applications.
Yet diligently and quietly, EAF producers
have made tremendous strides into the automotive markets, and are now a permanent
fixture in the automotive steel value chain.
Almost every segment of the automotive
supply chain consumes EAF-produced steel.
Whether it is cold-rolled or hot–rolled, flat
products or SBQ, steel from EAF producers
is increasingly used in suspension systems,
crank shafts, wheel hubs, body panels, exhaust systems, pistons, safety restraints,
drive shafts, connecting rods and various
other automotive structural systems.
The 21st century steelmakers of the Steel
Manufacturers Association (SMA) remain
focused on the road ahead, as they continue
to look for innovative and technologicallydriven ways to promote the use of steel in
automotive manufacturing. I believe that
that the future is bright for automotive
steel; particularly EAF-produced steel. Let
us first examine some of the key factors
from a product application perspective;
then, we will look into some of the commercial trends.
We should begin by acknowledging that
steel is more sustainable than aluminum.
Consumers, manufacturers and governments continue to grow in their understanding of the importance of life-cycle
assessment (LCA) as it relates to the environment. It is critical to address CO2 emissions over the full life-cycle of a vehicle,
and not just when it is driven. Without
taking into account the environmental impact and costs associated with the sourcing,
manufacturing and recycling of a material,
such as EAF-produced steel, fuel economy
and greenhouse gas emissions are not accurately reflected.
Secondly, advanced high-strength steels
(AHSS) have superior benefits in automotive light weighting. AHHS can be produced at very thin gauges while maintaining their strength. Essentially, AHHS use
less material, reducing mass, while maintaining their strength.
Fall 2016
With automotive demand expected to remain strong
for several more years, and with EAF producers
continuing to make inroads in the flat-rolled product
and SBQ categories, I remain very passionate and
optimistic about what the 21st Century Steelmakers of SMA
can bring to the table in the automotive materials debate.
Thirdly, AHHS grades are the fastest
growing component material in light vehicle manufacturing. According to the U.S.
Department of Energy, the use of AHHS
will increase by 11 percent over the next 20
years, versus just a 3.5 percent increase in
aluminum over the same period. Inevitably,
cars must be made of a variety of materials
due to varied functionality requirements in
automotive applications. Even with projections out to the year 2035, conventional
steel and AHSS will continue to be the material of choice for automakers, comprising
between 40-50 percent of a car when looking at vehicle composition by material.
Steel has advantages in its strength, formability and affordability, and has more optimal applications than aluminum, which is
used primarily for exterior panels.
From a commercial perspective, there are
two emerging trends that underscore why
EAF producers will continue to be major

players in automotive steel going forward.
They are the increasing automotive production capacity in Mexico and the strategic initiatives of EAF flat-rolled producers.
Increasingly, Mexico has become a target
country for automotive assembly plants.
Nine out of the last 11 new auto plants
announced for construction in the NAFTA
region will be located in Mexico. Mexico
is expected to double its automotive production capacity by 2020, and to produce
about five million units per year starting in
2018. While this growth is phenomenal,
there is a shortage of high-grade steel in
Mexico to meet the needs of automakers.
Due to strongly developed supply chains
in the NAFTA region, there is growing opportunity for both U.S. integrated steelmakers and EAF steelmakers to supply this
burgeoning market.
As of July of this year, SMA member
Steel Dynamics, Inc. (SDI) is on track to
sell over 180,000 tons of automotive steel
to customers in Mexico from its flat-rolled
facility in Columbus, Mississippi. SDI purchased the mill from Severstal in 2014.
SDI forecasts that its annual sales of automotive steel in Mexico will soon exceed
200,000 tons. This will supplement SDI’s
sales into the still healthy U.S. automotive
market, where unit sales are expected to
reach about 17.9 million this year.
SDI is not only seizing a great opportunity in Mexico, but is also using this growth
to diversify its product offerings and to
continue inroads into the automotive marwww.amm.com
ket, setting the stage for steel sales directly
to automakers.
If any company has proven how EAF
producers can compete in high value-added
steel production, it is Nucor. While Nucor
already supplies automotive grade steel to
Mexico from two domestic locations, its
recently announced joint venture with JFE
Steel Corporation of Japan shows how far
EAF producers have come in their ability to
produce high-grade automotive steel.
In addition to these bellwether EAF producers, startup companies are getting in on
the action as well. The highly anticipated
Big River Steel in Osceola, Arkansas will
use state-of-the-art equipment and a focus
on technology to produce AHSS targeted
specifically for the automotive industry.
What’s even more compelling is that Big
River intends to lead the way in automotive
steel R&D involving AHSS. Big River plans a
partnership with a leading automotive steel research group in its quest to make Arkansas the
epicenter of an increasingly growing automotive presence in the Southeastern United States.
With automotive demand expected to
remain strong for several more years, and
with EAF producers continuing to make
inroads in the flat-rolled product and SBQ
categories, I remain very passionate and
optimistic about what the 21st Century
Steelmakers of SMA can bring to the table
in the automotive materials debate.
As a material, EAF-produced steel plays
an important role in creating lighter and
safer vehicles with lower emissions. In a
world where cars will be made from a variety of components and challenged to meet
mileage and emissions standards, steel has
a solid track record.
In a world where the true sustainability
of a product should be measured by its entire life cycle as opposed to just part of it,
steel will emerge as the material of choice.
I am proud that SMA members in the flatrolled and SBQ space are making steel
more safely, sustainably and efficiently than
anyone in the world.

Innovations have led to AHSS, which deliver a range of benefits to automakers, SMDI’s Dr. Jody N. Hall, vice president, automotive market, says.
Steel’s role continues to evolve in automotive industry
Steel’s role in the automotive industry is
constantly evolving as automakers face increased demand for strength, lightweighting, value and sustainability. As this role has
changed, steel itself has changed with it. In
1970, only a few grades of steel were available for automakers. Today, there are more
than 200 grades of steel, allowing automakers to use the right grade in the right application to maximize performance. Today’s steel
grades are as much as six times stronger than
the steels of a decade ago1, and three to four
times stronger than the latest aluminum alloys on the market.2
Innovations in the steel industry have
led to the development of advanced highstrength steels (AHSS), which deliver a wide
range of benefits to automakers, including
exceptional occupant protection, crash energy management and durability. The added
strength of AHSS allows automakers to deliver these vital strength and safety benefits
with lightweight products using their existing manufacturing infrastructure, eliminating major manufacturing cost penalties associated with alternative materials. Grades
of automotive steel are broken down into a
few main categories, which can be applied to
manufactured components throughout the
vehicle, from the chassis to fascia pieces.
Types of Steel
With the largest range of strength levels compared to other metals, steel has significant
advantages in manufacturing. Automakers
have seen the value in steel’s versatility, using
10 percent more AHSS in automotive applications each year than forecasted by Ducker
Worldwide.3 As AHSS grades continue to
evolve, even more chassis and suspension
applications are being realized in addition to
the many body structure and closure applications already met with AHSS. But AHSS
is not the only type of steel used in vehicles.
Today’s vehicles include a range of steel for a
variety of applications:
• Conventional Steels, interstitial-free and
mild steels are widely produced and, with
their exceptional formability (elongation of
30 – 60 percent), are typically used for complex shapes, including vehicle exterior painted
surfaces, such as doors, fenders and deck lids.
• Hot-Stamped Steels are formed at a minimum temperature of 850°C (thus fully austenitized) followed by a cooling rate greater
than 50°C per second to ensure the desired
mechanical properties are achieved. The
implementation of press-hardening applications (quenching in the forming die) and the
utilization of hardenable steels are promising
alternatives for optimized part geometries
with complex shapes and no springback issues. Hot-stamped steels have been in use
since the 1990s mainly in the passenger
compartment.
• High-Strength Steels (HSS) and HighStrength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels are medium strength (approx. 400 – 800 MPa) and
used in various body structure, suspension
and chassis parts and wheels, where strength
is needed for increased in-service load.
• Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS)
are high-strength (generally greater than 500
MPa) and applied in the body structure, including beams and cross members, sill and
pillar reinforcements and other energy-absorbing components. These steels provide the
automotive design engineer with high value,
lightweight solutions with the required stiffness (for improved ride and handling), crash
energy management (to absorb front and
rear crash energy) and strength (to provide
anti-intrusion during side or roll-over accidents). Examples include dual phase (DP)
and transformation induced plasticity or
TRIP steels.
• Ultra High-Strength Steels (UHSS) are
AHSS which are “ultra-high” in strength
(equal to or greater than 1000 MPa)
and are used in areas where exceptional
strength and anti-intrusion are needed, including the A-pillars, B-pillars, rockers and
rails. Examples include:
• Martensitic (MS) Steels are AHSS with
very high tensile strengths (800 MPa to 1900
MPa) and are produced by transforming the
austenite from the hot-rolling or annealing
process to martensite during quenching on
the run-out table or in the cooling section
of the continuous annealing line. MS steels
are characterized by a martensitic matrix
containing small amounts of ferrite and / or
bainite.
Current AHSS-Intensive Vehicles
Steel-intensive vehicle launches dominated
major auto show unveilings in 2015 and
2016, further showcasing steel’s lightweighting capabilities, durability and environmental benefits.
• 2015 Chevrolet Colorado / GMC Canyon: uses more than 70 percent HSS and
AHSS in the body structure, shedding weight
from the midsize truck, making it the most
fuel efficient in its segment. The Colorado’s
fully boxed frame formed primarily from
HSS reduces weight and increases stiffness
for a quieter ride and better handling.
• 2015 Ford Edge: uses more AHSS for a
solid body structure and improved platform
for suspension. The vehicle features DP1000
tubes running from the base of the A-pillar
to the C-pillar. Hyrdoformed tubes were introduced in the D-pillar to improve body-inwhite stiffness.
• 2016 Honda Pilot: applies HSS and ultra high-strength steel in the body. These
steel grades add strength and enhance rigidity to its frame, as well as improve collision
safety performance. The body structure is
composed of 21.3 percent ultra high-strength
steel. The Pilot features 1300 MPa steel

door reinforcement beams and front door
outer stiffener rings made of 1500 MPa hotstamped steel. These are designed to better
protect occupants in a frontal or side impact
and shallow off-set. The increased strength allows the components to be 2.8 pounds lighter.
• 2016 Nissan Titan XD: features 58 percent HSS and AHSS in its body structure. To
accommodate its imposing towing and payload, the Titan was redesigned with a larger
HSS, fully boxed, full-length ladder frame.
Every component has been bolstered and
strengthened for added stiffness, vertical and
lateral bending, as well as torsional rigidity.
• 2016 Kia Optima: uses more than 50
percent AHSS, a 150 percent increase from
the previous model. A new ring-shaped section, defining the trunk opening behind the
rear seats below the shelf, substantially increases body rigidity. Hot-stamping of components in 16 core stress areas boosts the
body structure for better driving dynamics
and a quieter ride.
• 2017 Buick LaCrosse: is nearly 300
pounds lighter than the current LaCrosse
– largely as a result of the use of HSS and
AHSS – which contribute to greater efficiency and more responsive handling.4
duction process and disposal of a car or
truck can account for a significant portion
of overall vehicle life cycle emissions. The
production phase is responsible for nearly
20 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions
for internal combustion engine vehicles and
as much as 47 percent for battery electric vehicles (BEVs).5 These are impacts to the environment and they are not accounted for in
current fuel economy regulations or factored
into most automotive design practices.
Once a vehicle is taken off the road, nearly
all automotive steel is easily collected and recycled. Steel’s physical properties allow products to be continuously recycled into any steel
product without loss of quality, saving vital
resources for future generations. These are
impacts to the environment before and after a vehicle’s active lifetime, and are not accounted for in current fuel economy regulations or factored into most automotive design
practices. Steel offers the lowest production
greenhouse gas emissions when compared to
alternative materials, making steel the most
sustainable option for automakers.
The Future of AHSS
The use of AHSS in vehicles continues to
increase each year, with approximately 254
pounds per vehicle in 2014, surpassing
2010 estimates by more than 20 pounds
per vehicle.6 Automakers are continuing
to design AHSS-intensive vehicles for 2017
models, such as the GMC Acadia. The body
structure incorporates HSS and AHSS, allowing for thinner components in some
areas offering comparable or better crash
performance than conventional materials.
They also help reduce the base curb weight
by an estimated 700 pounds compared to
the current model.
With continually growing demand for
new grades of HSS, the United States Automotive Materials Partnership is working
in collaboration with the Auto/Steel Partnership, a consortium of the Steel Market
Development Institute’s members and FCA
US LLC, Ford Motor Company and General Motors Company, to develop the next
generation of AHSS, known as third generation AHSS (3rd Gen AHSS). This new
generation of steel shares the high-strength
properties of AHSS, while also having
higher elongation, similar to HSS, enabling
automakers to use current stamping and
assembly infrastructure. The Steel Market
Development Institute estimates indicate
3rd Gen AHSS will capture roughly 10 percent of the automotive market as quickly
as 2020.

Environmental Impact
A main concern for automakers is the ability
to meet future fuel economy requirements.
To help automakers meet these goals, the
steel industry accelerated the introduction
of AHSS and continues to introduce new
AHSS grades with improved properties. By
combining the mass reduction enabled by
AHSS with appropriate engine technologies,
steel-intensive vehicles provide automakers
with greater value in meeting fuel economy
regulations and do so with significantly lower CO2 impact.
The current focus of regulations is on
MPGs and tailpipe emissions, but the pro4. Great Designs in Steel “Lightweighting and Steel Technologies in the all-new 2016 Chevrolet Malibu and 2017 Buick LaCrosse” May 2015. And http://media.buick.com/media/us/en/buick/vehicles/lacrosse/2017.html

AIST’s executive director Ronald E. Ashburn: Strength, formability, recyclability, cost make AHSS practical lightweighting solution for carmakers.
The new AHSS steel was not in your father’s Oldsmobile
Earlier this year, General Motors introduced a redesigned version of the GMC
Acadia, its popular midsized crossover
SUV. The vehicle has a number of new
safety and fuel efficiency features, such as
stop-start technology that shuts the engine
down when the driver brakes and turns it
on when the driver accelerates. But from
our perspective, the most notable thing
about the redesign is what GM left out –
700 pounds of weight.
The new Acadia is 15 percent lighter
than the 2016 model, a reduction engineers
were able to achieve partly through simple
design – it’s now 7.2 inches shorter and 3.5
inches narrower. But they also incorporated press-hardened, advanced high-strength
steels into the body structure. That allowed
certain structural parts to be made from
thinner steel, which, in turn, reduced its
curb weight. And even with thinner components, safety performance was maintained,
or even improved, over conventional materials, which we believe is the ultimate testimonial for deploying advanced steels.
This is but one example of how advanced
high-strength steels are helping automakers
create lighter, and not to mention, safer,
cars and trucks, a primary strategy in their
effort to meet increasing fuel economy standards mandated by the federal government.
The standards are ambitious, and they’ve
been the catalyst for some clever engineering, not only in how automakers design
their vehicles, but in the materials they’re
utilizing in the manufacturing process.
To meet weight-reduction targets, some
are relying heavily on aluminum alloys,
most notably Ford and its aluminum-bodied F-150 pickup. Others have adopted a
mixed-materials approach, such as BMW
and its 7-series, which uses a mix of carbon
fiber, aluminum and steel to reduce weight
and improve driving characteristics.
Indeed, automakers these days have a
menu of materials to choose from – advanced steels, aluminum, magnesium alloys, carbon fiber composites, a wide variety of plastics and resins, and structural
adhesives, among them. But all materials
are not equal, and in addition to lightweighting considerations, there are a variety of factors to consider when choosing
which to use. And cost is at the top of the
list.
Fall 2016
Additionally, engineers must consider a
material’s ability to be stylistically shaped
and the ease with which it can be joined
or welded to a dissimilar material. They
also have to take into account the degree to
which collision damage can be affordably
repaired, or even repaired at all. End-of-life
recyclability is yet another consideration.
Considering all of those -- cost, energy
intensity, ease of manufacture, maintenance, safety and environmental protection
-- advanced steels offer automakers the best
all-around light-weighting solution.
But looking at advanced steels strictly as
a lightweight material, it offers plenty of
potential. In fact, engineers could cut the
weight of a typical sedan by as much as 23
percent if they were to use only commercially available high-strength steel in place
of mild steel. If they were to incorporate advanced grades soon to be entering the market, the reduction could be even greater, as
much as 26 percent, according to estimates
from ArcelorMittal’s S-in motion program,
which encompasses its lightweight automotive steels.
As ArcelorMittal USA chief executive
John Brett said during AISTech 2016, our
annual conference and exposition, “(Steel)
can lightweight with the best of them.”
Automakers seem to agree with John,
considering that AHSS is the fastest growing automotive material, according to market researcher Ducker International. The
firm forecasts the average amount of advanced steel in North American light vehicles to rise to nearly a quarter-ton by 2025,
about double the amount used in 2014.
According to Larry Kavanagh, president
of the Steel Market Development Institute,
the increasing interest in advanced steels
arises from the fact that its light-weighting
capabilities are continuing to exceed expectations and offers design solutions that are
free of the major manufacturing cost penalties associated with other materials.

perspective: Association for Iron & Steel Technology
And even though advanced steels have
been around for several years, we’re only
beginning to unlock their light-weighting
potential.
Case in point: the U.S. Automotive Materials Partnership, in conjunction with four
steelmakers, five universities and a national
laboratory, last year developed one of the
first steels with true third-generation, advanced high-strength properties: steel that is
exceptionally strong, yet incredibly ductile.
This particular steel has a tensile strength
of about 1,200 megapascals, which means
that it can withstand 174,000 pounds of
force per square inch before failing. By
comparison, mild steel typically begins to
fail at around 250 megapascals of force.
At the same time, this third-generation
steel will stretch, or elongate, to more than
30 percent of its initial length before it
breaks. That’s important for automakers
because they need steel that can bent and
pressed into unique aerodynamic shapes
without cracking or breaking.
Separately, another company called
NanoSteel has created an advanced sheet
steel that, as it claims, has a tensile strength

Perspective: Aluminum Extruders council
There are basic strategies automakers are pursuing to improve fuel economy, Joe Golec, AEC automotive industry promotion chairman, says.
Auto market shapes opportunity in aluminum extrusion
Extrusions are not really that new in automotive applications. The Ford GT, introduced in 2004, featured an extrusion-based
chassis. Go back further and you’ll find the
U.S. Postal Service’s LLV (long life vehicle)
made extensive use of extrusions in its body
and chassis from its introduction in 1987.
(Okay, you’re thinking that’s more truck
than auto … but maybe it should be viewed
as a very early, crude, crossover. However
you look at the LLV, they still represent
about 75% of the USPS fleet). And if we really want to look backward, the first sports
car featuring an aluminum body (albeit likely without extrusions) was unveiled at the
Berlin International Motor Show in 1899.
ergy consumption and limit the production
of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses. Currently, the 54.5 mpg target is undergoing a
“mid-term evaluation” that was baked into
the process when the targets were originally
set. While the outcome of that review will
not be final until early 2018, speakers at a
recent Bloomberg Government/Aluminum
Association forum on the topic seemed positive that the target was still realistic – despite
the fact that the challenge increases as we
approach the 2025 deadline. One speaker
acknowledged that the improvement in
fuel economy thus far has been helped by
“low-hanging fruit” … but also noted: “the
technology tree has (also) grown new low-

hanging fruit” in the past couple years. In
fact 6 of the 10 most popular vehicles today
already meet 2020 standards!
There are three basic strategies that auto
makers are pursuing to generate fuel economy improvement. Way back in 2012, Ducker
Worldwide, a consultancy expert in the
area, posited that about half of the needed
improvement would come from enhancements to existing technology – more efficient
power trains, improved aerodynamics, etc.
Hence the start-stop engine management and
9-speed transmissions recently introduced.
Another 35 percent of the efficiency gain
was expected from alternative drive systems
– electric vehicles like Tesla’s Model S, and
hybrids like Toyota’s Prius. The remaining
15 percent improvement was expected from
“lightweighting” with weight reduction contributing 3-6 miles per gallon of improved
efficiency.
It’s all about CAFE … or is it?
Cafe—or Corporate Average Fuel Economy—is certainly a major factor behind increasing extrusion content in autos. Under
current regulations, by 2025, U.S. automakers will need to achieve fleet fuel economy of
54.5 miles per gallon to avoid government
penalties - currently $55 but reportedly increasing to $140 - for each mpg shortfall
per car. That’s a 75% improvement over the
2014 fleet performance of 31.6 mpg. The
2025 target was established by the Environmental Protection Agency and the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration
(NHTSA) in 2012 to both curtail U.S. en10 American Metal Market
Fall 2016
Unfortunately, the consumer hasn’t
behaved as hoped, so the equation has
changed. Consumers are buying fewer alternative drive-train vehicles, have increased
their purchases of SUV’s and pick-ups and
have demanded more (weight-contributing)
safety, infotainment and other amenity systems. As a result, Ducker now estimates
that an additional 140 pounds of weight
reduction will be required to meet the 2025
targets.
So, ongoing, aggressive weight reduction
is essential, giving rise to the auto engineering mantra of one gram less, every day. And
with a density one-third that of steel, aluminum – and aluminum extrusion -is poised
to be a key factor in the weight-reduction
equation.
But extrusion offers OEMs more than
weight reduction. Engineers are finding
that extrusions contribute to vehicle performance in a number of ways. Extrusion designers can “put the metal where it’s needed”
allowing production of multi-hollow shapes
with excellent, predictable, energy absorption. Cadillac’s new CT6 utilizes such shapes
as front crush elements, while Tesla cites the
use of “deep aluminum extrusions” in the
Model S’ side rail as a key to their outstanding performance in NHTSA’s side pole impact test.
Further, vehicle engineers are finding that
the combination of reduced weight, especially above the belt line and in the front
of the vehicle, with a stiffer structure that
extrusions facilitate, provides handling improvements – a key objective with the CT6,
targeted at German road machines such as
Audi’s A6 and BMW’s 5 series.
The Opportunity for Extrusion
Put these demands – lightweighting and
improved performance – together and they
lead to an outstanding opportunity for aluminum extrusion. In their 2012 analysis,
Ducker predicted an increase in extrusion
usage from around 25 pounds per vehicle
to almost 50 by 2025. The increase for one
type of extrusions, extruded shapes (as opposed to extruded rod, bar, pipe and tube
– whose auto applications are more mature)
was predicted to be even more dramatic,
increasing from about 14 pounds per vehicle to over 38. With no increase in vehicle
builds, the Ducker prediction would mean
www.amm.com
Perspective: Aluminum Extruders council
over 300 million pounds per year of aluminum extrusions destined for North American vehicle production by 2025.
The intervening years have shown that
Ducker was on the right track. The AEC
estimates that since 2012, per vehicle usage
of extrusion in North America has increased
by over 20 percent and of extruded shapes
by over one third.
While the landmark Ford F-150, with its
industry-leading production volume and
its extensive use of extrusion (estimated
at around 50 pounds/truck) obviously accounts for a substantial amount of extrusion
growth, it’s only part of the story. Take the
F-150 out of the equation and those growth
percentages only drop by a point or two.
Look at new vehicles, and you’ll find extrusions everywhere. Extrusions are being
used in the chassis and body structure, as
on the CT6, Tesla, and F-150. Acura’s new
NSX supercar employs an instrument panel
support structure (among other extrusion
applications) constructed of multiple extrusions, while Mercedes SUV’s have switched
some exterior trim from steel to aluminum
extrusion, and the company’s roadsters
utilize a floor assembly comprised of extrusions. Tesla’s forthcoming model 3 will
reportedly utilize a multi-material architecture – akin to that of the CT6 -- with front
and rear extrusion-based crash management
structure, as well as side protection beams.
Today, you’ll find extrusions used as chassis
structure, trim members, instrument panel
structures, roof support rails, engine mounts
and steering column brackets, bumper
beams, suspension elements, seat frames and
rails, engine cradles, electronics housings,
sun roof mechanisms – even under the hood
as supercharger components.
Getting from here to there
Capitalizing on this opportunity and satisfying the auto industry demand for extrusions
is not trivial, however. When the AEC examined the challenge several years ago, three
major issues were apparent: competency,
capacity and collaboration/education.
Competency: The automakers are demanding customers, requiring extensive
engineering support, zero-defect quality, certifications, linked business systems, robust
financial strength and the patience to work
through multi-year program development
and launch timelines. From the beginning of
their efforts to mount a strong automotive
initiative the AEC followed two distinctly
different missions: 1) - To bring the auto inwww.amm.com
dustry the resources that they would need
and 2) - To ensure that member extruders
were fully aware of the challenges of serving
that industry. The Council believed it was
critical that extruders not pursue the auto
market unaware or underprepared; such action would only lead to failures and a black
eye for the industry. Today, the number of
extruders focused on and active in the auto
industry is still modest; the AEC’s Automotive Industry Promotion Team today consists of 8 members with about 35 facilities
around North America, with another two or
three non-AEC extruders who are also involved in automotive.
Capacity: An additional 300 million
pounds of automotive extrusion per year
potentially posed a major capacity challenge, especially considering that significant

use in popular vehicles.
capacity had been eliminated in 2007-2010,
a result of the devastating recession and a
flood of Chinese imports. However, with a
“level playing field” assured as a result of
the imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Chinese imports, the
industry has moved aggressively to add the
needed capacity. From 2014 through 2017,
AEC estimates that at least 11 new extrusion presses have been, or are being, put in
place dedicated to the auto industry. That
investment, which includes significant additional fabrication (machining, bending,
etc.) equipment, totals in the range of $250
million, and adds over 200 million pounds/
year of automotive extrusion capacity. There
is still a ways to go to get to the potential
300 million pounds, but it’s clear that North
American extruders are stepping up.
Collaboration/education: One of the first
actions of the AEC Auto Team when founded in late 2012 was to commission Ducker
to assess OEM/Tier 1 attitudes toward extrusion and to identify barriers to realizing
extrusion’s automotive potential. Their basic finding: “there’s lots of potential, but you
need to step it up.” In other words: more
technical resources, case histories about
applications to stretch engineers’ thinking,
guidelines on design optimization, tighter
tolerances, advances in joining (given likely
multi-material construction) more 7xxx alloys. With that input, a major commitment
was made to education. AEC collaborated
with the Aluminum Association and European Aluminum Association to develop a
joining manual documenting state-of-theart approaches to joining various forms of
aluminum, as well as aluminum to other
materials. The Council developed a series
of webinars, hosted by SAE, which have exposed over a thousand design engineers to
the potential, application and practicalities
of extrusion, finding that many engineers –
with steel backgrounds – lack comfort – or
understanding - of the alloy/geometry tradeoffs possible with extrusion. One major
message that the Council stresses is that inuse performance desired from 7xxx alloys
can be achieved with the right geometry of
more-easily processed (hence less expensive)
6xxx metal. The Council, and its members,
have taken the same message directly to engineers at the OEMs and Tier 1s through extensive involvement in auto-industry events.
AEC member Sapa has also recently opened
a Detroit- area Research & Development
facility, dedicated to automotive, with an investment of $3+ million.
So What’s Next?
Looking forward, extruders remain optimistic. Advances in steels will pose a competitive challenge. But as engineers increasingly
appreciate how to effectively design with
extrusion, we’re confident that the unique
ability to design multiple functionalities into
a custom extrusion profile will allow extrusion to remain cost neutral, or better, as additional weight is shaved from future vehicles.
Continuing advances in joining technology,
especially in welding steel to aluminum (e.g.:
friction-stir aluminum-steel welding, GM’s
new advanced spot welding as used on the
CT6) will also facilitate additional extrusion
use in the multi-material vehicle architectures that are likely to dominate.
In the end, the combination of aluminum’s light weight, high strength-to-weight
ratio, corrosion resistance and extrusion’s
ability to produce complex shapes, incorporate multiple functions, with the mass
where it’s needed should lead to greater
market penetration and the potential that
was envisioned.

The aluminum industry is focused on automaker-centric solutions to help facilitate a new wave of mobility options, ATG’s Doug Richman says.
Aluminum Association’s ATG helps drive lightweighting
When it comes to manufacturing, technology, design and materials, there is no silver
bullet to help automakers meet the proposed 2025 fuel economy and emissions
targets, but one thing is clear. Reducing
vehicle weight—without reducing vehicle
safety and size—will be vital. That’s just one
of the key takeaways from the recent draft
Technical Assessment Report issued as part
of the United States’ Midterm Evaluation
of 2022-2025 light-duty vehicle standards.
Issued by U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration and California Air Resources Board, the report recognizes aluminum as an important part of the strategy to
reduce weight, in concert with powertrain
and other advances to meet 2025 objectives
safely and affordably.
Fall 2016
Our goals are not only to help automakers comply with
increasingly more stringent regulations, but to go beyond
and help facilitate a new wave of mobility options that are
lighter, safer, greener and higher performing.
Accelerated Growth
Multi-material vehicles are prevalent today
with more to come. Vehicles from leading
automakers, including the Cadillac CT6,
BMW i3, Audi A8, Jaguar F-Pace and Ford
F-150 make that clear. Engineers and designers themselves confirmed during a
2015 survey conducted by WardsAuto and
DuPont Automotive that aluminum is the
single strongest material option for helping the industry reach the 2025 federal fuel
economy and emissions targets.
In support of that imperative, the aluminum industry is focused on automakercentric solutions. Our goals are not only to
help automakers comply with increasingly
more stringent regulations, but to go beyond and help facilitate a new wave of mobility options that are lighter, safer, greener
and higher performing. Aluminum is delivering on that promise in four distinct ways:
Aluminum is Delivering
Automakers need materials that can deliver

significant mass reduction while ensuring
passenger safety, cost-effectiveness and
environmental sustainability. Aluminum
delivers in every category, better than any
other material. Aluminum is approximately
one-third the weight of steel, so parts can
be made thicker and stronger while still reducing vehicle weight. When aluminum is
applied holistically to a vehicle, the reduction in body weight allows for secondary
weight savings in other areas that wouldn’t
otherwise be attainable, such as a downsized engine and lighter suspension and
brakes.
Aluminum not only helps save consumers’ money at the gas pump but helps
automakers deliver cars and trucks that
are safer, greener and better performing.
The most prevalent example of this is the
breakthrough aluminum-bodied F-150.
The pickup is lighter and safer—earning 5-Stars from NHTSA over the 4-Star
rated steel-bodied truck it replaced—and
offers increased payload and towing capacity, higher fuel economy and lower
emissions than its predecessor. Top aluminum companies worked together, alongside Ford, to create what now stands as
a watershed vehicle for the automotive
industry. Aluminum simply builds a better
vehicle.
Aluminum is Innovating
Aluminum companies and our automotive
customers are pioneering holistic technology packages with advanced alloys, some
of which include military-grade alloys that
have now migrated to the automotive industry. These new alloy technologies are
designed to deliver highly differentiated
aluminum sheet that is stronger, lighter
and more formable than today’s automotive aluminum. The industry also took big
steps forward with advances in surface
treatment systems, lubrication and joining
technologies.
Moreover, as concerns about climate
change are addressed in every industrialized region of the world, aluminum’s inherent sustainability advantages play a vital
role in helping to decrease life cycle carbon emissions. From helping automakers
trail blaze closed-loop recycling techniques
to expanding use of hydroelectric power
sources for aluminum production to more
than 80 percent, aluminum’s overall value
to modern society is being recognized as
automakers look for new ways to conserve
resources, energy and money.

Aluminum is Investing
The incredible materials evolution that is
underway in the auto industry is happening
even faster than predicted. As an industry,
we continue to invest in new and updated
facilities to accommodate our customers’
capacity needs today and tomorrow. Since
2013, U.S. plant expansions and planned
investments totaling more than $2.6 billion
have been announced to keep pace with the
demand from the auto industry for years
to come.
Aluminum is Growing
Automakers understand that aluminum is
the most cost-effective way to achieve the
significant mass reduction necessary to
meet fuel economy and emissions targets.
Several reports, including those from Ducker Worldwide and WardsAuto, signal intentions of automotive engineers and designers to increase their use of aluminum as the
preferred material to help meet 2025 targets. By 2020, every OEM will have more
than one aluminum-intensive closure sheet
program. As aluminum’s market share
grows, the next frontier is in doors, hoods,
trunks and full body structures. With aluminum’s ascension, consumers are benefiting from safe, durable and high-performing
cars and trucks that use less fuel and reduce
carbon emissions.
Around the Bend
Aluminum is driving many things these
days: performance, safety, alloy innovations and investments—to name a few—all
in support of automakers as they innovate
to design and develop fuel-efficient vehicles
that consumers want to drive, without sacrificing safety, affordability or performance.
It’s a multi-material world, where a
single material will no longer dominate.
Combined with powertrain and other technology advancements, aluminum is vital to
the development of tomorrow’s mobility
solutions. As automakers continue to reach
new limits, the aluminum industry is with
them every step of the way.
The road ahead for aluminum is bright…
but so too is the road for next generation
vehicles and the consumers who drive
them. Everyone wins when cars and trucks
are lighter, safer and drive farther on a gallon of gas.
