phs-ultraform®

The original for galvanized, press-hardened components produced through indirect hot forming.

phs-ultraform® combines the benefits of press-hardened components with the high-quality corrosion resistance of galvanized steel strip. The hot-dip galvanized boron steel was specially developed by voestalpine and the indirect hot forming process optimized by the company permit light-weight construction of a new dimension with regard to freedom of design, dimensional accuracy and process security.

Steel strips

Hot-dip galvanized steel strip

Hot-dip galvanized steel made by voestalpine is characterized by high corrosion resistance, excellent working properties and a wide spectrum of applications.

Hot-dip galvanized steel strip

An excellent all-rounder

Hot-dip galvanized steel made by voestalpine is characterized by high corrosion resistance, high-quality appearance, excellent working properties and a wide spectrum of applications. The portfolio of steel grades ranges from super deep-drawing grades to grades with highest strengths (advanced high-strength steels). Depending on customer requirements, voestalpine supplies a comprehensive range of available widths and thicknesses with tailor-made metallic coatings. A variety of surface finishing treatments also make it possible to extend the range of applications. voestalpine supplies high-strength steels with unique exposed-panel quality and offers a ZF coating for this purpose. The world's only hot-dip galvanized press-hardening steels made by voestalpine round off the extensive portfolio.

Materials for cold forming

Mild steels
Structural steels
Micro-alloyed steels
Bake-hardening steels
High-strength IF steels
Carbon-manganese steels
Martensitic steels
Dual-phase steels
Dual-phase high-ductility steels
Complex-phase steels
Complex-phase high-ductility steels

Some steel grades are available as galvanized hot-rolled strip:

Hot-rolled low-alloyed or microalloyed steels
Hot-rolled ferritic-bainitic steels
Hot-rolled complex-phase steels

Materials for hot forming

Press-hardening steels for hot forming are available in various strengths and are coated with zinc or zinc-iron. Best crash behavior, high dimensional accuracy and very good joining properties are the hallmarks of components made of these materials.

Metallic coatings

Zinc (Z) for applications subject to average corrosion (galvanized)
Zinc-iron (ZF) for corrosion protection with highest weldability requirements (galvannealed)
Zinc-magnesium (ZM) for best cathodic corrosion protection (corrender)

Metallic coatings Z and ZM are available with normal (N) and small spangles (M). The surface of zinc-iron coating is spangle-free. Upon customer request, voestalpine supplies different zinc coatings per side (differential galvanizing).

corrender is the high-performance zinc-magnesium-aluminum coating made by voestalpine.

This surface treatment provides excellent corrosion protection and processability, offering a high-performance alternative to conventional protective coatings for hot-dip galvanized steel strip. Corrender has been supplied in series since 2007, and voestalpine has established comprehensive product know-how and expertise in this area.

Coating	Thickness/mm	Width max./mm	Coating
Z and GI	0.45 – 4.00	1730	Z70 - Z600
ZF and GA	0.45 – 2.30	1730	ZF70 - ZF140
ZM (corrender)	0.45 – 2.30	1730	ZM90 - ZM200

"At the Linz site, we manufacture a very extensive product mix in five different hot-dip galvanizing lines. We apply zinc coatings in various surface qualities on mild to high-strength steel grades. Our team of specialists meets the challenge with a high level of commitment and quality awareness every single day. We set the standards with additional chromium-free and environmentally friendly treatments such as clearcover® or multiface®.

Maximilian Kaiser, Main Process Manager, Hot-dip Galvanizing

Surface quality

As-coated surface (A)
Improved surface (unexposed and B)
Best surface (exposed or C) for special requirements such as exposed panels (IF steels) in the automotive industry for additional benefits:
Minimum waviness
High contour sharpness in reflections
Also for ZM (corrender coatings)
Optimum forming properties
Efficient painting

Design for Z and ZM	Mean roughness value Ra [µm]
Standard	0.6 – 1.9
Roughness: especially smooth	0.5 max.
Roughness: smooth	0.9 max.
Special option: half matt	0.7 – 1.3
Special option: matt	1.3 – 1.9

Numerous functional surfaces

Functional surfaces additionally improve the existing product properties in comparison to the high-quality base material and provides solutions to special applications:

Anti-fingerprint (multiface®) for the household appliance and construction industries
Chemical passivation and/or corrosion protection oils protect against white rust formation and are free of chromium. (clearcover®)
Forming aids such as a phosphating or passivation layer
Optimized tribology and excellent oil distribution (prelube2)

Further processing

Hot-dip galvanized steel strips available in a wide range of widths and lengths:

Wide strip
Slit strip (slit)
Cut-to-length sheets
Blanks

Supply pursuant to EN 10346 and VDA 239100 Deviations upon agreement.
