phs-scalefree® is the first hot-forming steel up to 2000 MPa with a thin zinc coating. Components were used in the SLIMulations to compare the originally used steels with phs-scalefree® and corresponding crash tests simulated. The baseline represents a 5-star-safety mid-size car (source: NCAP).
| Component | Originally used steel | Weight savings in % | voestalpine grade |
| B pillar | phs-1500 | -10 % | phs-scalefree 2000 |
| Roof frame | phs-1500 | -10 % | phs-scalefree 2000 |
