Applications

Shock Absorbers

ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products supplies both cold-finished and cold-drawn precision tubes used in the manufacturing of shock absorbers (inner tubes, outer tubes, third tubes, tubes for piston, rod and rings). Consistent high quality and service, together with our expertise, make ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products the leading tube supplier to all the major shock absorbers producers in Europe.

Chassis and Suspension

We deliver tubes and components to the automotive markets for various tubular chassis applications like trailing arms, reinforcement, twist beams and parts of rear cradles. ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products has developed its own generic solutions for sub-assemblies. This includes rear and front cradles, battery pack applications and rear axles.

With many years of experience in manufacturing tubes for hydroforming, ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products can provide solutions offering the optimum choice in terms of deformability and expected performance.

Crash Components

ArcelorMittal Europe Tubular Products has a proven track record and expertise around crash management components like front lower crash extenders and stiffeners. We offer customized R&D services ranging from blueprint, co-development or full development and design of parts, crash behaviour simulations and validations.

Seats

Our production sites supply cold-finished precision tubes with or without heat-treatment for seat applications. In a wide range of steel grades, we supply tubes for structures, end forming and head rest applications.

Stabilizer bars

ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products supplies both cold-finished and cold-drawn precision tubes used in the manufacturing of stabilizer bars offering significant weight advantages over solid bar solutions. A wide range of material grades are available in boron and boron equivalent steels offering high levels of mechanical properties to meet customer specifications. Our tubular solutions are delivered with a low decarburization content which improves the fatigue life performance of stabilizer bars.

IP beams

ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products offers a complete range of tubes for cross-car beam applications. Available with additional specialized services including laser cutting, profiling and welding.

Steering columns

We supply cold-finished and cold-drawn precision tubes for steering column applications with highly accurate dimensional and surface finish tolerances. Tubes for these applications are available in round or octagonal sections.

Body-In-White and battery protection

ArcelorMittal Europe - Tubular Products supplies welded cold-finished precision tubes in different shapes and steel grades to meet the highest safety and structural requirements of body-in-white and battery pack applications. Tubes in high strength steel ensure optimized weight, cost benefits and CO2 emissions reduction.
