Hyundai Steel Launches High-Strength Steel Brand ULTREX (ULTREX)

[Asia Economy Reporter So-yeon Park] Hyundai Steel has introduced ULTREX, a high-strength steel brand with excellent strength and formability, to the market. ULTREX is a high-strength steel sheet brand that means "strong steel resistant to external impact."

The newly launched ULTREX is an ultra-high-strength steel optimized as a core material for characteristics required by automotive inner and outer panels, structural materials, and chassis parts, just as its name implies, strong against impact.

The steel grades included in ULTREX consist of 31 types used in major automotive parts such as center pillars and front bumper beams, including four types of third-generation steel sheets currently under development.

The biggest feature of ULTREX is that it is strong yet has excellent formability. When applied to automotive materials, it can absorb impact to ensure driver safety while allowing processing into various shapes according to design, making it suitable for use in various structural materials and parts.

A Hyundai Steel official stated, "We will actively promote the differentiated characteristics and technological capabilities of Hyundai Steel's high-strength steel through ULTREX," adding, "We will actively participate in supplying materials and developing platforms for future eco-friendly vehicles such as hydrogen and electric cars to lead the mobility materials industry."

Hyundai Steel launched the wear-resistant steel brand WEAREX last November, and with the introduction of ULTREX, it plans to strengthen customer marketing through establishing a naming system and branding for major high-performance steel products such as corrosion-resistant steel and high-formability steel in the future.
