Flash® Bainite Processing creates the world's highest performing, room temperature weldable armor plate as validated by US Army Labs. Initially a defense technology but now migrated to civilian uses, Flash Processing transforms low cost, plain carbon steel (AISI10xx) to extremely strong, highly bendable sheet for Automotive forming operations. Flash 1600 (mpa) has been room temperature stamped to 0T/1T bend radii in complex geometries. Recent Flash® parts include 1600MPa B-pillars, roof rails, floor reinforcements, seating components, and many other structrural components. With a low CEV of only 0.30, Flash 1600 is readily weldable by spot, laser, and GMAW.
