Fabrik in Auto sector
Our commitment goes beyond meeting customer needs; it’s about propelling the automotive industry forward through our products and services. Recognizing the automotive industry’s significance as a vital driver of the economy, we have established a dedicated strategic business unit – automotive (SBU-A). This vertical, within our marketing department, takes a holistic approach, envisioning the sector’s long-term future as we continue to focus on its growth and development.
BENEFITS
At Fabrik, we empower our customers to shape the future. Our Motor Steel is a specialized cold-rolled sheet product meticulously engineered to optimize the performance of electromagnetic core materials in electrical equipment components. These steels are designed to minimize energy losses, ensuring efficient utilization of electrical energy input into motors.
FEATURES
Our motor lamination sheets are meticulously cold-rolled below their recrystallization temperature, offering precise control over product shape, thickness, dimensions, and surface finish. We produce a variety of steel grades, with each grade primarily differentiated by its specific Core Loss requirement. These grades are provided in a semi-processed, unannealed state and must undergo annealing after punching the laminations to unlock their optimal magnetic properties.
BENEFITS
Home appliances are more than an essential part of our homes. They’re an essential part of life. VITRENEMEL Steel optimize the application of porcelain or vitreous enamel coatings and are manufactured with specialized properties that can achieve both good formability and enhanced aesthetics. Our steel products are cold rolled, producing a high quality finished surface to exceed our customers’ requirements.
FEATURES
Fabrik Steel produces three grades of steel that optimize the application of porcelain (or vitreous) enamel coatings that resist fish-scaling during the enameling process, resist carbon boil during enameling, and provide the sag resistance needed during the firing process.
All VITRENEMEL grades typically are furnished with a rough matte finish to improve adhesion of the enamel coating. The approximate surface roughness is 55 to 90 micro-inches. A rougher surface finish, 90 to 150 micro-inches, can be provided if required for a specific application.
The dimensional tolerances for VITRENEMEL Steel Sheet products are the same as those for Cold Rolled Steel Sheet as established by ASTM.
BENEFITS
Cold-rolled full hard unprocessed sheet by Fabrik Steel is the option to choose for applications that require very limited bending and/or roll-forming.Supplied directly from the cold-reduction mill without any annealing to soften the steel, our full hard sheet is highly work-hardened and exhibits a high resistance to denting, with only minimal ductility. The hardness is Rockwell B 84 minimum.
FEATURES
Since the product is supplied directly after cold rolling without further processing, our full hard cold-rolled unprocessed sheet is not subject to the same product standards that have been established for other cold-rolled sheet products.We provide it with a matte or smooth surface finish produced on the cold reduction mill.

DEDICATED TO INNOVATION
The Fabrik Automotive Center was established with a singular purpose: to provide specialized material and application expertise to assist our automotive customers. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and backed by decades of experience, our commitment is to aid automotive engineers in assessing potential applications and addressing the current challenges and opportunities, such as cost savings, weight reduction, formability, crash energy management, and material availability.
Lightweight Integrated Components
Stainless steel’s reputation for lightweight strength makes it a preferred material choice in various automotive applications. It excels in parts crucial for a car’s performance, including the fuel tank, chassis, and even the bumper.
Additionally, stainless steel is crucial in crafting numerous small components like tubes, brackets, springs, clamps, flanges, and other intricate parts. These more minor elements support the vehicle, connect components, and form the car’s overall structure.
Car Frame
Stainless steel seamlessly blends durability and elasticity, making car frames crafted from this material possess similar strength to many other metal alloys while also being notably lighter. Opting for stainless steel translates to a robust yet lightweight frame, considered one of the most effective supports for a vehicle.
In rigorous testing of austenitic stainless steel grades, the material’s hardening rate was observed to correlate with the deformation rate. In the context of automobiles, stainless steel can absorb more force compared to the typical structural steel often utilized.
Corrosion Resistant Parts
Stainless steel is essential for vehicles, offering corrosion resistance in the face of dirt and adverse weather conditions. It’s a top choice for parts like exhaust systems, which are prone to corrosion, and it currently makes up roughly half of all exhaust systems manufactured. Although less common, stainless steel can also be used for parts like wheels and the lower car structure, reflecting a commitment to higher-quality, long-lasting vehicles.
