ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks Americas produces 3 millionth door ring

ArcelorMittal Tailored Blanks (AMTB) Detroit is celebrating the production of 3 million laser-welded steel door rings for AMTB’s Americas region. The company will host a celebration July 1 at the Detroit facility to mark the milestone.

A laser-welded door ring serves as a critical part of a vehicle’s safety cage, protecting both the driver and passengers, and replaces conventional multipiece, spot-welded designs. The ability to weld together various grades of advanced steels into a single vehicle component improves performance and safety, supports lightweighting goals, and helps reduce overall production costs for the automaker, the company states.

Contributing facilities to this milestone are AMTB Detroit, AMTB Pioneer (Ohio), AMTB Woodstock (Ontario), and AMTB Concord (Ontario).
