Automotive
While delivering the power and performance the market demands, the Nickel and Cobalt alloys solutions are ushering in a new generation of smaller, lighter engines that don’t compromise on power and meet the automotive industry's evolving requirements. They also contribute to the reduction of polluting emissions and play a key role in the technical solutions that enable electric vehicles.

Airbags
- Thanks to their specific properties, alloys are used in many of the car's functionalities, such as cigarette lighters, various electronics, the steering wheel and airbags. They are key to ensuring a quality design that meets local and international safety standards and the specifications of automotive manufacturers
CVT (Continuous-Variable-Transmission-Belt)
- Maraging steels are used in CVT transmissions, where mechanical properties, fatigue resistance, formability and weldability are necessary to ensure the requested long lifespan.
Exhaust System
- Thanks to their excellent resistance to high temperature in terms of mechanical properties and corrosion resistance in harsh environments, Superalloys are currently used in exhaust systems where higher and higher temperatures can be observed.
Heat Exchangers
- For heat exchanger manufacturers, clad materials offer a cost effective solution for use in a variety of self-brazing applications. In such applications, these composite materials are formed and assembled in a manner that allows for the base material to become a structural or functional components in a heat exchanger. These clad material simplify the manufacturing of the heat exchanger. Typical clad product by ICS for heat exchangers include: Copper/Stainless in 6/94 layer ratio and Copper/Stainless/Copper in 12/82/6.
Injectors
- Magnetic actuators are always pushing the limits to reach higher speeds, higher power and/or lower mass or volume. The injection needles used in fuel injectors benefit from the Iron Cobalt grades ability to work with high fuel pressure in a small place with efficient dynamics and high electrical resistance.
Torque Sensors
- Alloys are used in the manufacturing of torque sensors for electric power steering (EPS). High permeability, low coercivity force and saturation induction are the desired properties.
Valves and Fasteners
- An extensive range of grades are available to meet the request for high corrosion resistant alloys combined with high temperature resistant properties.
