Automotive

The automotive industry designs and manufactures vehicles that must be lighter, stronger, safer, and more fuel-efficient while meeting tight cost and production-volume targets.

Weight reduction, crash performance, and corrosion resistance are constant priorities.

Westgate supplies temper-rolled stainless coil (301, 302, 304, 316) for springs, clips, trim, and exhaust components, high-strength aluminium extrusions (6063, 6082, 5754) for battery enclosures and chassis parts, and nickel/titanium grades for EV powertrains.

Utility ferritic stainless 1.4003 (3CR12) is used in chassis brackets, underbody protection, and transport frames for its excellent weldability and abrasion resistance.
