Bumper Reinforcements for Automobiles

Kobe Steel’s aluminum bumper reinforcements have a proven production track record, spanning more than 30 years since 1992 (and since 2017 in North America). To date, a cumulative total of more than 8 million units have been delivered in Japan and the U.S. combined.
Our aluminum bumper systems are made of high-strength 7000-series aluminum alloys and provide structures that satisfy the needs of customers for collision performance and design layouts, contributing to the weight reduction of automobiles.

Features

  • We developed a high-strength alloy with excellent bendability and corrosion resistance (30% lighter than high-tensile strength steel bumpers).
  • We can offer optimum alloys, cross-sectional shapes, and formed shapes to meet the required properties such as collision performance and vehicle design.
