Dogal 1000 DPX is an ultra high strength steel that is hot-dip galvanized for corrosion protection.

Dogal DPX grades are dual phase steels that contain ferrit, which is soft and contributes to good formability, and martensite, which is hard and contributes to the strength of the material.

Generally DPX steels are easy to coldform and excellent for stretch forming and roll forming.

Compared to normal dual phase steels the DPX steels have improved formability properties especiallt at bending and are superior at reverse bending operations.

Ultra high strength steels can be used for example in the automotive and transport industry. Dogal 1000 DPX is especially favourable for safty details when the need for high energy absorption is required. The improved bendability properties makes more complicated design solutions possible. Strength can be increased and weight can be saved by replacing mild steels with extra and ultra high strength grades.
