FORMTUBE® SS Performs for Meyer Shank Racing

The FORMTUBE® Family of Formable Tube Products developed by Cleveland-Cliffs Tubular Components is designed for high performance in demanding automotive and heavy truck applications.  There is no more demanding environment than the world of professional racecar driving, where Cleveland-Cliffs serves as the official steel partner for INDYCAR racing organization Meyer Shank Racing (MSR).

Collaborating on Design

Cleveland-Cliffs Tubular Components and MSR have been leveraging the Company’s thin wall, High Chrome Stainless Steel tube making capabilities to MSR’s advantage. For example, the teams have been collaborating on all new, High Chrome, custom-designed “shop mufflers” for the INDYCAR’s driven by MSR championship drivers Helio Castroneves and Simon Pagenaud.

Winning Results

Used to reduce noise levels during maintenance, the new shop mufflers are 30% lighter, and their High Chrome content defends well against heat tint.  The results are greater durability and easier handling, eliminating muffler oxidation and improving ergonomics for a hard-working crew of racecar technicians.

Matching Excellent Products with Excellent Customer Service

The MSR partnership is just one example of Cleveland-Cliffs Tubular Components’ trademark approach -- matching excellent products with excellent customer service.  Whether a nationally-known INDYCAR racing team or a Tier 1 Automotive supplier, we regard every customer as unique, going the extra mile to establish a mutually-beneficial relationship.   We take the time to learn about our customers’ business processes and use our engineering expertise to adapt our production methods to our customers’ needs.

What do you want protecting your BEV?

C-STAR™ Protection Is an Innovative Vehicle Structure Steel Solution

Modern vehicles use a variety of structural components to protect passengers and internal systems. In the event of a collision, you want the structural components to absorb energy and/or deform in a controlled and predictable way.

Cliffs’ Steel Tubes As Reinforcement – known as C-STAR™ protection ─ when used in combination with structural components, contributes to the ability for structural components to absorb energy and/or deform in a more controlled and predictable way.

A C-STAR structure may be used in electric, hybrid, or ICE vehicles as reinforcements in rocker panels to protect passengers and/or batteries from a side-impact collision. C-STAR protection may also be used to protect motors, engines, electrical components, passenger compartments, storage compartments, and any area in a vehicle where this design is implemented.

Benefits

  • Cost-efficiency and Sustainability
  • Scalability to meet different performance requirements
  • Manufacturability
  • Less product design space requirement
