Advanced high strength steels have been developed using micro alloying and continuous annealing or other thermo-mechanical processing techniques.
One example is Twinning Induced Plasticity (TWIP) steel which are designed to absorb more energy in a crash while maintaining strength and stability.
Dual Phase steels (DPS) have two –phase microstructures that provide high strength and formability.
Use of cast aluminium alloys for engine blocks has significantly reduced weight.
Wrought magnesium alloys also offer good strength and low density combination.
A wide variety of plain and reinforced thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics are used for components.
Some of the materials are Epoxy, carbon fibre, polypropylene(PP), wood fibre, jute-polyester composite, advanced high strength steel (AHSS), etc.
