The fast track to material innovations
The SSAB Trial Material Stock Center is a unique service in the steel industry: We deliver AHSS/UHSS sheets, coils and custom lengths, even in letter size, to nearly anywhere in the world. In 1 to 2 weeks, your Docol® AHSS/UHSS samples are ready for dispatch. Our stocking program gives you quick access to AHSS trial materials, so you can work it, test it, inspect it, try out new production methods, and accelerate your time to market.
AHSS samples in the exact form you need
The Docol material stock program includes cold-rolled, cold-rolled electrogalvanized, metal-coated and hot-rolled pickled AHSS/UHSS steel grades. Sheets range from A4 (letter size) to 4 meters (13.1 feet). Slit AHSS trial samples come in widths of 9 mm and higher, and coils range from one metric ton to full size.
We supply many AHSS/UHSS steel grades, including many made to VDA and OEM standards.
