During the past ten years, Japanese automobile steel sheets have made great development both in quality and in quantity. In the background of such development is the remarkable progress of press-forming technologies. It is expected that the press-forming technologies will become increasingly important in the future. The present paper outlines the application of high-strength steel sheets for car weight reduction and higher car body strength and the use of higher corrosion resistant steel sheets for longer life. The paper also describes the die-making technologies and formability prediction technologies which have recently made remarkable progress in Japan.
