Explanation of bar and wire rod materials for automobiles in relation to changing user needs is given. Automobiles must not only fulfill the technical potential of their function as transport, but must also harmonize with society and be constructed with responsibility concerning environmental issues. To overcome these problems, various bar and wire rod materials have been developed, including technology to assist the drawing and forging processes. Increasing demand for cost reduction has brought a need to eliminate whole processes. Development trends for cost reducing materials such as micro-alloy and cold forging materials are mentioned. When developing parts, the combination of material and process development is now very important. Examples of such methods are also explained (Table 2 is a interesting compilation of the technological achievements) (The Japanese version of this paper was printed in Sumitomo Kinzoku 48 (1996) 4, 35-48)
