Description
Hybrix™ is a very thin (1 - 2 mm) stainless steel micro-sandwich. The material is hollow and contains air and millions of microscopic steel fibres that bind the surfaces together. The unique structure of the individual steel fibres makes the material strong and light (1.5-3.9 kg/m²). The material weighs less than half as much as conventional stainless steel sheets and is formable using a conventional metal press or hydro forming tools. Moreover, it can be shaped and bent for more creative freedom, particularly for the design of portable consumer goods.
