ACCRA™
Formed-in strength.
ACCRA™ proprietary form-blow-hardening technology is ideal for producing complex hollow-profile structures that are ultra-strong, yet lightweight.
Multimatic produces over two million SORB tubes per year, including for the North American Ford Ranger.
Door Beams
Roof Structures
Both the the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator feature an exposed ACCRA™ Sport Bar — manufactured by Multimatic.
Impact Beams
Roof Structures
ACCRA™ structures achieve 1500+ MPa strength and are well-suited for products requiring:
1
High structural performance (comparable to hot stamping/PHS) within tight packaging constraints
2
Light weight, without the cost of exotic materials
3
Closed-section assemblies with no heat-affected zones
4
Aggressive bends, sweeps or indents with dimensional stability and accuracy over long parts
5
Variability based on profile cut length
