Selection of materials
Despite the threat of other materials, steel sheet maintains a prominent role. Steel plate remains a principal material for construction of bodywork of a car Main characteristics of the automotive plate must be achieved implementing steel plates, aluminum or elements of lightweight plastic

Cont.
The use of plastics for this purpose has the following inconvenients : Difficulty in getting a good finish, but that tends to deteriorate over time; Conservatism in the use of steel; Repair harder and more expensive; Inconsistent quality in large series particularly when molding techniques require labor-intensive; Some plastics are not recyclable (thermosets).

Aluminium
The main thing that leads to the use of aluminum for carrying out car plates based on the considerable reduction in vehicle weight. But the steel compared to aluminum has additional advantages such as; lower material cost; lower manufacturing cost; use existing manufacturing techniques; better weldability; better embedding; Better ability to be painted.

Steel
Basically, the steel is still have the following advantages: Relatively inexpensive material; Can be shaped plastically in complicated forms; Can be soldered in a a single block of high rigidity; Resistance to bending and torsion; Ability to absorb energy in a state of plastic clash; Can get good surface finishes with coatings and paints used. These characteristics have to do partly with the high modulus of elasticity and the characteristics of strength and ductility of the steels used.
