What type of steel is known for reducing noise, vibration, and harshness?

Laminated steel is specifically designed to enhance certain properties, including the ability to reduce noise, vibration, and harshness (NVH). This type of steel is created by layering different materials, which can absorb and dampen vibrations effectively. The lamination process enables these steel sheets to alter their acoustic properties, making them particularly valuable in applications where minimizing sound transmission and vibrations is crucial, such as in automotive components.

Advanced high-strength steel and mild steel do provide structural integrity and strength, but they do not possess the same NVH-reducing characteristics as laminated steel. While magnesium is a lightweight material that may be used in some automotive applications, it does not specifically address noise and vibration reduction in the way laminated steel does. Therefore, laminated steel stands out as the material designed to effectively reduce NVH in various applications.
