QUIET STEEL®
MSC Engineered Materials and Solutions Group's core business centers on our proprietary continuous coil coating and constrained layer laminating processes. Quiet Steel® is one of our unique families of Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) damping materials and can be provided as continuous coil or in blanked sheets. Each material is designed specifically to meet the damping, temperature, stiffness and operating environment needs of its intended vehicle component.

MSC can also Electrogalvanize Quiet Steel® for corrosion protection or apply a variety of coatings from forming lubricants to pre-paint. Quiet Steel® is currently used at GM, Ford and DaimlerChrysler for a variety of brake, powertrain, and body structure applications. Various versions of Quiet Steel® are currently used in thirteen North American stamping facilities and welded in eight OEM body shops.

In today's relentless pursuit of lower costs and increased performance, Quiet Steel® has been especially well received by the automotive engineering community. On one dash panel application, Quiet Steel® saved $9 per vehicle and eliminated six extra pounds. Let MSC show you how to use Quiet Steel® to:

Reduce vehicle costs
Reduce mass
Improve NVH performance
Improve quality
Reduce build variation
Streamline assembly

QUIET SHIELD®
Quiet Shield® is a damped laminate material that provides both thermal protection and Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH) benefits. The Quiet Shield® suite of materials use a wide variety of core materials that can resist and/or spread heat. Each core layer is engineered to meet specific temperature drop and NVH requirements. MSC's goal is to provide an all-in-one material that offers both heat shield and vibration damping characteristics.
