Automotive Structural Steel

Automotive structural steel is mainly used in parts or security parts in passenger cars and commercial cars, normally customers require it to be pickled. The key process for this kind of material is drawing, thus the material is required to be with high ductility, high precision of thickness, and good shape.

Note: The product should be used as soon as possible due to its aging effect.

a)Longitudinal sample should be used for tensile test, i.e P14 sample in GB/T 228.1;

b)the property guarantee period is 6 months.

Remark: 1)a is refer to the thickness of the sample, b is refer to the width of the cold bending sample, and d is is referring to the bending diameter.

2)The direction of the tensile test sample is longitudinal, i.e. P14 sample in GB/T 228.1 when h <3.0 mm. P10 sample in GB/T 228.1 when h ≥3.0 mm. The direction of cold bending is transverse, i.e. GB/T 232 flap type test.

3)The yield strength can be reduced by 20MPa for a thickness of more than 8mm.
