Hsla Steel Sheet

The chemical composition and grade should be dependent on the intended application of the hsla steel.

Hsla steel sheet.

Hsla steel sheet low alloy steel hsla is referred to alloy elements less than 3 5 of the total. The five grades of astm a572 a572m 18. Improved resistance to corrosion over carbon steel. Composition hsla steels have yield strengths greater than 275 mpa or 40 ksi.

Hsla structural steels are manufactured to meet specific mechanical properties such as hardness strength corrosion resistance. Hsla boasts a higher strength lower weight and good machinability and ductility compared to conventional mild carbon steel grades. Steels in the hsla high strength low alloy range are hardened by a combination of precipitation and grain size refining resulting in high strength with low alloy content. The hsla steels in sheet or plate form have low carbon content 0 05 to.

General characteristics of a1011 hsla. This enhances weldability and choice of coatings since these steels exhibit neither weld zone softening nor grain coarsening. Leeco steel carries a deep inventory of carbon or mild steel plate as well as high strength low alloy or hsla steel plate. High strength low alloy hsla structural steel plate is very strong highly formable and easy to weld.

Hsla steels are made to provide specific mechanical properties rather than specific chemical compositions. Grades 42 290 50 345 and 55 380 are intended for riveted bolted or welded. Improved mechanical properties over carbon steel. Astm a36 is a general purpose hsla steel.

We can offer high strength steel with a tensile strength of up to 1300mpa see section on high yield steel. Masteel uk limited offers an extensive selection of high strength low alloy steel products which are available for shipping to our customers worldwide. There are many different grades of hsla steel available because of the variety alloying element combinations that can be used. The chemical composition of a specific hsla steel may vary for different product thicknesses to meet mechanical property requirements.

Our stock range is available in heavy plates and sheets. These grades are particularly suitable for structural components such as suspension systems. One of the most popular types of hsla steel is astm a36. They resist corrosion and rust better than plain carbon steels.

High strength low alloy steel hsla is a type of alloy steel that provides better mechanical properties or greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel hsla steels vary from other steels in that they are not made to meet a specific chemical composition but rather specific mechanical properties.
