EN_US-Product-Metallic coated-AHSS UHSS-All Grades OverviewTSUK
Meeting design demands
Body-in-white design demands affordability and improved crash performance, combined with low weight. Our advanced high-strength steels (AHSS) and ultra high-strength steels (UHSS) help meet those demands and provide good formability.
Tata Steel supports customers in finding the optimum balance between cost, lightweight design potential and performance for specific applications. Total cost of ownership (TCO) concept studies identify and quantify the TCO reduction potential offered by Tata Steel’s advanced steel solutions.
Applications
Applications for our advanced high-strength and ultra high-strength steels include:
- automotive A-, B- and C-pillars
- box girders for chassis
- crash boxes
- crossbeams and cross members
- roofbows
- door and sill reinforcements
- support components

EN_US-Product-Metallic coated-All Grades Coatings Surface aspectsTSUK
Surface Aspects
Surface quality
Surface quality complies with ASTM standards A653: 2022 and A924: 2022. The products can be delivered with the following coating/surface types:
Minimized spangle (standard surface)
Imperfections such as pimples, marks, scratches, pits, variations in surface appearance, dark spots, stripe marks and light passivation stains are permissible.
Stretch levelling breaks or run-off marks may appear. Coil breaks and stretcher strains may also appear.
Minimized spangle temper rolled (improved surface)
With this surface quality, small imperfections such as stretch levelling breaks, skin pass marks, slight scratches, indentations, surface structure, zinc run-off marks and light passivation stains are permissible.
Extra smooth (best surface, exposed)
Surface quality is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface shall make it possible to apply a uniform high-class paint finish. The other surface shall at least have the characteristics of surface quality B. As a rule, the upper side of the strip is inspected; on request the strip can be turned over so that the underside is the inspected side.
MagiZinc® is currently only available with standard or improved surface qualities.
Surface roughness
Metallic coated steel will normally be supplied with a regular matte finish:
| Description | Roughness µinch CLA |
|---|---|
| regular matte | 30 - 61 |
Surface treatments
The surface treatments available are O, C and CO.
Oiling (O)
The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil may be available to meet your requirement – please contact us.
Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels for all coating types:
Lightly oiled: 65 mg/ft2 per side
Regular oiled: 100 mg/ft2 per side
Other oiling levels are available on request. If no amount is indicated in your specification, a regular amount of oil will be applied.
Chromium-free passivation (C)
This surface treatment temporarily protects the zinc coated material against white rust during transportation and storage (not applicable to all qualities – please consult us).
Chromium-free passivation and oiled (CO)
Please request this combination of surface treatments if you require extra protection against white rust formation (not applicable to all qualities – please consult us).
