Cold-rolled

AHSS-UHSS

Our cold-rolled Advanced and ultra high-strength steel include dual phase and hot forming grades 

Originally developed for the demanding automotive market, they also meet a variety of performance and processing requirements for other advanced applications. Our advanced and ultra high-strength cold-rolled steels DP600, DP800 and 22MnB5 are lightweight and enable design freedom for complex body in white (BIW) parts. Their high yield and ductility ensure shape accuracy and tolerancing, which enable thickness reduction and maintained in-service performance for difficult-to-form parts.

Overview

The good formability of our advanced and ultra high-strength steels (AHSS / UHSS) allows the user to increase the strength of the finished automotive components in body in white applications (BIW) by exploiting the high work-hardening characteristics. Substitution of high strength steel grades provides opportunities to reduce thickness while maintaining the in-service performance, resulting in potential cost and mass savings.

Dual phase grades

Cold-rolled dual phase steels allow you to increase the strength of the finished component or reduce the thickness of the steel - or both. By increasing product performance and helping reduce weight, these steels support you to achieve your optimum performance parameters. The use of dual phase grades increases the output from each tonne of steel and produces products that are strong, light and safe under load. High strain-hardening capacity ensures our dual phase steels have good formability.

Hot forming steel - 22MnB5

Our 22MnB5 product is an uncoated, ultra high-strength hot forming steel. It combines a strength level of 1500 N/mm2 with excellent shape accuracy. Compared with conventional high-strength, low-alloy grades, 22MnB5 offers real opportunities for weight reduction through down-gauging. It also ensures good repeatability in long production runs when compared with cold press forming.

 

Applications

Body in white (BIW), structural and reinforcement components and lightweight structural seat components

Surface aspects

Surface quality

Surface quality A

Defects that do not influence the formability or the application of surface coatings are permitted. They are defects such as pores, minor scratches, slight indentations, small grooves or slight discolouration. 

Surface quality B

The better side must be free of defects that can spoil the uniform appearance of a high-quality paint or of an electrolytic coating. The other side must at least conform to surface quality A. Not all combinations of thickness and width are available in surface quality B. Please contact us for details. 

Inspected side

As a rule, the upper side of the strip is inspected; on request, the strip can be wound so that the inspected side is the underside.

 

Surface texture/roughness

Cold-rolled annealed and skin-passed steel is available in several surface textures. Unless specified otherwise, Tata Steel will supply normal roughness. The table below shows the range of surface textures according to EN 10130:2006.

Preservative oil

The standard oil applied by Tata Steel acts as a protective coating. Other types of oil may be available to meet your requirement.
Tata Steel offers a range of oiling levels from 0.25 - 1.7 g/m2 per side.
Other oiling levels are available on request. Tata Steel is not responsible for the risk of corrosion during storage or shipment if material is ordered in the un-oiled condition.

Surface cleanliness

Tata Steel can guarantee improved surface cleanliness on request for batch-annealed products. The cleanliness is tested with a tape test, in which the loss of reflection is measured. The reflection gives an indication of the oil residue on the annealed product. Two levels of loss of reflectivity are available for batch annealed products: a maximum of 20% or a maximum of 30%. Continuously-annealed products typically exhibit a loss of reflection up to around 10%.

Coil welds

For batch-annealed coils, in general, pickling line welds are included. The number of permissible recoiling line welds is determined in consultation with the customer. If welds are permitted, Tata Steel is better able to implement the best coil weight. A recoiling line weld is marked with a single hole in the centre of the strip, close to the weld. On request the identifying hole can be left out. Coils with welds are available on continuously-annealed products – please contact us for details. You can find details on how to get in touch with us in 'Contact Us' below.

Coil welds

For batch-annealed coils, in general, pickling line welds are included. The number of permissible recoiling line welds is determined in consultation with the customer. If welds are permitted, Tata Steel is better able to implement the best coil weight. A recoiling line weld is marked with a single hole in the centre of the strip, close to the weld. On request the identifying hole can be left out. Coils with welds are available on continuously-annealed products – please contact us for details. You can find details on how to get in touch with us in 'Contact Us' below.

EN-Product-Cold-rolled-AHSS-CR 22MnB5 TSUK

CR 22MnB5
Specification details for 22MnB5

EN-Product-Cold-rolled-AHSS-All Grades OverviewTSUK

Overview

The good formability of our advanced and ultra high-strength steels (AHSS / UHSS) allows the user to increase the strength of the finished automotive components in body in white applications (BIW) by exploiting the high work-hardening characteristics. Substitution of high strength steel grades provides opportunities to reduce thickness while maintaining the in-service performance, resulting in potential cost and mass savings.

Dual phase grades

Cold-rolled dual phase steels allow you to increase the strength of the finished component or reduce the thickness of the steel - or both. By increasing product performance and helping reduce weight, these steels support you to achieve your optimum performance parameters. The use of dual phase grades increases the output from each tonne of steel and produces products that are strong, light and safe under load. High strain-hardening capacity ensures our dual phase steels have good formability.

Hot forming steel - 22MnB5

Our 22MnB5 product is an uncoated, ultra high-strength hot forming steel. It combines a strength level of 1500 N/mm2 with excellent shape accuracy. Compared with conventional high-strength, low-alloy grades, 22MnB5 offers real opportunities for weight reduction through down-gauging. It also ensures good repeatability in long production runs when compared with cold press forming.

 

Applications

Body in white (BIW), structural and reinforcement components and lightweight structural seat components

Relationship with standards

Tata Steel can supply the following cold-rolled advanced and ultra high-strength steel grades:

EN-Product-Cold-rolled-All Grades Surface aspectsTSUK

Surface aspects

Surface quality

Surface quality A

Defects that do not influence the formability or the application of surface coatings are permitted. They are defects such as pores, minor scratches, slight indentations, small grooves or slight discolouration. 

Surface quality B

The better side must be free of defects that can spoil the uniform appearance of a high-quality paint or of an electrolytic coating. The other side must at least conform to surface quality A. Not all combinations of thickness and width are available in surface quality B. Please contact us for details. 

Inspected side

As a rule, the upper side of the strip is inspected; on request, the strip can be wound so that the inspected side is the underside.

 

Surface texture/roughness

Cold-rolled annealed and skin-passed steel is available in several surface textures. Unless specified otherwise, Tata Steel will supply normal roughness. The table below shows the range of surface textures according to EN 10130:2006.

Other surface textures are available to meet your requirements - please contact us for details.

Preservative oil

The standard oil applied by Tata Steel acts as a protective coating. Other types of oil may be available to meet your requirement.
Tata Steel offers a range of oiling levels from 0.25 - 1.7 g/m2 per side.
Other oiling levels are available on request. Tata Steel is not responsible for the risk of corrosion during storage or shipment if material is ordered in the un-oiled condition.

Surface cleanliness

Tata Steel can guarantee improved surface cleanliness on request for batch-annealed products. The cleanliness is tested with a tape test, in which the loss of reflection is measured. The reflection gives an indication of the oil residue on the annealed product. Two levels of loss of reflectivity are available for batch annealed products: a maximum of 20% or a maximum of 30%. Continuously-annealed products typically exhibit a loss of reflection up to around 10%.

Out-of-squareness (products supplied as cut sheets only)

The deviation does not exceed 1% of the actual width of the sheet according to the EN 10131: 2006 standard. The deviation from the edge camber does not exceed 5mm for a length of 2 metres as specified in EN 10131: 2006.

 

Flatness (products supplied as skin-passed cut sheets only)

Flatness complies with EN 10131: 2006
If there is a dispute about the flatness of material that was ordered to the special tolerances shown in table 8 of EN 10131: 2006, then the minimum acceptable standards of flatness described below must be verified.

Coil welds

For batch-annealed coils, in general, pickling line welds are included. The number of permissible recoiling line welds is determined in consultation with the customer. If welds are permitted, Tata Steel is better able to implement the best coil weight. A recoiling line weld is marked with a single hole in the centre of the strip, close to the weld. On request the identifying hole can be left out. Coils with welds are available on continuously-annealed products – please contact us for details. You can find details on how to get in touch with us in 'Contact Us' below.
