AHSS and UHSS steel
Tata Steel’s range of versatile hot-rolled advanced and ultra high-strength steels has been developed primarily to meet the needs of the automotive industry – increasing strength or reducing weight to help achieve optimal performance parameters.

Shape and dimensional tolerances
The specified values for wide strip do not apply to the uncropped ends of the coil (‘head’ and ‘tail’). The length of these uncropped ends is calculated using the following formula:
length (in metres) = 90/nominal thickness (in mm), with a maximum of 20 metres.
If required, this part of the coil can be removed, however an additional cost may be charged for this.
Tolerances on thickness
Tata Steel can supply to full thickness tolerance specified in EN 10051:2010.
Tighter tolerances are available as shown below:
| Product family | Thickness tolerances available (% of full EN 10051:2010 tolerance) |
|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100% | 75% | 66% | 50% | |
| Steel for forming | Yes | Yes | Yes | (see note 1) |
| High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| AHSS | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Structural steel | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Boron manganese steel | Yes | Yes | Yes | |
| Steel for gas cylinders | Yes | |||
