High-strength steel
Tata Steel’s high-strength, low-alloy grades offer formability and strength for demanding applications.
The range includes our Ympress® HSLA – with grades that exceed the Euronorm, resulting in stronger and lighter products with increased yield and simplified processing.
EN-Automotive-Product-Hot-Rolled-HSS-Ympress S315MC TSN
EN-Automotive-Product-Hot-Rolled-HSS-All grades Overview TSE
Our high-strength steel grades have been developed to meet a wide variety of applications. The consistent quality of these steels means they can be relied on to deliver benefits for your end-products and processes.
The high yield strength of Ympress delivers weight savings and increased component strength. This can help you create lighter, stronger products and increase yield through down-gauging. Consistent properties and tight control of material thickness allow trouble-free, repeatable processing. Ympress can be easily welded and galvanised. Its high surface quality can lead to fewer processing steps.
Applications
- Wheel rims
- Chassis and suspension components and assemblies

EN-EngineeringAutomotive-Product-Hot-rolled-All grades Shape and dimensional tolerances TSE
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 in mm for wide strip and slit wide strip
The tolerances for wide strip and slit wide strip comply with standard EN 10051:2010.
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.
Edge camber
The deviation from the edge over a length of 5000mm:
• with mill edges, no more than 20mm
• with trimmed edges, no more than 15mm
Flatness
Requirements as regards flatness can be agreed at the time of enquiry.
