Metallic coated

Steel for forming

Our cold-rolled forming steels are available in a wide range of grades and corrosion-resistant coatings.

Each grade is designed for specific applications and comes with a choice of surface quality. Extensive dimensional choice provides opportunities for cutting waste and maximising yield.

MagiZinc® improves corrosion resistance with half the thickness of conventional zinc coatings, increasing yield, reducing cost and facilitating stronger, lighter products. It offers improved automotive corrosion protection and higher process efficiency.

Applications

  • Automotive components
  • Building components
  • Domestic appliances
  • Drain pipes

Coatings and Surface aspects

Coatings

Three types of metallic coating are available:

  • Pure zinc. Galvanised steel (GI) is coated with an almost pure zinc coating (>99% zinc)
  • Zinc-iron alloy. Galvannealed steel (GA) is coated with a zinc coating containing approximately 8-12% iron
  • MagiZinc Auto. MagiZinc Auto steel (ZM) is coated with a zinc coating containing additional magnesium and aluminium.

Surface condition

Surface condition complies with standard: EN 10346:2015. Galvanised steels are available in surface conditions with minimised spangle MB or MC. Galvannealed steels and MagiZinc Auto are available in surface conditions B or C.

Surface condition B: improved surface, suitable for unexposed parts

With this surface condition, 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.

Surface condition C: best quality surface, suitable for exposed parts

Surface condition C is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface for the exposed side enables application of a uniform paint finish. The reverse surface has, at least, the characteristics of surface quality B.

Surface finish

Galvanised (GI) grades with surface condition MC are available with different levels of surface finish. For exposed body panels with stringent paint appearance requirements we offer ‘regular’ surface finish. For panels with the highest paint appearance requirements we recommend the premium surface finish Serica FLO®.

Surface roughness

Metallic coated steel for automotive applications can be supplied in various grades of roughness to comply with individual customer norms. If no roughness is specified, roughness will be as shown in the table below

Roughness Ra (µm)
cut off 0.8mm cut off 2.5mm
0.6 - 1.9 0.7 - 2.2
 

​​​Surface treatments

The surface treatments available are oiling and T-treatment.

Oiling (O)

The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil - for increasing strength or reducing weight – are available to help achieve your optimum performance parameters. Please contact us for details.

Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels:

Coating type Oiling level
Pure zinc (GI) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2
Zinc-iron(GA) 0.5 - 1.5 g/m2
MagiZinc Auto(ZM) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2

Other oiling levels are available on request.

Property range is indicated according to EN 10346, but properties meet equivalent VDA 239-100 specifications also.

  Grade DX52-GI/GA/ZM
Yield strength Re N/mm² 140 - 300 1
Tensile strength Rm N/mm² 270 - 420
Elongation % 26
Min. r-value   -
Min. n-value   -
If the yield point is not pronounced, the values apply to the 0.2% - proof strength Rp0.2 ; if the yield strength is pronounced, the values apply to the lower yield point ReL.
Decreased minimum elongation values apply for product thickness t ≤ 0.50 mm (minus 4 units) and for 0.50 mm ≤ t ≤ 0.70 mm (minus 2 units).
Elongation after fracture A uses test piece length L0 = 80 mm.

Coatings and Surface aspects

Coatings

Three types of metallic coating are available:

  • Pure zinc. Galvanised steel (GI) is coated with an almost pure zinc coating (>99% zinc)
  • Zinc-iron alloy. Galvannealed steel (GA) is coated with a zinc coating containing approximately 8-12% iron
  • MagiZinc Auto. MagiZinc Auto steel (ZM) is coated with a zinc coating containing additional magnesium and aluminium.

Surface condition

Surface condition complies with standard: EN 10346:2015. Galvanised steels are available in surface conditions with minimised spangle MB or MC. Galvannealed steels and MagiZinc Auto are available in surface conditions B or C.

Surface condition B: improved surface, suitable for unexposed parts

With this surface condition, 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.

Surface condition C: best quality surface, suitable for exposed parts

Surface condition C is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface for the exposed side enables application of a uniform paint finish. The reverse surface has, at least, the characteristics of surface quality B.

Surface finish

Galvanised (GI) grades with surface condition MC are available with different levels of surface finish. For exposed body panels with stringent paint appearance requirements we offer ‘regular’ surface finish. For panels with the highest paint appearance requirements we recommend the premium surface finish Serica FLO®.

Surface roughness

Metallic coated steel for automotive applications can be supplied in various grades of roughness to comply with individual customer norms. If no roughness is specified, roughness will be as shown in the table below

Roughness Ra (µm)
cut off 0.8mm cut off 2.5mm
0.6 - 1.9 0.7 - 2.2
 

​​​Surface treatments

The surface treatments available are oiling and T-treatment.

Oiling (O)

The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil - for increasing strength or reducing weight – are available to help achieve your optimum performance parameters. Please contact us for details.

Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels:

Coating type Oiling level
Pure zinc (GI) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2
Zinc-iron(GA) 0.5 - 1.5 g/m2
MagiZinc Auto(ZM) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2

Other oiling levels are available on request.

EN-Automotive-Product-Metallic coated-All Grades Coatings Surface aspectsTSE

Coatings and Surface aspects

Coatings

Three types of metallic coating are available:

  • Pure zinc. Galvanised steel (GI) is coated with an almost pure zinc coating (>99% zinc)
  • Zinc-iron alloy. Galvannealed steel (GA) is coated with a zinc coating containing approximately 8-12% iron
  • MagiZinc Auto. MagiZinc Auto steel (ZM) is coated with a zinc coating containing additional magnesium and aluminium.

Coating weight measured in g/m2 double-sided (µm, per side).
 

Surface condition

Surface condition complies with standard: EN 10346:2015. Galvanised steels are available in surface conditions with minimised spangle MB or MC. Galvannealed steels and MagiZinc Auto are available in surface conditions B or C.

Surface condition B: improved surface, suitable for unexposed parts

With this surface condition, 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.

Surface condition C: best quality surface, suitable for exposed parts

Surface condition C is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface for the exposed side enables application of a uniform paint finish. The reverse surface has, at least, the characteristics of surface quality B.

Surface finish

Galvanised (GI) grades with surface condition MC are available with different levels of surface finish. For exposed body panels with stringent paint appearance requirements we offer ‘regular’ surface finish. For panels with the highest paint appearance requirements we recommend the premium surface finish Serica FLO®.

Surface roughness

Metallic coated steel for automotive applications can be supplied in various grades of roughness to comply with individual customer norms. If no roughness is specified, roughness will be as shown in the table below

Roughness Ra (µm)
cut off 0.8mm cut off 2.5mm
0.6 - 1.9 0.7 - 2.2
 

​​​Surface treatments

The surface treatments available are oiling and T-treatment.

Oiling (O)

The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil - for increasing strength or reducing weight – are available to help achieve your optimum performance parameters. Please contact us for details.

Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels:

Coating type Oiling level
Pure zinc (GI) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2
Zinc-iron(GA) 0.5 - 1.5 g/m2
MagiZinc Auto(ZM) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2

Other oiling levels are available on request.
 

T-treatment

Please contact us for further information.

Mechanical properties

Metallic coated steel for forming has the following mechanical properties. These are measured transverse to the rolling direction.
Property range is indicated according to EN 10346, but properties meet equivalent VDA 239-100 specifications also.

  Grade DX54-GI DX54-GA/ZM
Yield strength Re N/mm² 120 - 220 120 - 220
Tensile strength Rm N/mm² 260 - 350 260 - 350
Elongation % 36 34
Min. r-value   1.6 1.4
Min. n-value   0.18 0.18
If the yield point is not pronounced, the values apply to the 0.2% - proof strength Rp0.2 ; if the yield strength is pronounced, the values apply to the lower yield point ReL.
Decreased minimum elongation values apply for product thickness t ≤ 0.50 mm (minus 4 units) and for 0.50 mm ≤ t ≤ 0.70 mm (minus 2 units).
Elongation after fracture A uses test piece length L0 = 80 mm.
For t > 1.5 mm, the minimum r90 - value reduced by 0.2 applies.

EN-Automotive-Product-Metallic coated-All Grades Coatings Surface aspectsTSE

Coatings and Surface aspects

Coatings

Three types of metallic coating are available:

  • Pure zinc. Galvanised steel (GI) is coated with an almost pure zinc coating (>99% zinc)
  • Zinc-iron alloy. Galvannealed steel (GA) is coated with a zinc coating containing approximately 8-12% iron
  • MagiZinc Auto. MagiZinc Auto steel (ZM) is coated with a zinc coating containing additional magnesium and aluminium.

Coating weight measured in g/m2 double-sided (µm, per side).
 

Surface condition

Surface condition complies with standard: EN 10346:2015. Galvanised steels are available in surface conditions with minimised spangle MB or MC. Galvannealed steels and MagiZinc Auto are available in surface conditions B or C.

Surface condition B: improved surface, suitable for unexposed parts

With this surface condition, 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.

Surface condition C: best quality surface, suitable for exposed parts

Surface condition C is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface for the exposed side enables application of a uniform paint finish. The reverse surface has, at least, the characteristics of surface quality B.

Surface finish

Galvanised (GI) grades with surface condition MC are available with different levels of surface finish. For exposed body panels with stringent paint appearance requirements we offer ‘regular’ surface finish. For panels with the highest paint appearance requirements we recommend the premium surface finish Serica FLO®.

Surface roughness

Metallic coated steel for automotive applications can be supplied in various grades of roughness to comply with individual customer norms. If no roughness is specified, roughness will be as shown in the table below

Roughness Ra (µm)
cut off 0.8mm cut off 2.5mm
0.6 - 1.9 0.7 - 2.2
 

​​​Surface treatments

The surface treatments available are oiling and T-treatment.

Oiling (O)

The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil - for increasing strength or reducing weight – are available to help achieve your optimum performance parameters. Please contact us for details.

Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels:

Coating type Oiling level
Pure zinc (GI) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2
Zinc-iron(GA) 0.5 - 1.5 g/m2
MagiZinc Auto(ZM) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2

Other oiling levels are available on request.
 

T-treatment

Please contact us for further information.

Mechanical properties

Metallic coated steel for forming has the following mechanical properties. These are measured transverse to the rolling direction.
Property range is indicated according to EN 10346, but properties meet equivalent VDA 239-100 specifications also.

  Grade DX56-GI DX56-GA/ZM
Yield strength Re N/mm² 120 - 180 120 - 180
Tensile strength Rm N/mm² 260 - 350 260 - 350
Elongation % 39 37
Min. r-value   1.9 1.7
Min. n-value   0.21 0.20
If the yield point is not pronounced, the values apply to the 0.2% - proof strength Rp0.2 ; if the yield strength is pronounced, the values apply to the lower yield point ReL.
Decreased minimum elongation values apply for product thickness t ≤ 0.50 mm (minus 4 units) and for 0.50 mm ≤ t ≤ 0.70 mm (minus 2 units).
Elongation after fraction A uses test piece length L0 = 80 mm.
For t > 1.5 mm, the minimum r90 - value reduced by 0.2 applies.
For t ≤ 0.7 mm, the minimum r90 - value reduced by 0.2 and minimum n90- value reduced by 0.01 apply.

EN-Automotive-Product-Metallic coated-All Grades Coatings Surface aspectsTSE

Coatings and Surface aspects

Coatings

Three types of metallic coating are available:

  • Pure zinc. Galvanised steel (GI) is coated with an almost pure zinc coating (>99% zinc)
  • Zinc-iron alloy. Galvannealed steel (GA) is coated with a zinc coating containing approximately 8-12% iron
  • MagiZinc Auto. MagiZinc Auto steel (ZM) is coated with a zinc coating containing additional magnesium and aluminium.

Coating weight measured in g/m2 double-sided (µm, per side).
 

Surface condition

Surface condition complies with standard: EN 10346:2015. Galvanised steels are available in surface conditions with minimised spangle MB or MC. Galvannealed steels and MagiZinc Auto are available in surface conditions B or C.

Surface condition B: improved surface, suitable for unexposed parts

With this surface condition, 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.

Surface condition C: best quality surface, suitable for exposed parts

Surface condition C is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface for the exposed side enables application of a uniform paint finish. The reverse surface has, at least, the characteristics of surface quality B.

Surface finish

Galvanised (GI) grades with surface condition MC are available with different levels of surface finish. For exposed body panels with stringent paint appearance requirements we offer ‘regular’ surface finish. For panels with the highest paint appearance requirements we recommend the premium surface finish Serica FLO®.

Surface roughness

Metallic coated steel for automotive applications can be supplied in various grades of roughness to comply with individual customer norms. If no roughness is specified, roughness will be as shown in the table below

Roughness Ra (µm)
cut off 0.8mm cut off 2.5mm
0.6 - 1.9 0.7 - 2.2
 

​​​Surface treatments

The surface treatments available are oiling and T-treatment.

Oiling (O)

The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil - for increasing strength or reducing weight – are available to help achieve your optimum performance parameters. Please contact us for details.

Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels:

Coating type Oiling level
Pure zinc (GI) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2
Zinc-iron(GA) 0.5 - 1.5 g/m2
MagiZinc Auto(ZM) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2

Other oiling levels are available on request.
 

T-treatment

Please contact us for further information.

Prime Lubrication Treatment (PLT)

Prime Lubrication Treatment facilitates the manufacturing of stamped components by minimising known issues in stamping and joining.

Properties

Properties


Mechanical properties

Metallic coated steel for forming has the following mechanical properties. These are measured transverse to the rolling direction.
Property range is indicated according to EN 10346, but properties meet equivalent VDA 239-100 specifications also.

  Grade DX57-GI DX57-ZM
Yield strength Re N/mm² 120 - 170 120 - 170
Tensile strength Rm N/mm² 260 - 350 260 - 350
Elongation % 41 39
Min. r-value   2.1 1.9
Min. n-value   0.22 0.21
If the yield point is not pronounced, the values apply to the 0.2% - proof strength Rp0.2 ; if the yield strength is pronounced, the values apply to the lower yield point ReL.
Decreased minimum elongation values apply for product thickness t ≤ 0.50 mm (minus 4 units) and for 0.50 mm ≤ t ≤ 0.70 mm (minus 2 units).
Elongation after fraction A uses test piece length L0 = 80 mm.
For t > 1.5 mm, the minimum r90 - value reduced by 0.2 applies.
For t ≤ 0.7 mm, the minimum r90 - value reduced by 0.2 and minimum n90- value reduced by 0.01 apply.

EN-Automotive-Product-Metallic coated-All Grades Coatings Surface aspectsTSE

Coatings and Surface aspects

Coatings

Three types of metallic coating are available:

  • Pure zinc. Galvanised steel (GI) is coated with an almost pure zinc coating (>99% zinc)
  • Zinc-iron alloy. Galvannealed steel (GA) is coated with a zinc coating containing approximately 8-12% iron
  • MagiZinc Auto. MagiZinc Auto steel (ZM) is coated with a zinc coating containing additional magnesium and aluminium.

Coating weight measured in g/m2 double-sided (µm, per side).
 

Surface condition

Surface condition complies with standard: EN 10346:2015. Galvanised steels are available in surface conditions with minimised spangle MB or MC. Galvannealed steels and MagiZinc Auto are available in surface conditions B or C.

Surface condition B: improved surface, suitable for unexposed parts

With this surface condition, 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.

Surface condition C: best quality surface, suitable for exposed parts

Surface condition C is obtained by skin passing. The controlled surface for the exposed side enables application of a uniform paint finish. The reverse surface has, at least, the characteristics of surface quality B.

Surface finish

Galvanised (GI) grades with surface condition MC are available with different levels of surface finish. For exposed body panels with stringent paint appearance requirements we offer ‘regular’ surface finish. For panels with the highest paint appearance requirements we recommend the premium surface finish Serica FLO®.

Surface roughness

Metallic coated steel for automotive applications can be supplied in various grades of roughness to comply with individual customer norms. If no roughness is specified, roughness will be as shown in the table below

Roughness Ra (µm)
cut off 0.8mm cut off 2.5mm
0.6 - 1.9 0.7 - 2.2
 

​​​Surface treatments

The surface treatments available are oiling and T-treatment.

Oiling (O)

The material surface can be oiled with preservative oil. Other types of oil - for increasing strength or reducing weight – are available to help achieve your optimum performance parameters. Please contact us for details.

Tata Steel offers the following range of oiling levels:

Coating type Oiling level
Pure zinc (GI) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2
Zinc-iron(GA) 0.5 - 1.5 g/m2
MagiZinc Auto(ZM) 0.25 - 1.5 g/m2

Other oiling levels are available on request.
 

T-treatment

Please contact us for further information.

Prime Lubrication Treatment (PLT)

Prime Lubrication Treatment facilitates the manufacturing of stamped components by minimising known issues in stamping and joining.

Mechanical properties

Metallic coated steel for forming has the following mechanical properties. These are measured transverse to the rolling direction.
Not in EN 10346: 2015. Tata Steel’s own specification. Properties exceed VDA 239-100 CR5-GI.

Tata Steel Grade DX58
Yield strength Re N/mm² 120 - 155
Tensile strength Rm N/mm² 260 - 310
Elongation % 43
Min. r-value   2.30
