Properties

Mechanical properties

The available grades have the following mechanical properties - these are measured perpendicular to the rolling direction (transverse test pieces):
 

Rephosphorised grades

^1. If the yield strength is pronounced (yield flag), the values apply to the lower yield point (R_eL).
^2. When thickness ≤ 0.7mm, the minimum value for elongation is reduced by 2%.
   Elongation after fracture A uses test piece length L₀ = 80 mm.
^3. For products with thickness > 2mm the minimum r₉₀ is reduced by 0.2.
 

Chemical composition

Cold-rolled high-strength steels supplied by Tata Steel comply to the following cast analysis with maximum values unless otherwise shown:
 

Rephosphorised grades

All values are in weight%.
