Metallic coated high-strength grades are high-strength steels with good forming capabilities.

Micro-alloyed, phosphorus alloyed and bake-hardening grades are available. Our metallic coated high-strength steels are used by various automotive manufacturers for inner and outer parts because of their dent-resistance, crash-resistance, forming capabilities and good weldability.

Metallic coated high-strength grades are used for various applications including the following:

• automotive parts
• tubing

Remarks:

1 If the yield point is pronounced, the values apply to the lower yield point R_eL
2 For galvannealed grades (ZF) the minimum elongation (A₈₀) is lowered by 2%
3 For galvannealed grades (ZF) the minimum r₉₀-value is lowered by 0.2
4 BH₂ refers to the increase of R_p0.2 after heating (Bake Hardening). Not applicable for hot rolled substratum.
