SAE J2340 Steel Sheet

Grade Type: A

Steel Description: Dent Resistant Non-Bake-Hardenable

Type A-This steel is dent-resistant and does not require baking or hardening. Its yield strength is increased through work hardening caused by strain during forming.

Minimum mechanical properties

Grade Type: B

Steel Description: Dent Resistant Non-Bake-Hardenable

Type B steel is a unique type of steel that exhibits exceptional dent resistance and can be further strengthened through a bake-hardening process. During the forming stage, the steel undergoes work hardening due to the strain applied, and additional strengthening occurs during the subsequent paint baking process. This bake-hardenable steel is known for its superior performance in automotive and other applications where dent resistance is critical.

Minimum mechanical properties

Grade Type: X & Y

Steel Description: High Strength Low Alloy

Often known as High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels, Type X and Y are both composed of alloys with high strength, containing elements that form carbides and nitrides, such as niobium (columbium), titanium, and vanadium, either individually or in combination. To enhance formability and weldability, the carbon content must not exceed 0.13%, while phosphorus should be limited to 0.060% or less. The minimum requirement for niobium (columbium), titanium, or vanadium is set at 0.005%, and sulfur must be kept below a maximum of 0.015%.

Minimum mechanical properties

Grade Type: R

Steel Description: High Strength Recovery Annealed

Type R steel is known for its high strength, which is achieved through cold work and alloying elements similar to Types S and X. It has a low carbon content of 0.13% to improve formability and welding, while phosphorus and sulfur are limited to 0.100% and 0.015%, respectively. This steel is ideal for bending and roll-forming due to its directional mechanical properties, although its ductility and formability are somewhat restricted.

Minimum mechanical properties

Grade Type: DH & DL

Steel Description: Ultra High Strength Dual Phase

Type DH & DL steel is characterized by its ultra high strength and dual phase microstructure composed of ferrite and martensite. The strength of this steel is determined by the percentage of low-carbon martensite present in the microstructure.

Minimum mechanical properties

Grade Type: DH & DL

Steel Description: Ultra High Strength Dual Phase

Type M steel refers to fully martensitic ultra high strength sheet steels, where the strength level is determined by the carbon content. These steels are known for their high strength, but they have limited ductility.
