Hsla Steel Sheet

Masteel uk limited offers an extensive selection of high strength low alloy steel products which are available for shipping to our customers worldwide.

Hsla steel sheet.

Hsla steels are made to provide specific mechanical properties rather than specific chemical compositions. Improved mechanical properties over carbon steel. They resist corrosion and rust better than plain carbon steels. The chemical composition and grade should be dependent on the intended application of the hsla steel.

Steels in the hsla high strength low alloy range are hardened by a combination of precipitation and grain size refining resulting in high strength with low alloy content. Relative to carbon steel low alloy steel on the basis of carbon steel in order to improve one or more performances of steel is added one or several alloy steel elements. The five grades of astm a572 a572m 18. Standard specification for high strength low alloy columbium vanadium structural steel specifies five grades of high strength low alloy hsla structural steel shapes plates sheet piling and bars.

There are many different grades of hsla steel available because of the variety alloying element combinations that can be used. Astm a36 is a general purpose hsla steel. Leeco steel carries a deep inventory of carbon or mild steel plate as well as high strength low alloy or hsla steel plate. Composition hsla steels have yield strengths greater than 275 mpa or 40 ksi.

Our stock range is available in heavy plates and sheets. High strength low alloy hsla structural steel plate is very strong highly formable and easy to weld. Hsla boasts a higher strength lower weight and good machinability and ductility compared to conventional mild carbon steel grades. This enhances weldability and choice of coatings since these steels exhibit neither weld zone softening nor grain coarsening.

We can offer high strength steel with a tensile strength of up to 1300mpa see section on high yield steel. One of the most popular types of hsla steel is astm a36. The hsla steels in sheet or plate form have low carbon content 0 05 to. Grades 42 290 50 345 and 55 380 are intended for riveted bolted or welded.

Hsla structural steels are manufactured to meet specific mechanical properties such as hardness strength corrosion resistance. Improved resistance to corrosion over carbon steel. A1011 hsla sheet steel is generally used in applications where weight reduction is a major factor as it offers a high strength at a fraction of the weight of conventional carbon sheet steel. The chemical composition of a specific hsla steel may vary for different product thicknesses to meet mechanical property requirements.

Hsla steel sheet low alloy steel hsla is referred to alloy elements less than 3 5 of the total.
