High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSLA)
HSLA - steels with ɝ% alloying elements
Used in critical loaded regions and as a frame to hang other panels
- Typically contain 0.15%C and 1.3%Mn with small amounts of Nb, V and N
- Strengths typically 300-600MPa
- Springback on forming increases
- limited ductility
- increased buckling during forming
