ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS-F 340 Improved Formability HSLAS-F Grade 50 — Galvanized Steel

ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS-F 340 is a improved formability hslas-f grade 50 grade galvanized steel conforming to the astm standards. At 340 MPa minimum yield strength, this is medium-strength structural steel for longitudinal rails, shotgun members, and frame reinforcement channels.

As a Improved Formability HSLA steel, ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS-F 340 offers a specific combination of strength and formability engineered for advanced automotive manufacturing. The improved-formability HSLAS-F designation delivers higher elongation and better r-values than standard HSLA grades at equivalent strength levels.

Ameristeel maintains inventory of ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS-F 340 in various gauges and widths, available as coils, sheets, or custom blanks. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified processes ensure consistent quality from prototype through production volumes.

Available coating options for ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS-F 340 include Galvanized, Galvanneal, Electrogalvanized, providing corrosion protection and surface preparation suited to your manufacturing process requirements.

ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS-F 340 at 340 MPa yield compares to ASTM A653/A653M HSLAS 340 (0 MPa lower yield at 340 MPa) and ASTM A1008/A1008M GRADE 50 (340) CLASS 1 (0 MPa lower yield at 340 MPa). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
