LMS-S008-CR-BH-240Y/340T Bake Hardenable — Cold Rolled Steel

LMS-S008-CR-BH-240Y/340T is a bake hardenable grade cold rolled steel conforming to the lucid material specifications. At 240 MPa minimum yield strength, this is structural-quality steel for inner body panels, dash panels, and trunk floor reinforcements, with moderate forming capability and balanced mechanical properties for semi-structural inner panels.

As a Bake Hardenable steel, LMS-S008-CR-BH-240Y/340T offers a specific combination of strength and formability engineered for advanced automotive manufacturing. Bake hardening increases yield strength during the paint-bake cycle, improving dent resistance in finished panels.

Ameristeel maintains inventory of LMS-S008-CR-BH-240Y/340T 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 LMS-S008-CR-BH-240Y/340T include Uncoated, Galvanized, Electrogalvanized, Galvannealed, Zinc Magnesium, providing corrosion protection and surface preparation suited to your manufacturing process requirements.

LMS-S008-CR-BH-240Y/340T at 240 MPa yield and 340 MPa tensile compares to LMS-S008-CR-DP-290Y/490T (50 MPa lower yield at 290 MPa and 340 MPa vs 490 MPa tensile) and LMS-S008-HR-MI2-180Y/270T (60 MPa higher yield at 180 MPa and 340 MPa vs 270 MPa tensile). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
