6 MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS
@ M

6.1 Steel Types - bare and substrate for coated products

es 0 P

6.1.1 Mild Steels

ar :1

Mild steels are characterized by low yield strength and high ductility and are especially suited for the
nh 02

production of complex parts. They are produced as aluminum killed non-IF grades or as IF grades. Soft
IF grades have an excellent formability, show very low carbon and nitrogen contents, and are stabilized
by the addition of titanium and/or niobium.
.li 0
co 02

6.1.2 High Strength IF-Steels (IF)

ar , 2

High Strength IF-steels have very low contents of carbon and nitrogen and are stabilized by the addition
m 06

of titanium and/or niobium. As a consequence, these steels show a nearly unlimited suitability for
storage. Their higher strength is achieved by solid solution hardening with adding manganese,
er

phosphorus and/or silicon. A higher work-hardening, no pronounced yield point, high elongations and r
values result in an excellent formability.
b
to

6.1.3 Bake Hardenable Steels (BH)

Oc

The higher strength of bake hardenable steels is achieved by solid solution hardening adding
manganese, phosphorus and silicon. The dissolved carbon in the lattice results in a defined increase in
on

yield strength after heat cycles that usually occur in automotive paint processes (e.g. 170 °C, 20 minutes).

Bake hardening index should be determined per EN 10325.

Bake hardening effect improves the dent resistance for exposed outer panels. Since this shift in the
mechanical properties (yield strength, elongation, n-value) is a time and temperature driven process, the
suitability for storage of this steels is limited.
 Page: 9/44
MS.50002
Change Level: T

6.1.4 High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSLA)

S
r RE
Micro-alloyed Steels achieve their high strength through alloy additions of niobium, titanium, and
vanadium. Those alloying elements can be added either alone or in combination. Alternatively, carbon-

.b HA
manganese alloying concepts in combination with grain refinement can be used. Structure shall be
ferritic with evenly distributed fine grains. The grains shall not have preferential orientation. The size of
the grains, determined as per Standard UNI EN ISO 643, is to be 10 or finer. Size 9 grains are allowed

om IN
only in percentages less than 10 %. Type A inclusions are not to exceed grade 3 of the JK scale (ASTM

.c L
E45 method A).

es id:
6.1.5 Fine Grain Low Alloy Steels (MC)

nt er
The fine grain microstructure of these micro-alloyed steels is achieved by finely dispersed precipitations

ne us
(mostly carbides and/or nitrides) in combination with final rolling at a certain temperature range, the
thermo-mechanical rolling. Due to their fine grained structure, small grain size low alloyed steels show
high fatigue strength.

6.1.6 Dual Phase Steels (DP)

po 1) -
om +
pc TC

The microstructure of dual phase steels consists of a soft ferrite matrix with a dispersed mainly
martensitic phase. At a given high tensile strength dual phase steels show a low yield ratio (YS/UTS) and
a strong work hardening capacity. Therefore, dual phase steels are especially suited for forming
cm (U

operations with high stretching portions.

@ M

6.1.7 TRIP Steels (TR & TB)

es 0 P

TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) or retained austenite steels have a fine-grained ferritic-bainitic
microstructure with embedded retained austenite. Small portions of martensite can also be present.
ar :1
nh 02

During plastic deformation retained austenite transforms to martensite and leads to a strong work
hardening (TRIP effect). High tensile strengths with high values of the uniform elongation can be
.li 0

achieved. The combination of work and bake hardening results in high component strengths. TRIP
co 02

steels are suited for stretch forming and deep drawing where high press and blank-holder forces and a
strong springback effect have to be considered.
ar , 2

TRIP steel are also available with fine bainitic matrix in place of ferrite, and are termed as TRIP assisted
m 06

Bainitic (TB) steels. These steels show better performance with respect to regular TRIP, a higher YS and
UTS due to bainitic-ferritic matrix and higher ductility due to stable retained austenite. This microstructure
er

also provides better stretch flangeability and bending behaviour.

b

The TRIP-Bainitic cold rolled steel grades, included in Tables 12, 25, 35, & 36 contain significant amounts
to

of austenite in their microstructure. These steel grades when supplied with a zinc coating (GI, EG, GA)
Oc

will require additional development for arc, laser and spot welding processes. Application engineers must
receive approval from Materials Engineering when specifying an arc or laser welding process for joints
using a combination of these materials and coatings.
on

6.1.8 Ferritic-Bainitic Steels (FB)

Ferritic-bainitic steels are characterized by a matrix of ferrite or strengthened ferrite containing bainite or
strengthened bainite. The high strength of the matrix is caused by grain refinement, precipitation of
micro-alloying elements and a high dislocation density.
 Page: 10/44
MS.50002
Change Level: T

6.1.9 Multiphase Steel (MP)

S
r RE
Complex phase steels are characterized by a multiphase microstructure containing mostly a ferritic-
bainitic matrix whereas martensite, tempered martensite, retained austenite and pearlite can be present

.b HA
as additional phases. The extremely fine-grained microstructure is generated by retarded recrystallization
or precipitation of micro-alloying elements.

om IN
Compared to dual phase steels they show a higher yield ratio, lower work hardenability and good hole

.c L
expansion ratios.

es id:
6.1.10 Ferritic Steel with Nano-precipitates Strengthening (FN)

nt er
FN steels are Hot Rolled steels characterised by finely dispersed nano-precipitates (mostly carbides and

ne us
nitrides) in a single phase ferritic microstructure. The single phase microstructure enables these low
alloyed steels to offer a combination of high tensile elongation and hole expansion ratio (HER), compared
to hot rolled Multiphase materials of similar strength level.

6.1.11 Martensitic Steels (MT)

po 1) -
om +
pc TC

Martensitic steels have a mainly martensitic microstructure with small amounts of ferrite and/or bainite
and thus a very high strength. Drawability is limited; these steel grades are more suited for bending
processes like roll forming.
cm (U

6.1.12 TWIP Steels (TW)

@ M
es 0 P

TWIP steels have a high manganese content that causes the steel to be fully austenitic at room
temperatures. A large amount of deformation is driven by the formation of twins. The twinning causes a
high value of the instantaneous hardening rate (n value) as the microstructure becomes progressively
ar :1

finer with increasing plastic strain. The resultant twin boundaries act like grain boundaries and strengthen
nh 02

the steel. TWIP steels combine extremely high strength with extremely high stretchability.
.li 0

These steel grades when supplied with a zinc coating (GI, EG, GA) will require additional development for
co 02

arc, laser and spot welding processes. Application engineers must receive approval from Materials
Engineering when specifying an arc or laser welding process for joints using a combination of these
ar , 2

materials and coatings.

m 06

6.1.13 Structural Steel (ST)

er

Structural Steel are thermo-mechanically hot-rolled flat products made of high yield strength steels, fine
grained, weldable and suitable for cold forming.
b
to

6.1.14 Quenching & Partitioning Steel (QP)

Oc

QP heat-treatments of appropriately alloyed steels typically consist of an ‘Austenitization - Interrupted

Quench - Partition - Final Quench’ heat treatment procedure. During the partitioning stage carbon
on

escaping from the supersaturated martensite partitions into the austenite, stabilizing it and preventing
further transformation to martensite during the final quench to room temperature.

These steel grades when supplied with a zinc coating (GI, EG, GA) will require additional development for
arc, laser and spot welding processes. Application engineers must receive approval from Materials
Engineering when specifying an arc or laser welding process for joints using a combination of these
materials and coatings.

8 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MATERIAL

to
Oc

Products covered under this standard are to be procured only from mill sources that are qualified by FCA
US. See document SD.00013.
on

8.1 Mechanical Properties

The steel products shall meet the mechanical properties on delivery as specified in Table 15 through
Table 31. Tests shall be performed per LP.7M001 using a Type 1 sample (50 mm gage length, ASTM
type) or a Type 2 sample (80 mm gage length, DIN type), as required by the purchaser. For hot rolled
material (typical material with more than 1.8 mm of thickness), with a thickness > 3 mm, the tests shall be
performed using the proportional specimen with L0 = 5.65 √S0 (S0: specimen cross-sectional area) to
determine the elongation A for EMEA region.
 Page: 20/44
MS.50002
Change Level: T

The testing direction shall be longitudinal unless otherwise specified elsewhere in this document. The

S
yield strength shall be measured at 0.2 % offset. If yield point elongation is present, the lower yield

r RE
strength shall be used. Plastic strain ratio r shall be determined at 20 % strain per ISO 10113. Strain
hardening exponent n for all but the DP grades shall be determined at 10 to 20 % strain per ISO 10275.

.b HA
For DP grades, n shall be determined at 4 to 6 % strain, as well as at 10% to UE (uniform elongation).

om IN
Elongation is shown for both the ASTM 50 mm and DIN 80 mm gauge lengths. Compliance with the

.c L
standard is based on the 50 mm values.

es id:
For coated sheet steel products – coating shall not be removed from the tensile specimen before testing
and no compensation shall be made to the strength of the steel based on coating thickness.

nt er
ne us
Bake hardenable steels, dual phase steels and TRIP steels shall have yield strength increases due to
work hardening from strain imparted during forming and an additional strengthening increment that occurs
during the paint-baking process. This increase in yield strength is measured as BH2 index following EN

po 1) -
10325. om +
Hole Expansion Index (HEI) shall be measured following FCA lab procedure LP.7M047.
pc TC

For purpose of analysis of the strength of the stamped component, in many cases it is not possible to
conduct standard tensile test due to lack of flat surface area for specimen preparation. In such cases
cm (U

either the surface hardness or bulk hardness can be used for estimation of the material strength. Refer to
MS.50027 for relationship between the hardness and tensile properties.

10.1 Welding

.b HA
The steel substrates supplied to this standard shall be suitable for welding by the accepted local welding
methods. When the steel is used in welded applications, welding procedures shall be suitable for the

om IN
steel chemistry and intended service.

.c L
When welding is performed on a particular part made from sheet steels covered in this standard, it is the

es id:
responsibility of the steel supplier, the part manufacturer, and the welder of the parts (assembly) to
control both the chemical composition of the steel used and the welding process to ensure continuing

nt er
compatibility with the appropriate welding process employed. Basic material chemistry, steel thickness,

ne us
and welding processes and parameters used are major factors affecting weldability. Engineering
standards cannot cover all possible variables and circumstances for every application. Additional
restrictions and controls in manufacturing may be necessary by any or all parties concerned to produce

po 1) -
satisfactory parts and welds.
