Description
High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels are very strong, highly formable, and easy to weld. They may resist corrosion and rust better than plain-carbon steels. HSLA Steels are made to provide specific mechanical properties rather than specific chemical compositions. Use hot rolled high strength low alloy steel grades in cars, trucks, cranes, bridges, and other structures where their high strength-to-weight ratio is most cost-effective.
Cost Savings
Because of its mechanical properties, Hot rolled HSLA steel coil can be used to save weight, yet increase strength. By using thinner, lighter steels with increased strength, high strength steels give more footage and thereby lower cost per pound.
Why Hot Rolled HSLA Coil Grades 35-100?
