Properties

Mechanical properties

Metallic coated steel for forming has the following mechanical properties. These are measured transverse to the rolling direction.
Property range is indicated according to EN 10346, but properties meet equivalent VDA 239-100 specifications also.

¹ If the yield point is not pronounced, the values apply to the 0.2% - proof strength R_p0.2 ; 
   if the yield strength is pronounced, the values apply to the lower yield point R_eL.
² Decreased minimum elongation values apply for product thickness t ≤ 0.50 mm (minus 4 units) and for 0.50 mm ≤ t ≤ 0.70 mm (minus 2 units).
   Elongation after fraction A uses test piece length L₀ = 80 mm.
³  For t > 1.5 mm, the minimum r₉₀ - value reduced by 0.2 applies.
   For t ≤ 0.7 mm, the minimum r₉₀ - value reduced by 0.2 and minimum n₉₀- value reduced by 0.01 apply.
