TRIP 590/600 Steels

TRIP 590/600 steel is recommended for medium-strength structural parts responsible for crash energy management whenever superior formability is required.

Typical Mechanical Properties for TRIP 590/600

Product	Yield Strength [MPa]	Tensile Strength [MPa]	Elongation [%]	n-value 10%-UE	True Stress/Strain Curve	FLD Curve
HDGA	400	625	30.0	0.23	N/A	N/A

Example of Stress/Strain Curve

Forming Limit Curve

Formability of 590/600T steel is much better than conventional HSLA steel of equivalent grade. Experimental FLC will be available in the future.

Bake Hardening

for 590/600T HDGA Steel in a Typical Paint Baking Cycle

Yield strength of 590/600T HDGA steel increases more than 75 MPa after deformation to 2% and baking in a typical paint baking cycle.
