Application Considerations
steel designations  |  designator system  |  formability

High Strength Steel Sheet Uniform Designator System
1. Sheet Product Prefix
  HR = Hot Rolled
     
2. Yield Strength
  Numerical description of minimum yield strength in ksi
     
3. Chemical Composition
Each steel is designated by a letter classification
S = Structural Steel
X = Low Alloy
W = Weathering

4. Inclusion Shape Control
F = Killed Plus Inclusion Shape Control
X = Killed without Inclusion Shape Control

5. Tensile Strength
Numerical description of the minimum tensile strength in ksi
