ASTM A1008/A1008M GRADE 45 (310) CLASS 1 HSLA Grade 45 — Cold Rolled Steel

ASTM A1008/A1008M GRADE 45 (310) CLASS 1 is a hsla grade 45 grade cold rolled steel conforming to the astm standards. At 310 MPa minimum yield strength, this is medium-strength structural steel for longitudinal rails, shotgun members, and frame reinforcement channels.

Class one requires tighter mechanical property tolerances with lower maximum yield variability, ensuring more predictable forming behavior in progressive die stamping operations.

The Class 1 designation indicates tighter mechanical property control with lower yield variability for precision stamping. Within the ASTM family, different class numbers reflect progressively different ductility and elongation requirements to suit varying stamping complexity.

ASTM A1008/A1008M GRADE 45 (310) CLASS 1 at 310 MPa yield compares to ASTM A1008/A1008M GRADE 45 (310) CLASS 2 (0 MPa lower yield at 310 MPa) and ASTM A1011/A1011 HSLAS GR45 (310) CLASS 1 (0 MPa lower yield at 310 MPa). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
