MS 50002-LAC 240Y-320T HSLA Grade 35 — Cold Rolled Steel

MS 50002-LAC 240Y-320T is a hsla grade 35 grade cold rolled steel conforming to the fiat/chrysler specifications. At 240 MPa minimum yield strength, this is structural-quality steel for inner body panels, dash panels, and trunk floor reinforcements, with moderate forming capability and balanced mechanical properties for semi-structural inner panels.

This specification uses the cold-rolled low-alloy (LAC) process route, providing tight thickness tolerances and controlled surface roughness for precision stamping.

Positioned as a mid-range low-alloy cold-rolled grade in the Fiat/Chrysler MS 50002 family, the LAC 240Y-320T designation delivers elevated load-bearing capacity compared to the 210Y tier while maintaining formability for moderately complex stampings. This grade targets structural cross-member reinforcements, seat mounting brackets, and instrument panel support structures where increased stiffness reduces gauge requirements and supports vehicle lightweighting objectives.

As a Low Alloy / HSLA steel, MS 50002-LAC 240Y-320T offers a specific combination of strength and formability engineered for advanced automotive manufacturing. This advanced high-strength classification meets demanding structural performance requirements.

MS 50002-LAC 240Y-320T at 240 MPa yield and 320 MPa tensile compares to MS 50002-LAH 240Y-320T (0 MPa lower yield at 240 MPa and 320 MPa vs 320 MPa tensile) and MS 50002-BHC 240Y-340T (0 MPa lower yield at 240 MPa and 320 MPa vs 340 MPa tensile). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
