MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T HSLA 60 — Hot Rolled Steel

MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T is a hsla 60 grade hot rolled steel conforming to the fiat/chrysler specifications. At 420 MPa minimum yield strength, this is high-strength steel for front-end structure components, rocker inners, and A-pillar reinforcements, with structural stamping capability for load-carrying components requiring consistent thickness reduction.

This specification uses the hot-rolled low-alloy (LAH) process route, offering cost-effective structural properties with wider gauge availability for underbody applications.

MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T is a Low Alloy / HSLA steel at 420 MPa yield and 480 MPa tensile. Micro-alloying elements in MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T — typically niobium, vanadium, or titanium — provide grain refinement and precipitation strengthening, delivering structural-grade mechanical properties with good weldability and formability for automotive and industrial applications.

Ameristeel carries MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T across a range of gauges and widths in hot rolled form, available as coils, sheets, or custom-cut blanks. With 420 MPa minimum yield strength, this hsla 60 specification requires precise handling and testing — our ISO 9001:2015 certified processes include third-party laboratory verification on every incoming coil.

MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T is supplied with the following coating options: hot-dip galvanized (zinc) for general corrosion resistance; galvanneal (zinc-iron alloy) for superior paint adhesion and weldability; electrogalvanized for precise coating weight control and smooth surface finish. At 420 MPa yield, the coating selection for MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T should account for forming severity and post-stamping corrosion exposure in the final application.

MS 50002-LAH 420Y-480T at 420 MPa yield and 480 MPa tensile compares to MS 50002-LAC 420Y-480T (0 MPa lower yield at 420 MPa and 480 MPa vs 480 MPa tensile) and MS 50002-DPC 420Y-780T (0 MPa lower yield at 420 MPa and 480 MPa vs 780 MPa tensile). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
