LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T Martensitic — Cold Rolled Steel

LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T is a martensitic grade cold rolled steel conforming to the lucid material specifications. At 1220 MPa minimum yield strength, this is extreme-performance martensitic steel for the most demanding anti-intrusion applications requiring peak load-bearing capacity, with extreme tensile strength for maximum occupant protection performance in the most severe crash scenarios.

LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T is a Martensitic steel at 1220 MPa yield and 1500 MPa tensile. The predominantly martensitic microstructure provides the highest strength levels in the LMS specification family, targeting anti-intrusion barriers and structural reinforcements where maximum load-bearing capacity takes priority over formability.

Ameristeel stocks LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T in production-ready gauges and widths suited to high-strength stamping applications. As a 1220 MPa yield cold rolled product, this specification is available in coil, sheet, and precision-blanked formats. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified facility triple-tests every coil (ID, OD, and center) to verify mechanical properties remain consistent throughout the entire length.

LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T 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; zinc-magnesium for enhanced edge and cut-edge corrosion protection. At 1220 MPa yield, the coating selection for LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T should account for forming severity and post-stamping corrosion exposure in the final application.

LMS-S008-CR-MS-1220Y/1500T at 1220 MPa yield and 1500 MPa tensile compares to LMS-S008-CR-MS-1030Y/1300T (190 MPa higher yield at 1030 MPa and 1500 MPa vs 1300 MPa tensile) and LMS-S008-CR-MS-860Y/1100T (360 MPa higher yield at 860 MPa and 1500 MPa vs 1100 MPa tensile). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
