LMS-S008-CR-MS-860Y/1100T Martensitic — Cold Rolled Steel

LMS-S008-CR-MS-860Y/1100T is a martensitic grade cold rolled steel conforming to the lucid material specifications. At 860 MPa minimum yield strength, this is hot-stamped-equivalent steel for critical occupant protection zones and maximum intrusion resistance, with extreme tensile strength for maximum occupant protection performance in the most severe crash scenarios.

LMS-S008-CR-MS-860Y/1100T is a Martensitic steel at 860 MPa yield and 1100 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-860Y/1100T in production-ready gauges and widths suited to high-strength stamping applications. As a 860 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-860Y/1100T 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 860 MPa yield, the coating selection for LMS-S008-CR-MS-860Y/1100T should account for forming severity and post-stamping corrosion exposure in the final application.

LMS-S008-CR-MS-860Y/1100T at 860 MPa yield and 1100 MPa tensile compares to LMS-S008-CR-CP-780Y/980T (80 MPa higher yield at 780 MPa and 1100 MPa vs 980 MPa tensile) and LMS-S008-CR-DP-700Y/980T (160 MPa higher yield at 700 MPa and 1100 MPa vs 980 MPa tensile). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
