SAE J2340 340X HSLA 50 — COLD ROLLED / HOT ROLLED Steel

SAE J2340 340X is a hsla 50 grade cold rolled / hot rolled steel conforming to the sae standards. At 340 MPa minimum yield strength, this is medium-strength structural steel for longitudinal rails, shotgun members, and frame reinforcement channels.

The X suffix denotes solution-hardened (micro-alloyed) HSLA steel with niobium, vanadium, or titanium additions for grain refinement and precipitation strengthening.

Ameristeel maintains inventory of SAE J2340 340X in various gauges and widths, available as coils, sheets, or custom blanks. Our ISO 9001:2015 certified processes ensure consistent quality from prototype through production volumes.

Available coating options for SAE J2340 340X include Galvanized, Galvanneal, Electrogalvanized, providing corrosion protection and surface preparation suited to your manufacturing process requirements.

SAE J2340 340X at 340 MPa yield compares to SAE J2340 300X (40 MPa higher yield at 300 MPa) and SAE J2340 380X (40 MPa lower yield at 380 MPa). Selecting the right grade depends on the balance between strength requirements and forming complexity for your specific stamping application.
