About a decade ago, a consortium of thirty-five steel companies worldwide undertook a massive programme to design, build, and test an UltraLight Steel Auto Body (ULSAB).W-1. ULSAB proved to be lightweight, structurally sound, safe, executable and affordable. One of the major contributors to the success of the ULSAB was a group of new steel types and grades called Advanced High Strength Steels (AHSS) (or ultra high-tensile steel).

The main reason to utilize AHSS is their better performance in crash energy management, which allows one to down gauge with AHSS. In addition, these engineered AHSS address the automotive industry's need for steels with higher strength than conventional mild steels and enhanced formability. The DP (Dual phase) and TRIP (Transformation induced plasticity) steels may provide additional stretchability (but not bendability) compared to conventional steels such as HSLA steels within the same strength range. The CP (Complex phase) and MS (Martensitic) steels extend the strength range while maintaining the same formability.

While the ULSAB proved these AHSS provided a major benefit to the automotive industry, these steels reacted differently from traditional higher strength steels in forming and assembly. Worldwide working groups within the WorldAutoSteel organization created the AHSS Application Guidelines (See the link below) to explain how and why AHSS steels were different from traditional mild and higher strength steels in terms of press-forming, fabrication, and joining processes for automotive underbody, structural, and body panels designed for higher strength steels.

Grade of high tensile steel?

Grades of high tensile steel are based on their tensile strength and heat resistance. The best of these are used in axles and other high stress constructions that are required to operation safely.

What is the difference between carbon steel and mild steel?

Carbon steel includes mild steel. Mild carbon steel(as it is referred to) contains .05 - .29% carbon. Medium carbon steel is from .30 - .59%. High carbon steel is from .60 - .99%. Ultra high carbon steel is from 1.00 - 2.00%. Steel is considered carbon steel up to 2.1%. Past that it is considered cast iron. The more carbon in the steel the harder and less ductile and maleable it is and also the more brittle it is. The less carbon in the steel more it will bend and shape without breaking. So in essence carbon adds strength but takes away from its elasticity.

What is Hi-Ten Steel?

This is steel, the high-tensile kind to be exact. Hi-ten steel is pretty light, and decently durable. However, other materials are lighter and/or more durable. The only real advantage of hi-ten steel is that it's the cheapest. If you take a look at the bikes of BMX bike manufacturers, you'll see that their lower-end bikes are made out of steel. This is fine for most people, but if you actually do any EXTREME stuff with your bike, it's not built for performance.

Why use high tensile steel?

High tensile steel put simply is used where structures require high tensile strength. Tensile stress is where the forces on a material are "pulling" from each end away from the centre. Steel can be alloyed with certain materials such as aluminum to create a material that is stronger under tensile loading. An example of where high tensile steel is required is the cables of the ANZAC bridge that support its deck. Hope this helps..
