HSLA steel coil is very strong, highly formable and easy to weld. Unlike other steels, high strength low alloy steels are not made to meet a specific chemistry, rather specific mechanical properties.  We offers HSLA steel coil in grades 50, 60, 70, and 80 with additional processing capabilities. We provide additional cost savings by developing stock and release programs of high strength low alloy steel coil to match your inventory needs.

WHAT ARE HIGH STRENGTH LOW ALLOY STEELS?
High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) steels are very strong, highly formable, and easy to weld. HSLA steel is a type of carbon steel that has small amounts of alloying elements added to its chemical composition. The addition of these elements increases the strength, corrosion resistance, and hardness of the steel.

HSLA is a type of steel that is more resistant to corrosion and rust than carbon steels. HSLA Steels are made to specific mechanical properties rather than a chemical composition and are very strong and tough. HSLA steels are used in cars, trucks, cranes, bridges, and other structures where a better strength to weight ratio is important.

An alloy is metal prepared by adding other metals or non-metals to a basic metal to secure desirable properties. Alloy steel is steel containing substantial quantities of elements other than carbon and the commonly-accepted limited amounts of manganese, sulfur, silicon, and phosphorus. Addition of such alloying elements is usually for the purpose of increased hardness, strength, or chemical resistance. The elements most commonly used for forming alloy steels are: nickel, chromium, silicon, manganese, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium.
