STANDARDS
High Strength Sheet Steel, 180 MPa through 700 MPa Yield Strengths
1 Scope
This standard covers the requirements for continuous cast sheet steel with specified minimum yield strengths
from 180 MPa through 700 MPa and is applicable to uncoated and coated, cold (CR) or hot rolled (HR) low
carbon, solid solution strengthened, bake hardenable (BH), and interstitial free (IF) or high strength low alloy
(HSLA) substrates with good formability. Continuously hot or cold rolled flat products shall be supplied as coils
or sheet. Hot rolled flat products are usually supplied in thicknesses >1.75 mm. These flat products are used
for cold forming and for manufacturing of welded tubes. Cold or hot rolled flat products with the appropriate
surface type and surface finish are suitable for the application of surface coatings (metallic hot dipping,
electrolytic plating, hot spray painting, organic coatings and/or other coatings). This specification does not
apply to steel for case hardening and cold reduced, work hardened strips. Additional requirements or
agreements shall be specified by regional GM business units, e.g., GM North America (GMNA), GM Europe
(GME), GM Brazil (GMB), and GM Korea (GMK).
1.1 Material Description. The material designation is defined by the GM Worldwide (GMW) base metal
specification number, steel product type, minimum yield strength, and finish type. The steel product type is
designated by CR for cold rolled products, or HR for hot rolled products. Microstructure free of banding, which
is caused by the interdendritic segregation of manganese during solidification, is specified for hot rolled HSLA
inclusion-controlled grades that are used for chassis applications.
A numeral, (180, 210, 240, etc.,) will designate the minimum yield strength level in MPa (Megapascals). A
designation of steel type shall be added to BH2, solid solution strengthened grades
Re-phosphorized and Interstitial Free (P and IF), structural automotive (SA) and high strength low alloy (LA)
steels as shown in Section 8. An F designation may be added on engineering and/or manufacturing
documents following an LA steel type to specify the steel as inclusion-controlled. A B designation is specified
for hot rolled LA F type grades which need to be free of microstructural banding. Anisotropy Index for banding
free grades is listed under Appendix C. The steel grades will correspond to the chemical and mechanical
requirements as shown in Table 1 through Table 5. The finish type, Pan alpha character, will designate the
finish as E (exposed) or U (unexposed). In addition, products which are not coated shall have the word
Uncoated added to the call-out after the steel type, but before the finish designation. A special requirement
for temper rolling may be required and shall be specified with a T designation. The descriptive items in this
section (1.1) are used together to form the coding system. Examples of the coding system for engineering part
drawings and manufacturing engineering documents are shown in Section 8.
1.1.1 Material Identification. See Appendix A, Table A1.
1.2 Symbols. Not applicable.
1.3 Applicability. Typical applications are coated or uncoated sheet metal parts consisting of high strength
sheet steel with specified minimum yield strengths from 180 MPa through 700 MPa.

3 Requirements
This section defines specific requirements for material on delivery, processing, performance and other stages
during life cycle. Deviations required for individual GM business units are listed in the Deviation Section at the
end of this specification and shall be agreed between Purchasing and supplier.
3.1 Requirements on Test Specimens. Not applicable.
3.2 Requirements on Delivery.
3.2.1 Chemical Requirements.
3.2.1.1 Base Metal. Base metal composition based on product (coil or sheet/blanks) analysis determined per
ASTM A751 shall conform to the requirements of Table 1 and Table 2. When end-product (coil/blank) test
results are not available, heat analysis may be used. Chemical composition on the end product is the referee
method.
3.2.1.2 Surface Treatment. Products coated with a designated lubricant (e.g., mill oil or pre-lube) shall comply
with GMW16546 and GMW16656 and/or be approved by the local business unit.
3.2.2 Mechanical Requirements. Products supplied to this specification shall meet the mechanical properties
as specified in Table 3 through Table 6. The mechanical test methods to be used are defined in GMW3335
using the appropriate tensile test piece required by the specific region. Tests shall be performed using samples
per ISO 6892 Type I, 50 mm gage length ASTM (ASTM International) type sample, ISO 6892 Type II
(80 mm gage length) German Institute for Standardization (DIN) type sample or JIS Z 2201 (No. 5 test piece).
Plastic strain ratio rm (r-bar) shall be determined at 20% strain. When uniform elongation is <20%, plastic strain
values shall be determined at the maximum of uniform elongation. The specific strain level shall be reported
with all test results. Strain hardening exponent n and strength coefficient K value shall be determined at
10% to 20% strain, or at 10% to end of uniform elongation when uniform elongation is <20% unless minimum
n-value is <0.12. In these cases, the strain hardening exponent must be determined at 6% to end of uniform
elongation. The specific strain range shall be reported with all test results. For tensile tests conducted to
ISO 6892, only longitudinal test samples should be used (except for rm value). Conformance to the rm (r-bar)
requirement shall be verified at the time of approval and at the time of the initial production shipment, unless
--````,,,``,,,,````,``,-`-``,```,,,`---
otherwise required by the local materials engineering or manufacturing department.

3.2.2.1 Mechanical Property Requirements of Solid Solution Strengthened and Bake Hardenable
Grades. Mechanical property requirements of solid solution strengthened (P and IF) and (BH2) cold reduced,
uncoated and coated sheet steel grades are based on the minimum as-received yield strength
(180 MPa, 210 MPa, 240 MPa, 270 MPa and 300 MPa) as shown in Table 3.
Bake hardenable steels have the additional requirement of a bake hardening index (BHI). All bake hardenable
grades shall attain an increase in yield strength of 30 MPa minimum in lower yield strength (longitudinal
direction and exclusive of work hardening) after 2% tensile strain and baking at +170 C for 20 minutes.
Mechanical properties for the B2 (BH2 grades) are shown in Table 3.
Bake Hardening and Work Hardening Indices shall be determined as detailed in Appendix B, Figure B1 and
Figure B2. The actual or measured bake hardening response for a production part depends on a number of
factors that must be considered. The amount of strain, the direction of strain relative to the test direction, the
actual part temperature/time in the paint bake ovens, etc., may all impact the observed bake hardening
response.
Note: The bake hardening index in this specification is a parameter that characterizes the general bake
hardening response of steel.

3.2.3.2.1 Surface Texture. Specific requirements for the surface texture for each region are detailed in the
Deviations Section at the end of this specification.
3.2.3.2.2 Surface Quality. The steel shall be free from surface defects as negotiated between purchaser and
supplier. For unexposed (U) surface, defects such as pores, slight indentations, small marks, minor scratches,
and slight coloring, which do not affect formability or the application of surface coatings, are allowed.
Exposed (E) surfaces shall be free of defects which might affect the uniform appearance of quality paint or an
electrolytic coating, electrodeposited primer, cathodic e-coat (ELPO). Certain applications require that both
surfaces of the steel be of exposed surface quality. A special requirement for temper rolling may be required
and shall be specified with a (T) designation. Other surfaces shall conform at least to unexposed surface
quality (U). Detailed requirements will be issued by the responsible formability analysis organization (e.g.,
GMNA Manufacturing Engineering Material Parts Specification (MPS) sheet, GM responsible manufacturing,
or metallurgical engineering document etc.

8 Coding System
This standard shall be referenced in other documents, drawings, etc., as follows:
Material per GMW3032
The coding system for GMW sheet steel specifications on engineering part drawings and GMNA
Manufacturing Engineering Metal Parts Specifications (MPS) Sheets and/or electronic math data files shall use
a nomenclature consisting of the material designation, minimum yield strength and surface quality or coating
designation. The engineering part drawing may also include the steel product type (HR or CR). If
manufacturing and/or product engineering determines the steel requires inclusion-control, an F may be
included following the steel type. Hot rolled HSLA grades that are inclusion controlled and need to have
banding free microstructure are designated by B in the material designation. In addition, if the engineering
part drawing does not include the steel product type (HR or CR), the manufacturing engineering group shall
select the desired product type based on such factors as availability, formability and cost, and shall include this
information on the appropriate engineering documents. The material designation is defined by the applicable
GMW base metal material specification which follows the GMW specification number system. The minimum
yield strength is specified in Megapascals (MPa) by a numerical designation.
The surface quality is designated as either E for exposed, or U for an unexposed application and T for temper
rolled. For coated applications, refer to GMW8 for hot dip zinc coatings, GMW11 for electrogalvanized
coatings, and GMW16066 for aluminized coatings. The GMW sheet steel specification shall be called out on

Note 1: The industry standard time and temperature to evaluate general bake hardenability of steel is +170 C for 20 minutes. This
standard is independent of the minimum time and temperatures required to effectively activate bake hardening. The GM standard
minimum ELPO paint bake oven requirements of +160 C for 15 minutes for heavy metal sections is adequate to meet the intent of the
bake hardening requirements of these steels.

Appendix C
When specified as a suffix letter B, the steel shall meet an Anisotropy Index, AI = 2.0 level of microstructural
orientation according to ASTM E1268.
