6 MATERIAL CHARACTERISTICS

6.1 Steel Types - bare and substrate for coated products

6.1.1 Mild Steels

Mild steels are characterized by low yield strength and high ductility and are especially suited for the
production of complex parts. They are produced as aluminum killed non-IF grades or as IF grades. Soft
IF grades have an excellent formability, show very low carbon and nitrogen contents, and are stabilized
by the addition of titanium and/or niobium.

6.1.2 High Strength IF-Steels (IF)

High Strength IF-steels have very low contents of carbon and nitrogen and are stabilized by the addition
of titanium and/or niobium. As a consequence, these steels show a nearly unlimited suitability for
storage. Their higher strength is achieved by solid solution hardening with adding manganese,
phosphorus and/or silicon. A higher work-hardening, no pronounced yield point, high elongations and r
values result in an excellent formability.

6.1.3 Bake Hardenable Steels (BH)

The higher strength of bake hardenable steels is achieved by solid solution hardening adding
manganese, phosphorus and silicon. The dissolved carbon in the lattice results in a defined increase in
yield strength after heat cycles that usually occur in automotive paint processes (e.g. 170 °C, 20 minutes).

Bake hardening index should be determined per EN 10325.

Bake hardening effect improves the dent resistance for exposed outer panels. Since this shift in the
mechanical properties (yield strength, elongation, n-value) is a time and temperature driven process, the
suitability for storage of this steels is limited.

MS.50002
Change Level: T

6.1.4 High Strength Low Alloy Steels (HSL A)

Micro-alloyed Steels achieve their high strength through alloy additions of niobium, titanium, and
vanadium. Those alloying elements can be added either alone or in combination. Alternatively, carbon-
manganese alloying concepts in combination with grain refinement can be used. Structure shall be
ferritic with evenly distributed fine grains. The grains shall not have preferential orientation. The size of
the grains, determined as per Standard UNI EN ISO 643, is to be 10 or finer. Size 9 grains are allowed
only in percentages less than 10 %. Type A inclusions are not to exceed grade 3 of the JK scale (ASTM
E45 method A).

6.1.5 Fine Grain Low Alloy Steels (MC)

The fine grain microstructure of these micro-alloyed steels is achieved by finely dispersed precipitations
(mostly carbides and/or nitrides) in combination with final rolling at a certain temperature range, the
thermo-mechanical rolling. Due to their fine grained structure, small grain size low alloyed steels show
high fatigue strength.

6.1.6 Dual Phase Steels (DP)

The microstructure of dual phase steels consists of a soft ferrite matrix with a dispersed mainly
martensitic phase. At a given high tensile strength dual phase steels show a low yield ratio (YS/UTS) and
a strong work hardening capacity. Therefore, dual phase steels are especially suited for forming
operations with high stretching portions.

6.1.7 TRIP Steels (TR & TB)

TRIP (Transformation Induced Plasticity) or retained austenite steels have a fine-grained ferritic-bainitic
microstructure with embedded retained austenite. Small portions of martensite can also be present.

During plastic deformation retained austenite transforms to martensite and leads to a strong work
hardening (TRIP effect). High tensile strengths with high values of the uniform elongation can be
achieved. The combination of work and bake hardening results in high component strengths. TRIP
steels are suited for stretch forming and deep drawing where high press and blank-holder forces and a
strong springback effect have to be considered.

TRIP steel are also available with fine bainitic matrix in place of ferrite, and are termed as TRIP assisted
Bainitic (TB) steels. These steels show better performance with respect to regular TRIP, a higher YS and
UTS due to bainitic-ferritic matrix and higher ductility due to stable retained austenite. This microstructure
also provides better stretch flangeability and bending behaviour.

The TRIP-Bainitic cold rolled steel grades, included in Tables 12, 25, 35, & 36 contain significant amounts
of austenite in their microstructure. These steel grades when supplied with a zinc coating (GI, EG, GA)
will require additional development for arc, laser and spot welding processes. Application engineers must
receive approval from Materials Engineering when specifying an arc or laser welding process for joints
using a combination of these materials and coatings.

6.1.8 Ferritic-Bainitic Steels (FB)

Ferritic-bainitic steels are characterized by a matrix of ferrite or strengthened ferrite containing bainite or
strengthened bainite. The high strength of the matrix is caused by grain refinement, precipitation of
micro-alloying elements and a high dislocation density.
FCA standards and specifications are subject to frequent revisions. It is the user's responsibility to comply with current versions.

MS.50002
Change Level: T

6.1.9 Multiphase Steel (MP)

Complex phase steels are characterized by a multiphase microstructure containing mostly a ferritic-
bainitic matrix whereas martensite, tempered martensite, retained austenite and pearlite can be present
as additional phases. The extremely fine-grained microstructure is generated by retarded recrystallization
or precipitation of micro-alloying elements.

Compared to dual phase steels they show a higher yield ratio, lower work hardenability and good hole
expansion ratios.

6.1.10 Ferritic Steel with Nano -precipitates Strengthening (FN)

FN steels are Hot Rolled steels characterised by finely dispersed nano-precipitates (mostly carbides and
nitrides) in a single phase ferritic microstructure. The single phase microstructure enables these low
alloyed steels to offer a combination of high tensile elongation and hole expansion ratio (HER), compared
to hot rolled Multiphase materials of similar strength level.

6.1.11 Martensitic Steels (MT)

Martensitic steels have a mainly martensitic microstructure with small amounts of ferrite and/or bainite
and thus a very high strength. Drawability is limited; these steel grades are more suited for bending
processes like roll forming.

6.1.12 TWIP Steels (TW)

TWIP steels have a high manganese content that causes the steel to be fully austenitic at room
temperatures. A large amount of deformation is driven by the formation of twins. The twinning causes a
high value of the instantaneous hardening rate (n value) as the microstructure becomes progressively
finer with increasing plastic strain. The resultant twin boundaries act like grain boundaries and strengthen
the steel. TWIP steels combine extremely high strength with extremely high stretchability.

These steel grades when supplied with a zinc coating (GI, EG, GA) will require additional development for
arc, laser and spot welding processes. Application engineers must receive approval from Materials
Engineering when specifying an arc or laser welding process for joints using a combination of these
materials and coatings.

6.1.13 Structural Steel (ST)

Structural Steel are thermo-mechanically hot-rolled flat products made of high yield strength steels, fine
grained, weldable and suitable for cold forming.

6.1.14 Quenching & Partitioning Steel (QP)

QP heat- - Interrupted
Quench - Partition -
escaping from the supersaturated martensite partitions into the austenite, stabilizing it and preventing
further transformation to martensite during the final quench to room temperature.

These steel grades when supplied with a zinc coating (GI, EG, GA) will require additional development for
arc, laser and spot welding processes. Application engineers must receive approval from Materials
Engineering when specifying an arc or laser welding process for joints using a combination of these
materials and coatings.

Refer to PS.50027 for coating process.

6.2.8 Physical Vapor Deposition (ZV)

Zinc vapor are deposited under vacuum directly on to the continuously moving sheet steel surface to
produce a thin adherent uniform layer. Process involves zinc vapor production in a vapor generator
through thermal activation and subsequently deposited through a wide array jet to achieve very high
deposition rate to achieve high corrosion performance product. Coating is especially suited for AHSS
sheet due since this process involves much lower sheet temperatures and no exposure to hydrogen.

Refer to PS.50055 for coating process.

6.3 Coating Mass

Coating mass for coated steel sheets shall be determined in accordance with ISO 1460. Either coating
mass or coating thickness may be used to determine the coating class shown in Table 2.

8 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS OF THE MATERIAL

Products covered under this standard are to be procured only from mill sources that are qualified by FCA
US. See document SD.00013.

8.1 Mechanical Properties

The steel products shall meet the mechanical properties on delivery as specified in Table 15 through
Table 31. Tests shall be performed per LP.7M001 using a Type 1 sample (50 mm gage length, ASTM
type) or a Type 2 sample (80 mm gage length, DIN type), as required by the purchaser. For hot rolled
material (typical material with more than 1.8 mm of thickness), with a thickness > 3 mm, the tests shall be
performed using the proportional specimen with L0 = -sectional area) to
determine the elongation A for EMEA region.
FCA standards and specifications are subject to frequent revisions. It is the user's responsibility to comply with current versions.
For more information contact Engineering Standards Group at email engstds@fcagroup.com and/or Normazione Group at normazione@fcagroup.com

MS.50002
Change Level: T

The testing direction shall be longitudinal unless otherwise specified elsewhere in this document. The
yield strength shall be measured at 0.2 % offset. If yield point elongation is present, the lower yield
strength shall be used. Plastic strain ratio r shall be determined at 20 % strain per ISO 10113. Strain
hardening exponent n for all but the DP grades shall be determined at 10 to 20 % strain per ISO 10275.

For DP grades, n shall be determined at 4 to 6 % strain, as well as at 10% to UE (uniform elongation).

Elongation is shown for both the ASTM 50 mm and DIN 80 mm gauge lengths. Compliance with the
standard is based on the 50 mm values.

For coated sheet steel products coating shall not be removed from the tensile specimen before testing
and no compensation shall be made to the strength of the steel based on coating thickness.

Bake hardenable steels, dual phase steels and TRIP steels shall have yield strength increases due to
work hardening from strain imparted during forming and an additional strengthening increment that occurs
during the paint-baking process. This increase in yield strength is measured as BH2 index following EN
10325.

Hole Expansion Index (HEI) shall be measured following FCA lab procedure LP.7M047.

For purpose of analysis of the strength of the stamped component, in many cases it is not possible to
conduct standard tensile test due to lack of flat surface area for specimen preparation. In such cases
either the surface hardness or bulk hardness can be used for estimation of the material strength. Refer to
MS.50027 for relationship between the hardness and tensile properties.

10 SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

10.1 Welding

The steel substrates supplied to this standard shall be suitable for welding by the accepted local welding
methods. When the steel is used in welded applications, welding procedures shall be suitable for the
steel chemistry and intended service.

When welding is performed on a particular part made from sheet steels covered in this standard, it is the
responsibility of the steel supplier, the part manufacturer, and the welder of the parts (assembly) to
control both the chemical composition of the steel used and the welding process to ensure continuing
compatibility with the appropriate welding process employed. Basic material chemistry, steel thickness,
and welding processes and parameters used are major factors affecting weldability. Engineering
standards cannot cover all possible variables and circumstances for every application. Additional
restrictions and controls in manufacturing may be necessary by any or all parties concerned to produce
satisfactory parts and welds.

10.1.1 Application of Laser Welding

The ability to apply laser lap or butt welds with requisite quality depends upon the specific combination of
materials and material coatings intended for joining. All intended applications of laser welding shall be
reviewed in detail with the current author of PS.50005 to determine an appropriate course of evaluation
prior to any engineering release of laser welding. This requirement applies to all materials detailed in this
standard.

10.2 Surface Texture and Finish

The steel surface will fall under one of the three categories, Exposed (E), Unexposed (U), or Bumper
quality (B).

10.2.1 Unexposed (U)

Material surface shall be free of any major mill defects such as lamination, pinchers, scale, scabs, seams,
laps, holes, slivers, gouges, scratches or any other similar defect that may damage the substrate.
Included with major mill defect will be a coating defect that can reduce the corrosion performance of the
material. These defects could be bare spots, unalloyed edges or any mill condition that compromises
coating adhesion. Steel should be free from burrs and foreign material introduced during subsequent
processing steps prior to stamping. Special surface conditions can be pre negotiated and noted on the
metal spec and PO.

The cold rolled steel sheet shall meet the surface roughness requirements for unexposed applications as
shown in Figure 2 (North America Assembly Plants), Figure 3 (European Assembly Plants) and Figure 4
(LATAM Assembly Plants). These requirements are not applicable to hot rolled sheet and tubing made
from either hot rolled or cold rolled sheet steel.

10.2.2 Exposed (E)

Material surface shall be free of defects that might affect the uniform appearance of quality paint or an
electrolytic coating (elpo electro-deposited primer, cathodic e-coat). Steel should be free from burrs,
foreign material introduced during subsequent processing steps prior to stamping. The steel sheet shall
meet the surface texture requirements for critical exposed applications as shown in Figure 2 (North
FCA standards and specifications are subject to frequent revisions. It is the user's responsibility to comply with current versions.

America Assembly Plants), Figure 3 (European Assembly Plants) and Figure 4 (LATAM Assembly
Plants).

10.2.3 Bumper Quality (B)

Stamped steel surfaces that are decorative plated or painted must be capable of meeting part
appearance requirements as defined by a master sample. Decorative plated bumpers shall meet the
specified standard as agreed between purchaser and supplier. Post-forming metal finishing may be used
on selected surfaces to meet appearance requirements for decorative bumpers.

Surface shall be free of pits, laminations, inclusions, pickups, or other defects which may affect
appearance, durability, or function, once plated or painted and as agreed between supplier and
purchaser.

Bumper quality steel supplied to this standard shall utilize a minimum ½% temper or skin pass to
sufficiently eliminate stretcher strain (Lüders Lines) in the formed bumper product. Use of bumper quality
steel does not necessarily preclude the need for post-forming and pre-plating/painting metal finish in local
areas to meet appearance requirements.

Chemical composition limits covered in Section 7 are relaxed for Mn and P content when the following
sheet steel grades are supplied with Bumper Quality (B) surface requirements:

LAC240Y320T 0.85% max Mn and 0.14% max P

LAC270Y340T 1.3% max Mn and 0.14% max P
LAC300Y360T 1.3% max Mn and 0.14% max P
LAC340Y410T 1.5% max Mn and 0.04% max P

Surface Finish for Sheet Steel for Plated Bumpers

Decorative plated bumpers shall follow requirements of FCA standard PS.50019.

Mill Finish Blanks - All temper rolled steel supplied under this specification shall have the following
surface finish: Ra 0.9 microns (35 micro in) maximum, and Rm 80 microns (300 micro in) maximum.

Flat Polished Blanks - Steel blanks shall be finished using a combination dry and wet abrasive belt
sequence to Ra 0.3 microns (12 micro in) maximum and Rm 3 microns (118 micro in) maximum, prior to
forming. To allow for metal removal in flat polishing, the upper tolerance limit of thickness per PS.50009 is
increased by 0.07 mm.

Surface Finish for Sheet Steel for Painted Bumpers

Painted bumpers shall be processed to meet FCA specification for Cathodic Epoxy Electro-coat
MS.90124 followed by powder coat per MS-PE-16-2. Cold rolled or hot rolled steel shall be capable of
being painted to meet finished part quality requirements.

The surface finish of sheet steel to be used for painted bumpers should have Ra 1.4 microns (55 micro-
inch) maximum, and Rm 80 microns (300 micro-inch) maximum. For zinc coated steel refer to Section 6.2
for requirements on, but not limited to, coating composition, coating mass, and coating adhesion.

See Section 6.4 for nomenclature and material call out for use on drawings and engineering documents.
