- John
SteelPro Group provides HC460LA steel sheets for car makers who want strong, lightweight parts. Our materials help enhance vehicle performance, save fuel, and boost safety.
The following outlines the characteristics and applications of HC460LA steel, along with detailed specifications of HC460LA Steel plates. Additionally, we offer HC460LA Steel coils to meet various industrial needs.
What Is HC460LA Steel?
HC460LA Steel is a high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel commonly used in automotive applications for its superior balance of durability, malleability, and ease of welding. The “HC” stands for high strength cold-rolled, while “460” refers to the minimum yield strength in megapascals (MPa).
HC460LA Steel Products Dimensions Range
Our HC460LA steel coil products adhere to international standards such as EN 10268 and VDA 239-100. We maintain tight tolerance control to ensure consistent product quality.
We provide HC460LA steel products in the following size ranges:
HC460LA Steel Coils Size Range
- Thickness: 0.8 – 6.5 mm (0.031″ – 0.256″)
- Width: 900 – 2000 mm (35.4″ – 78.7″)

HC460LA Steel Coils Manufacturer and Process
The production process of HC460LA coils involves several key stages, including hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling, and annealing. After hot rolling, the pickling process removes the surface scale, followed by cold rolling to improve the surface finish and increase strength. Finally, annealing ensures uniform mechanical properties and enhances formability.
At SteelPro Group, we deliver high-quality HC460LA steel coils. We can offer comprehensive services from custom cutting solutions to surface enhancement treatments. Below is an overview of our specialized processing capabilities:
Custom Cutting Solutions
To meet varied industrial needs, we offer precision cutting processes tailored for HC460LA steel:
- High-Precision Laser Cutting: Ideal for creating intricate designs with minimal heat-affected zones, ensuring clean and smooth edges.
- Advanced Plasma Cutting: Suitable for thicker sheets, offering fast and cost-efficient cuts with high accuracy.
- Mechanical Shearing: Best for straight cuts in large batches, providing a balance of speed and precision.
High-Speed Stamping & Profiling
Our stamping services support mass production of uniform parts:
- High-Tonnage Stamping: Ensures fast production of critical automotive components with minimal variation.
- Roll Profiling: Continuous forming of sheets into long profiles, ideal for structural beams and reinforcements.
Surface Enhancement Treatments
To improve performance and longevity, we provide various surface finishing solutions:
- Hot-Dip Galvanization: Adds a thick zinc layer for corrosion protection, commonly used for exposed structural parts.
- Zinc Phosphating: Enhances surface adhesion for painting or coating.
- Electro-Coating (E-Coating): Provides an even, durable corrosion-resistant finish, ideal for high-exposure automotive parts.
