SAPH590 Steel Plate & Sheet – AUTOMOTIVE STEEL
SAPH590 Steel Plate & Sheet – AUTOMOTIVE STEEL
SAPH590 is a high-strength hot-rolled steel commonly used in the automotive industry for manufacturing structural components like chassis and suspension parts. The name “SAPH” stands for “Steel Automotive Press Hot,” indicating that it is specifically designed for automotive applications and produced through hot rolling. The “590” refers to its minimum tensile strength of 590 MPa, ensuring the material’s ability to withstand high stress and demanding conditions.
SteelPro Group provides SAPH590 steel sheets, plates, and coils certified to meet SAE, ISO, and JIS G3113 standards.
Description
What is SAPH590?
SAPH590 is a high-strength hot-rolled steel composed of approximately 98-99% iron and 1-2% alloying elements such as carbon, manganese, and silicon. It is typically available in solid, flat sheet forms and has a greyish metallic appearance. As a structural steel, SAPH590 is known for its high tensile strength, good formability, and excellent weldability. It is primarily used in the automotive industry to manufacture structural components like chassis parts, body panels, and suspension systems. The steel is processed through hot rolling, which enhances its mechanical properties and makes it suitable for forming complex shapes.We provide key processing services for SAPH590 steel, including slitting, cut-to-length shearing, bending, roll forming, and surface treatment. These services make our products ideal for automotive structural components.
Our available size range is as follows:- Thickness: 1.6 mm to 6.0 mm
- Width: 800 mm to 2,000 mm
- Length: 2,000 mm to 12,000 mm (for cut-to-length sheets)
Characteristics of SAPH590
SAPH590 steel is characterized by its high strength, making it suitable for load-bearing structural applications. It offers excellent formability, allowing for the manufacturing of complex shapes. The steel also has good corrosion resistance, making it suitable for various environments. Widely applicable, SAPH590 is primarily used in automotive structural components like chassis and wheels, meeting the high demands for strength and safety in the automotive industry. Additionally, its elongation rate of ≥19% indicates strong deformation capacity under stress, enhancing the safety and reliability of structures.Chemical Compositions

Machining
SAPH590 Heat Treating Instructions: SAPH590 steel is typically used in its as-rolled condition and does not require additional heat treatment. The properties are optimized through the hot rolling process.
SAPH590 Surface Finish: The surface of SAPH590 steel can be treated with methods such as hot-dip galvanizing, painting, or coating to enhance corrosion resistance and improve durability.
Custom grades can be produced upon request to meet specific requirements.
