HSLA Steel Coil
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. Siegal Steel 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 is High Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) Steel?
HSLA steel stands for High-Strength Low-Alloy steel, which is a type of steel that contains low carbon levels, as well as small amounts of other elements such as copper, nickel, niobium, vanadium, and molybdenum. These additional elements increase the strength and toughness of the steel while maintaining good weldability and formability. HSLA steel coil is also more resistant to corrosion and rust than carbon steel.
HSLA Steel Benefits
There are several benefits of using HSLA steel, some of which include:
- High strength: HSLA steel has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than other types of steel, making it ideal for use in applications where weight is a concern.
- Improved toughness: HSLA steel contains small amounts of alloying elements that improve its toughness and resistance to cracking and deformation under stress.
- Good weldability: HSLA steel can be welded using a variety of methods, which makes it easy to fabricate and assemble into complex shapes and structures.
- Corrosion resistance: HSLA steel has good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and can be used in harsh outdoor environments without the need for additional coatings or treatments.
- Cost-effective: HSLA steel is a cost-effective alternative to other high-strength materials, such as carbon fiber and titanium, making it an attractive option for many applications.
Industries and Applications
HSLA steel coil is commonly used in structural and automotive applications, where high strength and durability are required. It has a wide range of applications in the construction, transportation, and manufacturing industries. HSLA steel coil is also commonly used in infrastructure for constructing bridges, cranes, or any applications that must handle large amounts of stress.
HSLA Steel Coil Properties
- Strength, Yield Strength ksi (MPa), Tensile Strength ksi (MPa): Stronger, 35-100 (240-690) - For higher strength and lower weight, consider Advanced High Strength Steel
- Formability: % Elongation: Good - For better formability, consider Deep Drawing Steel
- Corrosion Resistance: Fair - For better corrosion resistance, consider Coated Steel
