ASTM A607 Steel, grade 60, cold rolled Product Information -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ## **Product Datasheet: ASTM A607 Grade 60 Cold-Rolled Steel Sheet & Strip** **Product Overview** ASTM A607 Grade 60 Cold-Rolled is a **premium high-strength, low-alloy (HSLA) steel sheet and strip** that represents the pinnacle of formable weathering steel performance. It delivers a **60 ksi minimum yield strength**, **guaranteed atmospheric corrosion resistance**, and the **superior surface quality, dimensional precision, and enhanced ductility** of the cold-rolling and annealing process. This grade is engineered for the most demanding applications where maximizing strength-to-weight ratio, achieving complex geometries through forming, and ensuring long-term durability with a high-quality finish are simultaneous requirements. It is the cold-rolled counterpart to hot-rolled Grade 60, offering significant advantages in manufacturability and finish quality. **Key International Standards** * **Primary Standard:** **ASTM A607** - Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet and Strip, High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Columbium or Vanadium, or Both, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled. * **Governing Specification:** This product conforms to all requirements for **Grade 60** in the **cold-rolled** condition. * **Type Classification:** **Type 1 (Columbium)** or **Type 2 (Vanadium)**. Denotes the primary microalloying element for grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. * **Corrosion Resistance:** Contains a **mandatory minimum copper content of 0.20%**, providing approximately **twice the atmospheric corrosion resistance** of plain carbon steel. This intrinsic weathering property is a standard feature. * **Material Condition:** Supplied in the **cold-rolled, annealed, and temper-rolled (skin passed)** condition. This process yields a fine-grained, ductile microstructure, exceptional surface smoothness, and tight dimensional control. **Chemical Composition (Weight % - ASTM A607 Grade 60 Requirements)** Chemistry is tightly controlled to achieve high strength while preserving essential fabricability. | Element | Requirement (Max, unless noted) | Purpose & Note | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Carbon (C)** | 0.26% | Primary source of strength; its effect is moderated by the annealing process. | | **Manganese (Mn)** | 1.35% | Major contributor to solid solution strengthening. | | **Phosphorus (P)** | 0.04% | Impurity control. | | **Sulfur (S)** | 0.05% | Impurity control. | | **Silicon (Si)** | 0.30% | Deoxidizer. | | **Copper (Cu)** | **0.20% min** | **Mandatory** for atmospheric corrosion resistance. | | **Columbium (Cb/Nb)** | 0.05% Max (Type 1) | Grain refiner for Type 1. | | **Vanadium (V)** | 0.15% Max (Type 2) | Precipitation strengthener for Type 2. | | **Carbon Equivalent (C.E. IIW)** | -- | Typically 0.42 - 0.50. Weldability is good but requires **qualified procedures**. | **Physical & Mechanical Properties** | Property | Requirement (ASTM A607 Grade 60) | Advantages of Cold-Rolled & Annealed Condition | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | **Yield Strength (Min)** | 60 ksi (415 MPa) | High and very consistent due to controlled thermomechanical processing. | | **Tensile Strength** | 75 ksi (515 MPa) min | Typically 80 - 92 ksi (552 - 634 MPa). | | **Elongation in 2" (Min)** | 17% | **Remarkable ductility for its strength level**, enabling moderate to severe forming operations not possible with hot-rolled 60 ksi material. | | **Surface Finish** | **Smooth, uniform matte finish** (temper rolled). | Premium, scale-free surface. Provides an optimal, clean substrate for high-end paint, powder coat, or electroplating finishes. | | **Dimensional Tolerance & Flatness** | Conforms to **ASTM A568** for cold-rolled sheet. | **Exceptional dimensional accuracy and flatness**, critical for precision stamping, robotic welding, and assembly. | | **Atmospheric Corrosion Resistance** | ~2x that of plain carbon steel. | Integral weathering property; offers superior edge protection and reduced undercoat corrosion if the finish is damaged. | | **Key Feature** | **Ultimate Formable High-Strength Weathering Steel:** Uniquely combines 60 ksi yield strength (the highest in the standard A607 series) with the formability and surface quality of a cold-rolled product, plus built-in corrosion resistance, for engineered components where performance, aesthetics, and durability converge. | **Product Applications** ASTM A607 Grade 60 cold-rolled sheet is specified for top-tier engineered products subjected to high stress, complex forming, and harsh environments. * **Automotive Safety & Chassis:** Critical structural reinforcements, seat frames, door intrusion beams, and chassis components requiring both high strength and a Class A paintable surface. * **Heavy Equipment Cab & Structures:** Complexly formed, high-strength cab components, ROPS/FOPS structures, and interior panels for construction and agricultural machinery. * **Advanced Architectural Systems:** High-performance curtain wall millions, sunshade supports, and architectural cladding elements where strength, flatness, and a flawless painted finish are paramount. * **Transportation:** Structural members for bus frames, railcar interior structures, and specialized trailer components. * **Industrial & Renewable Energy:** High-stress housings, mounting frames for solar trackers, and internal components for wind turbines exposed to corrosive atmospheres. * **Material Handling:** High-capacity, formed shelving components and automated storage/retrieval system parts. **Advantages & Fabrication Notes** * **Superior Weldability and Formability:** The annealing process restores significant ductility, making it suitable for **moderate to severe cold forming** (stamping, deep drawing, roll-forming) that would be challenging with hot-rolled 60 ksi steel. Welding is readily accomplished with standard processes (GMAW, GTAW, Resistance Welding), though low-hydrogen practice and controlled heat input are recommended. * **Premium Coating Performance:** The pristine, oxide-free surface ensures superior adhesion, corrosion protection, and aesthetic quality of applied organic coatings, directly translating to longer service life and higher product value. * **Manufacturing Efficiency:** Its consistent properties, excellent flatness, and tight tolerances improve manufacturing yield, facilitate automation, and reduce secondary processing (e.g., grinding, straightening). * **Lifecycle Value Proposition:** The combination of high strength (enabling thinner gauges), excellent formability, corrosion resistance, and superior finish results in a high-performance component with outstanding durability, justifying its premium material cost over the total product lifecycle. * **Design Flexibility:** Enables designers to consolidate parts, create complex shapes, and meet stringent performance targets in corrosive environments with a single material. **Disclaimer:** This datasheet describes **ASTM A607 Grade 60 Cold-Rolled, Annealed, and Temper-Rolled** sheet and strip. For procurement, specify: **ASTM A607, Grade 60, cold-rolled, annealed, temper-rolled**. Include requirements for **surface finish** and reference **ASTM A568** for dimensional tolerances. **Critical Distinctions:** * **vs. Hot-Rolled A607 Grade 60:** The cold-rolled version offers vastly better surface quality, formability, and dimensional precision, enabling more complex parts, higher-quality finishes, and greater manufacturing efficiency. * **vs. Non-Weathering AHSS (e.g., A1008 Martensitic Grades):** The key advantage is the integral, guaranteed atmospheric corrosion resistance, which is not present in standard AHSS grades. * **vs. A606 Type 4/5 Cold-Rolled:** A606 is a chemistry-based weathering steel. A607 Grade 60 provides a **guaranteed minimum 60 ksi yield strength**, offering greater reliability for structural design calculations. * **Toughness Certification:** For dynamically loaded applications, **supplementary Charpy V-Notch impact testing should be specified**, as it is not a standard requirement. This material is the strategic choice for OEMs and designers seeking to create market-leading products where superior mechanical performance, environmental durability, and manufacturing precision are critical competitive advantages. -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A607 Steel, grade 60, cold rolled Specification Dimensions Size： Diameter 20-1000 mm Length <4727 mm Size:We can customized as required Standard： Per your request or drawing We can customized as required Properties（Theoretical） Chemical Composition -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -: ASTM A607 Steel, grade 60, cold rolled Properties -:- For detailed product information, please contact sales. -:
