High Strength Steel
High Strength Steel is a type of alloy steel that provides better mechanical properties or greater resistance to corrosion than carbon steel. High Strength Steel includes conventional High-Strength Steels and advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS). The conventional high-strength steels include High Strength Low Alloy Steels, Bake Hardenable Steels, Carbon Manganese Steels, and others. Advanced High-Strength Steels (AHSS) are complex, sophisticated materials, with carefully selected chemical compositions and multiphase microstructures resulting from precisely controlled heating and cooling processes.
