The defined requirements shall be mandatory and no characte

4、ristics shall conflict with these engineering specifications. 2. APPLICATION These Global specifications were released originally for stamped automotive body parts. 2.1 LIMITATIONS Variant A1 defined by this specification is intended for sheet metal gage thicknesses of less than or equal to 2.0 mm.

5、Variant A2 is intended for sheet metal gage thicknesses of 1.0 to 4.0 mm. 2.2 DEFINITIONS Both variants of this specification are suitable for Class 2 and Class 3 applications only. Variant A1 is a high formability alloy with controlled Lders lines. It is suitable for applications that do not experi

6、ence exposure to temperatures above 150C due to susceptibility to intergranular corrosion (e.g. door inner panels). Variant A2 is a general structural alloy suitable for all non-visible applications. 3. REQUIREMENTS 3.1 STANDARD REQUIREMENTS FOR PRODUCTION MATERIALS Material suppliers and part produ
