Hi everybody,
I need average HSLA steel content data of passenger cars, trucks and other vehicle if it's available
thank you

Quick guess: trucks:not much cars: say 30kg

HSLA has its place, but most of the car structure is STIFFNESS limited, and HSLA is no help there.

Do you know content of HSLA 250?
thanks
RE: HSLA steel content of vehicles
However 250 is not much of a step up from boggo sheet, I doubt it has much exotic content, it is probably just made from a better grade of scrap with some carbon removed (WAG).

HSLA is covered under specifications like SAE J2340 Categorization and Properties of Dent Resistant, High Strength, and Ultra High Strength Automotive Sheet Steel. The grades start with 300S, which has a minimum yield stress of 300 MPa.
Greg,
I am not sure what boggo sheet is, but I will assume it is one of the drawing quality/deep drawing quality/extra deep drawing quality grades used to make most of the body-in-white for an automobile. These steels have very low carbon concentration (typically < 0.1 mass percent, or even <0.002% for Interstitial Free grades) so that they have low strength and can be very formable.
HSLA develops its strength by forming carbide particles, so it must have carbon (and either Ti, Nb, or V). The carbon concentration for these is typically (0.02 to 0.13) mass percent.
Any steel for automotive structures will be made from the highest quality steel, either from an integrated steel supplier that uses iron ore and some scrap or from a mini-mill that uses up to 100% scrap steel as the raw material.

Cory
