REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

REPAIRING HIGH STRENGTH STEEL

High Strength Steel (HSS)

INFOID:0000000009176366

High strength steel is used for body panels in order to reduce vehicle weight.

Accordingly, precautions in repairing automotive bodies made of high strength steel are described below:

Read the following precautions when repairing HSS:
1. Additional points to consider:

• The repair of reinforcements (such as side members) by heat-

ing is not recommended since it may weaken the component.

When heating is unavoidable, do not heat HSS parts above

550

°C (1,022°F).

Verify heating temperature with a thermometer.

(Crayon-type and other similar type thermometers are appro-

priate.)
