This SAE Recommended Practice establishes and defines requirements for grades of continuously cast automotive steel sheet that can be formed, welded, assembled, and painted in automotive manufacturing processes. These sheet steels can be specified as hot-rolled, cold-rolled, uncoated, or coated. Steel sheet can be coated by hot dipping, electroplating, or vapor deposition of zinc, aluminum, or organic compounds. Not all combinations of material types, strength levels, and coating types may be commercially available. Consult your steel supplier for availability. This specification defines the commonly used steel sheet grades within the automotive industry. Most of these grades have evolved from the grades listed in SAE J2329, SAE J2340, and SAE J2745 through a combination of current practice and customer demand.
