Product catalog summary
Introduction
phs-ultraform® is an innovative product by voestalpine that combines the benefits of press-hardened components with the corrosion resistance of hot-dip galvanized steel. It is designed for lightweight construction, offering design flexibility, dimensional accuracy, and process security, making it ideal for safety-critical components exposed to heavy corrosion, such as side members and pillars.
Advantages
  • Excellent cathodic corrosion protection
  • Capability to form complex components
  • Accommodates large component geometries
  • Superior crash behavior
  • High dimensional accuracy and uniform strength distribution
  • Minimal tool wear even with high production volumes
  • Good joinability through spot welding and adhesive bonding
Technical Specifications
Chemical Composition: The document provides detailed chemical compositions for phs-ultraform 490 and 1500, including maximum percentages of elements like Carbon, Silicon, Manganese, Phosphorus, and others.
Mechanical Properties: The tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation percentages are specified for both phs-ultraform 490 and 1500 in various conditions, including as-delivered and after hardening.
Processing Details
phs-ultraform is processed using indirect methods, involving cold-forming technologies followed by form-hardening in hot conditions. The process includes specific austenitization and cooling conditions to achieve desired mechanical properties.
Coating Information
The document outlines coating classes according to EN 10346, detailing layer thickness and composition. Typical values after hot forming are also provided.
Environmental Impact
The carbon footprint for the hot-dip galvanized steel strip is calculated as 2.3 kg CO2e/kg steel, following the worldsteel CML 2001-2016 methodology.
Disclaimer
The document states that the information provided is non-binding and serves as technical guidance. It emphasizes that specific properties are not guaranteed unless explicitly agreed upon in a contract.

phs-ultraform® data sheet | page 2/3 | 09/2021 In indirect processing, blanks made of phs-ultraform—including laser-welded blanks made of various steel grades and thickness combinations—are formed using conventional cold-forming technologies and are cut to final geometry. The material is subsequently form-hardened in hot condition. This adjusts the mechanical properties and finalizes the component geometries. The entire process chain can be simulated down to the detailed component properties. Chemical composition in mass % C Steel grade Mechanical properties in as-delivered condition: Tensile...
