Descriptions of Ford Steel Families
| Grade | Alloy Content | Heat Treatment | Typical Applications | Comments | 
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mild Steel, Bake Hardened, Solid Solution Strengthened | Low | Fully annealed/dead soft | Body panels (closures, floor pan, dash panel) | — | 
| High-Strength Low Alloy (HSLA) | Low | Fully annealed/dead soft | Rails, structural members | Strengthened with fine particles and small grain size | 
| Dual Phase Steel (DP) | Medium (Manganese Silicon, Molybdenum Chromium) | Fully annealed/partially hardened | Rails, structural members | 15-50% of structure is hard martensite | 
| Ultra High Strength Steel (UHSS) (Martensitic, Boron) | Low | Fully hardened | Rocker reinforcements, door beams, bumper beams | 100% of structure is hard martensite | 
| Transformation Induced Plasticity Steel (TRIP) | High (Manganese, Phosphorous, Silicon, Aluminum) | Fully annealed/partially hardened | To be determined | Complex microstructure for high strength and ductility |
