Truck Chassis Steel Grade

High strength metric class 10 9.

Truck chassis steel grade.

Chassis frame rails and liners are cut and formed from high strength steels up to 140 000 ksi. We might be able to help by offering 1 2 thick steel in our grade 100 material for a strong single frame solution. Chassis rails on heavy duty trucks are usually made from mid strength alloy steel typically with yield strength of 500 750 mpa. He knows that much about truck frames.

Looking to eliminate rust between double truck frames. The flange distributes pressure over the surface eliminating the need for a washer. Toner president of toner associates pentwater michigan and the ntea s first staff engineer said the frame is the backbone of the truck because it carries the loads we put on trucks. The sheet metal work depends entirely on the car in question could be anything from plain old mild stampings and spot welds to high tensile boron alloyed steel with brazed joints.

It is important to choose the right grade to achieve the proper rbm for your truck. Truck frame rails and chassis components major chassis manufacturers rely on vicon fabricating for formed frame rails. We can assist in calculating the rbm of your truck frame s. We can fabricate new truck frames and even inner or outer reinforcement frames to help get your truck back in shape.

Our truck frames are fabricated strictly from hi tensile steel. This is a unique opportunity to look at the details and the complexity of the truck construction. The heat treated heavy truck frames made at dana corp s parrish frame plant were made from sae 1027m. Rusty truck frames can become very unsafe.

Richard toner has spent entire days giving a truck frame seminar for the national truck equipment association. Our unique capabilities allow oem s to focus on design options to utilize our equipment for efficiencies in assembly. The typical chemical composition of the material is 0 565c 1 8 si 0 7 mn 0 045 p and 0 045 s. Sub frames and attachment brackets are more likely to be made from mild steel yield 250 mpa or a low strength alloy yield 350 mpa so the material strength is probably about half that of the chassis rails.

Roll cages depend entirely on what your competition specs are but usually a 350n mm2 yield dom cds tube or 4140 t45 for the higher end. There are at a minimum seven grades of steel that make up the honda ridgeline. There are many grades of steel in the marketplace. Made from grade 8 steel these screws can be used in high stress applications such as valves pumps motors and automotive suspension systems.
