View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

VAN QN (80) is a dual-phase steel with an equivalent yield strength of 80,000 psi and an exceptional combination of strength, formability, weldability, toughness and fatigue resistance. A dual-phase steel is one whose microstructure primarily consists of a mixture of ferrite and martensite or lower bainite. The high work-hardneing rate of VAN QN (80) permits the development of high strengths in formed parts in combination with excellent formability. Great weight savings have been achieved by its use for a number of automotive parts.
