Volkswagen VW standards

Volkswagen AG owns the car brands Audi, SEAT, ŠKODA, Bentley, Bugatti, Lamborghini, Porsche and Ducati as well as the truck brands Scania and MAN. With such a large conglomerate, it makes sense to standardize the required steel grades in a separate standard. The current steel standards of Volkswagen AG are presented briefly below and can be made available by us as coils, slit strips and sheet goods at short term.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time!

VW50065 – Flat steels for cold forming 

This standard is based on the VDA 239-100 standard. You can find details on the following VDA 239-100 pages

• Mild Steels according to VDA 239-100 – e.g. CR3, CR4 and CR5
• High Strength Steels according VDA 239-100 – e.g. CR300LA, CR340LA and CR380LA
• High Strength IF and BH steels according VDA 239-100 – e.g. CR210IF, CR240BH and CR270BH
• Dualphase- and Multiphase Steels according VDA 239-100 (DP, DH, TR, CP, FB and MS)
• Coatings and Surface Quality according VDA 239-100

VW50060-1 – Kaltgewaltze Dualphasenstähle – unbeschichtet und elektrolytisch verzinkt

The VW50060-1 refers to the minimum yield point when designating the grades. In the list below, the comparative quality is in brackets, based on the minimum tensile strength.

• HC260X (HCT450X)
• HC300X (HCT500X)
• HC340X (HCT590X)
• HC450X (HCT780X)
• HC600X (HCT980X)
• HC660X (HCT980X-HY (High yield point))

VW50060-1 – Cold rolled Dualphase steel – Hot-dip galvanizing

The VW50060-1 refers to the minimum yield point when designating the grades. In the list below, the comparative quality is in brackets, based on the minimum tensile strength.

• HC260XD (HCT450XD)
• HC300XD (HCT500XD)
• HC340XD (HCT590XD)
• HC450XD (HCT780XD)
• HC600XD (HCT980XD)
