SAPH370 Pickled Steel for Stamped Automotive Connecting Pieces
Published
SAPH370 is a hot-rolled coil grade for automotive structural use, often applied to stamped connectors. Purchasing should first check the material callout on drawings, then arrange surface condition such as pickling, and keep sample and production lots consistent. Jiangsu Gaozhen handles enquiries by grade, dimensions and processing requirements.
SAPH370: material and applications
SAPH370 is a hot-rolled coil grade for automotive structural use, serving forming and connecting functions in stamped connectors. Selection starts with the drawing callouts for grade, surface condition and thickness tolerance, then determines whether pickling or another surface state is needed. Pickling mainly addresses surface oxide and downstream coating compatibility; it does not change the grade's forming positioning. Purchasing should treat full consistency between sample and production lot as a basic requirement, and avoid substituting visually similar ordinary hot-rolled material for SAPH370 with specific material requirements. For holes, flanges and locating faces of connectors, material choice should be evaluated together with the forming sequence, not judged by appearance alone.

Connector Parts and Processing Steps
A drawing-based stamped connector typically includes mounting holes, flanges and locating faces. The relative position of holes and flanges affects assembly, while locating faces determine fit accuracy. Processing often starts with piercing or pre-piercing, then flanging, and finally trimming locating faces; the exact sequence should be evaluated with tooling conditions. Purchasing should provide gauge datum for key dimensions and the forming sequence to align incoming material with inspection. Full consistency between sample and production lot reduces material variation between trial and volume production.
Purchasing Alignment and Order Details
Before ordering, check the customer drawing's material callout to confirm grade, surface condition and tolerance requirements, then arrange pickling or another surface state. Gauge datum for key dimensions and the forming sequence should be submitted with the order so the supplier understands incoming inspection priorities. Full consistency between sample and production lot is essential, avoiding pickled sample versus another surface state in production. Delivery condition, packaging and marking need to align with the downstream stamping line to reduce secondary handling after uncoiling. For holes, flanges and locating faces of connectors, purchasing can confirm gauge datum with the tooling side, but material suitability still requires trial evaluation. Order details center on drawing and incoming consistency, not appearance-based substitution.
Is SAPH Just Another Name for Ordinary Hot-Rolled?
No. SAPH370 has specific material requirements and is a hot-rolled coil grade for automotive structural use; it cannot be substituted with ordinary hot-rolled material based on appearance. Purchasing should rely on drawing callouts and full grade consistency, with pickling or other surface states arranged as needed.
SAPH370 dimensions and supply enquiry
The Gaozhen SAPH370 product page lists these catalogue dimensions: Thickness range: 0.8-20 mm; Width range: 1000/1250/1500 mm. These values support specification discussions; confirm the required combination of gauge, width and condition for the material.
Discuss pickled stock alongside cut-to-length, slitting and drawing-based cutting. Include the later manufacturing route for parts requiring bending or joining.
