AHSS Strip

DURELAST™ 800 & 900

A Better Solution to Dual Phase for Roll Forming Ultra High Strength Steel

DURELAST™ is a cold rolled, advanced high-strength steel (AHSS) specifically designed to deliver more predictable mechanical performance than dual phase steels (DP780, DP980). With yield strength ranging from 120-135 ksi (825 MPa – 930 MPa), it enables lightweighting opportunities without sacrificing bendability, weldability, or strength. By combining domestic availability with superior formability and weldability, DURELAST™ reduces supply chain risk while raising engineering performance standard for roll formed shapes, tubing, and bent profiles.

Key Features

Domestically Sourced

Produced in the U.S. for reliable supply and cost stability, DurElast eliminates tariff exposure and long overseas lead times

Lightweight Strength

Delivers yield strengths up to 143 ksi (985 MPa) to enable thinner-gauge designs that reduce weight without sacrificing structural integrity.

Tight Tolerances

Advanced cold reduction and gauge control to deliver tight, repeatable tolerances down to +/-.0005″.

Capabilities

DURELAST™ is produced domestically in a versatile range of sizes and strengths with thicknesses starting at 0.035″ (0.88 mm) and widths as narrow as 0.75″ (19 mm). Its low yield-to-tensile ratio offers exceptional strength-to-weight performance and consistent formability for predictable results.
