scope:

The materials defined by these Global specifications are fully killed, fine grained, high strength steel sheet with specified minimum yield strength between 180 MPa and 550 MPa and good forming, joining, and painting characteristics.

The steel sheet may achieve its final thickness by cold rolling, hot rolling, continuous thin-strip casting, or other means. All requirements of the specific variant are to be met regardless of the final thickness reduction method.

Specification WSS-M1P94-A shall be used where pre-coating by the steel supplier is required. All requirements of the specific variant are to be met with or without pre-coating, except as noted in these specifications or as noted as exceptions on the Engineering Drawing.

Ford Motor Company may, at its option and in agreement with the local or regional supplier, define additional and/or restricted technical delivery requirements such as mechanical properties, forming characteristics and surface texture, for a specific grade and/or part. The defined requirements shall be mandatory and no characteristics shall conflict with these engineering specifications.
