High strength rolled steel sheet product with favorable properties
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11993823B2) discloses a high-strength rolled steel sheet product that has undergone a two-step annealing process. The product comprises specific weight percentages of carbon, manganese, silicon, and aluminum, with a balance of iron. It contains ferrite, equiaxed retained austenite grains with a specific aspect ratio, and minimal untempered martensite. The steel sheet product demonstrates a combination of ultimate tensile strength and total elongation greater than 25,000 MPa %, along with a hole expansion ratio of at least 30 percent.
Furthermore, the patent outlines additional features of the high-strength rolled steel sheet product, including specific weight percentage ranges for silicon, aluminum, titanium, and niobium. The product's composition, including the percentages of carbon, manganese, and various alloying elements, contributes to its mechanical properties. The steel sheet product also exhibits specific volume percentages of ferrite and retained austenite, with the latter having an average grain size below certain microns. Additionally, the product may include a zinc-based coating and is typically hot rolled to achieve the desired characteristics outlined in the patent.
