  • Patent number: 10526687
    Abstract: Provided is an ultra-high-strength steel sheet having a component composition that includes specific amounts of each of C, Mn, and Al and a remainder of iron and unavoidable impurities, and in which the amounts of each of P, S, and N among the unavoidable impurities are limited to a specific amount. The ultra-high-strength steel sheet includes 2 area% or more of a region having a structure that includes 90% or more of martensite and 0.5% or more of residual austentite by area ratio relative to the entire structure, the local Mn concentration in said region being at least 1.1 times that of the Mn content of the entire steel sheet. The ultra-high-strength steel sheet has a tensile strength of 1470 MPa or more.

  • Publication number: 20190032166
    Abstract: An ultra-high-strength steel sheet having a component composition that includes specific amounts of each of C, Si, Mn, and Al and a remainder of iron and unavoidable impurities, and in which the amounts of each of P, S, and N among the unavoidable impurities are limited to a specific amount. The ultra-high-strength steel sheet includes 1 area % or more of a region in which martensite constitutes 90 area % or more, residual austentite constitutes 0.5 area % or more, and the local Mn concentration is at least 1.2 times that of the Mn content of the entire steel sheet. The ultra-high-strength steel sheet has a tensile strength of 1470 MPa or more, a yield ratio of 0.75 or more, and a total elongation of 10% or more.
