  • Patent number: 4426235
    Abstract: A cold-rolled high strength steel plate with excellent formability and baking hardenability, has the composition (% by weight) 0.2-0.15% of C, 0.02-0.7% of Mn, 0.01-0.1% of Al and 0.002-0.01% of N, optionally at least one element selected from the group consisting of 0.01-0.8% of Si, 0.01-0.1% of P, 0.0002-0.005% of B and 0.01-0.5% of V, and a microstructure comprising ferrite containing 2-30% of bainite and less than 8% of martensite.The steel plate is produced by hot and cold rolling steel of the defined composition followed by rapidly heating to a temperature between the Ac.sub.1 and Ac.sub.3 transformation points, holding at this temperature for less than 5 minutes, and quenching to a temperature below 500.degree. C. at a cooling rate between 50.degree. and 500.degree. C./sec.

  • Patent number: 4331488
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cold-rolled ultra low carbon steel sheet with improved press-forming properties, which comprises 0.002-0.015% of C, less than 0.006% of N, less than 0.01% of O, less than 0.02% of S, 0.1-0.35% of Mn, 0.01-0.06% of acid-soluble Al, 0.02-0.15% of Ti, and 0.05-0.4% of Cr, and has a value less than 0.8 for the atomic ratio (Ti*/(C+N)) of the total titanium content except titanium of oxide form (Ti*) to the sum of carbon and nitrogen contents, with the balance Fe and incidental impurities. This steel has sufficient values of yield and tensile strengths; is excellent in various properties such as elongation, work hardening index, r value, aging index and Erichsen value; and shows good press-forming properties without any special overaging treatment.
