  • Patent number: 11584971
    Abstract: A flat product of steel with yield strength Rp 0.2 of 660 to 820 MPa, BH2 value greater than 30 MPa, a hole expansion ratio greater than 30%, and a microstructure having a first main component at a proportion of at least 50%, including one or more individual components of ferrite, tempered bainite, and tempered martensite, each with less than 5% carbides, and a second main component at a proportion of 5% to 50%, including one or more individual components of martensite, residual austenite, bainite or perlite, with the steel having a following chemical composition (in weight %): C: 0.04 to 0.12; Si: 0.03 to 0.8; Mn: 1 to 2.5: P: max. 0.08; S: max. 0.01; N: max. 0.01; Al: up to 0.1; Ni+Mo; up to 0.5; Nb: up to 0.08; Ti: up to 0.2; Nb+Ti: min, 0.03; Cr: up to 0.6; the remainder being iron including unavoidable steel-associated elements.
