  • Patent number: 11566296
    Abstract: A method of production non grain-oriented Fe—Si steel sheet is provided. The method includes the steps of melting a steel composition that contains in weight percentage: C?0.006, 2.0?Si?5.0, 0.1?Al?3.0, 0.1?Mn?3.0, N?0.006, 0.04?Sn?0.2, S?0.005, P?0.2, Ti?0.01, the balance being Fe and other inevitable impurities, casting said melt into a slab, reheating said slab, hot rolling said slab, coiling said hot rolled steel, optionally annealing the hot rolled steel, cold rolling, annealing and cooling the cold rolled steel down to room temperature.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8715427
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a steel composition, a process for producing a steel product having said composition, and said steel product itself. According to the invention, a cold-rolled, possibly hot dip galvanized steel sheet is produced with thicknesses lower than 1 mm, and tensile strengths between 800 MPa and 1600 MPa, while the A80 elongation is between 5 and 17%, depending on the process parameters. The composition is such that these high strength levels may be obtained, while maintaining good formability and optimal coating quality after galvanising. The invention is equally related to a hot rolled product of the same composition, with higher thickness (typically about 2 mm) and excellent coating quality after galvanising.

  • Publication number: 20120018058
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a process comprising a cold rolling step, for the production of uncoated, electro-galvanised or hot dip galvanised TRIP steel products, hot rolling a slab of a specific composition, wherein the finishing rolling temperature is higher than the Ar3 temperature, to form a hot-rolled substrate, cooling said substrate to a coiling temperature (CT) between 500° C. and 680° C., coiling said substrate at said coiling temperature, pickling said substrate to remove the oxides, cold rolling said substrate to obtain a reduction of thickness, with a minimum reduction of 40%.

  • Publication number: 20060140814
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a steel composition intended to be used in a process including a cold rolling step, for the production of uncoated, electro-galvanized or hot dip galvanized TRIP steel products, the composition being characterized by a specific addition of phosphorus. The latter is added in order to reach the desired mechanical properties (high tensile strength in combination with high elongation) while keeping a good weldability by sufficiently reducing the carbon content. The invention is further related to a process for producing a steel product, and to the steel product obtained, said product having the composition of the invention.
