Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0851038A1] Steel contains by weight 0.03-0.16% carbon, 0.5-2% manganese, 0.05-0.5% silicon, 0-1.8% chromium, 0-0.25% molybdenum, 0.001-0.05% aluminium, 0.001-0.05% titanium, 0-0.15% vanadium, 0.0005-0.005% boron, 0.004-0.012% nitrogen and 0.001-0.09% sulphur, optionally also up to 0.005% calcium, 0.01% tellurium, 0.04% selenium and 0.3% lead and the rest iron and impurities. Proportions are governed by the following: Mn+0.9 Cr+1.3 Mo+1.6 V=at least 2.2%, and Al+Ti=at least 3.5 N. Also claimed are a hot-rolled semi-product of the steel with a bainitic structure and processes wherein pieces of the steel are hot-rolled, cut to size and then cold-formed, a bainitic structure being conferred by heating above 940 deg. C and quenching, either during and after hot-rolling or after cold-forming, also pieces of steel so formed.
