Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1013785A1] A component is produced from a strip of rolled (especially hot-rolled) sheet steel, by coating with aluminum or its alloy and pressing operations. The process involves: (a) coating the rolled sheet with a metal or an alloy assuring protection of the surface and the steel; (b) raising the temperature of the coated sheet for forming; (c) producing, at the surface, an intermetallic alloy composite assuring protection against corrosion and decarburation of the steel, with the intermetallic composite able to assure a lubrication function; (d) forming the coated sheet, notably by pressing; (e) cooling the formed component in order to confer increased hardness of the steel and increased surface hardness in the coating. The metal used for coating the steel sheet is aluminum or an aluminum alloy, so that the intermetallic alloy composite is made up of aluminum, iron and silicon.
