Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1061139A1] Stampable steel sheets are produced by: direct casting of a steel strip; first hot rolling in one or more steps at 950 degrees C to the Ar3 temperature, with total reduction ≥ 10%; second hot rolling in one or more steps in ferritic phase at 850 degrees C, with total reduction ≥ 50% using a lubricant to obtain a sheet of thickness of ≤ 2 mm; and complete recrystallization throughout the thickness at 700-800 degrees C. The composition of the molten steel used to produce the steel strip comprises (in weight %): carbon ≤ 0.1%, manganese 0.03-2, silicon 0-0.5, phosphorus 0-0.1%, boron 0-0.002%, titanium 0-0.15, and iron and inevitable impurities the remainder. Most preferably, the cast steel strip has carbon content less than 0.007%, the sum of carbon and nitrogen less than 0.007%, the sum of Ti and Nb less than 0.04%, manganese content 0.3-2. Casting of the strip is performed between two cooled horizontal rolls rotating in opposite directions. Between casting and the first hot rolling the strip is passed through a non-oxidizing atmosphere and/or is subjected to descaling. Forced cooling of the strip and can be carried out between the first and second hot rolling stages. Between the first hot rolling and the second hot rolling the strip is passed through a non-oxidizing atmosphere and/or is subjected to descaling. An Independent claim is given for a sheet produced by the above process.
