Abstract (en)
[origin: DE19815022A1] The invention relates to deep-drawn parts made of sheet steel, especially used for motor vehicle bodies, and a method for the production of such deep-drawn parts. According to the invention, spring sheet steel which is already hardened in the initial state, namely austempered spring sheet steel, e.g. CK60 or C63 or 67SiCr5, is used for deep-drawing body parts in order to be able to easily manufacture deep-drawn parts which exhibit a high level of strength but, however, have a reduced weight and are less sensitive to denting. The stretching limit of the heat-treated sheet bar material ranges from 800 to 1800 N/mm<2>. The tensile strength lies above said range. By virtue of these strength values, sheet bars with a sheet steel thickness ranging from approximately 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm can be used, whereby the weight can be reduced by approximately 20 to 60 % of the present weight of parts. The inventive deep-drawn part is thus a lightweight structural member. In addition to austempering, the spring sheet metal can be hardened, for example, by cold rolling or by heat treatment.
