Abstract (en)

Cold strip contains specified amounts of carbon, niobium, titanium, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, sulfur, aluminum, nitrogen, chromium, copper, nickel, molybdenum, tin, boron, and a balance of iron and impurities. The strip has a bake hardening property of BH0 15 N/mm squared and BH2 20 N/mm squared, good deforming properties, a yield point of 170-230 N/mm squared and an n-value of at least 0.18. Cold strip contains (in wt.%) at most 0.003 carbon, at least 0.005 niobium, 0.005 titanium, at most 0.1 silicon, at most 0.2 manganese, at most 0.015 phosphorus, at most 0.015 sulfur, 0.005-0.05 aluminum, at most 0.004 nitrogen, at most 0.05 chromium, at most 0.05 copper, at most 0.05 nickel, 0.02 molybdenum, 0.02 tin, 0.004 boron, and a balance of iron and impurities. The strip has a bake hardening property of BH0 15 N/mm squared and BH2 20 N/mm squared, good deforming properties, a yield point of 170-230 N/mm squared and an n-value of at least 0.18. An Independent claim is also included for a process for the production of the cold strip.

Abstract (de)

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Kaltband und ein Verfahren, das mit Bake-Hardening-Eigenschaften von BH0 > 15 N/mm<2> und BH2 > 20 N/mm<2>, gute Verformungseigenschaften, eine Streckgrenze von 170 N/mm<2> bis 230 N/mm sowie einen n-Wert >= 0,18 aufweist, enthaltend (in Gew.-%) C: <= 0,0030 %, Nb: >= 0,005 % mit der Maßgabe, daß der Gehalt an Nb < (93/12) * %C beträgt, mit %C = C-Gehalt in Gew.-%, Ti: < 0,0050 %, wahlweise eines oder mehrere der folgenden Legierungselemente Si: <=0,10 %, Mn: <=0,20 %, P: <=0,015 %, S: <=0,015 %, Alg: 0,005 - 0,05 %, N: <=0,0040 %, Cr: <=0,05 %, Cu: <=0,05 %, Ni: <=0,05 %, Mo: < 0,020 %, Sn: < 0,020 %, B: < 0,0004, und als Rest Eisen sowie übliche Verunreinigungen.
