Abstract (en)

This invention relates to a process for producing a high strength steel product, wherein the product is produced from a hot-rolled and/or cold-rolled and annealed TWIP steel and having an initial ratio of yield strength and tensile strength, R i , and wherein a part of the TWIP steel is subsequently subjected to a cold reduction which is chosen such that the desired ratio of yield strength and tensile strength, R d , in the part is obtained. The invention also relates to a process for producing a tailor-rolled blank and to such a blank.
