Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011000351A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a component of an air-hardenable steel. The steel is composed of the following elements (contents in mass %): C < 0.20; Al < 0.08; Si < 1.00; Mn 1.20 to < 2.50; P < 0.020; S < 0.015; N < 0.0150; Cr 0.30 to < 1.5; Mo 0.10 to < 0.80; Ti 0.010 to < 0.050; V 0.03 to < 0.20; B 0.0015 to < 0.0060; the remainder being iron including the usual elements present in steel. According to the invention, a hot- or cold-rolled sheet steel or steel pipe section is heated to a temperature of dblank = 800 to 1050 °C and is subsequently formed in a shaping tool into a component. After removal from the tool, it is cooled in air wherein, after the removal from the shaping tool, the component still has a temperature above dremoval = 200 °C and below 800 °C and achieves the required mechanical properties during the air-cooling process.
