Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015024903A1] The invention relates to a method for the simple production of a steel component of complex configuration having a tensile strength rm > 1200 mpa and a breaking elongation A50 > 6%. To this end, according to the invention, a flat steel product is provided, which, apart from iron and unavoidable impurities, contains (in weight percent): C: 0.10 - 0.60 %, Si: 0.4 - 2.5 %, AI: up to 3.0 %, Mn: 0.4 - 3.0 %, Ni: up to 1 %, Cu: up to 2.0 %, Mo: up to 0.4 %, Cr: up to 2 %, Co: up to 1.5 %, Ti: up to 0.2 %, Nb: up to 0.2 %, V: up to 0.5 %, wherein the the microstructure of the flat steel product is composed of at least 10 vol-% of residual austenite, which comprises globular residual austenite islands having a grain size of at least 1 μm. The flat steel product is heated to a forming temperature of 150 - 400 ⁰C, and at the forming temperature having a degree of deformation, which is at most equal to the uniform elongation ag, is shaped into the component. Finally, the flat steel product such produced is cooled down. A component formed in this way at increased temperatures has a considerably increased strength as compared to a component formed of the same flat steel product but at room temperature.
