Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020221628A1] The invention relates to a process for producing batch annealed tailor rolled steel strip is provided, comprising the following steps: a) casting a slab having a composition of (in wt%): C = 0 – 0.2; Mn = 2.0 – 4.0; Si ≤ 1.0; P = 0.001 – 0.05: S = 0.001 – 0.01; N ≤ 0.02; Al = 0.01 – 0.10; optionally: Ti ≤ 0.04; Nb ≤ 0.04; V ≤ 0.20; Mo ≤ 0.10; B ≤ 0.005; Cr ≤ 1.0; Ca ≤ 0.005, wherein Ti + Nb ≤ 0.05, wherein V + Mo ≤ 0.15, and wherein 2.0 ≤ Cr + Mn ≤ 4.0, the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities b) hot rolling the slab to a finish rolling temperature between 910 and 1100 °C c) cooling the hot rolled strip to a coiling temperature between 200 and 700 °C d) cold rolling the hot rolled strip with a reduction of at least 30% using differential rolling to produce different thicknesses within the strip, so as to produce a tailor rolled steel strip, to be cut into tailor rolled blanks e) batch annealing the differential cold rolled strip at a temperature between 650 °C and the Ac3 temperature of the strip, to obtain a batch annealed tailor rolled steel strip having a Rm of at least 570 MPa.
