A method for the production of cold-rolled metal-coated steel products with a low yield point - tensile strength, and resulting products

摘要

The present invention aims to produce a cold-rolled metal coated multi-phase steel, characterised by a tensile strength of at least 500 MPa, a yield ratio (Re/Rm) lower than 0.65 in skinned conditions, lower than 0.60 in unskinned conditions, and with good metal coating adhesion behaviour. In the case of the aluminised steel according to the invention, the steel also has superior resistance to temperature corrosion up to 900°C and excellent mechanical properties at this high temperature.;The hot metal coated steel product having a steel composition with a manganese content lower than 1.5 %, chrome content between 0.2 and 0.5 %, molybdenum content between 0.1 and 0.25 %, and a relation between the chrome and molybdenum content as follows Cr + 2Mo higher than or equal to 0.7 %, undergoes a thermal treatment in the hot dip metal coating line defined by a soaking temperature between Acl and Ac3, a primary cooling speed higher than 25 °C/sec and a secondary cooling speed higher than 4 °C/ sec.
