A method for manufacturing a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of more than 1100 MPa and a yield strength of more than 700 MPa, a uniform elongation UE of at least 8.0% and a total elongation of at least 10%, made of a steel containing in percent by weight: 0.1% ≤ C ≤ 0.25%, 4.5% ≤ Mn ≤ 10%, 1% ≤ Si ≤ 3%, 0.03% ≤ Al ≤ 2.5% , the remainder being Fe and impurities resulting from the
smelting, the composition being such that CMnIndex = Cx(1 + Mn / 3.5) ≤ 0.6, the method comprising the steps of annealing a rolled sheet made of said steel by soaking it at an annealing temperature TA higher than the Ac1 transformation point of the steel but less than 1000°C, cooling the annealed sheet to a
quenching temperature QT between 190°C and 80°C at a
cooling speed sufficient to obtain a structure just after cooling containing
martensite and retained
austenite, maintaining the steel sheet at an overaging temperature PT between 350°C and 500°C for an overaging time Pt of more than 5 s cooling the sheet down to the ambient temperature. Sheet obtained.
