Benefits of technology

This patent is about a special type of steel sheet that has been cold rolled, coated with zinc, and then annealed. The annealing process improves the strength and flexibility of the steel sheet. The cold roll process increases the amount of certain elements in the sheet, such as carbon and silicon, which makes the steel stronger. The zinc coating helps to protect the sheet from corrosion, and the annealing process further improves its performance by making it more stretchy and flexible. The result is a safer, stronger, and more durable steel sheet that can be used in a variety of applications.

Problems solved by technology

Based on laboratory studies which simulated the CL HDGL thermal profile, the as annealed properties cannot meet the tensile property (mostly YS) and hole expansion requirements.

Abstract

A cold rolled, coated and post annealed steel sheet. The cold rolled steel sheet may comprise (in wt. %): C—0.1-0.3 %; Mn—1-3%; Si—0.5-3.5%; Al—0.05-1.5%; Mo+Cr is between 0-1.0%; and Mo+Cr is between 0.2-0.5%. The steel sheet may be coated with a zinc or zinc alloy coating. The coated steel sheet may be formed by cold rolling, zinc coating the cold rolled sheet and annealing said steel sheet after application of said zinc coating. The annealing is performed at a temperature and for a time sufficient to significantly increase the yield strength and hole expansion of the annealed coated cold rolled steel sheet as compared with the as coated sheet.
