HOT-STAMP STEEL AND METHOD OF ITS PRODUCTION Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC C22C38/06 C22C38/04 C21D8/02 

FIELD: metallurgy.

SUBSTANCE: claimed steel contains the elements that follow, wt %: C - 0.150-0.300, Si - 0.010-1.000, Mn - 1.50-2.70, P - 0.001-0.060, S - 0.001-0.010, N - 0.0005-0.0100, Al - 0.010-0.050 and, optionally, one or several of the following elements: B - 0.0005-0.0020, Mo - 0.01-0.50, Cr - 0.01-0.50, V - 0.001-0.100, Ti - 0.001-0.100, Nb - 0.001-0.050, Ni - 0.01-1.00, Cu - 0.01-1.00, Ca - 0.0005-0.0050, rare-earth metals - 0.0005-0.0050, Fe and unavoidable impurities making the rest. Metallographic structure comprises 80% and more of martensite in relative area and, optionally, one or several of the following phases: 10% or less of pearlite in relative area, 5% or less of residual austenite in relative area, 20% or less of ferrite in relative area and less than 20% of bainite in relative area. The product TS×λ of stretching strength TS and opening expansion factor λ makes 50000 MPa·% or more.

EFFECT: higher stretching strength and opening expansion factor.
