Patent granted for cold-rolled and heat treated steel sheet
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965225B2) discloses a cold-rolled and heat-treated steel sheet with a specific composition and structure. The steel composition includes elements such as carbon, manganese, silicon, aluminum, molybdenum, chromium, niobium, titanium, vanadium, boron, nitrogen, sulfur, and phosphorus, with the remainder being iron and unavoidable impurities. The structure of the steel sheet consists of retained austenite, intercritical ferrite, cementite, and martensite and/or bainite, with specific surface fractions for each component.
Furthermore, the patent claims specify various aspects of the steel sheet, such as the average carbon and manganese content in the retained austenite, the presence of intercritical ferrite, and the types of martensite present. The structure of the steel sheet can vary in terms of the surface fraction of each component, including retained austenite, intercritical ferrite, partitioned martensite, fresh martensite, and cementite. The patent aims to protect the unique composition and structure of the cold-rolled and heat-treated steel sheet, highlighting the importance of specific element percentages and microstructural characteristics for improved performance in various applications.
