HIGH SILICON BEARING DUAL PHASE STEELS WITH IMPROVED DUCTILITY

摘要

A dual phase steel (martensite+ferrite) having a tensile strength of at least 980 MPa, and a total elongation of at least 15%. The dual phase steel may have a total elongation of at least 18%. The dual phase steel may also have a tensile strength of at least 1180 MPa. The dual phase steel may include between 0.5-3.5 wt. % Si, and more preferably between 1.5-2.5 wt. % Si.
