Automotive Steel with a High Product of Strength and Elongation used for Cold and Hot Forming Simultaneously

A low-cost and easy-to-produce C–Mn–Cr automotive steel for both cold and hot forming is presented in this paper. The alloying element Cr was used to replace Mn in medium-Mn steel and instead of B in hot-formed steel, in order to achieve microstructure control and hardenability improvement, replacin...
