description With the background of emission peaks and carbon neutrality, light weight has become an irreversible trend in the development of the automobile industry. It is an inevitable choice to use a large amount of ultra-high-strength steels to realize light weight and safety of automobiles. Ultra-high-strength martensitic steels can be divided into hot-formed steels and cold-formed steels according to the forming process. In recent years, ultra-high-strength martensitic steels have been rapidly developed in automotive battery pack frameworks, door guard beams, bumpers, A-pillars, etc., depending on their good plasticity and advanced forming technology. In this paper, the recent progress of ultra-high-strength martensitic steels for automobiles is systematically reviewed, the mechanisms of alloying, strengthening, and toughening are emphatically expounded, and the hydrogen embrittlement problems in application are summarized. Finally, the prospects of manufacture and application of ultra-high-strength martensitic steels for automobiles in the future are forecasted.
