Abstract

The demand for formable high-strength steel (HSS) sheets has recently increased to reduce the weight of automotive bodies. The 340MPa (Tensile Strength) grade steel sheets are widely used for body inner and outer panels. Especially, super formable 340MPa grade steel sheets with high r-value have an excellent deep drawability compared with the other 340MPa grade steel sheets. It is very available for a part such as rear floor, center floor and dash panels used conventional mild steels up to now. We developed a super formable HSS by optimization of chemical composition, texture control and heat treatment control. It has good mechanical properties with excellent formability (tensile strength: 343MPa, elongation: 41.1% and $\bar{r}=2.1$).
