Abstract

Provided is a cold-rolled high-strength steel having a tensile strength of not less than 1500 MPa and an excellent formability, the chemical elements thereof having the following mass percent ratios: 0.25%-0.40% of C, 1.50%-2.50% of Si, 2.0%-3.0% of Mn, 0.03%-0.06% of Al, P≤0.02%, S≤0.01%, N≤0.01% and at least one of 0.1%-1.0% of Cr and 0.1%-0.5% of Mo, with the balance being Fe and other unavoidable impurities. The microstructure of the cold-rolled high-strength steel has 5%-20% of residual austenite and 70%-90% of martensite, and the carbon concentration ratio of the residual austenite to the martensite is greater than 3.5 and less than 15. The cold-rolled high-strength steel sheet has a high strength and an excellent formability through a rational ingredient design and microstructure control.

Claims (18)

1. A cold-rolled high-strength steel comprising the following chemical elements in mass percentage:

C: 0.25-0.40%, Si: 1.50-2.50%, Mn: 2.0-3.0%, Al: 0.03-0.06%, P≤0.02%, S≤0.01%, N≤0.01%, at least one of: 0.1-1.0% of Cr and 0.1-0.5% of Mo, and at least one of: 0.01-0.1% of Nb, 0.01-0.2% of V, and 0.01-0.05% of Ti, with the balance being Fe and other unavoidable impurities;

wherein, the microstructure of the cold-rolled high-strength steel has 5-20% of residual austenite, 70-90% of martensite, and a ratio of the carbon concentration of the residual austenite to that of the martensite is more than 3.5 and less than 15,

wherein the microstructure of the cold-rolled high-strength steel further comprises ferrite, and

wherein the cold-rolled high-strength steel has a tensile strength of 1500 MPa or more.

2. The cold-rolled high-strength steel according to claim 1 , wherein mass percentages of the chemical elements satisfy: Mn+Cr+Mo≤3.8%.

3. The cold-rolled high-strength steel according to claim 1 , wherein mass percentages of the chemical elements satisfy:
