Abstract
A coated dual-phase steel and process for producing the coated dual-phase steel is provided. The process includes providing a steel slab with a desired chemistry, soaking the slab at an elevated temperature and then hot rolling the slab to produce hot-rolled strip. The hot-rolled strip is coiled and has a ferrite-pearlite microstructure. The coiled hot-rolled strip is cold-rolled into cold-rolled sheet with at least a 60% reduction in thickness compared to the thickness of the coiled hot-rolled strip. The cold-rolled sheet is subjected to an intercritical anneal followed by rapid cooling with the absence of an isothermal heat treatment or hold after rapid cooling near the molten metal pot temperature—during which, before or after which the steel is coated. The coated steel sheet has a dual-phase ferrite-martensite microstructure, a yield strength of at least 310 MPa, a tensile strength of at least 580 MPa and a total elongation to failure of at least 18%.
