Abstract
A method for producing a cold rolled steel sheet having a tensile strength≥1470 MPa and a total elongation TE≥19%, the method comprising the steps of annealing at an annealing temperature AT≥Ac3 a non-treated steel sheet whose chemical composition contains in weight %: 0.34%≤C≤0.40%, 1.50%≤Mn≤2.30%, 1.50≤Si≤2.40%, 0%<Cr≤0.7%, 0%≤Mo≤0.3%, 0.01%≤Al≤0.07%, the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, quenching the annealed steel sheet by cooling it to a quenching temperature QT<Ms transformation point and between 150° C. and 250° C., and making a partitioning treatment by re-heating the quenched steel sheet to a partitioning temperature PT between 350° C. and 420° C. and maintaining the steel sheet at this temperature during a partitioning time Pt between 15 seconds and 250 seconds.
