Abstract

A rolled steel product is given an elastic limit of 500 to 1200 MPa by selection of a particular steel composition and a particular heat treatment. The steel contains 0.10-0.50% C, 0.90-1.50% Mn, and 0.10-0.45% Si, and optionally 0.20-0.70% Ni, 0.10-0.80% Cr, and 0.02-0.10% V. The heat treatment consists of surface quenching from above the austenitization temperature by means of a fluid, the heat remaining in the product being sufficient to temper the martensite and/or bainite in the quenched surface.
