The invention relates to a method for producing a hot-rolled strip composed of a bainitic multi-phase steel and having a Zn&#x2014;Mg&#x2014;Al coating, comprising the following steps: melting a steel melt containing (in weight percent): C: 0.04-0.11, Si: &#x3c;=0.7, Mn: 1.4-2.2, Mo: 0.05-0.5, Al: 0.015-0.1, P: up to 0.02, S: up to 0.01, B: up to 0.006, and at least one element from the group Nb, V, Ti in accordance with the following condition: 0.02&#x3c;=Nb+V+Ti&#x3c;=0.20, the remainder being iron including unavoidable steel-accompanying elements resulting from the melting process, casting the steel melt into a preliminary material, in particular a slab or a block or a thin slab, hot rolling the preliminary material into a hot-rolled strip having a final rolling temperature in the range of 800 to 950&#xb0; C., cooling the hot-rolled strip to a winding temperature less than 650&#xb0; C., winding the hot-rolled strip at a winding temperature less than 650&#xb0; C., cooling the wound hot-rolled strip to room temperature in still air, wherein the microstructure of the wound hot-rolled strip then has a bainite fraction greater than 50% after the hot rolling, heating the hot-rolled strip to a temperature greater than 650&#xb0; C. and less than Ac3, in particular less than Ac1+50&#xb0; C., cooling the hot-rolled strip to zinc bath temperature, hot-dip coating the heated hot-rolled strip in a zinc alloy molten bath containing (in weight percent): Al: 1.0-2.0, Mg: 1.0-2.0, the remainder being zinc and unavoidable impurities. The invention further relates to the hot-rolled strip produced in accordance with the method above and to shaped, dynamically highly loadable components, in particular motor vehicle parts, that are produced from said hot-roiled strip and that are resistant to corrosive and abrasive influences.
