Abstract

A method for manufacturing a high-strength sheet including the steps of (i) providing a steel having a chemical composition consisting of, in percent by weight: 0.1%≤C≤0.4%, 4.5%≤Mn≤5.5%, 1%≤Si≤3%, and 0.2%≤Mo≤0.5%, a remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities; (ii) annealing a rolled sheet made of the steel by soaking the rolled sheet at an annealing temperature AT higher than an Actransformation point of the steel; (iii) quenching the sheet by cooling it down to a quenching temperature QT between the Ms transformation point of the steel and 130° C.; (iv) heating the sheet up to an overaging temperature PT between 300° C. and 500° C. and maintaining the sheet at said overaging temperature PT for an overaging time Pt greater than 10 s; and (v) cooling the sheet down to ambient temperature.
