Abstract
The invention relates to a method for producing thermomechanically produced hot strip products in which a steel alloy is melted; the steel alloy is adjusted so that a recrystallization during the hot rolling is suppressed; the final rolling temperature is greater than 800° C.; the melted steel alloy is cast into slab ingots and after being heated to a temperature above Ac, the slab ingots are hot rolled until they reach a desired degree of deformation and a desired strip thickness; after the rolling, the strip is cooled to room temperature and for hardening purposes, is briefly heated to a temperature >Ac3 and cooled again, characterized in that the heating takes place with a temperature increase of more than 5 K/s, more than 10 K/s, more than 50 K/s, or more than 100 K/s, and is kept at a desired target temperature for a period of 0.5 to 60 s before cooling to yield improved mechanical properties.
