Abstract
A cold rolled and heat-treated steel sheet, the steel including, in weight percentage, 0.17%≤carbon≤0.25%, 2%≤manganese≤3%, 0.9%≤silicon≤2%, 0%≤aluminum≤0.09%, 0.01%≤molybdenum≤0.2%, 0%≤phosphorus≤0.02%, 0%≤sulfur≤0.03%, 0%≤nitrogen≤0.09%, and optionally one or more of the following elements 0%≤chromium≤0.3%, 0%≤niobium≤0.06%, 0%≤titanium≤0.06%, 0%≤vanadium≤0.1%, 0%≤calcium≤0.005%, 0%≤boron≤0.010%, 0%≤Magnesium≤0.05%, 0%≤Zirconium≤0.05%, 0%≤Cerium≤0.1%, and the balance including iron and unavoidable impurities, the steel sheet having a microstructure of—50% to 80% of Bainite, 10% to 30% of residual austenite, 15% to 50% of Partitioned martensite, 0% to 10% of ferrite and 0% to 5% fresh martensite in area fractions, and a ferrite-enriched layer extending up to 50 microns from both surfaces of the steel sheet, such ferrite-enriched layer having a mean ferrite content from 55% to 80% in area fraction.
