Abstract:
A steel sheet has a composition comprising, by weight: 0.010%≤C≤0.080%, 0.06%≤Mn≤3%, Si≤1.5%, 0.005%≤Al≤1.5%, S≤0.030%, P≤0.040%, Ti and B such that: 3.2%≤Ti≤7.5% and (0.45×Ti)−1.35≤B≤(0.45×Ti)−0.43, optionally Ni≤1%, Mo≤1%, Cr≤3%, Nb≤0.1%, V≤0.1%, the remainder being iron and unavoidable impurities resulting from the smelting. The steel sheet has a structure consisting of ferrite, at most 10% of austenite, and precipitates comprising eutectic precipitates of TiB2, the volume fraction of TiB2 precipitates with respect to the whole structure being of at least 9%, the proportion of TiB2 precipitates having a surface area lower than 8 μm2 being of at least 96%.
