Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for producing a coated steel sheet having a tensile strength of at least 1450 MPa and a total elongation of at least 17% is provided. The method includes providing a cold rolled steel sheet having a chemical composition in weight %: 0.34%≤C≤0.45%, 1.50%≤Mn≤2.30%, 1.50%≤Si≤2.40%, 0%<Cr≤0.7%, 0%≤Mo≤0.3%, 0.10%≤Al≤0.7%, optionally 0%≤Nb≤0.05%, and a remainder of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The sheet is annealed at an annealing temperature higher than the Ac3 transformation point of the steel, quenched to a quenching temperature lower than the Ms transformation point of the steel and between 150° C. and 250° C., reheated to a partitioning temperature between 350° C. and 450° C., maintained at the partitioning temperature for at least 80 s, then coated by galvannealing, with an alloying temperature between 470° C. and 520° C. A steel sheet is also provided.
