    摘要: A system for producing components by hot forming includes a conductive post-furnace heat station, a furnace, a computer system, and a press. The computer system comprises one or more physical processors operatively connected with the furnace in and the conductive post-furnace heat station. The one or more physical processors being programmed with computer program instructions which, when executed cause the computer system to control the furnace to heat the blank to a temperature that is below AC3 temperature; and control the conductive post-furnace heat station to heat a portion of the heated blank to a temperature above the AC3 temperature by thermal conduction. The press is constructed and arranged to receive the post-heated blank from the post-furnace heat station and to form the post-heated blank into the shape of the component.

    摘要: The invention relates to a steel strip, sheet or blank used for painted parts, wherein the steel strip, sheet or blank is optionally metallic coated. The steel is an Ultra Low Carbon (ULC) steel type having a composition of (in weight %): C: max 0.007 Mn: max 1.2 Si: max 0.5 Al: max 0.1 P: max 0.15 S: 0.003-0.045 N: max 0.01 Ti, Nb, Mo: if Ti≥0.005 and Nb≥0.005: 0.06≤4Ti+4Nb+2Mo≤0.60 otherwise 0.06≤Ti+2Nb+2Mo≤0.60 and one or more of the optional elements: Cu: max 0.10, Cr: max 0.06. Ni: max 0.08, B: max 0.0015, V: max 0.01, Ca: max 0.01, Co: max 0.01, Sn: max 0.01 resulting in a delta Waviness ΔWsa≤0.12 μm of the surface after the forming of the strip, sheet or blank.
