In 1984, Kobe Steel developed and began selling highly ductile 980 MPa grade cold rolled steel characterized by a transformed microstructure. Recently, by applying the knowledge and technology obtained by producing this steel, advanced high-strength steels - such as dual-phase hot dip galvannealed steel, hot and cold rolled steel including retained austenite, and excellent stretch flangeability hot rolled steel, have been developed. Over the past few years and increasingly now, the demand for such steels has risen dramatically in the auto industry to reduce car body weight. (VDEh)
