Abstract From the Canadian patent

A low-yield-ratio high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet having the advantageous features of both conventional precipitation-strengthened steel and structure-strengthened steel and free from the drawbacks of these conventional steels, and a manufacturing method characterized in hot-rolling such a steel sheet. The steel sheet has an upper limit of C content of about 0.18 wt% and the lower C, content limit approximately satisfies C 0.05 + Ti/4 + Nb/8 in relationship with the content of Ti and/or Nb. The steel sheet also contains about 0.5 to 2.5 wt% Si and has a structure essentially formed of ferrite in which a carbide of Ti and/or Nb is precipitated, martensite and retained austenite.

Why it's free to use

  • Filed December 24, 1992 and granted May 20, 1997. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended December 24, 2012.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by December 24, 2014.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
