Abstract
In this paper, recent research and development of modern steel sheets for automobiles has been reviewed. Therefore, the steel sheets introduced here are not only types in commercial production but also those until now only reported in technical papers. Besides steel sheets themselves, some technologies contributing to promoting the use of the steel sheet have been introduced, namely hot stamping technology for producing super high-strength parts, and a computer program system consisting of models for predicting microstructure and mechanical properties of steel sheets, a key technology in the future for realizing a modern supply chain management for automotive steel sheets.
