This article reports on the development of a Precipitation‐Hardenable‐Ferritic‐Pearlitic steel (PHFP steel) for energy‐efficient and distortion‐reduced production of cold‐formed, high‐strength structural components. Based on an alloying concept containing 0.8 wt% copper, a technology for the production of screws is developed to exploit the precipitation‐hardening effect of copper for increasing strength by ageing while avoiding final quenching.
