Method for producing a formed steel part having a predominantly ferritic-bainitic structure, - wherein a primary material is provided in the shape of a steel blank or a pre-formed steel part, which in each case is produced from a steel containing (in % by weight) C: 0.02 - 0.6%, Mn: 0.5 - 2.0%, Al: 0.01 - 0.06%, Si: max. 0.4%, Cr: max. 1.2%, P: max. 0.035%, S: max. 0.035%, and optionally one or more of the elements of the "Ti, Cu, B, Mo, Ni, N" group, with the proviso that Ti: max. 0.05%, Cu: max. 0.01%, B: 0.0008 - 0.005%, Mo: max. 0.3%, Ni: max. 0.4%, N: max. 0.01%, and the remainder as iron and unavoidable impurities, - wherein the primary material is heated through at a heating temperature lying between the Ac1 and the Ac3 temperature of the steel, such that at best incomplete austenitising of the primary material takes place, - wherein the primary material is placed into a press-form tool and formed therein into the formed steel part, - wherein the formed steel part is then heated to a bainite forming temperature, which is above the martensite starting temperature, however below the pearlite transformation temperature of the steel, from which the primary material is produced in each case, - wherein after cooling the formed steel part is maintained for an austempering period (tB) at the bainite forming temperature in a substantially isothermic manner, until the formed steel part has produced a structure consisting predominantly of ferrite and bainite, the martensite content thereof being less than 5%, wherein residual austenite contents of up to 10% may be present, and - wherein after the end of the austempering period (tB) the formed steel part is brought to room temperature. - wherein a primary material is provided in the shape of a steel blank or a pre-formed steel part, which in each case is produced from a steel containing (in % by weight) C: 0.02 - 0.6%, Mn: 0.5 - 2.0%, Al: 0.01 - 0.06%, Si: max. 0.4%, Cr: max. 1.2%, P: max. 0.035%, S: max. 0.035%, and optionally one or more of the elements of the "Ti, Cu, B, Mo, Ni, N" group, with the proviso that Ti: max. 0.05%, Cu: max. 0.01%, B: 0.0008 - 0.005%, Mo: max. 0.3%, Ni: max. 0.4%, N: max. 0.01%, and the remainder as iron and unavoidable impurities, - wherein the primary material is heated through at a heating temperature lying between the Ac1 and the Ac3 temperature of the steel, such that at best incomplete austenitising of the primary material takes place, - wherein the primary material is placed into a press-form tool and formed therein into the formed steel part, - wherein the formed steel part is then heated to a bainite forming temperature, which is above the martensite starting temperature, however below the pearlite transformation temperature of the steel, from which the primary material is produced in each case, - wherein after cooling the formed steel part is maintained for an austempering period (tB) at the bainite forming temperature in a substantially isothermic manner, until the formed steel part has produced a structure consisting predominantly of ferrite and bainite, the martensite content thereof being less than 5%, wherein residual austenite contents of up to 10% may be present, and - wherein after the end of the austempering period (tB) the formed steel part is brought to room temperature.
