Specification

Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to a galvannealed steel sheet and a manufacturing method thereof, more particularly, to high-galvannealed steel sheet strength and a manufacturing method thereof having a tensile strength of at least 440 MPa.
Background technique
[0002]
 Recently, because of the reduction and reducing fuel consumption emissions of carbon dioxide, weight reduction of automobiles it has been required. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for improvement in collision safety of automobiles. High strength steel is effective in improving the weight reduction of automobiles and collision safety.
[0003]
 Among auto parts, in the panel part, a high press-formability (deep drawability) is also required. Therefore, conventionally, the panel parts, high workability mild steel sheets have been used. However, even in the panel component, high strength of the above is required.
[0004]
 Patent Documents 1-3, has a high strength, and proposes an excellent cold-rolled steel sheet deep drawability. In the cold-rolled steel sheet disclosed in these documents, the average r value r defined by the following equation m high.
 r m = (r L + 2 × r 45 + r C ) / 4
[0005]
 R in the formula L is the cold-rolled steel sheet, which is parallel to the direction of the r values in the rolling direction. r 45 is the r value in 45 ° direction relative to the rolling direction. r C is a direction perpendicular r values in the rolling direction. r value is referred to as the Lankford value, indicating the plastic anisotropy of the steel sheet.
[0006]
 Of the panel components, more in parts having a shape such as a side frame outer, average r value r m not only is high, also required is that the are small in-plane anisotropy Δr value defined by the following formula . =
 [Delta] r (r L + r C ) / 2-r 45
[0007]
 Of the side frame outer, the four corners of the site where the door is fit, r 45 is required to have high, the hinge attachment portion of the door, r L is higher is required. Smaller plane anisotropy Δr value, it is possible to satisfy these requirements. In Patent Document 4, the average r value r m and high strength cold rolled steel sheet for deep drawing having excellent in-plane anisotropy Δr value is proposed.
[0008]
 Incidentally, as a cold-rolled steel sheet for automobiles steel, there is a case where a galvannealed steel sheet is used. Galvannealed steel sheet after hot-dip galvanizing process, is prepared by carrying out the alloying process. Galvannealed steel sheet is usually produced by in-line annealing system represented by Sendzimir method. The in-line annealing system represented by Sendzimir method, the annealing equipment and galvanizing are continuously arranged. Therefore, after annealing, galvanizing treatment is carried out continuously. Incidentally, the coating layer of the galvannealed steel sheet is made poor in deformability intermetallic compound, to restrain the deformation of the base material steel plate. Therefore, the average r value of the galvannealed steel sheet is lower than the average r value of the steel sheet without the plating layer.
[0009]
 In the high deep drawability of a high strength cold rolled steel sheet, Si content is high in order to obtain a high strength. If the Si content is high, Si is enriched on the surface of the steel sheet, Si oxide (SiO 2 ) is produced. Si oxide, during galvanizing treatment, prone to non-plating.
[0010]
 Patent Documents 5 to 7, even at high Si content to propose a method for producing a high strength cold rolled steel sheet non-coating is less likely to occur. In these documents, implementing the Ni pre-plating with respect to pre-annealed cold-rolled steel sheet. Against steel sheet after Ni pre-plating, it is rapidly heated to 430 ~ 500 ° C. implementing the galvanizing treatment. After galvanizing treatment, by heating to 470 ~ 550 ° C. implementing the alloying process. In this manufacturing method, while maintaining the workability of cold-rolled steel sheet is the original sheet can be produced galvannealed steel sheet. Furthermore, by implementing the Ni pre-plating, even with a high Si content non-coating hardly occurs.
[0011]
 Incidentally, when the slab after casting is cooled to room temperature, it may crack the slab is generated by the internal stress (thermal stress and transformation stress, etc.). Further, when the slab for moving the slab handling, and, when stacked slabs are loaded external stress to the slab cracking slab may occur. Such cracking is referred to as a "slab cracking". Resistance to the slab cracking, referred to as "anti-slab cracking".
[0012]
 Further, in the cold-rolled steel sheet, when the new tension or impact force to the end portion of the molded article after deep drawing is applied, there is a case where brittle fracture along the aperture direction is generated. Such a phenomenon is referred to as a "secondary work embrittlement". Resistance to secondary work embrittlement, referred to as "resistance to secondary work embrittlement".
[0013]
 The galvannealed steel sheet manufactured by the manufacturing method disclosed in Patent Documents 4-7, may have low resistance to the slab cracking and resistance to secondary work embrittlement of the above.

As a result of observation of the specimen after the test, if the brittle crack is generated was measured brittle crack length. As a result of the measurement, the relationship between the F1 and brittle crack length was as follows. Brittle crack length of the sample F1 = 1.8 was 0. Brittle crack length of the sample F1 = 2.5 was 0. Brittle crack length of the sample of F1 = 3.1 was 0. Brittle crack length of the sample of F1 = 3.6 was 0.

[0026]
 It is defined as F2 = B-X1. F3 = C- (12/93) is defined as × Nb-X2. F2 is a measure of the solute B amount, F3 is an indication of solid solution C content. If F2 is 0.0005 or more, the grain boundary contributes solute B amount to strengthen exists sufficiently in the steel.

On the other hand, the P content is when it becomes less 0.048%, even if the reduced P content, ductile brittle fracture transition temperature vTrs is not significantly reduced from -20 ° C.. That is, in FIG. 2, an inflection point is present near the P content = 0.048%.
[0032]
 Accordingly, P content is not more than 0.048%, excellent slab cracking resistance. Meanwhile, P is to enhance the strength of the steel, if the P content is 0.030% or less, the tensile strength is less than 440 MPa. Accordingly, satisfying the above (A) ~ (D), and, if P content is 0.030% or less super-0.048%, has a higher tensile strength and excellent resistance to secondary work embrittlement 440MPa while, galvannealed steel sheet excellent in slab cracking resistance.

[0037]
 Method for manufacturing a galvannealed steel sheet according to the present invention, a slab having the above chemical composition was carried out hot rolling at a finish rolling temperature of 800 ~ 950 ° C. to produce a hot-rolled steel sheets, winding 600 ~ 760 ° C. a step of winding the hot-rolled steel sheet at a temperature taken, a step of producing a cold-rolled steel sheet was performed to cold rolling with respect to hot-rolled steel sheet, the base steel sheet by performing an annealing process on cold-rolled steel sheet a step of manufacturing, with respect to the base steel sheet, a step of performing hot-dip galvanizing, the molten galvanizing the treated base material steel plate, holding alloying treatment temperature of 470 ~ 620 ℃ 10 ~ 40 seconds and a step of performing an alloying treatment.
[0038]
 For the step of performing the process and galvanizing manufacturing the base material steel plate, after performing in-line annealing such as the so-called Sendzimir method, the base material steel plate (steel strip) in molten zinc plating bath under a protective atmosphere it may be introduced. Further, cold-rolled steel sheet (i.e. the base steel sheet) was taken out of the furnace (so-called out-of-line annealing) after annealing, after performing the appropriate precleaning, carried out pretreatment such as Ni pre-plating treatment if necessary and, after heating to 430 ~ 480 ° C. under a protective atmosphere may be introduced base steel sheet to hot-dip galvanizing bath.

Therefore, Si content is provided by carrying out the in-line annealing with respect to cold-rolled steel sheet of 0.25% or more, non-coating is likely to occur. Therefore, if the Si content is 0.25% or more, Preferably a line out annealing to produce a base steel sheet, conducted Ni pre-plating processing on the manufactured base material steel plate by the line out annealing to. In this case, while suppressing the occurrence of non-plating can be performed galvanizing treatment. Incidentally, Si content relative to the base steel sheet is less than 0.25%, no adverse effects in any way be carried out Ni pre-plating process.
[0040]
 It described in detail below galvannealed steel sheet according to the present invention. "%" Related elements, unless otherwise specified, it means mass%.
[0041]
 [Configuration of the galvannealed steel sheet]
 galvannealed steel sheet according to the present invention includes a base steel sheet and a galvannealed layer. Galvannealed layer is formed on the surface of the base material steel plate.
[0042]
 [Chemical composition of the base material steel plate]
 The chemical composition of base steel sheet contains the following elements.
[0043]
 C: 0.0080% or less
 carbon (C) is contained inevitably. C increases the strength of the steel. C is further segregated in the grain boundary as a solid solution C, suppresses secondary work embrittlement resistance and slab cracking resistance of the steel. However, if C content is too high, deep drawability of steel is lowered. Specifically, TiC and NbC are excessively generated in-plane anisotropy Δr value is increased by. TiC and NbC further suppress the grain growth during annealing, it decreases the average r value. Therefore, C content is less 0.0080%.
[0044]
 High strength and preferable lower limit of C content in order to further enhance the secondary work embrittlement resistance is 0.0008%, more preferably 0.0021%. The preferable upper limit of the C content for obtaining better deep drawability is 0.0070%, more preferably 0.0050%.
[0045]
 Particularly when improved high strength and resistance to secondary work embrittlement, the preferred C content is from 0.0040 to 0.0080%. Especially when improving the deep drawability, the preferred C content is less than 0.0040%.
[0046]
 Si: 0.7% or less
 Silicon (Si) is contained inevitably. Si increases the strength of the steel sheet by solid solution strengthening. However, if Si content is too high, with secondary work embrittlement resistance is deteriorated, non-coating is likely to occur in the galvanizing process (if in line annealing). Further if the Si content is too high, the scale peelability is lowered after hot working, also flash butt weldability is lowered. Therefore, Si content is 0.7% or less. If Si content exceeds 0.7%, it is carried out Ni pre-plating, there is a case where non-coating occurs. A preferable lower limit of Si content is 0.1%, more preferably from 0.2%, more preferably 0.3%. The preferable upper limit of the Si content is 0.6%, more preferably 0.5%.
[0047]
 Mn: 1.0 ~ 2.5%
 manganese (Mn) increases the strength of the steel sheet by solid solution strengthening. Mn further, A r3 decreases the transformation point. A r3 If decreases transformation point, it is possible to lower the finishing temperature (FT) at the hot rolling, the ferrite grains of hot-rolled steel sheet can be miniaturized. If the Mn content is too low not these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, if the Mn content is too high, toughness of the steel sheet is lowered. Therefore, Mn content is 1.0 to 2.5%. The preferable lower limit of the Mn content is 1.2%, more preferably from 1.4%. The preferable upper limit of the Mn content is 2.3%, more preferably from 2.1%.
[0048]
 P: 0.030 ultra ~ 0.048%
 phosphorus (P) increases the strength of the steel sheet by solid solution strengthening. If the P content is too low, the chemical composition of the present invention, it is difficult to ensure a tensile strength of 440 MPa. On the other hand, if the P content is too high, P is segregated at grain boundaries to decrease the grain boundary strength. In this case, resistance to slab cracking and resistance to secondary working brittleness is reduced, in particular, as shown in FIG. 2, anti-slab cracking resistance decreases. Accordingly, P content is 0.030% or ultra-0.048%. The preferable lower limit of the P content is 0.033%, and still more preferably 0.035%. The preferable upper limit of the P content is 0.047%, more preferably 0.045%.
[0049]
 S: 0.025% or less
 Sulfur (S) is contained inevitably. S lowers the hot workability and toughness of the steel. Thus, S content is 0.025% or less. The preferable upper limit of the S content is 0.010%, still more preferably 0.005%. S content is preferably as small as possible. However, when considering the cost of desulfurization, the preferred lower limit of the S content is 0.0005%.
[0050]
 Al: 0.005 ~ 0.20%
 of aluminum (Al) is deoxidized steel. Al is further formed to suppress the coarsening of crystal grains AlN. Al is further the same ferrite stabilizing elements and Si, it can be included as an alternative to Si. If the Al content is too low not these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, if the Al content is too high, toughness of the steel is lowered. Therefore, Al content is from 0.005 to 0.20%. A preferable lower limit of the Al content is 0.01%, more preferably 0.02%. The preferable upper limit of the Al content is 0.10%, more preferably 0.06%.
[0051]
 N: 0.010% or less
 Nitrogen (N) is inevitably contained. N inhibits coarsening of crystal grains to form a nitride (AlN). However, if the N content is too high, toughness of the steel is lowered. Therefore, N content is 0.010% or less. The preferable upper limit of the N content is 0.007%, more preferably 0.005%. N inhibits coarsening of crystal grains by forming a carbonitride or the like of Al or Ti. Therefore, lower limit of N content is 0.001%.
[0052]
 Ti: 0.005 ~ 0.040%,
 titanium (Ti) is to form a fine Ti carbonitride and suppresses the coarsening of crystal grains. Ti further to form a TiN reduces solute N, suppresses the precipitation of BN. Thus, resistance to the slab cracking and resistance to secondary work embrittlement increases by solution B. If the Ti content is too low, these effects can not be obtained. On the other hand, if the Ti content is too high, Ti carbonitride decreases the toughness of the coarsened steel. Furthermore, the average r value and generates the TiP decreases. Therefore, Ti content is 0.005 to 0.040%. A preferable lower limit of the Ti content is 0.010%, more preferably 0.015%. The preferable upper limit of the Ti content is 0.035%, more preferably 0.030%. [0053]
 If C content is less than 0.0040%, the preferred range of the Ti content is from 0.005 to 0.035%. If C content is from 0.0040 to 0.0080%, the preferred range of Ti content is 0.005 to 0.040%.

 Nb: 0.005 ~ 0.060%
 niobium (Nb) is to form a fine Nb carbonitrides, suppresses coarsening of crystal grains. This effect can not be obtained if the Nb content is too low. On the other hand, if the Nb content is too high, the NbC precipitated in grain boundaries, high slab cracking and secondary work embrittlement resistance is deteriorated. Therefore, Nb content is 0.005 to 0.060%. The preferable lower limit of Nb content is 0.010%, more preferably 0.015%. The preferable upper limit of Nb content is 0.040%, and still more preferably 0.035%.
[0055]
 If C content is less than 0.0040%, the preferred range of the Nb content is from 0.005 to 0.035%. If C content is from 0.0040 to 0.0080%, the preferred range of the Nb content is 0.005 to 0.060%.
[0056]
 B: 0.0005 ~ 0.0030%
 boron (B) is segregated at the grain boundaries as a solid solution suppresses the P and S are segregated at the grain boundaries. Thus, resistance to the slab cracking and secondary work embrittlement resistance is improved. If the B content is too low, the effect can not be obtained. On the other hand, if the B content is too high, coarse nitrides at grain boundaries (BN) is generated, anti slab cracking and resistance to secondary work embrittlement of steel is lowered. Coarse BN deposited at the grain boundaries further reduces the hot workability and toughness of the steel. Therefore, B content is 0.0005 to 0.0030 percent. The preferable lower limit of the B content is 0.0010%, more preferably 0.0015%. The preferable upper limit of the B content is 0.0025%, more preferably 0.0020%.

 The remainder of the chemical composition of the base material steel plate of the galvannealed steel sheet of the present invention consists of Fe and impurities. Here, the impurity, when the industrial production of the base material steel plate, the ore as a raw material, there is to be mixed etc. Scrap or manufacturing environment, does not adversely affect to the base steel sheet ranges in means what is acceptable.
[0058]
 [Equation (1) to (4)]
 In addition the chemical composition of the base steel sheet satisfy the following equation (1) to (4).
 × P + 25 4 × Si ≦ 3.6
 (1) B-X1 ≧ 0.0005
 (2) C-(12/93) × Nb-X2 ≧ -0.0035
 (3) 110 × Si + 48 × Mn + 550 × P ≧ 120 (4)
 wherein each element symbol in the formula, the content of the corresponding element (mass%) is substituted.
[0059]
 [For formula (1)]
 The chemical composition of the base steel sheet satisfy the equation (1).
 25 × P + 4 × Si ≦ 3.6 (1)
[0060]
 It is defined as F1 = 25 × P + 4 × Si. F1 is an indicator of the resistance to secondary work embrittlement. As shown in FIG. 1, if it exceeds F1 is 3.6, brittle crack length becomes remarkably long, secondary work embrittlement resistance is deteriorated. If F1 is at 3.6 or less, the occurrence of brittle cracks are sufficiently suppressed, secondary work embrittlement resistance is improved.
[0061]
 [Equation (2)]
 In addition the chemical composition of the base steel sheet satisfies equation (2).
 B-X1 ≧ 0.0005 (2)
 where, X1 in the formula (2) is defined as follows.
 For N- (14/48) × Ti> 0 , it is X1 = (11/14) [N- (14/48) × Ti]. For N- (14/48) × Ti ≦ 0 , it is X1 = 0.
[0062]
 It is defined as F2 = B-X1. F2 is a measure of the solute B amount, which is an index of resistance to the slab cracking and resistance to secondary work embrittlement. If X1 is greater than 0, in theory N is not sufficiently fixed by Ti, which means that B capable of binding N is present. If X1 is 0 or less, the theory, N are sufficiently fixed by Ti, capable of binding N means that there is no a B.
[0063]
 F2 is the case of less than 0.0005, the solid solution B can not be sufficiently segregated at the grain boundaries. In this case, since the P and S are segregated at the grain boundaries, slab cracking or secondary work embrittlement is likely to occur. If F2 is 0.0005 or more, the solid solution B is sufficiently segregated at the grain boundaries to suppress the grain boundary segregation of P and S. Therefore, increased grain boundary strength is obtained excellent slab cracking and resistance to secondary work embrittlement.
[0064]
 [Equation (3)]
 Moreover the chemical composition of the base steel sheet satisfies equation (3).
 C- (12/93) × Nb-X2 ≧ -0.0035 (3)
 where, X2 in formula (3) is defined as follows.
 Ti- (48/14) × N> 0, it is X2 = (12/48) [Ti- (48/14) × N]. Ti- (48/14) × For N ≦ 0, it is X2 = 0.
[0065]
 F3 = C- (12/93) is defined as × Nb-X2. F3 is an indicator of the amount of solute C, which is an index of resistance to the slab cracking and resistance to secondary work embrittlement. If X2 is greater than 0, in theory, it means that greater than that binds to N Ti is present, it means that capable of binding Ti is present as C. If X2 is less than or equal to 0, in theory, all Ti binds to N, which means that C capable of binding Ti is absent.
[0066]
 If F3 is lower than -0.0035, due to insufficient amount of solid solution C it is, is not increased sufficiently the strength of the grain boundary. In this case, resistance to slab cracking and secondary work embrittlement resistance is deteriorated. If F3 is greater than or equal -0.0035, amount of dissolved C for increasing the grain boundary strength is sufficiently present. Therefore, resistance to the slab cracking and secondary work embrittlement resistance is improved. A preferred lower limit of F3 is -0.0015, more preferably from 0.0002. Preferably, F3 is 0.0025 or less, more preferably 0.0018 or less. In this case, the deep drawability is further improved.
[0067]
 If C content is from 0.0040 to 0.0080 percent, preferable lower limit of F3 is -0.0002.
[0068]
 [Equation (4)]
 In addition the chemical composition of the steel sheet satisfy the equation (4).
 110 × Si + 48 × Mn + 550 × P ≧ 120 (4)
[0069]
 Defined as F4 = 110 × Si + 48 × Mn + 550 × P. F4 is, C content, when the Ti content and the Nb content is within the above range, an indicator of the tensile strength of the steel sheet. If F4 is less than 120, the tensile strength of the steel sheet becomes less than 440 MPa, no high strength is obtained. If F4 is 120 or more, elements are in the above range, and the tensile strength of the steel sheet having a chemical composition satisfying the above formula (1) to (3) is equal to or greater than 440 MPa. Preferably, F4 is 130 or more.
[0070]
 [Galvannealed layer]

On the other hand, if the Fe content exceeds 15%, it decreases the adhesion of the galvannealed layer. If Fe content of 7 to 15 percent, excellent spot weldability and adhesiveness. By carrying out alloying treatment to be described later condition, Fe content of the galvannealed layer is within the above range. The preferable lower limit of the Fe content of the galvannealed layer is 8%, and the preferable upper limit is 12%.
