Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to coated steel members, coated steel sheets, and methods for manufacturing them.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-068658 filed in Japan on March 29, 2019, and the contents thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
Background technology
[0002]
In the field of steel sheets for automobiles, steel sheets with high tensile strength (high-strength steel sheets) have been applied in order to improve both fuel efficiency and collision safety against the background of recent stricter environmental regulations and collision safety standards. It is expanding. However, as the strength increases, the press formability of the steel sheet decreases, so that it becomes difficult to manufacture a product having a complicated shape.
[0003]
Specifically, the ductility of the steel sheet decreases as the strength increases, and there is a problem that the steel sheet breaks at a high-processed part when it is processed into a complicated shape. Further, as the strength of the steel sheet is increased, the residual stress after processing causes springback and wall warpage, which causes a problem that the dimensional accuracy is deteriorated. Therefore, it is not easy to press-mold a steel sheet having a high strength, particularly a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more, into a product having a complicated shape. Roll forming rather than press forming makes it easier to process high-strength steel sheets, but its application is limited to parts with a uniform cross section in the longitudinal direction.
[0004]
Therefore, in recent years, for example, as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3, a hot stamping technique has been adopted as a technique for press-molding a material that is difficult to form, such as a high-strength steel plate. The hot stamping technique is a hot stamping technique in which a material to be molded is heated and then molded.
[0005]
With this technology, the material is heated before molding. Therefore, at the time of molding, the steel material is soft and has good moldability. As a result, even a high-strength steel sheet can be accurately formed into a complicated shape. Further, in the hot stamping technique, since quenching is performed at the same time as molding by a press die, the steel member after molding has sufficient strength.
[0006]
For example, according to Patent Document 1, it is disclosed that it is possible to impart a tensile strength of 1400 MPa or more to a steel member after forming by a hot stamping technique.
[0007]
On the other hand, higher fuel efficiency targets are currently set in various countries around the world. Along with this, weight reduction of the vehicle body has been studied, and further high strength is required for the steel member used for the vehicle body. For example, there is a need for a higher strength steel member that exceeds 1.5 GPa, which is the strength of a member generally used as a hot stamping member at present.
[0008]
Also, as mentioned above, automobiles are also required to have collision safety. The collision safety of an automobile is evaluated by the crush strength and absorbed energy in a collision test of the entire vehicle body or some members. In particular, since the crushing strength largely depends on the material strength, the demand for ultra-high strength steel members as automobile members is increasing dramatically.
However, in general, the fracture toughness and deformability of steel members decrease as the strength increases. Therefore, it may break at an early stage at the time of collision crushing, or it may break at a site where deformation is concentrated, and the crushing strength commensurate with the material strength may not be exhibited, and sufficient absorbed energy may not be obtained. Therefore, in order to improve the collision safety of automobiles, it is required to improve not only the material strength but also the fracture toughness and deformability, that is, the toughness and bendability of the steel members used.
[0009]
When the steel member has higher strength than the conventional hot stamping member, specifically, when the tensile strength exceeds 1.5 GPa, the bendability and toughness further deteriorate. Therefore, in order to apply a high-strength steel member with a tensile strength exceeding 1.5 GPa to a vehicle body, a steel member having toughness and bendability higher than before and exhibiting sufficient absorbed energy even in the event of a collision accident is required. We need the technology we provide.
[0010]
Regarding a high-strength steel material having a tensile strength of more than 1.5 GPa, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a press-molded product which is excellent in toughness and hot press-formed with a tensile strength of 1.8 GPa or more. Patent Document 3 discloses a steel material having an extremely high tensile strength of 2.0 GPa or more, and further having good toughness and ductility. Patent Document 4 discloses a steel material having a high tensile strength of 1.8 GPa or more and further having good toughness. Patent Document 5 discloses a steel material having an extremely high tensile strength of 2.0 GPa or more and further having good toughness.
However, Patent Documents 2 to 5 do not describe bendability, and in the use of high-strength steel materials having a tensile strength exceeding 1.5 GPa as an automobile member, it may not be possible to sufficiently meet higher demands.
[0011]
Regarding bendability, for example, Patent Documents 6 to 10 disclose hot stamp molded products having excellent bendability. However, Patent Documents 6 to 10 do not describe toughness, and in the use of high-strength steel materials having a tensile strength of more than 1.5 GPa as an automobile member, it may not be possible to sufficiently meet higher demands.
