Specification

Title of invention: High strength cold rolled steel sheet
Technical field
[0001]
 The present invention relates to a high strength cold rolled steel sheet.
Background technology
[0002]
 In recent years, in order to suppress the emission of carbon dioxide gas from automobiles, weight reduction of automobile bodies has been promoted by applying high strength steel plates. Further, in order to ensure the safety of passengers, high-strength steel sheets have come to be often used in automobile bodies. In the future, in order to further reduce the weight of automobile bodies and improve safety, it is necessary to increase the strength level of steel sheets used more than ever before.
[0003]
 In addition to strength, a steel sheet formed into an automobile member is required to have formability (workability). For example, a steel sheet used for a skeletal system component is required to have elongation and hole expandability. However, in general, if the strength of the steel sheet is increased, the formability is lowered. Therefore, when the strength of a steel sheet applied to a member for automobiles is increased, improvement of formability becomes a problem.
[0004]
 Several means have been proposed to solve these problems. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a high-strength thin steel sheet in which the carbon concentration gradient in the interface and in the grains in the retained austenite is defined, and the strength and elongation are improved by the work-induced transformation. Further, in Patent Document 2, by making the metallographic structure of the steel sheet a structure mainly composed of upper bainite or lower bainite, which has a hardness intermediate between that of ferrite and martensite, the hardness difference between the structures is reduced and A cold rolled steel sheet having improved hole expandability is disclosed. Further, in Patent Document 3, by constructing the metallographic structure of the steel sheet with three phases of ferrite, upper bainite or lower bainite, retained austenite, or four phases further containing martensite, a strength level of 45 to 65 kgf/mm 2 is obtained. A composite structure cold-rolled steel sheet having high workability is disclosed.
[0005]
 However, these techniques have the following problems. That is, in order to manufacture the steel sheet of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to control the cooling rate after overaging, which is usually difficult to control, to control the carbon concentration gradient in the retained austenite. Therefore, it is not easy to realize the organization disclosed in Patent Document 1 in normal equipment. Further, in the technique of Patent Document 2, since the structure is mainly composed of bainite, the hole expandability is excellent, but it is difficult to obtain sufficient ductility. Further, in Patent Document 3, a steel plate having a tensile strength of 45 to 65 kgf/mm 2 is targeted, and it is difficult for the technique of Patent Document 3 to achieve both tensile strength of 980 MPa or more and sufficient formability.

Summary of the invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0007]
 As described above, in order to further reduce the weight of automobile bodies in the future, it is necessary to increase the strength level of use of steel sheets more than ever before. In particular, for example, when using a high-strength steel plate for a skeletal component, it is necessary to improve hole expandability without deteriorating elongation. Specifically, in order to be able to form a skeletal system member and to secure safety at the time of collision, tensile strength is 980 MPa or more, strength×total elongation (TS×EL) is 12000 MPa·% or more, Further, it is preferable that the steel sheet satisfies the following conditions: strength×hole expandability (TS×λ) of 18000 MPa·% or more. However, as shown in Patent Documents 1 to 3, it is extremely difficult for a high-strength steel sheet to have strength, elongation, and hole expansibility all at such high levels.
 Therefore, in view of the current state of the art, it is an object of the present invention to provide a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more and excellent elongation and hole expandability.

It was newly found that by controlling the area ratio of ferrite to the area ratio to be 25% or less, excellent hole expandability can be obtained while securing strength and elongation.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0015]
 A high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter, also referred to as a cold-rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment) has the following features.
(A) The chemical composition is% by mass, C: 0.15% or more, 0.30% or less, P: 0.040% or less, S: 0.0100% or less, N: 0.0100% or less, O : 0.0060% or less, Si and Al: 0.70% or more and 2.50% or less in total, Mn and Cr: 1.50% or more and 3.50% or less in total, and if necessary Mo: 1.00% or less, Ni: 1.00% or less, Cu: 1.00% or less, Nb: 0.30% or less, Ti: 0.30% or less, V: 0.30% or less, B: One or more of 0.0050% or less, Ca: 0.0400% or less, Mg: 0.0400% or less, and REM: 0.0400% or less is further contained, and the balance is Fe and impurities.
(B) The metal structure has an area ratio of one or two kinds of ferrite and granular bainite in total of 10% or more and 50% or less, and one or two kinds of upper bainite and lower bainite in total of 10% or more, 50% or less, tempered martensite more than 0% and 30% or less, residual austenite 5% or more, and one or more of pearlite, cementite and martensite in a total amount of 0 to 10%, and the ferrite and the above The area ratio of the ferrite to the total area ratio with the granular bainite is 25% or less.
(C) The tensile strength is 980 MPa or more.
[0016]
 The chemical composition (content of each element) of the cold-rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment will be described. The% relating to the content means% by mass.
[0017]

 C is an element effective for improving the strength of the steel sheet. Further, C is an element necessary to secure a predetermined amount of retained austenite. If the C content is less than 0.15%, austenite is transformed into martensite, and retained austenite of 5% or more cannot be secured. Therefore, the C content is set to 0.15% or more. It is preferably 0.18% or more.
 On the other hand, when the C content exceeds 0.30%, the phase transformation from austenite to upper bainite or lower bainite is significantly suppressed, martensite is easily generated, and as a result, retained austenite of 5% or more cannot be secured. .. Therefore, the C content is set to 0.30% or less. It is preferably 0.25% or less, more preferably 0.22% or less.
[0018]

 P is an impurity element. P is an element that segregates in the central portion of the plate thickness of the steel sheet to reduce the toughness and embrittles the welded portion. The smaller the P content is, the more preferable. However, when the P content exceeds 0.040%, the hole expandability is significantly deteriorated, so the P content is set to 0.040% or less. It is preferably 0.015% or less. It is not necessary to limit the lower limit because P is preferably as small as possible, but it is economically disadvantageous to set the P content to less than 0.0001% in a practical steel sheet, so 0.0001% is practically used. It may be the lower limit.
[0019]

 S is an impurity element. S is an element that reduces weldability and impairs manufacturability during casting and hot rolling. In addition, S is also an element that forms coarse MnS in the steel sheet and reduces the hole expandability. The smaller the S content, the more preferable. However, if the S content exceeds 0.0100%, the weldability, the manufacturability, and the hole expandability will be significantly reduced. 0100% or less. It is preferably 0.0050% or less. It is not necessary to limit the lower limit because S is preferably as small as possible, but it is economically disadvantageous to set the S content to less than 0.0001% in a practical steel sheet, so 0.0001% is practically used. It may be the lower limit.
[0020]

 N is an element that forms coarse nitrides in the steel sheet and reduces bendability and hole expandability of the steel sheet. Further, N is an element which causes blowholes during welding. The smaller the N content is, the more preferable it is. However, when the N content exceeds 0.0100%, the hole expandability is deteriorated and blowholes are significantly generated. Therefore, the N content is set to 0.0100% or less. It is not necessary to limit the lower limit because the smaller N is, the more preferable it is. However, if the N content is less than 0.0005% in a practical steel sheet, the production cost will be significantly increased. The lower limit may be set.
[0021]

 O is an element that forms a coarse oxide in the steel sheet and reduces bendability and hole expandability of the steel sheet. O is an element that causes blowholes during welding. The smaller the O content is, the more preferable it is. However, when the O content exceeds 0.0060%, the hole expandability is deteriorated and blowholes are significantly generated. Therefore, the O content is set to 0.0060% or less. It is not necessary to limit the lower limit because the smaller O content is, the more preferable it is. However, if the O content is less than 0.0005% in the practical steel sheet, the production cost is significantly increased. The lower limit may be set.
[0022]

 Si and Al are elements effective for obtaining a predetermined amount of granular bainite and retained austenite. Granular bainite is a metallic structure in which acicular bainitic ferrite has dislocations existing at the interface recovered by heat treatment and has a massive form. That is, bainitic ferrite and granular bainite are not the same.
 Once cementite is formed at the interface of bainitic ferrite, granular bainite cannot be obtained. Si and Al are elements that suppress the formation of cementite, and thus are important elements for obtaining granular bainite.
 Further, Si and Al are important elements for obtaining retained austenite. When a part of austenite is transformed into bainite, carbon is concentrated in the untransformed austenite and the carbon concentration in the untransformed austenite is increased. Since the austenite becomes stable due to the carbon enrichment, the austenite that is sufficiently enriched with carbon remains without being transformed into another structure even after cooling to room temperature. This becomes retained austenite. When cementite precipitates in this carbon enrichment step to untransformed austenite, the carbon concentration in austenite decreases, and it becomes difficult to maintain austenite untransformed up to room temperature. That is, Si and Al are elements that suppress the formation of cementite, and thus are important elements for obtaining retained austenite.
 As a result of intensive studies by the inventors, they have found that a predetermined amount of granular bainite and retained austenite can be obtained by setting the total content of Si and/or Al to 0.70% or more. Therefore, the total content of Si and Al is set to 0.70% or more. On the other hand, if the total content of Si and/or Al (total content) becomes excessive, the steel material itself becomes brittle, and the hole expandability deteriorates significantly. Therefore, the total content of Si and/or Al is set to 2.50% or less. It is preferably less than 1.40%.
 In the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment, Si and Al have the same effect, so the total content may be specified, and it is not necessary to specify each content. That is, if the total content is in the above range, for example, one of them may be 0%.
[0023]

 Mn and Cr are both effective elements for improving the strength of the steel sheet. Further, Mn and Cr are elements that suppress ferrite transformation during heat treatment in continuous annealing equipment or continuous hot dip galvanizing equipment. Suppressing the ferrite transformation during the heat treatment is advantageous in that the area ratio of ferrite to the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite is 25% or less, that is, the area ratio of granular bainite is 75% or more. In order to obtain this effect, the total content of Mn and/or Cr is set to 1.50% or more. On the other hand, when the total content of Mn and/or Cr exceeds 3.50%, the phase transformation from austenite to upper bainite or lower bainite is significantly suppressed. In this case, as a result, 5% or more of retained austenite cannot be secured, and the area ratio of martensite exceeds 10%. Therefore, the total content of Mn and/or Cr is set to 3.50% or less.
 In the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment, Mn and Cr have the same effect, so the total content may be specified, and it is not necessary to specify each content. That is, if the total content is within the above range, for example, one of them may be 0%.
[0024]
 The cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment is based on the above elements and the balance being Fe and impurities. However, if necessary, in place of a part of Fe, one or more selected from Mo, Ni, Cu, Nb, Ti, V, B, Ca, Mg, and REM may be further contained in the range described below. Good. However, since these elements are not necessarily contained, the lower limit is 0%. Further, the impurities, when industrially manufacturing the steel material, is a component mixed from raw materials such as ores or scraps, or due to various factors of the manufacturing process, in the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment. It means that it is permissible as long as it does not have an adverse effect.
[0025]

 Mo is an element effective in improving the strength of the steel sheet. Further, Mo is an element having an effect of suppressing ferrite transformation that occurs during heat treatment in continuous annealing equipment or continuous hot dip galvanizing equipment. To obtain these effects, the Mo content is preferably 0.01% or more. On the other hand, when the Mo content exceeds 1.00%, the effect of suppressing ferrite transformation is saturated. Therefore, even when it is contained, the Mo content is preferably 1.00% or less.
[0026]

 Ni is an element effective in improving the strength of the steel sheet. Further, Ni is an element having an effect of suppressing ferrite transformation that occurs during heat treatment in a continuous annealing facility or a continuous hot dip galvanizing facility. To obtain these effects, the Ni content is preferably 0.05% or more. On the other hand, when the Ni content exceeds 1.00%, the effect of suppressing ferrite transformation is saturated. Therefore, even when it is contained, the Ni content is preferably 1.00% or less.
[0027]

 Cu is an element effective in improving the strength of the steel sheet. To obtain this effect, the Cu content is preferably 0.05% or more. On the other hand, if the Cu content becomes excessive, the steel material becomes brittle during hot rolling, making hot rolling impossible. Therefore, even if it is contained, the Cu content is set to 1.00% or less.
[0028]

 Nb is an element effective in improving the strength of the steel sheet by refining the crystal grains. Nb is an element having an effect of suppressing ferrite transformation that occurs during heat treatment in a continuous annealing facility or a continuous hot dip galvanizing facility. To obtain these effects, the Nb content is preferably 0.005% or more. On the other hand, when the Nb content exceeds 0.30%, the phase transformation from austenite to upper bainite or lower bainite is significantly suppressed. As a result, martensite is excessively generated, and it becomes impossible to secure residual austenite of 5% or more. Therefore, even when Nb is contained, the Nb content is 0.30% or less.
[0029]

 Ti is an element effective in improving the strength of the steel sheet. Further, Ti is an element having an effect of suppressing ferrite transformation that occurs during heat treatment in continuous annealing equipment or continuous hot dip galvanizing equipment. To obtain these effects, the Ti content is preferably 0.005% or more. On the other hand, when the Ti content exceeds 0.30%, the phase transformation from austenite to upper bainite or lower bainite is significantly suppressed. As a result, martensite is excessively generated, and it becomes impossible to secure residual austenite of 5% or more. Therefore, even when Ti is contained, the Ti content is set to 0.30% or less.
[0030]

 V is an element effective in improving the strength of the steel sheet. V is an element having the effect of suppressing ferrite transformation that occurs during heat treatment in continuous annealing equipment or continuous hot dip galvanizing equipment. To obtain these effects, the V content is preferably 0.005% or more. On the other hand, if the V content exceeds 0.30%, the phase transformation from austenite to upper bainite or lower bainite is significantly suppressed. As a result, martensite is excessively generated and the retained austenite cannot be increased to 5% or more. Therefore, even when V is contained, the V content is set to 0.30% or less.
[0031]

 B is an element that suppresses ferrite transformation by segregating to austenite grain boundaries in the heat treatment step. To obtain this effect, the B content is preferably 0.0001% or more. On the other hand, if the B content exceeds 0.0050%, the effect of suppressing the ferritic transformation is saturated, so 0.0050% is preferably set as the practical upper limit.
[0032]

All of
 Ca, Mg, and REM are It is an element that controls the morphology of oxides and sulfides and contributes to the improvement of hole expandability. To obtain this effect, the content of each element is preferably 0.0005% or more. More preferably, it is 0.0010% or more. On the other hand, when the content of Ca, Mg, or REM exceeds 0.0400%, a coarse oxide is formed and the hole expandability deteriorates. Therefore, the content of each element is set to 0.0400% or less. It is more preferably 0.0100% or less.
 When REM (rare earth element) is contained, it is often added as a misch metal, but in addition to La and Ce, a lanthanoid series element may be added as a composite. Even in such a case, and even when a metal REM such as metal La or Ce is added, the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment can exert the effect. In the present embodiment, REM means 17 elements including Sc, Y, and lanthanoid, and the REM content is the total content of these elements.
[0033]
 Next, the metallographic structure of the cold rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment will be described.
 The inventors of the present invention presume the use of continuous hot rolling equipment and continuous annealing equipment that are normally adopted at present, and in a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, while ensuring strength and elongation, Considered to improve.
 As described above, conventionally, in a thin steel sheet suitable as a structural member for automobiles or the like, in order to improve hole expansibility without deteriorating strength and elongation, utilization of ferrite has been considered as a metal structure of the steel sheet. It was However, since ferrite has a soft metallic structure, it becomes a factor of increasing the hardness difference between the structures in a high-strength steel sheet having a composite structure, and as a result, it has been a problem that the hole expandability is deteriorated. Therefore, the present inventors have conducted a study focusing on the use of granular bainite as the metallographic structure of the steel sheet. As a result, by controlling the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite and the area ratio of ferrite to the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite, while securing strength and ductility, excellent hole expansion. Succeeded in gaining sex.
 The metal structure (microstructure) of the cold-rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment is limited based on the above findings. The details will be described below.
[0034]

 Ferrite contained in the metal structure of the steel sheet has a soft structure and is easily deformed. Therefore, ferrite contributes to the improvement of elongation. On the other hand, since ferrite has a soft structure, there is a large hardness difference between the structure and the hard phase, and this becomes a factor that deteriorates the hole expandability in the composite structure steel sheet. On the other hand, granular bainite contributes to the improvement of elongation like ferrite. On the other hand, granular bainite is harder than ferrite and has a hardness intermediate between that of ferrite and upper bainite or lower bainite. Therefore, granular bainite has an effect of reducing the hardness difference between the structures in the composite structure steel sheet as compared with ferrite.
 If the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite is less than 10%, sufficient elongation cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite exceeds 50%, tensile strength of 980 MPa or more cannot be obtained. Further, when the area ratio of ferrite (the area ratio of ferrite to the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite) with respect to the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite exceeds 25%, the inter-structure steel sheet in the composite structure steel sheet The hardness difference becomes large and the hole expandability deteriorates.
 That is, the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite is 10% or more and 50% or less, and the area ratio of ferrite to the total area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite is 25% or less (that is, the area ratio of granular bainite is 75% or less. % Or more), elongation and hole expandability can be improved at the same time. The area ratio of ferrite may be 0%.
[0035]
Retained austenite is a metal structure that contributes to improvement of elongation by transforming into martensite (deformation induced transformation) during deformation by working. In order to obtain a predetermined elongation, the retained austenite in the steel sheet is made to have an area ratio of 5% or more. If the area ratio of retained austenite is less than 5%, sufficient elongation cannot be obtained. On the other hand, the area ratio of retained austenite is preferably as high as possible from the viewpoint of improving the elongation, but if an area ratio of more than 20% is to be obtained, it is necessary to increase the content of C or Mn. 20% is a practical upper limit.
[0036]
The upper bainite and the lower bainite influence the formation of retained austenite and have high strength. It is a metallographic structure necessary to obtain it. It is these structures that are commonly referred to as bainite. When the area ratio of the upper bainite and/or the lower bainite is 10% or more, when the phase transformation from austenite to the upper bainite or the lower bainite occurs in the annealing step, carbon is concentrated in the untransformed austenite and the room temperature is increased. Up to 5% of untransformed austenite can be retained. When the area ratio of the upper bainite and/or the lower bainite is less than 10%, the strength of the steel sheet is insufficient and the retained austenite cannot be secured at 5% or more. On the other hand, when the area ratio of the upper bainite and/or the lower bainite exceeds 50%, the phase transformation from austenite to the upper bainite or the lower bainite is promoted too much, so that the untransformed austenite decreases and the final Moreover, it becomes impossible to secure 5% or more of retained austenite. Therefore, the total area ratio of the upper bainite and/or the lower bainite is 50% or less.
[0037]
The
 tempered martensite contained in the metallurgical structure of the steel sheet affects generation of retained austenite and is effective for obtaining high strength. It has a metallic structure. Therefore, the area ratio of tempered martensite is set to more than 0%. It is preferably at least 3%, more preferably at least 5%. On the other hand, since tempered martensite has a hard structure, it has a large difference in hardness between structures in a composite structure steel sheet, and as a result, is a metal structure that causes deterioration of the hole expandability. If the area ratio of tempered martensite exceeds 30%, the hole expandability is significantly deteriorated, so the area ratio of tempered martensite is set to 30% or less.
[0038]

 The cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment has pearlite, cementite, You may include 1 type, or 2 or more types of martensite. However, these structures contain hard iron carbide and serve as a starting point of generation of voids during hole expansion. If the total of these area ratios exceeds 10%, the hole expansibility is significantly deteriorated, so the total area ratio is limited to 10% or less. In particular, in terms of hardness difference between structures, martensite is preferably 3% or less. It is preferable that these structures are small, that is, the total area ratio of pearlite, cementite, and martensite may be 0%. The martensite referred to here is so-called fresh martensite, which is different from tempered martensite.
[0039]
 Identification of ferrite, granular bainite, martensite, upper bainite, lower bainite, retained austenite, pearlite, cementite, and tempered martensite, and calculation of area ratio are performed by EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction), X-ray diffraction, and Nital reagent. Alternatively, it can be carried out by observing and measuring the rolling direction cross section of the steel sheet or the cross section in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction at a magnification of 1000 to 50,000 times by observing the structure with a scanning electron microscope after corrosion using a repeller liquid. ..
[0040]
 Specifically, the area ratio of ferrite can be measured by the following method. That is, with the EBSD attached to the scanning electron microscope, the range of 1/8 to 3/8 thickness centered on the position of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate is measured at intervals (pitch) of 0.2 μm. To do. The value of Grain average misorientation is calculated from the measurement data. And the area|region where the value of Grain average misorientation is less than 0.5 degrees is made into a ferrite, and the area ratio is measured. Here, the grain average misorientation is to calculate the misorientation between adjacent measurement points in the region surrounded by the grain boundaries where the crystal misorientation is 5° or more, and average it for all the measurement points in the crystal grain. It is the value.
[0041]
 The area ratio of retained austenite can be calculated by measurement using X-rays. That is, from the plate surface of the sample to the depth 1/4 position in the plate thickness direction is removed by mechanical polishing and chemical polishing. Then, the diffraction peaks of (200), (211) of the bcc phase and (200), (220), (311) of the fcc phase obtained by using MoKα ray as the characteristic X-ray for the sample after polishing. The structural fraction of retained austenite is calculated from the integrated intensity ratio of, and this is taken as the area ratio of retained austenite.
[0042]
 The area ratio of martensite was measured by FE-SEM in the range of 1/8 to 3/8 thickness centering on the position 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface by etching the cross section in the plate thickness direction with a repeller liquid. It is calculated by observing and subtracting the area ratio of retained austenite measured by X-ray from the area ratio of the region where the degree of corrosion is relatively smaller than that of other structures. Alternatively, martensite is a structure having a high dislocation density and having a substructure such as a block or a packet in the grain, and therefore, it is distinguished from other metal structures by an electron channeling contrast image using a scanning electron microscope. It is possible to Therefore, the martensite area ratio may be obtained from the electron channeling contrast image.
[0043]
 The upper bainite, lower bainite, and tempered martensite are identified by corroding the cross section in the plate thickness direction with the Nital reagent, and centering at a position 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate to 1/8 to 3/8 thickness (steel plate). It is carried out by observing a range from the surface of (1/8 to 3/8 of the plate thickness) by FE-SEM and observing the position and variant of cementite contained in the tissue. Specifically, in the upper bainite, cementite or retained austenite is generated at the interface of lath-shaped bainitic ferrite. On the other hand, in the lower bainite, since cementite is formed inside the lath-shaped bainitic ferrite and there is one kind of crystal orientation relationship between the bainitic ferrite and cementite, the generated cementite has the same variant. Further, in tempered martensite, cementite is generated inside the martensite lath, but since there are two or more types of crystal orientation relationship between martensite lath and cementite, the generated cementite has a plurality of variants. By detecting the characteristics of these cementites, each tissue is identified and the area ratio is calculated.
[0044]
 The identification of pearlite or cementite is carried out by the Nittal reagent, and the secondary electron image in the range of ⅛ to ⅜ thickness centered on the position of ¼ of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate by the scanning electron microscope. It can be performed by observing with. The area photographed with a bright contrast in the secondary electron image is regarded as perlite or cementite, and the area ratio is calculated.
[0045]
 Granular bainite is composed of bainitic ferrite that contains almost no hard cementite and has a low dislocation density. Therefore, it cannot be distinguished from ferrite by the conventional corrosion method or the observation of the secondary electron image using the scanning electron microscope. However, as a result of diligent studies by the inventors, granular bainite is composed of an aggregate of bainitic ferrite, and therefore has a minute crystal orientation difference in the grains. Therefore, they have found that it is possible to distinguish from ferrite by detecting a minute crystal orientation difference in the grain. Therefore, the area ratio of granular bainite can be measured by the following method.
 That is, using EBSD, a range of 1/8 to 3/8 thickness centered on the position of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate was measured at intervals of 0.2 μm, and the measured data was used to determine the grain average misorientation. Calculate the value of. Then, the value obtained by subtracting the area ratio of the upper bainite, the lower bainite, tempered martensite, pearlite, and martensite from the area ratio of the region where the value of Grain average misorientation is 0.5° or more is the area ratio of the granular bainite. To do.
 The above-mentioned area ratio of each structure is the ratio of the area of ​​each structure to the area of ​​the entire metal structure.
[0046]
 The cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment has a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, which is sufficiently high strength. Therefore, when it is applied to a member of an automobile or the like, it contributes to the weight reduction of an automobile body or the improvement of safety in a collision. It is not necessary to limit the upper limit of the strength, but if it exceeds 1470 MPa, it becomes difficult to achieve the strength in the composite structure as shown in the present embodiment, and it is necessary to make the structure mainly composed of martensite. Therefore, the upper limit of the strength may be 1470 MPa.
[0047]
 The cold-rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment may have a hot-dip galvanized layer on the surface. It is preferable that the hot-dip galvanized layer is formed on the surface because the corrosion resistance is improved. The hot-dip galvanized layer preferably contains 1% or more and less than 7% Fe, and the balance Zn, Al, and impurities.
 The cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment may have an alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer on the surface. It is preferable that the alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer is formed on the surface because the corrosion resistance is improved. The alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer preferably contains Fe in an amount of 7% or more and 15% or less, and the balance of Zn, Al, and impurities.
 The hot dip galvanized layer or the alloyed hot dip galvanized layer may be formed on one side or both sides of the steel sheet.
[0048]
 Next, a preferable manufacturing method for obtaining the cold-rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment will be described. If the cold rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment satisfies the above-described chemical composition and metal structure, the effect can be obtained regardless of the manufacturing method. However, the cold-rolled steel sheet according to this embodiment is preferable because it can be stably manufactured by the manufacturing method including the following steps (A) to (G).
 (A) A casting slab having the same composition as that of the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment is maintained so that the temperature does not drop to a temperature of less than 1150° C. after casting, or once cooled, it is heated to 1150° C. or more. .. (Heating Step)
 (B) A slab heated to a temperature of 1150° C. or higher (or maintained at a temperature of 1150° C. or higher) is subjected to hot rolling, and hot rolling is completed in a temperature range of Ar3 transformation point or higher. To obtain a hot rolled steel sheet. (Hot
 Rolling Step) (C) A hot rolled steel sheet is wound in a temperature range of 700°C or lower. (Winding Step)
 (D) The unrolled hot-rolled steel sheet is pickled and then cold-rolled at a cumulative reduction of 30% or more and 80% or less to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet. (Pickling and Cold Rolling Step)
 (E) The cold rolled steel sheet is continuously annealed in a temperature range of 760°C or higher and 900°C or lower. (Annealing Step)
 (F) After continuously annealing the cold rolled steel sheet, it is cooled to a temperature range of 500 to 650° C. at an average cooling rate of 55° C./sec or more and 100° C./sec or less to reach a temperature range of 500 to 650° C. After staying for 3 seconds or more, after staying, cooling is performed at an average cooling rate of 10° C./sec or more and 100° C./sec or less, and cooling is stopped at 180° C. or more and 400° C. or less and Ms or less. (Cooling Step)
 (G) After the cooling step, the cold-rolled steel sheet is reheated to a temperature range of 300° C. or higher and 460° C. or lower and kept in the temperature range for 15 seconds or longer. (Reheating process)
 The desirable conditions for each step will be described.
[0049]
(A) Heating step The
 cast slab having the same composition as the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more may contain a large amount of alloying elements. Therefore, it is necessary to solid-dissolve the alloy element in the cast slab before hot rolling. Therefore, when the cast slab is once cooled, it is preferably heated to 1150° C. or higher and subjected to hot rolling. When the heating temperature is lower than 1150° C., not only coarse alloy carbide remains but also the deformation resistance during hot rolling increases, so heating is performed at a temperature higher than this.
 However, when the slab is subjected to hot rolling without cooling to below 1150° C. after casting, it is not necessary to perform heating.
 The cast slab used for hot rolling may be a cast slab and is not limited to a specific cast slab. For example, it may be a continuously cast slab or a slab manufactured by a thin slab caster. As described above, the cast slab is directly subjected to hot rolling, or once cooled, heated and then subjected to hot rolling.
[0050]
(B) Hot
 Rolling Step The slab at 1150° C. or higher that has undergone the heating step is subjected to hot rolling including rough rolling and finish rolling to obtain a hot rolled steel sheet. In hot rolling, the finish rolling temperature (completion temperature of finish rolling) is important in controlling the structure of the steel sheet. When the finish rolling temperature is in the two-phase temperature range of (austenite+ferrite), the rolling load during hot rolling becomes large, which may cause cracking during hot rolling. Therefore, the finish rolling temperature is preferably set to the Ar3 transformation point or higher. During the hot rolling, the rough rolled plates may be joined together and continuously hot rolled.
 Here, the Ar3 transformation point is a temperature at which austenite transformation starts in the temperature lowering process, and in the present embodiment, it is simply calculated using the following formula (1).
 Ar3=901-325×C+33×Si-92×(Mn+Ni/2+Cr/2+Cu/2+Mo/2) (1)
[0051]
(C) Winding Step
 The hot rolled steel sheet after the hot rolling step is preferably wound at a temperature of 700° C. or lower. If the coiling temperature exceeds 700° C., thick oxide scale is generated on the surface of the steel sheet, and it is feared that the scale cannot be removed in the pickling step. In this case, it becomes difficult to use it for the steps after cold rolling. Further, when wound at over 700° C., the carbide in the hot-rolled steel sheet becomes coarse, and the carbide becomes difficult to melt in the subsequent annealing step. If the dissolution of the carbide does not proceed during heating in the annealing step, if the prescribed strength cannot be obtained, or if the hardenability is insufficient and the fraction of ferrite during the annealing step increases, as a result, There is concern that the organization cannot be obtained. The coiling temperature may be 700° C. or lower, and the lower limit does not have to be specified. The lower the coiling temperature is, the more uniform the microstructure of the hot rolled steel sheet is, so that the mechanical properties after annealing tend to be improved, and the coiling temperature is preferably as low as possible. On the other hand, the lower the coiling temperature, the higher the strength of the hot rolled steel sheet and the higher the deformation resistance during cold rolling. Therefore, when lowering the winding temperature, tempering for softening the hot-rolled steel sheet may be performed at about 650° C. by using a box annealing furnace or a continuous annealing facility. Considering the strength of the hot-rolled steel sheet and the threadability of the hot rolled steel sheet, the winding temperature is preferably 450°C or higher and 650°C or lower.
[0052]
(D) Pickling and
 Cold Rolling Step The rolled hot rolled steel sheet is unwound, pickled, and then subjected to cold rolling. By performing pickling, the oxide scale on the surface of the hot rolled steel sheet can be removed, and the chemical conversion treatment property and the plating property of the cold rolled steel sheet can be improved. The pickling may be performed once or may be divided into multiple times. When cold-rolling the pickled hot-rolled steel sheet into a cold-rolled steel sheet, the cumulative rolling reduction in cold rolling is preferably 30% or more and 80% or less. If the cumulative rolling reduction is less than 30%, it is difficult to keep the shape of the cold-rolled steel sheet flat, and it becomes impossible to use it for the subsequent annealing step. Therefore, the cumulative rolling reduction is preferably 30% or more. It is more preferably 40% or more. On the other hand, when the cumulative rolling reduction exceeds 80%, the rolling load becomes excessively large, cracks occur during cold rolling, and it is feared that it will be difficult to provide the material for the subsequent annealing step. Therefore, the cumulative rolling reduction is preferably 80% or less. It is more preferably 70% or less. The number of rolling passes and the rolling reduction for each pass are not particularly limited. It may be appropriately set within a range in which a cumulative rolling reduction of 30% or more and 80% or less can be secured.
[0053]
(E) Annealing Step The
 cold-rolled steel sheet is subjected to a continuous annealing line, heated to an annealing temperature and annealed. At this time, the annealing temperature is preferably 760° C. or higher and 900° C. or lower, and the annealing time is preferably 10 to 600 seconds. If the annealing temperature is lower than 760°C, austenite is not sufficiently generated. In this case, there is a concern that the area ratio of ferrite will increase and the prescribed strength will not be satisfied. In addition, since the area ratio of austenite at the maximum heating temperature (annealing temperature) also decreases, the area ratio of granular bainite, bainite (upper bainite, lower bainite), and tempered martensite that are transformation structures generated during subsequent cooling is Decrease. In this case, it is feared that the carbon necessary for obtaining the retained austenite cannot be enriched in the austenite, and the retained austenite cannot be secured at 5% or more.
 On the other hand, if the annealing temperature exceeds 900° C., the crystal grain size of austenite becomes coarse and the hardenability becomes excessive. In this case, the predetermined area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite cannot be obtained. Further, the transformation from austenite to upper bainite or lower bainite is suppressed. As a result, it is feared that the retained austenite cannot be secured at 5% or more. Therefore, the upper limit of the continuous annealing temperature is preferably 900°C. The continuous annealing may be performed in the air, or may be performed in a redox atmosphere for the purpose of improving the adhesion of plating.
 Further, if the annealing time is less than 10 seconds, the austenite fraction at the annealing temperature is insufficient, or the dissolution of the carbide existing before the annealing is insufficient, resulting in a predetermined structure and The characteristics may not be obtained. Even if the annealing time exceeds 600 seconds, there is no problem in terms of characteristics, but since the line length of the equipment becomes long, about 600 seconds is the practical upper limit.
[0054]
(F) Cooling Step
 After the annealing step, the cold-rolled steel sheet is immediately (for example, within 30 seconds, preferably within 10 seconds) at an average cooling rate of 55° C./second or more and 100° C./second or less at 500 to 650° C. Cool down to temperature range. Then, it is allowed to stay in the temperature range of 500 to 650° C. for 3 seconds or more. After the retention, it is preferable to cool at an average cooling rate of 10° C./sec or more and 100° C./sec or less to 180° C. or more and 400° C. or less and a martensitic transformation start temperature (hereinafter, Ms (° C.)) or less.
 This step is an effective step for obtaining a predetermined amount of granular bainite. Granular bainite is generated by recovering the dislocations at the boundary of bainitic ferrite by holding in a predetermined temperature range after a phase transformation occurs with a small amount of dislocations contained in austenite grains before transformation as nuclei. Therefore, in order to suppress the generation of excessive ferrite and obtain a predetermined amount of ferrite and granular bainite, the average transformation rate up to a temperature range of 500 to 650° C. is set to 55° C./sec or more to cause ferrite transformation to some extent. It needs to be suppressed. On the other hand, cooling at an average cooling rate of more than 100° C./sec is economically disadvantageous in consideration of the capacity of cooling equipment in the annealing process. Therefore, the upper limit of the substantial average cooling rate is 100° C./second.
 In addition, in this cooling step, it is preferable to allow the material to stay in the temperature range of 500 to 650° C. for 3 seconds or more. By holding the bainitic ferrite produced during cooling on the high temperature side of the bainite production temperature, the produced bainitic ferrite is recovered and granular bainite is obtained. That is, it is effective to perform the above-mentioned retention in order to secure a time for the dislocations to recover immediately after the bainitic ferrite is generated by the cooling at the above-mentioned average cooling rate. When the residence time at 500 to 650° C. is less than 3 seconds, recovery of bainitic ferrite does not proceed sufficiently and it becomes difficult to obtain a predetermined area ratio of granular bainite. In the present embodiment, the term “retained” is not limited to isothermal holding, but means that the steel sheet temperature is kept at 500 to 650° C. for 3 seconds or longer. Although there is no upper limit to the residence time, productivity may decrease if the residence time is long, so the residence time may be 600 seconds or less.
 After the retention, the material is cooled to a temperature range of 180 to 400° C. and Ms or less at an average cooling rate of 10° C./second or more and 100° C./second or less. If the average cooling rate is 10° C./sec or more and the cooling stop temperature is 180 to 400° C. and Ms or less, martensite is formed. This martensite is tempered in the subsequent reheating step to become tempered martensite. Therefore, when obtaining tempered martensite, the cooling stop temperature is preferably 400° C. or lower and Ms or lower. When the cooling stop temperature exceeds 400° C. or Ms, martensite is not obtained during cooling, the bainite transformation does not proceed sufficiently when reheated thereafter, and the concentration of carbon into untransformed austenite does not proceed, and a predetermined amount is not obtained. No retained austenite of In this case, untransformed austenite is transformed into martensite during final cooling, so that the hole expandability is significantly deteriorated. On the other hand, when the cooling stop temperature is lower than 180° C., the phase transformation from austenite to martensite is excessively promoted, the martensite generation amount exceeds 30%, and there is a concern that the hole expansibility is significantly deteriorated.
 In the present embodiment, the average cooling rate can be calculated by dividing the difference between the cooling start temperature and the cooling stop temperature by the cooling time.
 Further, the above Ms varies depending on the area ratio of ferrite and granular bainite produced in the annealing process and the cooling process, and it is difficult to calculate it by a calculation formula. However, if the presence of tempered martensite in the final microstructure is recognized, it means that the tempered martensite has been cooled to Ms or less during cooling. Therefore, preliminary tests such as the cooling stop temperature and the area ratio of tempered martensite are performed in advance. By performing the above, Ms can be determined and tempered martensite having a predetermined area ratio can be obtained.
[0055]
 (G) Reheating step
 : After the cooling is stopped in the temperature range of 180 to 400° C. and Ms or lower, the cold rolled steel sheet is reheated and kept in the temperature range of 300° C. or higher and 460° C. or lower for 15 seconds or longer. Is preferred. According to this step, carbon diffuses into austenite accompanying tempering of martensite produced in the cooling step, and carbon diffuses into austenite due to the progress of bainite transformation. When the holding temperature is less than 300° C. or the holding time is less than 15 seconds, the progress of bainite transformation may be insufficient and carbon may be insufficiently diffused into austenite. On the other hand, if the holding temperature exceeds 460° C., transformation of austenite to pearlite proceeds, the area ratio of pearlite increases, and the area ratio of retained austenite decreases due to instability of austenite. Is concerned.
 After the reheating step, the cold rolled steel sheet is cooled to room temperature. It is not necessary to specify the cooling rate at this time, but it may be 2° C./second or more and 100° C./second or less.
[0056]
 In manufacturing the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment, the following steps (H) to (J) may be further performed for the purpose of improving mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and the like.
(H) Tempering step
 After the reheating step, the cold-rolled steel sheet is cooled to room temperature, or reheating is started during cooling to room temperature (Ms or less), and the temperature range is 150°C or higher and 400°C or lower. Hold for 2 seconds or more. According to this step, the hardness difference between the structures can be further reduced by tempering the martensite formed during the cooling after the reheating to obtain the tempered martensite. Moreover, as a result, it becomes possible to secure excellent hole expandability without deteriorating the ductility. When carrying out the tempering step, if the holding temperature is lower than 150° C. or the holding time is shorter than 2 seconds, the martensite is not sufficiently tempered, and there is almost no change in the microstructure and mechanical properties. On the other hand, if the holding temperature exceeds 400° C., the dislocation density in the tempered martensite decreases, and it is feared that the tensile strength of 980 MPa or more cannot be obtained. Further, the precipitation of cementite in the untransformed austenite makes the austenite unstable, and the austenite undergoes martensite transformation during cooling, and martensite may be formed after cooling. Therefore, when tempering is performed, it is preferable to hold the material in a temperature range of 150° C. or higher and 400° C. or lower for 2 seconds or more.
 The tempering may be performed in the continuous annealing equipment, or may be performed offline after the continuous annealing in another equipment. At this time, the tempering time differs depending on the tempering temperature. That is, the lower the temperature, the longer the time, and the higher the temperature, the shorter the time. When tempered at a high temperature for a long time, the strength is lowered, and it becomes difficult to obtain a strength of 980 MPa or more. Therefore, the upper limit of the tempering time is preferably set in advance by confirming the relationship between the tempering temperature and time and the strength reduction margin in a laboratory, and then setting the tempering temperature and the components so that the strength does not fall below the desired strength.
[0057]
(I)
 The cold-rolled steel sheet after the hot dip galvanizing step reheating step or the tempering step is heated to (zinc plating bath temperature −40)° C. to (zinc plating bath temperature +50)° C., if necessary, or You may cool and apply hot dip galvanizing. By the hot dip galvanizing step, a hot dip galvanized layer is formed on the surface of the cold rolled steel sheet. In this case, the corrosion resistance of the cold rolled steel sheet is improved, which is preferable. Even when hot-dip galvanizing is applied, the elongation and hole expandability of the cold rolled steel sheet can be sufficiently maintained.
[0058]
(J) Alloying hot-dip galvanizing step The
 cold-rolled steel sheet on which the hot-dip galvanized layer is formed may be heat-treated as an alloying treatment within a temperature range of 460°C or higher and 600°C or lower. When the alloying treatment is performed at less than 460°C, the plated layer is not sufficiently alloyed. Further, if the alloying treatment is performed at a temperature higher than 600° C., the alloying progresses too much and the corrosion resistance deteriorates. Therefore, when alloying treatment is performed, the temperature is set to 460° C. or higher and 600° C. or lower.
[0059]
 Further, instead of hot dip galvanizing, electroplating or vapor deposition plating may be performed. Further, surface treatment such as organic film formation, film laminating, organic salt/inorganic salt treatment, non-color treatment, etc. may be applied. Even if the above-mentioned surface treatment is performed, the elongation and hole expandability of the cold rolled steel sheet can be sufficiently maintained.

(Metal structure)

Identification of ferrite, granular bainite, tempered martensite, upper bainite, lower bainite, retained austenite, pearlite, cementite, and martensite, and calculation of the area ratio, as described above, the position of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface The center range of 1/8 to 3/8 thickness was measured by EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction), X-ray measurement, corrosion using Nital reagent or Repeller liquid, and microstructure observation by scanning electron microscope. Alternatively, the cross section in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction was observed and measured at a magnification of 1,000 to 50,000 times. The results are shown in Tables 6 and 7.

 mechanical properties, tensile strength, total elongation, and hole expandability were evaluated.
