Specification

The present invention relates to a high-strength steel sheet having excellent formability and impact resistance, and a method for manufacturing a high-strength steel sheet having excellent formability and impact resistance. Background technology [0002] In recent years, automobiles have high strength in order to reduce the weight of the vehicle body, improve fuel efficiency, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and absorb collision energy in the event of a collision to ensure the protection and safety of passengers. Steel plates are often used. [0003] However, in general, when the strength of a steel sheet is increased, the formability (ductility, hole expandability, etc.) decreases and it becomes difficult to process into a complicated shape. Therefore, the formability (ductility, hole expandability, etc.) and resistance It is not easy to achieve both strength that can ensure impact resistance, and various techniques have been proposed so far. [0004] For example, in Patent Document 1, in a high-strength steel plate of 780 MPa class or higher, the steel plate structure has a space ratio of ferrite: 5 to 50%, retained austenite: 3% or less, and balance: martensite (average aspect ratio: 1). 5. and above), techniques for improving the strength-elongation balance and the strength-elongation flange balance are disclosed. [0005] In Patent Document 2, a composite structure composed of ferrite having an average crystal grain size of 10 μm or less, martensite of 20% by volume or more, and other second phase is formed in a high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, and has corrosion resistance and resistance. Techniques for improving secondary process brittleness are disclosed. [0006] Patent Documents 3 and 8 disclose a technique for ensuring high elongation even at high strength by using the metal structure of a steel sheet as a composite structure of ferrite (soft structure) and bainite (hard structure). [0007] Patent Document 4 describes in high-strength steel sheets that the space factor is 5 to 30% for ferrite and 50 to 95% for martensite, the average grain size of ferrite is 3 μm or less in diameter equivalent to a circle, and the average grain of martensite. A technique for forming a composite structure having a diameter equivalent to a circle and having a diameter of 6 μm or less to improve elongation and stretch ferrite properties is disclosed. [0008] In Patent Document 5, precipitation-enhanced ferrite precipitated by controlling the precipitation distribution mainly by the precipitation phenomenon (interphase interfacial precipitation) caused by grain boundary diffusion at the phase interface during the transformation from austenite to ferrite is used as the main phase. , A technique for achieving both strength and elongation is disclosed. [0009] Patent Document 6 discloses a technique in which a steel sheet structure has a ferrite single-phase structure and ferrite is reinforced with fine carbides to achieve both strength and elongation. In Patent Document 7, in a high-strength thin steel plate, the austenite grains having a required C concentration at the interface between the ferrite phase, the bainite phase, and the martensite phase and the austenite grains are set to 50% or more, and the elongation and hole expandability are improved. The technology to secure is disclosed. [0010] In recent years, attempts have been made to use high-strength steel of 590 MPa or more in order to significantly reduce the weight of automobiles and improve impact resistance. There is a demand for high-strength steel of 590 MPa or more, which is excellent in ductility, hole widening property, etc.).
