Specification

Technical field
[0001]The present invention, hot rolled steel plate (hereinafter, also referred to as hot-rolled steel sheet) and to a manufacturing method thereof, particularly to toughness excellent tensile strength 1180MPa or more hot-rolled steel sheet anisotropy and a manufacturing method thereof.
BACKGROUND
[0002]Recently, in order to improve and enhance the collision safety of automobile fuel efficiency, efforts to body weight reduction by application of high-strength steel sheet has been actively conducted. However, when increasing the strength of the steel sheet, commonly toughness is deteriorated. Therefore, in the development of high-strength steel sheet is an important challenge is to achieve high strength without deteriorating toughness. In particular, in high-strength steel sheet which is applied to the mobile member, it is important to ensure crashworthiness. Here, in order to improve the toughness and rolling at a low temperature, to improve the toughness by applying the cumulative strain high in non-recrystallized austenite is generally known.
[0003]In contrast, in Patent Document 1, austenite by the proper range reduction ratio between the average strain rate and the at 860 ~ 960 ° C. as the pre-recrystallization region, the volume of the tissue to be transformed from un-recrystallized austenite increased, cold-rolled steel sheet with improved toughness of cold-rolled steel sheet has been proposed by fine tissue yelling made by hot rolling. However, non-rolling reduction in the recrystallization austenite to increase the higher the aspect ratio of prior austenite grains, there is a problem toughness anisotropy becomes strong.
[0004]Hot rolling Patent Document 2, the finishing temperature is high temperature, 1000 ° C. to promote recrystallization austenite by increasing the following reduction ratio was reduced anisotropy by shortening the time until cooling after rolling steel plate has been proposed. However, increasing the reduction rate of 1000 ° C. or less, although to promote recrystallization, in order to perform the finish rolling at a high temperature, recrystallization between stands is promoted, maintaining a high strain at the final stand can not. Therefore, recrystallized austenite grains is not only formed as coarse, there is a problem that toughness becomes inferior.
[0005]In Patent Document 3, the cumulative rolling reduction of 840 ° C. greater with respect to the set to 30% or more, 840 ° C. or less of the reduction ratio of 30% or more, by 75% or less to suppress the aspect ratio of prior austenite grains, crystal grain size of 10μm or more, has been proposed hot rolled steel sheet to 60μm or less. However, when you are rolling at 840 ° C. or less recrystallization does not occur, since occurs grain growth by strain introduced, the crystal grains has a problem that coarse.

[0027]
 Next, a description tissue for the hot rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
[0028]
 Hot rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment has a former austenite grains are finer recrystallized structure. A tensile strength of 1180MPa or higher class, the average particle size of prior austenite grains from relying heavily on toughness, transformed tissue, i.e. does not matter for the steel sheet structure. Single phase is preferable in order to reduce the absolute value and the anisotropy of the toughness, the martensite single phase is often used in high strength steel.
[0029]
 In order to improve the toughness, it can be finer austenite structure conventionally known to be effective. As a means to increase the cumulative rolling reduction of unrecrystallized austenite, it is common to a flat tissue. However, in the case with complex modified as collision characteristics of automobile steel sheet, the only high unidirectional toughness can not be obtained good characteristics, it is necessary to improve the anisotropy for the rolling direction. The present inventors have conducted intensive studies, toughness of crack propagation characteristics found to depend largely on the shape of the old austenite structure in order to reduce the anisotropy recrystallized austenite, by polygonal of It has also been found that it is effective. Furthermore, when a high temperature the hot rolling temperature in order to promote recrystallization, the crystal grains become coarse, in order to suppress this, the strain rate at the final stand of the hot rolling and the rolling temperature proper I found a method in the range. This method to express recrystallized only in the final stand, it is possible to obtain a fine austenitic recrystallized structure, it is possible to obtain a steel sheet having a and excellent toughness have more tensile strength 1180MPa Become.
[0030]
  X-ray diffraction intensity ratio comprises 2.0 or more in which the texture of {001} <110> to the random sample
 from the surface in the L cross-section of the steel sheet of the present embodiment having a thickness of 1 / metal structure in 4 position, the average value of the aspect ratio of 2.0 or less, an average particle diameter of 0.1μm or more, 3.0 [mu] m or less, and variation coefficient of standard deviation / an average particle diameter of the particle size distribution is 0.40 prior austenite grains is not less than, as well as texture X-ray diffraction intensity ratio of the {001} <110> to the random sample is 2.0 or more.
[0031]
 The aspect ratio of prior austenite grains is divided by the ratio of the average crystal grain size in the rolling direction with an average grain size in the thickness direction. L section refers to a cut face so as to pass through the central axis parallel to the steel sheet in the thickness direction to the rolling direction.
[0032]
 The average value of 2.0 than the prior austenite grain aspect ratio, resulting anisotropy of toughness, parallel crack propagation properties in the rolling direction is inferior. The aspect ratio of prior austenite grains, it accumulates strain is insufficient, it rolling temperature is low, or both, there is a high tendency when recrystallization ratio of the austenite is not sufficiently obtained. To eliminate anisotropy smaller or completely, the aspect ratio of prior austenite grains is preferably 1.7 or less, more preferably 1.5 or less, more preferably 1.3 or less, even more preferably 1. 1 or less, even more preferably 1.0.
[0033]
 The average particle size of prior austenite grains is an average value of the circle equivalent diameter.
[0034]
 The average particle size is less than 0.1μm of prior austenite grains, because the work hardening characteristics of a steel sheet is lost, and when the coil after hot rolling, cracks when unwinding the coil is likely to occur in the next step. On the other hand, when it exceeds 3.0 [mu] m, low temperature toughness is inferior in high strength steel sheet. The average particle size of prior austenite grains is preferably 0.5μm or more, 2.5 [mu] m or less, more preferably 0.7μm or more, 2.4 [mu] m or less, more preferably 1.0μm or more and less 2.3 .mu.m.
[0035]
 Coefficient of variation is calculated by "standard deviation" / "average particle size" of the particle size of prior austenite grains. When recrystallization high strain is applied during hot rolling is expressed grew after immediately recrystallized grains and recrystallized and grain are mixed. Therefore, the standard deviation of the particle size of prior austenite grains is increased, the coefficient of variation is large. Since the crack propagation is suppressed by fine regions, toughness of the steel sheet higher fines and the coefficient of variation is improved. Toughness variation coefficient is excellent 0.40 or more is obtained. Coefficient of variation is preferably 0.45 or more, more preferably 0.50 or more, more preferably 0.55 or more. The upper limit of the variation coefficient is not particularly limited, for example may be 0.80.
[0036]
 1/4 position of the thickness of a L section of the steel sheet from the surface of the steel sheet after the mirror polishing, 3% nital - corroded (3% nitric acid in ethanol), observing the microstructure with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to the aspect ratio of prior austenite grains can be measured average particle size, and the standard deviation of the particle size distribution. Specifically, the range of crystal grains in one field of view is about 10,000 observed by imaging by SEM observation, and image analyzed using image analysis software (WinROOF), the average grain size of prior austenite grains, aspect ratio can be calculated average value, and standard deviation of the particle size distribution.
[0037]
 Metal structure at 1/4 position of the thickness from the surface in the L cross-section of the steel sheet of the present embodiment also, the {001} <110> orientation X-ray diffraction intensity ratio of the relative random sample (hereinafter, also referred to as X-ray random intensity ratio) but including in a texture 2.0 or higher.
[0038]
 More X-ray random intensity ratio in the rolling direction and parallel to {001} <110> orientation perpendicular to the rolling surface is large, the influence of the crystal orientation to be given to the toughness in the rolling direction and the vertical direction is reduced, L direction and C direction of anisotropy is reduced. {001} <110> orientation X-ray random intensity ratio of for the random sample is preferably 3.0 or more, more preferably 4.0 or more.
[0039]
 X-ray random intensity ratio in X-ray diffraction measurement, with respect to the X-ray intensity of a powder sample having a random orientation distribution, the intensity ratio of the X-ray intensity of the hot rolled steel sheet sample to be measured, a suitable X-ray tube subjected to X-ray diffraction intensity measurement of alpha {002} surface using a diffractometer method using a ball, it is determined by comparison with the diffraction intensity of the random sample.
[0040]
 If the measurement is difficult due to X-ray diffraction, using EBSD (Electron Back Scattering Diffraction Pattern) method, 1/5 or less of the average particle size measurement interval of pixels in a region where crystal grains can be measured more than 5000 measured may be measured X-ray random intensity ratio from the distribution of the pole figure or ODF (Orientation distribution Function).
[0041]
 
 hot rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment, assuming application to improve or body weight of the collision safety of automobiles and the like, the tensile strength and more than 1180 MPa. Tensile limit strength is not particularly provided, it is preferably not more than 2000MPa were evaluated in the toughness.
[0042]
 Next, a method for manufacturing the hot rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
[0043]
 Method for producing a hot rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment includes the steps of following (a) ~ (e):
 (a) the slab having the component composition described above 1100 ° C. or higher, the heating step of heating to below 1350 ° C. ;
 (b) the slab after heating, four or more a rolling step of rolling using a rolling mill having a plurality of stands, the total length of the last four stands of the plurality of stand below 18m There, thickness reduction before and after the last four stand step satisfies the following formula 1
  1.2 ≦ ln (t 0 /T)≦3.0 (equation 1)
 where, t 0 is the last a plate thickness immediately before the four stands, t is the plate is thick immediately after exiting from the last four stands;
 and rolling temperature in strain rate and final stand in the final stand of four stands (c) of the last but satisfies Equations 2 and 3 below Degree
  11.0 ≦ log (v × exp ( 33000 / (273 + T)) ≦ 15.0 ( Equation 2)
  T ≧ Ar 3 point (Equation 3)
 Here, v is an strain rate in the final stand (/ s) , T is a rolling delivery temperature of the final stand (° C.);
 (d) the start of the cooling within 1.0 seconds after the finish rolling, the temperature range from finish rolling temperature to 750 ℃ 100 ℃ / s or higher cooling step to cool at an average cooling rate; and
 (E) after the cooling step, the winding step for winding.
 Hereinafter, the respective steps will be described.
[0044]
 
 before hot rolling (hot rolling), heat against the slab. When heating the slab having the same chemical composition as the hot rolled steel sheet according to the embodiment, obtained by continuous casting or the like, the temperature of the heating is less than 1100 ° C., homogenization of the slab becomes insufficient. In this case, the strength and workability of the resulting steel sheet is lowered. On the other hand, if the heating temperature is above 1350 ° C., the initial austenite grain size is increased, the average particle size of prior austenite grains becomes difficult to fabricate the structure of the steel plate to be less than 3.0 [mu] m. Therefore, the heating temperature, 1100 ° C. or more and less than 1350 ° C..
[0045]
 
 In the rolling step, the continuously tandem rolling for rolling steel plate using a rolling mill having four or more of the plurality of stands, among the plurality of stands, the total distance of the last four stands, cumulative strain rolling in the four stands with (thickness reduction), it is important to control the rolling temperature and strain rate at the final stand. Mill for the tandem rolling, the strain if appropriate strain range of four successive roll stands at the rear end is accumulated. Also, in the final stand, by optimizing the strain rate and rolling temperature can be recrystallized austenite by strain accumulated. Usually, the finishing stands of hot rolling 6 stages or seven stages are mainstream. It is, of course, not limited to this number of stages, in the present invention, among the plurality of stands, to the proper range strain amount and strain rate by controlling the rolling of the last four stages.
[0046]
 Specifically, the four or more of the plurality of stands, the total length of the last four stands are arranged such that below 18m. Because steel is a tandem rolling linked, if it is the optimized strain rate at the final stand of the four or more stands, interpass time between the last four stand (3), strain it can be adjusted to the rolling speed and reduction ratio which can accumulate. That is, the final stand delivery side of the rolling speed and rolling reduction Kimare, rolling speed of the previous stand determines. For example, the final one rolling speed × rolling speed = final stand of the previous stand (reduction ratio of 1 final stand). Further, the path between the time = path distance / final one rolling speed of the previous stand. Therefore, since the strain true accumulating the path distance (down plate thickness), it is possible to obtain the interpass time and strain rate of all of the stand. Since the total length of the last four stand interpass time is long in 18m greater, it is impossible to accumulate the required strain for recrystallization, the aspect ratio of prior austenite grains is increased, X-rays random intensity ratio Chisanaru is. The lower limit of the total length of the last four stands, in view of easily controlling the inter-path is preferably 10m or more.
[0047]
 In the last four stands, to impart strain of formula 1.
   ≦ ln 1.2 (t 0 /T)≦3.0 (Equation 1)
 where, ln (t 0 / t) represents strain true accumulating decreased plate thickness (the logarithmic strain), t 0 is the last plate thickness of just before entering the four stand, t is the thickness of the immediately after exiting from the last of the four stand. ln (t 0 in value is less than 1.2 / t), the strain necessary for recrystallization at the final stand is not granted, the aspect ratio of prior austenite is increased. ln (t 0 in value than 3.0 in / t), since the inter-path is too large decrease thickness time becomes longer, sufficient strain can not be applied in the final stand, it can be recrystallized no, the aspect ratio of prior austenite increases.
[0048]
 In the final stand of the last four stands, it is rolling at a strain rate and the rolling temperature satisfy the following formula 2 and formula 3.
   11.0 ≦ log (v × exp ( 33000 / (273 + T)) ≦ 15.0 ( Equation 2)
   T ≧ Ar 3 point (Equation 3)
 Here, v is the strain rate of the final stand (/ s), . T is a rolling delivery temperature of the final stand (℃) equation 2, Zener's-Hollomon factor (Z factor) is a function of strain rate and temperature:

It was derived based on the. The value is less than 11.0 log (v × exp (33000 / (273 + T)), or rolling temperature strain rate slow because of the high or both, an average particle size of prior austenite grains obtained becomes coarse the value 15.0 Ultra .log (v × exp (33000 / (273 + T)), because the strain rate rolling temperature is low or both or fast, the austenite can not be recrystallized, large aspect ratio becomes, X-rays random intensity ratio becomes smaller. Moreover, strain rate also affects the growth time of recrystallized grains of austenite. that is, the standard deviation of the recrystallized grain size slower strain rate increases. on the other hand, can no longer be assured the time required when the strain rate is too fast to recrystallization during hot finish rolling will not cause recrystallization. in addition, the strain rate and the rolling temperature The relationship long as it satisfies the above equation 2, there is no limitation on a respective values. However, in order to put the aspect ratio of prior austenite grain size in a predetermined range, it is necessary to recrystallized austenite single phase. When the ferrite is generated during rolling, recrystallized austenite inhibited by ferrite, the crystal grain size becomes flat, the rolling delivery side is essential be carried out in single-phase austenite. final stand of the last four stands in satisfies the equation 2, and .T need to satisfy equation 3 is rolling delivery temperature of the final stand, T method of manufacturing a hot rolled steel sheet according to the present embodiment Ar 3 by at least points , .Ar can be obtained more tensile strength 1180 MPa 3 points following
 formula: Ar 3 = 901-325 × C + 33 × Si-92 × Mn + 287 × P
