[Background Art] 1

.,•'•".• In order to suppress the amount of carbon dioxide gas emitted from a vehicle^
the weight of a vehicle body has been reduced by the use of a high-strength steel sheet.
From the viewpoint of securing the safety of a passenger, a large number of high-strength
steel sheets, in addition to a mild steel sheets, are used in a vehicle body.
However, in order to further reduce the weight of a vehicle body, the strength of a
high-strength steel sheet to be used is required to be higher than that of the related art.
[0003]•
However, generally, as the strength of a.steel sheet is increased, the
formability thereof is reduced., For example, Non-Patent Document 1 discloses that
"uniform elongation, which is important during drawing or stretch forming, deteriorates

Therefore, in order to use a high-strength steel sheet in, for .example,
suspension components or components of a vehicle body for. absorbing collision energy,
it is important to improve local deformability such as local ductility which contributes
to formability such as burring workability or bending workability. |

structure in which local deformability, represented by bendability, hole expansibility, of
burring workability, is improved by inclusion control, single structuring, and a
reduction in hardness difference between structures. In this method, a single structure
is prepared by structure control to improve hole expansibility. In order to prepare a
- single structure, basically, "a heat treatment from an austenitic single phase is required
in this method as disclosed in Non-Patent Document 4. |

region in a lowest possible temperature range to transform non-recrystallized austenite
into ferrite and thus to facilitate the grain refinement of ferrite which is the primary

[0009] I
As described above, as measures for improving elongation arid local
deformability of a high-strength steel sheet, generally, structure control including
inclusion control is performed. However, for structure control, it is necessary that a
precipitate or fractions and forms of structures such as ferrite and bainite be controlled.

Therefore, a metallographic structure of a base is limited. {
[0010]
An object of the present invention is to provide a hot-rolled steel sheet in
which the kinds of phases are not limited, the strength is high, the elongation and local
deformability are superior, and the orientation dependence of formability is low by
controlling not a base structure but a texture and furthermore controlling the size and
form of a grain unit of crystal grains; and to provide a method of producing the same.
"High strength" described in the present invention represents |the tensile
V strength being greater than or equal to 440 MPa. I

, According to the findings of the related art, as described above, elongation
and local deformability, which contribute to hole expansibility, bendability, and the like,
are improved by inclusion control, precipitate refining, structure homogenizing, single
structuring, and a reduction in hardness difference between structures.! However, only
with these techniques, a main structure configuration is limited. Furthermore, when
Nb, Ti, or the like, which is a representative element significantly contributing to an
increase in strength, is added, there is a concern that anisotrppy is extremely increased.
Therefore, other formability factors deteriorate, a direction of blanking before forming

is limited, and me use thereof is limited.
[0012] ? !
In order to improve elongation and local deformability contributing to hole ;
expansibility, bending workability, and the like, the present inventors have newly
focused on influences of a texture of a steel sheet and have investigated and studied the
effects thereof in detail. As the results, it was found that local deforhlability can be
significantly improved by controlling, in a hot rolling process, pole densities of
orientations of a specific crystal orientation group; and by controlling a Lankford value
(r value) in a direction (C direction) that forms 90° with respect to a rolling direction
and a Lankford value (r value) in a direction that forms 30° with respect to the rolling
direction..
Furthermore, it was found that local deformability can be further improved by
• • ' • - " ' • ' •. ' '••••. •'. I
controlling the r value in the rolling direction, fhe r value in a direction that forms 60°
with respect to the rolling direction, and the shape, size, and hardness of crystal grains
in a structure in which the strength of orientations of a specific crystal!orientation
group is controlled. ;
'[0013]
However, generally, in a structure into which low-temperature product phases
(for example, bainite and martensite) are incorporated, it is difficult to; quantify crystal
grains. Therefore, in the .related art, effects of the shape and size of crystal grains are
hot'studied.' ' • ' • ] •'
On the other hand, the present inventors found that the quantification problem
can be solved by defining a grain unit, which is measured as follows, as crystal grains
and using the size of the grain unit as the grain size, i
. [0014] ,. •"'.•;•; . . '"i •'".'.;
That is, the grain unit described in the present invention can be obtained by
measuring orientations in a measurement step of 0.5 um or less at a magnification of,
for example, 1500 times in analysis of orientations of a steel sheet using EBSP
(Electron Backscattering Diffraction Pattern); and defining a position in which a
difference between adjacent measurement points is greater than 15° as: a grain
, boundary of a grain unit, .'•'; ••••'.
[0015] . '.' i I
Regarding the crystal grains (grain unit) defined as describedjabove, when the
equivalent circle diameter defined as described above is d and d=2r, each volume is
' • • ' " • •' I
obtained according to 4%r /3; and a volume average grain size can be obtained by a
weighted average of the volume. j
As a result of the investigation on the effects of the volume average grain size
on the elongation of the grain unit, it was found that ductility and local ductility can be
improyed by controlling the strength of orientations of a specific crystal orientation
- group and controlling the volume average grain size to be less than or |equal to a
critical grain size. | .

[Embodiments of the Invention]
[0036] j
Hereinbelow, an embodiment of the present invention will be| described in
detail. ' . " ' ' , !
(1) An average value of pole densities of an orientation grou£ {100}<011> to
{223} and a pole density of a crystal orientation {332}<113> , in a thickness
center portion of a thickness range of 5/8 to 3/8 from a surface of the steel sheet:
In the hot-rolled steel sheet according to the embodiment, an average value of
pole densities of an orientation,group {100}<011> to {223}<110>, wriich.is
represented by an arithmetic mean of pole densities of orientations {100}<011>,
{.116}<11'0>, {114}<110>, {112}<110>, and {223}<110> in a thickness .center portion
of a thickness range of 5/8 to.3/8 from the surface ofthe steel sheet, is a particularly
' .; - .13'-
important characteristic value. ;
[0037] . •
As illustrated in FIG. 1, when the average value of pole densities of the
orientation group {100}<011>to {223}<110> in the thickness centerportion of a
thickness range of 5/8 to 3/8 from the surface of the steel sheet, is less; than or equal to
6.5, that is, when the average value of pole densities of the orientation! group
{100}<011> to {223}<110>, which is obtained by calculating intensity ratios of
orientations to a random sample according to the ESBP method, is less than or equal to
6.5, a value d/Rm (bending in the C direction) of sheet thickness/mininiurn bending
radius, which is necessary for processing suspension components and frame
components is greater than or equal to 1.5. Furthermore, when the average value of
pole densities of the orientation group {100}<011> to {223}<110> is less than or equal
to 5.0, a ratio of bending in the 45° direction to bending in the C direction (bending in
45° direction/bending in C direction) as the index indicating the orientation
' ' - . • ' • ' , • i "
dependency (isotropy) of formability is less than or equal to 1.4, winch is more
preferable because local deformability is high irrespective of a bending direction.
When superior hole expansibility and low limit bending property are necessary, the
average value of the pole densities is more preferably less than 4.0 and still more
preferably less than 3.0.; . I
When the average, value of pole densities of the orientation group
{100}<011>to {223}<110> is greater than 6.5, the anisotropy of mechanical
properties of the steel sheet is extremely increased. As a result, even! though local
deformability in a direction is improved, material properties significantly deteriorate in
different directions from the direction and the above-described expression of sheet
tWekness/minimum bending radius>l.5 is not satisfied. j
- ' ' ' ' • . ; i ' •
- 1 4 > •;'."!.."••' '•'•.:'"'•
[0038] /
Meanwhile, when the average value of the pole densities is less than 1.0, there
is a concern pertaining to deterioration in local deformability. !
. j
[0039] !
For the same reason, as illustrated in FIG. 2, when the pole density of the
crystal orientation {332}<113> in the thickness center portion of a thickness range of
5/8 to 3/8 from the surface of the steel sheet is less than of equal to 5.0, the value of
• . . .' i
sheet thickness/minimum bending radius of 1.5 or greater, which is necessary for
processing suspension components, is satisfied. I
Furthermore, when the pole density of the crystal orientation |{332}<113> is
greater than or equal to 4.0, the ratio of bending in the 45° direction to: bending in the
C direction is less than or equal to 1.4, which is more preferable. The above-
' . ' . . ' • . • ' " ' ' • . • • . •• i. • • -•
described pole density is more preferably less than or equal to 3.0. When the pole
density is greater than 5,0, the anisotropy of mechanical properties of the steel sheet is
extremely increased. As a result, even though local deformability in ja direction is
improved, material properties significantly deteriorate in different directions from the
direction. Therefore,; the expression of sheet thickness/minimum bending radius>1.5
or the expression of ratio of bending in the 45°.direction to bending injthe C
directional .4 cannot be satisfied. On the other hand, when the pole density is less
than 1.0, there is a concern pertaining to deterioration of local deformability.
[0040]
The reason why the above-described pole density of the crystal orientation is
important for shape fixability during bending is not clear, but it is considered that the
pole density has a relationship with the slip behavior of crystal during jbettding
deformation.

(2) r Value rC in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction: i
This rC is important in the embodiment. That is, as a result of thorough
investigation^ the present inventors found that, even when only the above-described
pole densities of the various kinds of crystal orientations are appropriate, superior hole
expansibility and bendability cannot be necessarily obtained. In addition to the
above-described pole densities, it is necessary for the rC to be 0.70 to 1.10.
When this rC is 0.70 to 1.10, superior local deformability can; be obtained.

(3) r Value r30 in a direction that forms 30° with respect to the rolling direction:
This r30 is important in the embodiment. That is, as a result of thorough
investigation, the present inventors found that, even when the above-described pole
densities of the various kinds of crystal orientations are appropriate, superior local
deformability cannot be necessarily obtained. In addition to the aboye-descf ibed p" ole
densities, it is necessary that r30 be 0.70 to 1.10. j
When this r30 is 0.70 to 1.10, superior local deformability can be obtained.

(4) Volume average grain size of crystal grains. ^ j
As a result of thorough investigation on the texture control and microstructure
of a hot-rolled steel sheet, the present inventors found that, under the conditions that
the texture is controlled as described above, the influences of the size,jin particular, the
volume average grain size of crystal grains on elongation is exteemelyj large; and the

Regarding the contribution of the grain unit, even when the number of crystal
grains is small, as the large size of the grain unit increase, the elongatipn deteriorates.
Therefore, the size of the grain unit has a strong correlation not with the normal
average grain size but with the volume average grain size obtained by the weighted
average of the volume. In order to obtain the above-described effects, it. is preferable
that the volume average grain size be 2 um to 15 urn. In the case of a steel sheet

The reason why me elongation is improved by the refinement of the volume
average grain size is not clear, but is considered to be that strain dispersion is promoted
during local deformation by suppressing micro-order local strain concentration.
Furthermore, it is considered that microscopic local strain concentration can be
suppressed by improving deformation homogenization, micro-order strain can be
uniformly dispersed, and uniform elongation can be improved. Meanwhile, the :
reason why fatigue properties are improved by the refinement of the vblume average
grain size is considered to be that since a fatigue phenomenon is repetitive plastic
deformation which is dislocation motion, this phenomenon is strongly: affected by a
grain boundary which is a barrier thereof. !

of crystal grains and the effect thereof is large. In order to suppress the localization of
strain and improve the bendability by the effects of the isotropic and ej^uiaxial
properties,; it is preferable that an area ratio (coarse grain area ratio) of coarse crystal
grains having a grain size of greater than 35 um to the crystal grains in the
metallographic structure be smaller and 0% to 10%. When the ratio is lower than or
equal to 1Q%, the bendability can be sufficiently improved.

The reason is not clear, but it is considered that bending deformation is the
mode in which strain locally concentrates; and a state in which strain concentrates on
all the crystal grains uniformly and equivalently is advantageous for bendability. It is
considered that, when the amount of crystal grains having a great grain size is large,
even if the isotropic and equiaxial properties are sufficient, local crystal grains are
deformed; and as a result, due to the orientations of the locally deformed crystal grains, ,
unevenness in bendability is great and the bendability deteriorates. !

(6) r Value rL in the rolling direction and r value r60 in a direction that forms 60° with

Furthermore, as the results of thorough investigation, it is found that, in a state

It is generally known that a texture and an r value have a correlation with each
other. However, in the hot-rolled steel sheet according to the embodiment, the abovedescribed
limitation relating to the pole densities of crystal orientations and the abovedescribed
limitation relating to the r values do not have the same meaning. Therefore,
when both the limitations are satisfied at the same time, superior.locaiideformability
can be obtained. , I

(7) Ratio of grains having superior equiaxial property !
, ; As the results of further investigation on local deformability, the present
,/.' inventors found that, when the equiaxial property of crystal grains is superior in a state
where the above-described texture and r values are satisfied, the orientation
dependency of bending is small and the local deformability is improved. The index
indicating this equiaxial property is the ratio of crystal grains having aj value of 3.0" or
less to all the crystal grains in the metallographic structure of the steel! sheet and having
superior equiaxial property, in which the value is obtained by dividing: a length dL in
• • • •. ' • |
the hot rolling direction by a length dt in a thickness direction (dL/dt),;that is, an
equiaxial grain fraction. It is preferable that the equiaxial grain fraction is 5 0% to
100%. When the equiaxial grain fraction is less than 50%, bendability R in the L

(9) Standard deviation of hardness of primary.phase/ average value of hardness
In addition to the texture, grain size, and equiaxial property, the homogeneity
of each crystal grain also greatly contributes to the uniform dispersion; of micro-order
strain during rolling. As a result of investigation on the homogeneity, the present
inventors found that the balance between the ductility and the local deformation of a
final product can be improved in a structure having high homogeneity; of the primary .
phase. This homogeneity is defined by measuring the hardness of the primary phase
having a highest phase fraction with a nanoindenter at 1Q0 or more points under a load
of 1 mN; and obtaining a standard deviation thereof. That is, the loWer standard
deviation of hardness/the average value of hardness, the higher the homogeneity, and
when the average value is lower than or equal to 0.2, the effect thereof is obtained. In
the nanoindenter (for example, UMIS-2000, manufactured by CSIRQ), the hardness of
a Crystal grain alone not having a grain boundary can be measured by using a indenter
having a•.smaller' size than the^grain size. •'•;! •.-•

The present invention is applicable to all the hot-rolled steel sheets, and when

significantly improved without being limited to a combination of metaliographic
structures of the steel sheet. The above-described hot-rolled steel sheets include hotrolled
steel strips which are base sheets for cold-rolled steel sheets or zinc-plated steel

The pole density is synonymous with X-ray random intensity-ratio. TheXray
random intensity ratio is the values obtained by measuring the X-rjay intensities of
a reference sample not having accumulation in a specific orientation ahd a.test sample
with an X-ray diffraction method under the same conditions; and dividing the X-ray
. intensity, of the test sample by the X-ray intensity of the reference sample. The pole
density can be measured by an X-ray diffraction, EBSP, or ECP (Electron Channeling
Pattern) method. For example, the average value of pole densities of the orientation
group {100}<011>to {223}<110> is obtained by obtaining pole densities of
orientations {100}<011>, {116}<110>, {114}<110>, {112}<110>, anjl {223}<110>
from a three-dimensional texture (ODF) which is calculated using plural pole figures
of pole figures {110}, {100}, {211}, and {310} according to a series expanding
method; and obtaining an arithmetic mean of these pole densities. In; the
measurement, it is only necessary that a sample which is provided for the Xrray
diffraction, EBSP, orjECP method is prepared according to the above-described
method such that the, thickness of the steel sheet is reduced to a predetermined
thickness by mechanical polishing or the like; strain is removed by chemical polishing,
electrolytic polishing, or the like; and an appropriate surface in a thicktiess range of 3/8
to 5/8 is obtained as the measurement surface. It is preferable that atransverse
direction be obtained at a 1/4 position or a 3/4 position from an end portion of the steel
. sheet. ,;;;' - • -j •• '
[0055] ! .
. Of course, when the limitation relating to the above-described pole density is
satisfied not only in the thickness center portion but in as many portions having various
thicknesses as possible, local deformability is further improved- However, as a result
of investigation on the influence 6f a texture on the material propertiedi of a steel sheet,
it was found that orientation accumulation in the thickness center portion in a thickness
range of 5/8 to 3/8 from the surface of the steel sheet most greatly affects the
anisotropy of the steel sheet; and approximately represents the material properties of
the entire steel sheet. Therefore, the average value of pole densities of the orientation
group {100}<011> to {223}<110>; and the pole density of the crystal; orientation
{332}<113>, in the thickness center portion in a thickness range of 5/8 to. 3/8 from the
surface of the steel sheet are specified.
Here, {hkl}described represents that, when a sample is prepared ,
according to the above-described method, the normal direction of a sheet plane is
parallel to {hkl}; and the rolling direction is parallel to . Regarding the crystal
orientations, generally, orientations perpendicular to a sheet plane are represented by
[hkl] or {hkl}; and orientations parallel to the rolling directionare represented by

The metallographic structure in each steel sheet can be deterrnined as follows.
Perlite is specified by structure observation using an optical microscope.
Next, crystalline structures are determined using an EBSP method, and a crystal having
a fee structure is defined as austenite. Ferrite, bainite, and martensite which have a
bec structure can be identified using a KAM (Kernel Average Misorientation) method
equipped with EBSP-OIM (registered trademark). In the KAM method, a calculation
is performed for each pixel in which orientation differences between pixels arc
averaged using, among measurement data, a first approximation of adjacent six pixels
of pixels of a regular hexagon, a second approximation of 12 pixels thereof which is
further outside, or a third approximation of 18 pixels thereof which is further outside;
and the average value is set to a center pixel value. By performing this calculation so
as hot to exceed a grain boundary, a map representing orientation changes in crystal
^ grains can be created.. This map shows the strain distribution based on local
orientation changes in crystal grains. 1

differences, when the calculated value is greater than 1°, the pixel is defined as bainite
or martensite which is a low-temperature transformation product; and when the

is as follows: since polygonal pro-eutecitoid ferrite transformed at a high temperature
is produced by diffusion transformation, a dislocation density is low, a; strain in crystal
grains is small, and differences between crystal orientations in crystal grains are small;
and as a result of various investigations which have been performed by the present
inventors, it was found that the ferrite volume fraction obtained by observation using
an optical microscope approximately matched with the area ratio obtained by the third

. austenite grain size before finish rolling is preferably less than or equal to 100 um.
To that end, it is preferable that the reduction be performed two or more times at a
rolling reduction of 40% in the first hot rolling. As the rolling reduction is larger and
the number of reduction is more, the austenite grain size becomes smaller. However,
when the rolling reduction is larger than 70% or when rough rolling is! performed more
than 10 times, there are concerns about a reduction in temperature andj excessive
production of scales. , ;

The reason why the refinement of the austenite grain size affects local
deformability is considered to be that an austenite grain boundary after rough rolling,
, that is, before finish rolling functions as a recrystallization nucleus during finish rolling.'
In order to confirm the austenite grain size after rough rolling, it is preferable
that the steel sjaeet before finish rolling be cooled as rapidly as possible. The steel
sheet is cooled at a cooling rate- of 10°C/s or higher, a structure of a cross-section of the
steel sheet is etched to make the austenite grain boundary stand out, and the
measurement is performed using an optical microscope. At this time, 20 or more
visual fields are measured with an image analysis or point counting method at a
magnification of 50 times or more. '

In order to obtain superior local deformability, it is importantjthat strain is
made accumulate by the large reduction (second hot-rolling) in the temperature range
of (T1+30)°C to (T1+200)°C; pr that recrystallization is repeatedly performed at each
reduction. For the strain accumulation, it is necessary that a total rolling reduction in

this temperature range is higher than or equal to 50%. The total rollihg reduction is
preferably higher than or equal to 70%. On the other hand, a total rolling reduction of

higher than 90% is hot preferable from the viewpoint of temperature maintenance and
excessive rolling loads. Furthermore, in order to increase the homogeneity of the hotrolled
sheet and increase the elongation and local deformability to the biaximum, it is
preferable that reduction be performed at a rolling reduction of 30% or higher in at
least one pass of the rolling (second hot rolling) in the temperature rarige of (T1+30)°C
to (T1+200)°C. The rolling reduction is more preferably higher than|or equal to 40%/
On the other hand, when the rolling reduction is larger than 70% in one pass, there is a
concern about shape defects. ' When higher workability is required, it is more

In order to promote uniform recrystallization by releasing accumulated strain,
it is necessary that, after the large reduction in the temperature range of (T1 +3 0)°C to
(T1+200)°C, the processing amount of the rolling (third hot rolling) in the temperature
range of T1°C to less than (T1+30)°C is suppressed to the minimum. [Therefore, the
total rolling reduction in the temperature range of T1°C to less than (T1+30)°C be
controlled to be lower than of equal to 30%. From the viewpoint of the shape of the
sheet, a rolling reduction of 10% or higher is preferable; however, when local
deformability is emphasized, a rolling reduction of 0% is more preferable. When the
rolling reduction in the temperature range of T1°C to less than;(Tl+30)o(^ is out of the
predetermined range, recrystallized austenite grains are grownand local defdrnlabiMty
deteriorates. ;i ^ .
As described above, under the production conditions according to the

embodiment, local deformability such as hole expansibility or bendability is improved.
Therefore, it is important that the texture of a hot-rolled production is Controlled by
uniformly and finely recrystallizing austenite during finish rolling..

When reduction is performed at a lower temperature than the specifeied
temperature range or when a rolling reduction is larger than the specified rolling
reduction, the texture of austenite is grown. As a result, in a finally obtained hotrolled
steel sheet, it is not possible to obtain the average value of pole densities of the
orientation group {100}<011> to {223}<110>, which is equal to or less than 5.0; and
the pole density of the crystal orientation {332}<113>, which is equaljto or less than

4.0, in the thickness center portion of a thickness range of 5/8 to 3/8 from the surface
of the steel sheet. That is, the pdle densities of the respective crystal ;orientations are
not obtained. '!/•..
[0085]
On the other hand, when reduction is performed at a higher temperature than
the predetermined temperature range or when a rolling reduction is lower than the
specified rolling reduction, problems of coarse crystal grain and duplex grains may
occur. As & result, the area ratio of coarse crystal grains having a grain size of greater
than 35 jam and the volume average grain size are increased. Regarding whether or
not the above-described predetermind reduction is performed or not, the rolling
reduction can be confirmed by the actual results or calculation frpm rolling load,1 sheet
thickness measurement, and the like. In addition, the temperature can also be
measured when there is a thermometer between stands or can be obtained from a line
speed, a rolling reduction, or the like by a. calculation simulation in consideration of
deformation heating and the like. ' Therefore, the temperature can be obtained in

Hot rolling performed as described above is finished at a temperature of Tl °.C

When the waiting time t is longer than the value of tlx2.5, re^rystallization is
almost completed. In addition, the crystal grains are significantly grown, coarse
grains are formed, and the r values and elongation deteriorate. |

having the components according to the embodiment, the volume average grain size
can be controlled to be less than or equal to 15 urn. Therefore, even if
recrystallization does not sufficiently advance, the elongation of the steel sheet can be
sufficiently improved and fatigue properties can be improved. j
,[0090]
In addition; by further limiting the waiting time t to be tl to 2pxtl, although
1 ' I • '
the volume average grain size of crystal grains is higher than, for example, 15 urn,
recrystallization sufficiently advances and crystal orientations are random. Therefore,
the elongation of the steel sheet can be sufficiently improved and the isotropy can be
significantly improved at the same time.

When an increase in the temperature of the steel sheet is very low in the

It is preferable that a cooling temperature change, which is a difference
between a steel sheet temperature at the'time of the start of cooling and a steel sheet
temperature at the time of the finish of cooling in the primary cooling,! is 40°C to
140°C; and the steel sheet temperature at the time of the finish of cooling in the
primary cooling is lower than or equal to (T1+100)°C. When the cooling temperature
change is greater than or equal to 40°C, the coarsening of austenite grains can be
suppressed. When the cooling temperature change is less than 40°CJ the effect cannot
be obtained. On the other hand, when the cooling temperature change is greater than,
140°C, recrystallization is insufficient and thus it is difficult to obtain the desired
random texture. In addition, it is difficult to obtain a ferrite phase which is effective
for elongation, and since the hardness of the ferrite phase is increased, elongation and
local deformability deteriorate. In addition, when the steel sheet temperature at the
time of the finish of cooling is higher than (T1+100)°C, the effects of cooling cannot
be sufficiently obtained. The reason is as follows: for example, even; when the
primary cooling is performed under appropriate conditions after the final pass, if the
steel sheet temperature after the primary cooling is higher than (T1+100)°C, there is a
concern about crystal grain growth; and the austenite grain size may be significantly
coarsened; • . :

For example, after the primary cooling in order to further suppress the; coarsening of
the austenite grains, secondary cooling may be performed after passing through a final
rolling stand of the finishing mill. When the secondary cooling is performed after the
primary cooling, it is preferable that the secondary cooling is performed within 10
•• seconds from the finish of the primary cooling. When the time exceeds 10 seconds,
the effect of suppressing the coarsening of the austenite grains cannot be obtained.

As indices of local deformability, a hole expansion ratio X and a limit bending
radius (sheet thickness/minimum bending radius) obtained by 90° V-shape bending
were used. In a bending test, bending in the C direction and bending!in the 45°
direction were performed, and a ratio thereof was used as an index of orientation

dependency (isotropy) of formability. A tensile test and the bending test were
performed according to JIS Z2241 and JIS Z2248 (V block 90° bending test), and a
hole expansion test was performed according to JFS Tl 001. In a thickness center
position of a thickness range of 5/8 to 3/8 of a cross-section parallel tof a rolling
direction, the pole densities were measured at a 1/4 position from an end portion in a
transverse direction using the above-described TiBSP method at pitches of 0.5 um. In
addition, the r values in the respective directions and the volume average grain size
were measured according to the above-described methods. !
In a fatigue test, a specimen for a plane bending fatigue test having a length of ;
98 mm, a width of 38 mm, a width of a minimum cross-sectional portidn of 20 mm,
and a bending rkdius of a notch of 30 mm, was cut out from a final product. The
product was tested in a. completely reversed plane bending fatigue test: without any
processing for a surface. Fatigue properties of the steel sheet were evaluated using a
value (fatigue limit ratio aW/oB) obtained by dividing a fatigue stferigth trW at 2x10
timesby a tensile strength:aBbf the steel sheet . •

bendability and low elongation. Furthermore, when the production conditions were
in the preferable ranges, the steels showed.higher hole expansibility, bendability,
isotropy, fatigue properties, and the like. I
[Industrial Applicability] |
[0122] j
As described above, according to the present invention, a hot-rolled steel
sheet can be obtained in which a main structure configuration is not limited; local
deformability is superior by controlling the size and form of crystal grains and
controlling a texture; and the orientation dependence of formability is low.
Accordingly, the present invention is highly applicable in the steel industry.
In addition, generally, as the strength is higher, the formability is reduced.
Therefore, the effects of the present invention are particularly high in the case of a
high-strength steel sheet.
