[oooi] :'.•• The present invention relates to a hot-rolled steel sheet which; has superior / local deformability during bending, stretch flanging, burring or the like of stretch forming or the like, has low orientation dependence of formability, and is used for automobile components and the like; and a method of producing the same. Priority is claimed on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-047720, filed .March.4, 2011 and Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-048231, filed March 4,201 L me [Background Art] 1 [0002] | .,•'•".• 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 dWtolugl strengthen in^; | 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. | [0004]' '•'•' 1 To that end, Non-Patent Document 2 discloses a method of iniproying uniform elongation at the same strength by preparing a complex metallpgraphie . structure of a steel sheet. i [ 0 0 0 5 ]Ndn-Patent Document 3 discloses a method of controlling a metallographic I 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. | [ 0 0 0 6 ] :.-'".• f In addition, Non patent Document 4 discloses a technique of increasing strength and securin0g ductility at the same time in which cooling after I hot rolling is controlled to control a metallographic structure; and a precipitate and a transformation structure are controlled to obtain appropriate fractions of ferrite and bainite. • . • ' ' • • ' .

These techniques are so-called grain refinement techniques. For example, Non-Patent Document 5 discloses a technique of increasing strength and toughness by grain refinement in which large reduction is performed in an austenite 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 phase of a product.

[ ' • • " • • [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. • < . - • • • • • • . . ' . - ' • . . • • j. 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.

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 .*'. • ••..'• •• i 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 • • ' • - " ' • ' •. ' '••••. •'.

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 .

'"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, .'•'; ••••'.

[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. - 15 - [0041] | (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.

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 • • • •.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[0083]' . . . • • ' • • '• 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 ' . . - 3 4 - /.••';• . • • ' ' j 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.. [0084] , •]' 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 i 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 - 35 - # ; • ' ; • ' . • either or both of the methods. [0086] ! • Hot rolling performed as described above is finished at a temperature of Tl °.C or higher. When the end temperature of hot rolling is lower thanTl°C, rolling is performed in a non-recrystallized region and anisotropy is increased. | Therefore, local deformability significantly deteriorates. { 'V-'' [0087] .J; .'••;'•; When a pass of a roiling reduction of 30% or higher in a temperature range of (T1+30)°C to (T1+200)°C is defined as a large: reduction pass, it is necessary that a ' • ' . . . • ' ' ' •."'.' • i ' .

That is, cooling after the final pass greatly affects the equiaxial;grain fraction and coarse grain area ratio of the steel sheet. t<2.5x tl ... (Expression 3) i;' In the expression 3, tl is represented by the following expression 4. tl=0.001^<((Tf-Tl)xPl/100)2-0.109x((Tf-Tl)xPl/100)+3.1 J:.. (Expression 4) ! > [0088] ; 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. | [0089] ! ; ' By further limiting the; waiting tfme t to be shorter than t l , the growth of crystargrains can be suppressed to a large degree. In the case of a hot-foiled sheet • •• - 36 - •]••'>:•' ? . '; 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. [0091] I When an increase in the temperature of the steel sheet is very low in the temperature range of (Tl+30)°G to (T1+200)°C; and the predetermined roll reduction ' is not obtained in the temperature range of (T1+30)°C to (Tl+200)oC,;:recrystallization is suppressed at the same timev I [0092] ! When rL and r60 are 0.70 to 1.10, respectively, in the state where the pole . •', densities, rC, and r30 are in the predetermined ranges, the expression of sheet thickness/minimum bending radius>2.0 is satisfied. To that end, it is! preferable that an increase in the temperature of the steel sheet between passes during the reduction in the temperature range of (T1+30)6C to (T1+200)°C is suppressed to be lower than or equal toT8°C in a state where the waiting time until the start of me. primary cooling is -in the above-described range: Whenthe increase in the temperature of the steel sheet between passes in the temperature range of (T1+30)°C to (T1+200)°C is lower than or equal to 18°G; and the • - ' - 37 ' - • • ' • • ! • ' ' ' • • • ' '• '9. waiting time t satisfies the above-described expression 3, uniformly recrystallized austenite in which rL and r60 are 0.70 to 1.10 can be obtained. | . [0093] "... ! 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; • . : [0094] 1 . • • • • ' • ' • . • ' • ! -' : ': • • ^ A cooling pattern after passing through a finishing mill is not;particularly . limited. Even when cooling patterns for performing structure controls suitable for the respective purposes are adopted, the effects of the present invention ca)ti be obtained. 38 - 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. The production method according to the embodiment is shown using a . flowchart of FIG 9. j As described above, in the embodiment, it is important that the first hot . rolling, the second hot rolling, the third hot rolling, and the primary cooling are performed under the predetermined conditions, ! [0095] | During hot rolling, after rough rolling, a sheet bar may be joined and finish rolling may be continuously performed.

mechanical properties of each steel are shown in Tables 4 to 18. • 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 • i 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 . • [0:121] For example, as illustrated in FIGS. 6, 7,;and %, the ^ e l% wlfeh s^t|sfied;1he: - 60 - ' ' .

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.
