Background technology
[0002]
In recent years, there has been a demand for lighter automobile bodies from the perspective of environmental protection and resource saving, and high-strength steel sheets are being applied to automobile parts. Automobile parts are manufactured by press forming, but as the strength of steel sheets increases, not only does the forming load increase, but formability also decreases. Therefore, high-strength steel sheets have a problem of formability into members having complicated shapes. In order to solve such problems, the application of hot stamping technology, in which press forming is performed after heating the steel sheet to a high temperature in the austenite region at which the steel sheet is softened, has been promoted. Hot stamping is attracting attention as a technology that achieves both formability and strength of automobile parts by performing quenching treatment in a mold at the same time as press working.

In order to obtain a higher effect of reducing the weight of the vehicle body, it is necessary to obtain high-strength automobile parts that are hot-stamped steel sheets and that also have excellent collision resistance.

MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0013]
The inventors have found that the microstructure of the hot-stamped compact contains a predetermined amount of retained austenite, bainite and tempered martensite, and the grain boundaries of said bainite and said tempered martensite <0.11 The length of the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 4° to 12° with the direction as the axis of rotation, the length of the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 49° to 54°, and the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 55° to 75° The ratio of the length of the grain boundary (high-angle grain boundary) at which the rotation angle is 55 ° to 75 ° with respect to the total length of the length (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the high-angle grain boundary) It has been found that by setting the content to 30% or more, the impact resistance can be improved while the strength is high.
In the present embodiment, "excellent impact properties" means excellent uniform deformability and crack propagation suppression properties.
[0014]
The high-angle grain boundary is the grain boundary with the highest angle among the grain boundaries included in the grains of bainite and tempered martensite. When transforming from austenite to bainite or martensite, strain accompanying the transformation occurs. When the austenite before transformation has high hardness, or when the prior austenite is in a state in which it cannot be deformed, large-angle grain boundaries that are highly effective in relieving strain are likely to be formed. The present inventors put austenite in a state where it cannot be deformed by applying pressure in a predetermined temperature range after hot stamping, and then transform austenite into bainite or martensite, thereby forming many high-angle grain boundaries. I found what I can do.
[0015]

Each element will be described in detail below.
[0017]
"C: 0.30 to 0.50%"
　C is an element that improves the strength of the hot stamped compact. C is also an element that stabilizes retained austenite. If the C content is less than 0.30%, the desired strength cannot be obtained in the hot stamped product. Therefore, the C content is made 0.30% or more. The C content is preferably 0.32% or more and 0.35% or more. On the other hand, if the C content exceeds 0.50%, excellent uniform deformability cannot be obtained. Therefore, the C content is made 0.50% or less. Preferably, the C content is 0.46% or less, 0.43% or less, 0.40% or less.
[0018]
"Si: 0.50 to 3.00%"

The Mn content is preferably 0.70% or more, or 1.00% or more. On the other hand, if the Mn content exceeds 3.00%, excellent uniform deformability cannot be obtained. Therefore, the Mn content is set to 3.00% or less. Preferably, the Mn content is 2.50% or less, or 2.00% or less.

The P content is preferably 0.050% or less and 0.030% or less. The lower limit of the P content is not particularly limited, but if it is reduced to less than 0.0001%, the cost of removing P increases significantly, which is not economically preferable.
[0022]
"S: 0.1000% or less"
S is an impurity element and forms inclusions in steel. Since this inclusion becomes a starting point of fracture, the S content is made 0.1000% or less. The S content is preferably 0.0500% or less, 0.0300% or less, or 0.0100% or less. The lower limit of the S content is not particularly limited, but if it is reduced to less than 0.0001%, the desulfurization cost will increase significantly, which is not economically preferable.
[0023]
"N: 0.0100% or less"
N is an impurity element and forms nitrides in steel. The N content is set to 0.0100% or less because this nitride becomes a starting point of fracture. The N content is preferably 0.0050% or less.

In order to ensure this effect, the content of either one of Nb and Ti is preferably 0.010% or more. On the other hand, even if the content of any one of Nb and Ti exceeds 0.150%, the above effect is saturated, so the content of Nb and Ti is preferably 0.150% or less.
[0027]

"REM: 0 to 0.30%"
　Mg, Zr, Sb, Ca, and REM are elements that improve deformability by suppressing the formation of oxides, which act as starting points for fracture, and improve the collision characteristics of hot stamped bodies. In order to reliably obtain this effect, the content of any one of Mg, Zr, Sb, Ca and REM is preferably 0.001% or more. On the other hand, even if these elements are contained in large amounts, the above effects are saturated, so the Mg content, Zr content, and Sb content are each 1.00% or less, the Ca content is 0.10% or less, and the REM content is The amount is preferably 0.30% or less.
[0029]
In this embodiment, REM refers to a total of 17 elements consisting of Sc, Y and lanthanoids, and the content of REM refers to the total content of these elements.

On the other hand, even if the B content exceeds 0.0100%, the above effect is saturated, so the B content is preferably 0.0100% or less.
[0031]
The chemical composition of the hot stamped body described above can be measured by a general analytical method. For example, it may be measured using ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry). Incidentally, C and S may be measured using the combustion-infrared absorption method, and N may be measured using the inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity method. When the surface of the hot stamped body is provided with a plating layer, the chemical composition may be analyzed after removing the plating layer by mechanical grinding.
[0032]

In this embodiment, the depth position of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the hot stamped product (region of 1/8 of the plate thickness from the surface to 3/8 of the plate thickness from the surface) Define microstructure. This depth position is the midpoint between the surface of the hot stamped body and the thickness center position, and the microstructure at this position represents the steel structure of the hot stamped body (average of the entire hot stamped body This is because it shows a fine microstructure).
[0034]
"Retained austenite: 5% or more and less than 10%"
　Retained austenite improves the impact properties of hot-stamped products. If the retained austenite is less than 5%, the desired uniform deformability cannot be obtained. Therefore, retained austenite is made 5% or more. It is preferably 6% or more and 7% or more. On the other hand, if the retained austenite is 10% or more, the desired strength cannot be obtained. Therefore, retained austenite should be less than 10%. It is preferably 9% or less and 8% or less.
[0035]
"Bainite and tempered martensite: total more than 90% and less than or equal to 95%"
　Bainite and tempered martensite improve the strength of hot stamped compacts. If the sum of bainite and tempered martensite is 90% or less, desired strength cannot be obtained.

On the other hand, if the total content of bainite and tempered martensite exceeds 95%, the desired uniform deformability cannot be obtained. Therefore, the total content of bainite and tempered martensite is set to 95% or less. It is preferably 94% or less, 93% or less.
[0036]
"Remaining tissue: less than 5%"
The microstructure of the hot stamped product according to the present embodiment may contain ferrite, pearlite, fresh martensite, and granular bainite as residual structures. A high area percentage of residual tissue does not provide the desired strength and impact properties. Therefore, the residual tissue should be less than 5%. It is preferably 3% or less and 1% or less.
[0037]
"Retained Austenite and Determination of Area Ratio of Bainite and Tempered Martensite"
A sample is cut from an arbitrary position 50 mm or more away from the end face of the hot stamped body (a position that avoids the end if it cannot be sampled from this position) so that a cross section (thickness cross section) perpendicular to the surface can be observed. Although the size of the sample depends on the measuring device, it should be a size that allows observation of about 10 mm in the rolling direction.
[0038]
After polishing the cross section of the above sample using silicon carbide paper of #600 to #1500, a diamond powder with a particle size of 1 to 6 μm is dispersed in a dilute solution such as alcohol or pure water to finish it to a mirror surface. . Next, the sample is polished for 8 minutes with colloidal silica containing no alkaline solution at room temperature to remove strain introduced into the surface layer of the sample. At an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the sample cross section, electron backscattering at a measurement interval of 0.1 μm in a region of 50 μm in length, 1/8 of the plate thickness from the surface to 3/8 of the plate thickness from the surface Crystal orientation information is obtained by measurement using a diffraction method. For the measurement, an EBSD apparatus composed of a thermal field emission scanning electron microscope (JSM-7001F manufactured by JEOL) and an EBSD detector (DVC5 type detector manufactured by TSL) is used. At this time, the degree of vacuum in the EBSD apparatus is 9.6×10 −5 Pa or less, the acceleration voltage is 15 kV, the irradiation current level is 13, and the electron beam irradiation level is 62. The obtained crystal orientation information is used to calculate the area ratio of retained austenite using the "Phase Map" function installed in the software "OIM Analysis (registered trademark)" attached to the EBSD analysis device. A crystal structure of fcc is determined to be retained austenite.
[0039]
Next, those with a crystal structure of bcc are judged to be bainite, tempered martensite, fresh martensite, granular bainite and ferrite, and the software "OIM Analysis (registered trademark)" attached to the EBSD analysis device is analyzed for these regions. By using the "Grain Average Misorientation" function installed in the , areas with a Grain Average Image Quality value of less than 60000 are determined as bainite, tempered martensite, and fresh martensite, and the total area ratio of these is calculated. , to obtain the area ratio of the sum of "bainite, tempered martensite, and fresh martensite". "Bainite and tempered martensite" is obtained by subtracting the area ratio of fresh martensite obtained by the method described below from the total area ratio of "bainite, tempered martensite and fresh martensite" obtained by the above method. Get the total area ratio of
[0040]
"Measurement of area ratio of residual tissue"
A sample is cut from an arbitrary position 50 mm or more away from the end face of the hot stamped body (a position that avoids the end if it cannot be sampled from this position) so that a cross section (thickness cross section) perpendicular to the surface can be observed. Although the size of the sample depends on the measuring device, it should be a size that allows observation of about 10 mm in the rolling direction.
[0041]
After polishing the cross section of the above sample using #600 to #1500 silicon carbide paper, a mirror finish is achieved using a liquid in which diamond powder with a particle size of 1 to 6 μm is dispersed in a diluted solution such as alcohol or pure water. , Nital etching. Then, in an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the sample cross section, a thermal field emission scanning electron microscope ( Photographs of multiple fields of view are taken using JSM-7001F manufactured by JEOL. An equidistant grid is drawn on the photograph to identify the tissue at the grid points. The area ratio of each tissue is obtained by calculating the number of grid points corresponding to each tissue and dividing it by the total number of grid points. The larger the total number of grid points, the more accurately the area ratio can be calculated. In this embodiment, the grid spacing is 2 μm×2 μm, and the total number of grid points is 1,500.
[0042]
The area where cementite is precipitated in lamellar form inside the grain is judged to be pearlite. A region with low brightness and no substructure is judged to be ferrite. Regions with high brightness and in which the substructure is not revealed by etching are judged to be fresh martensite and retained austenite. A region that does not correspond to any of the above is determined to be granular bainite. The area ratio of fresh martensite is obtained by subtracting the area ratio of retained austenite obtained by the above EBSD analysis from the area ratio of fresh martensite and retained austenite obtained from the photograph.
[0043]
"Among the grain boundaries of bainite and tempered martensite, the length of the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 4° to 12° with the <011> direction as the rotation axis, and the grain with a rotation angle of 49° to 54° Grain boundaries with a rotation angle of 55° to 75° relative to the total length of the boundary and the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 55° to 75° (large tilt grain boundary)length ratio: 30% or more
The high-angle grain boundary is the grain boundary with the highest angle among the grain boundaries included in the grains of bainite and tempered martensite. The high-angle grain boundaries are highly effective in suppressing the propagation of cracks generated at the time of collision. If the proportion of the length of the high-angle grain boundaries is less than 30%, the hot-stamped compact cannot obtain the desired collision characteristics. Therefore, the ratio of the length of the high-angle grain boundaries is set to 30% or more. It is preferably 35% or more, 40% or more, or 45% or more. Although the upper limit of the ratio of the length of the high-angle grain boundaries is not specified, the substantial upper limit is 90% according to the chemical composition and the manufacturing method according to the present embodiment.
[0044]
"Method for measuring the length ratio of high-angle grain boundaries"
A sample is cut from a position 50 mm or more away from the end face of the hot stamped body (a position that avoids the end if it cannot be sampled from this position) so that a cross section (thickness cross section) perpendicular to the surface can be observed. The sample should have a length that allows observation of about 10 mm in the rolling direction, depending on the measuring device. For the cut sample, the depth position of 1/4 of the plate thickness (1/8 of the plate thickness from the surface to 3/8 of the plate thickness from the surface) is analyzed by EBSD at a measurement interval of 0.1 μm. to obtain crystal orientation information. Here, the EBSD analysis uses an EBSD device composed of a thermal field emission scanning electron microscope (JSM-7001F manufactured by JEOL) and an EBSD detector (DVC5 type detector manufactured by TSL), and an electron beam irradiation level of 62. implement.
[0045]
Next, for the obtained crystal orientation information, using the "Grain Average Image Quality" function installed in the software "OIM Analysis (registered trademark)" attached to the EBSD analysis device, the Grain Average Image Quality value is 60000 Areas below are determined to be bainite, tempered martensite, and fresh martensite crystal grains, and among the grain boundaries of these crystal grains, the grain boundaries of the bainite and tempered martensite crystal grains are oriented in the <011> direction. The length of the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 4° to 12° as the rotation axis, the length of the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 49° to 54°, and the length of the grain boundary with a rotation angle of 55° to 75°. is calculated, and the ratio of the length of the grain boundary at which the rotation angle is 55° to 75° is calculated with respect to the total value of the length of each grain boundary. As a result, the length of the grain boundary at which the rotation angle is 4° to 12° with the <011> direction as the rotation axis of the bainite and tempered martensite crystal grains, and the grain boundary at which the rotation angle is 49° to 54° Grain boundaries with a rotation angle of 55 ° to 75 ° (high angle grain boundaries) with respect to the total length of the length and the length of the grain boundaries with a rotation angle of 55 ° to 75 ° (high angle grain boundaries) Get the length ratio of .
[0046]
In addition, photographs were taken by the same method as the method for measuring the area ratio of the residual structure, and fresh martensite was discriminated from the crystal grains of bainite, tempered martensite, and fresh martensite, and bainite, tempered martensite, and Fresh martensite should be excluded from fresh martensite crystal grains. The reason why the grain boundaries of the crystal grains of fresh martensite are not included in the measurement of the high-angle grain boundaries is that fresh martensite has a high hardness and becomes a starting point of fracture.
[0047]
The above grain boundary length can be easily calculated using, for example, the "Inverse Pole Figure Map" and "Axis Angle" functions installed in the software "OIM Analysis (registered trademark)" attached to the EBSD analysis device. It is possible to With these functions, the total length of the grain boundaries can be calculated by specifying a specific rotation angle with an arbitrary direction as the axis of rotation for bainite and tempered martensite grains. The above analysis was carried out for all crystal grains contained in the measurement area, and the lengths of the three types of grain boundaries described above were measured with the <011> direction of the grain boundaries of the bainite and tempered martensite grains as the rotation axis. Just calculate.
[0048]

Further, from the viewpoint of weight reduction of the vehicle body, the tensile strength of the hot stamped body is set to 1500 MPa or more. Preferably, it is 1800 MPa or more and 2000 MPa or more. Although the upper limit of the tensile strength is not particularly defined, it may be 2600 MPa or less and 2550 MPa or less.
[0049]
"Plating layer"
A plating layer may be formed on the surface of the hot stamped body according to the present embodiment for the purpose of improving corrosion resistance. The plating layer may be either an electroplating layer or a hot dipping layer. The electroplated layer includes, for example, an electrogalvanized layer, an electroplated Zn—Ni alloy layer, and the like. The hot-dip plating layer is, for example, a hot-dip galvanized layer, an alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer, a hot-dip aluminum plating layer, a hot-dip Zn--Al alloy plating layer, a hot-dip Zn--Al--Mg alloy-plating layer, or a hot-dip Zn--Al--Mg--Si. Including alloy plating layer, etc. The coating amount of the plating layer is not particularly limited, and a general coating amount may be used.
[0050]
"Manufacturing method for hot stamped molding"
Next, a preferred method for manufacturing the hot stamped body according to this embodiment will be described.
The hot-stamped product according to the present embodiment is obtained by hot-stamping a cold-rolled steel sheet produced by a conventional method or a cold-rolled steel sheet having a plating layer on the surface, and heating in a predetermined temperature range after hot-stamping. It can be produced by cooling after holding the pressure.
[0051]
"Heating and Holding Before Hot Stamping"
It is preferable to hold the temperature in the range of 800 to 1000°C for 60 to 600 seconds before hot stamping. If the heating temperature is less than 800° C. or the holding time is less than 60 seconds, sufficient austenitization cannot be achieved, and the desired amount of bainite and tempered martensite may not be obtained in the hot stamped compact. If the heating temperature exceeds 1000° C. or the holding time exceeds 600 seconds, the transformation to bainite and tempered martensite is delayed due to coarsening of the austenite grain size, and the desired amount of bainite and tempered martensite cannot be obtained. Sometimes.
[0052]
The average heating rate during heating should be 0.1°C/s or more and 200°C/s or less. The average heating rate referred to here is a value obtained by dividing the temperature difference between the steel sheet surface temperature at the start of heating and the holding temperature by the time difference from the start of heating until reaching the holding temperature. Further, in the holding described above, the steel sheet temperature may be varied within the temperature range of 800 to 1000° C., or may be kept constant.
[0053]
Heating methods before hot stamping include heating with an electric furnace or gas furnace, flame heating, electric heating, high-frequency heating, induction heating, and the like.
[0054]
"Cooling after hot stamping"
After the above heating and holding, hot stamping is performed. After hot stamping, it is preferable to cool down to a temperature range of 200 to 400° C. at an average cooling rate of 1.0 to 100° C./s. In the cooling after hot stamping, if the cooling stop temperature is less than 200°C, the stabilization of retained austenite may not be promoted and the desired amount of retained austenite may not be obtained. If the cooling stop temperature is higher than 400° C., the hardness of the prior austenite grains becomes low, and a desired amount of large tilt grain boundaries may not be formed. Also, if the average cooling rate is less than 1.0° C./s, the transformation to ferrite, granular bainite, and pearlite is accelerated, and the desired amounts of bainite and tempered martensite may not be obtained. When the average cooling rate is more than 100 ° C./s, the driving force for the transformation to tempered martensite and bainite is large, the effect of relaxing the strain introduced by the transformation is small, and the desired amount of large-angle grain boundaries becomes difficult to obtain.
[0055]
The average cooling rate here is a value obtained by dividing the temperature difference between the steel plate surface temperature at the start of cooling and the cooling stop temperature by the time difference from the start of cooling to the stop of cooling.
[0056]
"Pressure hold"
In a temperature range of 200 to 400°C, pressurization and holding is performed for a holding time of 30 to 3600 seconds at a surface pressure P (MPa) that satisfies formula (1).
If the holding time is less than 30 seconds, carbon will not be sufficiently distributed from martensite to untransformed austenite, and the desired amount of retained austenite may not be obtained. If the holding time exceeds 3600 seconds, softening of the bainite or tempered martensite progresses and the desired strength may not be obtained. If the surface pressure P is less than the left side of the following formula (1), the deformation of the prior austenite grains may not be sufficiently suppressed, and the proportion of high-angle grain boundaries may decrease.
[0057]
Although the upper limit of the surface pressure P is not particularly limited, 300 MPa is the substantial upper limit in order not to damage the equipment in the material of the strength class of this embodiment. In pressure holding, the temperature of the steel sheet may be varied within a temperature range of 200 to 400° C., or may be kept constant.
[0058]
Pressurization and holding can be carried out by conveying the formed steel sheet from the hot stamping and cooling die after hot stamping to another die with a heating function.
[0059]
Note that if the material is heated to a temperature range of 400° C. or higher after hot stamping and cooling, and before pressurization and holding, bainite is generated, and as a result, it becomes impossible to obtain the desired amount of large-angle grain boundaries. . Therefore, when manufacturing the hot-stamped article according to the present embodiment, it is not desirable to heat the article to a temperature range of 400° C. or higher after hot-stamping and cooling and before pressurization and holding.

It should be noted that the element symbol in the above formula (2) indicates the content in mass% of each element, and 0 is substituted when the element is not contained.
[0061]
"Cooling after holding pressurized"
After holding under pressure, it is preferable to cool to 80°C or less at an average cooling rate of 1.0 to 100°C/s. If the average cooling rate is less than 1.0°C/s, the retained austenite may decompose. If the average cooling rate exceeds 100°C/s, the equipment will be overloaded. Retained austenite decomposes. The average cooling rate referred to here is a value obtained by dividing the temperature difference between the steel sheet surface temperature at the start of cooling after pressure holding and the cooling stop temperature by the time difference from the start of cooling to the end of cooling.

The underline in the table indicates that it is outside the scope of the present invention, that it is outside the preferred manufacturing conditions, or that the characteristic value is unfavorable. γr in Tables 3 and 4 indicates retained austenite, B indicates bainite, and TM indicates tempered martensite.
[0067]Regarding the microstructure of the hot-stamped product, the measurement of the area ratio of each structure and the measurement of the length ratio of the high-angle grain boundaries were performed by the above-described measurement method. Moreover, the mechanical properties of the hot-stamped product were evaluated by the following methods.
[0068]
"Tensile strength"
The tensile strength of the hot-stamped product was obtained by preparing a No. 5 test piece described in JIS Z 2241:2011 from an arbitrary position on the hot-stamped product and determining it according to the test method described in JIS Z 2241:2011. The crosshead speed was set to 3 mm/min. When the tensile strength was 1500 MPa or more, it was determined to be acceptable, and when it was less than 1500 MPa, it was determined to be unacceptable.
[0069]
"Collision characteristics (uniform deformability and crack propagation suppression effect)"
The collision characteristics of the hot stamped product were evaluated by the following method based on the VDA standard (VDA238-100) specified by the German Automobile Manufacturers Association.
In this embodiment, from the FS curve (load-bending angle diagram) as shown in FIG. 1 obtained in the bending test, the absorbed energy S1 as an index of uniform deformability and S2 as an index of crack propagation suppression effect asked. S1 was calculated as the integrated value (absorbed energy S1) of these small areas by calculating the amount of increase in load per unit bending angle from the start of the test until reaching the maximum load according to the slope of the FS curve. S2 calculates the amount of load change per unit bending angle from reaching the maximum load until it drops to 1/2 of the maximum load according to the slope of the FS curve, and calculates the integral value (absorption calculated as energy S2).
[0070]
In this example, when S1 is 100 (° · kN) or more, it is judged to be excellent in uniform deformability and is judged to be acceptable. In Tables 3 and 4, "Good" is indicated for the case of , and "Very Good" is indicated for the case of 180 (°·kN) or more. If it was less than 100 (°·kN), it was judged to be inferior in uniform deformability and was judged to be unacceptable, and was described as "Bad" in Tables 3 and 4.
[0071]
If the value obtained by dividing S2 by the sum of S1 and S2 (S2 / (S1 + S2)) is 0.01 or more, it is judged to be excellent in crack propagation suppression characteristics, and if it is 0.01 or more, it is "Fair", 0 In Tables 3 and 4, a case of 0.02 or more is described as "Good", and a case of 0.07 or more is described as "Very Good". If it is less than 0.01, the crack propagation property is judged to be poor, and is indicated as "Bad" in Tables 3 and 4.
[0072]
The bending test conditions were as follows.
　Specimen size: 60 mm (rolling direction) x 30 mm (direction parallel to sheet width direction)
Thickness of test piece: 1.01 to 1.05 mm (front and back surfaces are ground by the same amount)
