Specification
FIELD OF INVENTION
The invention relates to a high strength hot rolled dual phase steel sheet with a
minimum tensile strength of 800 MPa. Particularly the invention relates to
method of manufacturing the hot rolled dual phase steel sheet.
BACKGROUND
Self-weight of trucks is increasing with increase in load capacity of trucks. There
is a need to increase in load capacity by weight reduction of the truck to reduce
the transportation cost and cost of the truck and hence reduce the air pollution.
The weight reduction of truck body can be decreased by using advanced high
strength steel sheet to body. Especially, the application to long members of truck
frame is important because of its high weight in overall weight of the body.
From the point of view of application of truck body, the most important
functional requirement is high strength with good amount of ductility. There is a
trend towards the use of hot rolled sheets of a minimum tensile strength of 800
MPa for long members of the truck body.
US20040118489A1 discloses a method in which a hot rolled dual phase steel
sheet is subjected to cooling and coiling above 450oC so as to achieve a yield
strength varying in the range of 500 to 900 MPa. However, coiling above 450oC
will lead to tempering of martensite and precipitation of carbides. This will results
in non-uniform properties in the coil as there will be a large variation in
temperature across the coil.
US2011146850 discloses a method of producing a hot rolled dual phase steel
sheet with a microstructure consisting of ferrite, martensite, bainite and austenite
and ferrite. Addition of carbide forming elements such as Nb, Ti, V are required
besides considerable amount of C and N to achieve a tensile strength 500 -1000
MPa. However, this steel will become expensive due to addition of carbide
forming elements and also close monitoring is required to control Nitrogen
content in the steel during steel making process.
JP10280096A discloses a method of producing a high-strength hot-rolled dual
phase steel sheet of tensile strength greater than 780 MPa through conventional
hot rolling processes. High rate of cooling, as much as 100°C/sec is required
during last of stage of cooling on RoT for the development of the product. This
targe cooling rate may not be feasible always In plant conditions and may lead to
non-uniform properties along the strip,
OBJECTIVES OF THE INVENTION
In view of the foregoing limitations inherent In the prior-art, it is an object of the
invention to develop a hot rollec dual phase (HRDP) steel, which comprises
uniform properties in the coil, considerably inexpensive.
Another object of the invention is the strength of the steel lies in the range of
800 -1126 MPa.
Still another object of the invention is that the close monitoring to be not
required to control Nitrogen content in the steel during steel making process.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In one aspect, the invention provides a process for making a hot rolled dual
phase (HRDP) steel comprising steps of: casting a steel with composition 0.06-
0.08 of carbon (C), 1.0-1.5 of manganese (Mn), 0.5-0.7 of silicon (Si), 0 - 0.32
chromium (Cr), 0.10 - 0.22 Molybdenum (Mo), maximum 0.005 of sulphur (S),
maximum 0.030 of phosphorus (P), maximum 0.005 of nitrogen (N), rest iron
(Fe) and incidental ingredients (all in wt. percentage); finish rolling the steel at
temperature T1, (A3 + 50°C) < T1 < (A3 + 70°C); air cooling the steel till it
attains temperature T2, (T1 - 15)°C
