Abstract:
This process for producing a steel sheet is a process for producing a high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or higher, and includes a continuous annealing step in which a steel sheet having a given chemical composition is heated to a temperature in the range of 750-900ºC and the steel sheet is held in the temperature range for 0-300 seconds, thereby conducting continuous annealing. In the continuous annealing step, the atmosphere inside the furnace is regulated so as to have a hydrogen concentration less than 10 vol%, during the period when the heating to a temperature in the range is conducted and during the period when the holding in the temperature range is conducted. When the steel sheet has a temperature of 700ºC or lower, the furnace-body average value of log(PH2O/PH2) is greater than -3.01 but less than -0.07. When the steel sheet has a temperature higher than 700ºC but not higher than 800ºC, the furnace-body average value of log(PH2O/PH2) is greater than -1.36 but less than -0.07. When the steel sheet has a temperature exceeding 800ºC, the furnace-body average value of log(PH2O/PH2) is greater than -3.01 but not greater than -0.53, and the dew point is lower than -10ºC.

BACKGROUND
[0002]
Recently, low fuel consumption and CO 2 for the purpose of vehicle weight reduction and crashworthiness improvement of aimed at reducing emissions, in the automotive field, there is a growing need to use a high strength steel sheet such as a vehicle body or parts. Recently, a tensile strength of 780MPa or more, or have been used high-strength steel sheet, such as more than 980 MPa.
However, when increasing the strength of the steel sheet, material properties such as generally moldability (processability) is deteriorated. On the other hand, these high strength steel plate is molded in large quantities and at low cost as with mild steel plate by press working, it is required to be provided as various members. Therefore, the high strength steel sheet of the above, along with high strength, high ductility, and good processability is also required.
[0003]
Here, the tensile strength high-strength steel sheet of more than 780 MPa, high ductility, and, in order to impart good workability, generally, the alloy elements such as Si and Mn have been made be added to the steel.
However, with respect to the steel sheet containing Si and Mn, when performing the annealing of maximum temperature 800 ~ 900 ° C. is oxidized and deposited and concentrated in the surface layer of the Si and Mn of the steel sheet, Si oxide on the surface and Si-Mn oxide there is a fear that exposed. Thus when the Si oxide or Si-Mn oxide is exposed on the surface of the steel sheet, and plating property deterioration during the plating process, problems such as decrease in chemical conversion treatability before painting occurs.

[0010]
However, the technique described in Patent Documents 1-7 described above has the following problems.
In other words, Patent Documents 1 to 3 have a direct flame heating section is characterized by controlling the air ratio of the direct fire burner. However, recently, as a continuous annealing apparatus for performing annealing with respect to steel sheets, those constituted by all indirect heating furnace without a direct flame heating unit is the mainstream. In a continuous annealing furnace which does not have such direct flame heating unit, as described in Patent Documents 1-3, a method of controlling the air ratio of the direct fire burners can not be applied. Further, as in Patent Documents 1 to 3, the method of oxidizing the steel sheet at direct flame burner before reduction, due to such a high temperature deterioration of the combustion gas calorific value variation of the burner equipment will not be able to secure a predetermined air ratio , the thicker the resulting oxide film as a result, the build-up (raised) to the hearth rolls in the furnace can not be prevented from is formed. Oxide film formed by the direct flame furnace, by adhering the peeling roll surface of a steel plate while the steel sheet is wound around the furnace rolls, so to generate a flaw press the steel sheet, which is not preferable.
Further, when controlling the atmosphere in the furnace under the conditions described in Patent Document 4, although the oxide of Si is exposed on the surface can be suppressed, since the dew point is required to be -10 ° C. or higher, decarburization proceeds of steel sheet, tensile strength and fatigue strength of the steel sheet there is a problem such as lowered. Particularly, in the high strength steel sheet containing a large amount of C, the strength reduction due to decarburization is a serious problem.
Further, the conditions described in Patent Documents 5 and 6, the degradation of the external variations and production facilities moisture content in the gas, wherein (1), wherein P in (3) H2 O / P H2 value and the dew point or the like there is also a problem that it is difficult to ensure the proper conditions.
In Patent Document 7, when producing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet using a horizontal reduction furnace, the hydrogen concentration in the atmospheric gas in the furnace to be 10% or more has been suggested. However, the hydrogen concentration in the atmospheric gas is 10% or more, because it requires special equipment, and requires a large capital investment on the application.
