Specification

Technical field
[0001]
The present invention has excellent formability, i.e. excellent and the uniform elongation was a good weldability, involved in steel sheet having a high strength.
BACKGROUND
[0002]
Of bodies and parts of automobiles, in order to achieve both the weight reduction and safety, high strength of a steel sheet is these materials are underway. In general, when high strength steel sheet, reduced and uniform elongation and hole expansion formability of the steel sheet is impaired. Therefore, in order to use high strength steel plate as a member for an automobile, it is necessary to increase both the strength and formability are conflicting properties.
[0003]
 To improve the uniform elongation, so far, using the transformation induced plasticity of retained austenite (residual gamma), the so-called TRIP steel sheet has been proposed (e.g., see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
[0004]
 Retained austenite, by concentrating the C and Mn, etc. in the austenite, the austenite is obtained by preventing transformed into other tissues even at room temperature. As a technique for stabilizing the austenite, contain a carbide precipitation suppression elements such as Si and Al in the steel, it is proposed to enrich C in austenite during bainite transformation caused steel at the manufacturing stage of the steel sheet there.
[0005]
 In this technique, the more the C content to be contained in the steel sheet austenite further stabilized, it is possible to increase the amount of retained austenite, as a result, it is possible to produce steel sheet excellent both strength and uniform elongation. However, if the steel sheet is used for the structural member, it is often welded to the steel plate is performed, since the weldability is large C content in the steel sheet is deteriorated, such a limitation to the use as a structural member. Therefore, a smaller C content, it is desirable to increase both the uniform elongation and strength.
[0006]
 In order to enhance the hole expansion of the TRIP steel sheet, the steel of bainite as the main structure has been proposed (e.g., Patent Document 3). However, when the low ductility of bainite as the main structure, it ductility of the steel sheet is low, it is difficult fabrication of automotive parts of complex shapes.
[0007]
 On the other hand, the residual austenite amount is large than the TRIP steel, as steel sheet ductility than the TRIP steel, the steel with the addition of 3.0% of Mn has been proposed (for example, Non-Patent Document 1). However, in this type of steel, less example tried to apply to the member for a motor vehicle has not been sufficiently studied the improvement of hole expansion. Including 3.0% of Mn, and the steel sheet having improved hole expansion, etc. it has not yet been developed.
[0008]
 Patent Document 4, a high strength steel sheet mechanical properties were improved by annealing before the cold rolling is performed is disclosed. However, the steel sheet described in Patent Document 4 is excellent DP steel r value, not a steel sheet excellent in strength and ductility. In particular, Patent Document 4, the winding process when the steel sheet ferrite after hot rolling - the pearlite and ferrite to precipitate cementite, a technique to coarsening and spheroidization of cementite is disclosed before cold rolling there. Such steel sheet having a tissue is not capable of having both tensile strength required for the steel sheets for automobiles, ductility, and hole expansion.

[0017]
 The present inventors have results of extensive studies, the 1 / 4t part of the steel sheet, the average Mn concentration [Mn] in the unit mass% in residual austenite γ average Mn in the unit% by weight of the total of 1 / 4t part concentration [Mn] ave satisfies the following equation (1) with respect to, and an aspect ratio of 2.0 or less residual volume fraction f of the austenite γs and volume fraction f of the total residual austenite γ and satisfies the following formulas (formula 2 ) if it meets the at low C content, found that an excellent high strength steel sheet uniform elongation and hole expansion can be produced. Note that the 1 / 4t part of the steel plate, an area of about 1/4 of the depth of the thickness t of the steel sheet from the rolled surface of the steel sheet. The 1 / 4t part of the steel plate, may be defined as the area between the depth of the surface of the depth of the surface and the 3 / 8t of 1 / 8t from the rolled surface of the steel sheet.
 [Mn] gamma / [Mn] ave > 1.5 · · · (Equation
 1) f gamma] s / f gamma ≦ 0.30 · · · (Equation 2)
[0018]
 Hereinafter, "mean in units mass% Mn concentration" simply referred to as "average Mn concentration", [Mn] gamma / [Mn] ave is sometimes referred to as "Mn thickening degree" a. The feature of the metallographic structure of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment, all, 1 / 4t part of the steel sheet (i.e., a region of 1/4 of the depth of the thickness t of the steel sheet from the rolled surface of the steel sheet are described below which is characteristic of the metal structure in). The rolling surface of the steel plate, 1 / 4t part of the steel sheet present between the central plane in the thickness direction of the steel sheet is believed to have an average metal structure. Thus, in the technical field of the steel plate, the 1 / 4t part of the steel plate, it is usual to be controlled metal structure. If the metal structure of 1 / 4t of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment is controlled as described below, the metal structure of the region other than 1 / 4t of the steel sheet is also preferably controlled, this embodiment tensile strength of the steel sheet according to the uniform elongation, and hole expansion exceeds the target value. Therefore, the structure of 1 / 4t part other than the area of the metal structure of the steel sheet, as long as structure of the metal structure of 1 / 4t part of the steel sheet is within a predetermined range described in the present embodiment is not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the description regarding the configuration of steel sheet metal structure, to a metal structure of 1 / 4t part of the steel plate.
[0019]
 Hereinafter, the aspect ratio of Mn enriched degree and residual austenite explains why defined as above.
[0020]
([Mn] gamma / [Mn] ave >
 1.5) in the TRIP steel, in the process of annealing, by the ferrite transformation and / or bainite transformation increases the C concentration in the austenite stable at room temperature austenite so that it exists manner. As a simple method for obtaining a steel sheet having higher strength and high uniform elongation, it means for increasing the amount of retained austenite by increasing the C content is known. However, increasing the C content, the deterioration of the weldability of the steel sheet, the steel sheet used for welded structural members and the like required, that approach can not be used.
[0021]
 The present inventors have examined the method for producing a steel sheet capable of increasing the uniform elongation without increasing the C content. As a result, the hot rolling conditions, after hot rolling, by suitably controlling the conditions of the heat treatment prior to cold rolling, increases the Mn concentration in the retained austenite, and to be satisfied (Equation 1) If, while maintaining the strength and C content, it was found to be to improve the uniform elongation.
[0022]
 Although the detailed reason for the above phenomenon occurs is not clear, the present inventors have by thickening the Mn is an austenite stabilizing element in the austenite, it is possible to secure a larger amount of residual austenite, uniform it is believed that growth has risen.
[0023]
 If Mn thickening degree is 1.5 or less, uniform elongation is deteriorated, not obtained mechanical properties required. Here, Mn thickening of the resulting steel sheets under normal production conditions is estimated that on the order of 1.2-1.4. Preferred lower limit of the Mn enrichment degree is 1.52,1.54 or 1.56.

[0025]
(F gamma] s / f gamma ≦ 0.30)
 Further, the present inventors have found that an aspect ratio of 2.0 or less residual volume fraction f of austenite gamma] s and volume fraction f of the total residual austenite gamma and the above-mentioned (Formula 2 ) When so doing meets the hole expanding ratio was found to increase. With equivalent strength, when compared with the steel sheets not satisfying the steel sheet satisfies the formula 2, towards the steel sheet satisfies Equation 2 was high hole expanding ratio.
[0026]
 Aspect ratio volume fraction f of 2.0 or less of residual austenite γs lowering the reason for hole expansion property is improved is not clear. The present inventors have found that an aspect ratio of 2.0 or less of residual austenite is present in the boundary or the like of the prior austenite boundary and packet, and since the majority having a particle size greater than 1.0 .mu.m, hole expansion processing aspect ratio of 2.0 or less easily stress concentration residual austenite, to assume that because easily broken upon. Therefore, f gamma] s / f gamma a is required to be 0.30 or less. f gamma] s / f gamma is more preferably 0.25 or less, further preferably 0.20 or less.
[0027]
 F in 1 / 4t part gamma] s / f gamma calculation method of the are as follows. First, the aspect ratio of 1 / 4t part of 2.0 or less of residual austenite fraction f gamma] s is determined by EBSP analysis of 1 / 4t part. In this EBSP analysis, and separating the fcc phase and bcc phases regards part fcc phase has become massive one of the residual austenite grains, aspect ratio, the longest width and shortest width of the particle the ratio. Total amount of retained austenite f in 1 / 4t part γ is determined by measurement using the X-ray diffraction at 1 / 4t part.
[0028]
 Next, a description will be given component of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment. Incidentally,% content in the following description means mass%.

Also, Si and Al are elements to stabilize ferrite during annealing of a steel sheet, and to increase the C concentration of the austenite by suppressing the cementite precipitation during bainitic transformation, an element which contributes to the securing of residual austenite. Also, Si and Al enhances the hole expansion of the steel sheet. The reason is not clear, and by tempered martensite or ferrite matrix becomes hard and the hardness difference between the martensite and tempered martensite or ferrite transformed from austenite during processing is reduced Presumed.
 Its effect increases the content of Si and Al is high increases, but when excessive content of Si and Al, surface properties, paintability, and so leads to deterioration such as weldability, the upper limit of Si 5.00% follows and, the upper limit of Al is less 5.000%. Further, if the inclusion of Al in an amount exceeding 5.000% delta ferrite remains even at room temperature. The ferrite becomes ferrite stretched during hot rolling, the steel sheet tends to break because tensile stress concentrated at the ferrite in a test or press molding. Preferred lower limit of the Si content is 0.40% 0.90%, or 1.20%. Preferred upper limit of the Si content is 4.00%, 3.50%, or 3.00%.

Therefore, the upper limit of the S content to less 0.0300%. Preferred upper limit of the S content is 0.0100%, 0.0070%, or 0.0040%. Since the steel sheet according to the present embodiment does not require the S, the lower limit of the S content is 0%. The lower limit of the S content to 0%, or greater than may be 0.0001% but, S content is preferably as much as possible reduced.
[0034]
(N: 0.0100% or less)

Preferred upper limit of the N content is 0.0080%, 0.0060%, or 0.0050%. Since the steel sheet according to the present embodiment does not require N, the lower limit of the N content is 0%. The lower limit of the N content greater than 0%, or even may but as 0.0003%, N content is preferably as much as possible reduced.
[0035]
(O: 0.0100% or less)
 O is an impurity, leading to ductility degradation exceeds 0.0100%. Therefore, the upper limit of the O content is set to 0.0100% or less. Preferred upper limit of the O content is 0.0060%, 0.0040%, or 0.0020%. Since the steel sheet according to the present embodiment does not require the O, the lower limit of the O content is 0%. O content of the lower limit greater than 0%, or may be 0.0001% but, O content is preferably as much as possible reduced.

Further, residual austenite, since transformed into martensite by the processing, which contributes to improving the strength of the steel sheet. In order to obtain these effects, 1 / 4t of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment, it should contain at least 4% of retained austenite in volume fraction. Preferably, the lower limit of the volume fraction of residual austenite is 5%, 7%, 9%, or 12%. Incidentally, as described above, the configuration of the metal structure of the region other than 1 / 4t of the steel sheet, as long as structure of the metal structure of 1 / 4t part of the steel sheet is within a predetermined range described in the present embodiment, in particular but it is not limited. The volume fraction of retained austenite in the region other than the 1 / 4t part of the steel sheet is not limited. In the present embodiment, unless otherwise specified, the description of the content of such residual austenite shows the content of residual austenite, etc. metal structure of 1 / 4t part of the steel plate.
[0048]
 The volume fraction of retained austenite is preferably as high as possible. However, the steel sheet having the above chemical components, it is difficult to contain residual austenite 70% by volume. The retained austenite to 70 volume percent, it is necessary to include C 0.40 percent, in this case, the weldability of the steel sheet is impaired. Therefore, the upper limit of the volume fraction of residual austenite is 70% or less.
[0049]
 Unless the amount of residual austenite above is within the prescribed range, the balance of the metal structure of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment is not particularly limited, may be suitably selected depending on the properties required. Tissue that may be included in the remainder of the metal structure, ferrite, fresh martensite, bainite, and the like tempered martensite may include tissue and inclusions than these. Ferrite, fresh martensite, bainite, and upper and lower limits of the tempered martensite is not particularly limited, describing these preferred upper and lower limits as follows.
[0050]
 Ferrite is an organization to improve the ductility of the steel plate. The ferrite content may be 0% by area, but within the range of intensity levels of interest, in order to maintain preferably both the strength and ductility, the area ratio of ferrite is preferably 10 to 75%. A further preferred lower limit of the content of ferrite is 15 area%, 20 area%, or 25% by area. A further preferred upper limit of the content of ferrite is 50 area%, 65 area%, or 70% by area.
[0051]
 Metal structure of the steel sheet according to this embodiment, fresh martensite (i.e., martensite is not tempered) may contain. Fresh martensite is a hard organization, is effective in ensuring the strength of the steel sheet. However, when the content of the fresh martensite is small, ductility of the steel sheet is increased. Therefore, the content of fresh martensite may be 0% by area. The steel sheet according to the present embodiment, in order to secure the ductility may be 25% area ratio of the upper limit of the amount of the fresh martensite. Preferred lower limit of the content of the fresh martensite 0.5 area%, 1 area%, or 2% by area. Preferred upper limit of the content of fresh martensite 20 area%, 15 area%, or 12% by area.
[0052]
 Metal structure of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment may include a tempered martensite obtained by tempering the fresh martensite formed after final annealing. The content of tempered martensite may be 0 area%, tempered martensite is a structure to improve both the strength of the steel sheet and hole expansion. The content of tempered martensite, can be appropriately selected depending on the intensity level of interest, when the upper limit of the content of tempered martensite was 25%, it can be preferably ensured ductility of the steel sheet. A further preferred lower limit of the content of the tempered martensite is 3 area%, 5 area%, or 7 is area%. A further preferred upper limit of the content of the tempered martensite is 22 area%, 20 area%, or 18 is area%.
[0053]
 Metal structure of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment may include bainite. During bainite transformation, C is concentrated in the austenite, the austenite is stabilized. That is, by performing the heat treatment to include the bainite steel sheet finally obtained, the residual austenite is stabilized. Further, bainite is also a tissue can be improved both strength and hole expansion of the steel sheet. Content of bainite may be 0 area%, but in order to obtain these effects, it is preferable to contain 5% or more by area of ​​bainite. The steel sheet according to the present embodiment, because it contains at least 0.5% of Mn, it is difficult to bainite to 50 area%. Therefore, the upper limit of the content of bainite may be 50% by area. A further preferred lower limit of the content of the bainite 7 area%, 8 area%, or 10% by area. A further preferred upper limit of the content of the bainite 45 area%, 42 area%, or 40% by area.
[0054]
 Metal structure of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment may include perlite. Pearlite during cooling during annealing, and sometimes transforms from austenite alloying moderate. The upper limit of the amount of the pearlite is preferably 10% by area. If the upper limit of the pearlite content is 10 area%, prevents residual austenite amount is 4 area% or less, it is possible to secure the strength and ductility. A further preferred upper limit of the content of perlite 3 area%, 2 area%, or 1% by area. Further, since the content of perlite lower is better, the lower limit of the content of the perlite is 0 area%.
[0055]
 Incidentally, if either or both of ferrite and tempered martensite are included in the steel sheet, it is preferable that the average crystal grain size of the ferrite and tempered martensite 10μm or less. In this case, the steel sheet because tissue becomes finer to high strength. Furthermore, since the tissue is uniform, work strain becomes to be uniformly introduced into the steel sheet, thereby improving the uniform elongation of the steel sheet. The average grain size of ferrite and tempered martensite is more preferably 7μm or less, still more preferably 5μm or less.
[0056]
 The following shows the method of identifying the tissue. Incidentally, the identification method described below is performed at 1 / 4t of all steel.
 Ferrite observations, using the cut surface of the polishing and Nital corroded samples, carried out by light microscopy. In a typical optical microscope image, since ferrite appear white, and the fraction of ferrite by measuring the area ratio of the white portion. Measurement of area ratio, performs structure photographs with image analysis.
 The volume fraction of retained austenite is determined by X-ray diffraction method. The volume ratio obtained by this means can be considered to area ratio to be approximately the same.
 Observation of fresh martensite, with a cutting surface of the polishing and Repera corroded samples, carried out by light microscopy.
 Perlite, abrasive and nital and observed the cross section of the corroded samples SEM, and area ratio of pearlite by measuring the area ratio of the region composed of lamellar structure.
[0057]
 Bainite, and tempered martensite, with SEM, the cut surface of the suitably prepared sample can be determined by observing at magnification of 5000 times. Ferrite, martensite, residual austenite, a tissue other than pearlite regards tissue cementite therein are precipitated in one direction and bainite, tissue cementite are precipitated along two or more directions it can be considered the the tempered martensite.
 On the other hand, possible in order to omit the determination operations described above, according to the method for producing a tempered martensite, bainite, and also appropriately selecting the method for identifying a tempered martensite.
 An example of a technique to produce tempered martensite steel sheet according to the present embodiment, and that the temperature of the steel sheet before austempering process described later to a temperature of Ms ~ Mf point. Another example of a method to produce steel tempered martensite in the present embodiment, it is exemplified to perform tempering on the steel sheet after annealing completion. When not performing such a tempering process is absent tempered martensite.
[0058]
 If the tempered martensite is not present, ferrite, martensite, residual austenite, the area ratio of the tissues other than the pearlite, can be regarded as bainite area ratio.
 If to produce a tempered martensite performing tempering after annealing completed, measuring the amount of martensite tempering pretreatment of steel sheet, the amount of martensite, the amount of tempered martensite obtained after tempering it can be considered.
 When producing tempered martensite temperature of the steel sheet before austempering treatment to a temperature of Ms ~ Mf point may estimate the amount of tempered martensite based on a change amount of the volume expansion of the steel sheet. When austenite is transformed into martensite or bainite, because the volume is increased. The increase in volume of the temperature Ms ~ steel within 0.1 seconds of the temperature of the Mf of the steel sheet is regarded as the amount of tempered martensite, the amount of increase in the subsequent volume can be regarded as the amount of bainite .
[0059]
 Next, a description will be given mechanical properties of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
 Tensile strength of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment is preferably at least 440 MPa. This when using steel as an automotive material, reducing the thickness by a high strength, in order to contribute to weight reduction. Further, in order to provide a steel sheet according to the present embodiment for press molding, the uniform elongation (UEL) and hole expansion (lambda) and it is desired that excellent. Product "TS × UEL" between tensile strength and uniform elongation is at 20000 MPa ·% or more, the product "TS × lambda" between tensile strength and hole expansion it is desirable that the 20000 MPa ·% or more. By the structure of the metal structure of the component and 1 / 4t part in the range described above, such mechanical properties.
[0060]
 Incidentally, the steel sheet according to the present embodiment may be a galvanized steel sheet having a galvanized layer provided on the surface thereof, galvannealed with galvannealed layer provided on the surface thereof it may be a plated steel sheet. Galvanized layer or a galvannealed layer has a dramatically enhancing effect and corrosion resistance and appearance of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment. On the other hand, galvanized layer or galvannealed layer does not impair the mechanical properties of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
[0061]
 Next, a method for manufacturing a steel sheet according to the present embodiment.
 Steel sheet according to the present embodiment, melting the ingredients of the steel, such as in a conventional manner, the casting to create a slab or steel ingot, by heating the hot-rolled, obtained hot rolled steel sheet after the pickling, after first annealing, producing subjected to further second annealing. Between the first annealing and the second annealing may be performed cold rolling as needed.
[0062]
 Hot rolling may be performed in a conventional continuous hot rolling line. It said first annealing and the second annealing, satisfies the below conditions, may be performed in either annealing furnace and a continuous annealing line. Further, the steel sheet after cold rolling rolling may be performed skin pass rolling.
[0063]
 Cooling conditions after hot rolling, winding condition, annealing conditions of the first annealing, by limiting the cold rolling reduction ratio, and a second annealing the annealing conditions within the range shown below, respectively, formulas 1 and it is possible to obtain a metal structure that satisfies the provisions.
[0064]
 Unless the chemical component is in the range of steel sheet according to the present embodiment described above, the molten steel may be those which are melted in conventional blast furnace process, as steel created in the electric furnace method, raw materials There may be those containing scrap in large quantities. Slab, it may be one produced by conventional continuous casting process, or may be those produced by thin slab casting.
[0065]
 Heating the slab or ingot of the above, performing the hot rolling. The heating temperature and hot rolling temperature at that time not specified.
[0066]
 The hot-rolled steel sheet obtained by performing finish rolling is cooled, winding, and coil. Suppression of pearlite transformation, and for refinement of the crystal grain size, it cooling rate after hot rolling to coiling start is large are preferred. Therefore, after hot rolling, and the average cooling rate of the temperature range from 800 ° C. to a coiling temperature 10 ° C. / s or higher. Furthermore, in order to refine the grain size after hot rolling, is preferably 30 ° C. / s or higher average cooling rate of temperature ranging from 800 ° C. to coiling temperature. After hot rolling, the upper limit of the average cooling rate temperature range from 800 ° C. to coiling temperature is preferably 100 ° C. / s or less in order to accurately control the coiling temperature. Incidentally, the "average cooling rate of the temperature range from 800 ° C. to a coiling temperature", 800 ° C. and the difference between the coiling temperature, elapsed time steel took to be cooled from 800 ° C. to a coiling temperature is a value obtained by dividing the. The average cooling rate in the temperature range when finish rolling of hot rolling is completed at below 800 ° C., the average cooling rate of the temperature range from finish rolling immediately after the temperature to the coiling temperature, from 800 ° C. to a coiling temperature instead, it may be controlled.
[0067]
 The coiling temperature after cooling to 600 ° C. or less. When the coiling temperature exceeds 600 ° C., hot rolled tissue ferrite - becomes uneven tissue by coarsening of pearlite, coarse cementite occurs on subsequent first annealing. This coarse cementite, or become retained austenite after the second annealing coarse, remains cementite after the second annealing, there is a case where the amount of retained austenite or reduced. In either case, the mechanical properties of the steel sheet is degraded. Coiling temperature, more preferably 550 ° C. or less, more preferably 500 ° C. or less.
[0068]
 Hot-rolled steel sheets obtained in this manner is annealed after being cooled to room temperature.
 The hot annealing after rolling (first annealing) is an important process in the manufacturing method of the steel sheet according to the present embodiment. In the final structure, said to satisfy (Equation 1) uses the annealing, it is necessary to enrich Mn in residual austenite. Annealing performed after cold rolling (second annealing) only it is impossible to satisfy (Equation 1).
[0069]
 In the first annealing, heating the hot-rolled steel sheet, held for 30 minutes or more to the temperature range of 550 ~ 750 ° C., and cooled to below the Ms point. By performing the annealing steel sheet that satisfies both of (Equation 1) and (2) is obtained.
 If the first annealing temperature is a temperature range below 550 ° C., the residual austenite in the structure of the finally obtained steel sheet does not satisfy the equation (2). The cause is unknown, if the first annealing temperature is less than 550 ° C., coarse cementite during the first annealing occurs prior austenite grain boundaries and packet boundaries, the coarse cementite second aspect ratio when the annealing is estimated to be because changes in 2.0 following coarse austenite.
 On the other hand, when the first annealing temperature exceeds 750 ° C., the martensite is increased at the end of the first annealing, is not satisfied (Equation 1). The cause is unknown, the not satisfy the equation (1), the structure of the steel sheet during the first annealing becomes substantially the austenite single phase, it is estimated that segregation of Mn is because not occur. Therefore, the upper limit of the first annealing temperature of 750 ° C..
[0070]
 Also, when heating the steel sheet to a first annealing temperature, it is necessary to make the average heating rate in the temperature range of 300 ~ 550 ° C. and 1 ° C. / s or higher. If not satisfied this condition, the metal structure of the steel sheet can not satisfy the equation (2), hole expansion property deteriorates. The reason is not clear, in the case of less than 1 ° C. / s, during heating, cementite is precipitated in the austenite grain boundaries and packet boundaries, the cementite, the aspect ratio of 2.0 or less austenite it is presumed to be because made. This limited the average heating rate is not only the first annealing, it is necessary to satisfy at the second annealing. The reason is the same as in the first annealing. Note that "average heating rate in the temperature range of 300 ~ 550 ° C." is the difference between the upper and lower limits of the temperature range (250 ° C.), the steel sheet temperature divided by the time required to pass through the temperature range is the value.
[0071]
 During annealing, there is no need to strictly isothermal hold temperature of the steel sheet. During the annealing, the temperature of the steel sheet for 30 minutes or more, sufficient if the temperature range of 550 ~ 750 ° C., the temperature of the steel sheet within this range may vary. When the time for holding the steel sheet temperature in the range of 550 ~ 750 ° C. is less than 30 minutes can not metal structure of the steel sheet satisfy the equation (1). This diffusion length of Mn by the lack of retention time is insufficient, sufficient Mn in austenite is estimated to be can not be concentrated.
[0072]
 Cold rolling is not essential for the production of steel sheet according to the present embodiment. However, thickness adjustment, may be subjected to cold-rolled steel sheet to adjust the shape. Cold rolling, the metal structure of the steel sheet after annealing finer and thereby an effect of improving the mechanical properties. However, if the reduction ratio of cold rolling is too large, the local ductility decreases.
[0073]
 After the first anneal, or any after cold rolling, the second annealing the steel sheet is subjected. In the method of manufacturing the steel sheet according to the present embodiment, the annealing temperature in the second annealing, a temperature at which coexist ferrite and austenite.
 When the annealing temperature of the second annealing is lower than 550 ° C. is austenite amount obtained in the second annealing is reduced, it is impossible to leave sufficient residual austenite in the finally obtained steel sheet. When the second annealing temperature exceeds 800 ° C., since Mn which was enriched in the austenite in the first annealing is diffused again, finally obtained steel sheet does not satisfy the equation (1). Further, with respect to steel 800 ° C. is an austenite single-phase region, when subjected to a second annealing at annealing temperatures above 800 ° C., it is impossible to obtain steel sheet of tissue according to the present embodiment.
[0074]
 Further, (holding time at 550 ℃ ~ 800 ℃) temperature holding time in the second annealing is 5 seconds or more. If the temperature holding time of the second annealing is less than 5 seconds, carbides are not dissolved completely, the amount of the finally obtained residual austenite is reduced, also, the case of performing the cold rolling also proceed recrystallization since no ductility of the finally obtained steel sheet deteriorates significantly. It is not necessary to define the upper limit of the temperature holding time of the second annealing, in consideration of productivity, it is preferable to set the upper and 1000 seconds.
[0075]
 Second cooling after annealing, encourage transformation from austenite phase to ferrite phase, it is important in order to stabilize the austenite by concentrating the C in the austenite phase of the untransformed. When the average cooling rate in the cooling after the second annealing below 1 ° C. / s, pearlite is generated, the amount of the finally obtained residual austenite is reduced. The steel sheet according to the present embodiment, since by concentrating the Mn in residual austenite is allowed to slow the average cooling rate in the cooling after the second annealing up to 1 ° C. / s. On the other hand, the average when the cooling rate is 200 ° C. / s greater is the cooling after the second annealing, because it is impossible to sufficiently proceed ferrite transformation, the upper limit of the average cooling rate in cooling after the second annealing it is preferable that the 200 ° C. / s. In the case of plated steel sheet, the average cooling rate is in the second cooling after annealing, the average cooling rate of the temperature range up to the cooling stop temperature to be described later from the second annealing temperature (i.e., a second annealing temperature and the difference between the cooling stop temperature is a second value divided by the time required to cool the steel sheet from the annealing temperature to the cooling stop temperature of). Otherwise plated steel sheet, the average cooling rate is in the second cooling after annealing, the average cooling rate of the temperature range from the second annealing temperature to 430 ° C. (i.e., the difference between the second annealing temperature and room temperature and a second value divided by the time taken to cool the steel sheet from the annealing temperature to room temperature).
[0076]
 Cooling after the second annealing, if not plated steel sheet, it is sufficient as it is carried out to room temperature. Also, when the plated steel sheet is manufactured as follows.
[0077]
 When producing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet, the cooling after the second annealing stops in the temperature range of 430 ~ 500 ° C., immersed in a molten zinc plated cold rolled steel sheet in a plating bath of molten zinc subsequent do. Conditions of the plating bath may be within the normal range. After the plating treatment may be cooled to room temperature.
[0078]
 In the production of galvannealed steel sheet, after galvanized steel sheet, before cooling the steel sheet to room temperature, performing an alloying treatment at a temperature of 450 ~ 600 ° C. in a steel sheet. Alloying treatment conditions may be within the normal range.
[0079]
 By the manufacturing method described above, in the steel sheet according to the present embodiment, Mn is because it is concentrated in the austenite, only cooled to the second annealing after it room temperature, it is possible to obtain a residual austenite that is stable at room temperature . Further, as the conventional TRIP steel listed in Patent Document 1 stops the cooling after the second annealing at room temperature or higher, no problem even when held at that temperature range.
[0080]
 By producing steel sheet as described above, it can be obtained steel sheet according to the present embodiment, galvanized steel sheet, and galvannealed steel sheet.
