Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0007]
 However, high carbon steel sheet described in Patent Document 1, the material tissue, hardness and high perlite also used, not necessarily excellent in workability. Patent Document 2, the specific morphology having excellent workability is not described.
[0008]
 In view of the state of the prior art, to improve the moldability and wear resistance, especially thick plates gear by molding, and a suitable steel to obtain components such as a clutch, a process for producing the same for the purpose.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0009]
 Wherein the foregoing problems, in order to obtain a steel sheet suitable for materials such as the drive system components, in a steel sheet containing the necessary C to increase the hardenability, increase the grain size of the ferrite, carbide (mainly cementite ) was spheronized in a suitable grain size, it can be understood that there may be fewer pearlite structure. This is due to the following reasons.
[0010]
 Ferrite phase has a low hardness, high ductility. Accordingly, ferrite mainly as tissue was, by increasing the grain size, it is possible to improve the material formability.
[0011]
 Carbides, by properly dispersed in the metallic structure, while maintaining the material formability, since it is possible to impart excellent wear resistance and rolling fatigue characteristics, must be in the drive system components tissue it is. Also, the carbide in the steel sheet is a strong particles that prevent slipping, the presence of the carbides in the ferrite grain boundaries, to prevent the propagation of slip exceeding a crystal grain boundary, to suppress the formation of shear bands can, to improve the cold forgeability, at the same time, the moldability of the steel sheet improved.
[0012]
 However, cementite is hard and brittle structure, when present in pearlite state a layered structure of ferrite, steel hard, so becomes brittle, should be present in a spherical shape. And cold forgeability, considering the occurrence of cracks during forging, the particle size should be appropriate range.
[0013]
 However, the manufacturing method for realizing the tissue has not been previously disclosed. Accordingly, the present inventors have conducted extensive studies on manufacturing method for realizing the above tissues.
[0014]
 As a result, since the cementite metal structure of the steel sheet after coiling after hot rolling in small fine pearlite or fine ferrite having lamella spacing is the dispersed bainite structure, at a relatively low temperature (400 ~ 550 ℃) winding take. By winding at a relatively low temperature, cementite dispersed in ferrite also tends to spheronization. Subsequently, partially spheroidized cementite with annealing at temperatures just below Ac1 point as annealing in the first stage. Then, in annealing at a temperature between Ac1 point and Ac3 points as annealing in the second stage (two-phase region of the so-called ferrite and austenite), while leaving a portion of the ferrite grains, thereby austenite transformation part. While growing the subsequent slow cooling to leave ferrite grains, by which it to ferrite transformation of austenite in the nucleus, grain boundary precipitation of cementite while obtaining large ferrite phase, it was found to be able to realize the tissue.
[0015]
 That is, the manufacturing method of the steel sheet to satisfy the hardenability formability at the same time, such as hot rolling conditions and annealing conditions are also difficult to implement to devise in a single, in the so-called integrated process, such as hot rolling, annealing step It was found that can be realized by achieving an optimization.

[0059]
 Next, a description will be given tissue of the steel sheet of the present invention.
[0060]
 Organization of the steel sheet of the present invention are substantially, tissue composed of ferrite and carbides. Carbides, cementite (Fe is a compound of iron and carbon 3 in addition to C), the Fe atoms in cementite, Mn, compounds or substituted with alloy elements such as Cr, alloy carbides (M 23 C 6 , M 6 C , MC, etc. [M: Fe, and other added metal element as an alloy is a).
[0061]
 When forming the steel sheet into a predetermined shape, shear zones are formed in the macrostructure of the steel sheet, in the vicinity of the shear zone, caused by slip deformation is concentrated. Slip deformation is accompanied by proliferation of dislocation, in the vicinity of the shear zone, the region of high dislocation density is formed. With the increase of the strain amount applied to the steel sheet, slip deformation is promoted, the dislocation density increases.
[0062]
 In cold forging, large deformation is applied to more than 1 in equivalent strain. Therefore, in the conventional steel sheet, it is impossible to prevent the occurrence of voids and / or cracks with the increase in dislocation density, in the conventional steel sheet, improvement of cold forgeability was difficult. To solve this problem, it is effective to suppress the formation of shear zones during molding.
[0063]
 In terms of microstructure, the formation of shear zones, slip generated at a certain one crystal grain, overcame grain boundaries, is understood as a phenomenon that continuously propagated to neighboring grains. Therefore, in order to suppress the formation of shear bands, it is necessary to prevent the propagation of slip exceeding a grain boundary.
[0064]
 Carbides in the steel sheet is a strong particles that prevent slipping, the presence of the carbides in the ferrite grain boundaries, can be prevented the propagation of slip exceeding a grain boundary, to suppress the formation of shear zones, it is possible to improve the cold forgeability. At the same time, to improve moldability of the steel sheet.
[0065]
 Formability of the steel sheet has a large extent due to the accumulation of distortion into grains (accumulation of dislocations) at the grain boundaries, if propagation is prevented to distortion of adjacent crystal grains, the strain amount in the crystal grains increased. As a result, work hardening rate increases, to improve moldability.
[0066]
 Based on theory and principles, cold workability, it is considered that strongly influenced by coverage of the ferrite grain boundary carbide, it is necessary to measure the coverage with high accuracy.
[0067]
 In three-dimensional space, in order to measure the coverage of carbides in the ferrite grain boundaries, using a scanning electron microscope in serial sectioning SEM observation performed repeatedly observed with sample cutting with FIB, or, 3D EBSP observation Required next, along with requiring enormous measurement time, the accumulation of technical know-how is indispensable. This, the present inventors have revealed, general analytical techniques concluded to be unsuitable.
[0068]
 Therefore, the result of searching a high rating indicator of simple and precise, if the ratio of the number of ferrite grain boundary carbide to the number of carbide in ferrite grains as an indicator, it is possible to evaluate the cold workability , the ratio of the number of the ferrite grain boundary carbide to the number of carbide in ferrite grains exceeds 1, the present inventors have found that the cold workability is remarkably improved were found.
[0069]
 Incidentally, buckling of the steel sheet occur during cold working, folding, none of the convolution, since those caused by localized distortion due to the formation of the shear zones, by the presence of carbides in the ferrite grain boundaries, shear relieve localized formation of the band and distortion, buckling, it can fold, to effectively suppress the generation of convolution.
[0070]
 When spheroidization ratio of carbides on the crystal grain boundary is less than 80%, locally strain is concentrated on the rod-shaped or plate-shaped carbides, since voids and / or cracks are likely to occur, on the grain boundaries spheroidization ratio of carbides is preferably at least 80%, more preferably 90% or more.
[0071]
 When the average particle diameter of carbide is less than 0.1 [mu] m, and significantly increased the hardness of the steel sheet, so workability is decreased, the average particle size of the carbide is preferably at least 0.1 [mu] m. More preferably not less than 0.17μm. On the other hand, when the average particle diameter of the carbide is more than 2.0 .mu.m, cracks become a starting point occurs and coarse carbides at the time of cold working, since cold workability is deteriorated, the average particle size of the carbides is 2.0 .mu.m or less preferable. More preferably not more than 1.95μm.
[0072]
 Observation of carbide is carried out with a scanning electron microscope. Prior to observation, the sample for microstructure observation was polished by diamond abrasive grains having an average particle size of wet grinding and 1μm by emery paper, after finishing the observation plane mirror 3% nitric acid - the tissue at alcohol solution keep etching. Observation magnification selects the magnification can be determined ferrite and carbide in 3000 times. The selected magnification, randomly to eight photographs a view of 30 [mu] m × 40 [mu] m in the sheet thickness 1/4 layers.
[0073]
 The obtained tissue image, the image analysis software represented by Mitani Corp. (Win ROOF), measuring the area of ​​each carbide contained in that region in detail. Determined circle equivalent diameter (= 2 × √ (area /3.14)) from the area of ​​the carbides, and the average value and the carbide particle size. Further, spheroidization ratio of carbides with carbide, approximated to an ellipse and the moment of inertia is equal areas are equal, the maximum and length was determined by calculating the percentage of what the ratio of the maximum length of a direction perpendicular thereto is less than 3 .
[0074]
 Incidentally, in order to suppress the influence of a measurement error due to noise, the area is 0.01 [mu] m 2 or less of carbides were excluded from the evaluation. Counting the number of cementite present in the ferrite grain boundaries on, to determine the number of carbide in ferrite grains by subtracting the number of carbides on grain boundaries from all the carbides number. Based on the measured number was determined the number ratio of the carbide on the ferrite grain boundary to the carbides in the ferrite grain.
[0075]
 In tissue after annealed cold-rolled steel sheet, a ferrite grain size With more than 5.0 .mu.m, it is possible to improve the cold workability. When the ferrite grain diameter is less than 5 [mu] m, to increase the hardness, during cold working, a crack or cracks are likely to occur, the ferrite grain size is not less than 5 [mu] m. Preferably it is 7μm or more.
[0076]
 On the other hand, when it exceeds 50 [mu] m, the number of carbides is reduced in suppressing the grain boundary propagation of slip, since cold workability is deteriorated, the ferrite grain diameter is set to 50 [mu] m or less. Preferably is less than or equal to 37μm.
[0077]
 Ferrite grain size is in the polishing method described above, after polishing the observation surface of the sample to a mirror, 3% nitric acid - etched in alcoholic solution, to observe the viewing surface the tissue under an optical microscope or a scanning electron microscope and photographed measured by applying a line segment method with respect to the image.
[0078]
 Furthermore, cementite is carbide iron is hard and brittle structure, when present in pearlite state a layered structure of ferrite, hard and steel becomes brittle. Therefore, perlite must be minimized, in the steel sheet of the present invention, 6% or less in area ratio.
[0079]
 Perlite because of its unique lamellar structure, it is possible distinguish SEM, an optical microscope observation. By calculating the area of ​​the lamellar structure in any cross-section, it is possible to determine the area ratio of pearlite.
[0080]
 Further, the Vickers hardness of the steel sheet by a 100HV or more 170HV or less, it is possible to improve the cold workability. When Vickers hardness is less than 100 HV, since buckling is likely to occur during cold working, Vickers hardness is not less than 100 HV. Preferably is equal to or greater than 110HV.
[0081]
 On the other hand, the Vickers hardness exceeds 170 Hv, ductility is lowered and the internal cracking is likely to occur during cold working, Vickers hardness is not more than 170 Hv. Preferably it is less than 168HV.
[0082]
 Next, the present invention will be described manufacturing method.
[0083]
 The present invention production process, using a steel slab of chemical composition as described above, manages to consistently hot rolling conditions and annealing conditions, the basic idea to make the microstructure control of the steel sheet.
[0084]
 First, it provides a slab continuous casting of molten steel of the required component composition to hot rolling. Slab after the continuous casting may be directly subjected to hot rolling, it may be subjected to hot rolling after once heating after cooling.
[0085]
 If heated after once cooling the slab subjected to hot rolling, the heating temperature is preferably 1000 ° C. or higher 1250 ° C. or less, the heating time is preferably 3 hours or less than 0.5 hours. The continuous cast billet, directly when subjected to hot rolling, the temperature of the steel strip subjected to hot rolling is preferably set to 1250 ° C. 1000 ° C. or higher.
[0086]
 Billet temperature or slab heating temperature exceeds 1250 ° C., or, if more than slab heating time is 3 hours, will significantly decarburization from the surface layer billet, during heating before carburizing and quenching, the steel sheet surface layer austenite grains abnormally grows, the impact resistance is lowered. Therefore, the steel strip temperature or billet heating temperature is preferably 1250 ° C. or less, the heating time is preferably 3 hours or less. More preferably 1200 ° C. or less, or less 2.5 hours.
[0087]
 Billet temperature or slab heating temperature is less than 1000 ° C., or the heating time is shorter than 0.5 hours, not eliminated resulting micro-segregation and macro segregation in casting, inside the slab, Si Ya alloy elements such as Mn is remaining locally thickened region, the impact resistance is lowered. Therefore, the steel strip temperature or billet heating temperature is preferably 1000 ° C., the heating time is preferably 0.5 hour or more. More preferably 1050 ° C. or higher, at least 1 hour.
[0088]
 Finish rolling in the hot rolling is completed at a temperature range temperatures higher than 750 ℃ ​​850 ° C. or less. When the finish rolling temperature is lower than 750 ° C., been an increase in the deformation resistance of the steel sheet, rolling load considerably increases, also the roll wear amount increases, with productivity is lowered, improving the plastic anisotropy since recrystallization does not proceed sufficiently necessary to, finish rolling temperature is set to 750 ° C. or higher. In terms of promoting recrystallization, preferably 770 ° C. or higher.
[0089]
 When the finish rolling temperature exceeds 850 ° C., a Run Out Table (ROT) thick scale is formed during Tsuban, due to this scale, scratches occur on the surface of the steel sheet, cold forging and after carburizing quenching and tempering when an impact load is applied, a crack is easily generated flaws starting, the impact resistance of the steel sheet is lowered. Therefore, the finish rolling temperature to 850 ° C. or less. Preferably less than or equal to 830 ℃.
[0090]
 Upon cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet after finish rolling in the ROT, the cooling rate is preferably 10 ° C. / sec or higher 100 ° C. / sec or less. When the cooling rate is less than 10 ° C. / sec, thick scale is generated during cooling, can not suppress the occurrence of caused by flaws in it, since the impact resistance is lowered, the cooling rate is preferably at least 10 ° C. / sec . More preferably 20 ° C. / sec or more.
[0091]
 Over the inside from the surface layer of the steel sheet, and cooled at a cooling rate exceeding 100 ° C. / sec, the outermost layer is excessively cooled, resulting in a low temperature transformation structure such as bainite or martensite. After winding, when paying out a hot-rolled steel coil cooled to 100 ° C. ~ room temperature, fine cracks occur in the low-temperature transformation structure. The micro cracks, it is difficult to remove by pickling and cold rolling.
[0092]
 Then, the steel sheet, an impact load is applied after cold forging and carburizing quenching and tempering, because crack develops microcracks starting from the impact resistance is lowered. Therefore, the outermost layer of the steel sheet, to prevent the low-temperature transformation structure such as bainite or martensite occurs, the cooling rate is preferably 100 ° C. / sec or less. More preferably at most 90 ° C. / sec.
[0093]
 Incidentally, the cooling rate after passing through the hot-rolled steel sheet without irrigation interval after the finish rolling, from the time of receiving water cooled in the water injection section, at the time it is cooled on ROT to the target temperature of the winding, the water injection section cooling points to a cooling power received from the equipment, do not indicate the average cooling rate to a temperature to be wound by the winder from injection start point.
[0094]
 Coiling temperature to 400 ° C. or higher 550 ° C. or less. This is a common temperature lower than the winding temperature, especially if a high content of C is usually not performed conditions. The hot-rolled steel sheets produced in the conditions described above, by winding at this temperature range, the structure of the steel sheet, carbide fine ferrite can be dispersed bainite.
[0095]
 When the coiling temperature is below 400 ° C., transformed into untransformed a an austenitic stiff martensite before winding, during payout of hot-rolled steel coil, cracks occur in the surface layer of the hot-rolled steel sheet, the impact sex is reduced.
[0096]
 Further, when recrystallized from austenite to ferrite, for recrystallization driving force is small, the orientation of recrystallized ferrite grains, becomes strongly affected by orientation of the austenite grains, it is difficult to randomization texture. Therefore, the winding temperature is set to 400 ℃ or more. Preferably at 430 ℃ or more.
[0097]
 When the coiling temperature exceeds 550 ° C., a large pearlite generates a lamellar spacing, high thermal stability, thick acicular carbides are generated. The needle-shaped carbides are also remains after two-stage annealing. During molding of the cold forging of the steel sheet, crack generates the acicular carbides as a starting point.
[0098]
 Further, when recrystallized ferrite from austenite, conversely, too large recrystallization driving force, in this case, it is recrystallized ferrite grains strongly dependent on the orientation of the austenite grains is not made randomized texture. Therefore, the winding temperature is set to 550 ℃ or less. Preferably at 520 ℃ or less.
[0099]
 Dispensing a hot-rolled steel coil, after applying pickling, the 2-step type to keep the two temperature ranges annealing (2-step annealing) performed. By applying a two-stage annealing hot-rolled steel sheet, to control the stability of the carbides and promotes the formation of carbides in the ferrite grain boundaries.
[0100]
 Prior to annealing, the subjected to cold rolling steel sheet after pickling, since the ferrite grain becomes finer, the steel sheet is hardly softened. Therefore, in the present invention, not preferred subjected to a cold rolling prior to annealing, pickling, is subjected to a annealing process without cold rolling preferred.
[0101]
 Annealing the first-stage, 650 ~ 720 ℃, preferably A c1 performed in a temperature range of below points. This annealing, carbide is coarsened and causes partially spheroidized, the alloying element is concentrated in the carbide, enhance the thermal stability of the carbide.
[0102]
 In the annealing of the first stage, the heating rate up to the annealing temperature (hereinafter referred to as "first-stage heating rate") is not more than 30 ° C. / time or 0.99 ° C. / hour. When the first stage the heating rate is less than 30 ° C. / time, since productivity is lowered takes time to raise the temperature, first stage heating rate is set to 3 ° C. / time or more. Preferably at 10 ° C. / time or more.
[0103]
 On the other hand, when the first stage heating rate exceeds 0.99 ° C. / time, temperature difference between the inner and the outer peripheral portion is increased in the hot-rolled steel coil, with scratches or burn due to thermal expansion difference occurs, the surface of the steel sheet unevenness is formed on. At the time of molding such as cold forging, because the irregularities generated cracks becomes a starting point, or reduces the cold forging, impact resistance after molding property and carburizing quenching and tempering is deteriorated, the first stage heating rate 150 ℃ / and time below. Preferably at most 130 ° C. / hour.
[0104]
 1-stage annealing at annealing temperature (hereinafter referred to as "first stage annealing temperature") is set to 650 ° C. or higher 720 ° C. or less. When the first stage annealing temperature is lower than 650 ° C., but the stabilization of carbides is sufficiently, when the second-stage annealing, it is difficult to leave carbides in the austenite. Therefore, the first stage annealing temperature is set to 650 ° C. or higher. Preferably at 670 ℃ or more.
[0105]
 On the other hand, when the first stage annealing temperature exceeds 720 ° C., austenite is produced before the stability of the carbides increases, since the control of the aforementioned tissue changes difficult, the first stage annealing temperature is set to 720 ° C. or less . Preferably 700 ° C. or less.
[0106]
 The first stage of annealing in the annealing time (hereinafter referred to as "first-stage annealing time") is not more than 60 hours or more 3 hours. When the first stage annealing time is less than 3 hours, but the stabilization of carbides is sufficiently, at the time of the second-stage annealing, it is difficult to leave carbides in the austenite. For this reason, the first stage annealing time shall not be less than 3 hours. Preferably it is greater than or equal to 5 hours.
[0107]
 On the other hand, when the first stage annealing time exceeds 60 hours, not be expected even more stabilization of carbides, further, the productivity is lowered, the first stage annealing time is less 60 hours. Preferably not more than 55 hours.
[0108]
 Then, 725 ~ 790 ° C., preferably A c1 or points A 3 raised to a temperature range below point to produce an austenitic in structure. At this time, the carbide in fine ferrite grains is dissolved in the austenite, coarsened carbide by annealing in the first stage is left in the austenite.
[0109]
 When cooled without annealing of the second stage, not ferrite grain size is large, it is impossible to obtain an ideal tissue.
[0110]
 Heating rate up to the annealing temperature of the second-stage annealing (hereinafter referred to as "second-stage heating rate") is set to 80 ° C. / time or less 1 ° C. / time or more. During the annealing of the second stage, austenite is generated to grow from ferrite grain boundaries. At that time, by slowing the heating rate up to the annealing temperature to suppress the nucleation of austenite, in tissue formed by slow cooling after annealing, it is possible to increase the grain boundary coverage carbide.
[0111]
 Therefore, although towards the second stage the heating rate is slow Preferably, 1 is less than ° C. / time, it takes time to increase the temperature, since productivity is lowered, the second stage the heating rate is 1 ° C. / time or more to. Preferably at 10 ° C. / time or more.
[0112]
 When the second stage heating rate exceeds 80 ° C. / time, the hot-rolled steel coil, increasing the temperature difference between the inner and the outer peripheral portion, scratches and seizure due to large thermal expansion difference due to transformation occurs, irregularities are formed on the surface of the steel sheet. During cold forging, cracking is the uneven starting, reduced moldability and cold forgeability, and since also decreases the impact resistance after carburizing quenching and tempering, the second stage the heating rate is 80 ° C. / the time or less. Preferably at most 70 ° C. / hour.
[0113]
 The second stage of the annealing in the annealing temperature (hereinafter referred to as "second-stage annealing temperature") shall be 790 ℃ less than 725 ℃ or more. When the second stage annealing temperature is lower than 725 ° C., the amount of austenite becomes small, after the after the second stage annealing cooling, the number of carbides is reduced in the ferrite grain boundary, also ferrite grain diameter decreases . Therefore, the second stage annealing temperature is set to 725 ° C. or higher. Preferably at 735 ℃ or more.
[0114]
 On the other hand, when the second stage annealing temperature exceeds 790 ° C., it becomes difficult to leave the carbide austenite, since the control of a tissue change is difficult, the second stage annealing temperature is set to 790 ° C. or less. Preferably at 770 ℃ or less.
[0115]
 2-stage annealing at annealing time (second stage annealing time) is less than 3 hours or more 50 hours. When the second stage annealing time is less than 3 hours, the amount of austenite is small, and does not proceed sufficiently dissolution of carbides in the ferrite grains, it is difficult to increase the number of carbides of the ferrite grain boundaries, Furthermore, the ferrite particle diameter decreases. For this reason, the second stage annealing time shall not be less than 3 hours. Preferably it is greater than or equal to 5 hours.
[0116]
 On the other hand, when the second stage annealing time exceeds 50 hours, it is difficult to leave the carbide in austenite, and because also increases manufacturing costs, the second stage annealing time is less than 50 hours. Preferably not more than 40 hours.
[0117]
 After the two-stage annealing, the steel sheet is cooled to 650 ° C. at 1 ° C. / time or 30 ° C. / time less cooling rate.
[0118]
 By slow cooling, by slow cooling the austenite generated in the annealing in the second stage, as well as transformed into ferrite, carbon atoms adsorbed on carbide remaining in the austenite, carbides and austenite covers the ferrite grain boundary, ultimately a, it can be tissue carbides there are many in the ferrite grain boundaries.
[0119]
 For this purpose, the cooling rate is slower preferably is less than 1 ° C. / time, increases the time required for cooling, since productivity is lowered, the cooling rate is set to 1 ° C. / time or more. Preferably at 10 ° C. / time or more.
[0120]
 On the other hand, if the cooling rate exceeds 30 ° C. / time, austenite transforms to pearlite, increases the hardness of the steel sheet, reduces the cold forgeability and impact resistance after carburizing quenching and tempering is deteriorated since the cooling rate is less 30 ° C. / hour. Preferably not more than 20 ° C. / hour.
[0121]
 Furthermore, cooling the steel sheet was cooled to 650 ° C. to room temperature. The cooling rate at this time is not limited.
[0122]
 Atmosphere in the two-stage annealing, particularly, but not limited to a specific atmosphere. For example, an atmosphere of 95% nitrogen, an atmosphere of hydrogen over 95%, may be any atmosphere of air atmosphere.
[0123]
 As described above, the hot rolling conditions and annealing conditions consistently manage present invention, according to the production method for performing tissue control of the steel plate, the diaphragm, cold combining thickened molding formability during forging good, further, it is possible to manufacture a steel sheet having excellent hardenability required for the improvement of impact resistance after carburizing quenching and tempering.
