Summary of the Invention
Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0013]
 Incidentally, both the prior art described above, by devising the shape of the part, or a technique for improving bending resistance by the surface layer of the modification by heat treatment. On the other hand, these techniques, when changing the shape of the part is difficult, or there is a problem in application to the case where unacceptable changes in the steel part of the size and shape during the heat treatment.
[0014]
 Further, any of the above prior art does not adequately meet the demand for steel sheets having a high bending resistance, even if the plate thickness small.

[0017]
 However, the production method of the steel sheet satisfying the hardness and bending resistance are merely be difficult to manufacture to devise such as hot rolling conditions and annealing conditions in a single, so-called integrated process, such as hot rolling, annealing step that only not be produced to achieve the optimization Te also to findings by stacking various studies, thereby completing the present invention.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0022]
 Steel sheet of the present invention comprises a hard layer made of an average micro Vickers low hardness inner layer and than the hard layer is a steel sheet of two-layer or three-layer structure comprising the hard layer on at least one surface.
[0023]
 First, the hard layer and the thickness of the inner layer, the reason for limiting the average micro Vickers hardness is described.
[0024]
[Hard layer and the thickness of the inner layer]
 The thickness of the hard layer present on one or both surfaces of the inner layer and more per side 20 [mu] m, and 2/5 or less of Zen'itaAtsu. When the thickness of the hard layer is less than 20 [mu] m, small thickness of the hard layer, upon the addition of a bending moment in the steel sheet, easily lead to peeling of the hard layer, it is not obtained excellent bending resistance. For example, even when having a hard layer more than 20 [mu] m in one side of the inner layer, the structure having a hard layer of less than 20 [mu] m on the other surface of the inner layer, upon the addition of a bending moment in the steel plate, 20 [mu] m there is a possibility that the hard layer less than peels. For this reason, the thickness of the hard layer, the inner layer of the single-sided per 20μm or more.
[0025]
 Also, if the total of each of the hard layer thickness formed on one or both surfaces of the inner layer is more than 2/5 of Zen'itaAtsu, stress on the hard layer is increased at the time of bending, cracks from the hard layer since bending resistance is significantly degraded Te, it can not be obtained the advantage of bending resistance improvement by multi-layering. Therefore, the total thickness of each hard layer and 2/5 or less of Zen'itaAtsu. More preferably, the thickness of each hard layer 30μm or more, the sum of the thickness is 3/10 or less of Zen'itaAtsu.
[0026]
 Method of measuring the hard layer and the thickness of the inner layer is not particularly limited as long as can be measured accurately, for example, it may be measured by an optical microscope. When measuring the hard layer and the thickness of the inner layer by using an optical microscope, it is preferable to measure in the next steps.
[0027]
 First, the embedded sample as a measurement target in a cylindrical epoxy resin having a diameter of 30 mm, subjected to rough polishing by wet grinding using abrasive paper # 80-1000, subsequently, an average particle size of 3μm and 1μm performing polished to a mirror-like using a diamond abrasive having. The polishing of diamond particles 1μm is a load of 1N ~ 10 N In addition, on the grinding stand which rotates at a speed of 30 ~ 120mpm, performed under the conditions held for 30 to 600 seconds. The hard layer and the inner layer, since there is a difference in hardness, in the polishing of diamond particles above 1 [mu] m, a difference in polishing amount occurs.
[0028]
 Thus, now a small step on the hard layer and the inner layer of the boundary caused by observation using an optical microscope, determining the hard layer and the inner layer of the boundary, the ratio thickness of each layer and the thickness more precisely it is possible. Incidentally, if a step that is provided by the finish polishing minute, observed by differential interference optical microscope is preferred.
[0029]
[Hard layer and an average micro Vickers hardness of the inner layer]
 Average micro Vickers hardness of the hard layer 400HV or more and less than 800 HV. If the average micro Vickers hardness of less than 400 HV, low hardness of the hard layer, is not obtained excellent bending resistance. Therefore, an average micro Vickers hardness of the hard layer is not less than 400 HV. On the other hand, when the average micro Vickers hardness of the hard layer is more than 800 HV, since the hard layer is excessively high strength, since the hard layer is destroyed brittle upon the addition of a bending moment, bending resistance is significantly deteriorated to. Therefore, an average micro Vickers hardness of the hard layer is less than 800 HV. More preferably, more than 450 HV, or less 780HV.
[0030]
 The average micro Vickers hardness of the inner layer 350HV or more, and smaller than 50HV than the hardness of the hard layer. If the average micro Vickers hardness of less than 350 HV, since the difference in hardness of the hard layer is increased, become distorted biased to excessively inner side when adding the bending moment, the inner layer is easily deformed, It leads to a decrease in bending resistance. Therefore, the average micro Vickers hardness of the inner layer be at least 350 HV. Also, when the average micro Vickers hardness exceeds 50HV less than the hardness of the hard layer, since the difference between the hard layer and the inner layer of the hardness is decreased, upon the addition of a bending moment, the elastic strain in the hard layer from the fact that such a large, bending resistance is degraded. Therefore, the average micro Vickers hardness of the inner layer and smaller than 50HV than the hardness of the hard layer. More preferably, more than 400 HV, which is smaller than 100HV than the hard layer.
[0031]
 The average micro Vickers hardness of the steel sheet, a micro-Vickers hardness of the load 0.098N at each thickness 1/4 position from the hard layer and the inner layer of the surface, were measured 12 points, most hard data, and most soft determined from the average value of 10 points excluding the data. Measurement of Micro Vickers hardness, JIS Z 2244: conforms to defined Vickers hardness test performed on 2009. Note that the diagonal length of about 7μm indentations in the case of 400HV the load 0.098 N, the length of the case of 800HV is about 5 [mu] m, can be suitably evaluated hardness of the hard layer having a thickness of about 20μm it is.
[0032]
 The standard deviation of nano-hardness of the hard layer is 2.0 or less. This can be achieved by suppressing the variation in nano-hardness of the hard layer is because the bending resistance is significantly improved. If the standard deviation exceeds 2.0, since the variation in the hardness of the hard layer is increased, for example, cracking in the hard layer may occur when applying the bending moment. From this point of view, the standard deviation is preferably 2.0 or less, more preferably 1.6 or less. The lower limit of the standard deviation is not specified, but be suppressed to 0.2 or less is technically difficult.
[0033]
 Note that variations in the thickness direction of the nano-hardness of the hard layer does not affect the bending resistance, even if had an inclination of hardness in the sheet thickness direction, without impairing the effects of the present invention. In effect, if the variation of the nano-hardness in the width direction of the steel sheet is large, i.e., when the variation in nano-hardness in a line perpendicular to the thickness direction and the rolling direction is large, bending resistance decreases . Therefore, the standard deviation of nano-hardness, it is necessary to obtain the plate thickness direction and the rolling direction of a sheet thickness cross-section from the hardness at a line perpendicular. However, the initial position of the measurement of nano-hardness can be in the right and either direction of the left starting from the center position in the width direction of the steel sheet.
[0034]
 In the present invention, the "standard deviation of nano-hardness of the hard layer", 1/4 position in the thickness from the surface side of the hard layer, on a line perpendicular to the thickness direction and the rolling direction of the plate thickness cross section nano hardness of 100 points at intervals of 3 [mu] m, measured under the conditions of the indentation depth 80 nm, a histogram from the obtained hardness data, the standard deviation of the fitting curve when approximating the histogram in a normal distribution it is intended to say.
[0035]
[Lining of screw dislocation density]
 screw dislocation density of the inner layer is Cu or, using a small portion X-ray diffractometer equipped with Co tube, measured by modified-Williamson-Hall / Warren- Averbach method. Samples subjected to X-ray diffraction may be used samples used for thickness measurement by the above-mentioned optical microscope. Before subjected to X-ray diffraction, the mirror-polished surface, chemical etching or subjected to electrolytic polishing to remove the distortion introduced by mechanical polishing. Measurement surface is a plane parallel to the rolling direction and thickness direction, irradiation range of X-rays to adjust the X diameter to fit within the thickness of the inner layer by a collimator or the like. In the case of using the X-ray source of Cu tube was placed a monochromator or the like, to suppress as much as possible detection of the fluorescent X-ray. Procedure according to modified-Williamson-Hall / Warren- Averbach method, for example, T. Ungar and A. Borbely: Appl. Phys. Lett. , 69 (1996), 3173. Alternatively, Masayoshi Kumagai, Muneyuki Imafuku, Shin -ichi Ohya: ISIJ International, Vol. 54 (2014) No. 1, p. 206-211 a may be helpful.
[0036]
 Screw dislocation density of the inner layer is × 10 2.0 13 m / m 3 and more. Screw dislocation cause cross slip, it increases the yield strength of the steel from its entanglement. That is, an increase in the screw dislocation density in the inner layer, because it increases the load required to the occurrence of plastic deformation called "bending", is operational effect of increasing the bending resistance. Screw dislocation density of × 10 2.0 13 m / m 3 by weight, because the effect of improving the bending resistance is not obtained, the lower limit × 10 2.0 13 m / m 3 and more. Incidentally, although the screw dislocation density is preferably as high as possible, 1 × 10 17 m / m 3 when it exceeds voids are generated in the site of the entanglement of the dislocations leads to brittle fracture of the steel sheet. Therefore, the upper limit × 10 1 17 m / m 3 is preferred. Therefore, the lower limit of the inner layer of the screw dislocation density × 10 2.0 13 m / m 3 and more. More preferably × 10 5 13 m / m 3 at least.
[0037]
[C, C in the content and the inner layer of Mn, the relationship between the content of Mn in the hard layer]
 and the above-mentioned hard layer and an inner layer of an average micro Vickers hardness requirements, in addition to the requirements of the inner layer of the screw dislocation density, rigid C C in the layer, the content of Mn in the inner layer, to be more than Mn is essential in order to obtain the effect of the present invention. C, Mn are both affecting element micro yield of steel, has the effect of suppressing the occurrence of micro yield with increasing content. The micro-yield, for example, strain macroscopically during the tensile test are considered elastically deformed - in the area of stress, a breakdown phenomenon that occurs in the crystal grains in internal material. Micro yield is essentially dislocation generated from the crystal grain inside or grain boundaries, resulting in propagating to adjacent crystal grains. Yield that occurs in the crystal grain units, that is, micro breakdown phenomenon to propagate throughout the thickness plate is a macroscopic breakdown phenomenon observed in a tensile test. C is by segregating at grain boundaries, dislocations into adjacent particle propagation, i.e., the effect of suppressing the occurrence of micro yield. Further, Mn is considered to be effective to promote cross slip dislocations moving in grain, by suppressing the deposition of dislocations into the crystal grain boundaries at the time of giving an external force, dislocation of the adjacent grains propagation, i.e. , has the effect of suppressing the generation of micro surrender. To ensure the bending resistance, it is necessary to suppress the occurrence of micro breakdown in the hard layer, for this purpose, the strain relaxation when an external force is applied to the multilayered steel, the inner layer of the micro yield there is a need to supplement with. Therefore, to suppress the occurrence of micro breakdown of the hard layer, to facilitate the generation of the inner layer of the micro-yield, C in the hard layer, the content of each of Mn, increasing C, than the respective content of Mn in the inner layer There is a need.
[0038]
 It will be described optimum chemical components in the hard layer and the inner layer of the steel sheet. Hereinafter, "%" for component means mass%.
[0039]
(C: 0.10 ~ 0.60%)
 C is an effective element for strengthening steel. To ensure the bending resistance of the part is required C amount of 0.10% or more, is less than 0.10% is insufficient hardness of the material, it is impossible to obtain excellent wear bendability. Therefore, the lower limit of 0.10% or more. On the other hand, when it exceeds 0.60% encourage the formation of carbides in the material, the upper limit is 0.40% or less because it causes brittle cracks starting from the carbides upon the addition of a bending moment. More preferably 0.15% or more, or less 0.59%.
[0040]
(Si: 0.01 ~
 3.00%) Si acts as a deoxidizer that affect element intensities increased carbide morphology control and steel. Is less than 0.01%, generation of carbides is promoted, a large amount of carbide become present in the steel, bending resistance is deteriorated. Incidentally, suppressing the Si on the content of less than 0.01%, in the current refining processes also result in increased costs. Therefore, the lower limit of Si is 0.01% or more. On the other hand, when the content of Si exceeds 3.0%, lead to embrittlement of the steel components, to reduce the bending resistance, and 3.0% the upper limit. Preferably 0.01% or more, 2.5% or less. More preferably, 0.2% or more, 2.0% or less.
[0041]
(Mn: 1.00 ~
 10.00%) Mn acts as a deoxidizer and also is an element effective in suppressing the steel pearlite transformation. If it is less than 1.00%, in the course of cooling from the austenite region, it becomes difficult to suppress pearlite transformation, with this, because the tissue ratio of martensite is reduced, causing a reduction and bending resistance of degradation of the intensity . Therefore, the lower limit of 1.0% or more. On the other hand, when it exceeds 10.00%, coarse Mn oxide becomes to be present in the steel, to become starting points of fracture at the time of bending, bending resistance is deteriorated. Therefore, to 10.00% the upper limit. Preferably 2.0% or more, or less 9.0%.
[0042]
(P: 0.0001 ~ 0.0200 Pasento)
 P is an element to promote the embrittlement of strongly segregated grain boundaries in the ferrite grain boundaries. Preferably as small, in order to highly purified to less than 0.0001% in the refining step, the number of time required for the refining, leads to a significant increase in cost. Therefore, the lower limit may be 0.0001% or more. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.0200%, the lowering the bending resistance by grain boundary embrittlement, the upper limit or less 0.0200%. Preferably 0.0010% or more, or less 0.0190%.
[0043]
(S: 0.0001 ~ 0.0200%)
 S generates a non-metallic inclusions of MnS, etc. in steel, it is an element deteriorating the ductility of the steel sheet part. Preferably as small, in order to highly purified to less than 0.0001% in the refining step, the number of time required for the refining, leads to a significant increase in cost. Therefore, the lower limit may be 0.0001% or more. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.0200% leads to cracking of occurrence starting from the non-metallic inclusions upon the addition of a bending moment, since the bending resistance is lowered, the upper limit or less 0.0200%. Preferably 0.0010% or more, or less 0.0190%.
[0044]
(N: 0.0200% or less)

[0067]
 Subsequently, describe the observation and measurement method of the steel sheet structure.
[0068]
 Structure observation is conducted with a scanning electron microscope. Prior to observation, etching 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, a tissue with 3% nitric acid alcohol solution keep. Observation magnification was 3000 times, at random shooting ten viewing of 30 [mu] m × 40 [mu] m in the hard layer and the inner layer each thickness 1/4 layer. The ratio of the tissue is determined by the point counting method. The obtained tissue image, defines lattice points arranged at intervals in the longitudinal 3μm and horizontal 4μm total 100 points, to determine the tissue underlying the grid points, tissue ratios included in steel from ten average the seek.
[0069]
 The volume percentage of carbide is performed based on the captured tissue image 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, etching the tissue with saturated picric acid alcohol solution keep. Observation magnification was 3000 times, randomly to eight photographs a view of 30 [mu] m × 40 [mu] m in the sheet thickness 1/4 layers. The resulting image analysis software represented by Mitani Corp. (Win ROOF) to the tissue image, measures the area of each carbide contained in that region in detail. It obtains the ratio of the total area of the carbide to the total area of the observation field, which is the volume percentage of carbide. Incidentally, in order to suppress the influence of a measurement error due to noise, the area is 0.01 [mu] m 2 is less carbide excluded from the evaluation.
[0070]
 In the steel sheet of the present invention, the volume percentage of carbide in the hard layer and the inner layer is preferably 2.0% or less. Carbide is the hardest tissue in the steel, even if the stress applied to the steel small 0.5 times the tensile strength, due to the difference in hardness relative to other tissues, the steel in contact with the carbide strain is concentrated in the matrix interface. Concentration of strain leads to plastic deformation, causing a reduction in bending resistance and fatigue resistance. Therefore, the more carbides are less preferably, 2.0 or less is preferable by volume. Still more preferably not more than 1.6%.
[0071]
 As described above, the steel sheet of the present invention, and the inner layer, the improved tensile strength of the steel by providing a hard layer, since yield point in improving the wake of the tensile strength is increased, excellent bending resistance having. Bending resistance can be confirmed by the following evaluation methods. That is, to produce a Schenk-type specimens from each sample, after sticking the strain gauge on the test piece surface in the state of stress unloaded, 10 in 0.5 times the applied stress of the tensile strength 3 bending repetitions plane giving, to measure the residual plastic strain after removing the test piece from the tester. According to the present invention, the residual plastic strain can be less than 0.1%.
[0072]
 Further, according to the present invention, it is possible to produce high strength steel sheet excellent in fatigue fracture characteristics. Such high-strength steel sheet, because bending resistance is more excellent, excellent in fatigue strength. Incidentally, fatigue resistance can be confirmed by the following evaluation methods. That is, to produce a Schenk-type specimens from each sample, after stuck a strain gauge on the test piece surface in the state of stress unloaded, 10 in 0.5 times the applied stress of the tensile strength 4 bending repetitions plane give. According to the present invention, 10 4 after repeated bending plane of times even does not occur fatigue failure (fracture) can make a material excellent in fatigue fracture properties. Steel sheet excellent in fatigue strength according to the present invention, at least, none of the hard layer and the inner layer of the steel plate constituting the steel sheet, it is necessary to satisfy the composition of the optimal chemical composition described above.
[0073]
 Such bending resistance excellent steel sheet, not only performs typical carburizing and nitriding, nitrocarburizing, high frequency surface hardening, etc. obtained as a surface modification treatment before. This is because, in the heat treatment process such as carburizing and nitriding, nitrocarburizing, remains until the formation of a hard layer on the surface layer, the inner layer of the screw dislocation density 2.0 × 10 13 m / m 3 , it is difficult to control, the This is because lowering the bending resistance.
[0074]
Manufacturing method of the steel sheet of the present invention]
 Next, a method for manufacturing the steel sheet of the present invention. The following description, there is intended to be illustrative of the characteristic methods for producing the steel sheet of the present invention, the steel sheet of the present invention obtained by pasting inner layer and a hard layer as described below It was not intended to be limited to multi-layer steel sheet. For example during the manufacture of steel sheets, surface treated steel sheet of a single layer, by curing the surface layer portion, it is also possible to produce a steel sheet having an inner layer and a hard layer according to the present invention. By curing the surface layer portion by surface treatment in this way during the production of steel sheet, by heat treatment distortion that occurs when subjected to a surface treatment after part molding can solve the problem of dimensional accuracy decreases.
[0075]
 Production method of the present invention, characterized in that on one or both surfaces of the inner layer, paste 50HV or harder rigid layer than the hardness of the inner layer, and to control the morphology and composition and organization of the inner layer of the dislocations in the optimal state It is set to. The heat as such a manufacturing method is not particularly limited, for example, the diffusion heat treatment process using a blank plate of sheet steel, each steel kind pasted slab of hard layer and the inner layer by electron beam welding using rolled, cold-rolled annealed, and processing of the plating and the like. Characteristic of a specific production method of the present invention is as follows.
[0076]
 Method for producing a multi-layer slab is not particularly limited, for example, may be either a continuous casting process or slabs welding. In the continuous casting method, a casting machine with two tundish, to produce initially an inner side of the cast body in the center, subsequently, to cover the inner side of the casting, the second Tan corresponding to the hard layer from the dish, injecting molten steel of a different component from the inner side, continuously solidified to obtain a slab of double layer state. Alternatively, the slab welding process, the slab was cast into a predetermined composition or the crude rolling stock produced from the slab, the bonding surface is polished by machine scarf, etc., followed by acid and alcohol cleaning, oxides or contamination that is obtained by removing the objects are stacked. Further joined by the stacking slab electron beam welding, to obtain a laminated slab for hot rolling.
[0077]
 More using slab made by process according to example, by producing a multilayered steel by the hot rolling step described below, it is possible to manufacture the steel sheet of the present invention.
[0078]
 Hot rolling characteristics: a multilayer slab described above, it is or once performed hot rolling after heating after cooling, 650 ° C. or higher, and ends the finish hot rolling at a temperature range of 950 ° C. or less. After cooling the steel sheet after finish rolling on a run out table (ROT) and Maki up hot-rolled coil at a temperature less than 700 ℃. Moreover, the hot rolled coil after state or pickled non pickling, providing an elongation of 0.1% or more temper rolling (also referred to as "skin pass rolling."). Hereinafter, the production method of the present invention will be described in detail.
[0079]
 The multilayer heating temperature during the hot rolling of the slab 1100 ° C. or higher, and 1300 ° C. or less, it is preferable to set the heating time than 300 minutes or more 15 minutes in the heating temperature range. Or heating temperature exceeds 1300 ° C., or when the heating time exceeds 300 minutes progressed significantly oxidized between the hard layer and the inner layer, since the hard layer and the inner layer is easily peeled off, a reduction in bending resistance there is a cause. As a more preferable upper limit, the heating temperature is 1250 ° C. or less, the heating time at this temperature range is less than 270 minutes. On the other hand, if the heating temperature during the hot rolling of the multilayered slab is less than 1100 ° C., or the heating time is shorter than 15 minutes, eliminating the hard layer and the inner layer of the solidification segregation becomes insufficient, and the hard layer there is a case in which the inner layer of the tensile strength becomes insufficient. Therefore, as a more preferable lower limit, the heating temperature is 1150 ° C. or higher, the heating time at this temperature range is 30 minutes or more.
[0080]
 Finish hot rolling 650 ° C. or higher, and be terminated at 950 ° C. or less. When finishing hot-rolling temperature is lower than 650 ° C., from the increase in deformation resistance of the steel sheet, it increased significantly the rolling load, further causes an increase of the roll abrasion loss, which may cause a reduction in productivity. For this reason the lower limit to 650 ° C. or higher. Further, when the finishing hot-rolling temperature exceeds 950 ° C., since the flaw due to thick scales of generating ROT during Tsuban occurs on the surface of the steel sheet, surface cracks due to the scale is generated, the bending resistance cause a decrease. Therefore, the upper limit is 950 ° C. or less. More preferably 800 ° C. or more and 930 ° C. or less. In order to make the standard deviation of nano-hardness of the hard layer to 2.0 or less, in addition to the temperature range of the finish rolling, it is more preferable that the optimum chemical components described above a steel rigid layer .
[0081]
 The cooling rate of the steel sheet in the ROT after the finish hot rolling is 10 ° C. / sec or more, it is preferable to 100 ° C. / sec or less. In cooling rate is less than 10 ° C. / sec is not possible to prevent the occurrence of flaws due to its generation of thick scale in the middle cooling, lowering the surface appearance. It is preferable that the order lower and 10 ° C. / sec or more. Further, when cooling the steel plate at a cooling rate exceeding 100 ° C. / sec over the inside from the surface layer of the steel sheet, the outermost layer causes a low-temperature transformation structure, such as over-cooled bainite or martensite. When paying out the coil which is cooled to room temperature after winding the microcracks are generated in the above-mentioned low temperature transformation structure, it is difficult to remove the cracks in the subsequent pickling step. These cracks become starting points of fracture, causing the fracture and reduction in productivity of the steel sheet on production. It is preferred that this order limit the 100 ° C. / sec or less. Point The cooling rate prescribed above is steel sheet after the finish hot rolling is from the time (injection starting point) for receiving the water cooled in the water injection section after passing through the non-water injection section, which is cooled on ROT to the target temperature of the take-up points to a cooling power received from the cooling equipment of the injection interval in, does not indicate the mean cooling rate to a temperature to be wound by a winding machine from injection start point. More preferably 20 ° C. / sec or more and 90 ° C. / sec or less.
[0082]
 The winding temperature is set to 700 ℃ or less. If the coiling temperature exceeds 700 ° C., in addition to the inability to secure a predetermined strength to the hard layer and the inner layer after hot rolling, leads to generation of a large amount of carbides, causing a reduction in bending resistance. Therefore, the upper limit of the coiling temperature is set to 700 ° C. or less. Further, for strength increase in the hard layer, but the coiling temperature is preferably as low, if subjected to low temperature cryogenic treatment than room temperature (sub-zero treatment), there are cases where hot rolled sheet is considerably brittle, take-up the lower limit of the temperature is preferably at least 0 ° C.. More preferably 10 ° C. or more and 680 ° C. or less.
[0083]
 To obtain the embodiment of the present invention, control in the skin pass rolling is very important. When giving plastic deformation by applying a load to the multilayer steel, as shown in FIG. 5, along the hard layer and the inner layer of stress-strain curve, the distribution of stress and strain occurs in the hard layer and the inner layer. For example, when adding a plastic strain corresponding to the coordinates 1 and 2 in FIG. 5, for the inner layer of the deformation is easy, many plastic strain in the inner layer as shown by the coordinates 3 is introduced. In this state, when the load is removed, the stress of the coordinates 1 and 3 - shrinkage from the distortion state by elastic deformation occurs. In the case the stress of the coordinates 1 is higher than the coordinates 3, the direction of the coordinates 1 than contraction amount coordinates 3 by elastic deformation increases. As a result, the stress state after removal of the load, as indicated by the coordinate 4 and 5, the tensile in the hard layer, so that the compression stress field is created in the inner layer.
[0084]
 Thus, after the addition of plastic deformation in the inner layer, by leaving the compressive stress, the lining of the screw dislocation density × 10 2.0 13 m / m 3 can be controlled above. That is, for dislocations grown by plastic deformation, deformation and reverse (in this case, the compression from tension) is Granting stress, dislocations introduced by pulling dislocation originated by, applied compressive stress attempts to return toward the source. Further, the skin pass rolling, when a large amount of dislocations are introduced, dislocations each other entanglement, the movement of dislocations is suppressed by the entanglement, not be able to go back to the dislocation source. In order to try to alleviate the compressive stress generated in the inner layer is different from the original primary slip system is slip system, dislocation moves to another slip system, called cross slip occurs. The cross slip are the phenomenon which occurs only screw dislocation, by the application of skin pass rolling to the multilayered steel, it is possible to increase the screw dislocation density preferentially.
[0085]
 Skin pass giving the multilayer steel sheet and elongation of 0.1% or more. Elongation, that is, if the amount of plastic deformation given to the multilayered steel is less than 0.1%, the plastic deformation amount of the inner layer is small, the screw dislocation density × 10 2.0 13 m / m 3 to control more than can not. Therefore, the lower limit of the skin pass elongation of 0.1% or more. Although the skin pass rolling rate is preferably as high as possible, be granted beyond 5.0%, it becomes possible to place a large load on the rolling mill, because the productivity is reduced, the upper limit is 5.0% or less preferable. More preferably 0.2% or more and 4.0% or less.
[0086]
 Further, the skin pass rolling already, or pickled hot rolled steel strip of non-skin pass rolled, cold rolled, or further cold-rolled sheet annealing, or after hot rolled sheet annealing by applying cold-rolled and cold-rolled sheet annealing , it may be produced cold rolled steel strip having both a bending resistance.
[0087]
 Pickling: The type of acid used in the pickling step is not particularly specified. The purpose of pickling is the removal of oxide scale formed on the surface of the steel strip after hot rolling, it may be a hydrochloric acid pickling or sulfuric pickling. Furthermore, in order to accelerate the pickling, administration of chemical pickling accelerator pickling solution, or vibration-tension increase or decrease, even the addition of mechanical action, the underlying technology of the present invention no effect.
[0088]
 Cold rolling: reduction ratio of cold rolling is 20% or more, preferably not more than 80%. The rolling reduction is less than 20%, the load imparting at each stand of the tandem rolling mill is reduced, it becomes difficult to grasp and control of the plate-shaped, the productivity is reduced. Further, when the rolling reduction exceeds 80% load applied in each stand is significantly increased, due to this, since the Hertz stress generated in the roll increases excessively, leading to deterioration of the roll life, a decrease in productivity cause. Therefore, the rolling reduction is 20% or less is preferably 80%. More preferably 25% or more, 70% or less.
[0089]
 Hot-rolled sheet annealing step: a hot rolled strip prior to subjecting the cold rolling may be annealed. The purpose of the hot-rolled sheet annealing, before cold rolling by softening of the steel strip, ensuring productivity in cold rolling, and by the control of a tissue ratio in hot rolling plate stage after annealing, after cold-rolled sheet annealing it is an excellent demonstration of bending resistance of the steel strip. As a step of hot-rolled sheet annealing is box annealing (BAF) or conventional continuous annealing process (C-CAL) of either good. Box annealing (BAF) and ordinary continuous annealing method outline of steps (C-CAL) are shown in FIGS.
[0090]
 Heating and cooling rates in box annealing is, 5 ° C. / hr or higher, preferably 80 ° C. / hr. The heating rate is less than 5 ° C. / hr, the time required for hot-rolled sheet annealing step is increased, the productivity is reduced. On the other hand, when it exceeds heating rate 80 ° C. / hr, increased temperature difference between the inner and outer peripheral sides of the steel strip is wound into a coil, by the steel strip caused by thermal expansion difference between the difference by, resulting in scratches on the surface of the steel strip. This flaw, in addition to a decrease in the surface appearance of the product, lowering the bending resistance. Therefore, heating rate 5 ° C. / hr or higher, preferably not more than 80 ° C. / hr. More preferably 10 ° C. / sec or more and 60 ° C. / sec or less.
[0091]
 Annealing temperature is 400 ° C. or higher in the box annealing, 720 ° C. or less, the holding time is 1hr above, the following are preferred 150Hr. Annealing temperature is 400 ° C. or less than the retention time is less than 1hr, is not sufficient softening of the steel strip, there is no effect in improving the productivity in cold rolling. Further, if the annealing temperature exceeds 720 ° C., it becomes austenite formed during annealing, causing the generation of scratches on the steel strip due to thermal expansion changes. Furthermore, the retention time is more than 150Hr, the surface of the steel strip and adhesion, to produce a seizure, surface appearance is deteriorated. Therefore, the annealing temperature is 400 ° C. or higher in the box annealing, 720 ° C. or less, the holding time is 1hr above, the following are preferred 150Hr.

[0093]
 Continuous annealing temperature in the annealing 650 ° C. or higher, 900 ° C. or less, the holding time is 20 seconds or more, preferably 300 seconds or less. In less than 20 seconds annealing temperature is 650 ° C. or less than the retention time, not enough is softened in the strip in a continuous annealing process, there is no effect in improving the productivity in cold rolling. Further, if the annealing temperature exceeds 900 ° C., the strength of the steel strip is significantly reduced, lead to strip breakage in the furnace, causing a reduction in productivity. Further, when the holding time exceeds 300 seconds, the impurities in the furnace become attached to the surface of the steel strip, the surface appearance is deteriorated. Therefore, the annealing temperature is 650 ° C. or higher in the continuous annealing, 900 ° C. or less, the holding time is 20 seconds or more, preferably 300 seconds or less. More preferred annealing temperature is, 680 ° C. or higher, 850 ° C. or less, the holding time is 30 seconds or more, or less 240 seconds.
[0094]

The annealing temperature or the holding time of less than 700 ° C. of less than 20 seconds, the amount of austenite transformation during continuous annealing is not sufficient, in the subsequent quenching distribution processing, can not be controlled to a desired tissue ratio. Further, if the annealing temperature exceeds 900 ° C., the strength of the steel strip is significantly reduced, lead to strip breakage in the furnace, causing a reduction in productivity. Further, when the holding time exceeds 300 seconds, the impurities in the furnace become attached to the surface of the steel strip, the surface appearance is deteriorated. Therefore, the annealing temperature is 700 ° C. or higher in the continuous annealing, 900 ° C. or less, the holding time is 20 seconds or more, preferably 300 seconds or less. More preferred annealing temperature is, 720 ° C. or higher, 850 ° C. or less, the holding time is 30 seconds or more, or less 240 seconds.

In the course of this cooling, to transform the part of the austenite into martensite, it increases the strength of the steel. If the cooling stop temperature is lower than 100 ° C., transformation of the martensite becomes excessive, impairing the ductility and bending resistance of the steel. Therefore, the lower limit of the cooling stop temperature is preferably at least 100 ° C.. Cooling stop temperature exceeds the 340 ° C., or if the holding time is less than 5 seconds is not only obtained a small amount of martensite, it is difficult to increase the strength of steel. Therefore, the upper limit of the cooling stop temperature is 340 ° C. or less, the lower limit of the retention time is preferably 5 seconds or more. Further, even if held for more than 60 seconds, since a large organizational change does not occur, the upper limit of the retention time is preferably 60 seconds.

 thick each in the surface layer and the backing layer: 480 .mu.m (1/5 of thickness)
[0105]
 For each of the laminated steel sheets of Examples No.1 ~ 113, the hardness difference between the surface layer and the center layer, the hardness difference between the back layer and the central layer, the tensile strength, screw dislocation density, the flexural properties and fatigue resistance It was measured.
[0106]
 Fatigue resistance, as described above, to produce a Schenk-type test piece from each laminated steel, 10 at 0.5 times the applied stress of the tensile strength to the test piece 4 after giving bending or more repetitions plane, was performed by determining by strain gauge whether the fatigue fracture (fracture). Number of repetitions to failure is 10 4 If more than once ○ (pass), 10 4 in the following cases times was × (fail).
[0107]
