Title of invention: Steel sheet, method for manufacturing steel sheet and plated steel sheet
Technical field
[0001]
The present invention relates to a steel sheet, a method for manufacturing a steel sheet, and a plated steel sheet. More specifically, the present invention relates to a steel sheet having excellent workability, a method for producing a steel sheet, and a plated steel sheet, which are suitable as materials used for applications such as automobiles, home appliances, mechanical structures, and buildings.
This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-059420 filed in Japan on March 26, 2019, and the contents thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
Background technology
[0002]
Steel sheets used as materials for structural members of transportation machines such as automobiles and various industrial machines have various factors such as strength, workability such as elongation and stretch flangeability, low temperature toughness, and uniformity of their characteristics. Characteristics are required.
[0003]
In particular, steel sheets used for parts such as inner plate members, structural members, and suspension members of automobiles have stretch flangeability, burring workability, ductility, fatigue durability, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, etc., depending on the application. Desired. It is required for steel sheets used for the above-mentioned members to exhibit these material properties and high strength in a high-dimensional and well-balanced manner.
[0004]
Further, the steel plate used for the above-mentioned members needs to have the property of being hard to be broken even if it receives an impact such as a collision after being molded and attached to an automobile as a member of the member. In particular, in cold regions where the operating temperature is low, the members tend to become brittle, so it is necessary to improve the low temperature toughness of the steel sheet in order to ensure impact resistance.
[0005]
Low temperature toughness is a characteristic defined by vTrs (Charpy impact surface transition temperature) and the like. The thin steel sheet used for the parts of the above members is required to have not only excellent workability but also low temperature toughness as very important characteristics. Further, scratches and minute cracks may occur on the sheared surface and the punched end surface formed in the molding process of the component. When flaws and cracks occur on the sheared surface and the punched end surface, cracks may develop from the flaws and cracks and lead to fatigue fracture. Therefore, from the viewpoint of fatigue durability, it is required to suppress the occurrence of flaws and cracks on the sheared surface and the punched end surface. As the flaws and microcracks generated on the sheared surface and the punched end surface, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1, cracks generated in parallel with the plate thickness direction of the end surface are known, and these cracks are called "peeling".
[0006]
As a steel sheet that can obtain excellent ductility, a Dual Phase steel sheet (hereinafter referred to as DP steel) composed of a composite structure of a soft ferrite phase and a hard martensite phase is known. While the DP steel has excellent ductility, voids are generated from the interface between the ferrite phase and the martensite phase, which have significantly different hardness, and cracks occur, so that the hole expandability may be inferior.
[0007]
In Patent Document 2, by setting the area ratio to 90% or more for bainitic ferrite, 5% or less for martensite, and 5% or less for bainite, elongation and hole expandability (stretch flangeability) are improved. High-strength hot-rolled steel sheets having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more have been proposed. However, in the invention described in Patent Document 2, since bainitic ferrite is mainly used, sufficient elongation may not be obtained.
[0008]
In Patent Document 3, bainite is set to 90% or more in area ratio, and the balance is one or more matrix structures selected from martensite, austenite, and ferrite, and cementite dispersed in the structure. A hot-rolled steel sheet having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, which has improved hole expandability (duplex stainless steel) by controlling the content and the average particle size, has been proposed. However, in the invention described in Patent Document 3, since winding is performed at 330 to 470 ° C., which is a transition boiling region, characteristic variations may occur due to temperature variations in the plate surface.
[0009]
In Patent Document 4, the ferrite fraction is 50 to 95%, the fraction of the hard second phase composed of martensite and retained austenite is 5 to 50%, and the interrelationship between the contents of carbide-forming elements and A hot-rolled steel plate having excellent fatigue characteristics has been proposed, in which the relationship between the carbide-forming element and the C content is within a predetermined range, and the average particle size of the precipitate and the fraction of the precipitate are defined. However, in the invention described in Patent Document 4, since the strength is secured by strengthening the precipitation of fine carbides mainly of soft ferrite, sufficient low temperature toughness may not be obtained.
[0010]
In Patent Document 5, ferrite: 0 to 30%, bainite: 70 to 100%, and the ratio of crystal grains having a crystal orientation difference of 5 to 14 ° in the crystal grains to the total crystal grains is set within a specific range. , Excellent elongation flangeability and less peeling, which defines the total grain boundary number density of solid-dissolved C or solid-dissolved C and solid-dissolved B, and the average grain size of cementite deposited at the grain boundaries. Has been proposed. However, Patent Document 5 does not consider the low temperature toughness required for impact resistance.

Therefore, the REM content is preferably 0.0100% or less. The REM content is more preferably 0.0050% or less, still more preferably 0.0030% or less.
Here, REM (rare earth) refers to a total of 17 elements consisting of Sc, Y and lanthanoids. In this embodiment, the REM content refers to the total content of these elements.
[0039]
(Bi: 0-0.0200%)
Bi is an arbitrary element. Bi has the effect of refining the solidified structure and improving the formability of the steel sheet. In order to surely obtain this effect, the Bi content is preferably 0.0001% or more. The Bi content is more preferably 0.0005% or more. On the other hand, if the Bi content exceeds 0.0200%, the above effect is saturated and the alloy cost increases. Therefore, the Bi content is preferably 0.0200% or less. It is more preferably 0.0100% or less, and even more preferably 0.0070% or less.
[0040]
The chemical composition of the above-mentioned steel sheet may be measured by a general analysis method. For example, ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrum) may be used for measurement. In addition, C and S may be measured by using the combustion-infrared absorption method, and N may be measured by using the inert gas melting-thermal conductivity method. When the surface is provided with a zinc-plated layer, the surface zinc-plated layer may be removed by mechanical grinding, and then the chemical composition may be analyzed.
[0041]
Next, the metallographic structure of the steel sheet will be described. The steel plate according to the present embodiment has a total area fraction of tempered martensite and tempered bainite of 10% or more and 100% or less at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface, and the area fraction of ferrite is 0% or more and 90% or less, the area fraction of retained austenite is 0% or more and less than 4%, and the total area fraction of retained austenite, fresh martensite, cementite and pearlite is 0% or more and 10% or less. The average crystal grain size is 15.0 μm or less, the total grain boundary number density of solid solution C and solid solution B is 1.0 piece / nm 2 or more and 12.0 pieces / nm 2 or less, and the central portion of the plate thickness. The total of the extreme densities of {211} <011> and {332} <113> is 12.0 or less. Hereinafter, each requirement will be described in detail.
[0042]
The steel plate according to the present embodiment has a total area fraction of "tempering martensite and tempered bainite", an area fraction of retained austenite, and "retained austenite" at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate. , Fresh martensite, cementite and pearlite ”total area fraction, average grain size, and total grain boundary number density of solid solution C and solid solution B are controlled within a predetermined range. Here, what defines the steel structure at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel sheet is that this depth position is the midpoint between the surface of the steel plate and the center position of the plate thickness, other than the aggregate structure. This is because the steel structure at the position represents the steel structure of the steel sheet (indicating the average steel structure of the entire steel sheet).
[0043]
(Total area fraction of tempered martensite and tempered bainite: 10-100%)
Compared to fresh martensite and bainite, tempered martensite and bainite are less likely to crack and are rich in ductility and toughness, so they are excellent in strength, elongation, elongation flangeability and low temperature toughness. Therefore, it is an essential metal structure in the steel sheet according to the present embodiment. If the total surface integral of the tempered martensite and the tempered bainite is less than 10%, it becomes difficult to obtain the desired strength. Therefore, the total surface integral ratio of tempered martensite and tempered bainite shall be 10% or more. It is preferably 20% or more, more preferably 30% or more. The larger the total surface integral of the tempered martensite and the tempered bainite, the higher the strength is obtained, which is preferable. Therefore, the total surface integral of these may be 100%.
[0044]
(Surface integral of ferrite: 0 to 90%)
Ferrite may be contained in order to improve the balance between strength and ductility. If the surface integral of ferrite exceeds 90%, it becomes difficult to obtain the desired strength. Therefore, the surface integral of ferrite is set to 90% or less. The surface integral of ferrite is preferably less than 85%. Since the steel sheet according to the present embodiment can solve the problem even when ferrite is not contained, the surface integral of ferrite may be 0%.
[0045]
(Surface integral of retained austenite: 0% or more and less than 4%)
(Total surface integral of retained austenite, fresh martensite, cementite and pearlite: 0-10%)
Residual austenite, fresh martensite, cementite and pearlite serve as crack starting points and reduce the stretch flangeability and low temperature toughness of the steel sheet. Therefore, the total surface integral of retained austenite, fresh martensite, cementite and pearlite shall be 10% or less. It is preferably 8% or less, more preferably 5% or less. Since the steel sheet according to the present embodiment can solve the problem even when these metal structures are not contained, the total surface integral of these metal structures may be 0%.
In addition, of these metal structures, retained austenite is transformed into extremely hard fresh martensite by preprocessing such as punching, which significantly deteriorates the stretch flangeability of the steel sheet. Therefore, the surface integral of retained austenite is less than 4%. It is preferably 3% or less, more preferably 2% or less, still more preferably less than 2%, still more preferably 1% or less. Since it is preferable that the surface integral of the retained austenite is small, the surface integral may be 0%.
[0046]
(Average crystal grain size: 15.0 μm or less)
If the block diameter of tempered martensite and tempered bainite and the average crystal grain size of ferrite are coarse, the fracture surface unit at the time of fracture becomes large and the low temperature toughness of the steel plate decreases. Therefore, the average crystal grain size is 15.0 μm or less. The average crystal grain size is preferably 12.0 μm or less, more preferably 10.0 μm or less, and even more preferably 7.0 μm or less. The smaller the average crystal grain size, the more preferable, so the lower limit is not particularly limited. However, in ordinary hot rolling, it is technically difficult to make the particles finer so that the average crystal grain size is less than 1.0 μm. Therefore, the average crystal grain size may be 1.0 μm or more and 4.0 μm or more.
[0047]
In the present embodiment, the average crystal grain size is surrounded by grain boundaries having a crystal structure of bcc, that is, ferrite, tempered bainite, tempered martensite, fresh martensite, and pearlite with a crystal orientation difference of 15 ° or more. Moreover, it means the average value of the crystal grain size in which the region having a diameter equivalent to a circle of 0.3 μm or more is defined as the crystal grain, and the crystal grain size of retained austenite and cementite is not included in the average crystal grain size.
[0048]
In the present embodiment, the average crystal grain size and the area fraction of each structure are obtained for the structure of the steel plate cross section parallel to the rolling direction and the plate thickness direction at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate.
The average crystal grain size, ferrite area fraction and residual austenite area fraction were determined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and EBSD (SEM) observation using an EBSD analyzer composed of a thermal electric field radiation scanning electron microscope and an EBSD detector. It is obtained by Electron Backscattering Diffraction (electron backscatter diffraction method) analysis. Crystal orientation information is obtained by distinguishing fcc and bcc from the surface of the steel sheet in a region of 200 μm in the rolling direction centered on the 1/4 depth position of the plate thickness and 100 μm in the plate thickness direction at 0.2 μm intervals. Using the software attached to the EBSD analyzer (“OIM Analysis (registered trademark)” manufactured by AMETEK, Inc.), the crystal grain boundaries having a crystal orientation difference of 15 ° or more are specified. The average crystal grain size of bcc is surrounded by crystal grain boundaries having a crystal orientation difference of 15 ° or more, and a region having a diameter equivalent to a circle of 0.3 μm or more is defined as a crystal grain, and the method using the following [Equation 1] is used. Obtained by. However, in the following formula, D is the average crystal grain size, N is the number of crystal grains contained in the evaluation region of the average crystal grain size, and Ai is the i-th (i = 1, 2, ..., N) crystal grains. The area and di indicate the circle-equivalent diameter of the i-th crystal grain.
[0049]
[Number 1]
[0050]
The grain boundaries having a crystal orientation difference of 15 ° or more are mainly the block boundaries of ferrite grain boundaries, tempered martensite, and tempered bainite. In the ferrite grain size measurement method according to JIS G 0552: 2013, the grain size may be calculated even for ferrite grains with a crystal orientation difference of less than 15 °, and tempered martensite or baking may be performed. Return bainite blocks are not calculated. Therefore, as the average crystal grain size in this embodiment, the value obtained by EBSD analysis as described above is adopted.
[0051]
The surface integral of the retained austenite is obtained by calculating the surface integral of the metal structure determined to be fcc by EBSD analysis.
The area fraction of ferrite is defined as a region surrounded by grain boundaries with a crystal orientation difference of 5 ° or more and a diameter equivalent to a circle of 0.3 μm or more as a crystal grain, and is defined as OIM Analysis in the crystal grain. The area fraction of the ferrite is obtained by calculating the area fraction of the crystal grains whose value (GAM value) obtained by the equipped Grain Average Missionation analysis is 0.5 ° or less. The reason why the boundary with a crystal orientation difference of 5 ° or more is defined as a grain boundary when determining the surface integral of ferrite is that different structures generated by variants close to the same old austenite grain may not be distinguishable. ..
[0052]
The surface integrals of pearlite and cementite can be obtained by observing the metallographic structure exposed by Nital corrosion by SEM observation.
For the area fraction of fresh martensite, the total area fraction of fresh martensite and retained austenite was obtained by observing MA (Martensite-Austenite Constant) that appeared due to repera corrosion with an optical microscope, and this total area fraction was obtained. It is obtained by subtracting the area fraction of the retained austenite obtained by the above method from.
[0053]
The surface integral ratio may be obtained by image analysis or by a point calculation method. For example, pearlite and cementite can be obtained by observing 3 or more fields of view (100 μm × 100 μm / field of view) at a magnification of 1000 times in a region at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel sheet, and using a point calculation method with a grid spacing of 5 μm. It's okay. In addition, the total area fraction of fresh martensite and retained austenite was observed at a magnification of 500 times or more (200 μm × 200 μm / field of view) in the region at a depth of 1/4 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel sheet. It may be obtained by a point calculation method having a grid spacing of 5 μm.
[0054]
The total area fraction of tempered martensite and tempered bainite is calculated by subtracting the total area fraction of ferrite, pearlite, retained austenite, cementite and fresh martensite from 100%.
[0055]
(Total grain boundary number density of solid solution C and solid solution B: 1.0 to 12.0 pieces / nm 2)
By setting the grain boundary number densities of the solid solution C and the solid solution B to 1.0 piece / nm 2 or more, the occurrence of peeling during punching or shearing is suppressed. It is presumed that this is because the solid solution C and the solid solution B strengthen the grain boundaries. When the grain boundary number densities of the solid solution C and the solid solution B exceed 12.0 / nm 2, the effect of suppressing the occurrence of peeling is saturated. Further, coarse cementite is deposited and the hole expanding property of the steel sheet is lowered. Therefore, the total grain boundary number density of the solid solution C and the solid solution B is 1.0 to 12.0 / nm 2. In order to further improve the peeling resistance, the total grain boundary number density of the solid solution C and the solid solution B is preferably 2.0 pieces / nm 2 or more. Further, in order to suppress the precipitation of coarse cementite and more reliably suppress the deterioration of the hole expanding property, the total grain boundary number density of the solid solution C and the solid solution B is 10.0 pieces / nm 2 or less. It is preferable to do so.
[0056]
The grain boundary number densities of the solid solution C and the solid solution B are measured by using the three-dimensional atom probe method. In 1988, A. of Oxford University. The position-sensitive atom probe (PoSAP: positionsensitive atom probe) developed by Cerezo et al. Incorporates a position-sensitive detector (positionsensitive detector) into the detector of the atom probe, and the detector does not use an aperture for analysis. It is a device that can measure the flight time and position of the reached atom at the same time. Using this device, all the constituent elements in the alloy existing on the surface of the sample can be displayed as a two-dimensional map with spatial resolution at the atomic level. Further, by evaporating the surface of the sample one atomic layer at a time using the electric field evaporation phenomenon, the two-dimensional map can be expanded in the depth direction and displayed and analyzed as a three-dimensional map.
[0057]
For the observation of the grain boundary, FB2000A manufactured by Hitachi, Ltd. is used as a focused ion beam (FIB) device, and when the cut out sample is made into a needle shape by electrolytic polishing, the grain boundary portion is formed with an arbitrary shape scanning beam. Is the tip of the needle. In this way, a needle-shaped sample for PoSAP including a grain boundary portion is prepared. Then, by utilizing the fact that contrast is generated in crystal grains having different orientations due to the channeling phenomenon of a scanning ion microscope (SIM), the grain boundaries are specified while observing the needle-shaped sample for PoSAP, and the grain boundaries are cut with an ion beam. do. The device used as the three-dimensional atom probe is an OTAP manufactured by CAMECA, and the measurement conditions are that the temperature at the sample position is about 70 K, the total probe voltage is 10 kV to 15 kV, and the pulse ratio is 25%. Then, the grain boundaries and the inside of the grains of each sample are measured three times, and the average value is used as a representative value. In this way, the solid solution C and the solid solution B existing in the grain boundaries and grains are measured.
[0058]
The value obtained by removing background noise etc. from the measured value is defined as the atomic density per unit grain boundary area, and this is defined as the grain boundary number density (pieces / nm 2). Therefore, the solid solution C existing at the grain boundary is the C atom existing at the grain boundary, and the solid solution B existing at the grain boundary is the B atom existing at the grain boundary. In the present embodiment, the total grain boundary number density of the solid solution C and the solid solution B is the total number of the solid solution C and the solid solution B existing per the grain boundary unit area. This value is the sum of the measured values of the solid solution C and the solid solution B.
[0059]
The steel plate according to the present embodiment defines the total of the extreme densities of {211} <011> and {332} <113> at the center of the thickness of the steel plate. In the present embodiment, the plate thickness center portion is in the range of about 1/10 of the plate thickness in the front and back directions of the steel plate from the plate thickness center position (position at a depth of 1/2 of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate). Means. For example, when the plate thickness of the steel plate is 2 mm, the plate thickness center portion means a range of about 100 μm in the front direction and the back direction with the plate thickness center position as a boundary.
[0060]
The reason for defining the texture in the center of the plate thickness is that the texture in the center of the plate thickness and the mechanical properties are well correlated. The reason for this is not clear, but the present inventors speculate as follows. Friction between the roll and the steel sheet during rolling causes shear deformation in the opposite direction on the front and back of the steel sheet, and planar strain deformation occurs at the center of the sheet thickness. The texture of the steel sheet changes in the plate thickness direction with this deformation, and the direction of shear deformation is opposite on the front and back of the steel plate, so that the texture also develops symmetrical directions on the front and back. Therefore, as a result of canceling out the influence of the texture on the mechanical properties on the front and back, the texture at the center of the plate thickness and the mechanical properties correspond well.
[0061]
(Total of extreme densities of {211} <011> and {332} <113> in the center of plate thickness: 12.0 or less)
With the development of {211} <011> and {332} <113>, the stretch flangeability of the steel sheet is significantly reduced. Further, the present inventors have found that when the total of the extreme densities of {211} <011> and {332} <113> becomes high, peeling of the punched end face is likely to occur. The reason is not clear, but when these extreme densities develop, the metallographic structure is often flat, which facilitates the propagation of cracks generated from inclusions and the interface of the metallographic structure. Is presumed to be related. Therefore, the total of the extreme densities of {211} <011> and {332} <113> is set to 12.0 or less. The total of the extreme densities of {211} <011> and {332} <113> is more preferably 10.0 or less. The smaller the total of the polar densities is, the more preferable it is, but it is more preferable to set the total pole densities to a value close to 2.0 because the respective polar densities are 1.0 when there is no texture.
The extreme density can be obtained from the crystal orientation information by the EBSD method, but it is synonymous with the X-ray random intensity ratio.
[0062]
Note that {hkl} represents a crystal plane parallel to the rolling plane, and represents a crystal plane parallel to the rolling direction. That is, {hkl} means a crystal in which {hkl} is oriented in the plate normal direction and is oriented in the rolling direction.
[0063]
Further, in the present embodiment, the extreme density of each crystal orientation in the central portion of the plate thickness is determined by EBSD analysis using a device combining a scanning electron microscope and an EBSD analyzer and OIM Analysis (registered trademark) manufactured by AMETEK. , Fcc and bcc in the center of the plate thickness (range from the center position of the plate thickness (1/2 depth position of the plate thickness from the surface of the steel plate) to the front and back directions of the steel plate, respectively). In distinction from the above, the crystal grain orientation information of 1000 or more bcc is measured and obtained by ODF analysis using a series expansion method (harmonic series expansion).
[0064]
(Tensile strength: 780 MPa or more)
The steel sheet according to the present embodiment has high strength and excellent low temperature toughness, elongation and elongation flangeability by controlling the metal structure and the texture. However, if the tensile strength of the steel sheet is small, the effects of reducing the weight of the vehicle body and improving the rigidity are small. Therefore, the tensile strength (TS) of the steel sheet according to this embodiment is set to 780 MPa or more. Although the upper limit is not particularly specified, the tensile strength may be 1800 MPa or less, 1500 MPa or less, and 1300 MPa or less because press molding becomes difficult as the strength increases.
[0065]
The elongation of the steel sheet is evaluated by the total elongation at break (El) specified in JIS Z 2241: 2011 using the No. 5 test piece of JIS Z 2241: 2011, and TS × which is an index of the balance between strength and elongation. El is preferably 12000 MPa ·% or more, and more preferably 13000 MPa ·% or more.
The stretch flangeability of the steel sheet is evaluated by the hole expansion ratio (λ) specified in JIS Z 2256: 2010, and TS × λ, which is an index of the balance between strength and stretch flangeability, is 50,000 MPa ·% or more. It is preferably 55,000 MPa ·% or more, and more preferably 55,000 MPa ·% or more.
The low temperature toughness of the steel sheet is preferably such that the fracture surface transition temperature (vTrs) in the Charpy impact test specified in JIS Z 2242: 2005 is −40 ° C. or lower.
[0066]
The reason for limiting the manufacturing conditions of the steel sheet according to this embodiment will be explained.
The present inventors have confirmed that the steel sheet according to the present embodiment can be obtained by a manufacturing method including the following hot rolling and cooling.
[0067]
First, a slab having the above-mentioned chemical composition is subjected to multi-pass hot rolling using a plurality of rolling stands to manufacture a hot-rolled steel sheet. The slab to be subjected to hot rolling may be obtained by continuous casting or casting / slab rolling, but may be obtained by adding hot working or cold working to them. Multi-pass hot rolling can be performed using a levers mill or a tandem mill, but from the viewpoint of industrial productivity, it is preferable to use a tandem mill for at least the final several stages.
[0068]
(Heating temperature in hot rolling: 1200 to 1350 ° C)
If the temperature of the slab or steel piece used for hot rolling is less than 1200 ° C, the solution of Ti carbide becomes insufficient, the strength and workability of the steel sheet are lowered, and peeling is likely to occur. The temperature of the slab or steel piece to be subjected to hot rolling is preferably 1240 ° C. or higher, more preferably 1260 ° C. or higher. On the other hand, when the temperature of the slab or steel piece to be subjected to hot rolling exceeds 1350 ° C., a thick scale is generated and causes a decrease in yield, or when the slab or steel piece is heated in a heating furnace, the heating furnace is significantly damaged. May be given. Therefore, the temperature of the slab or steel piece to be subjected to hot rolling is set to 1350 ° C. or lower. Hot pressure The temperature of the slab or steel piece to be rolled is preferably 1300 ° C. or lower.
The temperature of the slab or steel piece to be subjected to hot rolling may be in the above temperature range, and after the steel ingot or steel piece having a temperature of less than 1200 ° C. is charged into a heating furnace and heated to the above temperature range. In addition to the case of hot rolling, the slab obtained by continuous casting or the steel piece obtained by slabbing may be subjected to hot rolling without heat treatment while maintaining a high temperature state of 1200 ° C. or higher.
[0069]
(Total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT + 50 ° C or higher and FT + 150 ° C: 50% or more)
In the present embodiment, the recrystallized austenite grains in the steel sheet are miniaturized by increasing the total reduction rate of hot rolling in the temperature range of FT + 50 ° C. and FT + 150 ° C., where the finishing temperature is FT in the unit ° C. In order to make the recrystallized austenite grains in the steel sheet finer, the total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT + 50 ° C. or higher and FT + 150 ° C. is 50% or more. If the total reduction rate in the above temperature range is less than 50%, the austenite is not sufficiently miniaturized, so that the metal structure after transformation becomes coarse and the rolling paths during rolling in the subsequent temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C. Due to the delay in recrystallization, the texture after transformation develops. The higher the total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT + 50 ° C. or higher and FT + 150 ° C. is preferable, but industrially, the limit is about 90%, so it may be 90% or less.
[0070]
(Total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C: 40 to 80%)
(Time required for rolling between FT and FT + 50 ° C: 0.5 to 10.0 seconds)
In the present embodiment, by appropriately controlling the total rolling reduction in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C. and the time required for rolling, in combination with the cooling conditions after hot rolling described later, the workability and toughness are improved. An excellent steel plate can be obtained.
When the total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C. is less than 40%, the structure after transformation becomes coarse, recrystallization between rolling passes and after rolling finish is delayed, and the amount of deformation inside the steel sheet becomes non-uniform. As a specific orientation develops after transformation, the stretch flangeability of the steel sheet deteriorates. Therefore, the total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C. is 40% or more. On the other hand, when the total reduction rate in the above temperature range exceeds 80%, the texture is remarkably developed even if it is recrystallized, so that the stretch flangeability of the steel sheet is lowered. Therefore, the total reduction rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C. is 80% or less.
[0071]
In this embodiment, it is also important to appropriately control the time required for rolling in the above temperature range. If the time required for rolling in the above temperature range is too short, recrystallization does not proceed between the paths and rolling strain is excessively accumulated, and it becomes difficult to obtain a desired texture due to the development of a specific orientation. Therefore, the time required for rolling in the above temperature range is set to 0.5 seconds or more. It is preferably 1.0 second or longer, and more preferably 2.0 seconds or longer. On the other hand, if the time required for rolling in the above temperature range is too long, recrystallized grains will grow between rolling passes, and the structure after transformation will be coarse. Therefore, the time required for rolling in the above temperature range is set to 10.0 seconds or less. It is preferably 8.0 seconds or less, more preferably 6.0 seconds or less, and even more preferably 5.0 seconds or less.
[0072]
Since it is important to repeat processing and recrystallization in any of rolling in the temperature range of FT + 50 ° C or higher and FT + 150 ° C or lower, and rolling in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C, it is important to repeat processing and recrystallization. Roll for 3 passes or more. From the viewpoint of suppressing the development of the texture of the steel sheet, the maximum reduction rate per pass in the temperature range of FT + 50 ° C. or higher and FT + 150 ° C. or lower is preferably 60% or less, more preferably 55% or less. The maximum reduction rate per pass in the temperature range of FT to FT + 50 ° C. is preferably 50% or less, more preferably 45% or less, still more preferably 40% or less, and most preferably 35% or less.
[0073]
The total rolling reduction rate is the total rolling reduction amount in this temperature range (the thickness of the inlet plate before the first pass in rolling in this temperature range) based on the inlet plate thickness before the first pass in a predetermined temperature range. It is a percentage of the difference from the outlet plate thickness after the final pass in rolling in this temperature range.
[0074]
(Average cooling rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 100 ° C: 6.0 ° C / sec or more)
The temperature of the steel sheet during hot rolling changes due to heat generated by rolling and heat removal due to contact with the roll. In this embodiment, the average cooling rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 100 ° C. is appropriately controlled. , A steel plate having excellent peeling resistance can be obtained. When the steel sheet stays in the low temperature range of finish rolling for a long time, carbides and nitrides are work-induced and precipitated, and the strength is reduced, and the grain boundary number densities of solid solution C and solid solution B are reduced to suppress peeling. It will be difficult. Therefore, the average cooling rate in the temperature range of FT to FT + 100 ° C. is 6.0 ° C./sec or more. It is preferably 9.0 ° C./sec or higher, more preferably 12.0 ° C./sec or higher, and even more preferably 15.0 ° C./sec or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but a sudden temperature change is preferably 50 ° C./sec or less, more preferably 40 ° C./sec or less, and 30 ° C./sec or less, because the plate-passability is lowered by remarkably fluctuating the deformation resistance. It is more preferably ° C./sec or less, and even more preferably 20 ° C./sec or less.
[0075]
The average cooling rate in the above temperature range is controlled by controlling the processing heat generation by controlling the rolling speed and the rolling rate, and the contact heat removal between the steel sheet and the roll. Further, if necessary, it is controlled by performing water cooling or induction heating. The average cooling rate in the above temperature range is obtained by measuring the surface temperature of the steel sheet with a radiation thermometer or the like, or by simulation when the measurement is difficult.
[0076]
(Finishing temperature FT: Ar 3 or more obtained by the following formula (1), TR or more obtained by the following formula (2), and 1100 ° C or less)
Ar 3 (° C.) = 901-325 x [C] +33 x [Si] -92 x [Mn] +287 x [P] +40 x [sol. Al] (1)
TR (° C) = 800 + 700 x [Ti] + 1000 x [Nb] (2)
However, the [element symbol] in the above formulas (1) and (2) indicates the content of each element in mass%, and if it is not contained, 0 is substituted.
In this embodiment, by repeating the processing and recrystallization of the austenite phase during finish rolling, the metal structure is miniaturized and the development of the texture is suppressed. Therefore, the finishing temperature FT is Ar 3 or more obtained by the above formula (1) and TR or more obtained by the above formula (2). Here, the finishing temperature FT refers to the surface temperature of the steel sheet immediately after the final rolling.
[0077]
If the FT is less than Ar 3, ferrite transformation progresses during finish rolling and processed ferrite is generated, which reduces the elongation and stretch flangeability of the steel sheet. Further, when the FT is less than TR, the austenite after hot rolling and before cooling becomes remarkably flat, and in the final product steel sheet, the structure is elongated in the rolling direction and the plastic anisotropy is increased, so that the steel sheet is elongated. And the stretch flangeability is reduced. By setting the FT to TR or higher, recrystallization of processed austenite between rolling passes can be appropriately promoted, and recrystallized austenite grains can be made finer. In combination with the cooling conditions of the above, a steel sheet having a steel structure and an aggregate structure suitable for low temperature toughness and elongation and flangeability can be obtained. The FT is preferably TR + 20 ° C. or higher, more preferably TR + 40 ° C. or higher. Further, the finishing temperature FT is preferably more than 900 ° C.
[0078]
On the other hand, if the FT exceeds 1100 ° C., the structure becomes coarse and the low temperature toughness of the steel sheet decreases. Therefore, the FT is set to 1100 ° C. or lower. It is preferably 1080 ° C. or lower, more preferably 1060 ° C. or lower.
The temperature during finish rolling refers to the surface temperature of the steel material and can be measured with a radiation thermometer or the like.
[0079]
(Time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of water cooling: within 3.0 seconds)
After the finish rolling is completed, water cooling will be started within 3.0 seconds in order to make the metal structure finer by utilizing the strain accumulated by rolling. This water cooling may be performed in a plurality of stages. If the time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of water cooling exceeds 3.0 seconds, the strain in austenite will be restored and it will be difficult to obtain the desired structure. The time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of water cooling is preferably within 2.0 seconds, more preferably within 1.0 second, and even more preferably within 0.5 seconds. The time from the completion of the finish rolling to the start of water cooling is preferably 0.05 seconds or more in order to recrystallize the austenite after the completion of the finish rolling.
[0080] [0080]
(Average cooling rate in the temperature range of FT to 750 ° C: 30 ° C / sec or more)
Controlling the average cooling rate when cooling from the temperature at which finish rolling is completed (finishing temperature: FT (° C.)) to 750 ° C. is important for obtaining the desired metallographic structure. In calculating the average cooling rate, the time includes the time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of water cooling. If the average cooling rate in the above temperature range is less than 30 ° C./sec, it becomes difficult to form fine structures, ferrite and pearlite are precipitated in the cooling process, and the stretch flangeability and low temperature toughness of the steel sheet are lowered. In addition, the grain boundary number densities of the solid solution C and the solid solution B decrease, making it difficult to suppress peeling. Therefore, the average cooling rate in the above temperature range is set to 30 ° C./sec or more. It is preferably 40 ° C./sec or higher, more preferably 50 ° C./sec or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably 300 ° C./sec or less, more preferably 200 ° C./sec or less, and 150 ° C./sec or less from the viewpoint of suppressing plate warpage due to thermal strain. It is more preferably 110 ° C./sec or less.
[0081]
By rapidly cooling the high temperature region after finishing rolling in the temperature range of FT to 750 ° C., the metal structure can be further miniaturized and the low temperature toughness of the steel sheet is further improved. For that purpose, after the finish rolling is completed, water cooling is started within 0.3 seconds, the average cooling rate of FT to 750 ° C is set to 30 ° C / sec or more, and in addition, it is from FT to FT-40 ° C. The average cooling rate is preferably 100 ° C./sec or higher. In this case, it does not prevent the water cooling from being performed in a step for quenching in the temperature range of FT to FT-40 ° C. and a plurality of cooling steps for subsequent cooling. If the average cooling rate of FT to FT-40 ° C is less than 100 ° C / sec, the above effect becomes difficult to obtain. The average cooling rate from FT to FT-40 ° C. is preferably 120 ° C./sec or higher, more preferably 150 ° C./sec or higher. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1000 ° C./sec or less from the viewpoint of suppressing temperature variation in the steel sheet.
[0082]
The above-mentioned rapid cooling in the high temperature region (cooling at FT to FT-40 ° C.) after the completion of finish rolling is not limited to after the final stand of finish rolling, but may be performed between rolling stands. That is, it may not be rolled on the stand after rapid cooling, or it may be rolled with a rolling reduction of 8% or less for the purpose of shape correction, cooling control, and the like. In this case, rolling after quenching is not included in the finish rolling process.
[0083]
(Stay time at 750-600 ° C: 20 seconds or less)
When the hot-rolled steel sheet after finish rolling reaches the temperature range of 750 to 600 ° C, the transformation from austenite to ferrite becomes active. Therefore, a desired ferrite surface integral can be obtained by adjusting the residence time in the above temperature range. In order to precipitate more ferrite for the purpose of improving ductility, it is preferable to stay in the above temperature range for 5 seconds or longer. If the residence time in the above temperature range exceeds 20 seconds, ferrite is excessively precipitated, pearlite and cementite are precipitated, and the grain boundary number densities of solid solution C and solid solution B are reduced, resulting in peeling. May occur. Therefore, the staying time in the above temperature range is set to 20 seconds or less. It is preferably 17 seconds or less, more preferably 14 seconds or less.
