However, the steel sheet has a disadvantage in that this limited use as a hot press forming steel than the yield strength and automotive structural member for the tensile strength is low impact properties to heat.
[12]
On the other hand, Patent Document 2 has been proposed the case of C and Mn of 0.4 ~ 0.7%, was added to 12 ~ 24% in tensile strength and impact properties, with excellent ultra-high strength steel plate having a yield strength of at least 1000MPa than 1300MPa. However, the steel sheet has an elongation is low then cold press is limited to the to the molding manufacture of parts of a complicated shape with, the process step of securing the ultra-high strength by the re-rolling after annealing possible bar, the process process to around 10%, and there is a disadvantage that the manufacturing cost increases.
[13]
[14]
Thus, while replacing the steel sheet for hot press forming, as well as additional strength and ductility without the process, the development of a steel sheet having the collision characteristics with excellent yield strength ratio is desired.

For this purpose a preferable to add Si to 0.1% or more, when the content exceeds 2.0%, the silicon oxide formed in a large amount at the time of hot rolling surface and decrease the pickling performance, by increasing the electrical resistivity is the weldability is inferior there is a problem.
[51]
Therefore, in the present invention it is preferred to limit the content of Si to 0.1 to 2.0%.
[52]
[53]
Mn: 10 ~ 25%
[54]
Manganese (Mn), while inhibiting the transformation of ferrite, an effective element for the formation and stabilization of the retained austenite. When adding such a Mn of less than 10% is insufficient in stability of the retained austenite, and results in a decrease of mechanical properties, whereas the problem that the content is when it is greater than 25% results in an increase in alloy cost and that the weldability decreases of a.
[55]
Therefore, in the present invention it is preferable to limit the content of Mn of 10 to 25%.
[56]
[57]
P: 0.05% or less (excluding 0%)
[58]
Phosphorus (P) is a solid solution strengthening element and, when its content exceeds 0.05%, weldability is degraded, so the problem increases the risk of embrittlement caused this course is preferably limited to the upper limit as 0.05%. And more preferably it is preferably limited to not more than 0.02%.
[59]
[60]
S: 0.02% or less (excluding 0%)
[61]
Sulfur (S) is an impurity element contained inevitably in steel, is an element which inhibits the ductility and weldability of the steel sheet. When the content of S exceeds 0.02%, this becomes a high potential to inhibit the ductility and weldability of the steel sheet, it is preferable to limit the upper limit as 0.02%.
[62]
[63]
Al: 4% or less (excluding 0%)
[64]
Aluminum (Al), but is an element that is added for deoxidation of ordinary river, in the present invention serves to increase the stacking fault energy and improves the ductility lecture in delayed fracture properties. When the content of the Al exceeds 4%, the tensile strength is lowered river, the sound is difficult to slabs produced by a reaction with a casting mold when the positive and there is a problem that to form surface oxides inhibit the plating property.
[65]
Therefore, in the present invention it is preferred to limit the content of Al to less than 4%, 0% is excluded.
[66]
[67]
V: 0.7% or less (excluding 0%)
[68]
Vanadium (V) is as an element that forms a carbon-nitride react with carbon or nitrogen, in the present invention plays an important role in increasing the yield strength of the river to form a fine precipitate at a low temperature. When the content of V exceeds 0.7%, this is burnt, this action of the nitride at high temperature is formed, there is a problem that the hot workability is reduced, lowering the yield strength of the river.
[69]
Thus, the present invention, preferable to limit the content of the V to less than 0.7%, 0% is excluded.
[70]
[71]
Mo: 0.5% or less (excluding 0%)
[72]
Molybdate modem (Mo) acts as an element for forming a carbide, by minutely maintain the carbon, the size of the nitride forming elements and the composite addition of precipitates such as V improves the yield strength and tensile strength. However, if its content exceeds 0.5%, the effect is saturated and the above-described, but rather there is a problem that causes an increase in manufacturing costs.
[73]
Thus, the present invention, preferable to limit the content of Mo to 0.5% or less, 0% is excluded.
[74]
[75]
N: 0.02% or less (excluding 0%)
[76]
Nitrogen (N) is the slowing or a solid solution strengthening element, that when the content exceeds 0.02%, large and the risk of embrittlement occurs, the performance by excessive precipitation of AlN in combination with Al quality.
[77]
Therefore, in the present invention, it is preferable to limit the upper limit of N to 0.02%.
[78]
[79]
The present invention may further comprise the following components in addition to the aforementioned components.
[80]
[81]
The present invention specifically is titanium (Ti): may further include at least one selected from 0.005 ~ 0.5% 0.005 to 0.1% of niobium (Nb): 0.005% to 0.1%, and tungsten (W).
[82]
The titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), tungsten (W), in combination with the carbon of the steel as an element effective for precipitation strengthening of the steel sheet, and grain refinement, it is preferable that each added in 0.005% or more in order to sufficiently ensure this. However, if the Ti and Nb exceed 0.1%, respectively, or, in the case of W is saturated and the effect described above when it exceeds 0.5%, there is a problem that increases the alloy cost, the precipitate is formed in the over-the C concentration in the steel as the reduction has a problem that the strength and ductility disadvantage.
[83]
[84]

[85]
The nickel complex acting as (Ni), copper (Cu) and chromium (Cr) is an element contributing to the stabilization of retained austenite, the above-described C, Si, Mn, Al and contributes to the stabilization of austenite.
[86]
However, there is a problem that the content is the case of Ni and Cr exceed 1% respectively, and increased manufacturing costs are excessive When more than 0.5% of Cu. Among them, Cu as it may result in embrittlement during hot rolling, it is more preferable to be added together upon addition of Cu Ni.
[87]
[88]
The remaining components of the invention are iron (Fe). However, in the conventional manufacturing process it is not intended from the raw material or the environment, because impurities may be unavoidably incorporated, it is impossible to exclude them. These impurities are, because you know if anyone skilled in the normal manufacturing process does not specifically mention that all the contents herein.
[89]
[90]
Steel sheet of the present invention having the above-described alloy composition preferably comprises as a main phase to the austenite phase in the microstructure.
[91]
More preferably, made up of the steel sheet of the invention is not less than the value of X represented by the following relation 140 stable austenite single-phase, metastable of the X value is 40, the area fraction of at least 50% less than (including 100%) it is made of austenite and ferrite are preferable.
[92]
Here, the stable austenite phase is stable organizations that do not have a (phase) transformation occurs for external modification (e.g., processing and tensile strain and the like), the metastable austenite phase is the structural transformation is taking place the (phase) to the outer deformation . Preferably, the metastable austenite phase can be transformed into lesser organization such as α'- martensite or martensite ε- against external deformation. The stability is advantageous in the austenite phase and the metastable austenite phase both ultra-high strength obtained.
[93]
In the present invention, if the X value is less than 40, the metastable austenite phase the night mechanical properties aimed by securing a 50% or more fraction (ultra-high strength, ductility and impact properties, etc.) can be excellently secured both. The metastable austenite phase is preferably a phase transformation occurs at least 10% external strain.
[94]
[95]
[Expression 1]
[96]
X = (80×C) + (0.5×Mn) - (0.2×Si) -(0.4×Al) - 21
[97]
(In the above equation 1 C, Mn, Si, and Al means the content based on the weight of the respective elements.)
[98]
[99]
In this way, the steel sheet of the present invention as well as the tensile strength is very high, more than 1400MPa, by including a stable austenite as microstructures, contain the metastable austenite phase and a ferrite composite structure of the transformation is made of as a hard segment during processing , in excellent yield strength it can be secured for a yield ratio (yield strength (YS) / tensile strength (TS)) to more than 0.65. In other words, it has a conflicting characteristics can provide superior steel.
[100]
In addition, and it is possible to secure the ductility is excellent over 25,000MPa% product of tensile strength and elongation.
[101]
[102]
On the other hand, the steel sheet as referred to in this invention can be a cold-rolled steel sheet, as well as hot-dip galvanized steel sheet or galvannealed steel sheet obtained by plating the cold-rolled steel sheet.
[103]
[104]
Or less, and the other one side of the yield ratio is excellent ultra-high strength of the present invention will be described in detail a manufacturing method of the flexible steel plate.
[105]
[106]
First, it will be described in detail below with respect to the method for producing a cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present invention.
[107]
[108]
After preparing a steel slab of the aforementioned components the composition satisfy the cold-rolled steel sheet according to the present invention, re-heating it - hot rolling - winding - cold rolling - may be prepared by the annealing heat treatment process by performing, will now be described in detail for each process conditions .
[109]
[110]
Steel slab reheating process
[111]
In the present invention, preferably it undergoes a process of homogenizing treatment by reheating the prepared steel slab prior to the hot rolling line, and wherein it is preferred to re-heating step at 1050 ~ 1300 ℃ deeds.
[112]
And a problem that a load during hot rolling that follows is that the reheating temperature is below 1050 ℃ rapidly increased, whereas when it exceeds 1300 ℃ as well as energy costs increase, the amount of surface scale increase leads to loss of the material , there may be present if the liquid phase contains a large amount of Mn.
[113]
Therefore, it is preferably carried out in the temperature range at the time of steel slab re-heating 1050 ~ 1300 ℃.
[114]
[115]
Hot rolling
[116]
Wherein the re-heated steel slab is preferably for producing a hot rolled steel sheet by hot rolling, at this time it is preferable to carry out the finish hot rolling in the temperature range of 800 ~ 1000 ℃.
[117]
The finish hot rolling, and a problem that the temperature is the rolling load increases significantly if it is less than 800 ℃, while that when the temperature exceeds 1000 ℃ results in a reduced life of the surface defect and the rolling rolls according to the scale.
[118]
Therefore, it is preferable to carry out the finish hot rolling, the temperature range of 800 ~ 1000 ℃.
[119]
[120]
Winding process
[121]
The hot-rolled steel sheet manufactured in preferably wound at a temperature of 50 ~ 750 ℃.
[122]
When the coiling temperature exceeds 750 ℃ ​​the scale of the steel sheet surface is formed excessively and cause defects, which is a cause of deteriorating the plating property. If contained in the other hand, the steel composition is 10% or more of Mn is so greatly increased curing ability is no transformation of ferrite is also cooled to room temperature after hot rolling take-up. Therefore, it is not necessary to particularly limit the lower limit of the coiling temperature. However, if less than 50 ℃, the cooling by water injection is required to reduce the temperature of the steel sheet, it is preferable that it causes increase in unnecessary step ratio, limiting the coiling temperature above 50 ℃.
[123]
[124]
If the martensitic transformation starting temperature or higher temperature according to the addition amount of the composition of the steel components Mn, may be the martensite is produced at room temperature. In these cases, because due to the martensitic structure has a very high strength of the hot-rolled sheet it can be carried out in addition to heat treatment prior to cold rolling in order to reduce the load during the subsequent cold rolling. On the other hand, in the Mn addition amount increases, so that the transformation starting temperature maintaining the austenite phase at room temperature is less than room temperature, in this case, it can be directly cold-rolled.
[125]
[126]
Pickling and cold rolling
[127]
To remove the oxide layer by a conventional pickling process a winding hot-rolled steel sheet according to the embodiment Next, the cold rolling in order to secure the shape and thickness as required by the customers of the steel sheet is preferable.
[128]
When the cold rolling reduction ratio is one that does not suggest particular, it is best carried out as a cold rolling reduction of 25% or more preferable in order to suppress the formation of coarse ferrite grains during re-crystallization in the subsequent heat treatment step of annealing.
[129]
[130]
Annealing heat treatment step
[131]
The present invention, as well as strength and ductility, as for manufacturing a steel sheet having particularly superior to the yield strength ratio is preferably performed according to the conditions for the annealing heat treatment process for this.
[132]
Specifically, the following the invention is more than 610 ℃ ~ 700 ℃ when conducted not less than the X value represented by the first to the annealing heat treatment equation 40 below 840 exceeds 700 ℃ ~ ℃ in 10 minutes or less, and is less than the value of X 40 it is preferred to carry at least 30 seconds in a.
[133]
[134]
[Expression 1]
[135]
X = (80×C) + (0.5×Mn) - (0.2×Si) -(0.4×Al) - 21
[136]
(In the above equation 1 C, Mn, Si, and Al means the content based on the weight of the respective elements.)
[137]
[138]
The relational expression 1 is that the limited amount of relationship affects the austenite stabilizing elements, to the relative representation of the size or the austenite stability of the stacking fault energy (Stacking Fault Energy) of austenite.
[139]
When the austenite present in the steel after annealing heat treatment, varies depending on the deformation mode value of stacking fault energy. For example, if the stacking fault energy is relatively low austenite appears the transformation of organic plastic (transformation induced plasticity) symptoms that are relative to the outer deformation transformation to martensite α'- or ε- martensite, than a value (approximately 10 ~ 40mJ / m 2 , if having a) an organic plastic has a twin crystal (Twining induced plasticity) appears and the developer, a larger value (approximately 40mJ / m 2 and has the potential to form a cell without a specific phase transformation when having more). In the tensile properties according to the same transformation mode, such as tensile strength and elongation of Steel it becomes different. Therefore, in the present invention, by controlling the stacking fault energy of austenite within the steel of steel composition and the annealing heat treatment conditions, to obtain the mechanical properties of the target level.
[140]
[141]
The content in the composition of the steel components C and Mn is relatively high as the value of X is 40 or more cold-rolled steel sheet is composed of mostly austenite phase in the annealing heat treatment temperature, wherein the austenite is shown the symptoms twin organic plastic (Twining induced plasticity) It has a degree of stacking fault energy. Accordingly, the scope relatively high temperature that is, at a temperature range of not more than 840 more than 700 ℃ ~ ℃ for more than 30 seconds, 10 in order to minimize the X value is sufficiently austenite grain size (grain size) of the knight being up and recrystallization of the cold-rolled steel sheet less than 40 minute, it is advantageous in ensuring tensile properties for heat-treated below. At this time, annealing if the time is less than 30 seconds do not occur sufficiently recrystallized and is a risk of elongation is inferior, while when it exceeds 10 minutes can not becomes crystal grain coarse obtain the target degree of rigidity, by increasing the formation of annealing oxide a problem that the plating property inferior.
[142]
Further, if the annealing temperature is below 700 ℃ if it is difficult to secure not happen enough the recrystallization of the cold-rolled steel sheet elongation, whereas exceeding 840 ℃ or exceeds 10 minutes, the annealing time is more than 1400MPa the austenitic grain to coarse growing tension it is impossible to ensure the strength.
[143]
[144]
On the other hand, of the composition of the steel components C and the content of Mn it is contained relatively low value of X is 40 less than the case than stations annealing and to take advantage of the distribution behavior of the element performing a heat treatment to ensure the retained austenite at room temperature, or austenite even if performing the heat treatment in a night phase inverse it is preferred to conduct a heat treatment at a temperature range below the austenite of the bar which heat treatment is required to increase the stability and minimize the grain size, a relatively low temperature range, i.e., more than 610 ℃ ~ 700 ℃ .
[145]
At this time, the annealing temperature is low, the recrystallization retardation is less than 610 ℃ or to secure an appropriate fraction austenite during heat treatment, or annealing temperature has a detrimental drawback to secure elongation. On the other hand not that the temperature when it exceeds 700 ℃ becomes the crystal grains of the austenite coarse austenite stability and mechanical reduction of the so obtained the excellent strength and ductility at the same time. In this manner, when performing an annealing heat treatment at a relatively low temperature range is preferred in consideration of the phase transformation kinetic to a heat treatment to at least 30 seconds. One not particularly limited in its upper limit, it is deeds preferably within 60 minutes in consideration of productivity.
[146]
[147]
On the other hand, the present invention can be prepared by treating the plated steel sheet coated with the annealing heat treatment of cold-rolled steel sheet according to the above.
[148]
At this time, it is possible to use the electrical plating method, plating method or melt alloyed hot-dip plating method, it is possible to specifically, the galvanized cold-rolled steel sheet immersed in the plating bath to produce a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet. Further, the galvannealed steel sheet to alloying heat treatment of the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet can be produced.
[149]
The plating process when the conditions are merely exemplary and are not particularly limited, and may generally be performed as is done in the conditions.
[150]
[151]
The present invention the following examples will be described in detail. However, the following examples are to be noted in that not intended to limit the may make the scope of the present invention to be described in more detail by illustrating the invention. The scope of the present invention is because it is determined by what is a reasonable inference from this information and set forth in the claims.
