Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、自動車の走行安定性を確保する中空スタビライザーに関し、特に焼入れ性に優れた中空スタビライザー用電縫溶接鋼管に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
自動車の燃費向上対策の一つとして車体の軽量化が進められており、コーナリング時に車体のローリングを緩和し、高速走行時に車体の走行安定性を確保するスタビライザーもその中に含まれる。スタビライザーの製造においては、高い疲労強度を得るために実施される熱処理において、焼入れ性確保が要求される。
【0003】
また、従来のスタビライザーは、棒鋼を製品形状に加工した中実材であるが、軽量化を図るため継目無鋼管や電縫溶接鋼管等の中空材である鋼管が使用されることが多くなってきており、特に厚肉中空材が要求されるようになってきている。
【0004】
焼入れ性等の特性が要求される中空スタビライザー素管として、構造用合金鋼鋼管あるいは機械構造用炭素鋼鋼管等の適用がある。しかし、構造用合金鋼鋼管はコストが高く、また、機械構造用鋼鋼管は焼入れに問題を有している。
【0005】
中空スタビライザー用電縫溶接鋼管の化学成分は、特公平1−58264号公報、特公昭61−45688号公報に記載されている。ここでは、焼入れ性向上に重要な元素であるB添加時のTiの規制が、NおよびOの合計で規制されている。また、NおよびOについては、各々の制限がない。さらに何れの公報においても、鋼管肉厚(t)と鋼管外径(D)の比であるt/Dが0.15を超える厚肉中空鋼管についての記載がない。
【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記特公平1−58264号公報、特公昭61−45688号公報に記載された中空スタビライザー用電縫溶接鋼管の化学成分では、焼入れ性向上に重要な元素であるB添加時のTiの規制が、NおよびOの合計で規制されており、熱処理において、焼入れ性を確保するには不十分である。また、NおよびOについては、各々の制限がないため、靱性および酸化物の制御が不十分である。
【0007】
中空スタビライザーにおいては、厚肉中空材が要求されるようになってきているにもかかわらず、電縫溶接鋼管ではt/Dが0.15を超える厚肉中空材の製造は困難であった。
【0008】
本発明は、このような中空スタビライザー製造上の諸問題を解消すべく、スタビライザーとして適した特性を有する新しい電縫溶接鋼管を提供することを目的とする。
【0009】
【課題を解決するための手段】
即ち、本発明の要旨とするところは以下の通りである。

(5)伸管を施したことを特徴とする前記(1)から(4)の何れかに記載の中空スタビライザー用電縫溶接鋼管。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明では、特定の化学組成を有する熱延素材を用いるが、その熱延素材を製造する手段は特に限定されない。また、電縫溶接鋼管の製造方法としては、高周波電流を利用した電気抵抗溶接法及び電気抵抗溶接法により製造した鋼管を縮径圧延機により縮径圧延する方法、さらには、縮径圧延した後に鋼管の形状を整える目的で冷間引抜機にて伸管を行う方法を適用施することができる。
【0011】
次に、鋼管の化学成分について説明する。
Cは基地中に固溶あるいは炭化物として析出し、鋼の強度を増加させる元素であり、また、セメンタイト、パーライト、ベイナイト、マルテンサイト等の硬質な第2相として析出し、高強度化と一様伸びの向上に寄与する。強度向上のために0.2%以上のCが必要であるが、C含有量が0.35%を超えると、加工性や溶接性が劣化するため、Cは0.2〜0.35%の範囲に規定した。
【0012】
Siは固溶強化型の合金元素であり、強度を確保するために0.1%のSiが必要であるが、0.5%を超えると、電縫溶接時に溶接欠陥となるSi−Mn系の介在物を生成しやすくなり電縫溶接部の健全性に悪影響を及ぼす。このため、Siは0.1〜0.5%の範囲に規定した。なお、好ましくは、0.1〜0.3%である。
【0013】
Mnは強度および焼入れ性を向上させる元素であり、0.3%未満では焼入れ時の強度を十分に得られず、また、1.5%を超えると溶接性および溶接部の健全性にも悪影響を及ぼすため、Mnは0.3〜1.5%の範囲に規定した。
【0014】
Alは溶鋼の脱酸材として使われる必要な元素であり、またNを固定する元素でもあり、その量は結晶粒径や機械的性質に大きな影響を及ぼす。このような効果を有するためには0.01%以上の含有量が必要であるが、0.1%を超えると非金属介在物が多くなり製品に表面疵が発生しやすくなる。このため、Alは0.01〜0.1%の範囲に規定した。
【0015】
TiはB添加による焼入れ性を安定かつ効果的に向上させるために作用するが、Ti:0.001%未満および
(N−0.002)/14.01<Ti/47.88  (1)式
を満足しない範囲では効果が期待できず、Ti:0.04%超および
(Ti−0.02)/47.88<N/14.01 (2)式
を満足しない範囲では電縫溶接衝合部にTiの窒化物が多く生成して、靱性が劣化する傾向がある。そのため、Tiを0.001〜0.04%の範囲に規定するとともに、上記(1)式及び(2)式を規定した。
【0016】
Bは微量添加で鋼材の焼入れ性を大幅に向上させる元素であり、また、粒界強化およびM23(C,B)などとして析出強化の効果もある。添加量が0.0005%未満では焼入れ性に効果が期待できず、また、0.005%を超えると粗大なB含有相を生成する傾向があり、また、脆化が起こりやすくなる。このため、Bは0.0005〜0.005%の範囲に規定した。
【0017】
Nは窒化物または炭窒化物を析出させ、強度を高める重要な元素の一つである。0.001%以上の添加により効果を発揮するが、0.01%を超えると窒化物の粗大化および固溶Nによる時効硬化により、靭性が劣化する傾向がみられる。このため、Nは0.001〜0.01%の範囲に規定した。
【0018】
Pは溶接割れ性および靭性に悪影響を及ぼす元素であるため、Pは0.03%以下に規制した。なお、好ましくは、0.02%以下である。
【0019】
Sは鋼中の非金属介在物に影響し、鋼管の曲げ性、扁平性を劣化させるとともに、靭性劣化,異方性および再熱割れ感受性の増大の原因となる。また、溶接部の健全性にも影響を及ぼすため、Sは0.02%以下に規定した。なお、好ましくは、0.01%以下である。
【0020】
Oは靭性に悪影響を及ぼす酸化物の生成の原因となるとともに、疲労破壊の起点となる酸化物を生成し、疲労耐久性を劣化させるため、上限を0.015%に規定した。
【0021】
Niは焼入れ性および靭性を向上させる元素である。0.005%未満では効果が期待できず、1%を超えると焼入れ時に残留γが生成する可能性があり、疲労耐久性を劣化させるため、Niは0.005〜1%の範囲に規定した。Ni含有範囲は0.015〜0.5%とするとより好ましい。
【0022】
Crは焼入れ性を向上させる元素であり、またマトリックス中へM23型炭化物を析出させる効果を有し、強度を高めるとともに、炭化物を微細化する作用を有する。0.05%未満ではこれらの効果が十分期待できず、また、1%を超えると、溶接時にペネトレーターを発生しやすくなるため、Crは0.05〜1%の範囲に規定した。
【0023】
Moは焼入れ性を向上させる元素であり、また固溶強化をもたらす元素であるとともに、M23を安定化させる元素である。0.005%未満ではこの効果が十分期待できず、1%を超えると粗大炭化物を析出しやすく、靱性を劣化させるため、Moは0.005〜1%の範囲に規定した。
【0024】
次に、鋼管肉厚(t)と鋼管外径(D)の比であるt/Dを0.15超に限定した理由について述べる。一般的に肉厚/外径比(t/D)が0.15以下の電縫溶接鋼管は製造可能であるが、t/Dが0.15を超えると電縫溶接鋼管造管機の能力以上となり、製造が困難となる。本発明では電縫溶接鋼管を熱間絞り圧延機にて縮径圧延することにより、従来、電縫溶接鋼管では製造困難であったt/D;0.15超を製造容易としたものであるから、t/Dの対象を0.15超とした。
【0025】
さらに、電縫溶接鋼管を最終的に伸管すると好ましい。伸管することにより、鋼管の寸法精度の向上を図ると共に、表面品質を向上することができるからである。
【0026】
本発明の電縫溶接鋼管に焼入れ熱処理を施してマルテンサイト率を90%以上とすることにより、焼入れ硬さをHv420以上とすることができる。
【0027】
【実施例】
表1の組成をもつ各種鋼をスラブに鋳造した。これらのスラブを1150℃に加熱し、熱間圧延にて仕上温度900℃、巻取温度670℃で板厚6.5mmの熱延鋼板とした。熱延鋼板を所定の幅にスリットした後、高周波電縫溶接により外径89.1mm肉厚6.5mmの電縫溶接鋼管とした。複数の電縫溶接鋼管のうち一部の鋼管について高周波誘導加熱によりAc点以上のオーステナイト領域に加熱した後、熱間絞り圧延機にて縮径圧延を行い外径36.8〜63.5mm肉厚7mmの鋼管とし、一部の鋼管について伸管を施した。各鋼管の焼入れ硬さを調査するために、該鋼管を950℃に加熱し、水中に焼入れた。焼入れた鋼管について、管軸方向に垂直な断面をビッカース硬度計にて硬度測定を実施し、更に光学顕微鏡にて金属組織を観察し、マルテンサイト率を測定した。製造結果を表2に示す。

TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hollow stabilizer for ensuring running stability of an automobile, and more particularly to an electric resistance welded steel pipe for a hollow stabilizer excellent in hardenability.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As one of the measures to improve the fuel efficiency of automobiles, weight reduction of the vehicle body is being promoted, and includes a stabilizer that eases rolling of the vehicle body during cornering and ensures running stability of the vehicle body during high-speed driving. In the manufacture of a stabilizer, it is required to ensure hardenability in a heat treatment performed to obtain high fatigue strength.
[0003]
Further, the conventional stabilizer is a solid material obtained by processing a steel bar into a product shape, but a steel tube which is a hollow material such as a seamless steel pipe or an electric resistance welded steel pipe is often used to reduce the weight. In particular, a thick hollow material has been required.
[0004]
As a hollow stabilizer tube required to have properties such as hardenability, there is an application such as an alloy steel tube for a structure or a carbon steel tube for a machine structure. However, structural alloy steel pipes are expensive, and mechanical structural steel pipes have problems in quenching.
[0005]
The chemical composition of the electric resistance welded steel pipe for a hollow stabilizer is described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-58264 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-45688. Here, the regulation of Ti when B is added, which is an important element for improving the hardenability, is regulated by the sum of N and O. There are no restrictions on N and O. Furthermore, none of the publications describes a thick hollow steel pipe in which t / D, which is the ratio of the steel pipe wall thickness (t) to the steel pipe outer diameter (D), exceeds 0.15.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In the chemical composition of the electric resistance welded steel pipe for a hollow stabilizer described in the above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. 1-58264 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 61-45688, the regulation of Ti at the time of adding B which is an important element for improving hardenability, It is regulated by the sum of N and O, and is not sufficient to ensure hardenability in heat treatment. In addition, since N and O do not have respective limitations, the control of toughness and oxide is insufficient.
[0007]
Despite the fact that thick-walled hollow materials have been required for hollow stabilizers, it has been difficult to produce thick-walled hollow materials with t / D exceeding 0.15 for ERW welded steel pipes.
[0008]
An object of the present invention is to provide a new ERW welded steel pipe having characteristics suitable as a stabilizer in order to solve the various problems in manufacturing such a hollow stabilizer.
[0009]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
That is, the gist of the present invention is as follows.
(1) In mass%, C: 0.2 to 0.35%, Si: 0.1 to 0.5%, Mn: 0.3 to 1.5%, Al: 0.01 to 0.1% , Ti: 0.001 to 0.04%, B: 0.0005 to 0.005%, N: 0.001 to 0.01%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.02% or less, O: 0.015% or less, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, and satisfying the following equations (1) and (2): an electric resistance welded steel pipe for a hollow stabilizer.

(5) The electric resistance welded steel pipe for a hollow stabilizer according to any one of (1) to (4), wherein the steel pipe is subjected to drawing.
[0010]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
In the present invention, a hot rolled material having a specific chemical composition is used, but the means for producing the hot rolled material is not particularly limited. In addition, as a method of manufacturing an electric resistance welded steel pipe, a method of reducing the diameter of a steel pipe manufactured by an electric resistance welding method and an electric resistance welding method using a high-frequency current with a diameter reducing rolling machine, and further, after reducing the diameter of the steel pipe, For the purpose of adjusting the shape of the steel pipe, a method of drawing by a cold drawing machine can be applied.
[0011]
Next, the chemical composition of the steel pipe will be described.
C is an element that precipitates as a solid solution or carbides in the matrix and increases the strength of steel, and precipitates as a hard second phase such as cementite, pearlite, bainite, martensite, etc. Contributes to improvement in elongation. In order to improve the strength, 0.2% or more of C is required. However, if the C content exceeds 0.35%, workability and weldability are deteriorated. Specified in the range.
[0012]
Si is a solid solution strengthening type alloy element, and 0.1% of Si is necessary to secure the strength. However, if it exceeds 0.5%, Si-Mn based alloy which becomes a welding defect at the time of electric resistance welding is used. This easily causes inclusions, which adversely affects the soundness of the ERW weld. For this reason, Si is specified in the range of 0.1 to 0.5%. In addition, Preferably, it is 0.1-0.3%.
[0013]
Mn is an element that improves strength and hardenability. If it is less than 0.3%, sufficient strength during quenching cannot be obtained, and if it exceeds 1.5%, weldability and soundness of the welded portion are adversely affected. , Mn is specified in the range of 0.3 to 1.5%.
[0014]
Al is a necessary element used as a deoxidizing material for molten steel, and is also an element fixing N, and its amount has a great effect on the crystal grain size and mechanical properties. To have such an effect, the content is required to be 0.01% or more. However, if the content exceeds 0.1%, nonmetallic inclusions increase and a surface flaw is easily generated in a product. For this reason, Al was specified in the range of 0.01 to 0.1%.
[0015]
Ti acts to stably and effectively improve the hardenability by adding B, but Ti: less than 0.001% and (N−0.002) /14.01 <Ti / 47.88 (1) In the range where Ti is not satisfied, the effect cannot be expected. In the range where Ti: more than 0.04% and (Ti−0.02) /47.88 <N / 14.01 (2), the ERW welding abutment is not satisfied. In a portion, a large amount of Ti nitride is generated, and the toughness tends to deteriorate. Therefore, Ti was defined in the range of 0.001 to 0.04%, and the above formulas (1) and (2) were defined.
[0016]
B is an element which greatly improves the hardenability of steel by adding a small amount thereof, and has the effect of strengthening the grain boundary and strengthening precipitation as M 23 (C, B) 6 . If the addition amount is less than 0.0005%, no effect on hardenability can be expected, and if it exceeds 0.005%, a coarse B-containing phase tends to be formed, and embrittlement tends to occur. For this reason, B is specified in the range of 0.0005 to 0.005%.
[0017]
N is one of the important elements that precipitate nitride or carbonitride and increase the strength. The effect is exhibited by the addition of 0.001% or more, but if it exceeds 0.01%, the toughness tends to deteriorate due to coarsening of the nitride and age hardening due to solid solution N. For this reason, N was specified in the range of 0.001 to 0.01%.
[0018]
Since P is an element that has an adverse effect on weld cracking and toughness, P is restricted to 0.03% or less. Preferably, it is at most 0.02%.
[0019]
S affects nonmetallic inclusions in the steel, deteriorating the bendability and flatness of the steel pipe, and also causes deterioration of toughness, anisotropy, and increase in susceptibility to reheat cracking. In addition, since S also affects the soundness of the welded portion, S is set to 0.02% or less. In addition, preferably, it is 0.01% or less.
[0020]
O causes the formation of oxides that have an adverse effect on toughness, and at the same time, forms oxides that serve as starting points for fatigue fracture, thereby deteriorating fatigue durability. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 0.015%.
[0021]
Ni is an element that improves hardenability and toughness. If it is less than 0.005%, no effect can be expected. If it exceeds 1%, residual γ may be generated at the time of quenching, and the fatigue durability is deteriorated. Therefore, Ni is specified in the range of 0.005 to 1%. . More preferably, the Ni content range is 0.015 to 0.5%.
[0022]
Cr is an element that improves the hardenability, has the effect of precipitating M 23 C 6 type carbide in the matrix, has the effect of increasing the strength, and has the effect of making the carbide finer. If the content is less than 0.05%, these effects cannot be expected sufficiently. If the content exceeds 1%, a penetrator is easily generated at the time of welding. Therefore, Cr is specified in the range of 0.05 to 1%.
[0023]
Mo is an element that improves hardenability, is an element that enhances solid solution strengthening, and is an element that stabilizes M 23 C 6 . If the content is less than 0.005%, this effect cannot be sufficiently expected. If the content exceeds 1%, coarse carbides are easily precipitated and the toughness is deteriorated. Therefore, Mo is specified in the range of 0.005 to 1%.
[0024]
Next, the reason why the ratio t / D, which is the ratio of the steel pipe wall thickness (t) to the steel pipe outer diameter (D), is limited to more than 0.15 will be described. Generally, an ERW welded steel pipe having a thickness / outer diameter ratio (t / D) of 0.15 or less can be manufactured. This makes production difficult. In the present invention, by reducing the diameter of the ERW welded steel pipe with a hot drawing rolling mill, it is possible to easily manufacture t / D; Therefore, the target of t / D was set to more than 0.15.
[0025]
Further, it is preferable that the ERW welded steel pipe is finally drawn. This is because by extending the pipe, the dimensional accuracy of the steel pipe can be improved and the surface quality can be improved.
[0026]
By performing quenching heat treatment on the ERW welded steel pipe of the present invention to make the martensite ratio 90% or more, the quenching hardness can be made Hv420 or more.
[0027]
【Example】
Various steels having the compositions shown in Table 1 were cast into slabs. These slabs were heated to 1150 ° C, and hot-rolled to obtain a hot-rolled steel sheet having a finishing temperature of 900 ° C, a winding temperature of 670 ° C, and a thickness of 6.5 mm. After slitting the hot-rolled steel sheet to a predetermined width, an electric resistance welded steel pipe having an outer diameter of 89.1 mm and a thickness of 6.5 mm was formed by high frequency electric resistance welding. After heating some of the plurality of ERW welded steel pipes to an austenitic region of three or more points by high-frequency induction heating, diameter-reducing rolling is performed by a hot-rolling rolling mill to obtain an outer diameter of 36.8 to 63.5 mm. A steel pipe having a thickness of 7 mm was formed, and a part of the steel pipe was drawn. In order to investigate the quenching hardness of each steel pipe, the steel pipe was heated to 950 ° C. and quenched in water. With respect to the quenched steel pipe, a cross section perpendicular to the pipe axis direction was subjected to hardness measurement with a Vickers hardness meter, and further, the metal structure was observed with an optical microscope, and the martensite ratio was measured. Table 2 shows the production results.
