Embodiment
Below, as the best mode of embodiment of the present invention, the high tensile steel plate of stretch flange property and excellent in fatigue characteristics is elaborated.Quality % in the following composition simply is expressed as %.
At first, describe accomplishing experiment of the present invention.
The present inventor to contain C:0.07%, Si:0.2%, Mn:1.2%, below the P:0.01%, S:0.005%, N:0.003% and remainder be that the molten steel of Fe uses various elements to carry out deoxidation, makes bloom.The bloom that obtains is rolled into the hot-rolled steel sheet of 3mm.The hot-rolled steel sheet of these manufacturings is supplied drifiting test and fatigue test, and to analyzing the number density of the inclusion in the steel plate, form and average the composition.
Can know from its result: use the Al deoxidation hardly, add add Ce, La behind the Si at least and the steel plate of deoxidation best aspect stretch flange property and the fatigue characteristic.Its reason is; Separating out MnS because of adding on Ce oxide compound that Ce, La carry out the fine and hard that deoxidation produces, La oxide compound, sulphur cerium oxide, the sulphur lanthanum trioxide; The MnS that this is separated out when rolling is not yielding yet, so the thick MnS that extends in the steel plate significantly reduces.Consequently, when repeated deformation and reaming add man-hour, these MnS type impurities are difficult for becoming the break starting point that takes place and the path of crevasse crack propagation, this makes raisings such as above-mentioned resistance to fatigue.
In addition, the reason of Ce oxide compound, La oxide compound, sulphur cerium oxide and the miniaturization of sulphur lanthanum trioxide is, the SiO that generates because of the Si deoxidation at first
2Type impurity by after the Ce, La reduction decomposition that add and form fine Ce oxide compound, La oxide compound, sulphur cerium oxide and sulphur lanthanum trioxide; And Ce oxide compound, La oxide compound, sulphur cerium oxide and the sulphur lanthanum trioxide self and the interfacial energy between the molten steel that generate are low, thereby the agglomeration after also suppressing to generate.
According to the discovery that obtains from these experimental researches, the present inventor is described below the chemical ingredients condition of steel plate is studied, thereby has accomplished the present invention.
Below, the reason that limits chemical ingredients is in the present invention described.
C:0.03~0.20%
C is hardenability and the most basic element of intensity of control steel, helps to improve effectively hardness and the degree of depth of laser quenching hardened layer and improves fatigue strength.That is, this C is a necessary element of guaranteeing armor plate strength, in order to obtain high tensile steel plate, must be at least 0.03%.But, if contain too much this C, then can because of generating the Ti carbide C be fixed as in the past, even apply cooling conditions, still can generate the cementite phase.This cementite brings out the work hardening of steel plate mutually, is unfavorable for the raising of stretch flange characteristic.Therefore, the present invention is decided to be below 0.20% from the viewpoint that the improves processibility concentration with C.
Si:0.08~1.5%
Si is that the present invention does not add so the main deoxidant element in the molten steel of Al and Ti as far as possible, so extremely important in the present invention.And Si makes austenitic nucleus formation number of sites increase when quenching heating, suppresses austenitic particle growth, and undertakes the effect of the particle diameter miniaturization that makes laser quenching hardened layer.This Si suppresses carbide and generates, the decline of the grain-boundary strength that the inhibition carbide causes.In addition, this Si is also very effective for the generation of bainite structure, from the viewpoint of the intensity of guaranteeing material monolithic, is undertaking important effect.In order to reduce dissolved oxygen concentration in the molten steel, temporarily to generate SiO
2Type impurity (this SiO
2Type impurity is through being made the inclusion miniaturization by the Ce that adds afterwards, La reduction), must add the Si more than 0.08%.Therefore, the present invention is decided to be 0.08% with the lower limit of Si.Relative therewith, if the excessive concentration of Si, the then SiO in the inclusion
2Concentration improves and generates large-scale inclusion easily, and tough ductility extreme difference, because of surface decarburization and surface spots increase cause fatigue characteristic decline on the contrary.In addition, if too much add Si, also can produce detrimentally affect to weldability and ductility.Therefore, the present invention is with being defined as 1.5% on the Si.
Mn:1.0~3.0%
Mn is the useful element of deoxidation to the system steel stage, is with C, the Si high strength effective elements to steel plate.In order to obtain this effect, must contain this Mn more than 1.0%.But, surpass 3.0% Mn if contain, then because the increase of the segregation of Mn and solution strengthening makes ductility decline.In addition, because weldability and base material toughness also can descend, so with being defined as 3.0% on this Mn.
Below the P:0.05%
P can be effective as than the little displaced type solution strengthening element of Fe atom and work, but owing at austenitic grain boundary segregation, make grain-boundary strength descend, causes torsional fatigue strength to descend, and processibility is descended, and therefore is decided to be below 0.05%.In addition, if need not solution strengthening, then needn't add P, so the lower value of P comprises 0%.
More than the S:0.0005%
S owing to the thick extension inclusion that forms MnS makes the decline of stretch flange property, therefore hopes for trying one's best low concentration as impurity and segregation.In the past, in order to ensure stretch flange property, must carry out extremely low sulfur " and make the concentration of S be lower than 0.0005%.But in the present invention, not yielding when rolling owing on Ce oxide compound, La oxide compound, sulphur cerium oxide, sulphur lanthanum trioxide, separate out MnS yet, prevented the extension of inclusion, therefore the higher limit of the concentration of S is not done special stipulation.
In addition; In order to make the S density loss to being lower than 0.0005% level with equal in the past; Just must in secondary refining, handle by certain degree ground reinforcing desulfuration; Because be to realize that the desulfurization processing cost of this concentration is too high, and be difficult for appearing the effect of MnS being carried out morphology Control, therefore the lower value with S concentration is decided to be 0.0005%.
N:0.0005~0.01%
N sneaks into the element in the steel inevitably owing in molten steel is handled, take in airborne nitrogen.Formation nitride such as N and Al, Ti and promote the grain refined of base material tissue.But,,, cause stretch flange decline even then trace of Al and trace Ti also can generate thick precipitate if add this too much N.Therefore, the present invention is with being defined as 0.01% on the concentration of N.On the other hand, if the concentration of N is lower than 0.0005%, then cost increases, therefore with 0.0005% as lower limit.
Below the solvable Al:0.01% of acid
The solvable Al of acid is big because of its oxide compound is prone to bunch change chap, causes stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic to descend, and therefore preferably does one's utmost control.But, allow to use below 0.01% as the preliminary deoxidation material.This is because surpass 0.01% as if sour solvable Al concentration, then the Al in the inclusion
2O
3Content surpasses 50%, causes bunch change of inclusion.From preventing the viewpoint of bunch change, sour solvable Al concentration is low more good more, and lower value comprises 0%.In addition, sour solvable Al concentration is meant measures the concentration that dissolved Al concentration obtains in the acid, is to utilize to dissolve to deposit Al and in acid, dissolve and Al
2O
3Insoluble analysis of phenomenon method in acid.Here, as acid, the nitration mixture that can illustration for example mixes in the ratio (mass ratio) of hydrochloric acid 1, nitric acid 1, water 2.Use this acid can distinguish in acid soluble Al and insoluble Al in acid
2O
3, can measure sour solvable Al concentration.
The solvable Ti of acid: be lower than 0.008%
The solvable Ti of acid is also big because of easy bunch of change chap of its oxide compound, and the thick TiN inclusion of the combination of the N among Yi Yugang generation, therefore makes sour solvable Ti for being lower than 0.008%, and lower value comprises 0%.In addition, sour solvable Ti concentration is meant the concentration that the concentration of measuring dissolved Ti in the acid obtains, and is to utilize to dissolve to deposit Ti and in acid, dissolve and Ti oxide compound insoluble analysis of phenomenon method in acid.Here, as acid, the nitration mixture that can illustration for example mixes in the ratio (mass ratio) of hydrochloric acid 1, nitric acid 1, water 2.Use this acid can distinguish in acid soluble Ti and in acid insoluble Ti oxide compound, can measure sour solvable Ti concentration.
1 kind or 2 kinds total among Ce or the La: 0.0005~0.04%
Ce, La will be through the SiO of Si deoxidation generation
2Reduction is prone to become the site of separating out of MnS, and has formation with hard, on-deformable Ce oxide compound when fine and rolling (Ce for example
2O
3, CeO
2), sulphur cerium oxide (Ce for example
2O
2S), La oxide compound (La for example
2O
3, LaO
2), sulphur lanthanum trioxide (La for example
2O
2S), Ce oxide compound-La oxide compound or sulphur cerium oxide-sulphur lanthanum trioxide are the effect of the inclusion of principal phase (to be standard more than 50%).
Here, in above-mentioned inclusion,, contain some MnO, SiO sometimes because of the difference of deoxygenation conditions
2Or Al
2O
3, but, can give full play to the effect of separating out the site as MnS as long as principal phase is above-mentioned oxide compound, and can not damage the effect of fine, the hardization of inclusion.In order to obtain above-mentioned inclusion, must make among Ce or the La a kind or 2 kinds total concn is more than 0.0005% and below 0.04%.If among Ce or the La a kind or 2 kinds total concn are lower than 0.0005%, then can't be with SiO
2The inclusion reduction if surpass 0.04%, then can generate sulphur cerium oxide, sulphur lanthanum trioxide in a large number, forms thick inclusion, causes stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic to descend.
Nb:0.01~0.10%
Nb and C or N form carbide, nitride, carbonitride and promote the grain refined of base material tissue.In order to obtain this effect, must be at least 0.01%.But even surpass 0.10% and contain in a large number, effect is also saturated, and cost increases, therefore with 0.10% as the upper limit.
V:0.01~0.05%
V and C or N form carbide, nitride, carbonitride and promote the grain refined of base material tissue.In order to obtain this effect, must be at least 0.01%.But even surpass 0.05% and contain in a large number, effect is also saturated, and cost increases, therefore with 0.05% as the upper limit.
Cr:0.01~0.6%
Cr can contain with the hardenability that improves steel as required, guarantee the intensity of steel plate in order to obtain this effect, must be at least 0.01%.But, contain the balance that can make strength-ductility on the contrary in a large number and descend.Therefore, with 0.6% as the upper limit.
Mo:0.01~0.4%
Mo can contain with the hardenability that improves steel as required, guarantee the intensity of steel plate in order to obtain this effect, must be at least 0.01%.But, contain the balance that can make strength-ductility on the contrary in a large number and descend.Therefore, with 0.4% as the upper limit.
B:0.0003~0.003%
B can contain with the hardenability that improves steel as required, strengthens crystal boundary, improve processibility, in order to obtain this effect, must be at least 0.0003%.But, contain the detergency that diminishes steel on the contrary in a large number, ductility is descended.Therefore, with 0.003% as the upper limit.
Then, the existence condition to the inclusion in the steel plate of the present invention describes.In addition, steel plate is meant through hot rolling or the further plate behind cold rolling obtain rolling.
In order to obtain the steel plate of stretch flange property and excellent in fatigue characteristics, importantly reduce as far as possible and be prone to become the thick MnS type impurity of extension that starting point and rupture propagation path take place of breaking in the steel plate.The present inventor is lower than 1 μ m through experiment discovery diameter of equivalent circle MnS type impurity does not have harm as the generation starting point of breaking; Can not make the decline of stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic; And diameter of equivalent circle is that the above inclusion of 1 μ m can easily utilize scanning electron microscope (SEM) to wait to observe; Therefore be that inclusion more than the 1 μ m is an object with diameter of equivalent circle in the steel plate, analyze its form and composition, estimate the distribution of MnS type impurity.Here, diameter of equivalent circle be defined as the inclusion that obtains according to cross-section major diameter and minor axis by (major diameter * minor axis)
0.5The value of trying to achieve.
In addition, the upper limit of the diameter of equivalent circle of MnS type impurity is not done special stipulation, can observe the MnS type impurity about 1mm in fact sometimes.
About extending the number ratio of inclusion, through being that a plurality of (for example about 50) inclusion more than the 1 μ m carries out compositional analysis and measures the major diameter and the minor axis of inclusion from SEM figure to the diameter of equivalent circle that uses SEM to select at random.Here; When extending inclusion is that major diameter/minor axis (extension ratio) is when being the inclusion more than 5; Total inclusion number (is that example is about 50 with above-mentioned example) that the number of the above-mentioned extension inclusion that detection is obtained obtains divided by analysis can be obtained the number ratio of above-mentioned extension inclusion.
In addition, why the extension ratio with inclusion is decided to be more than 5, is because the extension ratio is that inclusion more than 5 all is the MnS type impurity in not adding the comparison steel plate of Ce, La.In addition, the upper limit of the extension ratio of MnS type impurity is not done special stipulation, can observe the extension ratio in fact sometimes and be about 50 MnS type impurity.
Its result shows: making the extension ratio through morphology Control is that the number ratio of the extension inclusion more than 5 is the steel plate below 20%, and its stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic improve.Promptly; If being the number ratio of the extension inclusion more than 5, the extension ratio surpasses 20%; Then be prone to become and break that to extend the number ratio of inclusion too much for MnS class that starting point takes place; Stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic descend, and are that the number ratio of the extension inclusion more than 5 is decided to be below 20% with the extension ratio in the present invention therefore.Because the MnS type impurity that extends stretch flange property more at least is good more with fatigue characteristic, so should the extension ratio be that the lower value of the number ratio of the extension inclusion more than 5 comprises 0%.
Here; Diameter of equivalent circle is that the above and extension ratio of 1 μ m is that the lower value of the number ratio of the extension inclusion 5 or more is 0%, though be that not have the extension ratio be that situation or the extension ratio of the inclusion more than 5 is the extension inclusion more than 5 but diameter of equivalent circle all is lower than the situation of 1 μ m for inclusion more than the 1 μ m even be meant diameter of equivalent circle.
In addition, making the extension ratio through morphology Control is that the number ratio of the extension inclusion more than 5 is that steel plate below 20% correspondingly is formed on by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide and separates out the form that MnS is arranged.Form as this inclusion; As long as separating out MnS by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide; Not having special stipulation, in most cases is to be core and around it, separate out MnS by a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or oxysulfide.
In addition, by separating out inclusion that MnS is arranged on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide because not yielding when rolling yet, therefore be that the shape of not extending promptly is similar to the globular inclusion in steel plate.
Here, become the nodule that does not extend not have special stipulation to judging, refer to that the extension ratio in the steel plate is the inclusion below 3, preferably extension ratio is the inclusion below 2.This is because casting sheet stage before rolling, is below 3 in the extension ratio by the inclusion of the form of separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide.In addition, the nodule that is judged as not extension is if be spherical fully, and then extension ratio is 1, and therefore extending the following of ratio is limited to 1.
Use with the same method of the number proportion grading that extends inclusion the number ratio of above-mentioned inclusion is analyzed.Its result shows: to make in the number ratio by the inclusion of the form of separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide be the steel plate 10% or more through separating out control, its stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic raising.If the number ratio by the inclusion of the form of separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide is lower than 10%, then therewith correspondingly the MnS class to extend the number ratio of inclusion too much, stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic decline.Therefore, will be decided to be more than 10% in number ratio by the inclusion of the form of separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide.In addition, then stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic are good more separated out many more MnS by a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or oxysulfide, so the higher limit of this number ratio comprises 100%.
In addition, by the inclusion of separating out the form that MnS is arranged on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide because not yielding when rolling, so its diameter of equivalent circle do not have special stipulation, can be for more than the 1 μ m.But, then might become the generation starting point of breaking, so the upper limit is preferably about 50 μ m if excessive.
On the other hand, this inclusion is not only not yielding when rolling, and when diameter of equivalent circle is lower than 1 μ m, can not become the generation starting point of breaking, and therefore the lower limit of diameter of equivalent circle is not done special stipulation.
Then, as the existence condition of the inclusion in the steel plate of the invention described above, stipulate with the individual number density of the unit volume of inclusion.
About the size distribution of inclusion, the SEM of the electrolysis face through adopting tachometric method estimates and implements.Adopt the SEM evaluation of the electrolysis face of tachometric method to be meant, after the surface grinding with print, utilize tachometric method to carry out electrolysis, directly sample surfaces is carried out SEM and observe a size and a number density of estimating inclusion.In addition, tachometric method is meant, uses 10% methyl ethyl diketone-1% tetramethyl ammonium chloride-methyl alcohol that the method for inclusion is extracted in the sample surfaces electrolysis, as the electrolysis amount, with respect to the area 1cm of sample surfaces
2Carry out electrolysis with 1C.The SEM figure on the surface that electrolysis like this is obtained carries out picture processing, and the frequency of obtaining with respect to diameter of equivalent circle (number) distributes.Calculate the average equivalent circular diameter by the frequency distribution of this particle diameter, and with frequency divided by the area of field of view and the degree of depth of trying to achieve by the electrolysis amount, thereby calculate the individual number density of the unit volume of inclusion.
The evaluation result that the diameter of equivalent circle that becoming breaks starting point takes place and make stretch flange property to descend with fatigue characteristic is more than the 1 μ m, the extension ratio is a volume number density of the inclusion more than 5 shows: if 1.0 * 10
4Individual/mm
3Below, then stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic improve.If to be 1 μ m above and the extension ratio is that the volume number density of the extension inclusion 5 or more is above 1.0 * 10 for diameter of equivalent circle
4Individual/mm
3, then be prone to become and break that to extend individual number density of inclusion too much for MnS class that starting point takes place, stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic decline, so be more than the 1 μ m and the extension ratio is that the volume number density of the extension inclusion more than 5 is decided to be 1.0 * 10 with diameter of equivalent circle
4Individual/mm
3Below.In addition since the MnS type impurity that extends stretch flange property is good more with fatigue characteristic more at least, so diameter of equivalent circle is more than the 1 μ m and the extension ratio is that the lower value of a volume number density of the extension inclusion more than 5 comprises 0%.
Here, diameter of equivalent circle is that the above and extension ratio of 1 μ m is that the lower value of a volume number density of the extension inclusion more than 5 is that 0% the meaning is the same.
In addition, in that make diameter through morphology Control be more than the 1 μ m and unit elongation is that the volume number density of the extension inclusion more than 5 is 1.0 * 10
4Individual/mm
3Below steel plate in, corresponding therewith, the MnS type impurity that does not extend is for separating out the form that MnS is arranged by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide, it is shaped as approximate nodule.
Form as this inclusion; With above-mentioned same; As long as separating out MnS by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide; Not having special stipulation, in most cases is to be core and around it, separate out MnS by a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or oxysulfide.
As nodule, there are not special stipulation, refer to that the extension ratio in the steel plate is the inclusion below 3, preferably extension ratio is the inclusion below 2.Here, spherical as if being entirely, then extension ratio is 1, and therefore extending the following of ratio is limited to 1.
The analytical results of the volume of an above-mentioned inclusion number density shows: make by a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or oxysulfide to be core and the volume number density of inclusion of around it, separating out the form of MnS is 1.0 * 10 through separating out control
3Individual/mm
3Above steel plate, its stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic improve.If the volume number density by the inclusion of the form of separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide is lower than 1.0 * 10
3Individual/mm
3Then correspondingly the number ratio of the extension inclusion of MnS is too much; Stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic descend, and therefore will be defined as 1.0 * 10 in the volume number density by the inclusion of the form of separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide
3Individual/mm
3More than.And, with by a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or oxysulfide be the MnS that separates out of core stretch flange property and fatigue strength are good more more at most, therefore the higher limit of this volume number density is not done special stipulation.
In addition,, there are not special stipulation by the diameter of equivalent circle of the inclusion of separating out the form that MnS is arranged on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide and above-mentioned same, can be for more than the 1 μ m.But,, then might become the generation starting point of breaking, so the upper limit is preferably about 50 μ m if this equivalent circular diameter is excessive.
On the other hand, when the diameter of equivalent circle of this inclusion is lower than 1 μ m, have no problem, therefore lower limit is not had special stipulation.
Then, as the existence condition of the extension inclusion in the steel plate of the invention described above, stipulate with the higher limit of diameter of equivalent circle.Particularly; Starting point takes place and make stretch flange property and the diameter of equivalent circle of fatigue characteristic decline is more than the 1 μ m and the extension ratio is that the average equivalent circular diameter of the inclusion more than 5 is estimated becoming to break; The result shows: when the average equivalent circular diameter of this extension inclusion is 10 μ m when following, stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic improve.This is to be conceived to along with diameter of equivalent circle is more than the 1 μ m and the extension ratio is the increase of the number ratio of the extension inclusion more than 5, and this average equivalent circular diameter that extends inclusion increases, and is that index is stipulated with the average equivalent circular diameter that extends inclusion.This can infer and be the increase along with the amount of Mn in the molten steel and S that the number of the MnS of generation increases, and the size chap of the MnS that generates is big.
Therefore; If to be 1 μ m above and the extension ratio is that extension inclusion more than 5 is greater than 10 μ m for diameter of equivalent circle; The number ratio that then correspondingly should extend inclusion surpasses 20%; Therefore be prone to become and break that to extend the number ratio of inclusion too much for thick MnS class that starting point takes place, stretch flange property descends with fatigue characteristic, so is more than the 1 μ m and the extension ratio is that the average equivalent circular diameter of the extension inclusion more than 5 is set at below the 10 μ m with diameter of equivalent circle.
In addition; With diameter of equivalent circle is more than the 1 μ m and the extension ratio is that the average equivalent circular diameter of the extension inclusion more than 5 is set at the regulation below the 10 μ m; Mean that in steel plate, having diameter of equivalent circle is the inclusion more than the 1 μ m, so the lower value of diameter of equivalent circle is 1 μ m.
On the other hand; As in the steel plate of the invention described above by the existence condition of separating out the inclusion of the form that MnS is arranged on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide, stipulate with separating out by the average content of forming of Ce in the inclusion of MnS or La.
Particularly, as stated, improve stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic aspect, make separating out MnS by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide, prevent the extension of MnS, this is very important.
Form as this inclusion; As stated; As long as separating out MnS by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide; Not having special stipulation, in most cases is to be core and around it, separate out MnS by a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or oxysulfide.
In addition, as nodule, do not have special stipulation, refer to that the extension ratio in the steel plate is the inclusion below 3, preferably extension ratio is the inclusion below 2.Here, spherical as if being entirely, then extension ratio is 1, and therefore extending the following of ratio is limited to 1.
Therefore, in order clearly effectively to suppress the composition that the MnS type impurity extends, to carrying out compositional analysis by the inclusion of separating out the form of MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide.
But, if the diameter of equivalent circle of this inclusion is more than the 1 μ m, then be easy to observe, therefore for simplicity, be to be object more than the 1 μ m with diameter of equivalent circle.But,, preferably also comprise the inclusion that diameter of equivalent circle is lower than 1 μ m if can observe.
In addition, separating out the inclusion of the form that MnS is arranged owing to extend by on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide, thereby confirming it is that the extension ratio is all at the inclusion below 3.Therefore, be more than the 1 μ m with diameter of equivalent circle and the extension ratio is that inclusion below 3 is that object carries out compositional analysis.
Its result shows: when being more than the 1 μ m at diameter of equivalent circle and the extension ratio is that stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic improve when containing 0.5~50% by a kind among average composition Ce or the La or 2 kinds of totals in the inclusion below 3.When being more than the 1 μ m at diameter of equivalent circle and the extension ratio is that the average content of the total of among Ce or the La in the inclusion below 3 a kind or 2 kinds is when being lower than 0.5 quality %; Significantly reducing by the inclusion number ratio of separating out the form of MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide; Therefore correspondingly be prone to it become and break that to extend the number ratio of inclusion too much for MnS class that starting point takes place, stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic decline.
On the other hand; If more than diameter of equivalent circle is 1 μ m and the extension ratio be that the average content of total of among Ce or the La in the inclusion below 3 a kind or 2 kinds was above 50% o'clock; Then can generate a large amount of sulphur cerium oxide, sulphur lanthanum trioxide; Forming diameter of equivalent circle is thick inclusion above about 50 μ m, causes stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic to descend.
As in the steel plate of the present invention by the existence condition of separating out the inclusion of the form that MnS is arranged on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide, recently stipulate with chemical ingredients (the Ce+La)/S of steel plate.
Particularly, as stated, improve stretch flange characteristic and fatigue characteristic aspect, be the chemical ingredients ratio that makes prevent the MnS extension by separating out MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide.
Therefore, in order clearly to suppress the chemical ingredients ratio that the MnS type impurity extends effectively, recently form, stretch flange property and the fatigue characteristic of inclusion are estimated (Fig. 1) through (the Ce+La)/S that changes steel plate.Its result shows: when (Ce+La)/S ratio was 0.1~70, stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic improved.If (Ce+La)/the S ratio is lower than 0.1; Then significantly reducing by the inclusion number ratio of separating out the form of MnS on a kind among Ce or the La or 2 kinds of oxide compounds that form or the oxysulfide; Therefore correspondingly be prone to it become and break that to extend the number ratio of inclusion too much for MnS class that starting point takes place, stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic decline.
On the other hand, if (Ce+La)/S is than surpassing 70, then can generate sulphur cerium oxide, sulphur lanthanum trioxide in a large number, and forming diameter of equivalent circle is thick inclusion above about 50 μ m, causes the decline of stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic.
Below, the tissue of steel plate is described.
The present invention improves stretch flange property and fatigue characteristic through control MnS type impurity, and the microstructure of steel plate is not had particular determination.To have with the bainite ferrite be the steel plate of the tissue of principal phase, with the ferritic phase be principal phase and be the complex tissue steel plate of the 2nd phase mutually with martensitic phase, bainite, all can obtain effect of the present invention in arbitrary steel plate in the complex tissue steel plate that constitutes by ferritic, retained austenite and low temperature phase change phase (martensite or bainite); But in order to obtain excellent stretch flange property, being preferably formed with the bainite ferrite is the tissue of principal phase.Preferred bainite ferrite or bainite in area than the phase that is necessary for maximum.The area occupation ratio of the bainite ferrite phase in the steel plate is preferably more than 50%, more preferably more than 80%, further is preferably 100%.In addition, remainder can contain 20% with upper bainite phase or polygonal ferrite phase.
Then explanation is created conditions.In the present invention; Blow and decarburization in converter; Or further use vacuum degasser to carry out decarburization, and, C concentration adds alloys such as Si, Mn, P in being 0.03~0.1% molten steel, and carry out deoxidation and composition and regulate; And do not add Al and Ti or when needs carry out the oxygen adjusting, add a small amount of Al and Ti with the degree of minimal residue solvable Al of acid and sour solvable Ti, a kind or 2 kinds that adds then among Ce or the La is carried out the composition adjusting.With the molten steel continuous casting that melting like this is processed, make the casting sheet.
About continuous casting, be not only applicable to the continuous casting of slab of common 250mm about thick, the casting mold thickness that also can fully be applicable to bloom or steel billet and continuous casting of slab machine is than the bar strip continuous casting below the thin usually for example 150mm.
Hot-rolled condition to being used to make high tensile hot rolled steel sheet describes.About the Heating temperature of the slab before the hot rolling,, be preferably more than 1150 ℃ in order to make the solid solutions such as carbonitride in the steel.Through making their solid solutions, be suppressed in the process of cooling after rolling and generate polygonal ferrite, obtain the tissue that is the main body mutually with the good bainite ferrite of stretch flange property.On the other hand; If the Heating temperature of the slab before the hot rolling surpasses 1250 ℃, then the oxidation of steel slab surface is remarkable, and the wedge-shaped surface defective that is particularly caused by the oxidation of being selected property of crystal boundary is residual after de-scaling; Its surface quality after can influence of rolled, therefore preferably will on be defined as 1250 ℃.
After being heated to the said temperature scope, carry out common hot rolling, but the finish rolling in this operation is accomplished temperature and is being carried out under the situation of organizational controls of steel plate very important.If accomplishing temperature, finish rolling is lower than Ar
3Point+30 ℃, then the easy chap of the crystal particle diameter of skin section is big, is unfavorable for fatigue characteristic.On the other hand, if surpass Ar
3Point+200 ℃ then generate the polygonal ferrite phase that is unfavorable for stretch flange property easily, therefore preferably will on be defined as Ar
3Point+200 ℃.
In addition, the average cooling rate that makes the steel plate after the finish rolling is more than 40 ℃/second and the process that is cooled to 300~500 ℃ scope can suppress the generation of polygonal ferrite phase effectively, obtains the tissue that is the main body mutually with bainite ferrite.
If above-mentioned average cooling rate is lower than 40 ℃/second, then generate polygonal ferrite easily, not preferred.On the other hand, though in organizational controls, need not speed of cooling is provided with the upper limit, too fast speed of cooling might make steel plate inhomogeneous cooling one, and makes that to carry out the required expense of this refrigerative equipment big, thereby causes the price of steel plate to rise.Based on this kind viewpoint, the upper limit of speed of cooling is preferably 100 ℃/second.
In addition, if stopping cooling temperature being lower than 300 ℃, then can generating the martensitic phase that is unfavorable for stretch flange property, thereby lower limit is decided to be 300 ℃.Therefore, in order to suppress to make the generation of the martensitic phase that stretch flange property extremely worsens, the coiling temperature of coils of hot rolled is preferably more than 300 ℃.
On the other hand,, then can't suppress the generation of polygonal ferrite phase, and in containing the steel of Cu, the part is separated out Cu and might be made fatigue characteristic improve effect decline in ferritic phase, thereby preferably coiling temperature is decided to be below 500 ℃ if surpass 500 ℃.Therefore, through batching below 500 ℃, after process of cooling in separate out carbonitride, make solid solution C, N in the ferritic phase measure minimizing, make the raising of stretch flange property.
