Description

1300MPa ultra-high strength plastic cold-rolled Mn-TRIP steel and preparation method thereof

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of metal materials, and particularly relates to 1300MPa ultra-high strength plastic cold-rolled Mn-TRIP steel and a preparation method thereof.

Background

The green and intelligent development trend of steel is important in the manufacturing industry of automobile materials closely combined with civil life, and the high-strength and thinning development is a key core of automobile material research and development along with the energy-saving and safe production concept. Scientists Krupitzer and Heimbuch in the united states were first proposing the concept of third generation automotive steels, and the automotive/steel alliance was under the support of DOE and NSF to initiate development of third generation automotive steels for three years with integration of strength and plasticity and cost intermediate to those of first and second generation automotive steels at 10 months of 2007. In the same period, china, korea and the like also start the research and development work of high-strength and high-plastic steel for improving the strength and plastic product. So far, the technical ideas of developing third-generation automobile steel in various countries are still under active exploration. In many third-generation automobile steel researches, medium manganese steel (Mn-TRIP steel) has gained a great deal of attention due to the low cost advantage of no or a small amount of noble alloy elements added and the relatively good comprehensive mechanical properties. Based on Mn-TRIP steel, a plurality of scholars such as DeCooman professor gradually put forward the research direction of the medium manganese steel with Al instead of Si, the full austenitizing temperature can be improved by inhibiting the addition of Al of carbide, the process window of a critical region is enlarged, and meanwhile, the product quality problem caused by the excessively high Si content can be solved. The concept of manganese TRIP steel in the mn—al system has been proposed in this regard.

Chinese patent CN104651734a discloses a "1000 MPa-level high-strength high-plasticity aluminum-containing medium manganese steel and preparation method thereof", the cold-rolled steel sheet comprises the following components in percentage by weight: c:0.05 to 0.20 percent, mn:7.0 to 11.0 percent, al:1.50 to 3.50 percent, 0.20 to 0.40 percent of Si, 0.02 to 0.60 percent of Cr, less than or equal to 0.50 percent of Cu, less than or equal to 0.40 percent of Mo, less than or equal to 0.10 percent of Nb, less than or equal to 0.01 percent of N, and the balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The cold-rolled steel plate is added with a large amount of micro-alloy elements such as Cu, cr, mo and the like, so that the alloy cost of the medium manganese steel is greatly increased; in the selection of the heat treatment process, the two processes adopt a cover annealing process and a continuous annealing process, and obvious cost-saving improvement does not exist.

Chinese patent CN103695765A discloses a "high strength high plasticity cold rolled medium manganese steel and its preparation method", the cold rolled steel sheet comprises the following components in percentage by weight: c:0.15 to 0.20 percent, mn:8.0 to 11.0 percent, al:3.0 to 4.0 percent, nb:0 to 0.04 percent of Fe and unavoidable impurities. The cold rolled steel has the strength of 1000MPa and the elongation after fracture of more than 60 percent, and has good mechanical properties. The improvement of the strength and plasticity of the cold-rolled steel sheet is mainly concentrated in the aspect of plasticity, and the higher C, mn content ratio can not further improve the strength, thereby meeting the development concept of high-strength and thinning automobile steel. Meanwhile, the selected process is also a production method of the traditional medium-manganese steel, and obvious cost saving and innovation are avoided.

Disclosure of Invention

The invention aims to overcome the problems and the defects and provide the 1300MPa ultra-high strength cold-rolled Mn-TRIP steel with the yield strength of 850-1100 MPa, the tensile strength of 1300-1500 MPa, the elongation after fracture of more than 30-35%, the hole expansion rate of more than or equal to 55% and the strength-plastic product of more than 40GPa percent and the preparation method thereof.

The invention aims at realizing the following steps:

A1300 MPa ultra-high strength cold-rolled Mn-TRIP steel comprises the following ：C：0.25％～0.35％,Si：0.15％～1.45％,Mn：6.5％～10.5％,Al：3.0％～5.0％,Cr：0.2％～1.0％,Mo：0.2％～1.0％,Ti：0.01～0.03％,Nb：0.02～0.04％,V：0.15％～0.25％,P≤0.015％,S≤0.005％ parts by weight of Fe and unavoidable impurities as the balance.

The Mn-TRIP steel has the yield strength of 850-1100 MPa, the tensile strength of 1300-1500 MPa, the elongation after fracture of 30-35%, the hole expansion rate of more than or equal to 55% and the strength-plastic product of more than 40GPa%.

The Mn-TRIP steel microstructure is a critical zone ferrite, epitaxial ferrite, residual austenite, bainite and martensite structure; each microstructure comprises the following components in percentage by volume: 10-30% of ferrite in the critical area, 8-15% of epitaxial ferrite, 35-45% of retained austenite and the balance of bainite and martensite structure.

Preferably, the average grain size of ferrite is between 0.5 and 1.5 μm, and the average grain size of retained austenite is between 0.1 and 0.3 μm.

Preferably, the mass percentage of C in the residual austenite is 1.3-1.6%.

The reason for designing the components of the invention is as follows:

C: c is an essential element for obtaining the expected strength of high-strength steel. In addition, in the invention, C mainly affects the content and stability of the residual austenite, thereby affecting the plasticity of the steel plate; the content of C is too low to reach the expected strength, the content and stability of austenite are reduced, and the plasticity is reduced; the high C content deteriorates the weldability of the steel sheet, and the high austenite stability deteriorates the TRIP effect, and further deteriorates both strength and plasticity.

Si: the Si element has the main function of inhibiting carbide precipitation in the high-strength steel, and is beneficial to the strength of the steel plate. In the present invention, si is mainly considered to expand the two-phase interval of the steel sheet, promote ferrite formation, and contribute to improvement of ferrite hardness.

Mn: mn is an essential element for obtaining the intended strength of high-strength steel. In addition, in the invention, mn mainly considers the content and stability of the residual austenite, thereby affecting the plasticity of the steel plate; meanwhile, mn element ensures the transformation quantity of martensite in the annealing rapid cooling stage, and prevents excessive ferrite or other phases from forming in the stage.

Al: the Al element conventionally acts as a deoxidizer in the steel. However, the effect of the Al content in the invention mainly considers that the temperature interval of the two-phase region is enlarged, the surface quality of the steel plate is improved, and the concentration of C in austenite is promoted to reach the standard.

Cr: cr is an element for improving the strength of high-strength steel. The Cr in the invention has the main effects of improving the surface quality of the steel plate, reducing edge cracks caused by too high addition of Mn and ensuring the performance uniformity of the steel plate from edge to middle to edge.

Mo: mo is an element that increases strength in high-strength steel. The Mo in the invention has the effects of improving the surface quality of the steel plate, improving the stability of austenite and further ensuring the strength and the plasticity.

V: the V element acts on precipitation strengthening in high-strength steel. The main effect of V in the invention is that the V is precipitated in the hot rolling stage, retained in ferrite in the rapid heat treatment stage, and the V is retained in martensite to improve the toughness of the steel plate.

Nb: nb element acts as precipitation strengthening in high-strength steel. In the invention, nb mainly considers strain-induced precipitation in the hot rolling stage, so that original austenite grains are refined, the size of the original austenite grains is ensured to be less than 10 mu m, and the final strength and plasticity are ensured.

Ti: nb element acts as precipitation strengthening in high-strength steel. In the invention, ti is mainly precipitated in a continuous casting solidification stage, so that original austenite grains are refined, the size of the original austenite grains is ensured to be less than 10 mu m, and the final strength and plasticity are ensured.

P: the P element is a precipitate phase formed with C in high-strength steel, and the performance of the steel plate is deteriorated, and the P element needs to be strictly controlled at 0.005%.

S: the S element is a precipitate phase formed with C in high-strength steel, and the performance of the steel plate is deteriorated, and is required to be strictly controlled at 0.005%.

The second technical scheme of the invention is to provide a preparation method of 1300MPa ultra-high strength plastic cold-rolled Mn-TRIP steel, which comprises smelting, continuous casting, heating, hot rolling, cover annealing, pickling, cold rolling, rapid heat treatment and finishing;

(1) Continuous casting: the casting blank pulling speed is less than or equal to 1.0m/min, so that the cracking and the steel leakage of the casting blank are prevented, and the warning is performed; the temperature of the tundish is 1500-1600 ℃; the thickness of the casting blank is 220-280 mm, the rolling reduction of the hot rolling is ensured, and the grain refinement effect is further enhanced.

(2) Heating: the heating temperature is 1180-1280 ℃, the precipitation behavior of Ti atoms is ensured, the formation and the precipitation of TiN or Ti (C, N) are ensured, and the effect of pinning the prior austenite grain boundary and refining the prior austenite grain is achieved.

(4) Acid washing: and (5) removing the oxidized iron scales generated on the hot-rolled surface and ensuring the surface quality of the cold-rolled steel plate.

(5) Cold rolling: the cold rolling reduction is 40% -58%, so that the rolling reduction of more than 40% of cold rolling is ensured, and tissue fibrosis in cold rolling configuration is promoted; meanwhile, the cold rolling reduction is prevented from being too high, so that deformation resistance is too high, and the rolling is difficult to achieve the target thickness.

(6) And (3) rapid heat treatment:

① The temperature of the steel plate is raised to 500-600 ℃ at a speed of 10-15 ℃/s, and austenite transformation nucleation does not exist during the temperature.

② Heating the steel plate to 850-950 ℃ at a speed of more than 150 ℃/s, and keeping the isothermal time at 5-15 s; the rapid temperature rise prevents excessive transformation of austenite at the stage, when the temperature is raised to 850-950 ℃, the austenite rapidly transforms to form nuclei, the isothermal time ensures that austenite grains grow greatly in the temperature range, and preferably, the reversed austenite grain size in a microstructure in the steel plate is 0.3-0.5 mu m, so that the performance of the steel plate is ensured.

③ The slow cooling temperature is 750-800 ℃, and the slow cooling speed is controlled to be 3-5 ℃/s; the austenite content is ensured, excessive epitaxial ferrite is prevented from forming, the epitaxial ferrite content is controlled to be 8-15%, and the performance of the steel plate is ensured.

④ Cooling to 80-150 ℃ at a cooling rate of more than 30 ℃/s, and preventing further formation of epitaxial ferrite at a high cooling rate, so as to ensure the performance of the steel plate; and prevents the formation of martensite at too low a temperature and bainite or other phases at too high a temperature.

⑤ And then heating to 200-340 ℃, wherein the isothermal time is 10-20 min, so that the diffusion of C with too low temperature is prevented from being inhibited, and the bainite transformation is prevented from being caused when the temperature is too high.

⑥ And then cooling to room temperature at a cooling rate of more than 5 ℃ per second to prevent excessive bainite formation at a low cooling rate.
