  • the present invention relates to a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet excellent in coating film adhesion, and more particularly, to a cold-rolled steel sheet which has a tensile strength no lower than 550 MPa and is suitable for use as a steel sheet for automobile parts on account of its excellent coating film adhesion.
  • Si is less influential in reducing ductility and is effective in increasing strength while retaining ductility.
  • Si content is poor in chemical treatability and hence in coating film adhesion. Consequently, it was necessary to reduce Si content in the case where chemical treatability is important.
  • excess Si forms an Si-containing intergranular oxide on the surface of steel sheet, thereby causing cracks to occur and aggravating coating film adhesion.
  • IF steel Interstitial Free steel.
  • IF steel is limited in carbon content (no more than 0.005%) and has its texture controlled by a specific recrystallization temperature, so that it is improved in deep drawability.
  • IF steel with a very low carbon content will not achieve the high strength intended by the present invention.
  • the retained austenite-containing steel sheet mentioned above contains such alloying elements as C, Si, Mn, and A1 in large amounts so as to secure retained austenite. Therefore, it is poor in weldability.
  • An example of steel having an Si/Mn ratio lower than 1 is mild steel nearly free of Si, which is known to have good chemical treatability.
  • a certain amount of Si is necessary for steel to have both high strength and good ductility, and hence there is a limit of reducing the Si content to keep the Si/Mn ratio below 1.
  • a steel sheet does not always exhibit good chemical treatability even though it has a Si/Mn ratio lower than 1, for a certain Si content and an adequately controlled Mn content.

  • oxides composed mainly of Si means those oxides in which Si (as one of the constituents excluding oxygen) accounts for no less than 70% in atomic ratio. Such oxides are considered to be amorphous according to the result of analysis.
  • the ratio of the surface area of steel sheet which is covered by the oxides composed mainly of Si was obtained by observation under a TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope), quantitative analysis and mapping of Si, O, Mn, and Fe by EDX (Energy Dispersive X-ray), and image analysis of these data.
  • Observation under a TEM was accomplished by using an extraction replica, which is explained in Examples given later.

  • the present inventors have carried out a series of researches to obtain a high-strength steel sheet excellent in coating film adhesion and proposed a technique for improving the chemical treatability of a steel sheet containing Si in a comparatively large amount.
  • This technique is intended to improve chemical treatability by finely dispersing amorphous Si oxides detrimental to chemical treatability while controlling the annealing atmosphere.
  • major oxides that occur when the Si content is relatively low Si content: 0.05 to 2% as defined in the present invention
  • Si-Mn complex oxides rather than amorphous Si oxides. It is considered that these complex oxides are also detrimental to coating film adhesion.
  • the present inventors searched for the possibility of positively using Si-Mn complex oxides for improvement of chemical treatability.
  • the electrochemical inhomogeneous field mentioned above should preferably be of the same size.
  • the present invention specifies that there should exist Si-Mn complex oxides no larger than 5 ⁇ m in diameter of the equivalent circle as many as 10 or more per 100 ⁇ m 2 (or 1 per 10 ⁇ m 2 or more on average), with the average distance between particles of complex oxides being several micrometers. This condition is necessary for easy formation of the electrochemical inhomogeneous field of the above-specified size.
  • the number of particles of Si-Mn complex oxides should preferably be 50 or more per 100 ⁇ m 2 , more preferably 100 per or more 100 ⁇ m 2 , and most desirably 150 or more per 100 ⁇ m 2 , because the electrochemical inhomogeneous field does not necessarily occur in every particle of the Si-Mn complex oxides which are present.
  • An example of the Si-Mn complex oxides is Mn 2 SiO 4 . It is considered that about 50 nm is the maximum observable size of Si-Mn complex oxides.
  • the Si-Mn complex oxides functioning as nucleating sites for zinc phosphate crystals will not contribute to good chemical treatability if there exist other substances detrimental to chemical treatment. Hence, the resulting steel sheet will be poor in coating film adhesion.
  • oxides composed mainly of Si are present on the surface of steel sheet, zinc phosphate crystals do not form on them, which leads to considerably poor chemical treatability. Consequently, the present invention requires that the coverage of oxides composed mainly of Si on the surface of steel sheet should be no more than 10% of surface area.
  • the present inventors had previously proposed a technique of improving chemical treatability by finely dispersing oxides composed mainly of Si, as mentioned above.
  • the presence of oxides should be minimized in the present invention which is intended to utilize the action of Si-Mn complex oxides as mentioned above. Therefore, the coverage of oxides composed mainly of Si on the surface of steel sheet should preferably be no more than 5% of surface area, most desirably 0% of surface area.
  • Sharp cracks present on the surface of the steel sheet prevent zinc phosphate crystals from sticking to them at the time of chemical treatment. As the result, corrosion readily proceeds there, aggravating coating film adhesion. For this plausible reason, it is important to minimize the occurrence of sharp cracks in order to improve coating film adhesion.
  • the present inventors had previously proposed a technique of improving coating film adhesion by restricting to 10 ⁇ m or less the depth of linear oxides (narrower than 30 nm) composed of Si and oxygen. This technique is based on the assumption that continuous annealing will not be followed by pickling. However, in common practice, continuous annealing is followed by pickling, and pickling removes linear oxides, thereby causing cracks to occur.
  • the present inventors conceived that it would be possible to improve coating film adhesion more by controlling cracks than by regulating the depth of linear oxides (as in the technology they had previously proposed) and they investigated the shape of cracks to be controlled. As the result, it was found that zinc phosphate crystals hardly stick to cracks having a width approximately equal to or smaller than their particle diameter. This holds true particularly for cracks deeper than 5 ⁇ m. Thus, according to the present invention, cracks to be controlled are limited to those which are narrower than 3 ⁇ m and deeper than 5 ⁇ m.
  • the steel sheet according to the present invention is required to have the following chemical composition so that it has controlled cracks for efficient deposition of the above-mentioned oxides and it exhibits the characteristic properties of high-strength steel sheet.
  • oxides composed mainly of Si adversely affect chemical treatability, it is more desirable to suppress them as much as possible rather than finely dispersing them.
  • the object of suppressing such oxides can be achieved if the [Si]/[Mn] ratio in the chemical composition is no larger than 0.4, preferably no larger than 0.3.
  • Carbon is essential for strength.
  • the minimum carbon content is 0.05 mass%. An excess carbon content aggravates weldability. Therefore, the carbon content should be no larger than 1 mass%, preferably no larger than 0.23 mass%, and more preferably no larger than 0.15 mass%.
  • Si 0.05 to 2 mass% (for steel sheets 1 and 3)
  • Si increases strength without decreasing ductility, it may be contained in the steel sheet.
  • a certain amount of Si is necessary for the Si-Mn complex oxides with a diameter of the equivalent circle no larger than 5 ⁇ m to form as much as specified by the requirement (I) mentioned above.
  • a minimum amount of Si for this purpose is 0.05 mass%.
  • An adequate amount should be no less than 0.15 mass%, preferably no less than 0.3 mass%, and more preferably no less than 0.5 mass%. Si in an excess amount brings about solid solution hardening more than necessary, which leads to an increased rolling load. Therefore, the content of Si should be no larger than 2 mass%, preferably no larger than 1.5 mass%.
  • Mn is also essential for strength; however, excess Mn is detrimental to ductility.
  • An adequate content of Mn should be no less than 1 mass%, preferably no less than 2 mass%, and no more than 5 mass%, preferably no more than 3.5 mass%.
  • the steel sheet according to the present invention should contain the above-mentioned elements, with the remainder being substantially iron. It may contain inevitable impurities, such as A1 no more than 1 mass%, N no more than 0.01 mass%, and O no more than 0.01 mass%, originating from raw materials or incorporated depending on production conditions. It may be positively incorporated with additional elements, such as Cr, Mo, Ni, Ti, Nb, V, P, and B, in an amount not harmful to the effect of the present invention.
  • the amount of these additional elements to strengthen the steel sheet is specified as follows. Cr : 0.1 to 1 mass% Mo : 0.1 to 1 mass% Ni : 0.1 to 1 mass% Ti : 0.005 to 0.1 mass% Nb : 0.005 to 0.1 mass% V : 0.0005 to 0.01 mass% P : 0.005 t0 0.1 mass% B : 0.0003 to 0.01 mass%
