Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a low carbon micro-alloyed steel strip that shows such features that it can replace, in producing finished pieces being stamped or cut, the cold rolled strips till now used to obtain structures of reduced weight and good mechanical strength.
  • Said micro-alloyed or HSLA "High Strength Low Alloy" steels owe their name to the fact of including an addition of small quantities of niobium, vanadium, titanium and boron which hardly exceed the total quantity of 0.2%.
  • These elements instead of entering as alloying agents in the iron crystal lattice, carry out their action being combined with carbon and nitrogen in the matrix, thus forming finely dispersed carbides, nitrides and carbonitrides. These compounds contribute to the grain refining and cause the matrix hardening with their precipitation in the ferritic grains.
  • Object of the present invention is that of providing a strip of hot rolled, micro-alloyed low carbon steel with thickness ⁇ 0.7 mm which, particularly upon pickling and skinpassing, shows substantially the same metallurgical and geometrical features, as well as relating to planarity and deformability, of a cold rolled strip for producing stamped or sheared finished pieces, such as to be used as a valid substitute thereof.
  • the strip according to the present invention is preferably, although not exclusively, manufactured with in-line plants of the thin-slab type, as disclosed e.g. in WO2004/026497 in the name of the present applicant, which is schematically represented in Fig. 1 and is characterized, as set forth in claim 1, by a grain fineness better than grade 10 of ASTM E 112 standard in a percentage > 90% of the whole structure, with a ratio between yield point and breaking load ⁇ 70%.
  • the strip of micro-alloyed steel according to the present invention is preferably, although not exclusively, produced in thin-slab plants as schematically represented in Fig. 1, where references is made in particular to the plant being the object of the international publication WO2004/026497.
  • the following operating steps can be observed, downstream of the casting step: a) liquid core reduction; b) roughing step directly adjoining the continuous casting; c) heating in an induction furnace; e) finishing rolling; f) compact controlled cooling; g) coiling on a reel.
  • Such a plant is able to keep the temperature of the pre-strip (d) above 900°C in the steps preceding the final rolling.
  • the pre-strip rolling above preceding 900°C allows to keep solute in the ⁇ iron (austenitic phase) most of the micro-alloying agents by completely exploiting their function of limiting the growth of the austenitic grain and enhancing the hardening by precipitation in ferritic phase during the cooling step after the final rolling.
  • micro-alloyed steel strip according to the present invention shows a ratio between yield and breaking load equal or higher than 70%, as well as a good capability of being formed and cut under cold conditions.
  • the ratio between the breaking point under strain due to plain flexure ( ⁇ FP ) and the yield point ⁇ FP /R p0,2 is near to 1 and equal to 0.96, thereby constantly higher than that relating to the reference hot rolled material, comprised between 0.88 and 0.90, practically corresponding to the value of the same ratio as detected for cold rolled strips of the same grade.
  • the particular fine microstructure of these strips cause the same to be suitable for being finally cut and forming holes therein by punching, as well as the cold forming of complex shapes, in particular folds at 180° with bending radius equal to the thickness, for high strength steels having minimum warranted yield load comprised between 275 and 700N/mm 2 .
  • the cold forming of pieces having a complex shape is made easier also by the constant profile of the strip and its parallelism with deviation of less than 0.05 mm.
  • the various steel grades have a chemical analysis comprised within the limits listed in the following Table 1: Element Content (%) C 0.04-0.08 Mn 0.15-2.0 Si 0.06-0.60 P 0.010 max S 0.010 max Cr 0.35 max Ni 0.20 max Mo 0.25 max Cu 0.20 max Nb 0.012-0.070 V 0.02-0.03 Ti ⁇ 0.11 Al 0.025-0.050 N 0.0115 max
  • the total sum of micro-alloying elements (V, Ti and Nb) does not exceed 0.2%.
