  • the exemplary embodiments of the present invention also applies to such steel sheet with different top and bottom surface layers. This is because it is possible to achieve the color tone, surface adhesion and weldability that are some of the objectives of the present invention, e.g., just on one surface.

  • Analytical values and hardness distribution normally exhibit some errors and variations due to local segregation of component elements and structural non-uniformities, and can be determined through trials with suitable quantities sufficient to exclude outliers.
  • the state of nitriding which is an important condition for an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, including N increase due to nitriding and the content of N after annealing, is described below.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to the present invention provides that a difference in N content may be created between the surface layer part and the mid-thickness layer part of steel sheet: This difference is specified as (N content of 1/8 thickness surface layer) - (N content of 1/4 thickness mid-thickness layer).
  • Such value can be set at 100 ppm, preferably 200 ppm, more preferably 300 ppm, even more preferably 500 ppm, still more preferably 1000 ppm, yet more preferably 2000 ppm, and even more preferably 3000 ppm.
  • the difference is smaller than this, not only will the color tone, surface coating adhesion and weldability, which are some of the objectives of the present invention, not be achieved, but there may be a substantial variation in material quality due to variation in nitriding content, leading to substantial scattering in material quality within and between coils in actual production.
  • the upper limit of (N content of 1/8 thickness surface layer) can be set at 20000 ppm.
  • 20000 ppm can be specified for the 1/8 thickness surface layer because the N content of the outermost layer will become 20000 ppm or greater under normal conditions of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, which can readily cause surface problems such as plating defects.
  • the upper limit of (N content of 1/8 thickness surface layer) is preferably set at 6000 ppm, more preferably, 3000 ppm.
  • the resulting difference in hardness brought about between the surface layer and mid-thickness layer of the steel material is another distinguishing feature of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • This difference can be specified as steel sheet cross-sectional mean Vickers hardness of 1/8 thickness surface layer - steel sheet cross-sectional mean Vickers hardness of 1/4 thickness surface layer, the value of which is made 10 points of greater, preferably 30 points or greater, even more preferably 90 points or greater. If the difference is smaller than such value the color tone, surface coating adhesion and weldability that are some of the objectives of the present invention cannot be obtained. Furthermore, the difference in hardness between the surface layer and mid-thickness layer of the steel material can be specified in terms of (steel sheet cross-sectional maximum Vickers hardness of 1/8 thickness surface layer) - (steel sheet cross-sectional maximum Vickers hardness of 1/4 thickness mid-thickness layer).
  • the value can be made 20 points or greater, preferably 60 points or greater, more preferably 120 points or greater.
  • an appropriate state before nitriding should also be provided.
  • the N content of the steel sheet before nitriding is preferably made 0.0300% or less, as described above. If a large content of N is already contained before nitriding, it becomes difficult to produce the effect of the present invention.
  • an upper limit to the N content after nitriding is needed, which is set at N: 0.600% or less.
  • the N content is preferably made N: 0.300% or less, more preferably N: 0.150% or less, even more preferably N: 0.100% or less, still more preferably N: 0.050% or less, and even more preferably 0.030% or less.
  • a higher N content is preferable not just in order to further harden the areas hardened by nitriding but also to stably obtain the effect of nitriding.
  • the N increase must not extend over the entire sheet thickness. For example, it is preferable to efficiently increase the N content of the surface layer part such that the absolute value of (N increase of 1/8 thickness surface layer) / (N increase of 1/4 thickness mid-thickness layer) becomes 2.0 or more.
  • the reason for specifying an absolute value here is that the analytical value of the N content of the mid-thickness layer, in which the components hardly change, can in some cases become smaller than the value for the entire sheet thickness due to various types of errors and variations depending on the occasion of measurement.
  • This coefficient is preferably made 3.0, more preferably 5.0 or more, even more preferably 10 or more.
  • Ra is 0.90 ⁇ m or less and PPI is 250 or more. If Ra is too high or PPI is too low, the properties of color tone, surface coating adhesion, weldability etc, which are the objective of the present invention, will degrade due to the concavo-convexity of the surface.
  • Ra is preferably 0.80 ⁇ m or less, more preferably 0.70 ⁇ m or less, even more preferably 0.60 ⁇ m or less, still more preferably 0.50 ⁇ m or less.
  • PPI is preferably 300 or more, more preferably 350 or more, even more preferably 400 or more, still more preferably 450 or more, and yet more preferably 500 or more.
  • Ra concavo-convexities of uniform height
  • the lower limit of Ra preferably does not include 0, and can be realistically 0.02 ⁇ m or greater.
  • the upper limit of PPI is also not specified, and can be controlled based on nitriding conditions, temper rolling conditions, etc, depending on the purpose. Basically, the more N is segregated such that N concentration becomes higher closer to the surface, the lower the Ra and the higher the PPI will be.
  • One exemplary method of segregating N toward the surface is to perform nitriding for a relatively short time in an ammonia atmosphere.
  • the surface state can also be affected by the previously existing steel components and crystal grain diameter, the annealing temperature and cold rolling conditions, as well as the reduction ratio, number of passes and roll roughness during temper rolling after nitriding, the plating conditions when plating is performed, etc.
  • the basic control is the same as that conventionally performed, and can be achieved without problem by a person skilled in the art after several tests.
  • Conventionally, to control roughness in this manner it is possible to transfer the concavo-convexities of a roll during temper rolling after annealing, or perform morphological control based on surface coating, such as special electrolytic treatment or metal or other materials plating, as well as performing the morphological control of coating or the like precisely, since roughness also greatly depends on the state of adhesion of plating or the like to the steel sheet surface.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is barely affected by such conditions, making it possible to be advantageous in manufacturing operations.
  • the concavo-convexities of the roll conventionally, since the concavo-convexities of a roll are worn off by rolling, in order to keep the concavo-convexities of the steel sheet surface within a desirable range, it was necessary to frequently perform roll replacement or machining of concavo-convexities, which produced an excessive burden on productivity and labor, such as having to stop production for roll maintenance.
  • the surface state of the steel sheet is hardly affected by the method of temper rolling, and there is not much need to manage the wearing of the concavo-convexities of the roll, making it possible to perform mass processing.
  • the N concentration of the outermost surface layer of the steel sheet in particular is thought to contain a high concentration of N, which generally cannot be attained in the steel obtained by conventional dissolution.
  • the mid-thickness layer of the steel sheet is on the other hand as soft as conventional steel sheet.
  • the capability of the steel sheet of the present invention to form concavo-convexities produced by light processing, not dependent on processing conditions but inherent in the steel sheet itself, is due to differences in ductility between the surface layer part and mid-thickness layer part of the steel sheet, and indirectly to the difference in hardness. It would thus be preferable to properly control the hardness of the steel sheet in the thickness direction with the steel sheet according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.
  • the thickness of the hardened layer in the surface layer, the material quality, especially the ductility, of the surface layer part, the ratio between the surface layer and mid-thickness layer parts, etc, may affect the concavo-convexity of the surface layer which is preferable according to the present invention.
  • temper rolling is generally, to a large extent, performed after annealing, a desirable surface state can be obtained in the steel sheet according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention without performing special control, but since bending of hearth rolls when passing the sheet through a conventional continuous annealing line causes fine cracking to form in the steel sheet surface, temper rolling is not considered essential.
  • the steel sheet itself has the capability of forming fine uniform concavo-convexities on the surface in this manner, coating may adhere finely and uniformly, and assume a desirable morphology and distribution according to the concavo-convexities of the steel sheet, even if fine control of the coating conditions or the like is not performed in the coating process.
  • the mtriding conditions are discussed in further detail.
  • the nitriding process according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be advantageously performed simultaneously with or after the recrystallization annealing that follows cold rolling, continuously with the recrystallization annealing, but it is not limited to this. With regards the annealing method, both batch and continuously annealing can be employed.
  • continuous annealing is advantageous. Furthermore, in order to obtain a large benefit by controlling the material quality of the sheet surface and mid-thickness layers as specified by the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, it may be disadvantageous for the nitriding time and the subsequent thermal history to become too long, and in this regard as well, it is preferable for at least the nitriding process to be conducted with continuous annealing equipment. In the absence of a special reason, the use of continuously annealed sheet is assumed.
  • the nitriding process should be determined by taking into consideration not only the increase in N content of the steel sheet due to nitriding, but also the steel sheet components and recrystallization annealing conditions, as well as the thermal history after nitriding and the like, and by looking at the diffusion of N from the steel sheet surface to the inner area and at the changes in hardness along the sheet cross-section.
  • the color tone, surface coating adhesion and weldability that are the objective of the present invention cannot be obtained if one simply uses material quality determined by Rockwell hardness as an indicator.
  • the conditions here need to be determined with reference to an appropriate number of tests, but the fundamental idea is as follows, and the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can thus be specified.
  • nitriding should be performed with the steel sheet temperature of 550 to 800 °C. This can be achieved by setting the nitriding atmosphere to this temperature as in conventional annealing, passing the steel sheet through this atmosphere to bring the sheet temperature into this range, and simultaneously performing nitriding.
  • the nitriding atmosphere can be set to a lower temperature, and nitriding can be carried out by inserting steel sheet heated to this temperature range into that atmosphere.
  • the steel sheet nitriding efficiency may in some cases deterioration due to variation and breakdown of the atmosphere unrelated to nitriding of the steel sheet, so it may be specified as 550 to
  • the nitriding atmosphere may contain, by volumetric ratio, 10% or more nitrogen gas, preferably 20% or more, more preferably 40% or more, even more preferably 60% or more, and as necessary, it may contain 90% or less hydrogen gas, preferably 80% or less, more preferably 60% or less, still more preferably 20% or less; it may also contain 0.02% or more ammonia gas as necessary.
  • the rest can be oxygen gas, hydrogen gas, carbon dioxide gas, hydrogen carbide gas and various inert gases.
  • Ammonia gas in particular is highly effective in raising the nitriding efficiency and makes it possible to obtain a specific amount of nitriding within a short period of time, thus preventing diffusion of N into the steel sheet mid-thickness and providing an effect favorable to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Even 0.02% or less is adequate to achieve this effect, but 0.1 % or more is preferable, 0.2%» or more being more preferable, 1.0% or more being even more preferable, and 5% or more being more preferable still. At 10% or more, an adequate effect can be obtained with less than 5 seconds of nitriding.
  • nitriding generally does not take place in an atmosphere which mainly consists of nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas
  • a person skilled in the art would be able to modify the atmosphere to where nitriding took place after suitable trials, not only by admixture of ammonia gas as describe above, but also by modifying the dew point, by admixture of trace amounts of gases, modification of gas ratios, etc.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the present invention covers atmospheres for which it can be detected based on modern analytical capabilities that nitriding took place due to heat treatment including annealing at least.
  • the holding time in the nitriding atmosphere is generally not restricted, but in conjunction with the 550 °C or higher temperature conditions of the present invention, considering the steel sheet thickness of 0.400 mm maximum, in consideration of the fact that, if N, penetrating from the steel sheet surface due to nitriding by diffusion of N in the steel sheet, reaches the steel sheet mid-thickness layer while it is held in the nitriding atmosphere, it may not be possible to obtain the N distribution or hardness distribution which is the objective of the present invention, the upper limit is set at 360 seconds. Furthermore, even if nitriding efficiency is improved, 1 second is required to obtain the amount of nitriding and the nitrogen and hardness distribution in the thickness direction of the steel sheet that are required by the present invention.
  • 2 to 120 seconds may be preferable, 3 to 60 seconds more preferable, 4 to 30 seconds even more preferable, and 5 to 15 seconds more preferable still.
  • the nitriding efficiency should be increased by increasing the ammonia concentration or the like when controlling in a short time period.
  • the thermal history of the steel sheet after nitriding is also important for controlling the nitrogen distribution in the thickness direction of the steel sheet. Considering the thickness of the steel sheets in question and the diffusion of nitrogen in the steel, holding for a long time at a high temperature may not be desirable. However, it is also possible to make the effect of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention more pronounced by making the nitrogen distribution appropriately gradual through heat treatment.
  • the history in the 550 °C or higher temperature region is important, and the product of temperature (°C) and time (seconds) in this temperature region is preferably made 48000 or lower. This corresponds to 80 seconds at 600 °C or 60 seconds at 800 °C, but when the temperature is continuously changing, the effect thereof can be suitably evaluated by recording the temperature changes in approximately 5-second time slices and finding the sum of the products of temperature (°C) and time (seconds) for each time slice. It will be preferably 24000 or less, more preferably 12000 or less, and normally, the nitriding conditions will be preferably set such that the distribution of nitrogen in the steel is substantially determined once nitriding is completed.
  • the rate of cooling after nitriding greatly can influence the effect of the present invention.
  • differences in the cross-sectional hardness distribution may be observed because the state of formation of nitrides changes greatly in the cooling process, even at low temperature and in a short period of time, when there is hardly any change in the nitrogen distribution.
  • Making the mean rate of cooling from 550 ° to 300 °C 10 °C/s or greater will leave more solid-dissolved nitrogen, make the surface layer part relatively harder as compared to the mid-thickness layer, and improve the color tone, surface coating adhesion and weldability.
  • it is made 20 °C/s or more, with 50 °C/s or more being more preferable.
  • re-cold rolling can be performed after recrystallization annealing for hardness adjustment and sheet thickness adjustment.
  • the reduction ratios employed here range from 1 %, close to that of skin passing performed for shape adjustment, to 50% or more, the same as for cold rolling.
  • the same sort of re-cold rolling can be employed as for conventional steel sheet.
  • re-cold rolling is carried out in the range of about 0.5% to 2.5%).
  • the steel sheet of the present invention may also be normally subjected to this extent of rolling. Particular operation or control must be applied with the steel sheet of the present invention in cases where high re-cold rolling ratios in excess of 2.5% are employed for achieving higher strength and thinness.
  • the soft mid-thickness layer alone would preferentially undergo work hardening, and the preferential hardening of the surface layer alone, which is provided in the present invention to increase deformation resistance, would be lost, but the reality is the reverse.
  • the re-cold rolling ratio is of a normal extent, the re-cold rolling rather preferentially hardens the hard surface layer part with a high N content, making the hardness difference between the surface and mid-thickness layers formed in the steel sheet of the present invention more pronounced.
  • the surface layer is more susceptible to work hardening due to the large content of solid-dissolved N and nitrides, while the mid-thickness layer is constrained by the surface layer, so it cannot preferentially deform and does not selectively harden to greatly exceed the hardening of the surface layer.
  • the re-cold rolling ratio becomes remarkably high, the steel sheet itself will become sufficiently hard, making it possible to obtain adequate can strength even without controlling the material quality distribution in the sheet thickness direction as is done by the art of the present invention, but at the same time tending to reduce the effect of improved surface characteristics and weldability via control of surface roughness, which is a distinguishing feature of the present invention, so there is little meaning to increasing the re-cold rolling ratio beyond the normally applied range.
  • the reduction ratio is preferably made up to about 70%.
  • higher re-cold rolling ratios are desirable, being preferably 6% or greater, more preferably 10% or greater, even more preferably 20% or greater, yet more preferably 30% or greatly, and more preferably still, 40% or greater.
  • the reduction ratio is preferably made 0.8 to 45%, with 4 to 35% being more preferable, 6 to 30% being even more preferable, and 8 to 25% being more preferable still.
  • the time of re-cold rolling would be after the nitriding, but if recrystallization annealing and nitriding are performed in separate processes, re-cold rolling can also be performed before nitriding.
  • the material may soften locally due to the welding heat, and machining strain may be concentrated during flange molding or the like, degrading the moldability, but in the steel sheet of the present invention, which contains a large amount of N in the surface layer part, softening due to welding heat is restricted, so benefits can be obtained with regard to the moldability of welding areas as well.
  • the time of re-cold rolling would be after the nitriding, but if recrystallization annealing and nitriding are performed in separate processes, re-cold rolling can be performed before nitriding.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be applied to steel sheet with a sheet thickness of 0.400 mm or less. This is because with steel sheet of greater thickness, deformation of molded members is not likely to be a problem.
  • a steel sheet of preferably 0.300 mm or less, more preferably 0.240 mm or less is used, and a very marked effect can be obtained with steel sheet of 0.200 mm or less.
  • One of the effects of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention does not depend on the thermal history after component adjustment and before annealing, or on the manufacturing history.
  • the slab, bloom, or billet in cases where hot rolling is performed is not limited to any manufacturing method such as the ingot method or continuous casting method, and the effect of the present invention can be obtained with the slab reheating method, the CC-DR method, whereby hot rolling is performed directly without reheating the cast slab, or with thin slab casting whereby rough rolling and the like is omitted, since the effect of the present invention does not depend on the thermal history before annealing.
  • the effect of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention furthermore does not have to depend on the hot rolling conditions and can be obtained with two-phase region rolling with an ⁇ + ⁇ two-phase region finishing temperature, or with continuous hot rolling whereby rough bars are joined and rolled.
  • the steel sheet of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention when used as a material for containers with the welding area, softening of the heat affected zone is suppressed and the surface layer area with especially high N concentration rapidly cools and hardens, which has the effect of increasing the weld strength. This becomes more marked when elements such as B and Nb are added, which are conventionally used to control softening of heat affected zones.
  • the steel sheet of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes cases where surface treatment of whatever sort is carried out. Namely, in steel sheets used by the customers after surface treatment, color tone and weldability are necessary for the steel sheet after surface treatment, and the favorable state of the steel sheet surface which is necessary for these characteristics is not damaged by surface treatment in the case of steel sheet manufactured as described above.
  • the absolute value of PPI or Ra may change significantly due to the surface treatment, but the function which provides a favorable surface state for the steel sheet by controlling the hardness of the steel sheet in the thickness direction, i.e. the state wherein numerous low concavo-convexities are formed, can be adequately detected on the steel sheet even after surface treatment. This effect provides good color tone and weldability for the surface-treated steel sheet.
  • adhesion of surface coatings such as metal plating, paint or organic film (laminate)
  • the state of the steel sheet surface before surface treatment may be important.
  • creating a favorable steel sheet surface state by controlling the hardness of the steel sheet in the thickness direction as disclosed according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, e.g., creating a state wherein numerous low concavo-convexities are formed, may provide a good adhesion.
  • the exemplary embodiment of the present invention can be used for containers in general, whether they be two-piece cans or three-piece cans, and it goes without saying that it can be used in cases where the problem to be solved is similar to that described above, for whatever application.
  • Examples As an exemplary implementation of the present invention, an evaluation of color tone, surface coating adhesion and weldability was conducted using an Sn-plated steel sheet, which is one of the most commonly used types of steel sheet for containers. Regarding the adhesion, two sheets coated on both sides with 25 mg/m 2 epoxy phenol coating material, baked and dried, were thermal compression bonded with nylon adhesive to make test pieces, which were moistened with municipal water and subjected to a T-type peeling test to determine the peel strength. Obviously, higher peel strength was taken as indicating better adhesion in grading the samples.
  • Peel strength also depends on conditions other than steel components and the manufacturing conditions for obtaining the present invention, and the required level differs depending on the application and the like, so determining acceptability solely on the basis of absolute values may in some respects not always conform to practical utility. Nonetheless, less than 1.5 kg/5 mm was taken as "improvement required," 1.5 to 2.5 kg/5 mm was taken as
  • L values indicate superior color tone, and these values were used to grade the samples.
  • the L value also depends on conditions other than steel components and the manufacturing conditions for obtaining the present invention, and the required level differs depending on the application and the like, so determining suitability solely on the basis of absolute values may in some respects not always conform to practical utility.
  • the change in elements in the thickness direction before nitriding is extremely small, being of a negligible extent with regard to the effect of the exemplary embodiment of the present invention. Namely, the
  • N content of the 1/8 thickness surface layer and the N content of the 1/4 thickness mid-thickness layer were assumed to be the same in the steel sheet before nitriding.
  • Hot rolling, cold rolling and recrystallization annealing were performed to manufacture steel sheets from steels with the components shown in Tables 1 through 4.
  • the N quantities in Tables 1 through 4 are sheet thickness mean N quantities before nitriding.
