Definitions

  • This invention relates to a high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet suitable mainly as a vehicle body for automobiles and a method for producing the same.
  • the high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet according to the invention is a column-shaped structural member having a thickness susceptibility index of the stiffness near to 1 such as center pillar, locker, side flame, cross member or the like of the automobile and is widely suitable for applications requiring a stiffness.
  • the stiffness of the parts under the same shape of parts and welding conditions is represented by a product of Young's modulus of the material and geometrical moment of inertia of the part. Further, the geometrical moment of inertia can be expressed so as to be approximately proportionate to t ⁇ when the thickness of the material is t.
  • is a thickness susceptibility index and is a value of 1-3 in accordance with the shape of the parts. For example, in case of one plate shape such as panel parts for the automobile, ⁇ is a value near to 3, while in case of column-shape such as structural parts, ⁇ is a value near to 1.
  • ⁇ of the parts 3 if the thickness is made small by 10% while equivalently maintaining the stiffness of the parts, it is required to increase the Young's modulus of the material by 37%, while when ⁇ of the parts is 1, if the thickness is made small by 10%, it may be enough to increase the Young's modulus by 11%.
  • the Young's modulus is largely dependent upon the texture and is known to become high in a closest direction of atom. Therefore, it is effective to develop ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> in order to develop an orientation advantageous for the Young's modulus of steel being a body-centered cubic lattice in a steel making process comprising the rolling through rolls and the heat treatment, whereby the Young's modulus can be increased in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction.
  • the patent article 1 discloses a technique wherein a steel obtained by adding Nb or Ti to an extremely low carbon steel is hot-rolled at a rolling reduction at Ar 3 -(Ar 3 +150°C) of not less than 85% to promote transformation from non-crystallized austenite to ferrite to thereby render the texture of ferrite at the stage of the hot-rolled sheet into ⁇ 311 ⁇ 011> and ⁇ 332 ⁇ 113>, which is an initial orientation and is subjected to a cold rolling and a recrystallization annealing to render ⁇ 211 ⁇ 011> into a main orientation to thereby increase the Young's modulus in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction.
  • the patent article 2 discloses a method for producing a hot rolled steel sheet having an increased Young's modulus in which Nb, Mo and B are added to a low carbon steel having a C content of 0.02-0.15% and the rolling reduction at Ar 3 -950°C is made to not less than 50% to develop [211] ⁇ 011>.
  • patent article 3 discloses a method for producing a hot rolled steel sheet in which Si and Al are added to a low carbon steel having a C content of not more than 0.05% to enhance Ar 3 transformation point and the rolling reduction below Ar 3 transformation point in the hot rolling is made to not less than 60% to increase Young's modulus in a direction perpendicular to the rolling direction.
  • the aforementioned techniques have the following problems.
  • the Young's modulus of the steel sheet is increased by using the extremely low carbon steel having a C content of not more than 0.01% to control the texture, but the tensile strength is low as about 450 MPa at most, so that there is a problem in the increase of the strength by applying this technique.
  • the crystal grains are coarsened by conducting the rolling at the ferrite zone, so that there is a problem that the workability is considerably deteriorated.
  • the increase of the Young's modulus in the steel sheet by the conventional techniques is targeted to hot rolled steel sheets having a thick thickness or soft steel sheets, so that it is difficult to increase the Young's modulus of high-strength thin steel sheet having a thickness of not more than 2.0 mm by using the above conventional techniques.
  • a strengthening mechanism for increasing the tensile strength of the steel sheet to not less than 590 MPa there are mainly a precipitation strengthening mechanism and a transformation texture strengthening mechanism.
  • the precipitation strengthening mechanism When the precipitation strengthening mechanism is used as the strengthening mechanism, it is possible to increase the strength while suppressing the lowering of the Young's modulus of the steel sheet as far as possible, but the following difficulty is accompanied. That is, when utilizing the precipitation strengthening mechanism for finely precipitating, for example, a carbonitride of Ti, Nb or the like, in the hot rolled steel sheet, the increase of the strength is attained by conducting the fine precipitation in the coiling after the hot rolling, but in the cold rolled steel sheet, the coarsening of the precipitate can not be avoided at the step of recrystallization annealing after the cold rolling and it is difficult to increase the strength through the precipitation strengthening.
  • the precipitation strengthening mechanism for finely precipitating for example, a carbonitride of Ti, Nb or the like
  • an object of the invention to solve the above problems and to provide a high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet having a tensile strength of not less than 590 MPa, preferably not less than 700 MPa, a Young's modulus of not less than 230 GPa, preferably not less than 240 GPa and a thickness of not more than 2.0 mm as well as an advantageous method for producing the same.
  • the high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet according to the item (I) optionally further contains one or two of Nb: 0.005-0.04% and V: 0.01-0.20% as mass% in addition to the above composition and satisfies the relationships of the above equation (1) and the following equation (3) instead of the equation (2): 0.01 ⁇ C - 12 / 47.9 ⁇ Ti * - 12 / 92.9 ⁇ Nb - 12 / 50.9 ⁇ V ⁇ 0.05
  • (IV) A method for producing a high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet having a thickness of not more than 2.0 mm, comprising subjecting a starting material of steel having a composition as defined in (I) to (III) above to a hot rolling step under conditions that a total rolling reduction below 950°C is not less than 30% and a finish rolling is terminated at 800-900°C, coiling the hot rolled sheet below 650°C, pickling, subjecting it to a cold rolling at a rolling reduction of not less than 50%, and, to conduct annealing, raising a temperature from 500°C to 780-900°C at a temperature rising rate of 1-30°C/s to conduct soaking, and then cooling to 500°C at a cooling rate of not less than 5°C/s.
  • a high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet having a tensile strength of not less than 590 MPa and a Young's modulus of not less than 230 GPa.
  • the starting material of low carbon steel added with Mn and Ti is roll-reduced below 950°C in the hot rolling to promote the transformation from non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite and then cold rolled to develop a crystal orientation useful for the improvement of Young's modulus and thereafter a low-temperature transformation phase suppressing the lowering of the Young's modulus is produced and a greater amount of ferrite phase useful for the improvement of the Young's modulus is retained in the cooling stage by the control of the heating rate in the annealing step and the soaking at two-phase region, whereby the thin steel sheet satisfying higher strength and higher Young's modulus can be produced, which develops an effective effect in industry.
  • the starting material of low carbon steel added with Mn and Ti is roll-reduced at an austenite low-temperature region in the hot rolling to increase the non-recrystallized austenite texture having a crystal orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 111>, and subsequently the transformation from the non-recrystallized austenite of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 111> to ferrite is promoted in the cooling stage to develop ferrite orientation of ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110>.
  • the rolling is carried out at a rolling reduction of not less than 50% to turn the crystal orientation of ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110> to ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> useful for the improvement of the Young's modulus, and in the temperature rising stage at the subsequent annealing step, the temperature is raised from 500°C to the soaking temperature at a heating rate of 1-30°C/s to promote the recrystallization of ferrite having an orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> and provide a two-phase region at a state of partly retaining the non-recrystallized grains of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110>, whereby the transformation from the non-recrystallized ferrite of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> to austenite can be promoted.
  • ferrite grains having an orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> is grown to enhance the Young's modulus, while the steel enhancing the hardenability by the addition of Mn is cooled at a rate of not less than 5°C/s to produce the low-temperature transformation phase, whereby it is attempted to increase the strength.
  • the low-temperature transformation phase is produced by retransforming the austenite phase transformed from ferrite having an orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> during the cooling, so that ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> can be also developed even in the crystal orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase.
  • the Young's modulus is enhanced by developing ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> of ferrite phase, and particularly ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> is increased in the orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase largely exerting on the lowering of the Young's modulus, whereby the strength can be increased by the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase and the lowering of the Young's modulus accompanied with the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase can be largely suppressed.
  • the high-stiffness high-strength thin steel sheet according to the invention is a steel sheet having a tensile strength of not less than 590 MPa, preferably not less than 700 MPa, a Young's modulus of not less than 230 GPa, preferably not less than 240 GPa, and a thickness of not more than 2.0 mm.
  • the steel sheet to be targeted in the invention includes steel sheets subjected to a surface treatment such as galvanization inclusive of alloying, zinc electroplating or the like in addition to the cold rolled steel sheet.
  • C is an element stabilizing austenite and can largely contribute to increase the strength by enhancing the hardenability at the cooling stage in the annealing after the cold rolling to largely promote the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase. Further, C can contribute to increase the Young's modulus by promoting the transformation of ferrite grains having ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> after the cold rolling from the non-recrystallized ferrite to austenite in the temperature rising stage at the annealing step.
  • the C content is required to be not less than 0.02%, preferably not less than 0.05%, more preferably not less than 0.06%.
  • the C content exceeds 0.15%, the fraction of hard low-temperature transformation phase becomes large, and the strength of the steel is extremely increased but also the workability is deteriorated.
  • the greater amount of C suppresses the recrystallization of the orientation useful for the increase of the Young's modulus at the annealing step after the cold rolling. Further, the greater amount of C brings about the deterioration of the weldability. Therefore, the C content is required to be not more than 0.15%, preferably not more than 0.10%.
  • Si raises the Ar 3 transformation point in the hot rolling, so that when the rolling is terminated at 800-900°C, if Si is contained in an amount exceeding 1.5%, the rolling at austenite region becomes difficult and the crystal orientation required for the increase of the Young's modulus can not be obtained. Also, the greater amount of Si deteriorates the weldability of the steel sheet but also promotes the formation of fayalite on a surface of a slab in the heating at the hot rolling step to accelerate the occurrence of surface pattern so-called as a red scale. Furthermore, in case of using as a cold rolled steel sheet, Si oxide produced on the surface deteriorates the chemical conversion processability, while in case of using as a galvanized steel sheet, Si oxide produced on the surface induces non-plating. Therefore, the Si content is required to be not more than 1.5%. Moreover, in case of steel sheets requiring the surface properties or the galvanized steel sheet, the Si content is preferable to be not more than 0.5%.
  • Si is an element stabilizing ferrite and promotes the ferrite transformation at the cooling stage after the soaking of two-phase region in the annealing step after the cold rolling to enrich C in austenite, whereby austenite can be stabilized to promote the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase.
  • the strength of steel can be increased, if necessary.
  • the Si content is desirable to be not less than 0.2%.
  • Mn is one of important elements in the invention. Mn has an action of suppressing the recrystallization of worked austenite in the hot rolling. Also, Mn can promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite to develop ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110> and improve the Young's modulus in the subsequent cold rolling and annealing steps.
  • Mn as an austenite stabilizing element lowers Ac 1 transformation point in the temperature rising stage at the annealing step after the cold rolling to promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized ferrite to austenite, and can develop the orientation useful for the improvement of the Young's modulus to control the lowering of the Young's modulus accompanied with the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase with respect to the orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase produced in the cooling stage after the soaking.
  • Mn enhances the hardenability in the cooling stage after the soaking and annealing at the annealing step to largely promote the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase, which can largely contribute to the increase of the strength. Further, Mn acts as a solid-solution strengthening element, which can contribute to the increase of the strength in steel. In order to obtain such an effect, the Mn content is required to be not less than 1.0%, preferably not less than 1.5%.
  • the Mn content exceeds 3.5%, Ac 3 transformation point is excessively lowered in the temperature rising stage at the annealing step after the cold rolling, so that the recrystallization of ferrite phase at the two-phase region is difficult and it is required to raise the temperature up to an austenite single-phase region above Ac 3 transformation point.
  • ferrite of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> orientation useful for the increase of the Young's modulus obtained by the recrystallization of worked ferrite can not be developed to bring about the lowering of the Young's modulus.
  • the greater amount of Mn deteriorates the weldability of the steel sheet.
  • the greater amount of Mn enhances the deformation resistance of steel in the hot rolling to increase the rolling load, which causes the difficulty in the operation. Therefore, the Mn content is not more than 3.5%.
  • the P content is required to be not more than 0.05%.
  • P is an element effective for the increase of the strength as a solid-solution strengthening element and has an action of promoting the enrichment of C in austenite as a ferrite stabilizing element. In the steel added with Si, it has also an action of suppressing the occurrence of red scale. In order to obtain these actions, the P content is preferable to be not less than 0.01%.
  • S considerably lowers the hot ductility to induce hot tearing and considerably deteriorate the surface properties. Further, S hardly contributes to the strength but also forms coarse MnS as an impurity element to lower the ductility and drill-spreading property. These problems become remarkable when the S content exceeds 0.01%, so that it is desirable to reduce the S content as far as possible. Therefore, the S content is not more than 0.01 %. From a viewpoint of improving the drill-spreading property, it is preferable to be not more than 0.005%.
  • Al is an element useful for deoxidizing steel to improve the cleanness of the steel.
  • Al is a ferrite stabilizing element, and largely raises the Ar 3 transformation of the steel, so that when the finish rolling is terminated at 800-900°C, if the Al content exceeds 1.5%, the rolling at austenite region becomes difficult to suppress the development of the crystal orientation required for the increase of the Young's modulus. Therefore, the Al content is required to be not more than 1.5%. From this viewpoint, Al is preferable to be made lower, and further preferable to be limited to not more than 0.1%.
  • A1 as a ferrite forming element promotes the formation of ferrite in the cooling stage after the soaking at the two-phase region in the annealing step after the cold rolling to enrich C in austenite, whereby austenite can be stabilized to promote the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase.
  • the strength of the steel can be enhanced, if necessary.
  • the Al content is desirable to be not less than 0.2%.
  • N is a harmful element because slab breakage is accompanied in the hot rolling to cause surface defect.
  • the N content exceeds 0.01%, the occurrence of slab breakage and surface defect becomes remarkable.
  • a carbonitride forming element such as Ti, Nb or the like is added, N forms a coarse nitride at a high temperature to suppress the effect by the addition of the carbonitride forming element. Therefore, the N content is required to be not more than 0.01%.
  • Ti is a most important element in the invention. That is, Ti controls the recrystallization of worked austenite at the finish rolling step in the hot rolling to promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite and develop ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110>, and can increase the Young's modulus at the subsequent cold rolling and annealing steps.
  • the recrystallization of worked ferrite is suppressed in the temperature rising stage at the annealing step after the cold rolling to promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized ferrite to austenite, and the orientation useful for the increase of the Young's modulus can be developed with respect to the orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase produced in the cooling stage after the soaking to suppress the lowering of the Young's modulus accompanied with the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase.
  • a fine carbonitride of Ti can contribute to the increase of the strength.
  • the Ti content is required to be not less than 0.02%, preferably not less than 0.03%.
  • the Ti content exceeds 0.50%, all the carbonitride can not be solid-soluted in the re-heating at the usual hot rolling step and a coarse carbonitride remains, and hence the effect of suppressing the recrystallization of worked austenite at the hot rolling step or the effect of suppressing the recrystallization of worked ferrite at the annealing step after the cold rolling can not be obtained. Also, even if the hot rolling of the slab after the continuous casting is started as it is without conducting the re-heating after the continuously cast slab is cooled, when the Ti content exceeds 0.50%, the improvement of the effect of suppressing the recrystallization is not recognized and also the increase of the alloy cost is brought about. Therefore, the Ti content is required to be not more than 0.50%, preferably not more than 0.20%.
  • Ti is liable to easily form coarse nitride and sulfide at a high temperature region.
  • the C amount not fixed as the carbide calculated by (C-(12/47.9) ⁇ Ti*) is required to be not more than 0.05%.
  • the C amount not fixed as the carbide is less than 0.01 %, the C content in austenite decreases in the annealing at two-phase region after the cold rolling to suppress the formation of martensite phase after the cooling and hence it is difficult to increase the strength. Therefore, the amount of C-(12/47.9) ⁇ Ti* as the C amount not fixed as the carbide is 0.01-0.05 %.
  • one or two of Nb: 0.005-0.04% and V: 0.01-0.20% and one or more of Cr, Ni, Mo, Cu and B may be added, if necessary, in addition to the above definition of the chemical composition.
  • Nb is an element contributing to the increase of the strength by forming a fine carbonitride. Also, it is an element contributing to the increase of the Young's modulus by suppressing the recrystallization of worked austenite at the finish rolling step in the hot rolling to promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite.
  • the Nb content is preferable to be not less than 0.005%.
  • the Nb content exceeds 0.04%, the rolling load considerably increases in the hot rolling and cold rolling and the difficulty is accompanied in the production, so that the Nb content is preferably not more than 0.04%, more preferably not more than 0.01%.
  • V is an element contributing to the increase of the strength by forming a fine carbonitride. Since it has such an action, the V content is preferable to be not less than 0.01.%. On the other hand, when the V content exceeds 0.20%, the effect of increasing the strength by the amount exceeding 0.20% is small and the increase of the alloy cost is caused. Therefore, the V content is preferable to be 0.01-0.20%.
  • Nb and V form the carbide to decrease the C content not fixed as the carbide. Therefore, in order to render the C content not fixed as the carbide into 0.01-0.05%, when Nb and/or V are added, the value of C-(12/47.9) ⁇ Ti*-(12/92.9) ⁇ Nb-(12/50.9) ⁇ V is required to be 0.01-0.05%.

Further, the recrystallization of worked austenite is suppressed in the hot rolling step to promote the transformation from non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite and develop ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110>, and the Young's modulus can be increased at the subsequent cold rolling and annealing steps. In order to obtain such an effect, Cr is preferable to be included in an amount of not less than 0.1%.
  • the Cr content exceeds 1.0%, the above effect is saturated and the alloy cost increases, so that Cr is preferable to be included in an amount of not more than 1.0%.
  • the oxide of Cr produced on the surface induces the non-plating, so that Cr is preferable to be included in an amount of not more than 0.5%.
  • Ni is an element stabilizing austenite to enhance the hardenability, and can largely contribute to the increase of the strength by largely promoting the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase in the cooling stage after the soaking at the annealing step. Further, Ni as an austenite stabilizing element lowers Ac 1 transformation point in the temperature rising stage at the annealing step after the cold rolling to promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized ferrite to austenite, and develops the orientation useful for the increase of the Young's modulus with respect to the orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase produced in the cooling stage after the soaking, whereby the lowering of the Young's modulus accompanied with the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase can be suppressed.
  • Ni suppresses the recrystallization of worked austenite in the hot rolling to promote the transformation from the non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite to thereby develop ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110>, whereby the Young's modulus can be increased at the subsequent cold rolling and annealing steps.
  • the surface defect is induced by cracking accompanied with the lowering of the hot ductility in the hot rolling, but the occurrence of the surface defect can be controlled by composite addition of Ni.
  • Ni is preferable to be included in an amount of not less than 0.1%.
  • Ni content exceeds 1.0%
  • Ac 3 transformation point is extremely lowered in the temperature rising stage at the annealing step after the cold rolling and the recrystallization of ferrite phase at the two-phase region is difficult, and hence it is required to raise the temperature up to austenite single phase region above Ac 3 transformation point.
  • ferrite of orientation obtained by the recrystallization of worked ferrite and useful for the increase of the Young's modulus can not be developed to bring about the decrease of the Young's modulus.
  • the alloy cost increases. Therefore, Ni is preferable to be included in an amount of not more than 1.0%.
  • Mo is an element enhancing the hardenability by making small the mobility of the interface, and can largely contribute to the increase of the strength by largely promoting the formation of the low-temperature transformation phase in the cooling stage at the annealing step after the cold rolling. Further, the recrystallization of worked austenite can be suppressed, and the transformation from the non-recrystallized austenite to ferrite is promoted to develop ⁇ 113 ⁇ 110> and the Young's modulus can be increased at the subsequent cold rolling and annealing steps. In order to obtain such an action, Mo is preferable to be included in an amount of not less than 0.1%.

  • the feature that a hard martensite phase among the low-temperature transformation phases is particularly existent in the texture is advantageous because the fraction of the second phase for obtaining the target tensile strength level is made small and the fraction of ferrite phase is made large, whereby the increase of the Young's modulus is attained and further the workability can be improved.

  • the orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase transformed in the cooling stage after the soaking can not be controlled, and the Young's modulus is largely lowered by the low-temperature transformation phase having such a strain. Therefore, the coiling temperature after the finish rolling is required to be not higher than 650°C.
  • the coiling temperature is too low, a great amount of the hard low-temperature transformation phase is produced and the load in the subsequent cold rolling is increased to cause the difficulty in the production, so that it is preferable to be not lower than 400°C.
  • Cold rolling is carried out at a rolling reduction of not less than 50% after the pickling.

  • the Young's modulus can be increased by promoting the growth of ferrite grains having an orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> when austenite is transformed into ferrite in the cooling after the soaking. Further, when the strength is increased by producing the low-temperature transformation phase, austenite phase transformed from ferrite having an orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> is re-transformed in the cooling, so that ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> can be also developed with respect to the crystal orientation of the low-temperature transformation phase.
  • the reason why the soaking temperature is 780-900°C is due to the fact that when it is lower than 780°C, the non-recrystallized texture remains, while when it exceeds 900°C, the amount of austenite produced becomes large and it is difficult to develop ferrite having an orientation of ⁇ 112 ⁇ 110> useful for the increase of the Young's modulus.
