  • Patent Documents 1 to 7, 9 to 10, and 12 to 14 disclose the inventions regarding steel sheets having a tensile strength of lower than 900 MPa, and the workability often cannot be maintained if the strength is further increased.
  • Patent Document 1 describes that annealing is performed in a single phase region and the subsequent cooling is performed to 400°C at a cooling rate of 6 to 20 °C/s.
  • the adhesion of a coating needs to be taken into account and heating needs to be performed before coating because 400°C is lower than the temperature of a coating bath.
  • the galvanized steel sheet cannot be manufactured in a continuous galvanizing and galvannealing line having no heating equipment before the coating bath.

  • Patent Document 15 since cooling is performed to Ms temperature or lower to form martensite before bainite transformation, equipment for reheating the steel sheet is required. Furthermore, the operating conditions need to be precisely controlled to achieve stable characteristics.
  • Patent Documents 16 and 17 the steel sheet needs to be maintained in a bainite-formation temperature range after annealing to obtain a microstructure mainly composed of bainite, which makes it difficult to achieve ductility.
  • the steel sheet In the case of a galvanized steel sheet, the steel sheet needs to be reheated to a temperature higher than the temperature of a coating bath.
  • Patent Document 18 only describes the improvement in hydrogen embrittlement of a steel sheet, and there is little consideration for workability although bendability is considered to some extent.
  • the ratio of a hard second phase to the entire microstructure needs to be increased to increase the strength of a steel sheet.
  • the ratio of a hard second phase is increased, the workability of a steel sheet is strongly affected by that of the hard second phase. The reason is as follows.
  • the ratio of the hard second phase is low, minimal workability is achieved by the deformation of ferrite itself that is a parent phase even if the workability of the hard second phase is insufficient.
  • the ratio of the hard second phase is high, the formability of a steel sheet is directly affected by the deformability of the hard second phase, not the deformation of ferrite. If the workability is insufficient, the formability is considerably degraded.
  • martensite is formed through water quenching by adjusting the fraction of ferrite and a hard second phase using a continuous annealing furnace that can perform water quenching. Subsequently, the temperature is increased and held to temper martensite, whereby the workability of the hard second phase is improved.
  • bainite When bainite is used, there is a problem in that the characteristics significantly vary due to the variation in a bainite-formation temperature range and the holding time.
  • martensite or retained austenite including bainite containing retained austenite
  • a mixed microstructure of martensite and bainite is considered to be used as a second phase microstructure to ensure both ductility and stretch-flangeability.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a high strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of 900 MPa or higher that can minimize the formation of bainite, which easily causes a variation in characteristics such as strength and formability, and can have both high strength and good formability and to provide an advantageous method for manufacturing the high strength steel sheet.

  • a high strength steel sheet having both good formability and high strength with a tensile strength of 900 MPa or higher that are targeted in the present invention can be obtained by the following method.
  • martensite transformation is caused while at the same time the transformed martensite is tempered.
  • the ratio of the thus-formed autotempered martensite is controlled to a certain ratio and also the distribution state of iron-based carbide grains included in the autotempered martensite is suitably controlled, whereby such a high strength steel sheet can be obtained.
  • a high strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of 900 MPa or higher that can achieve high strength, good workability, and good ductility can be obtained by forming an appropriate amount of autotempered martensite in a steel sheet and suitably controlling the distribution state of carbide grains included in the autotempered martensite. Therefore, the present invention significantly contributes to the weight reduction of automobile bodies.
  • the present invention contributes to decreases in the number of steps and in the cost.
  • the ratio between ferrite and a hard phase described below is important and thus the area ratio of ferrite needs to be 5% or more and 80% or less. If the area ratio of ferrite is less than 5%, ductility is not ensured. If the area ratio of ferrite is more than 80%, the area ratio of the hard phase becomes insufficient and thus the strength becomes insufficient.
  • the area ratio of ferrite is preferably set in the range of 10% or more and 65% or less.
  • autotempered martensite is a microstructure obtained by simultaneously causing martensite transformation and the tempering of the martensite through autotempering treatment, and not so-called tempered martensite obtained through quenching and tempering treatments as in the related art.
  • the microstructure is not a uniformly tempered microstructure formed by completing martensite transformation through quenching and then performing tempering through a temperature increase as in typical quenching and tempering treatments, but is a microstructure including martensites in different tempered states obtained by performing martensite transformation and the tempering of the martensite in stages through the control of a cooling process in a temperature range of Ms temperature or lower.
  • This autotempered martensite is a hard phase for increasing strength. If the area ratio of autotempered martensite is less than 15%, sufficient strength cannot be achieved and work hardening of ferrite cannot be facilitated. Thus, the area ratio of autotempered martensite needs to be 15% or more and is preferably 30% or more.
  • the microstructure of a steel sheet is preferably composed of ferrite and autotempered martensite within the above-described range.
  • phases such phases are formed, other phases such as bainite, retained austenite, and as-quenched martensite are sometimes formed. These phases may be formed as long as some parameters are within the tolerable ranges described below. The tolerable ranges will now be described.
  • Bainite is a hard phase that contributes to an increase in strength, but the characteristics significantly vary in accordance with the formation temperature range and the variation in the quality of material is sometimes increased. Therefore, the area ratio of bainite in a steel microstructure is desirably as low as possible, but up to 10% of bainite is tolerable. The area ratio of bainite is preferably 5% or less.
  • Area ratio of retained austenite 5% or less (including 0%)
  • Retained austenite is transformed into hard martensite when processed, which decreases stretch-flangeability.
  • the area ratio of retained austenite in a steel microstructure is desirably as low as possible, but up to 5% of retained austenite is tolerable.
  • the area ratio of retained austenite is preferably 3% or less.
  • Area ratio of as-quenched martensite 40% or less (including 0%)

  • desired characteristics as the entire steel sheet can be achieved by suitably controlling the amounts of martensites in different tempered states through autotempering treatment. Furthermore, since the autotempering treatment is performed without rapidly cooling a steel sheet to a low temperature range in which the martensite transformation is fully completed, the residual stress in the steel sheet is low and a steel sheet having a good plate shape is obtained, which is advantageous.
  • the third temperature range is 250°C or higher and 420°C or lower. If the temperature exceeds 420°C, bainite transformation is easily caused as described above.

Even if M is less than 300°C, autotempered martensite is obtained. However, since the temperature is low, martensite transformation and autotempering treatment tend to slowly proceed. Compared with the case of M ⁇ 300°C, a steel sheet needs to be cooled slowly or held at a low temperature for a long time to obtain desired autotempered martensite, which may considerably lower manufacturing efficiency. Thus, M is preferably 300°C or higher.
  • the area ratio of polygonal ferrite is measured, for example, through the image processing and analysis of a SEM micrograph taken at 1000 to 3000 power. Polygonal ferrite is observed in the steel sheet that has been annealed and cooled under the above-described conditions. To ensure that M is 300°C or higher, after a cold-rolled steel sheet having a desired composition is produced, the area ratio of polygonal ferrite is measured and thus M is obtained from the expression (1) using the contents of alloy elements that can be calculated from the composition of the steel sheet. In the case where M is less than 300°C, the heat treatment conditions are suitably adjusted such that the area ratio of polygonal ferrite becomes lower, to obtain desired M. For example, the annealing temperature in the first temperature range is further increased and the average cooling rate from the first temperature range to 550°C is further increased. Alternatively, the contents of the components in the expression (1) may be adjusted.
