Definitions

  • the present invention relates to duplex stainless steel sheet with excellent press-formability such as stretchability.
  • Austenitic stainless steel such as SUS304 is excellent in balance of corrosion resistance and workability, so is being used for a broad range of applications such as for kitchen appliances, household electric appliances, and electronic equipment.
  • austenitic stainless steel is much higher in elongation at break compared with ferritic stainless steel or duplex stainless steel, is excellent in stretchability, and is often preferred for press-formability of steel sheet.
  • austenitic stainless steel contains large amounts of the rare and expensive Ni, so has problems in general applicability and economy in the future.
  • duplex stainless steel which conserves on the amount of Ni has been known.
  • PLTs 1 to 3 disclose high strength duplex stainless steels for automotive use which contain Ni: 1 to 7%, Si: over 1 to 5%, N: 0.04 to 2%, and Cr: 17 to 22% and which have Mn, Cu, etc. added to adjust the Ni balance value and raise the Young's modulus.
  • These duplex stainless steels are characterized by high Si and low Ni and are provided with a high strength of a 0.2% proof stress of over 500 MPa and a high elongation.
  • PLT 4 and PLT 5 disclose austenitic-ferritic stainless steels with excellent formability which restrict the amount of Ni to 3% or less and adjust the C+N and ingredient balance in the austenite phases to obtain a high ductility.
  • PLT 6 discloses austenitic-ferritic stainless steel with excellent stretchability and crevice corrosion resistance which restricts the amount of Ni to 1% or less and the amount of Mn to 2% or less and adds an amount of N in 0.05 to 0.6% in range.
  • the amount of Ni is reduced by adding an amount of N in at least 0.08% or more.
  • PLT 7 has disclosed ferritic-austenitic stainless steels with excellent corrosion resistance and workability which make the upper limit of the amount of N 0.15% and thereby lower the amount of Ni.
  • These stainless steels set Cr+3Mo+10N-Mn ⁇ 18% from the viewpoint of the corrosion resistance and define the size, aspect ratio, and intergranular distance of austenite grains from the viewpoint of the workability.
  • the steels disclosed in the above publication have less than 50% of austenite phases and are mainly comprised of ferrite phases.
  • the steels disclosed in the above PLTs use quite a bit of N to conserve Ni and raise the strength. Much research is being performed on the effects of N on the mechanical properties of stainless steel and other ferrous metal materials. Addition of N has a large effect on the rise of the 0.2% proof stress. For example, in NPLT 1, if adding over 0.1% of N to the Fe-Cr-Ni-Mn alloy, at ordinary temperature, the 0.2% proof stress greatly exceeds 400 MPa. In actuality, the steels disclosed in PLTs 1 to 3 have 0.2% proof stresses of over 500 MPa. PLTs 4 to 7 do not describe a 0.2% proof stress, but from NPLT 1, it is easy to deduce that the value is over 400 MPa.
  • the present invention has as its object to provide duplex stainless steel sheet with excellent press-formability provided with a 0.2% proof stress and Erichsen value equivalent to those of SUS304 and other austenitic stainless steel by controlling the steel ingredients, the Ni balance, and the austenite phase rate.
  • the inventors engaged in intensive research on the effects of ingredients, the Ni balance, and the austenite phase rate on the 0.2% proof stress and Erichsen value of duplex stainless steel conserving Ni so as to solve the above problem and thereby completed the present invention:
  • the gist of the present invention is as follows:
  • the present invention it is possible to provide a duplex stainless steel sheet with excellent press-formability which defines the ingredients of the steel, Ni balance, and austenite phase rate to obtain a 0.2% proof stress and Erichsen value equal to that of SUS304 or another austenitic stainless steel.
  • the remarkable effect is exhibited that the duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention can be pressed-formed no different from SUS304 or other austenitic stainless steel sheet and Ni can be conserved.
  • Table 1 shows representative ingredients of the test steel.
  • Duplex stainless steels of these ingredients were vacuum melted and used to produce 5 mm thick hot rolled sheets.
  • the hot rolled sheets were annealed at 1050°C and then pickled to produce 0.6 mm thick cold rolled sheets.
  • the cold rolled sheets were annealed at 1050°C.
  • the cold rolled annealed sheets were measured for austenite ( ⁇ ) phase rate and were used for a JIS No. 13B tensile test and Erichsen test.
  • the ⁇ -phase rate was found by measurement of a phase map identifying the fcc and bcc crystal structures by the EBSP method at the sheet cross-sections.
  • the JIS No. 13B tensile test obtains a tensile test piece from the rolling direction, sets the tensile speed at 10 mm/min (range prescribed in JIS Z 2241), and measures the 0.2% proof stress (0.2% PS), tensile strength (TS), and elongation at break (EL).
  • the Erichsen test obtains a 90 mm square test piece, performs the Method B based on JIS Z 2247 (wrinkle pressure of 1 ton), and measures the deformed height when a crack runs through the sheet thickness (Erichsen value).
  • Table 2 shows the mechanical properties, Erichsen value (Er), and ⁇ -phase rate ( ⁇ ) obtained from sheets of typical test sheet ingredients compared with ferrite ( ⁇ ) and ⁇ single phase SUS430LX and SUS304 steels.
  • Er Erichsen value
  • ⁇ ⁇ -phase rate
  • C raises the ⁇ -phase rate and concentrates in the ⁇ -phases to raise the stability of the ⁇ -phases.Therefore, it effectively acts to adjust the Ni-bal to express the press-formability targeted by the present invention. To obtain the above effect, 0.001% or more is contained. However, if over 0.05%, the strength of the ⁇ -phases rises and facilitates increased sensitization due to grain boundary precipitation of the carbides leading to a drop in corrosion resistance. For this reason, the upper limit is made 0.05%, preferably 0.03% or less.
  • Si selectively forms a solid solution at the ⁇ -phases, raises the strength and work hardening of the ⁇ -phases, and reduces the difference in strengths of the ⁇ -phases and the ⁇ -phases to express the press-formability targeted by the present invention. It is an essentially added element for this. Further, it has the action of raising the stability of the ⁇ -phases and suppressing the martensite transformation in the cooling process after annealing. If undergoing martensite transformation, the ⁇ -phases become hard phases and the workability is remarkably impaired. To obtain the effect on the workability targeted by the present invention, as shown also in FIG. 1 , 1.5% or more is added. However, over 3% addition invites an increase in the hardening of the ⁇ -phases and a drop in the workability. For this reason, the upper limit is made 3%. The preferable range is 1.5 to 2.5%.
  • Mn raises the ⁇ -phase rate and concentrates at the ⁇ -phases to raise the stability of the ⁇ -phases.Therefore, it effectively acts to adjust the Ni-bal to express the press-formability targeted by the present invention. To obtain the above effect, 1% or more is added. However, if over 5%, in addition to a drop in the corrosion resistance, the strength of the ⁇ -phases rises and a drop in the press-formability is invited. For this reason, the upper limit is made 5%. From the viewpoints of the workability and the corrosion resistance, the preferable range is 2 to 4.5%, more preferably 3 to 4%.
  • Cr is an element forming ⁇ -phases and also has the action of securing the corrosion resistance and adjusting the stability of the ⁇ -phases to express the press-formability targeted by the present invention. Further, Cr, like Si, suppresses the martensite transformation of the ⁇ -phases in the cooling process after annealing. Therefore, to secure the stability of the ⁇ -phases and the action on the corrosion resistance etc., the content is made 16% or more. However, if over 21%, making the ⁇ -phases the main phases becomes difficult. This invites a drop in the workability targeted by the present invention. For this reason, the upper limit is made 21% or less. From the viewpoints of the workability and corrosion resistance, the preferable range is 16.5 to 18.5%.
  • Ni is an effective element forming ⁇ -phases and effectively acts to adjust the Ni-bal to express the press-formability targeted by the present invention. To obtain this effect, 1% or more is added. However, if over 6%, it cannot be said that the Ni is conserved and a rise in the material costs is incurred. For this reason, the upper limit is made 6%. From the viewpoints of the workability and costs, the preferable range is 2 to 5%, more preferably 2.5 to 4.5%.
  • Cu is an effective element forming ⁇ -phases in the same way as Ni and Mn and effectively acts to adjust the Ni-bal to express the press-formability targeted by the present invention. To obtain this effect, 1% or more is added. Further, it is also an element effective for improvement of the corrosion resistance by composite addition with Ni. To obtain this effect, 0.5% or more is added. However, if over 3%, a drop in the manufacturability and a rise in the material costs are incurred. For this reason, the upper limit is made 3%. From the viewpoints of the performance and manufacturability, the preferable range is 1.5 to 2.5%.
  • N like C and Ni
  • N is an effective element for forming ⁇ -phases.It effectively acts to adjust the Ni-bal and expresses press-formability targeted by the present invention. For this reason, 0.001% or more is contained.
  • it has the action of raising the strength of the ⁇ -phases and the work hardening and enlarging the difference of strength of the ⁇ -phases and ⁇ -phases. For this reason, when actively utilizing the N in this way, this leads to a drop in the press-formability targeted by the present invention. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1 as well, the upper limit is made 0.07%. From the viewpoint of the workability targeted by the present invention, the preferable range is 0.02 to 0.06%.
  • Mo may be suitably added for improving the corrosion resistance.
  • 0.1% or more is preferably added.
  • the content is made 1% or less. From the viewpoints of the corrosion resistance and economy, the preferable range when added is respectively 0.2 to 0.8%.
  • Nb, V, and Ti improve the corrosion resistance and express effects similar to Si. That is, by solution strengthening of the ⁇ -phases, the strength difference of the ⁇ -phases and the ⁇ -phases is reduced to improve the press-formability and suppress the martensite transformation of the ⁇ -phases in the cooling process after annealing. These may be suitably added to obtain the above effects.
  • the contents are preferably respectively 0.05% or more. However, if over 0.5%, the economy is liable to be impaired. For this reason, when added, the contents are respectively made 0.5% or less. From the viewpoints of the above effects and economy, the preferable ranges when added are respectively 0.1 to 0.3%.
  • Sn, Sb, and W may be suitably added for improving the corrosion resistance.
  • the hot workability and other aspects of the manufacturability are sometimes impaired.
  • the contents are respectively made 1% or less.
  • the preferable ranges when added are respectively 0.1 to 0.6%.
  • Al is a powerful deoxidizing agent and may be suitably added. To obtain the above effect, 0.001% or more is preferably added. However, if over 0.1%, nitrides are formed and surface flaws or a drop in corrosion resistance is liable to be incurred. For this reason, when added, the content is made 0.1% or less. From the viewpoints of the above effects and manufacturability, the preferable range when added is 0.005 to 0.05%.
  • B, Ca, and Mg may be suitably added for improving the hot workability.
  • preferably 0.0002% or more are respectively added.
  • the corrosion resistance sometimes remarkably falls.
  • the contents are respectively made 0.01% or less.
  • the preferable ranges when added are 0.0005 to 0.01%.
  • La, Ce, Zr, Y, and other rare earth metals (REM) also have actions of improving the hot workability in the same way as B, Ca, and Mg. Therefore, they may be suitably added. To obtain these effects, 0.001% or more are preferably respectively added. However, if over 0.3%, sometimes the economy is impaired. For this reason, when added, the contents are made 0.3% or less. From the viewpoints of the above effects and economy, the preferable ranges when added are 0.002 to 0.1%.
  • P, S, and O may also be included as unavoidable impurities.
  • P, S, and O are elements harmful to the hot workability and corrosion resistance.
  • P is preferably made 0.1% or less, more preferably 0.05% or less.
  • S is preferably made 0.01% or less, more preferably 0.005% or less, still more preferably less than 0.002%.

  • a parameter relating to the production of the ⁇ -phases and ⁇ -phases defined by the Ni-bal of the following formula ⁇ 1> from the amounts of C, N, Ni, Mn, Cu, Cr, and Si is prescribed in range to obtain the press-formability targeted by the present invention.
  • the Erichsen value made the parameter of the press-formability reaches the target value of the Erichsen value of 11 mm of the present invention in the range of an Ni-bal of -7.5 to -3.5.
  • the contents of the elements are adjusted so as to give an Ni-bal of -7.5 to -3.5 in range.
  • Ni ⁇ bal . 30 C + N + Ni + 0.5 ⁇ Mn + 0.3 ⁇ Cu ⁇ 1.1 Cr + 1.5 Si + 8.2
  • the duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention has the ingredients and Ni-bal explained in section (A) and defines the ⁇ -phase rate for improving the press-formability.
  • the ⁇ -phase rate has a general correlation with the Ni-bal. That is, the ⁇ -phase rate tends to increase along with the rise of the Ni-bal.
  • the ⁇ -production ability in the final annealing temperature region explained later does not necessarily correspond straight with the coefficients of the elements in the Ni-bal. For this reason, to obtain a press-formability targeted by the present invention, it is necessary to define both the Ni-bal and the ⁇ -phase rate.
  • the ⁇ -phase rate can be found by the EBSP method.
  • the EBSP method for example, as described in Microscope; Seiichi Suzuki, vol. 39, no. 2, 121 to 124 , designates crystal data of the ⁇ -phases (fcc) and ⁇ -phases (bcc) and displays a phase distribution map color coding the individual phases. Due to this, it becomes possible to find the ⁇ -phase rate. Further, it is possible to obtain a grasp of the state of dispersion of the ⁇ -phases and the ⁇ -phases. For example, the samples are examined from the cross-sections in the sheet thickness directions under a measurement ratio of 500.
  • the lower limit of the ⁇ -phase rate is made 50% for securing the press-formability targeted by the present invention.
  • the rate is preferably 60% or more.
  • the ⁇ -phase rate exceeds 95%, large amounts of Ni, Mn, and Cu have to be added. This is a problem from the viewpoints of conserving Ni and economy. Furthermore, differentiation from ⁇ -based stainless steel is also not easy. For this reason, the upper limit is made 95%. From the viewpoint of conserving Ni and economy, the preferable range is 60 to 80%.
  • NPLT 2 reports the metal microstructure of duplex stainless steel characterized by a high Si and low Ni in relation to development of PLTs 1 to 3. These steels aim at a rise of the 0.2% proof stress to secure strength for automotive use as explained in the Background Art. In general, the 0.2% proof stress of the ⁇ -phases is smaller than that of the ⁇ -phases. For this reason, to raise the 0.2% proof stress, it is preferable to provide a duplex microstructure wherein the ⁇ -phases are the main phases.
  • the metal microstructure shown in NPLT 2 is a duplex stainless steel with an amount of Cr over 17% where the ⁇ -phases constitute the main phases (53.3 to 75.0% ⁇ ).
