Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing steel sheets with a martensitic structure with a mechanical strength greater than that which could be obtained by a simple quenching treatment with martensitic quenching, and mechanical strength and elongation properties allowing their application to the manufacture of energy absorbing parts in motor vehicles.
- (C) denotes the carbon content of the steel, expressed as a percentage by weight.
- a method of manufacture is thus sought which makes it possible to obtain an ultimate tensile strength of 50 MPa at expression (1), ie a strength greater than 3220 ( C) + 958 MPa for this steel. It seeks to have a method for the manufacture of sheet with a very high yield strength, that is greater than 300 MPa. It is also sought to have a method for the manufacture of directly usable sheets, that is to say without the imperative need of a tempering treatment after quenching.
- the present invention aims to solve the problems mentioned above. It aims in particular to provide sheets with a yield strength greater than 1300 MPa, a tensile strength, expressed in megapascals, greater than (3220 (C) +958) MPa, and preferably a greater total elongation. at 3%.
- the subject of the invention is a method for manufacturing a martensitic steel sheet with a yield strength greater than 1300 MPa, comprising the successive steps and in this order in which:
- a semi-finished steel product whose composition comprises, the contents being expressed by weight: 0.15% ⁇ C ⁇ 0.40%, 1, 5% ⁇ Mn ⁇ 3%, 0.005% ⁇ Si ⁇ 2 %, 0.005% ⁇ Al ⁇ 0.1%, S ⁇ 0.05%, P ⁇ 0.1%, 0.025% ⁇ Nb ⁇ 0.1% and optionally: 0.01% ⁇ Ti ⁇ 0.1%, 0% ⁇ Cr ⁇ 4%, 0% ⁇ Mo ⁇ 2%, 0.0005% ⁇ B ⁇ 0.005%, 0.0005% ⁇ Ca ⁇ 0.005%, the remainder of the composition consisting of iron and unavoidable impurities resulting from the elaboration.
- the semi-finished product is heated to a temperature between 1050 ° C. and 1250 ° C.
- the sheet is not completely cooled to a temperature T3 of between 970 ° C and Ar3 + 30 ° C, so as to avoid transformation of the austenite, at a speed V R i greater than 2 ° C / s, then
- a finishing hot rolling is carried out at the temperature T 3 of the non-completely cooled sheet, with a cumulative reduction ratio b greater than 50% so as to obtain a sheet, and then
- the sheet is cooled at a speed V R2 greater than the critical speed of martensitic quenching.
- the average size of austenitic grains is less than 5 micrometers.
- the sheet is subjected to a subsequent thermal treatment of tempering at a temperature T 4 of between 150 and 600 ° C. for a period of between 5 and 30 minutes.
- the subject of the invention is also a nonreturned steel sheet with a yield strength greater than 1300 MPa, obtained by a method according to one of the above-described methods of manufacture, with a totally martensitic structure, having an average size of slats less than 1, 2 micrometer, the average elongation factor of slats being between 2 and 5.
- the subject of the invention is also a steel sheet obtained by the process with the above treatment of income, the steel having a totally martensitic structure with an average slat size of less than 1.2 micrometres, the elongation factor average slats being between 2 and 5.
- the carbon content of the steel is less than 0.15% by weight, the quenchability of the steel is insufficient and it is not possible to obtain a totally martensitic structure given the process used.
- this content is greater than 0.40%, welded joints made from these sheets or these parts have insufficient toughness.
- the optimal carbon content for the implementation of the invention is between 0.16 and 0.28%.
- Manganese lowers the initial formation temperature of martensite and slows the decomposition of austenite. In order to obtain sufficient effects, the manganese content must not be less than 1.5%. Moreover, when the manganese content exceeds 3%, segregated zones are present in excessive amounts which is detrimental to the implementation of the invention. A preferred range for the implementation of the invention is 1.8 to 2.5% Mn.
- the silicon content must be greater than 0.005% so as to participate in the deoxidation of the steel in the liquid phase.
- the silicon must not exceed 2% by weight because of the formation of surface oxides which significantly reduce the coating ability, in the case where it would be desirable to coat the sheet by passing through a metal coating bath, in particular by continuous galvanizing.
- the aluminum content of the steel according to the invention is not less than 0.005% so as to obtain sufficient deoxidation of the steel in the liquid state.
- the aluminum content is greater than 0.1% by weight, casting problems may occur. It is also possible to form inclusions of alumina in too large quantities or sizes which play a detrimental role on toughness.
- the sulfur and phosphorus contents of the steel are respectively limited to 0.05 and 0.1% in order to avoid a reduction in the ductility or toughness of the parts or sheets produced according to the invention.
- the steel also contains niobium in an amount between 0.025 and 0.1%, and optionally titanium in an amount between 0.01 and 0.1%.
- Chromium and molybdenum are very effective elements for delaying the transformation of austenite and can be used optionally for the implementation of the invention. These elements have the effect of separating the ferrito-pearlitic and bainitic transformation domains, the transformation Ferritic-pearlitic occurring at temperatures above the bainitic transformation. These transformation domains are then in the form of two distinct "noses" in an isothermal transformation diagram (Transformation-Temperature-Time)
- the chromium content must be less than or equal to 4%. Beyond this content, its effect on the quenchability is practically saturated; an additional addition is then expensive without corresponding beneficial effect.
- the molybdenum content must not exceed 2% because of its excessive cost.
- the steel can also contain boron: indeed, the significant deformation of the austenite can accelerate the conversion to ferrite on cooling, a phenomenon that should be avoided. Addition of boron in an amount of between 0.0005 and 0.005% by weight makes it possible to guard against early ferritic transformation.
- the steel may also contain calcium in an amount between 0.0005 and 0.005%: by combining with oxygen and sulfur, calcium prevents the formation of large inclusions that are harmful to the ductility of the sheets or parts thus manufactured.
- the rest of the composition of the steel consists of iron and unavoidable impurities resulting from the elaboration.
- the steel sheets manufactured according to the invention are characterized by a totally martensitic slatted structure of great fineness: due to the specific thermomechanical cycle and composition, the average size of the martensitic slats is less than 1.2 micrometres and their average elongation factor is between 2 and 5.
- These microstructural characteristics are determined, for example, by observing the microstructure by Scanning Electron Microscopy by means of a field effect gun ("MEB-FEG" technique) at a magnification. greater than 1200x, coupled to an EBSD detector ("Electron Backscatter Diffraction"). It is defined that two contiguous slats are distinct when their disorientation is greater than 5 degrees.
- the average slat size is defined by the known intercepts method: the average size of slats intercepted by defined lines is evaluated. random with respect to the microstructure. The measurement is performed on at least 1000 martensitic slats in order to obtain a representative average value. The morphology of the individualized slats is then determined by image analysis using software known per se: the maximum dimension l ma x and minimum n of each
- the process for manufacturing hot-rolled sheets according to the invention comprises the following steps:
- a semi-finished steel product the composition of which has been described above, is supplied.
- This semi-finished product may for example be in the form of slab from continuous casting, thin slab or ingot.
- a continuous casting slab has a thickness of about 200 mm, a thin slab a thickness of about 50-80 mm.
- This semi-finished product is heated to a temperature of between 1050 ° C. and 1250 ° C.
- the temperature Ti is greater than A C 3, total conversion temperature to austenite heating. This reheating thus makes it possible to obtain a complete austenitization of the steel as well as the dissolution of any possible niobium carbonitrides in the semi-finished product.
- This reheating step also makes it possible to carry out the various subsequent hot rolling operations which will be presented: a so-called roughing operation of the semi-finished product is carried out: this roughing rolling is carried out at a temperature T 2 of between 1050 and 1150 ° C.
- T 2 The cumulative reduction rate of the various stages of rolling at roughing is noted ⁇ 3 . If e, a is the thickness of the semi-finished product prior to hot rough rolling and ef is the thickness of the sheet after it g
- the reduction rate e a must be greater than 100%, that is to say greater than 1.
- the average austenitic grain size thus obtained is less than 40 micrometers, or even 5 micrometers when the niobium content is between 0.030 and 0.050%. This grain size can be measured, for example, by means of tests in which the sheet is quenched directly after rolling. A polished and etched section thereof is then observed, the attack being carried out using a reagent known in itself, such as, for example, the Béchet-Beaujard reagent which reveals the old austenitic grain boundaries.
- This sheet is then cooled to a speed VR2 greater than the critical martensitic quenching speed, and a sheet is thus obtained characterized by a very fine martensitic structure whose mechanical properties are greater than those which can be obtained by a simple treatment. thermal quenching.
- the invention is not limited to this geometry and to this type of product, and can also be adapted the manufacture of long products, bars, profiles, by successive stages of hot deformation.
- the steel sheets may be used as such or subjected to a heat treatment of tempered temperature T 4 between 150 and 600 ° C for a period of between 5 and 30 minutes.
- This treatment of income generally has the effect of increasing the ductility at the price of a decrease of the limit of elasticity and the resistance.
- the method according to the invention which gives a tensile strength of at least 50 MPa higher than that obtained after conventional quenching, retained this advantage even after a tempering treatment with temperatures ranging from from 150 to 600 ° C.
- the fineness characteristics of the microstructure are preserved by this income treatment.
- the underlined values are not in accordance with the invention 31 mm thick semi-finished products were reheated and held for 30 minutes at a Ti temperature of 1250 ° C. and then subjected to rolling in 4 passes at a T 2 temperature of 100 ° C. C with a cumulative reduction rate ⁇ of 164%, ie up to a thickness of 6mm. At this stage, at high temperature after roughing, the structure is totally austenitic, not completely recrystallized with an average grain size of 30 microns. The sheets thus obtained were then cooled at a rate of 3 ° C./s up to a temperature T 3 of between 955 ° C. and 840 ° C., the latter temperature being equal to Ar 3 + 60 ° C.
- the sheets were rolled in this temperature range in 5 passes with a cumulative reduction rate Zb of 76%, ie up to a thickness of 2.8 mm, then cooled. then to room temperature with a speed of 80 ° C / sec so as to obtain a completely martensitic microstructure.
- steel sheets of the above composition were heated at a temperature of 1250 ° C., held for 30 minutes at this temperature and then cooled with water so as to obtain a completely martensitic microstructure (reference condition).
- the yield strength Re By means of tensile tests, the yield strength Re, the breaking strength Rm and the total elongation A have been determined for sheets obtained by these different methods of manufacture.
- Steel B does not contain enough niobium: it does not reach a yield strength of 1300 MPa, both after simple martensitic quenching (test B2) and in the case of rolling with roughing and finishing at temperature.
- T3 (test B1)
- the microstructure of the plates obtained by Scanning Electron Microscopy was also observed by means of a field effect gun ("MEB-FEG” technique) and EBSD detector, and quantified the average size. laths of the martensitic structure and their lengthening factor
- the method according to the invention makes it possible to obtain a martensitic structure with an average slat size of 0.9 micrometres and an elongation factor of 3. This structure is considerably thinner than that observed after simple martensitic quenching, whose average slat size is of the order of 2 micrometers.
- the ARM values are respectively 63 and 172 MPa respectively.
- the process according to the invention therefore makes it possible to obtain mechanical strength values significantly greater than those which would be obtained by simple martensitic quenching.
- this increase in resistance (172 MPa) is equivalent to that which would be obtained, according to relation (1), thanks to a simple martensitic quenching applied to steels in which an addition additional 0.05% would have been achieved.
- Such an increase in the carbon content would however have adverse consequences with respect to the weldability and toughness, whereas the method according to the invention makes it possible to increase the mechanical strength without these disadvantages.
- the plates produced according to the invention because of their lower carbon content, have good weldability by the usual processes, in particular spot resistance welding. They also have good ability to be coated, for example by galvanizing or continuous dipping aluminization.
- the invention allows the manufacture of sheets or bare or coated with very high mechanical characteristics, under very satisfactory economic conditions.
