Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a hot press-formed product required to have high strength, such as used for structural members of automobile parts, a process for producing the same, and a thin steel sheet for hot press forming.
  • the present invention relates to a hot press-formed product that can be provided with a prescribed shape and at the same time heat treated to have prescribed strength when a preheated steel sheet (blank) is formed into the prescribed shape, a process for producing such a hot press-formed product, and a thin steel sheet for hot press forming.
  • a hot press-forming method for production of parts, in which method a steel sheet is heated to a prescribed temperature (e.g., a temperature for change in austenite phase) to lower its strength (i.e., make it easily formable) and then formed with a press tool at a temperature (e.g., room temperature) lower than that of the thin steel sheet, whereby the steel sheet is provided with a shape and at the same time heat treated by rapid cooling (quenching), which makes use of a temperature difference between both, to secure its strength after forming.
  • a prescribed temperature e.g., a temperature for change in austenite phase
  • a press tool at a temperature (e.g., room temperature) lower than that of the thin steel sheet
  • a steel sheet is formed in a state of low strength, and therefore, the steel sheet has decreased springback (favorable shape fixability).
  • Such a hot press-forming method has been called with various names, in addition to a hot press method, such as a hot forming method, a hot stamping method, a hot stamp method, and a die quench method.
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic explanatory view showing the structure of a press tool for carrying out hot press forming as described above (hereinafter represented sometimes by "hot stamp").
  • reference numerals 1,2,3, and 4 represent a punch, a die, a blank holder, and a steel sheet (blank), respectively
  • abbreviations BHF, rp, rd, and CL represent a blank holding force, a punch shoulder radius, a die shoulder radius, and a clearance between the punch and the die, respectively.
  • punch 1 and die 2 have passage 1a and passage 2a, respectively, formed in the inside thereof, through which passages a cooling medium (e.g., water) can be allowed to pass, and the press tool is made to have a structure so that these members can be cooled by allowing the cooling medium to pass through these passages.
  • a cooling medium e.g., water
  • the forming is started in a state where steel sheet (blank) 4 is softened by heating to a temperature within single-phase region, which is not lower than Ac 3 transformation point. More specifically, steel sheet 4 is pushed into a cavity of die 2 (between the parts indicated by reference numerals 2 and 2 in Fig. 1 ) by punch 1 with steel sheet 4 in high-temperature state being sandwiched between die 2 and blank holder 3, thereby forming steel sheet 4 into a shape corresponding to the outer shape of punch 1 while reducing the outer diameter of steel sheet 4.
  • hot stamp e.g., hot deep drawing
  • steel sheets for hot stamp which have widely been used at present, there are known steel sheets based on 22MnB5 steel. These steel sheets have tensile strengths of 1500 MPa and elongations of about 6% to 8%, and have been applied to impact-resistant members (members neither deformed nor fractured as much as possible at the time of impact). In addition, some developments have also proceeded for C content increase and further highly strengthening (in 1500 to 1800 MPa class) based on 22MnB5 steel.
  • both functions as an impact-resistant portion and an energy-absorbing portion may sometimes be provided in parts such as B pillars or rear side members.
  • To produce such members there has mainly been used so far, for example, a method in which ultra-high tensile strength steel sheets having high strength of 980 MPa class and high tensile strength steel sheets having elongation of 440 MPa class are laser welded (to prepare a tailor welded blank, abbreviated as TWB) and then cold press formed.
  • TWB tailor welded blank
  • Non-patent Document 1 has proposed a method of laser welding 22MnB5 steel for hot stamp and a material that does not have high strength even if quenched with a press tool (to prepare a tailor welded blank, abbreviated as TWB), followed by hot stamp, in which method different strengths are provided so that tensile strength at a high strength side (i.e., impact-resistant portion side) becomes 1500 MPa (and elongation becomes 6% to 8%) and tensile strength at a low strength side (i.e., energy-absorbing portion side) becomes 440 MPa (and elongation becomes 12%).
  • some techniques have also been proposed, such as disclosed in Non-patent Documents 2 to 4.
  • Non-patent Documents 1 and 2 provide a tensile strength of not higher than 600 MPa and an elongation of about 12% to 18% at an energy-absorbing portion side, in which techniques, however, laser welding (to prepare a tailor welded blank, abbreviated as TWB) is needed previously, thereby increasing the number of steps and resulting in high cost. In addition, it results in the heating of energy-absorbing portions, which need not to be hardened originally. Therefore, these techniques are not preferred from the viewpoint of energy consumption.
  • Non-patent Document 3 is based on 22MnB5 steel, in which boron addition, however, adversely affects the robustness of strength after quenching against heating to a temperature within two-phase region, making difficult the control of strength at an energy-absorbing portion side, and further making it possible to obtain only an elongation as low as 15%.
  • Non-patent Document 4 The technique disclosed in Non-patent Document 4 is based on 22MnB5 steel, and therefore, this technique is not economic in that control is made in such a manner that 22MnB5, which originally has excellent hardenability, is not hardened (control of press tool cooling).
  • JP 2010 150 612 discloses a high strenght hot stamped steel of high toughness.
  • the present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and its object is to provide a hot press-formed product in which balance between strength and elongation can be controlled in a proper range and high ductility can be achieved, a process useful for producing such a hot press-formed product, and a thin steel sheet for hot press forming.
  • the hot press-formed product of the present invention which can achieve the above object, is a hot press-formed product, comprising a thin steel sheet formed by a hot press-forming method, and having a metallic structure that contains martensite at 80% to 97% by area and retained austenite at 3% to 20% by area, the remainder structure of which is at 5% by area or lower.
  • the chemical element composition thereof is limited to consist of the following chemical element composition: C at 0.15% to 0.35% (where "%” means “% by mass", and the same applies to the below with respect to the chemical element composition); Si at 0.5% to 3%; Mn at 0.5% to 2%; P at 0.05% or lower (not including 0%); S at 0.05% or lower (not including 0%); Al at 0.01% to 0.1%; Cr at 0.01% to 1%; B at 0.0002% to 0.01%; Ti at (N content) x 4% to 0.1%; and N at 0.001% to 0.01%, and the remainder consisting of iron and unavoidable impurities.
  • the hot press-formed product of the present invention it is also useful to allow additional elements to be contained, when needed; for example, (a) one or more selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ni, and Mo at 1% or lower (not including 0%) in total; and (b) V and/or Nb at 0.1 % or lower (not including 0%) in total.
  • the hot press-formed product may have further improved characteristics.
  • the following steps may be used, i.e., heating a thin steel sheet to a temperature not lower than Ac 3 transformation point and not higher than 1000°C; and then starting the forming of the thin steel sheet with a press tool to produce the hot press-formed product, during which forming an average cooling rate of 20°C/sec or higher is kept in the press tool, and which forming is finished at a temperature not higher than (martensite transformation starting temperature Ms point - 50°C).
  • the present invention further includes a thin steel sheet for hot press forming, which is intended for producing a hot press-formed product as described above, and this thin steel sheet is characterized by having a chemical element composition as described above.
  • the present invention makes it possible that: retained austenite can be allowed to exist at a proper fraction to adjust the metallic structure of a hot press-formed product by properly controlling the conditions of a hot press-forming method; a hot press-formed product having more enhanced ductility (retained ductility) inherent to the formed product as compared with the case where conventional 22MnB5 steel is used; and strength and elongation can be controlled by a combination of heat treatment conditions and pre-forming steel sheet structure (initial structure).
  • Fig. 1 is a schematic explanatory view showing the structure of a press tool for carrying out hot press forming.
  • the present inventors have studied from various angles to realize a hot press-formed product having high strength and further exhibiting excellent ductility (elongation) after forming when a thin steel sheet is heated to a prescribed temperature and then hot press formed to produce the formed product.
  • a hot press-formed product having excellent balance between strength and ductility can be achieved when heating temperature and forming conditions are properly controlled so that its structure is adjusted to contain retained austenite at 3% to 20% by area in the press forming of a thin steel sheet with a press tool to produce the hot press-formed product, thereby completing the present invention.
  • Strength of a hot press-formed product can be secured by making its structure composed mainly of high-strength martensite.
  • the area fraction of martensite should be controlled to 80% by area or higher. However, when this fraction is higher than 97% by area, the faction of retained austenite becomes insufficient, resulting in the lowering of ductility (retained ductility).
  • the fraction of martensite may preferably be not lower than 83% by area as the preferred lower limit (more preferably not lower than 85% by area) and not higher than 95% by area as the preferred upper limit (more preferably not higher than 93% by area).
  • Retained austenite is transformed into martensite during plastic deformation, thereby having the effect of increasing work hardening rate (transformation-inducing plasticity) to improve the ductility of a formed product.
  • the fraction of retained austenite should be controlled to 3% by area or higher. When the fraction of retained austenite is higher, ductility becomes more excellent. In a composition to be used for automobile steel sheets, retained austenite that can be secured is limited, of which upper limit becomes about 20% by area.
  • the fraction of retained austenite may preferably be not lower than 5% by area as the preferred lower limit (more preferably not lower than 7% by area) and not higher than 17% by area as the preferred upper limit (more preferably not higher than 15% by area or not higher than 10% by area).
  • the metallic structure of a hot press-formed product may contain ferrite, pearlite, and/or bainite as the remainder structure, but may preferably contain the remainder structure as low as possible, because these structures are softer than martensite and have lower contributions to strength as compared with the other structures.
  • the fraction of the remainder structure up to 5% by area may be acceptable.
  • the fraction of the remainder structure may more preferably be not higher than 3% by area, still more preferably 0% by area.
  • a thin steel sheet may be used (which has the same chemical element composition as that of the hot press-formed product), and when the thin steel sheet is press formed with a press tool, the thin steel sheet may be heated to a temperature not lower than Ac 3 transformation point and not higher than 1000°C, and then the forming of the thin steel sheet may be started, during which forming an average cooling rate of 20°C/sec or higher may be kept in the press tool, and which forming may be finished at a temperature not higher than (martensite transformation starting temperature Ms point - 50°C).
  • the reasons for defining the respective requirements in this process are as follows:
  • the heating temperature should be controlled in a prescribed range.
  • the proper control of the heating temperature makes it possible to cause transformation into a structure composed mainly of martensite while securing a prescribed fraction of retained austenite in the subsequent cooling step to provide the final hot press-formed product with a desired structure.
  • the heating temperature of the thin steel sheet is lower than Ac 3 transformation point, a sufficient fraction of austenite cannot be obtained during heating, and therefore, a prescribed fraction of retained austenite cannot be secured in the final structure (the structure of a formed product).
  • the average cooling rate during forming and the forming finishing temperature should properly be controlled.
  • the average cooling rate during forming should be controlled to 20°C/sec or higher, and the forming finishing temperature should be controlled to a temperature not higher than (martensite transformation starting temperature Ms point - 50°C, sometimes abbreviated as "Ms point - 50°C").
  • Ms point - 50°C martensite transformation starting temperature
  • the average cooling rate during forming may preferably be 30°C/sec or higher (more preferably 40°C/sec or higher).
  • the forming may be finished while cooling to room temperature at an average cooling rate as described above.
  • cooling may be carried out to (Ms point - 50°C) or lower (preferably to a temperature of Ms point - 50°C), and then cooling may further be carried out to 200°C or lower at an average cooling rate of lower than 20°C/sec (two-step cooling).
  • the addition of such cooling steps makes it possible that carbon in martensite is concentrated in untransformed austenite, thereby increasing the fraction of retained austenite.
  • the average cooling rate during cooling as the second step when such two-step cooling is carried out may preferably be 10°C/sec or lower (more preferably 5°C/sec or lower).
  • the control of the average cooling temperature during forming can be achieved by a means of, for example, (a) controlling the temperature of a press tool (using a cooling medium shown in Fig. 1 above) or (b) controlling the thermal conductivity of a press tool.
  • the hot press-forming method of the present invention can be applied, not only to the case where a hot press-formed product having a simple shape as shown in Fig. 1 above is produced (i.e., direct method), but also to the case where a formed product having a relatively complicated shape is produced.
  • direct method a method of cold press forming in a step prior to hot press forming
  • This method includes previously forming a difficult-to-form portion into an approximate shape by cold processing and then hot press forming the other portions.
  • the present invention is intended for a hot press-formed product made of a high-strength steel sheet, the steel grade of which is acceptable, if it has an ordinary chemical element composition as a high-strength steel sheet, in which, however, C, Si, Mn, P, S, Al, Cr, B, Ti, and N contents are controlled in their respective proper ranges. From this viewpoint, the ranges of these chemical elements and the grounds for limiting their ranges are as follows:
  • C is an important element for controlling the strength of martensite structure.
  • C content When C content is decreased, the strength becomes insufficient even if the structure is full of martensite.
  • C content When C content is less than 0.15%, the strength of martensite becomes insufficient, and therefore, high strength of a hot press-formed product cannot be secured.
  • C content When C content becomes higher than 0.35%, it results in that strength becomes too high, thereby making it impossible to obtain excellent ductility.
  • C content may more preferably be not lower than 0.18% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.20%) and not higher than 0.30% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.27%, and further still more preferably not higher than 0.25%).
  • Si exhibits the action of forming retained austenite during quenching. It further exhibits the action of enhancing strength by solid solution enhancement without deteriorating ductility too much.
  • Si content is less than 0.5%, retained austenite cannot be secured at a prescribed fraction, making it impossible to obtain excellent ductility.
  • Si content becomes more than 3%, the degree of solid solution enhancement becomes too high, resulting in the drastic deterioration of ductility.
  • Si content may more preferably be not lower than 1.15% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 1.20%) and not higher than 2.7% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 2.5%).
  • Mn is an element to stabilize austenite, and it contributes to an increase of retained austenite. It enhances hardenability, and therefore, it is an element to prevent the formation of ferrite, pearlite, and bainite, during cooling after heating, thereby contributing to the securement of retained austenite.
  • Mn may preferably be contained at 0.5% or higher. Mn content may be preferred when it is higher, in the case where only characteristics are taken into consideration, but Mn content may preferably be controlled to 2% or lower, because of a cost increase by alloy element addition.
  • Mn is contained at higher than 2%.
  • Mn content may more preferably be not lower than 0.7% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.9%) and not higher than 1.8% as the more preferred higher limit (still more preferably not higher than 1.6%).
  • P is an element unavoidably contained in steel and deteriorates ductility. Therefore, P content may preferably be reduced as low as possible. However, extreme reduction causes an increase of steel production cost, and reduction to 0% is difficult in the actual production. Therefore, P content may more preferably be controlled to 0.05% or lower (not including 0%). P content may more preferably be not higher than 0.045% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.040%).
  • S is also an element unavoidably contained in steel and deteriorates ductility, similarly to P. Therefore, S content may preferably be reduced as low as possible. However, extreme reduction causes an increase of steel production cost, and reduction to 0% is difficult in the actual production. Therefore, S content may preferably be controlled to 0.05% or lower (not including 0%). S content may more preferably be not higher than 0.045% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.040%).
  • Al is useful as a deoxidizing element and further useful for fixation of dissolved N in steel as AlN to improve ductility.
  • Al content may preferably be controlled to 0.01 % or higher. However, when Al content becomes higher than 0.1%, it results in the excessive formation of Al 2 O 3 to deteriorate ductility.
  • Al content may more preferably be not lower than 0.013% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.015%) and not higher than 0.08% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.06%).
  • Cr has the action of suppressing ferrite transformation, pearlite transformation, and bainite transformation, and therefore, it is an element to prevent the formation of ferrite, pearlite, and bainite, during cooling after heating, thereby contributing to the securement of retained austenite.
  • Cr may preferably be contained at 0.01% or higher. Even if Cr is contained at higher than 1%, it results in a cost increase.
  • Cr content may more preferably be not lower than 0.02% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.05%) and not higher than 0.8% as the more preferred higher limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.5%).
  • B has the action of enhancing hardenability and suppressing ferrite transformation, pearlite transformation, and bainite transformation, and therefore, it is an element to prevent the formation of ferrite, pearlite, and bainite, during cooling after heating, thereby contributing to the securement of retained austenite.
  • B may preferably be contained at 0.0002% or higher, but even if B is contained beyond 0.01%, the effect is saturated.
  • B content may more preferably be not lower than 0.0003% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.0005%) and not higher than 0.008% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.005%).
  • Ti fixes N and maintains B in solid solution state, thereby exhibiting the effect of improving hardenability.
  • Ti may preferably be contained at least 4 times higher than N content.
  • Ti content may more preferably be not lower than 0.05% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.06%) and not higher than 0.09% as the more preferred higher limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.08%).
  • N is an element to fix B as BN, thereby lowering the effect of hardenability improvement, and a reduction of N content as low as possible may be preferred, which has, however, a limitation in actual process. Therefore, the lower limit of N content was set to 0.001%. When N content becomes excessive, it results in the formation of coarse TiN, which becomes the origin of fracture, thereby deteriorating ductility. Therefore, the upper limit of N content was set to 0.01%. N content may more preferably be not higher than 0.008% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.006%).
  • the basic chemical components in the press-formed product of the present invention are as described above, and the remainder consists of iron.
  • the wording "consists essentially of iron” means that the press-formed product of the present invention can contain, in addition to iron, minor components (e.g., besides Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba, REM such as La, and carbide-forming elements such as Zr, Hf, Ta, W, and Mo) in such a level that these minor components do not inhibit the characteristics of the steel sheet of the present invention, and can further contain unavoidable impurities (e.g., O, H) other than P and S.
  • minor components e.g., besides Mg, Ca, Sr, and Ba, REM such as La
  • carbide-forming elements such as Zr, Hf, Ta, W, and Mo
  • the press-formed product of the present invention may contain additional elements, when needed; for example, (a) one or more selected from the group consisting of Cu, Ni, and Mo at 1% or lower (not including 0%) in total; and (b) V and/or Nb at 0.1 % or lower (not including 0%) in total.
  • the hot press-formed product may have further improved characteristics depending on the kinds of elements contained. When these elements are contained, their preferred ranges and grounds for limitation of their ranges are as follows:
  • these elements may preferably be contained at 0.01 % or higher in total. Taking only characteristics into consideration, their content may be preferable when it is higher, but may preferably be controlled to 1% or lower in total because of a cost increase by alloy element addition. In addition, these elements have the action of considerably enhancing the strength of austenite, thereby increasing a hot rolling load so that the production of steel sheets becomes difficult. Therefore, even from the viewpoint of productivity, their content may preferably be controlled to 1% or lower. These elements' content may more preferably be not lower than 0.05% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.06%) in total and not higher than 0.9% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.8%) in total.
  • V and Nb have the effect of forming fine carbide and make structure fine by pinning effect.
  • these elements may preferably be contained at 0.001% or higher in total.
  • these elements' content may preferably be controlled to 0.1% or lower in total.
  • These elements' content may more preferably be not lower than 0.005% as the more preferred lower limit (still more preferably not lower than 0.008%) in total and not higher than 0.08% as the more preferred upper limit (still more preferably not higher than 0.06%) in total.
  • the thin steel sheet for hot press forming of the present invention may be either a non-plated steel sheet or a plated steel sheet.
  • the type of plating may be either ordinary galvanization or aluminium coating.
  • the method of plating may be either hot-dip plating or electroplating. After the plating, alloying heat treatment may be carried out, or additional plating may be carried out as multilayer plating.
  • the characteristics of formed products can be controlled by properly adjusting press forming conditions (heating temperature and cooling rate), and in addition, hot press-formed products having high ductility (retained ductility) can be obtained, so that they can be applied even to parts (e.g., energy-absorbing members), to which conventional hot press-formed products have hardly been applied; therefore, the present invention is extremely useful for extending the application range of hot press-formed products.
  • the formed products, which can be obtained in the present invention have further enhanced residual ductility as compared with formed products, of which structure was adjusted by ordinary annealing after cold press forming.
  • the steel sheets thus obtained were heated under the respective conditions shown in Table 2 below, and then subjected to cooling treatment using a high speed heat treatment testing system for steel sheets (CAS series, available from ULVAC-RIKO, Inc.), which can control an average cooling rate.
  • the steel sheets to be subjected to forming and cooling treatment had a size of 190 mm x 70 mm (and a sheet thickness of 1.4 mm).
  • Cooling rates 1 and 2 shown in Table 2 indicate an average cooling rate from heating temperature to (Ms point - 50°C) or lower (forming finishing temperature), and an average cooling rate from the forming finishing temperature to 200°C or lower, respectively.
  • the steel sheet is subjected to hot-dip galvanization to obtain a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (Test No. 21).
  • JIS No. 5 specimens were used for tensile tests to measure tensile strength (TS) and elongation (EL). At that time, strain rate in the tensile tests was set to 10 mm/sec. In the present invention, the specimens were evaluated as "passing" when fulfilling the condition (a): tensile strength (TS) is 1470 MPa and elongation (EL) is 9% or higher.
  • Test Nos. 1, 2, 6, 11, 12, and 14 to 21 are Examples fulfilling the requirements defined in the present invention, thereby indicating that parts having satisfactory balance between strength and ductility were obtained.
  • Test No. 6 indicates that parts having extremely high strength and further exhibiting excellent ductility were obtained.
  • Test Nos. 3 to 5, 7 to 10, and 13 are Comparative Examples not fulfilling any of the requirements defined in the present invention, thereby deteriorating any of the characteristics. More specifically, Test No. 3 was the case where cooling rate after heating was low, so that the fraction of martensite was not secured (ferrite and bainitic ferrite were formed), thereby failing to secure strength. Test No. 4 was the case where heating temperature was lower than Ac 3 transformation point, so that the fraction of martensite was not secured, thereby failing to secure strength.
  • Test No. 5 was the case in which forming was finished at Ms point or higher, so that the fraction of martensite was not secured (bainitic ferrite was formed), thereby failing to secure strength.
  • Test Nos. 7 and 8 were intended for conventional 22MnB5 equivalent steel (steel grade C shown in Table 1), so that retained austenite was not secured, thereby obtaining only low elongation (EL), although high strength was obtained.
  • Test No. 9 was the case where steel free of Ti and B (steel grade shown in Table 1) was used, so that the fraction of martensite was not secured, thereby failing to secure strength.
  • Test No. 10 was the case where steel short of C content (steel grade E shown in Table 1) was used, so that retained austenite was not secured, thereby obtaining low elongation (EL).
  • Test No. 13 was the case where steel free of Cr (steel grade H shown in Table 1) was used, so that the fraction of martensite and strength was not secured, thereby failing to secure strength.
  • the present invention makes it possible to provide a hot press-formed product, including a thin steel sheet formed by a hot press-forming method, and having a metallic structure that contains martensite at 80% to 97% by area and retained austenite at 3% to 20% by area, the remainder structure of which is at 5% by area or lower, whereby balance between strength and elongation can be controlled in a proper range and high ductility can be achieved.
