Definitions

  • the present invention relates to high strength cold rolled steel sheet suitable for applications in automobiles, construction materials and the like, specifically a high strength steel sheet excellent in formability.
  • the invention relates to a cold rolled steel sheet having a tensile strength of at least 780 MPa.
  • Such a cold rolled high-strength steel sheet is known e.g. from JP 2004 332099 A .
  • TRIP steels possess a multi-phase microstructure, which includes a meta-stable retained austenite phase, which is capable of producing the TRIP effect.
  • the austenite transforms into martensite, which results in remarkable work hardening. This hardening effect, acts to resist necking in the material and postpone failure in sheet forming operations.
  • the microstructure of a TRIP steel can greatly alter its mechanical properties. The most important aspects of the TRIP steel microstructure are the volume percentage, size and morphology of the retained austenite phase, as these properties directly affect the austenite to martensite transformation when the steel is deformed. There are several ways in which to chemically stabilize austenite at room temperature.
  • the austenite In low alloy TRIP steels the austenite is stabilized through its carbon content and the small size of the austenite grains.
  • the carbon content necessary to stabilize austenite is approximately 1 wt. %.
  • high carbon content in steel cannot be used in many applications because of impaired weldability.
  • a common TRIP steel chemistry also contains small additions of other elements to help in stabilizing the austenite as well as to aid in the creation of microstructures which partition carbon into the austenite.
  • the most common additions are 1.5 wt. % of both Si and Mn.
  • the silicon content should be at least 1 wt. %.
  • the silicon content of the steel is important as silicon is insoluble in cementite. US 2009/0238713 discloses such a TRIP steel.
  • the present invention is directed to a high strength cold rolled steel sheet having a tensile strength of at least 780 MPa and having an excellent formability and a method of producing the same on an industrial scale.
  • the invention relates to a cold rolled TPF steel sheet having properties adapted for the production in a conventional industrial annealing line. Accordingly, the steel shall not only possess good formability properties but at the same time be optimized with respect to A c3 - temperature, M s -temperature, austempering time and temperature and other factors such as sticky scale influencing the surface quality of the hot rolled steel sheet and the processability of the steel sheet in the industrial annealing line.
  • the cold rolled high strength TPF steel sheet has a composition consisting of the following elements (in wt. %): C 0.1 - 0.3 Mn 1.4 - 2.7 Si 0.4 - 1.0 Cr 0.1 - 0.9 Si + Cr ⁇ 0.9 Al ⁇ 0.8 Nb ⁇ 0.1 Mo ⁇ 0.3 Ti ⁇ 0.2 V ⁇ 0.2 Cu ⁇ 0.5 Ni ⁇ 0.5 B ⁇ 0.005 Ca ⁇ 0.005 Mg ⁇ 0.005 REM ⁇ 0.005 balance Fe apart from impurities.
  • C is an element which stabilizes austenite and is important for obtaining sufficient carbon within the retained austenite phase. C is also important for obtaining the desired strength level. Generally, an increase of the tensile strength in the order of 100 MPa per 0.1 %C can be expected. When C is lower than 0.1 % then it is difficult to attain a tensile strength of 780 MPa. If C exceeds 0.3 % then weldability is impaired. For this reasons, preferred ranges are 0.1 - 0.25 %, 0.13 - 0.17 %, 0.15 - 0.19 % or 0.19-0.23 % depending on the desired strength level.
  • Manganese is a solid solution strengthening element, which stabilises the austenite by lowering the M s temperature and prevents pearlite to be formed during cooling.
  • Mn lower the A c3 temperature.
  • the amount of Mn is higher than 2.7 % problems with segregation may occur and the workability may be deteriorated.
  • the upper limit is also determined by the influence of Mn on the microstructure during cooling on the run out table and in the coil since a high Mn contents may result in the formation of a martensite fraction which is unfavourable for cold rolling.
  • Preferred ranges are therefore 1.5 - 2.5, 1.5 - 1.7 %, 1.5 - 2.3, 1.7 - 2.3 %, 1.8 - 2.2 %, 1.9 - 2.3 % and 2.3 - 2.5 %.
  • Si acts as a solid solution strengthening element and is important for securing the strength of the thin steel sheet.
  • Si is insoluble in cementite and will therefore act to greatly delay the formation of carbides during the bainite transformation as time must be given to Si to diffuse from the precipitating cementite.
  • Si improves the mechanical properties of the steel sheet.
  • high Si forms Si oxides on the surface which may result in pickles on the rolls resulting in surface defects.
  • galvanizing is very difficult for high Si contents, i.e. the risk for surface defects increases. Therefore, Si is limited to 1.0 %. Preferred ranges are therefore 0.4 - 0.9 %, 0.4 - 0.8 %, 0.5 - 0.9 %, 0.5 - 0.7 % and 0.75 - 0.90 %.
  • Cr is effective in increasing the strength of the steel sheet.
  • Cr is an element that forms ferrite and retards the formation of pearlite and bainite.
  • the A c3 temperature and the M s temperature are only slightly lowered with increasing Cr content.
  • the amount of retained austenite increases with the chromium content.
  • the amount of Cr is preferably limited to 0.8 %. Preferred ranges are therefore 0.15 - 0.6 %, 0.15 - 0.35 %, 0.3 - 0.7 %, 0.5 -0.7 %, 0.4 - 0.8 %, and 0.25 - 0.35 %.
  • Si and Cr are also efficient in reducing the risk for martensite banding in that they counteract the effect of the manganese segregation during casting.
  • the combined provision of Si and Cr has been found to result in an increased amount of residual austenite, which, in turn, results in an improved ductility.
  • the amount of Si + Cr must be ⁇ 0.9.
  • too large amounts of Si + Cr could result in a strong delay of the bainite formation and therefore Si + Cr is preferably limited to 1.4 %. Preferred ranges are therefore 1.0 - 1.4 %, 1.05 - 1.30 % and 1.1 - 1.2 %.
  • Si shall be present in the steel in at least the same amount as Cr in order to get a balance between a strong retardation of cementite precipitation and a small delay of the bainite formation kinetics as Si and Cr retards cementite formation and Cr has a strong delaying effect on the bainite formation kinetics.
  • Si is present in a greater amount than Cr.
  • Preferred ranges for Si/Cr are therefore 1 - 5, 1.5 - 3, 1.7 - 3, 1.7 - 2.8, 2 - 3 and 2.1 - 2.8.
  • the steel may optionally contain one or more of the following elements in order to adjust the microstructure, influence on transformation kinetics and/or to fine tune one or more of the mechanical properties.
  • Al promotes ferrite formation and is also commonly used as a deoxidizer.
  • Al like Si, is not soluble in the cementite and therefore considerably delays the cementite formation during bainite formation. Additions of Al result in a remarkable increase in the carbon content in the retained austenite.
  • the M s temperature is increased with increasing Al content.
  • a further drawback of Al is that it results in a drastic increase in the A c3 temperature.
  • the inventive TPF alloys can be annealed in the two-phase region substantial amounts of Al may be used.
  • Al is used with success for the substitution of Si in TRIP steel grades.
  • a main disadvantage of Al is its segregation behavior during casting. During casting Mn is enriched in the middle of the slabs and the Al-content is decreased.
  • the middle a significant austenite stabilized region or band is formed. This results at the end of the processing in martensite banding and at low strain internal cracks are formed in the martensite band.
  • Si and Cr are also enriched during casting. Hence, the propensity for martensite banding may be reduced by alloying with Si and Cr since the austenite stabilization due to the Mn enrichment is counteracted by these elements.
  • the Al content is preferably limited to 0.6 %, preferably 0.1 %, most preferably to less than 0.06 %.
  • Nb is commonly used in low alloyed steels for improving strength and toughness because of its remarkable influence on the grain size development. Nb increases the strength elongation balance by refining the matrix microstructure and the retained austenite phase due to precipitation of NbC. Hence, additions of Nb may be used to obtain a high strength steel sheet having good deep drawability. At contents above 0.1 % the effect is saturated.
  • Preferred ranges are therefore 0.01-0.08 %, 0.01 - 0.04 % and 0.01 - 0.03 %. Even more preferred ranges are 0.02-0.08 %, 0.02-0.04 % and 0.02-0.03 %.
  • Mo can be added in order to improve the strength. Addition of Mo together with Nb results in precipitation of fine NbMoC carbides which results in a further improvement in the combination of strength and ductility.
  • Ti may be added in preferred amounts of 0.01 - 0.1 %, 0.02 - 0.08 % or 0.02 - 0.05 %.
  • V may be added in preferred amounts of 0.01 - 0.1 % or 0.02 - 0.08 %.
  • These elements are solid solution strengthening elements and may have a positive effect on the corrosion resistance.
  • The may be added in amounts of 0.05 - 0.5 % or 0.1 - 0.3 % if needed.
  • Preferred ranges are ⁇ 0.004 %, 0.0005- 0.003 % and 0.0008 -0.0017 %.
  • These elements may be added in order to control the morphology of the inclusions in the steel and thereby improve the hole expandability and the stretch flangability of the steel sheet.
  • Preferred ranges are 0.0005 -0.005 % and 0.001- 0.003 %.
  • the high strength cold rolled steel sheet according to the invention has a silicon based design, i.e. the amount of Si is larger than the amount of Al, preferably Si > 1.3 Al, more preferably Si > 2AI, most preferably Si > 3Al.
  • the high strength cold rolled TPF steel sheet has a multiphase microstructure comprising (in vol. %) retained austenite 5 - 22 bainite + bainitic ferrite + tempered martensite ⁇ 80 polygonal ferrite ⁇ 10
  • the amount of retained austenite (RA) is 5-22 %, preferably 6 - 22 %, and more preferred 6 - 16 %. Because of the TRIP effect retained austenite is a prerequisite when high elongation is necessary. High amount of residual austenite decreases the stretch flangability. In these steel sheets the matrix mainly consists of the soft polygonal ferrite (PF) with an amount generally exceeding 50 %. Only a minor amount of bainitic ferrite (BF) is usually present in the final microstructure. As a consequence of insufficient local austenite stability the structure may also contain some minor amounts of fresh martensite forming during cooling to room temperature.
