Definitions

  • the present invention relates to steel plate and a method of production of the same.
  • Gears, clutches, and other auto parts are produced through stamping, forging, press-forming, and other working processes.
  • improvement of the workability of the starting material carbon steel plate has been sought. Further, these parts are quenched and tempered, then used at a high strength, so excellent hardenability is demanded.
  • PLT 1 discloses high carbon steel plate excellent in workability, hardenability, and toughness after heat treatment containing, by mass%, C: 0.20 to 0.45%, Mn: 0.40 to 1.50%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.02% or less, P+S: 0.010% or more, Cr: 0.01 to 0.80%, Ti: 0.005 to 0.050%, and B: 0.0003 to 0.0050% and having a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, further, containing Sn: 0.05% or less and Te: 0.05% or less and containing a total of Sn+Te of 0.005% or more, and comprised of a mixed structure of ferrite and pearlite or a mixed structure of ferrite and cementite.
  • PLT 2 discloses a method of production of high hardenability high carbon hot rolled steel plate comprising hot rolling steel containing, by mass%, C: 0.2 to 0.7%, Si: 2% or less, Mn: 2% or less, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.03% or less, sol.
  • Al 0.08% or less
  • N 0.01% or less and having a balance of iron and unavoidable impurities until the finishing temperature (Ar3 transformation point-20°C) or more, cooling it by a cooling rate of over 120°C/sec down to a cooling end temperature of 620°C or less, coiling it by a coiling temperature of 600°C or less to control it to a structure having over volume fraction 20% bainite phases, pickling it, and annealing it by an annealing temperature of 640°C to the Ac1 transformation point to obtain spheroidized structures.
  • the high carbon steel plate described in PLT 1 also uses the high hardness pearlite in the starting material structure and is not necessarily excellent in workability.
  • PLT 2 does not describe a specific form of structure excellent in workability.
  • the present invention in consideration of the current state of the prior art, has as its object the provision of steel plate improved in formability and wear resistance, in particular suitable for obtaining gears, clutches, and other parts by forming thick gauge plate, and a method of production of the same.
  • Ferrite phases are low in hardness and high in ductility. Therefore, in a structure mainly comprised of ferrite, by making the grain size larger, it becomes possible to raise the formability of the material.
  • Carbides by being made to suitably disperse in the metal structure, can maintain the formability of the material while imparting excellent wear resistance and rolling fatigue characteristics, so are structures essential for drive system parts. Further, carbides in steel plate are strong grains inhibiting slip. By making carbides present at the ferrite grain boundaries, it is possible to prevent the propagation of slip crossing crystal grain boundaries and suppress the formation of a shear zone, improve the cold forgeability, and simultaneously improve the formability of the steel plate.
  • cementite is a hard and brittle structure. If present in the state of a layered structure with ferrite, that is, pearlite, the steel becomes hard and brittle, so it must be made present in a spheroidal shape. If considering the cold forgeability and formation of cracks at the time of forging, the grain size has to be a suitable range.
  • the plate should be coiled up at a relatively low temperature (400°C to 550°C). By coiling at a relatively low temperature, the cementite dispersed in the ferrite also becomes easy to spheroidize.
  • the cementite should be partially spheroidized by annealing at a temperature of right below the Ac1 point.
  • part of the ferrite grains should be left while causing part to transform to austenite by annealing at a temperature between the Ac1 point and the Ac3 point (so-called dual phase region of ferrite and austenite).
  • the plate should be slowly cooled to cause the remaining ferrite grains to grow while using these as nuclei for transformation of austenite to ferrite to thereby obtain large ferrite phases while causing cementite to precipitate at the grain boundaries and realize the above structure.
  • the present invention was made based on the above findings and has as its gist the following:
  • C is an element which forms carbides in the steel and is effective for strengthening of steel and refinement of ferrite grains.
  • C is made 0.10% or more. Preferably it is 0.12% or more.

  • it is 0.28% or less.
  • Mn is an element which raises the hardenability and contributes to the improvement of the strength. If less than 1.00%, securing the strength after hardening and the residual carbides after hardening becomes difficult, so Mn is made 1.00% or more. Preferably, it is 1.09% or more.
  • Mn is made 2.00% or less.
  • it is 1.91% or less.
  • Al is an element acting as a deoxidizing agent of the steel and stabilizing ferrite. With less than 0.001%, the effect due to addition is not sufficiently obtained, so Al is made 0.001% or more. Preferably it is 0.004% or more.

  • S is an impurity element forming MnS and other nonmetallic inclusions.
  • Nonmetallic inclusions become starting points of fracture at the time of cold working, so S is preferably as small as possible, but if reducing it to less than 0.0001%, the refining costs greatly increase, so S is made 0.0001% or more. Preferably it is 0.0012% or more.
  • S is made 0.010% or less. Preferably, it is 0.007% or less.
  • N is an element causing embrittlement of ferrite if contained in a large amount and is preferably as small as possible.
  • the content of N may be made 0 as well, but if reducing it to less than 0.0001%, the refining costs greatly increase, so the substantive lower limit is 0.0001 to 0.0006%.
  • N is made 0.010% or less. Preferably, it is 0.007% or less.
  • O is an element forming coarse oxides in the steel if contained in a large amount and is preferably as small as possible.
  • the content of O may also be 0%, but if reducing it to less than 0.0001%, the refining costs greatly increase, so the substantive lower limit is 0.0001 to 0.0011%.

  • Sn is an element which enters from the steel starting materials (scrap). It segregates at the grain boundaries and invites a drop in the number ratio of the grain boundary carbides, so is preferably as small as possible.
  • the content of Sn may also be 0, but if reducing it to less than 0.001%, the refining costs greatly increase, so the substantive lower limit is 0.001 to 0.002%.
  • Sn is made 0.050% or less. Preferably, it is 0.040% or less.
  • Sb like Sn, is an element which enters from the steel starting materials (scrap). It segregates at the grain boundaries and invites a drop in the number ratio of the grain boundary carbides, so is preferably as small as possible.
  • the content of Sb may also be 0, but if reducing it to less than 0.001%, the refining costs greatly increase, so the substantive lower limit is 0.001 to 0.002%.
  • Sb is made 0.050% or less. Preferably, it is 0.040% or less.
  • the content of As may also be 0, but if reducing it to less than 0.001%, the refining costs greatly increase, so the substantive lower limit is 0.001 to 0.002%.
  • As is made 0.050% or less. Preferably, it is 0.040% or less.
  • the steel plate of the present invention has the above elements as basic components, but may further contain the following elements for the purpose of improving the cold forgeability of the steel plate.
  • the following elements are not essential for obtaining the effects of the present invention, so their contents may be 0 as well.
  • Cr is an element which raises the hardenability and contributes to the improvement of the strength and, further, is an element which concentrates at the carbides and forms stable carbides even in the austenite phases.

  • Mo is made 0.10% or less. Preferably, it is 0.08% or less.

To obtain the effect of addition, Nb preferably is made 0.001% or more. More preferably, it is 0.002% or more. On the other hand, if over 0.10%, a large number of fine Nb carbides precipitate, the strength excessively rises, further, the number ratio of the grain boundary carbides decreases and the cold workability deteriorates, so Nb is made 0.10% or less.

  • V 0.10% or less
  • V also, like Nb, is an element effective for control of the form of carbides. Further, it is an element refining the structure and contributing to improvement of the toughness.

On the other hand, if over 0.10%, a large number of fine V carbides precipitate, the strength excessively rises, further, the number ratio of the grain boundary carbides decreases and the cold workability deteriorates, so V is made 0.10% or less. Preferably, it is 0.08% or less.

  • Cu preferably is made 0.001% or more. More preferably, it is 0.005% or more.
