Definitions
- the present invention involves warming the material before or during cold rolling to suppress the transformation of austenite to martensite. This can result in lower mill loads and higher amounts of reduction at similar loads. The ability to reduce material more can also lead to fewer intermediate anneals before material can get to final gauge.
- as-warm rolled steel has shown enhanced mechanical properties when compared to steel reduced the same amount by cold rolling. Warm rolling followed by subsequent annealing also results in better mechanical properties than those achieved in material cold rolled the same amount and then annealed. Steel that has been warm rolled, on subsequent room temperature rolling (cold rolling), shows enhancement in both strength and ductility.
- Fig. 1 depicts percent martensite in a metastable steel as a function of percent reduction resulting from warm rolling and cold rolling.
- Fig. 2 depicts percent elongation in a metastable steel as a function of percent reduction resulting from cold rolling and warm rolling.
- Fig. 3(a) depicts true stress-true strain curves for a metastable steel that was warm rolled and then cold rolled.
- Fig. 3(b) depicts true stress -true strain curves for a metastable steel that was cold rolled in two passes.
- This invention pertains to steels containing significant amount of metastable
- austenite (10%-100% austenite), referred to as "metastable steel.” Austenite is deemed metastable if it transforms to martensite upon mechanical deformation. Such martensite is called deformation-induced martensite. Steels containing such metastable austenite can be carbon steel or stainless steel.
- IF Instability Factor
- Md30 temperature is the temperature above which no martensite is formed upon deformation.
- Md and Md30 temperatures are well-known in the art. In addition to being empirically determined, the Md30 temperature for a particular steel composition can also be calculated by one of the several equations that can be found in literature, including the following:
- Md30 temperature of the austenite of a given metastable steel composition the more unstable is the austenite. Md30 temperature in such metastable austenite is above the M s temperature (martensite start temperature of thermal martensite).
- Steels with a significant amount of metastable austenite work hardens rapidly as the austenite transforms to higher strength martensite. This work hardening, and resulting martensite, can present a challenge when further cold rolling such steels because they can require loads that may exceed a mill's capability. Such metastable steels then need to be annealed to form some or all austenite before they can be cold rolled further.
- the steel can be rolled to thinner gauges, with lower mill loads.
- One way to suppress such transformation is to warm the material prior to or during cold rolling. Warm rolling has shown to have additional benefit resulting in better mechanical properties.
- the methods of the present application involve rolling such metastable steels while the steel is warm. It is considered warm when the metastable steel temperature is above room temperature (typically about 80°F). For certain embodiments, the steel is warmed to a temperature near or above the Md temperature for the particular metastable steel composition. In other embodiments, the steel is warmed to a temperature above the Md30 temperature for the particular metastable steel composition. In other embodiments, the metastable steel is warmed to a temperature less than or equal to 250°F.
- the metastable steel is melt, cast, hot rolled, and annealed prior to cold rolling (if applicable) in accordance with typical metal-making processing for the particular composition.
- at least one "cold rolling" pass is a "warm rolling" pass that is performed while the steel is warm, i.e., while the steel is at a temperature above 80°F.
- the steel is warmed to a temperature no greater than 250°F.
- the metastable steel is warmed to a temperature near or above the Md temperature for the particular metastable steel composition.
- the metastable steel is warmed to a temperature near or above the Md30 temperature for the particular metastable steel composition.
- Such warm rolling passes can be one or more of the first, second, or any subsequent "cold rolling" steps.
- the metastable steel may be any suitable metal
- the metastable steel may be warm rolled in a first pass, annealed, and then cold rolled (at room temperature) in a second pass.
- a metastable steel was prepared by melting a heat with a chemistry that had an
- Instability Factor of 8.5 and M d 30 (Nohara) 447.6 °F.
- the heat was continuously cast into slabs.
- the slabs were re-heated to 2300 °F and hot rolled to a thickness of 0.175", with a coiling temperature of 1000 °F.
- the hot band was the then pickled to remove the scale. Sections of the pickled hot bands were cold rolled and warm rolled. For purpose of warm rolling, the hot band sections were warmed to desired temperatures in a furnace and rolled to desired gauges.
- Figure 1 shows the amount of martensite transformation from cold and warm
- FIG. 1 shows the % elongation of the metastable steel, after warm rolling and cold rolling to different reduction amounts. Surprisingly, warm rolling led to an increase in % elongation till certain amount of reduction before starting to drop.
- the benefits of warm rolling can be tailored by either varying the amount of reduction performed at a temperature or by varying the temperature. On the other hand, cold rolling at room temperature always leads to a decrease in % elongation for metastable steels.
- Fig. 3(a) shows true stress strain data from the metastable steel that had been warm rolled 30% and subsequently cold rolled at room temperature to various reductions.
- "WR” refers to warm rolling
- RT refers to cold rolling at room temperature.
- 30% warm rolling followed by additional 10% cold rolling showed an increase in both elongation and strength.
- UTS ultimate tensile strength
- the metastable steel of Example 1 above shows the effect of warm rolling on steel containing metastable austenite as further shown by the test data set forth in the Tables 1 and 2 below, which compares properties of the steel containing metastable austenite that has been fully annealed (Coil 1) with steel containing metastable austenite that was 25% warm rolled in the plant (Coil 2).
- HER Hole Expansion 5%, 10%, 21%, 39%, 45% ! 3.6%, 11.2%, 20.6%, 20.1%,
