Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a high-strength steel material having excellent durability and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • members of chassis parts and wheel discs of commercial vehicles have used high-strength steel plates having a thickness of 5 mm or more and a yield strength of 450 to 600 MPa in order to secure high rigidity due to characteristics of the vehicles.
  • high-strength steel materials having a tensile strength of 650 MPa or more are currently used therein.
  • Patent Document 1 has proposed that conventional hot-rolling be performed in an austenite region and coiling then be performed at a high temperature, to form a ferrite phase as matrix structure and a precipitate as a fine structure.
  • Patent Document 2 has proposed that a technique in which a coiling temperature is cooled to a temperature at which a bainite phase is formed as a matrix structure so as not to generate a coarse pearlite structure, and coiling is then performed.
  • Patent Document 3 discloses a technique of miniaturizing austenite grains by using titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), and the like to roll at a reduction ratio of 40% or more in a non-recrystallized region during hot-rolling.
  • alloy components such as Si, Mn, Al, Mo, and Cr may be mainly used.
  • strength of a hot-rolled steel sheet may be effectively improved, when a large amount of alloy components are added, some components may be segregated in the steel or may cause microstructure non-uniformity to deteriorate shear formability, and microcracks generated in a sheared surface may be easily propagated under a fatigue environment, to break parts.
  • microstructure non-uniformity between a surface portion and a central portion in a thickness direction may increase, and occurrence of cracks in the sheared surface may increase, and a propagation speed of the cracks may increase under a fatigue environment, to deteriorate durability.
  • Patent Documents 1 to 3 do not take into account the fatigue characteristics of thick steel materials having high strength.
  • An aspect of the present disclosure is to provide a steel material having a certain thickness, high strength, and excellent durability, as a thick steel material, and a method of manufacturing the same.
  • a high-strength steel material having excellent durability includes, by weight, carbon (C): 0.05 to 0.15%, silicon (Si): 0.01 to 1.0%, manganese (Mn): 1.0 to 2.3%, aluminum (Al): 0.01 to 0.1%, chromium (Cr): 0.005 to 1.0%, phosphorus (P): 0.001 to 0.05%, sulfur (S): 0.001 to 0.01%, nitrogen (N): 0.001 to 0.01%, niobium (Nb): 0.005 to 0.07%, titanium (Ti): 0.005 to 0.11%, a balance of Fe, and other inevitable impurities,
  • a sum of a fraction of a ferrite phase and a fraction of a bainite phase in a microstructure is 90% or more, and a fraction of a crystal grain, in which an aspect ratio (a ratio of short side/long side) of the crystal grain in a central portion (a portion ranging from a t/4 point to a t/2 point in a thickness direction) is 0.3 or less, is less than 50%, and a length of a grain boundary observed in a unit area (1 mm 2 ) in the central portion is 700 mm or more.
  • a method of manufacturing a high-strength steel material having excellent durability includes heating a steel slab satisfying the above-described alloy composition in a temperature within a range of 1200 to 1350°C; hot-rolling the heated steel slab to prepare a hot-rolled steel sheet; cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet to a temperature within a range of 400 to 500°C and then coiling (CT); and air-cooling to a temperature within a range of room temperature to 200°C after the coiling,
  • CT coiling
  • the hot-rolling includes finish hot-rolling performed at a temperature (FDT (°C)) satisfying the following Relationship 1
  • the steel material of the present disclosure has an effect of being suitably applied to members of chassis parts and wheel discs of vehicles, or the like.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating ratios of fatigue strength and yield strength of Inventive Steel and Comparative Steel, depending on a thickness, in an embodiment of the present disclosure.
  • the present inventors have conducted intensive research to fundamentally solve a problem of lowering durability during forming of existing thick steel materials for vehicles.
  • the present inventors have investigated changes in crack distribution and durability in a sheared surface after forming, according to a composition and a microstructure of existing thick steel materials, and have found that the durability were changed according to shape control of crystal grains in a central portion of the steel materials in a thickness direction.
  • the present inventors have confirmed that a steel material excellent in cross-section quality during forming with high strength to have a target durability may be provided, and the present disclosure has been then accomplished.
  • a high-strength steel material having excellent durability may include, by weight, carbon (C): 0.05 to 0.15%, silicon (Si) : 0.01 to 1.0%, manganese (Mn): 1.0 to 2.3%, aluminum (Al) : 0.01 to 0.1%, chromium (Cr): 0.005 to 1.0%, phosphorus (P): 0.001 to 0.05%, sulfur (S): 0.001 to 0.01%, nitrogen (N): 0.001 to 0.01%, niobium (Nb): 0.005 to 0.07%, titanium (Ti): 0.005 to 0.11%.
  • an amount of each component means weight %, and a ratio of a structure is based on an area.
  • Carbon (C) may be the most economical and effective element for strengthening steel. When an amount thereof increases, a precipitation strengthening effect may increase or a fraction of a bainite phase may increase, to improve tensile strength. In addition, as a thickness of a hot-rolled steel material increases, a cooling rate in a central portion in a thickness direction during cooling after hot-rolling becomes slower, and when an amount of C is large, coarse carbide or pearlite may be likely to be formed.
  • an amount of C when an amount of C is less than 0.05%, it may be difficult to obtain a sufficient strengthening effect of the steel.
  • an amount of C exceeds 0.15%, there may be a problem that a pearlite phase or coarse carbide is formed in the central portion in a thickness direction to deteriorate shear formability and durability.
  • C may be included in an amount of 0.05 to 0.15%, and, more advantageously, may be included in an amount of 0.06 to 0.12%.
  • Silicon (Si) may be advantageous in deoxidizing molten steel, having a solid solution strengthening effect, and delaying formation of coarse carbides to improve formability.
  • the solid solution strengthening effect may be small, the effect of delaying the formation of carbides may be also low, and it may be difficult to improve the formability.
  • an amount of Si exceeds 1.0%, red scale may be formed on a surface of the steel sheet during hot-rolling, to greatly deteriorate surface quality of the steel sheet, as well as ductility and weldability.
  • Si may be included in an amount of 0.01 to 1.0%, and, more advantageously, may be included in an amount of 0.2 to 0.7%.
  • manganese (Mn) may be an element, effective for solid solution strengthening of steel, and may increase hardenability of steel to facilitate formation of a bainite phase during cooling after hot-rolling.
  • a segregation portion may be greatly developed in a central portion in a thickness direction, when casting a slab. Further, a microstructure may be formed unevenly in a thickness direction during cooling after hot-rolling, to deteriorate shear formability and durability.
  • Mn may be included in an amount of 1.0 to 2.3%, and, more advantageously, may be included in an amount of 1.1 to 2.0%.
  • Aluminum (Al) may be an element mainly added for deoxidation. When an amount thereof is less than 0.01%, an effect of the addition may not be sufficiently obtained. When an amount thereof exceeds 0.1%, it may be easy to cause corner cracks in a slab during a continuous casting process by combining with nitrogen (N) in steel to form AlN, and there may be a risk of generating defects due to formation of inclusions.
  • Al may be included in an amount of 0.01 to 0.1%.
  • aluminum may refer to soluble aluminum (Sol. Al).
  • Chromium (Cr) may plays a role in helping solid-solution strengthening of steel, and formation of bainite at a coiling temperature by delaying transformation of a ferrite phase during cooling.
  • Cr may be included in an amount of 0.005% or more.
  • an amount thereof exceeds 1.0% the ferrite transformation may be excessively delayed and a martensite phase may be formed, to deteriorate elongation.
  • a segregation portion may be largely developed in a central portion in a thickness direction.
  • a microstructure may be formed unevenly in a thickness direction, to deteriorate shear formability and durability.
  • Cr may be included in an amount of 0.005 to 1.0%, and, more advantageously, may be included in an amount of 0.3 to 0.9%.
  • Phosphorus (P) may be an element simultaneously promoting solid solution strengthening and ferrite transformation.
