  • pickling-rolling step cold rolling is performed after pickling, wherein the cold rolling reduction is ⁇ 45%.
  • the holding temperature in the soaking stage is 760-840 °C, while the holding time is 60-225 s; and the holding temperature in the over-aging stage is 250-320 °C, while the holding time in the over-aging stage is 300-1225 s.
  • the products whose tensile strength grade is greater than or equal to 1300 MPa as disclosed by the existing patent documents are generally galvanized, and contain high Si and high Al according to some patents, which is not conducive to surface quality and production.
  • the products contain relatively high amounts of precious alloy elements such as Cr and Mo, and thus the production cost is high.
  • One of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide an ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel.
  • a reasonable design of the chemical elements in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel i.e. a design of medium Si and low Al to reduce the use of alloy elements such as Si and Al, the problems with the surface quality caused by high Si and the slab defects caused by high Al are avoided.
  • precious alloy elements such as Cr and Mo are not used in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, and thus the alloy cost is controlled effectively. At the same time, the contents of impurity elements P and S are reduced, which is beneficial to promotion of performances and improvement of delayed cracking.
  • the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel has a yield strength of ⁇ 900 MPa, preferably ⁇ 930 MPa, a tensile strength of ⁇ 1300 MPa, preferably ⁇ 1320 MPa, an elongation after fracture of ⁇ 5%, preferably ⁇ 5.5%, an initial hydrogen content of ⁇ 10 ppm, preferably ⁇ 7 ppm; and it does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to the tensile strength, and preferably does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to 1.2 times of the tensile strength. It can be used effectively for manufacture of automotive safety structural parts. It is highly valuable and promising for popularization and application.
  • the present disclosure provides an ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel having a matrix structure of ferrite + martensite, wherein ferrite and martensite are distributed evenly like islands, and wherein the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel comprises the following chemical elements in mass percentages, in addition to Fe: C: 0.12-0.2%, Si: 0.5-1.0%, Mn: 2.5-3.0%, Al: 0.02-0.05%, Nb: 0.02-0.05%, Ti: 0.02-0.05%, B: 0.001%-0.003%.
  • the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel comprises the following chemical elements in mass percentages: C: 0.12-0.2%, Si: 0.5-1.0%, Mn: 2.5-3.0%, Al: 0.02-0.05%, Nb: 0.02-0.05%, Ti: 0.02-0.05%, B: 0.001%-0.003%, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities.
  • C In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, C is a solid solution strengthening element, and it is a guarantee for the material to obtain high strength. However, it should be noted that the higher the C content in the steel, the harder the martensite and the greater the tendency for delayed cracking to occur. Therefore, when a product is designed, it's better to choose a low-carbon design. In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of C is controlled at 0.12-0.2%.
  • the mass percentage of C may be controlled at 0.14-0.18%.
  • Si has an effect of increasing the elongation of the steel. Si also has a great influence on the structure of the steel. Particularly, it promotes purification of ferrite and formation of retained austenite. At the same time, it can improve the tempering resistance of martensite, and inhibit precipitation and growth of Fe 3 C, so that the dominated precipitates formed during tempering are ⁇ carbides.
  • the mass percentage of Si in the steel is less than 0.5%, the elongation and tempering resistance of the steel will be affected; if the mass percentage of Si is higher than 1.0%, other metallurgical quality defects will be caused. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Si is controlled at 0.5-1.0%.
  • Mn In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, Mn is an element that strongly improves the hardenability of austenite, and it can improve the strength of the steel effectively by forming more martensite. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Mn is controlled at 2.5-3.0%.
  • the mass percentage of Mn may be controlled at 2.5-2.8%.
  • Al is a deoxygenating element. It can remove oxygen and refine grains in the steel. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Al is controlled at 0.02-0.05%.
  • Nb and Ti are elements for precipitation of carbonitrides. They can refine grains, precipitate carbonitrides, and improve the strength of the material. They can be added separately or in combination. However, it should be noted that if the mass percentage of Nb or Ti in the steel is higher than 0.05%, the strengthening effect is not obvious. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel of the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Nb is controlled at 0.02-0.05%, and the mass percentage of Ti is controlled at 0.02-0.05%.
  • B In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, B is used as a strong element for hardenability. An appropriate amount of B can increase the hardenability of the steel, and promote formation of martensite. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of B is controlled at 0.001%-0.003%.
  • the unavoidable impurities include the P, S and N elements, and the contents thereof are controlled to be at least one of the following: P ⁇ 0.01%, S ⁇ 0.002%, N ⁇ 0.004%.
  • the P, S and N elements are all unavoidable impurity elements in the steel. It's better to lower the contents of the P, S and N elements in the steel as far as possible. S tends to form MnS inclusions which will seriously affect the hole expansion rate.

    • Background Art
  • As weight reduction and safety are required in the automotive industry, the market has an increasing demand for higher-strength steel plates. Because dual-phase steel has excellent properties such as low yield strength, high tensile strength and high initial work hardening rate in addition to its low production cost and high manufacturability, it is widely used in the production of automotive parts.
  • At present, strength levels of 80 kg and 100 kg are mainly demanded in the market. The current highest strength level is 1180DP grade characterized by a tensile strength of greater than or equal to 1200 MPa, a yield strength of about 850 MPa, and a total elongation of about 10%. A critical continuous annealing process is used for the production of cold-rolled dual-phase steel whose tensile strength depends on the fraction of martensite in the annealed structure. The higher the martensite fraction, the higher the tensile strength. Thus, a higher annealing temperature is needed in the production to form a higher martensite fraction. The highest strength level of dual-phase steel that can be produced commercially is 1180 MPa, namely DP 1180 steel.

  • As it can be seen, the products whose tensile strength grade is greater than or equal to 1300 MPa as disclosed by the existing patent documents are generally galvanized, and contain high Si and high Al according to some patents, which is not conducive to surface quality and production. In some patent technologies, the products contain relatively high amounts of precious alloy elements such as Cr and Mo, and thus the production cost is high.
    • Summary
  • One of the objects of the present disclosure is to provide an ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel. By a reasonable design of the chemical elements in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel, i.e. a design of medium Si and low Al to reduce the use of alloy elements such as Si and Al, the problems with the surface quality caused by high Si and the slab defects caused by high Al are avoided.
  • In addition, precious alloy elements such as Cr and Mo are not used in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, and thus the alloy cost is controlled effectively. At the same time, the contents of impurity elements P and S are reduced, which is beneficial to promotion of performances and improvement of delayed cracking. The ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel has a yield strength of ≥900 MPa, preferably≥930 MPa, a tensile strength of ≥1300 MPa, preferably ≥1320 MPa, an elongation after fracture of ≥5%, preferably ≥5.5%, an initial hydrogen content of ≤10 ppm, preferably ≤ 7 ppm; and it does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to the tensile strength, and preferably does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to 1.2 times of the tensile strength. It can be used effectively for manufacture of automotive safety structural parts. It is highly valuable and promising for popularization and application.
  • In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure provides an ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel having a matrix structure of ferrite + martensite, wherein ferrite and martensite are distributed evenly like islands, and wherein the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel comprises the following chemical elements in mass percentages, in addition to Fe:
    C: 0.12-0.2%, Si: 0.5-1.0%, Mn: 2.5-3.0%, Al: 0.02-0.05%, Nb: 0.02-0.05%, Ti: 0.02-0.05%, B: 0.001%-0.003%.
  • Further, the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel comprises the following chemical elements in mass percentages:
    C: 0.12-0.2%, Si: 0.5-1.0%, Mn: 2.5-3.0%, Al: 0.02-0.05%, Nb: 0.02-0.05%, Ti: 0.02-0.05%, B: 0.001%-0.003%, and a balance of Fe and other unavoidable impurities.
  • In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel, the various chemical elements are designed according to the following principles:
    C: In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, C is a solid solution strengthening element, and it is a guarantee for the material to obtain high strength. However, it should be noted that the higher the C content in the steel, the harder the martensite and the greater the tendency for delayed cracking to occur. Therefore, when a product is designed, it's better to choose a low-carbon design. In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of C is controlled at 0.12-0.2%.
  • In some preferred embodiments, the mass percentage of C may be controlled at 0.14-0.18%.
  • Si: In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, Si has an effect of increasing the elongation of the steel. Si also has a great influence on the structure of the steel. Particularly, it promotes purification of ferrite and formation of retained austenite. At the same time, it can improve the tempering resistance of martensite, and inhibit precipitation and growth of Fe3C, so that the dominated precipitates formed during tempering are ε carbides. However, it should be noted that when the mass percentage of Si in the steel is less than 0.5%, the elongation and tempering resistance of the steel will be affected; if the mass percentage of Si is higher than 1.0%, other metallurgical quality defects will be caused. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Si is controlled at 0.5-1.0%.
  • Mn: In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, Mn is an element that strongly improves the hardenability of austenite, and it can improve the strength of the steel effectively by forming more martensite. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Mn is controlled at 2.5-3.0%.
  • In some preferred embodiments, the mass percentage of Mn may be controlled at 2.5-2.8%.
  • Al: In the ultra-high strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, Al is a deoxygenating element. It can remove oxygen and refine grains in the steel. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Al is controlled at 0.02-0.05%.
  • Nb and Ti: In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, Nb and Ti are elements for precipitation of carbonitrides. They can refine grains, precipitate carbonitrides, and improve the strength of the material. They can be added separately or in combination. However, it should be noted that if the mass percentage of Nb or Ti in the steel is higher than 0.05%, the strengthening effect is not obvious. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel of the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Nb is controlled at 0.02-0.05%, and the mass percentage of Ti is controlled at 0.02-0.05%.
  • B: In the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, B is used as a strong element for hardenability. An appropriate amount of B can increase the hardenability of the steel, and promote formation of martensite. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of B is controlled at 0.001%-0.003%.
  • Further, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the unavoidable impurities include the P, S and N elements, and the contents thereof are controlled to be at least one of the following: P ≤0.01%, S≤0.002%, N≤0.004%.
  • In the above technical solution, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the P, S and N elements are all unavoidable impurity elements in the steel. It's better to lower the contents of the P, S and N elements in the steel as far as possible. S tends to form MnS inclusions which will seriously affect the hole expansion rate. The P element may reduce the toughness of the steel, which is not conducive to the delayed cracking performance. An unduly high content of the N element in the steel is prone to causing cracks on the surface of the slab, which will greatly affect the performances of the steel. Therefore, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage of P is controlled at P≤0.01%; the mass percentage of S is controlled at S≤0.002%; and the mass percentage of N is controlled at N ≤0.004%.
  • Further, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the mass percentage contents of the chemical elements satisfy at least one of the following:
    • C: 0.14-0.18%,
    • Mn: 2.5-2.8%.
  • Further, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, the phase proportion (by volume) of martensite is >90%.
  • Further, in the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, martensite further comprises coherently distributed ε carbides.
  • Further, the performances of the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure meet at least one of the following: yield strength ≥900 MPa, tensile strength ≥1300 MPa, elongation after fracture ≥5%,initial hydrogen content ≤10 ppm; no delayed cracking when soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to the tensile strength.
  • Further, the performances of the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure meet at least one of the following: yield strength ≥930 MPa, tensile strength ≥1320 MPa, elongation after fracture ≥5.5%, initial hydrogen content ≤7 ppm; no delayed cracking when soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to 1.2 times of the tensile strength.
  • Further, the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure has a yield strength of ≥930 MPa, a tensile strength of ≥1320 MPa, an elongation after fracture of ≥5.5%, an initial hydrogen content of ≤7 ppm; and it does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to 1.2 times of the tensile strength.
  • Accordingly, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a method for manufacturing an ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel. The ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel manufactured by this method has a yield strength of ≥900 MPa, a tensile strength of ≥1300 MPa, an elongation after fracture of ≥5%, an initial hydrogen content of ≤10 ppm, and it does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to the tensile strength. It can be used effectively for manufacture of automotive safety structural parts. It is highly valuable and promising for popularization and application.
  • To fulfil the above object, the present disclosure proposes a method for manufacturing the above ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel, comprising steps of:
    1. (1) Smelting and continuous casting;
    2. (2) Hot rolling;
    3. (3) Cold rolling;
    4. (4) Annealing: heating to an annealing soaking temperature of 800-850 °C, preferably 805-845 °C at a heating rate of 3-10 °C/s, the annealing time being 40-200 s; and then rapidly cooling at a rate of 30-80 °C/s, a starting temperature of the rapid cooling being 670-730 °C;
    5. (5) Tempering: tempering temperature: 260-320 °C, preferably 260-310 °C; tempering time: 100-400 s, preferably 100-300 s;
    6. (6) Temper rolling;
    7. (7) Electro-galvanizing.
  • A combination of high temperature soaking and medium temperature tempering is employed for the annealing. The high temperature soaking gives rise to more austenite transformation, and thus more martensite is obtained during the subsequent rapid cooling, which finally guarantees higher strength before tempering. The medium temperature tempering provides the material with a moderate yield ratio on the one hand, and on the other hand, it has a better effect in improving the delayed cracking performance. In a preferred embodiment, the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure has a yield ratio of 0.70-0.75.
  • In the method for manufacturing the ultra-high strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, by adopting the medium to low temperature tempering treatment after the continuous annealing and controlling the relevant process parameters, uniform, fine and dispersive coherent ε carbides can be easily precipitated during tempering of martensite on the one hand, and on the other hand, the manner of long-term tempering at medium to low temperature enables removal of superfluous hydrogen from the steel plate to the greatest extent, i.e. diffusion of it out of the steel plate, so that the amount of hydrogen in its original state in the steel plate can be reduced. This is not only beneficial to reduce the hardness of martensite and the diffusion of hydrogen inside the steel plate, but also very beneficial to the mechanical properties and delayed cracking performance of the steel.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, in step (1), a drawing speed in the continuous casting is controlled at 0.9-1.5 m/min.
  • In the above technical solution, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, in step (1), the continuous casting may be performed in a secondary cooling mode with a large amount of water to minimize segregation.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, in step (2), the cast slab is controlled to be soaked at a temperature of 1220-1260 °C, preferably 1220-1250 °C; then rolled with a finishing rolling temperature being controlled at 880-920 °C; then cooled at a rate of 20-70 °C/s after rolling; then coiled at a coiling temperature of 600-650 °C, preferably 605-645 °C; and then subjected to heat preservation treatment after coiling. Preferably, the heat preservation treatment is performed for 1-5 hours after coiling.
  • In the method for manufacturing the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure, in step (2), in order to guarantee the stability of the rolling load, the heating temperature is controlled at 1220 °C or higher. Meanwhile, the upper limit of the heating temperature is controlled to be 1260 °C in order to prevent increase of oxidative burning loss. Therefore, the cast slab is finally controlled to be soaked at a temperature of 1220-1260 °C.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, in step (3), the cold rolling reduction rate is controlled at 45-65%.
  • In the above technical solution, in the step (3), before cold rolling at a cold rolling reduction rate controlled at 45-65%, iron oxide scale on the surface of the steel plate can be removed by pickling.
  • Further, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, in step (6), the temper rolling reduction rate is controlled at ≤0.3%.
  • In the above technical solution according to the present disclosure, in step (6), in order to guarantee the flatness of the steel plate, a certain amount of temper rolling needs to be performed, but an excessively large amount of temper rolling will increase the yield strength of the steel too much. Therefore, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, the temper rolling reduction rate is controlled at ≤0.3%.
  • In the above technical solution according to the present disclosure, step (7) may be performed by a conventional electro-galvanizing method. Preferably, double-side plating is performed, and the weight of the plating layer on one side is in the range of 10-100 g/m2.
  • Compared with the prior art, the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel and the manufacturing method thereof have the following advantages and beneficial effects:
    The composition of the ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel according to the present disclosure is designed reasonably. That is, a design of medium Si and low Al is employed to reduce the use of alloy elements such as Si and Al, so that the problems with the surface quality caused by high Si and the slab defects caused by high Al are avoided. In addition, the steel is free of precious alloy elements such as Cr and Mo, and the alloy content is low. The manufacturability and economic efficiency of the steel are very good. The alloy cost is controlled effectively. The ultra-high-strength dual-phase steel has a yield strength of ≥900 MPa, a tensile strength of ≥1300 MPa, an elongation after fracture of ≥5%, an initial hydrogen content of ≤10 ppm; and it does not experience delayed cracking when it is soaked in 1 mol/L hydrochloric acid for 300 hours under a pre-stress of greater than or equal to the tensile strength. It can be used effectively for manufacture of automotive safety structural parts. It is highly valuable and promising for popularization and application.
  • In addition, in the manufacturing method according to the present disclosure, by adopting the medium to low temperature tempering treatment after the continuous annealing and controlling the relevant process parameters, uniform, fine and dispersive coherent ε carbides can be easily precipitated during tempering of martensite on the one hand, and on the other hand, the manner of long-term tempering at medium to low temperature enables removal of superfluous hydrogen from the steel plate to the greatest extent, i.e. diffusion of it out of the steel plate, so that the amount of hydrogen in its original state in the steel plate can be reduced. This is not only beneficial to reduce the hardness of martensite and the diffusion of hydrogen inside the steel plate, but also very beneficial to the mechanical properties and delayed cracking performance of the steel, thereby effectively ensuring that the produced ultra-high strength dual-phase steel has excellent mechanical properties, excellent resistance to delayed cracking, and a lower initial hydrogen content.
