Definitions

  • This invention relates to a high strength steel sheet with excellent hole expandability and to a method of producing the same.
  • AHSS advanced high strength steels
  • Automotive parts are often cold formed and the manufacturing process includes shear cutting and flanging. Problems often may when the sheared edges are stretched during pressing as they are susceptible to crack formation.
  • the flangeability characterized by hole expansion capacity (HEC)
  • HEC hole expansion capacity
  • the drawability is governed by global ductility, characterized by elongation in tensile tests
  • the stretch flangeability is governed by local ductility, characterized by the hole expansion ratio in hole expansion tests or by the bending angle in bending tests, respectively.
  • Global ductility and local ductility are incompatible. The total elongation depends mainly on the strain localization in the matrix phase while the local ductility depends on the micro-scale uniformity: the more uniform the microstructure is, the better the stretch flangeability is, although stretch flangeability is also known to decrease with increasing strength.
  • Bendability can also be construed to be similar to stretch flangeability, as a fracture due to a large local deformation, and can be adjusted by the scatter of hardness (i.e. the distribution of hard and soft phases in the microstructure). As steels became increasingly stronger, they simultaneously became increasingly difficult to form into automotive parts. While there have been major improvements recently in the trade-off between ductility and strength, the stretch flangeability of AHSS remains a critical issue.
  • Dual-phase (DP) steels and low alloy transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels are known to show high elongation.
  • these steels are characterized by a large difference in hardness between the main phase, which consists of soft polygonal ferrite and the hard second phase of martensite.
  • These types of steel are inferior in stretch flangeability (local ductility) because of voids that form at the interphase between these phases during deformation processes such as punching.
  • CP Complex phase
  • the invention is embodied in a cold-rolled and hot press formed steel product comprising (in wt.%): - C: 0.050-0.180;
  • the steel optionally also comprising one or more elements selected from
  • bainitic ferrite is formed during austempering in the temperature range between Ms and Bs.
  • FM fresh martensite refers to the martensite formed during cooling after the austempering treatment.
  • strip When in the context of this invention use is made of the term “strip”, then this term is deemed to encompass a sheet or any sheetlike material produced from the strip.
  • the present invention solves the problems using following measures.
  • the amount of the second phases (FM + RA + carbides) is controlled to below a certain level.
  • the boundaries between FM, carbides and the ferritic matrix are the original sources of void formation during forming.
  • the RA can produce the TRIP effect to increase the elongation.
  • the transformation of RA to FM during the early stage of deformation can lead to low HEC values.
  • LF has a higher oversaturation with carbon and a smaller grain size than HF. Therefore, LF has a higher hardness, which is beneficial to obtain high HEC property.
  • the presence of LF instead of HF results in a smaller hardness difference between the F and matrix (BF and PM).
  • HF should be at most 5%, preferably at most 1%, even more preferably at most 0.2% and most preferably be avoided altogether and be absent (0%).
  • Bainite contains ferritic plates intertwined with finely dispersed carbides, which is supersaturated with carbon and has a high density of dislocations.
  • the martensite is obtained when the steel is quenched below Ms.
  • FM is very strong, it is normally brittle as a highly supersaturated solid solution of carbon in a-iron.
  • the mechanical properties are typically further adjusted by heat treatment called tempering in an elevated temperature.
  • carbon is rejected from the supersaturated solid solution and forms finely divided carbide phases within the martensite.
  • Conventional tempered martensite therefore contains a fine dispersion of carbides in an a-iron matrix which decrease the overall elongation and formability properties of the steel.
  • the BF and/or PM formed during austempering treatment are different from the conventional bainite and martensite.
  • bainite and/or martensite first form.
  • the carbon is rejected from the supersaturated solid solution but the formation of carbides is suppressed or retarded, due to the presence of 0.5% or more of the sum of Si and Al in the composition and due to time control during further heat treatment.
  • the carbon partitions from bainite or martensite to austenite which leads to carbon enriched retained austenite with higher stability.
  • the resultant bainite or martensite is carbide free and is referred to as BF or PM.
  • the optical microstructure of BF and PM is similar as both have a plate-like microstructure with an ultrafine grain size (typically about 5 pm long and about 200 nm thick) although the PM has a finer size of substructure as the formation temperature is lower.
  • the definitions of the critical phase transition temperatures such as Acl and Ac3 during heating and Ar3 and Arl during cooling are well known to a person skilled in the art and are dependent on the alloy composition.
  • Bs is defined as the temperature at which, during cooling, transformation of the austenite into bainite starts.
  • Bn is defined as the nose temperature of the bainitic transformation in the time-temperature transformation (TTT) curve of a steel, at which transformation of the austenite into bainite has the fastest kinetics.
  • Ms is defined as the temperature at which, during cooling, transformation of the austenite into martensite starts. All these temperatures can be accurately determined by dilatometer experiments combined with hardness measurements and microstructure evaluation.
  • Ac3 is a function of the heating rate and Ac3 in this invention was measured at a heating rate of 2 °C/s.
  • Ac3, Ar3, Bs, Ms and Bn points can be calculated beforehand, using the following empirical formulae, and assuming a heating rate of 2 °C/s:
  • Ar 3 914-650[C]-134[Mn]-15[Cr]-20[Cu] + 179[Si]+ 150[AI]-6.85CR (2)
  • [M] denotes the content (wt. %) of the chemical element M.
  • CR is the cooling rate.
  • the calculated critical transformation points are given in °C.
  • BF + PM 60 - 90%
  • the matrix of BF or a mixture of PM and BF ensures a good balance in the strength and ductility of the steel. It is difficult to achieve a TS of 800 MPa or more and a hole expansion ratio of 40% or more when the amount of BF and PM is less than 60%. On the other hand, when the amount is greater than 90%, the amount of the ferrite and retained austenite is not enough and the elongation of the steel is remarkably reduced. Therefore, the fraction of (BF + PM) is 60% to 90%, and preferably at least 65%.
  • the ferrite fraction is the sum of HF and LF.
  • the presence of HF increases the total elongation but decreases strength and formability.
  • the presence of F can accelerate the bainitic transformation during austempering and helps to increase the stability of the retained austenite.
  • LF has a higher hardness, which is beneficial to obtain good HEC values. Therefore, a controlled amount of LF is allowable and HF should most preferably be avoided. It is difficult to achieve both a TS of 800 MPa or more and a hole expansion ratio of 40% or more when the area fraction of F is greater than 35%. Therefore, the area fraction of F is 0% to 35%.
  • F is at most 32% and more preferably F is at most 30%.
  • F is preferably at least 4% and more preferably at least 6%.
  • the volume percentage of FM is 0 to 5%, preferably limited to at most 3%.
  • RA 3 - 10% RA is useful for increasing El by producing the TRIP effect.
  • the volume fraction of retained austenite needs to be 3% or more to achieve such an effect.
  • RA is 3 to 10%, preferably at least 5% and/or preferably at most 8%.
  • the carbon content in the RA is 0.9% or more. This carbon content greatly affects the TRIP-effect, and controlling it to 0.9% or more is particularly effective for improving elongation while not damaging the stretch flangeability. It is preferably at least 1.0%, more preferably at least 1.2%. The higher the carbon content of the RA is, the more preferable it is. However, in practice, the upper limit of the carbon content in the RA that can be reliably achieved is 1.6%.
  • Carbides may be present in pearlite or as cementite or as other metal alloying carbides (exists at grain boundaries or at finely dispersed inside lath-structured ferrite) when the cooling rate is not high enough or when the overageing temperature is too high and/or the overageing time is too long.
  • the formation of carbides reduces the amount of the retained austenite and the carbon content in the retained austenite, which deteriorate both the strength and ductility.
  • the amount of carbides is 3% or less, preferably carbide free. In the case where the amount of carbides is more than 3%, there is a decrease in formability. Therefore, the amount of the carbides should preferably be limited to be less than 3.0%, more preferably less than 1.0%, most preferably 0%.
  • FM+RA+carbides The sum of these phases is referred to as the second phase and is controlled to be 15% or less. More preferably less than 10%.
  • the volume fraction of each of the metallographic structures, F, BF+PM, and FM can be determined using an optical microscope and scanning electron microscopy.
  • the volume fractions of RA and carbides are determined using an X-ray diffractometer (XRD). The details of the microstructural characterization are described in the experimental section.
  • Carbon (C) is a necessary element for strength and ductility by forming the required microstructure.
  • the content of C is less than 0.050%, it is difficult to secure 60% or more BF and/or PM in the microstructures.
  • the carbon content is greater than 0.180%, too much fresh martensite or retained austenite can form in the most of available production lines due to the limited overageing time. It is not possible to achieve a desired hole expansion capacity. Therefore, the carbon content is 0.050% to 0.180% and preferably 0.070% to 0.160%.
  • the carbon content is at most 0.140% and more preferably at most 0.130%, even more preferably at most 0.120% and most preferably at most 0.110% or even 0.100%
  • Si 0.40 - 1.80
  • Al 0.010 -1.00
  • Si+AI 0.50 - 2.00%
  • Silicon (Si) is an element which is effective in increasing the strength of the steel by solute strengthening and effective in preventing carbon from precipitating in the form of iron carbides and increasing the stability of residual austenite.
  • Si has a function of improving the ductility, work hardenability and stretch flangeability through the retardation of austenite grain growth during annealing. At least 0.40% Si is needed to achieve such effects.
  • the Si content is higher than 1.80%, surface quality of the steel sheet and the weldability of the steel are deteriorated. Accordingly, the Si content is 0.40 to 1.80%, preferably 0.50 to 1.50%, more preferably 0.90 to 1.35%.
  • Al aluminium
  • Al can partially replace Si as Al has a similar function as Si to prevent the formation of carbides and to stabilize the retained austenite and therefore is effective in improving strength and ductility balance.
  • 0.010% or more of Al is needed. If the content of Al is too high, the ferrite to austenite transformation temperature Ac3 is increased to a level that is incompatible with conventional installations and will therefore not provide a microstructure according to the invention.
  • the risk of cracking during casting and rolling increases as the Al content is increased. Therefore, the Al content is 0.010 to 1.00%, preferably 0.020 to 0.70%. When both Si and Al are added, the total amount of Si + Al is 0.50 to
  • the aluminium content is preferably between 0.020 and 0.090%, more preferably between 0.020 and 0.050%.
  • Mn 1.50% - 3.50%
  • Manganese (Mn) is an element which is indispensable for obtaining hardenability of the steel to achieve a desired strength. Mn is also added to balance the elevated phase transformation point as a result of high amounts of Si and Al. In order to produce such effects, the Mn content needs to be 1.50% or more. However, when the Mn content is greater than 3.50%, the elongation significantly deteriorates and formability is reduced due to the formation of macro-segregation and band microstructure. Therefore, the Mn content is 1.50% to 3.50% and preferably 1.80% to 3.00%.
  • Phosphorus (P) is an impurity in the steel. Since P is also effective for increasing the strength of steel and for increasing the stability of the RA. In order to produce such an effect, it is preferable that the P content be 0.002% or more. On the other hand, in the case where the P content is more than 0.050%, the steel is embrittled due to grain boundary segregation and, therefore, deteriorates stretch flangeability. Therefore, the P content is 0.002% to 0.050%. If excellent weldability is required, it is preferable that the P content be 0.020% or less, more preferably 0.015% or less, even more preferably 0.012% or less.
  • S Sulphur
  • MnS deteriorates formability and/or weldability.
  • the content thereof is preferably minimized.
  • the manufacturing cost increases significantly if the S content is supressed below 0.001%.
  • the content of S is preferably 0.010% or less for an optimal balance of the properties and the manufacturing cost.
  • N Nitrogen
  • N is inevitably present in the steel making process.
  • N can be present in three nitrogen-related phenomena i.e. formation of blowholes, precipitation of one or more (carbo-)nitride compounds with elements such as Ti, Nb, Al and B and the interstitial solid element in solution.
  • N in solid solution can markedly increases hardness and yield strength and decreases the tensile elongation.
  • N deteriorates the toughness and formability of steel when an excess amount of 0.010% is added due to the formation of coarse nitride compounds or blowholes.
  • nitrogen content in steel is to be 0.010% or less, preferably 0.0060% or less.
  • the practical lower limit of nitrogen content is around 0.0005% because decreasing nitrogen content in steel further significantly increases production costs.
  • a suitable and practical N content is between 0.0010 to 0.0050%.
  • One or more of the following elements can be optionally added.
  • Cr 0.30% or less, Ni: 0.50% or less, Cu: 0.50% or less, Mo: 0.20% or less
  • These elements are useful as strengthening elements for steel, and are also elements effective for stabilizing RA and ensuring a predetermined amount. In order for any of these elements to effectively individually exert such an effect the following amounts must at least be added Cr: 0.05% or more, Ni: 0.05% or more, Cu: 0.05% or more and Mo: 0.05%. When the content of the each of these elements is below the low limit, it is considered to be an impurity in the BOS-process.
  • At least one of these elements is an element that has effects of strengthening precipitation and refining the structure, and is useful for increasing strength.
  • Ti 0.005% or more
  • Nb 0.005% or more
  • V 0.01% or more
  • the content of the each of these elements is below the lower limit, it is considered to be an impurity in the BOS-process.
  • one, more or all of Ti, Nb and V are at most at impurity level Ca: 30 ppm or less and / or REM: 30 ppm or less
  • Ca and REM are elements that control the form of sulphide in steel and are effective for improving workability.
  • examples of the rare earth element used in the present invention include Sc, Y, and lanthanides.
  • it is recommended to add 3 ppm or more, respectively. However, even if it is added in excess of 30 ppm, the above effect is saturated, which is economically useless. It is more preferably at most 25 ppm. The same applies to the amount of Sc, Y, and lanthanides to be added if required.
  • B Boron (B) is nevertheless a useful element in suppressing formation and growth of polygonal ferrite from austenite grain boundaries and therefore increases the hardenability of the steel. It helps to obtain a sufficient amount of BF and/or PM. To achieve such an effect at least 0.0003% B should be added. When B exceeds 0.0050%, the formability of the steel is deteriorated. Therefore, B, when added, is set to be in the range of 0.0003 to 0.0050%, preferably 0.0005 to 0.0020%, more preferably 0.0005 to 0.0015%. For B to be able to perform this role effectively, it is essential that free nitrogen is as low as possible so that the formation of BN is minimized. A suitable amount of Ti or Al should be added to scavenge nitrogen and to maximize the effect of B. According to a second aspect the invention is also embodied in a process according to the independent method claim 9.
  • a steel slab is prepared to have the preferred component composition described above based on a melt from the BOS-process.
  • the slab is preferably manufactured by a continuous casting process for the purpose of preventing macro-segregation. These processes are not particularly restricted and may be carried out according to conventional methods. Thin slab casting, strip casting or the like can also be applied which, for the purpose of this invention, will also be considered a slab. In the case of strip casting it is acceptable for the manufacturing method to skip at least a part of the hot rolling process.
  • the slab is subjected to hot-rolling and then cold-rolling to obtain a cold-rolled steel strip.
  • Preferable manufacturing conditions of a cold rolled steel strip include: (re)heating the slab to a temperature in the range of 1100 °C to 1300 °C; hot-rolling the slab to a hot-rolled strip wherein the finishing rolling temperature is at temperature equal to or higher than the Ar3 transformation point and preferably between 800 and 1050 °C; cooling at an average cooling rate of 20 °C/s or more (preferably 30 °C/s or more) to a temperature below 650 °C and coiling the hot-rolled strip at a temperature in the range of from 200 to 550 °C.
  • the coiled hot-rolled strip is descaled by pickling or the like prior to cold-rolling.
  • the resulting steel sheet is preferably cold-rolled at a total cold rolling reduction of between 30 and 80%. If the rolling reduction of cold rolling is less than 30% then the recrystallization during annealing is incomplete so that a non-recrystallized ferrite phase is retained in a microstructure after the continuous annealing process, which may result in a decrease in formability.
  • the rolling reduction of cold rolling is 80% or less.
  • the cold-rolled steel strip can be prepared in the form of a strip, sheet or blank for the ensuing heat treatment process.
  • the cold rolled steel thus obtained is subjected to a thermo-mechanical treatment in the form of a hot press forming operation.
  • the heat treatment includes an austenitizing process, a fast cooling process, an austempering or overaging process and a final cooling process.
  • the heat treatment process is described with reference to the Fig. 1.
  • the cold rolled steel sheet is first heated to a temperature T1 in the range of 680-
  • the heating rate is not limiting, but to limit the length of this heating stage the heating rate is preferably at a rate of 10-25 °C/s, and then to the temperature T2, at a slow heating rate V2 of 0.5-10 °C/s, preferably at a heating rate V2 of 1-5 °C/s.
  • the phase transformation of ferrite to austenite and recrystallization of ferrite occur concurrently. If V2 is too low, the resulting austenite grains may become too large, which may deteriorate the formability. if V2 is too high, recrystallization of ferrite is slow and results in a banded-like structure with small austenite grains and large austenite grains, and therefore promotes the formation of ferrite during cooling.
  • the cold rolled steel is annealed at temperature T2 in the austenite single-phase region for a time t2 to obtain a fully austenitic microstructure.
  • T2 should be in a range of Ac3-30 °C to Ac3+50 °C, preferably Ac3-20 to Ac3+30 °C. It should be noted that Ac3 is usually tested during heating and is higher than Ae3. Therefore when isothermally holding a steel at Ac3-30 °C for a certain time, it is fully austenitized.
  • the soaking time t2 is in a range from 1 to 300 seconds, preferably 5 to 200 seconds.
  • Annealing at a temperature in the austenite single-phase region is necessary to avoid the formation of polygonal ferrite, which leads to a lower flange formability due to a lower hardness. If T2 is higher than Ac3+50 °C or t2 is longer than 300 seconds, austenite grains will grow, which influences the size and distribution of the retained austenite and also slow down the bainitic transformation kinetics later in the partitioning process. An excess amount of fresh martensite may form during final cooling as a result of this incomplete bainitic transformation, which leads to a higher strength but a low ductility and formability.
  • the annealing temperature needs to be equal to or higher than Ac3-30 °C, but should not exceed Ac3+50 °C.
  • the annealing time t2 is 1 second to 300 seconds, preferably 5 to 200 seconds.
  • MIS metastable intermediate structure
  • C-lean parts and the C-rich parts acts as a central connection among austenite, ferrite and cementite.
  • the MIS is not a stable bulk phase, but acts as precursors of new phases.
  • the formation of the MIS in the austenite phase will facilitate the formation of ferrite in the fast cooling stage and accelerate the bainitic transformation kinetics during austempering.
  • the temperature distribution in the steel sheet becomes more uniform, reducing the variation in the microstructure during fast cooling.
  • the slow cooling has a significant effect of the microstructure although there is no ferrite formed.
  • the T3 temperature should be higher than Ar3 to prevent the formation of high temperature ferrite during the slow cooling step.
  • the upper limited of T3 is set to be T2-40 °C.
  • T3 is preferably in the range of 680 to 850 °C, preferably 700 to 820 °C.
  • the V3 does not have a significant effect on the microstructure and properties as long as T3 is above Ar3, preferably V3 is in the range of 0.5-15 °C/s, more preferably 1- 5 °C/s.
  • the steel sheet is then cooled to a temperature T4 ranging from Ms-200 °C to Bn, preferably from Ms-150 °C to Bn-20 °C at an average cooling rate of at least by Vc (°C/s), which is given by equation (6).
  • Vc °C/s
  • the upper limit of the cooling rate V4 is not particularly restricted unless variation in temperature occurs in the steel sheet when the cooling is stopped.
  • the upper limit of the average cooling rate is preferably 200° C/s or less because the shape of the steel sheet is distorted or it is difficult to control the ultimate cooling temperature, T4.
  • V c exp (7.1 - 9.18C - 1.22 Mn - l.OCr + 0.32Si + 1.124/) (6)
  • the temperature T4 should be in between Bn and Ms-200 °C, typically at Bn-20 °C and Ms-150 °C to initiate the formation of BF and/or martensite. If T4 is between Bn and Ms, BF is formed and if T4 is in between Ms and Ms-200 °C, some martensite is first formed. The formation of PM accelerates the bainitic transformation in the following step. Therefore, the amount of PM and BF in the final microstructure can be adjusted by changing T4. In general, the lower the T4 is, the more partitioned martensite but less bainitic ferrite forms.
  • T4 is below Ms-200 °C, the amount of untransformed austenite will be too low, thereby minimizing the TRIP effect and associated ductility of the obtained product.
  • the temperature T4 should at most be Bn, preferably Bn-20 °C. Above Bn high temperature BF is obtained, which leads to lower strength due to the large BF grain size.
  • the steel sheet is then heated within a time t4 to a temperature T5 ranging from Ms-50 °C to Bs temperature, preferably from Ms to Bn and overaged at T5 for a period t5 ranging from 15 seconds to 150 seconds for partition process.
  • the time t4 should preferably be controlled within 1 to 10s, preferably within 1 to 5s.
  • the time t4 is not critical for the microstructural properties, limitation of the typical available production lines requires a short time at t4 such that sufficient time is left for the partition step to complete bainitic transformation and to stabilize the retained austenite.
  • C partitioning occurs between the BF or martensite and untransformed austenite.
  • the martensite transforms to partitioned martensite and the untransformed austenite continues to transform into carbide-free bainitic ferrite.
  • the average carbon content in the retained austenite is increased as the time t5 is increased, so that retained austenite is made stable.
  • T5 exceeds Bs, carbides may precipitate in the remaining austenite and the desired microstructure of steel cannot be obtained.
  • the T5 is below Bn temperature to obtain low temperature bainitic ferrite and or PM.
  • T5 is below Ms-50 °C, the degree of C partitioning is insufficient and the carbon concentration in retained austenite is not high enough to stabilize it in a limited time, which is a known constrain in typical available production lines. Accordingly, the T5 temperature should be above Ms-50 °C, preferably above Ms.
  • the partition time t5 at T5 has to be long enough to allow the non-transformed austenite into bainitic ferrite and to allow C enrichment in the retained austenite but short enough to avoid the formation of carbides.
  • t5 When t5 is less than 15s, the partitioning of martensite is insufficient, the desired microstructure may not be obtained, and thus good formability of the steel sheet may not be sufficiently ensured.
  • t5 When t5 is longer than 150 seconds, carbides tend to precipitate in non-transformed austenite, which decreases the carbon content in the retained austenite. Accordingly, t5 is 15 to 150s, preferably 30 s to 100s. A shorter t5 is applied for a higher T5. It is not necessary that the holding temperature T5 be constant as long as the temperatures are within the ranges described. Actually, T5 might gradually increase due to the latent heat produced by bainitic transformation.
  • the steel is then cooled down to below 300 °C at a cooling rate V7 of at least 1 °C/s, preferably at least 5 °C/s, after which it is further cooled down to ambient temperature at V8, by either forced cooling or uncontrolled natural cooling.
  • a suitable cooling rate V8 for an annealing production line is 5-30 °C/s.
  • the steel product may further be subjected to a coating process as well known to a person skilled in the art, for example hot dip galvanizing, galvannealing or electrodeposition. The coating may be applied after cooling to ambient temperature or in between the process steps as described above.
  • T6 should be in the range from Bn to Bs, preferably in the range of 450 °C to 500 °C.
  • the time t6 is preferably in the range of 1 to 30s.
  • the total time t5+t6 should be in the range of 15 to 150s, preferably in the range of 30 to 100s to limit the precipitation of carbides in non-transformed austenite and obtain the microstructure according to the invention.
  • the heat treatment process as described above is incorporated in a hot forming press to form parts directly.
  • blanks suitable for producing parts are prepared from cold rolled sheet of the invented compositions.
  • a blank is first heated in an electric furnace at T2 for t2. After austenization, the blank is removed from the furnace and placed on the bottom die. In this transfer phase, the blank temperature decreases from T2 slowly to T3 due to heat losses to the environment.
  • the hot press forming is then applied to form a part. During hot press forming, the blank temperature decreases at a rate V4 between 60 and 250 °C/s to T4, which can be controlled by initial die temperature. Finally, the formed part is moved to a furnace with a predetermined temperature T5 and holding for t5 and the cooling to ambient temperature in air. Zn coating can be applied by a separate process.
