Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、建材、家電製品、自動車などに適する、穴拡げ性に優れた溶融亜鉛めっきおよび溶融合金化亜鉛めっき高強度鋼板とその製造方法に関する。本発明における亜鉛めっきとは、通常の溶融亜鉛めっきのみならず、合金化溶融亜鉛めっきも含む。めっき層には、純亜鉛の他、Fe、Al、Mg、Cr、などを含有しても構わない。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、特に自動車車体において燃費向上や耐久性向上の観点を目的とした加工性の良い高強度鋼板の需要が高まっている。加えて、衝突安全性やキャビンスペースの拡大のニーズから引張り強度にして780MPa級クラス以上の鋼板が、一部レインフォースなどの部材に使用されつつある。
【0003】
このような高強度材を用いて部材を組みあげる時には、延性、曲げ性、穴拡げ性などの諸特性が重要となるが、引張り強度で590MPa程度までの高強度鋼板においてはこれらに対する対策が講じられている。
【0004】
たとえば、穴拡げ性については、非特許文献1に開示されているように、主相をベイナイトとして穴拡げ性を向上させ、さらには張り出し成形性についても、第2相に残留オーステナイトを生成させることで現行の残留オーステナイト鋼並の張り出し性を示すことが提案されている。さらには、Ms温度以下でオーステンパ処理をすることで体積率2〜3%の残留オーステナイトを生成させると、引張り強度×穴拡げ率が最大となることも示されている。しかし、ここに開示されている技術は、590MPa程度の鋼板におけるものであり、900MPaを超えたものについては単純に成り立たない。
【0005】
また、高強度材の高延性化を図るために、複合組織を積極的に活用することが一般的である。しかし、第2相にマルテンサイトや残留オーステナイトを活用した場合に、穴拡げ性が著しく低下してしまうという問題がある(例えば、非特許文献2)。また、本文献中には、主相をフェライト、第2相をマルテンサイトととし、両者の硬度差を減少させることで穴拡げ率が向上することが開示されているが、穴拡げ率で70%未満と、著しく改善されているわけではない。
【0006】
また、引っ張り強度900MPa以上の強度で、溶融亜鉛メッキを施したものとして、いくつかの開示例がある。これらを、以下にあげる。
【0007】
(1) 特許文献1及び、特許文献2においては、高い強度を得られる技術が開示されているが、複合組織が主体であるために、相間の硬度差が出てしまい、穴拡げ率が30%以下と低くなっている。
【0008】
(2) 特許文献3においては、C濃度を0.1〜0.2%、Mn濃度を2〜3%とすることで、オーステナイト相を安定化させ、めっきラインで熱処理後、480℃〜560℃で低温保持することでオーステナイト相を残すことによって強度と加工性を得る方法が開示されている。しかしながら、残留オーステナイト相があるため、不均一な複合組織になりやすく、穴拡げ率は向上しない。
【0009】
(3) 特許文献4においては、C:0.05%、Si:0.55%、Mn:1.59%に、Mo,Ti,Cr,Nb,B、V等を微量に添加し、93%の穴拡げ率を得ているが,Mnが低いため、熱処理時の加熱温度が低い場合や、熱処理後の冷却速度が低い場合等に不均一複合組織になってしまい、安定的に高い穴拡げ性を得ることが困難である。
【0010】
(4) 特許文献5においては、C:0.16%、Mn:2.3%、Ti:0.01%にNb,Bを微量に添加した例が開示されており、強度が1180MPa程度を得ているが、複合組織を基本としたものであるため、相間の硬度差のためにその穴拡げ率は、40%以下にとどまっている。
【0011】
従って、引っ張り強度において900MPa以上の強度を持ち、穴拡げ率において45%以上の値を持つ、穴拡げ性に優れた溶融亜鉛メッキ鋼板は、存在しない。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前述のような問題の原因の一つに、連続溶融亜鉛めっき工程における冷却能力が挙げられる。即ち、同工程においては、一般に鋼板が最高温度に到達した後、0.1℃/秒〜20℃/秒という、比較的低い冷却速度が採用されているため、組織が不均一になりやすい。その結果穴拡げ性が劣化することになる。さらに、合金化溶融亜鉛めっきを施したような鋼板においては、溶融亜鉛めっき槽に鋼板を浸漬した後に連続的に熱処理を施し、合金化させ、その後連続的に巻き取ることとなるが、この合金化のための熱処理過程において、それまでに造りこまれた鋼板中の組織において、鉄中に過飽和に固溶した炭素が鉄炭化物として析出し、鋼板中に微細に析出させた炭化鉄が粗大化するなどの現象が起こり、組織が変質してしまう。それに伴い、穴拡げ性が著しく劣化してしまうのである。
【0014】
本発明は、このような従来技術の問題点を解決し、引張り強度が900MPa以上で優れた穴拡げ性を有する溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板および合金化溶融亜鉛めっき高強度鋼板、並びにそれらの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0015】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、種々検討を行った結果、化学成分を限定することで、引張り強度が900MPa以上で優れた穴拡げ性を有する溶融亜鉛めっき鋼板を得ることができることを発見した。本発明による高強度鋼板は、〔(穴拡げ試験後の穴の内径/穴拡げ試験前の穴径)−1〕×100で定義される穴拡げ率が45%以上を有し、耐食性に優れることはもちろん、溶接熱影響部の軟化を抑制して溶接部の疲労耐久性にも優れる。

【0025】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明を詳細に説明する。
【0026】
先ず、本発明における鋼板成分の好適な範囲の限定理由について述べる。
【0027】
C:0.03〜0.12%
良好な強度−穴拡げ性バランスを確保するための主相および第2相の分率を制御する目的で添加する元素である。素地の微細均一化についても影響を与える。強度および各第2相の面積率を確保するために0.03質量%(以下、同じ)以上を必要とする。0.12%を越えると、穴拡げ性が低下するのでこれを上限とする。更に、溶接部の強度が劣化しやすくなる。
0.04〜0.10%がより好ましい範囲である。
【0028】
Si:0.001〜0.8%
Siは、強度延性バランスを劣化させる比較的粗大な炭化物の生成を抑制する目的で添加する元素であるがめっき性を著しく劣化させるので上限を0.8%とする。また、過剰添加は溶接性に悪影響を及ぼす。表面性状の観点から0.6%を上限とするのが好ましい。一方で、極低Si化は製造コストの高騰を招くことから、めっき性を大きくは悪化させない0.001%以上の添加とすることが望ましい。
【0029】
Mn:2.53〜3.12%
Mnは、本発明にとって重要である。即ち、前述した溶融亜鉛めっきラインにおける比較的遅い冷却速度に対してMnを所定の範囲に限定することが穴拡げ性の観点で極めて重要であることを見出した。フェライト変態を抑制して、面積率最大の相である主相をベイナイトまたはベイニティックフェライトとすることで均一組織を得る。さらに、強度低下と穴拡げ性劣化の1つの原因である炭化物析出や、パーライト生成を抑制するため2.3質量%以上とする。好ましくは、2.5%超を下限とする。一方、過剰添加は、マルテンサイト生成を促進したり、偏析などによって延性や穴拡げ性の著しい低下を招くために3.3質量%を上限とした。なお、Mn量の上限は、本発明の実施例の表1の鋼種BのMn量に基づいて3.12%以下とした。また、Mn量の下限は、本発明の実施例の表1の鋼種SおよびWのMn量に基づいて2.53%とした。
【0030】
P:0.001〜0.1%
Pは、強化元素である。また、低P化は穴拡げ性を向上させるが、極低化は経済的にも不利であることから0.001質量%を下限とした。また、多量添加は、溶接性や鋳造時や熱延時の製造性、さらには穴拡げ性にも悪影響を及ぼすため、0.1%を上限とした。
【0031】
S:0.0001〜0.01%
Sは、低S化は穴拡げ性向上に有効である。一方、極低S化は経済的に不利であることから、0.0001質量%を下限とし、また、0.01質量%を上限としたのは、これを超える量の添加では、鋼板の穴拡げ性に悪影響を及ぼすためである。より好ましくは、0.003%を上限とする。
【0032】
Al:0.001〜0.2%
Alは、脱酸元素として有効である。このため、0.001質量%を下限とした。一方過剰添加は穴拡げ性、溶接性およびめっき濡れ性を損なうため0.2%を上限とした。好ましくは、0.005〜0.08%の範囲である。
【0033】
Mo:0.11〜1%
Ti:0.005〜0.3%
Mo、Tiは、本発明にとって極めて重要である。即ち、MoとTiを複合添加し、かつMn量を上述のように2.3%以上とすることで初めて良好な穴拡げ性が得られる。Moの添加量は、0.11%以上にてその効果が得られる。しかしながら、1%を越えるとコストの上昇が問題となるため、上限は、1.0%とする。Moは、その他に、焼入れ性を向上させ、かつ、溶接時の熱影響部において軟化を防止する効果も有する。
【0034】
Tiも上述の観点からその下限を0.005質量%とする。また、過剰添加は、延性と穴拡げ性の劣化を招くことから、上限を0.3%とする。Tiは、基本的に強度−穴拡げ性バランスを劣化させる炭化物やパーライトの生成を抑制する。また、フェライト変態を抑制して、主相をベイナイトまたはベイニティックフェライトにするのに有効であり、良好な強度−穴拡げ性およびめっき材の溶接性や溶接後の疲労耐久性の極めて良好なバランスを得るために有効である。しかし、Tiだけを添加してもその効果は、本発明の目的に対して充分ではなく、上記の通り、MnとMoと同時に添加することが必須である。より好ましくは、Mo:0.20以上、Ti:0.015以上とする。MoとTiの複合添加の効果をより助長するために、Mo(質量%)+10×Ti(質量%)≧0.3%とすることが望ましい。
【0035】
さらに、本発明が対象とする鋼は、強度−穴拡げ性バランスに悪影響を与えずにめっき性を向上させることを目的として、Cu,Niを添加することができる。
【0036】
Niは、めっき性向上以外には焼き入れ性の向上の目的もあり、0.01質量%以上とし、2質量%を超えると、加工性、特にマルテンサイト生成に伴う硬度上昇に寄与して悪影響を及ぼすため、これを上限とした。
【0037】
Cuは、めっき性向上以外には強度の向上の目的もあり、0.001質量%以上の添加とし、2質量%を超えると、加工性および製造性に悪影響を及ぼす。
【0038】
特にSi量が、0.3%以上添加されている場合には、Niを0.2%以上、Cuを0.1%以上とすることがめっき性と合金化反応性の観点から望ましい。
【0039】
さらに、本発明が対象とする鋼は、強度−穴拡げ性バランスのさらなる向上を目的として、Nb,Bを添加することができる。
【0040】
Nbは、微細な炭化物、窒化物または炭窒化物を形成して、鋼板の強化に極めて有効である。また、フェライト変態を遅滞させ、ベイナイトおよびベイニティックフェライトの生成を助長する。さらには、溶接熱影響部の軟化抑制にも効果的であることから、0.003質量%以上の添加とし。一方で、過剰添加は、延性や熱間加工性を劣化させることから、上限として0.3質量%とした。
【0041】
Bは、0.0001質量%以上の添加で粒界の強化や鋼材の高強度化に有効であるが、その添加量が0.01質量%を超えるとその効果が飽和するばかりでなく、Nbと同様に熱間加工性が低下するため、上限を0.01質量%とした。
【0042】
さらには、Cr、Co、Wの1種または2種以上を含有できる。
【0043】
Crは、強化および炭化物生成の抑制とベイナイトおよびベイニティックフェライト生成の目的から添加する元素で、0.01%以上とし、2%を超える量の添加では、加工性やめっき性に悪影響を及ぼすため、これを上限とした。
【0044】
Coは、ベイナイト変態制御による強度−穴拡げ性の良好なバランスのため、0.01質量%以上の添加とした。一方、添加の上限は特に設けないが、高価な元素であるため多量添加は経済性を損なうため、1質量%以下にすることが望ましい。
【0045】
Wは、0.01質量%以上で強化効果が現れ、0.3質量%を上限としたのは、これを超えると、加工性に悪影響を及ぼすためである。
【0046】
さらに、本発明が対象とする鋼は、強度と穴拡げ性とのバランスのさらなる向上を目的として強炭化物形成元素であるZr、Hf、Ta、Vの1種または2種以上を合計で0.001質量%以上添加としてもよい。一方で、延性や熱間加工性の劣化を招くことから、1種または2種以上の合計添加量の上限として1質量%とした。
【0047】
Ca、Mg、REMは、適量添加により介在物制御、特に微細分散化に寄与することから、1種又は2種以上の合計で0.0001%以上とし、一方で過剰添加は鋳造性や熱間加工性などの製造性および鋼板製品の延性を低下させるため0.5質量%を上限とした。
【0048】
不可避的不純物として、例えばNやSnなどがあるがこれら元素を合計で0.2質量%以下の範囲で含有しても本発明の効果を損なうものではない。
【0049】
次に、基材鋼板の好ましいミクロ組織について述べる。
【0050】
900MPa以上の引張り強度と、優れた穴拡げ性を両立させるためには、主相としてベイナイトまたはベイニティックフェライトが適している。優れた穴拡げ性を得るためには、面積率で80%以上とする。
【0051】
また、ここで言うベイナイトはラス境界に炭化物が生成している上部ベイナイトおよびラス内に微細炭化物が生成している下部ベイナイトの双方を含む。また、ベイニティックフェライトは炭化物のないベイナイトを意味し、例えばアシキュラーフェライトがその1例である。
【0052】
穴拡げ性向上には、炭化物が微細分散している下部ベイナイトもしくは炭化物の無いベイニティックフェライトが主相で、面積率が85%を超えることが望ましい。
【0053】
その他残部組織として、フェライト、オーステナイト、マルテンサイト、上部ベイナイトの各組織の1種または2種以上の合計を、面積率として15%未満含有しても良い。さらには10%未満が好ましい。特に優れた穴拡げ性を得るためにはオーステナイト及びマルテンサイトは、面積率で5%以下、さらには3%以下とすることが好ましい。また、上記の他にミクロ組織の残部組織として、炭化物、窒化物、硫化物、酸化物、更には、これらの複合化合物を合計で面積率2%以下含有する場合も本発明で用いることができ、これらは主相の面積率に含めた。
【0054】
なお、上記ミクロ組織の各相、フェライト(ベイニティックフェライト)、ベイナイト、オーステナイト、マルテンサイト、界面酸化相および残部組織の同定、存在位置の観察および面積率の測定は、ナイタール試薬および特開昭59−219473号公報に開示された試薬により鋼板圧延方向断面または圧延直角方向断面を腐食して500倍〜1000倍の光学顕微鏡観察および1000〜100000倍の電子顕微鏡(走査型および透過型)により定量化が可能である。各20視野以上の観察を行い、ポイントカウント法や画像解析により各組織の面積率を求める事ができる。
【0055】
このような組織を有する穴拡げ性に優れた高強度鋼板およびの製造方法について以下に説明する。
【0056】
熱延後冷延・熱処理して本発明の鋼板を製造する場合には、所定の成分に調整されたスラブを直接もしくは一旦1000℃以下に冷却した後再加熱して熱延を行う。鋳造ままの鋼片をそのまま加熱して熱延することは加熱原単位の減少になり好ましく、また鋼片を1000℃以下まで冷却すると最終製品の延性の観点から好ましい。
【0057】
このときの再加熱温度は1100℃以上1300℃以下とすることが望ましい。再加熱温度が高温になると粗粒化や厚い酸化スケールが形成され、一方、低温加熱では圧延時の変形抵抗が高くなってしまう。
【0058】
また、熱延完了温度は鋼の化学成分によって決まるAr3 変態温度以上で行うのが一般的であるが、Ar3 −100℃程度の温度までであれば最終的な鋼板の特性を劣化させない。また、冷却後の巻取温度は鋼の化学成分によって決まるベイナイト変態開始温度以上とすることで、冷延時の荷重を必要以上に高めることがさけられるが、冷延の全圧下率が小さい場合にはこの限りでなく、鋼のベイナイト変態温度以下で巻き取られても最終的な鋼板の特性を劣化させない。
【0059】
また熱延後は、高圧デスケーリング装置や酸洗することなどで表面スケール削除を行うと製品での表面清浄がよくなり、めっきを施す際に有利である。その後、冷延後熱処理し、溶融亜鉛めっきを施すことで最終製品とする。また、後処理として更に電気めっきを施してもよい。また、冷延の全圧下率は、最終板厚と冷延荷重の関係から設定されるが、30%以上であれば再結晶させるには十分で、最終的な鋼板の特性を劣化させない。
【0060】
冷延後加熱する際に、最高到達温度が鋼の化学成分によって決まる温度Ac3 温度(例えば「鉄鋼材料学」:W.C.Leslie著、幸田成康監訳、丸善P273)未満の場合には、加熱時に得られるオーステナイト量が少ないので、最終的な鋼板中に主にベイナイトまたはベイニティックフェライトを生成させることができない。また、最高到達温度が高温となるほど結晶粒の粗大化や表面酸化が促進されるうえ、製造コストの上昇をまねくために、最高到達温度の上限を1100℃とした。Ac3+100(℃)がより好ましい上限である。この温度域での熱処理時間は鋼板の温度均一化とオーステナイトの確保のために1秒以上が必要である。しかし、10分超では、粒界酸化相生成が促進されるうえ、コストの上昇を招くので1秒〜10分とすることが好ましい。ここで、加熱時の雰囲気が酸素濃度が50ppm以下で露点が−20℃以下とした。酸素濃度が50ppmを超えたり、露点が−20℃を超えると、鋼板のめっき性、特に濡れ性が劣化し、不めっきの原因となる。
【0061】
その後の冷却はオーステナイト相からフェライト相への変態をある程度抑制しつつ、ベイナイトまたはベイニティックフェライトを生成させるのに重要である。この冷却速度を0.1℃/秒未満にすることは、フェライトやパーライトの生成を促進して強度低下を招く懸念があることから、冷却速度の下限を0.1℃/秒とした。一方、冷却速度の上限は高いほうが有利であるが、連続溶融亜鉛めっきライン通板時の緩冷却によっても高い穴拡げ性を確保するのが本発明の目的であるため、あえて上限を20℃/秒とした。本発明鋼板は、10℃/秒以下の領域の冷却速度、即ち、従来の鋼板においては強度、及びその穴拡げ性を安定的に確保しにくい冷却速度条件下でも、その目標とする900MPa以上の強度及び45%以上の穴拡げ性を充分に安定的に確保できるのである。更に、この冷却過程において、0.1℃/秒〜20℃/秒の範囲で単一の冷却速度で目標とする温度まで冷却するのみならず、前記範囲内の冷却速度を複数個組み合わせることにより段階的に冷却速度を変えて目標とする温度まで冷却してもよい。
【0062】
冷却がめっき浴温度−20℃未満まで行われると、めっき浴浸入時の抜熱が大きいことなどの操業上の問題がある。また、冷却停止温度がめっき浴+50℃を超えると、操業上の問題に加え、その後の保持時に炭化物が生成してしまい、強度低下を招くため、これを上限とした。この温度域での停留時間が長時間になると生産性上好ましくないうえ、炭化物が生成してしまうことから1000秒以内とすることが望ましい。また、ベイナイト変態を進行させたり、めっき濡れ性を確保するため1秒以上保持し、好ましくは15秒から10分保持する。
【0063】
また、合金化処理を行う場合には、430℃以上580℃以下とした。合金化処理温度が430℃未満であると合金化の進行が遅く、生産性が悪い。また、580℃を超えると炭化物析出を伴い、材質劣化する。
【0064】
本発明で得られる鋼板の引っ張り強度は、900MPa以上である。好ましくは、980MPa以上である。上限はとくに限定しないが、1600MPa以上とするのは困難であるのでこれを上限とする。穴拡げ性は45%以上で、好ましくは60%以上とする。200%以上とすることは困難なのでこれが実質的な上限である。
【0065】
また、本発明の鋼は、溶接性にも優れている。溶接方法については、通常行われる溶接方法、たとえばアーク、スポット、TIG、MIG、マッシュおよびレーザー等の溶接方法に適合する。
【0066】
【実施例】
本発明になる鋼板について、ミクロ組織観察、鉄鋼連盟規定の穴拡げ試験、JISに準拠した引張り試験を行った。
【0067】
以下、実施例によって本発明をさらに詳細に説明する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a hot-dip galvanized and hot-dip alloyed galvanized high-strength steel sheet excellent in hole expansibility and suitable for building materials, home appliances, automobiles and the like, and a method for producing the same. The galvanizing in the present invention includes not only normal hot dip galvanizing but also alloyed hot dip galvanizing. The plating layer may contain Fe, Al, Mg, Cr, etc. in addition to pure zinc.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for high-strength steel sheets with good workability for the purpose of improving fuel efficiency and durability particularly in automobile bodies. In addition, steel plates with a tensile strength of 780 MPa class or higher are being used for some parts such as the reinforcement due to the need for collision safety and expansion of cabin space.
[0003]
Various properties such as ductility, bendability and hole expansibility are important when assembling members using such high strength materials, but countermeasures against these are taken for high strength steel sheets with a tensile strength of up to about 590 MPa. It has been.
[0004]
For example, with respect to hole expansibility, as disclosed in Non-Patent Document 1, the main phase is bainite to improve hole expansibility, and with respect to the stretch formability, residual austenite is generated in the second phase. It has been proposed to exhibit the same overhangability as the current retained austenitic steel. Furthermore, it is also shown that when retained austenite having a volume ratio of 2 to 3% is generated by austempering at a temperature equal to or lower than the Ms temperature, the tensile strength × the hole expansion ratio is maximized. However, the technique disclosed here is in a steel plate of about 590 MPa, and it is not simply established for a material exceeding 900 MPa.
[0005]
Moreover, in order to increase the ductility of a high-strength material, it is common to actively utilize a composite structure. However, when martensite or retained austenite is used for the second phase, there is a problem that the hole expandability is significantly lowered (for example, Non-Patent Document 2). Further, this document discloses that the hole expansion rate is improved by setting the main phase as ferrite and the second phase as martensite and reducing the hardness difference between the two, but the hole expansion rate is 70. Less than%, it is not a significant improvement.
[0006]
In addition, there are some disclosed examples of hot-dip galvanized steel having a tensile strength of 900 MPa or more. These are listed below.
[0007]
(1) In Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a technique capable of obtaining high strength is disclosed. However, since the composite structure is mainly used, a hardness difference between phases is generated, and a hole expansion ratio is 30. % And lower.
[0008]
(2) In Patent Document 3, the austenite phase is stabilized by adjusting the C concentration to 0.1 to 0.2% and the Mn concentration to 2 to 3%, and after heat treatment in the plating line, 480 ° C to 560 ° C. A method of obtaining strength and workability by leaving an austenite phase by holding at a low temperature at ° C. is disclosed. However, since there is a retained austenite phase, it tends to be a non-uniform composite structure, and the hole expansion rate does not improve.
[0009]
(3) In Patent Document 4, a small amount of Mo, Ti, Cr, Nb, B, V or the like is added to C: 0.05%, Si: 0.55%, Mn: 1.59%, and 93 However, since Mn is low, it becomes a heterogeneous composite structure when the heating temperature during heat treatment is low or when the cooling rate after heat treatment is low. It is difficult to obtain spreadability.
[0010]
(4) Patent Document 5 discloses an example in which a small amount of Nb and B is added to C: 0.16%, Mn: 2.3%, Ti: 0.01%, and the strength is about 1180 MPa. Although it is obtained, it is based on a composite structure, so that the hole expansion rate is only 40% or less due to the hardness difference between the phases.
[0011]
Therefore, there is no hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent hole expansibility and having a tensile strength of 900 MPa or more and a hole expansion ratio of 45% or more.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
One of the causes of the problems as described above is the cooling capacity in the continuous galvanizing process. That is, in this process, since a relatively low cooling rate of 0.1 ° C./second to 20 ° C./second is generally employed after the steel sheet reaches the maximum temperature, the structure tends to be non-uniform. As a result, the hole expandability deteriorates. Furthermore, in a steel sheet that has been subjected to alloying hot dip galvanization, the steel sheet is immersed in a hot dip galvanizing tank and then continuously heat treated, alloyed, and then continuously wound. In the heat treatment process for carbonization, super-saturated carbon in iron is precipitated as iron carbide in the structure of the steel sheet that has been built so far, and the iron carbide finely precipitated in the steel sheet is coarsened. Phenomenon occurs, and the organization is altered. As a result, the hole expandability is significantly deteriorated.
[0014]
The present invention provides a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet and an alloyed hot-dip galvanized high-strength steel sheet having excellent hole expansibility with a tensile strength of 900 MPa or more, and a method for producing them. The purpose is to do.
[0015]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of various studies, the present inventors have found that a hot dip galvanized steel sheet having excellent hole expansibility with a tensile strength of 900 MPa or more can be obtained by limiting chemical components.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.
[0026]
First, the reason for limiting the suitable range of the steel plate component in the present invention will be described.
[0027]
C: 0.03-0.12%
It is an element added for the purpose of controlling the fraction of the main phase and the second phase to ensure a good strength-hole expansibility balance. It will also affect the fine uniformity of the substrate. In order to ensure the strength and the area ratio of each second phase, 0.03% by mass (hereinafter the same) is required. If it exceeds 0.12%, the hole expandability decreases, so this is the upper limit. Furthermore, the strength of the welded portion tends to deteriorate.
0.04 to 0.10% is a more preferable range.
[0028]
Si: 0.001 to 0.8%
Si is an element added for the purpose of suppressing the formation of relatively coarse carbides that deteriorate the strength and ductility balance, but the upper limit is set to 0.8% because it significantly deteriorates the plateability. In addition, excessive addition adversely affects weldability. From the viewpoint of surface properties, the upper limit is preferably 0.6%. On the other hand, since extremely low Si leads to an increase in manufacturing cost, it is desirable to add 0.001% or more that does not greatly deteriorate the plating property.
[0029]
  Mn:2.53 to 3.12%,
  Mn is important for the present invention. That is, it has been found that limiting Mn to a predetermined range with respect to the relatively slow cooling rate in the above-described hot dip galvanizing line is extremely important from the viewpoint of hole expandability. A uniform structure is obtained by suppressing the ferrite transformation and using bainite or bainitic ferrite as the main phase which is the phase with the largest area ratio. Furthermore, it is 2.3% by mass or more in order to suppress carbide precipitation and pearlite generation, which are one cause of strength reduction and hole expandability deterioration. Preferably, the lower limit is over 2.5%. On the other hand, excessive addition promoted the formation of martensite and caused a significant decrease in ductility and hole expansibility due to segregation and the like, so the upper limit was 3.3% by mass.In addition, the upper limit of the amount of Mn was made into 3.12% or less based on the amount of Mn of the steel type B of Table 1 of the Example of this invention. Moreover, the lower limit of the amount of Mn was 2.53% based on the amount of Mn of steel types S and W in Table 1 of the examples of the present invention.
[0030]
P: 0.001 to 0.1%
P is a strengthening element. Lowering P improves hole expansibility, but extremely lowering is also economically disadvantageous, so 0.001% by mass was made the lower limit. Moreover, since addition of a large amount has an adverse effect on weldability, manufacturability during casting or hot rolling, and hole expandability, the upper limit is set to 0.1%.
[0031]
S: 0.0001 to 0.01%
As for S, lowering S is effective for improving hole expansibility. On the other hand, since extremely low S is economically disadvantageous, 0.0001% by mass is set as the lower limit, and 0.01% by mass is set as the upper limit. This is because the spreadability is adversely affected. More preferably, the upper limit is 0.003%.
[0032]
Al: 0.001 to 0.2%
Al is effective as a deoxidizing element. For this reason, 0.001 mass% was made into the minimum. On the other hand, excessive addition impairs hole expansibility, weldability and plating wettability, so 0.2% was made the upper limit. Preferably, it is 0.005 to 0.08% of range.
[0033]
Mo: 0.11-1%
Ti: 0.005-0.3%
Mo and Ti are extremely important for the present invention. That is, good hole expandability can be obtained only when Mo and Ti are added in combination and the amount of Mn is 2.3% or more as described above. The effect is acquired when the addition amount of Mo is 0.11% or more. However, if it exceeds 1%, an increase in cost becomes a problem, so the upper limit is made 1.0%. In addition, Mo has an effect of improving hardenability and preventing softening in the heat-affected zone during welding.
[0034]
Ti also sets the lower limit to 0.005 mass% from the above viewpoint. Moreover, excessive addition causes deterioration of ductility and hole expansibility, so the upper limit is made 0.3%. Ti basically suppresses the formation of carbides and pearlite that deteriorate the strength-hole expansibility balance. In addition, it is effective in suppressing ferrite transformation and making the main phase into bainite or bainitic ferrite. It is effective to get a balance. However, even if only Ti is added, the effect is not sufficient for the purpose of the present invention, and as described above, it is essential to add it simultaneously with Mn and Mo. More preferably, Mo: 0.20 or more and Ti: 0.015 or more. In order to further promote the effect of the combined addition of Mo and Ti, it is desirable that Mo (mass%) + 10 × Ti (mass%) ≧ 0.3%.
[0035]
Further, the steel targeted by the present invention can contain Cu and Ni for the purpose of improving the plating property without adversely affecting the strength-hole expansibility balance.
[0036]
Ni has the purpose of improving the hardenability in addition to improving the plating property. If it exceeds 0.01% by mass and exceeds 2% by mass, it contributes to the workability, particularly the hardness increase associated with the formation of martensite, and has an adverse effect. This is the upper limit.
[0037]
Cu has the purpose of improving the strength in addition to improving the plating property, and when added in an amount of 0.001% by mass or more and exceeding 2% by mass, the workability and manufacturability are adversely affected.
[0038]
In particular, when 0.3% or more of Si is added, it is desirable from the viewpoints of plating properties and alloying reactivity that Ni is 0.2% or more and Cu is 0.1% or more.
[0039]
Furthermore, the steel which this invention makes object can add Nb and B for the purpose of the further improvement of a strength-hole expansibility balance.
[0040]
Nb forms fine carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides and is extremely effective for strengthening steel sheets. It also retards ferrite transformation and promotes the formation of bainite and bainitic ferrite. Furthermore, it is also effective for suppressing softening of the weld heat affected zone, so 0.003 mass% or more is added. On the other hand, excessive addition deteriorates ductility and hot workability, so the upper limit was set to 0.3% by mass.
[0041]
B is effective for strengthening grain boundaries and increasing the strength of steel by addition of 0.0001% by mass or more. However, when the addition amount exceeds 0.01% by mass, the effect is not only saturated, but Nb Since the hot workability deteriorates in the same manner as described above, the upper limit was made 0.01 mass%.
[0042]
Furthermore, one or more of Cr, Co, and W can be contained.
[0043]
Cr is an element added for the purpose of strengthening and suppressing the formation of carbides and the formation of bainite and bainitic ferrite. It is 0.01% or more, and if it exceeds 2%, the workability and plating properties are adversely affected. Therefore, this is the upper limit.
[0044]
Co was added in an amount of 0.01% by mass or more for a good balance between strength and hole expansibility by bainite transformation control. On the other hand, although the upper limit of addition is not particularly provided, since it is an expensive element, addition of a large amount impairs economic efficiency, so it is desirable to make it 1% by mass or less.
[0045]
The strengthening effect appears when W is 0.01% by mass or more, and the reason why the upper limit is 0.3% by mass is that if it exceeds this, workability is adversely affected.
[0046]
Furthermore, the steel targeted by the present invention is a total of one or more of Zr, Hf, Ta, and V, which are strong carbide forming elements, for the purpose of further improving the balance between strength and hole expansibility. 001 mass% or more may be added. On the other hand, since it causes deterioration of ductility and hot workability, the upper limit of the total amount of one kind or two or more kinds is set to 1% by mass.
[0047]
Ca, Mg, and REM contribute to inclusion control, particularly fine dispersion, by adding appropriate amounts, so the total of one or two or more is 0.0001% or more, while excessive addition is castability and hot In order to reduce manufacturability such as workability and the ductility of the steel sheet product, the upper limit was set to 0.5 mass%.
[0048]
Inevitable impurities include, for example, N and Sn. Even if these elements are contained in a total amount of 0.2% by mass or less, the effect of the present invention is not impaired.
[0049]
Next, a preferable microstructure of the base steel sheet will be described.
[0050]
In order to achieve both a tensile strength of 900 MPa or more and excellent hole expandability, bainite or bainitic ferrite is suitable as the main phase. In order to obtain excellent hole expansibility, the area ratio is set to 80% or more.
[0051]
Moreover, the bainite said here contains both the upper bainite in which the carbide | carbonized_material has produced | generated in the lath boundary, and the lower bainite in which the fine carbide | carbonized_material has produced | generated in the lath. Bainitic ferrite means bainite having no carbide, and for example, acicular ferrite is one example.
[0052]
In order to improve hole expansibility, it is desirable that lower bainite in which carbide is finely dispersed or bainitic ferrite without carbide is the main phase and the area ratio exceeds 85%.
[0053]
In addition, as a remaining structure, the total of one or more of ferrite, austenite, martensite, and upper bainite structures may be contained in an area ratio of less than 15%. Furthermore, less than 10% is preferable. In order to obtain particularly excellent hole expansibility, austenite and martensite are preferably 5% or less, more preferably 3% or less in terms of area ratio. In addition to the above, as the remaining microstructure of the microstructure, carbides, nitrides, sulfides, oxides, and even those composite compounds containing a total area ratio of 2% or less can be used in the present invention. These were included in the area ratio of the main phase.
[0054]
In addition, each phase of the above microstructure, ferrite (bainitic ferrite), bainite, austenite, martensite, interfacial oxidation phase and remaining structure, identification of existing positions, and measurement of area ratio are performed using Nital reagent and The steel plate rolling direction cross section or the rolling perpendicular direction cross section is corroded with the reagent disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 59-219473, and quantified by observation with an optical microscope of 500 to 1000 times and an electron microscope (scanning type and transmission type) of 1000 to 100,000 times. Is possible. It is possible to obtain an area ratio of each tissue by observing 20 fields of view or more and using a point counting method or image analysis.
[0055]
A high-strength steel sheet having such a structure and excellent in hole expansibility and a method for producing the same will be described below.
[0056]
When the steel sheet of the present invention is manufactured by cold rolling and heat treatment after hot rolling, the slab adjusted to a predetermined component is directly or once cooled to 1000 ° C. or lower and then reheated for hot rolling. It is preferable to heat and heat-roll the as-cast steel slab as it is to reduce the heating unit, and to cool the steel slab to 1000 ° C. or less is preferable from the viewpoint of ductility of the final product.
[0057]
In this case, the reheating temperature is desirably 1100 ° C. or higher and 1300 ° C. or lower. When the reheating temperature is high, coarse grains and thick oxide scales are formed. On the other hand, low temperature heating increases deformation resistance during rolling.
[0058]
The hot rolling completion temperature is determined by the chemical composition of the steel.Three Generally, it is carried out at the transformation temperature or higher, but ArThree If it is up to about −100 ° C., the properties of the final steel sheet will not be deteriorated. In addition, the coiling temperature after cooling is higher than the bainite transformation start temperature determined by the chemical composition of the steel, so that the load during cold rolling can be increased more than necessary, but when the total rolling reduction of cold rolling is small Is not limited to this, and even if the steel sheet is wound at a temperature lower than the bainite transformation temperature of the steel, the properties of the final steel sheet are not deteriorated.
[0059]
Moreover, after hot rolling, removing the surface scale by using a high-pressure descaling device or pickling improves the surface cleanliness of the product, which is advantageous when plating. Then, it heat-processes after cold rolling, and it is set as a final product by performing hot dip galvanization. Further, electroplating may be further performed as a post-treatment. Further, the total rolling reduction of cold rolling is set based on the relationship between the final plate thickness and the cold rolling load, but if it is 30% or more, it is sufficient for recrystallization and does not deteriorate the properties of the final steel plate.
[0060]
Temperature Ac determined by the chemical composition of steel when heating after cold rollingThree When the temperature is lower than the temperature (for example, “Steel Material Science”: W. C. Leslie, translated by Koyasu Naruyasu, Maruzen P273), the amount of austenite obtained at the time of heating is small. Nitic ferrite cannot be generated. In addition, the higher the maximum temperature reached, the higher the crystal grain coarsening and surface oxidation, and the higher the maximum temperature reached 1100 ° C. in order to increase the manufacturing cost. AcThree+100 (° C.) is a more preferable upper limit. The heat treatment time in this temperature range requires 1 second or more to make the temperature of the steel plate uniform and to secure austenite. However, if it exceeds 10 minutes, formation of a grain boundary oxidation phase is promoted, and the cost is increased. Here, the atmosphere during heating was an oxygen concentration of 50 ppm or less and a dew point of −20 ° C. or less. If the oxygen concentration exceeds 50 ppm or the dew point exceeds −20 ° C., the plateability of the steel sheet, in particular the wettability, deteriorates and causes non-plating.

Subsequent cooling is important for producing bainite or bainitic ferrite while suppressing the transformation from the austenite phase to the ferrite phase to some extent. Setting this cooling rate to less than 0.1 ° C./second may promote the formation of ferrite and pearlite and cause a decrease in strength, so the lower limit of the cooling rate was set to 0.1 ° C./second. On the other hand, it is advantageous that the upper limit of the cooling rate is high, but since the object of the present invention is to ensure high hole expandability even by slow cooling during continuous hot-dip galvanizing line passing, the upper limit is intentionally set to 20 ° C / Seconds. The steel plate of the present invention has a cooling rate in the region of 10 ° C./second or less, that is, the target of 900 MPa or more even under the cooling rate condition in which it is difficult to stably ensure the strength and the hole expandability in the conventional steel plate. The strength and the hole expandability of 45% or more can be secured sufficiently stably. Furthermore, in this cooling process, not only cooling to a target temperature at a single cooling rate in the range of 0.1 ° C./second to 20 ° C./second, but also combining a plurality of cooling rates within the above range. You may cool to target temperature by changing a cooling rate in steps.
[0062]
When cooling is performed to a plating bath temperature of less than -20 ° C, there are operational problems such as a large heat removal at the time of entering the plating bath. Further, if the cooling stop temperature exceeds the plating bath + 50 ° C., in addition to operational problems, carbides are generated during the subsequent holding, leading to a decrease in strength, so this was made the upper limit. If the retention time in this temperature range is long, it is not preferable in terms of productivity, and carbides are generated, so it is desirable that the retention time be within 1000 seconds. Further, the bainite transformation is allowed to proceed, and the plating wettability is maintained for 1 second or longer, preferably 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
[0063]
Moreover, when performing an alloying process, it was set as 430 degreeC or more and 580 degrees C or less. When the alloying treatment temperature is lower than 430 ° C., the progress of alloying is slow and the productivity is poor. Moreover, when it exceeds 580 degreeC, a carbide | carbonized_material precipitation will accompany and material quality will deteriorate.
[0064]
The tensile strength of the steel sheet obtained by the present invention is 900 MPa or more. Preferably, it is 980 MPa or more. Although an upper limit is not specifically limited, since it is difficult to set it as 1600 MPa or more, this is made an upper limit. The hole expandability is 45% or more, preferably 60% or more. Since it is difficult to make it 200% or more, this is a practical upper limit.
[0065]
The steel of the present invention is also excellent in weldability. The welding method is adapted to a welding method that is usually performed, such as arc, spot, TIG, MIG, mash, and laser.
[0066]
【Example】
The steel sheet according to the present invention was subjected to microstructural observation, hole expansion test specified by the Federation of Steels, and tensile test based on JIS.
[0067]
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples.
<Example 1>
After cooling the casting slab having the composition as shown in Table 1 and Table 2 (continued in Table 1) to room temperature, it is heated to 1200 ° C., and ArThree Hot-rolling is completed at 880 ° C. to 910 ° C., which is higher than the transformation temperature, and after cooling, a 2.5 mm thick steel strip wound up at 550 ° C., which is higher than the bainite transformation start temperature determined by the chemical composition of each steel, is pickled. Thereafter, it was cold-rolled to obtain a steel plate having a thickness of 1.2 mm.
[0068]
Then, according to the following formula from the component (mass%) of each steel, AcThree The transformation temperature was determined by calculation.
AcThree = 910-203 × (C%)1/2-15.2 x Ni%
+ 44.7 × Si% + 104 × V% + 31.5 × Mo%
−30 × Mn% −11 × Cr% + 400 × Al%,
AcThree The maximum temperature reached was determined from the transformation temperature. 870 ° C. was selected as the temperature satisfying the conditions for each steel, and the maximum temperature reached for each steel was constant at 870 ° C. The temperature raising and cooling process was performed as follows. That is, the temperature is increased to 10 ° C / s (maximum reached temperature −110) (° C.), that is, here, the temperature is increased to 760 ° C., and then the temperature is increased to the maximum temperature of 870 ° C. After being heated, the temperature is (maximum temperature -20) (° C) at a cooling rate of 0.2 ° C / second, that is, here, cooled to 850 ° C, and further cooled to 650 ° C at 2 ° C / second. Then, the cooling rate was 10 ° C./second and the cooling was performed to 500 ° C., and then the cooling rate was 2 ° C./second and the cooling rate was reduced to 460 ° C. Subsequently, it was immersed in a hot dip galvanizing bath at 460 ° C., then heated to 500 ° C. at a temperature rising rate of 3 ° C./second, held for 30 seconds, subjected to alloying treatment, and then cooled.
[0069]
JIS No. 5 tensile test specimens were collected from these steel plates and measured for mechanical properties. In addition, a hole expansion test was performed in accordance with the Steel Federation standard, and the hole expansion rate was obtained. Table 3 shows the mechanical properties and hole expandability of each steel. It can be seen that the inventive steel that satisfies the outline of the present invention has an excellent balance of hole expansibility (45% or more) strength (tensile strength of 900 MPa or more). In the steel of the present invention, there is no particular problem in the adhesion of the plating and the plating property is good. However, in the steel types AB and AC to which Ni and Cu are added, the finish of the plating appearance may be even better. I understood. That is, it can be seen that the addition of these further improves the adhesion of the plating and the like, and the plating property is improved.
[0070]
Moreover, in steel type Q which is a comparative example, Mo and Ti are not added, and it is understood that other elemental compositions are within the scope of the present invention and inferior in hole expandability. That is, it is an example showing the effect of Mo and Ti in the present invention. Steel types T and U are steels of the present invention, and both strength and hole expandability are good, but the hole expandability is slightly inferior to other invention steels.
[0071]
  In the steel type T and the steel type U, Mo (mass%) + 10 × Ti (mass%) is 0.23 (%) and 0.21 (%), respectively. In the steels according to the present invention other than these two steel types, all the amounts are 0.3 (%) or more, and Mo (mass%) + 10 × Ti (mass%) ≧ 0. It can be seen that 3 (%) is desirable. Steel types J and K areReference exampleAlthough the hole expansion ratio is 76% and 71%, respectively, it shows sufficient hole expansion performance.,BookSlightly inferior to the inventive steel. This is because in steel types J and K, Nb and B are not added, so that the structure is likely to be uneven in the cooling process. this is, NIt shows that it is preferable to add b and B within the composition range of the present invention.
[0072]
Moreover, all the comparative steels that deviate from the conditions of the present invention are inferior in hole expansibility.

<Reference example>
  Among the steels shown in Tables 1 and 2 (continued in Table 1), the heat treatment conditions after cold rolling were changed for steel types A and R. That is, in the heat treatment conditions in Example 1, the maximum temperature reached and the cooling rate from (maximum temperature -20) (° C.) to 650 ° C. in the cooling process were changed. The other conditions were the same as those in Example 1. (However, since the maximum temperature reached is different, the temperature reached in the process of increasing the temperature at a heating rate of 10 ° C./sec in the temperature increasing process (the maximum temperature −110) (° C.) is different.) Table 4 shows the results of measuring the mechanical properties and hole expandability of.
