JP4760031B2 - Austenitic ferritic stainless steel with excellent formability - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to an austenitic ferritic stainless steel having excellent formability.

  Stainless steel is used as a material having excellent corrosion resistance in a wide range of fields such as automobile members, building members, and kitchen equipment. Stainless steels are generally classified into four types: austenitic, ferritic, austenitic / ferritic, and martensitic based on the structure of the steel. Among these, austenitic stainless steel represented by SUS304 is most commonly used because it has excellent corrosion resistance and workability.

  However, although austenitic stainless steel has high workability compared to other stainless steels, it has a problem of high price because it contains a large amount of expensive Ni. In addition, austenitic stainless steel is prone to cracking when processed to near the forming limit and is highly sensitive to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). However, there was a problem in applying to a site with extremely high. In addition, martensitic stainless steel has excellent strength but is inferior in ductility, stretch formability and corrosion resistance, and cannot be applied to processing applications.

  On the other hand, ferritic stainless steel can improve corrosion resistance by increasing the Cr content, and has excellent characteristics that it is difficult to cause cracking and stress corrosion cracking. However, ferritic stainless steel has a disadvantage that it is inferior in workability, particularly strength-ductility balance, compared to austenitic stainless steel.

  Therefore, a technique for improving the workability of ferritic stainless steel has been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a chromium steel sheet that is excellent in deep drawing formability by reducing the C and N contents and adding appropriate amounts of Ti and Nb in a ferritic stainless steel sheet containing 5 to 60 wt% Cr. A method is disclosed. However, in the steel sheet of Patent Document 1, the C and N contents in the steel are reduced to C: 0.03 wt% or less and N: 0.02 wt% or less, respectively, in order to improve deep drawability. However, the improvement of ductility is also insufficient, that is, the strength-ductility balance is inferior. Therefore, when the steel plate of Patent Document 1 is applied to an automobile member, the plate thickness necessary to obtain the required strength for the member is increased, and it cannot contribute to weight reduction. In addition, overhang forming, deep drawing forming, hydraulic forming There is a problem that it cannot be applied to severe processing applications such as.

  Thus, in recent years, austenitic / ferritic stainless steel, which is located between the austenitic and ferritic types, has attracted attention. Although this austenitic ferritic stainless steel is excellent in corrosion resistance, there is a problem that the price is still expensive because the Ni content is as high as 4 mass% or more.

As a countermeasure to this problem, Patent Document 2 discloses that the Ni addition amount is limited to more than 0.1% and less than 1%, and further, an austenite stability index (IM index: 551-805 (C + N)%-8.52 Si%- An austenitic and ferritic stainless steel sheet that is excellent in tensile elongation by controlling the range of 8.57Mn% -12.51Cr% -36.02Ni% -34.52Cu% -13.96Mo%) in the range of 40 to 115 is disclosed.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 08-020843 Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-071643

  However, the austenitic ferritic stainless steel sheet disclosed in Patent Document 2 is still insufficient even though the ductility is improved, and the deep drawability is not sufficient. Therefore, there is a problem that it is still difficult to apply to applications where extreme stretch molding or hydraulic molding is performed, and it is difficult to apply to applications where extreme deep drawing is performed.

  An object of the present invention is to provide an austenitic ferritic stainless steel having high formability excellent in ductility and deep drawability.

  Inventors evaluated moldability about stainless steel which has various components and steel structures, in order to improve the moldability of stainless steel other than austenitic series containing expensive Ni. As a result, it has been found that austenite-ferritic stainless steel may exhibit particularly high ductility. As a result of further investigation on this cause, the fraction of the austenite phase and the C and N contents in the austenite phase greatly affect the ductility. In particular, C, N, Si, Mn, It has been found that higher ductility can be obtained by adjusting the strain stability of the austenite phase defined by the Cr, Ni, Cu, and Mo contents to an appropriate range. And the austenitic ferritic stainless steel which shows this high ductility discovered that it was excellent also in deep drawability, and came to develop this invention.

That is, the present invention, C: 0.2 mass% or less, Si: 0.07 ~4mass%, Mn : 0.04~3.02 mass%, P: 0.1mass% or less, S: 0.03 mass% or less, Cr: 15 to 35 mass%, Ni: 0.49 mass% or less, N: 0.1 to 0.6 mass%, the balance is composed of Fe and inevitable impurities, and the ferrite phase and austenite phase An austenite-ferrite system, characterized in that the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase is 0.16 to 2 mass%, and the volume fraction of the austenite phase is 10 to 85%. Stainless steel.

2. The austenitic ferritic stainless steel according to claim 1, wherein the stainless steel of the present invention has a work-induced martensite index (Md (γ)) defined by the following formula: −30 to 90.
Md (γ) = 551−462 (C (γ) + N (γ)) − 9.2Si (γ) −8.1Mn (γ) −13.7Cr (γ) −29Ni (γ) −29Cu (γ) −18.5Mo (γ)
However, C (γ), N (γ), Si (γ), Mn (γ), Cr (γ), Ni (γ), Cu (γ) and Mo (γ) are the amounts of C in the austenite phase, respectively. (mass%), N amount (mass%), Si amount (mass%), Mn amount (mass%), Cr amount (mass%), Ni amount (mass%), Cu amount (mass%), Mo amount ( mass%)

  The stainless steel of the present invention is characterized in that the total elongation in a tensile test is 48% or more.

  Further, the stainless steel of the present invention is characterized by further containing any one or two of Cu: 4 mass% or less and Mo: 4 mass% or less in addition to the above component composition.

  According to the present invention, austenite-ferritic stainless steel having high formability excellent in ductility and deep drawability can be provided at low cost without containing a large amount of expensive Ni. Since the austenitic ferritic stainless steel of the present invention is excellent in formability, it can be subjected to severe overhang forming, deep drawing forming, hydroforming such as hydroforming in the fields of automobile members, building members, kitchen equipment, etc. Suitable for receiving applications.

The stainless steel according to the present invention will be described.
The stainless steel of the present invention is an austenitic / ferritic stainless steel mainly composed of an austenitic phase and a ferrite phase. In the present invention, in the austenitic ferritic stainless steel mainly composed of the two phases, the volume fraction of the austenite phase and the contents of C and N contained in the austenite phase have a great influence on the formability. There is a feature in that the optimum values are specified. In the stainless steel of the present invention, the steel structure other than the austenite phase and the ferrite phase is mainly a martensite phase.

  The austenite-ferritic stainless steel according to the present invention needs to have a volume fraction of 10 to 85% of the austenite phase fraction with respect to the entire structure of the steel. If the austenite phase fraction is less than 10%, high formability cannot be obtained because there are few austenite phases excellent in ductility. On the other hand, if it exceeds 85%, SCC cracks, which is a phenomenon peculiar to austenitic stainless steel, will be observed. A preferred austenite phase fraction is in the range of 15-80% by volume, more preferably 25-75%.

  The volume fraction of the austenite phase can be controlled by adjusting the component composition of steel and the annealing conditions (temperature, time) in the final annealing step. Specifically, the volume fraction of the austenite phase increases as the Cr, Si, and Mo contents decrease and the C, N, Ni, and Cu contents increase. On the other hand, if the annealing temperature is too high, the volume fraction of the austenite phase decreases. On the other hand, if the annealing temperature is too low, C and N precipitate as carbonitrides and the amount of solid solution decreases, leading to stabilization of the austenite phase. , The volume fraction of the austenite phase also decreases. That is, depending on the steel component composition, there is a temperature range in which the maximum volume fraction of austenite phase can be obtained. In the component composition of the present invention, the temperature is in the range of 700 to 1300 ° C. The longer the annealing time, the closer to the volume fraction of the austenite phase in an equilibrium state determined by the composition and temperature of the steel, but it is sufficient to secure about 30 seconds or more.

  The austenitic ferritic stainless steel of the present invention is required to have a total amount of C and N contained in the austenitic phase of 0.16 to 2 mass%. If the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase is less than 0.16 mass%, the strength of the work-induced martensite phase is low, so that sufficient formability cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the total amount of C and N exceeds 2 mass%, a large amount of carbides and nitrides precipitate during cooling after annealing, and rather adversely affects the ductility. The total amount of C and N is preferably in the range of 0.2 to 2 mass%, more preferably 0.3 to 1.5 mass%.

  The C and N content in the austenite phase can be controlled by adjusting the component composition of steel and the annealing conditions (temperature, time). The relationship between the composition of steel and the annealing conditions is affected by many steel components such as C, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Mo. When the amount of Cr is large, the amount of C and N in the austenite phase often increases. Moreover, when the component composition of steel is the same, C and N often concentrate in the austenite phase as the volume fraction of the austenite phase determined by the annealing conditions is lower. In addition, the measurement of C and N in an austenite phase can be measured by EPMA, for example.

The reason why the volume fraction of the austenite phase and the total amount of C and N contained in the austenite phase affect the moldability has not been clarified yet, but the inventors consider as follows. ing.
When steel is subjected to tensile deformation, it generally undergoes uniform deformation, and then necking (necking) locally occurs and eventually breaks. However, since the austenite phase is present in the stainless steel of the present invention, when micronecking begins to occur, the austenite phase at that site undergoes a work-induced transformation to the martensite phase and becomes harder than at other sites. Therefore, the necking of the part does not proceed any more, and the deformation of the other part proceeds instead. As a result, the entire steel is uniformly deformed and high ductility is obtained. In particular, the stainless steel of the present invention having a high total amount of C and N in the austenite phase is smaller than other stainless steels having a small total amount of C and N in the austenite phase even when the volume fraction of the austenite phase is the same. It is considered that the martensite phase generated in the necking portion is high in hardness, and the effect of improving ductility due to the work-induced martensite phase is effectively expressed.

Furthermore, the inventors have obtained the following formula from the C, N, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu, and Mo contents in the austenite phase in the austenitic ferritic stainless steel of the present invention:
Md (γ) = 551−462 (C (γ) + N (γ)) − 9.2Si (γ) −8.1Mn (γ) −13.7Cr (γ) −29Ni (γ) −29Cu (γ) −18.5Mo ( γ)
However, C (γ), N (γ), Si (γ), Mn (γ), Cr (γ), Ni (γ), Cu (γ) and Mo (γ) are the amounts of C in the austenite phase, respectively. (mass%), N amount (mass%), Si amount (mass%), Mn amount (mass%), Cr amount (mass%), Ni amount (mass%), Cu amount (mass%), Mo amount ( mass%)
By controlling the work-induced martensite index (Md (γ)) of the austenite phase defined by -30 to 90, higher ductility characteristics can be obtained. Specifically, the thickness is 0.8 mm. However, they found that a total elongation of 48% or more was obtained.

  The above Md (γ) is an index indicating the ease of processing-induced martensitic transformation when the austenite phase is processed. The higher this index is, the easier the martensitic transformation associated with processing occurs. . The reason why the above Md (γ) is preferably in the range of −30 to 90 is that when it is less than −30, the processing-induced martensite transformation hardly occurs. This is because the amount of work-induced martensite generated is small, and when Md (γ) exceeds 90, the austenite phase undergoes martensitic transformation throughout the steel before micronecking begins to occur. This is because when a large amount of necking begins to occur, the austenite phase that becomes the basis of the processing-induced martensite decreases. Therefore, only when Md (γ) is controlled in the range of −30 to 90, when the minute necking begins to occur, the amount of martensite generated at the necking site is optimized and exhibits very high ductility. it is conceivable that.

  The austenitic ferritic stainless steel of the present invention not only has excellent ductility as described above, but also has high deep drawability. The reason for this is that, in the deep drawing process, particularly in the corner portion where deformation is concentrated and cracking is likely to occur, the volume fraction of the austenite phase and the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase have an effect on the ductility. For the same reason, it is considered that local deformation is suppressed as a result of moderate hardening due to work-induced martensitic transformation and improvement of ductility.

Next, the preferable component composition of the austenitic ferritic stainless steel according to the present invention will be described.
C: 0.2 mass% or less C is an element that increases the volume fraction of the austenite phase and concentrates in the austenite phase to increase the stability of the austenite phase. In order to acquire the said effect, it is preferable to contain 0.003 mass% or more. However, if the C content exceeds 0.2 mass%, the heat treatment temperature for solid solution of C becomes extremely high, and the productivity is lowered. Therefore, it is preferable to limit the amount of C to 0.2 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 0.15 mass% or less, More preferably, it is less than 0.10 mass%.

Si: 0.07 to 4 mass%
Si is added as a deoxidizer and as a strengthening element. In order to acquire the said effect, it is preferable to contain 0.01 mass% or more. However, if the addition amount of Si exceeds 4 mass%, the steel material strength becomes too high and the cold workability is deteriorated. More preferably in the range of 0.07 ~4mass%.

Mn: 0.04 to 3.02 mass%
Mn is useful as a deoxidizer and as an element for adjusting Md (γ) of the austenite phase, and can be added as appropriate. In order to acquire the said effect, it is preferable to contain 0.01 mass% or more. However, since hot workability deteriorates when the addition amount exceeds 12 mass%, the content is preferably set to 12 mass% or less, and more preferably in the range of 0.04 to 3.02 mass%.

P: 0.1 mass% or less P is an element harmful to hot workability. In particular, if it exceeds 0.1 mass%, the adverse effect becomes remarkable, and therefore it is preferably 0.1 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 0.05 mass% or less.

S: 0.03 mass% or less S is an element that is harmful to hot workability. Particularly, if it exceeds 0.03 mass%, the adverse effect becomes significant, so 0.03 mass% or less is preferable. More preferably, it is 0.02 mass% or less.

Cr: 15-35mass%
Cr is the most important element for imparting corrosion resistance to stainless steel, and if it is less than 15 mass%, sufficient corrosion resistance cannot be obtained. On the other hand, Cr is a ferrite stabilizing element. If the amount exceeds 35 mass%, it becomes difficult to generate an austenite phase in the steel. Therefore, Cr is preferably limited to a range of 15 to 35 mass%. More preferably, it is 17-30 mass%, More preferably, it is 18-28 mass%.

Ni: The 0.49 mass% or less Ni, is an austenite forming element, when it exceeds 3 mass%, in addition to Ni content of the ferrite phase is deteriorated ductility of the ferrite phase increases, so causing an increase in cost, 0 .49 mass% or less . Contact name, from the viewpoint of improving the low temperature toughness, preferably it contains more than 0.1mass%.

N: 0.1 to 0.6 mass%
N, like C, is an element that increases the volume fraction of the austenite phase and concentrates in the austenite phase to stabilize the austenite phase. However, if N exceeds 0.6 mass%, blow holes are generated during casting, and stable production becomes difficult. On the other hand, if it is less than 0.05 mass%, the concentration of N in the austenite phase is insufficient. Therefore, preferably in a 0.1 ~0.6mass%, more preferably 0.1~0.4mass%. Furthermore, N is preferably 0.18 mass% or more from the viewpoint of austenite phase generation and 0.34 mass% or less from the viewpoint of hot workability.

The austenitic ferritic stainless steel of the present invention can contain Cu and Mo in the following ranges in addition to the above components.
Cu: 4 mass% or less
Cu can be added as appropriate in order to improve the corrosion resistance. In order to acquire the said effect, it is preferable to add 0.1 mass% or more. However, since hot workability will deteriorate when it exceeds 4 mass%, it is preferable to restrict to 4 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 2 mass% or less.

Mo: 4 mass% or less
Mo can be added as appropriate in order to improve the corrosion resistance. In order to acquire the said effect, it is preferable to add 0.1 mass% or more. However, since the effect will be saturated if it exceeds 4 mass%, it is preferable to limit to 4 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 2 mass% or less.

Further, the stainless steel of the present invention may contain V, Al, B, Ca, Mg, REM , Ti and Nb in the following ranges in addition to the above components.
V: 0.5 mass% or less V is an element that refines the structure of the steel sheet and increases the strength, and therefore can be added as necessary. In order to acquire the said effect, adding 0.005 mass% or more is preferable. However, if it exceeds 0.5 mass%, the heat treatment temperature for dissolving C and N will be extremely high, leading to a decrease in productivity. Therefore, it is preferable to limit the addition amount of V to 0.5 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 0.2 mass% or less.

Al: 0.2 mass% or less
Al is a strong deoxidizer and can be added as appropriate. In order to acquire the said effect, adding 0.003 mass% or more is preferable. However, if it exceeds 0.2 mass%, a nitride is formed and causes generation of surface defects. Therefore, it is preferably limited to 0.2 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 0.1 mass% or less.

B: 0.02 mass% or less, Ca: 0.02 mass% or less, Mg: 0.02 mass% or less, REM: 0.2 mass% or less, Ti: 0.2 mass% or less, Nb: 1 mass% or less, or 2 or more types B, Ca, Mg can be appropriately added as a component for improving hot workability. In order to acquire the said effect, adding 0.0003 mass% or more is preferable. However, since corrosion resistance will deteriorate if it exceeds 0.02 mass%, it is preferable to limit each to 0.02 mass% or less. Similarly, REM and Ti can be appropriately added as components for improving hot workability. In order to acquire the said effect, adding 0.002 mass% or more is preferable. However, since corrosion resistance will deteriorate if it exceeds 0.2 mass%, it is preferable to limit each to 0.2 mass% or less. The REM is a rare earth element such as La or Ce. Nb can be added as an element that suppresses sensitization (corrosion resistance deterioration due to the formation of chromium carbide and chromium nitride at grain boundaries). In order to acquire the said effect, adding 0.002 mass% or more is preferable. However, if it exceeds 2 mass%, a large amount of Nb carbonitride is generated and solute C and N in the steel are consumed, which is not preferable.
In the stainless steel of the present invention, the balance other than the above components is Fe and inevitable impurities. Among impurities, O is preferably limited to 0.05 mass% or less from the viewpoint of preventing surface flaws due to inclusions.

Various steels having the composition shown in Table 1 were melted under vacuum or in an atmosphere with a nitrogen partial pressure controlled to 0 to 1 atm to form a steel slab, followed by hot rolling and hot rolling in accordance with conventional methods. Annealing and cold rolling, finish annealing for 1 minute at the annealing temperature shown in Table 2, various cold rolling with 0.8mm thickness with different volume fraction of austenite phase and total amount of C and N in austenite phase An annealed plate was produced. The cold-rolled annealed sheet obtained as described above was subjected to structure observation, component analysis in the austenite phase, tensile test, and measurement of limit drawing ratio (LDR) in the following manner.
<Tissue observation>
The cross-sectional structure in the rolling direction of the cold-rolled annealed plate was observed using an optical microscope over a total thickness of 0.1 mm or more, and the area ratio of the austenite phase was measured to obtain the volume fraction of the austenite phase. Specifically, after polishing the cross section in the rolling direction of the sample, it was etched with a red blood salt solution (30 g of potassium ferricyanide + 30 g of potassium hydroxide + 60 ml of water) or aqua regia, and then a black and white photograph was taken to obtain a white portion (austenite phase and martensite). The proportion of the site portion) and the gray portion (ferrite phase) was determined by image analysis, and the white portion fraction was defined as the volume fraction of the austenite phase. The white part may contain not only the austenite phase but also the martensite phase, but the stainless steel of the present invention has a small amount of martensite phase, so the value measured by this method is the volume fraction of the austenite phase. It may be used as a rate. Moreover, although a white part and a gray part may reverse, in this case, an austenite phase and a ferrite phase can be discriminate | determined from the precipitation form of an austenite phase.
<Analysis of components in austenite phase>
Component analysis in the austenite phase was performed by EPMA using a sample obtained by polishing the cross section. Specifically, since C and N have a feature of being concentrated in the austenite phase, first, the qualitative mapping of C or N is performed on the entire cross section to identify the austenite phase, and then an electron beam is generated in the ferrite phase. C, N, Si, Mn, Cr, Ni, Cu and Mo were quantitatively analyzed about the substantially central part of the austenite phase so as not to be applied. The measurement area was about 1 μmφ, and three or more points were measured for each sample, and the average value was used as the representative value. In addition, based on these measured values, the following formula:
Md (γ) = 551−462 (C (γ) + N (γ)) − 9.2Si (γ) −8.1Mn (γ) −13.7Cr (γ) −29Ni (γ) −29Cu (γ) −18.5Mo ( γ)
However, C (γ), N (γ), Si (γ), Mn (γ), Cr (γ), Ni (γ), Cu (γ) and Mo (γ) are the amounts of C in the austenite phase, respectively. (mass%), N amount (mass%), Si amount (mass%), Mn amount (mass%), Cr amount (mass%), Ni amount (mass%), Cu amount (mass%), Mo amount ( mass%)
The processing induced martensite index (Md (γ)) defined by
<Tensile test>
JIS No. 13 B tensile test specimens were taken from cold rolled annealed sheets from 0 ° (parallel), 45 ° and 90 ° directions with respect to the rolling direction, and at a tensile rate of 10 mm / min in air at room temperature. A tensile test was performed. In the tensile test, the total elongation to break in each direction is measured and the following formula:
El = {El (0 °) + 2El (45 °) + El (90 °)} / 4
Was used to calculate the average elongation (El), and this was evaluated as the total elongation.
<Limit drawing ratio>
From the cold-rolled annealed plate, circular test pieces with different diameters (blank diameters) were punched out, and this test piece was subjected to cylindrical drawing under the conditions of punch diameter: 35 mm and plate pressing force: 1 ton. The maximum blank diameter that can be squeezed without breaking was divided by the punch diameter to determine the limit drawing ratio (LDR), and the deep drawability was evaluated. The punching diameter of the test piece used for the cylindrical drawing was changed so that the drawing ratio was 0.1 interval.

The results of the above test are shown together in Table 2. FIG. 1 shows the influence of the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase and the volume fraction of the austenite phase on the total elongation based on the results shown in Table 2. From this, even with the volume fraction of the same austenite phase, the present invention steel in which the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase is 0.16 to 2 mass% is less than 0.16 mass% in the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase. Compared to steel, it shows a high elongation value, indicating that it is excellent in ductility.
FIG. 2 shows the influence of the processing-induced martensite index (Md (γ)) on the elongation based on the results shown in Table 2. From FIG. 2, even the steel of the present invention in which the total amount of C and N in the austenite phase is 0.16 to 2 mass% can be further improved by controlling Md (γ) to an appropriate range, in particular, Md ( It can be seen that when γ) is controlled in the range of −30 to 90, the total elongation is 48% or more (plate thickness 0.8 mm), and very excellent ductility characteristics can be obtained.
FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the total elongation and the limit drawing ratio (LDR). FIG. 3 shows that the austenitic ferritic stainless steel of the present invention has a much higher limit drawing ratio than the comparative steel, and is excellent not only in ductility but also in deep drawability.

  The technology related to the austenitic and ferritic stainless steel of the present invention is not limited to a steel plate, for example, even when applied to a thick plate, a shaped steel, a wire rod, a pipe, etc. Excellent ductility can be obtained.
