【発明の詳細な説明】
(産業上の利用分野)
この発明は、低炭素鋼板曲みの良好な加工性のもとに、
高炭素鋼板曲みの焼入性を具備ししかも焼入−焼戻し処
理後の靭性にも優れる熱処理用鋼板を提案しようとする
ものである。[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Industrial Application Field) This invention is based on the good workability of bending a low carbon steel plate.
The present invention aims to propose a steel plate for heat treatment that has high carbon steel plate bending hardenability and also has excellent toughness after quenching and tempering treatment.
一般に、焼入れ一焼戻し処理等の熱処理工程を経た上で
使用される炭素鋼材は、炭素を少なくとも約Q、3wt
%(以下単に%で示す)以上含有し、高炭素鋼と呼ばれ
るが、このような高炭素鋼は硬度が高く、強度および耐
摩耗性に優れているので刃物、ばね、その他の各種機械
部品の分野にて広く使用さている。In general, carbon steel materials used after undergoing a heat treatment process such as quenching and tempering have at least about Q, 3wt of carbon.
% (hereinafter referred to simply as %), and is called high carbon steel.As such high carbon steel has high hardness, excellent strength and wear resistance, it is used for knives, springs, and other various mechanical parts. Widely used in the field.
このような用途分野において熱処理用鋼板はその熱処理
に先立って切削、打抜き、孔明け、曲げなどの各種加工
を受けるが、焼入性の高い鋼はど高強度であって上記の
ような加工が困難である。In these application fields, steel sheets for heat treatment are subjected to various processes such as cutting, punching, drilling, and bending prior to heat treatment, but steel with high hardenability has high strength and cannot be processed as described above. Have difficulty.
これを補うために、予め球状化焼鈍などの軟質化処理を
施すのが一般的であるにしても、このような処理で得ら
れる球状化セメンタイト組織での軟質化の程度には限度
があり、到底低炭素鋼並みの加工性を得ることは難しい
。In order to compensate for this, it is common to perform a softening treatment such as spheroidizing annealing in advance, but there is a limit to the degree of softening in the spheroidized cementite structure obtained by such treatment. It is difficult to obtain workability comparable to that of low carbon steel.
つまり熱処理用の高炭素鋼においては通常、焼入性の観
点から材料の成分が決定されるため、難加工性とならざ
るを得ず、在来の考え方の下で、高炭素鋼につき低炭素
鋼並みの良加工性を期待するといったようなことは側底
無理な注文と言わざるを得なかった。In other words, the composition of high carbon steel for heat treatment is usually determined from the viewpoint of hardenability, so it has to be difficult to process. Expecting good workability on par with steel was an impossible order.
このようにして高炭素鋼を用いる場合、たとえば複雑な
形状の加工ができないと言った制約、また成形方法や、
成形用機械などの問題、さらには上記のような加工工数
および時間の増大など、製造コストの問題が生じていた
わけである。When using high carbon steel in this way, there are constraints such as the inability to process complex shapes, as well as limitations on forming methods,
Problems such as molding machines and the like, as well as the increase in processing man-hours and time mentioned above, caused problems in manufacturing costs.
高炭素鋼における上記難点を解決する他の手段として、
複雑な成形加工を必要とする部品においては使用材料と

さらに浸窒処理などを施す方法もとられていはいるが、
このような浸炭、浸窒処理を行う方法の場合には当然な
がら工数の増加を伴い、経済的に不利益を来すことはい
うまでもない。As another means to solve the above-mentioned difficulties in high carbon steel,
For parts that require complex forming, low-carbon steel with good workability is used and processed to the desired shape, and then carburized or further nitrided to ensure hardenability. Although methods have been adopted to
Needless to say, such carburizing and nitriding methods involve an increase in the number of man-hours, which is economically disadvantageous.

いる。(Prior Art) In JP-A No. 60-52551, in order to further improve the workability of carbon steel materials without requiring particularly troublesome processes and equipment, and while ensuring the necessary strength, The content of P and S is P (%) XS (%) ≦10
It has been proposed that it is useful to induce the formation of a graphite phase by reducing X 10-' as much as possible, resulting in a structure mainly composed of a ferrite phase and a graphite phase.

及んでいるため、加工性改善の効果はなお十分でない。In this case, C013 should be suitable for use as heat treatment steel.
% or more, the tensile strength ranges from approximately 50 kgf/mm' to 35 kgf/mm'', so the effect of improving workability is still not sufficient.

粒子径は大きい程良好となるので、むしろ粗大グラファ
イト粒をもつ組織を1指しているのに反し熱処理用鋼に
あっては、このような粗大グラファイト粒をもつ組織は
次の理由によって適合しない。In addition, JP-A-60-128245 also discloses that workability is improved when the structure is mainly composed of ferrite and graphite. However, this example is not intended for materials that are subjected to hardening treatment, but is limited to structural materials that exclusively utilize the vibration damping properties of the graphite phase in the structure. From the perspective of this, the larger the grain size of the graphite phase in the structure, the better. Structures with graphite grains are not compatible for the following reasons.

。このように、オーステナイトへのCの溶解性が劣る場

度を得られなくなるので、熱処理用鋼として使用できな
いわけである。Generally, when steel is heated to the austenitizing temperature, it is easier for C in the steel to dissolve into the austenite phase when it is in the graphite state than when it is in the cementite state. In particular, this tendency becomes stronger as the graphite grains become coarser. As described above, if the solubility of C in austenite is poor, it will not be possible to obtain a predetermined quench hardness during quenching after austenitization, so the steel cannot be used as a heat treatment steel.

の発明の目的である。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In view of the above-mentioned problems with steel for heat treatment, a steel that is as soft as low carbon steel and has good workability in cutting, punching, drilling, bending, etc. In addition to this, it also has heat treatment performance comparable to that of ordinary high carbon steel when quenching and tempering is performed without the need for time-consuming processes such as carburizing and nitriding. It is an object of this invention to provide a steel plate.

要によっては熱間圧延時の圧延条件の調整に加えてその
後の焼鈍条件の調整を行うのである。Each of the inventions 1 to 4 has the material characteristics of a material that is soft and has good workability on par with low carbon steel when processed, and has good hardenability on the same level as ordinary high carbon steel when heat treated. This is a steel sheet with excellent toughness, wear resistance, and strength properties.In order to achieve these material properties, the microstructure of the steel is changed to a structure in which a fine graphite phase is uniformly dispersed in a phalrite phase (hereinafter referred to as In order to obtain such a microstructure, the chemical composition of the steel must be adjusted, and if necessary, the rolling conditions during hot rolling must be adjusted, as well as the subsequent annealing conditions. Adjustments are made.

あるが、上記の熱間圧延を経て直接、通例どおりの工程

冷延板としてもよい。Any of the steel sheets for heat treatment listed above can be obtained in the form of a hot-rolled sheet that has been subjected to a prescribed hot rolling process and then annealed to change the microstructure to a ferrite-graphite structure. It can also be obtained in the form of a cold-rolled plate by applying the above-mentioned annealing treatment after hot or cold rolling using a hot-rolled plate as a raw material at a rolling temperature range of 500°C or less. In particular, the excellent workability during cold rolling reduces the load on cold rolling operations, which is advantageous. It is also possible to provide a cold-rolled sheet by subjecting it to annealing treatment.

ぞましい。In hot rolling, it is more desirable to advance recrystallization of each grain in order to uniformly disperse the fine graphite, rather than setting conditions that allow each grain to be made as fine as possible during the hot rolling process.
温間ないし冷間圧延は20%以上の圧下率で所定板厚に

(作 用)
上記の各発明で数値限定した理由について以下に詳述す
る。(Function) The reasons for numerical limitations in each of the above inventions will be explained in detail below.
Cは、焼入性を確保する上で不可欠の元素であり、上掲
した熱処理用鋼板を使用して製造した各種製品の耐摩耗
性あるいは硬度、強度特性などの要請から0.30%以
上必要である。1.20%を上限とする理由は、これを
こえるC量で焼入性は飽和するばかりでなく、焼入前の
オーステナイト化時に不溶解のセメンタイト、あるいは
グラファイト相の量が増加し、焼入処理後の耐衝撃特性
の劣化をもたらすからである。C is an essential element to ensure hardenability, and 0.30% or more is required due to requirements such as wear resistance, hardness, and strength characteristics of various products manufactured using the heat-treated steel sheets listed above. It is. The reason why the upper limit is set at 1.20% is that a C content exceeding this not only saturates the hardenability, but also increases the amount of undissolved cementite or graphite phase during austenitization before quenching. This is because it causes deterioration of impact resistance properties after treatment.
Siは、次の二つの理由によりやはり不可欠の元素であ
る。Si is still an essential element for the following two reasons.
先ず第一には固溶硬化によって鋼素地を強化し、焼入処
理後においてCによる焼入硬化だけでは達成できない範
囲の高強度を得やすくし、これによって耐摩耗性の向上
、高硬度化を図ることができるためである。First of all, the steel base is strengthened by solid solution hardening, and after quenching, it is easier to obtain high strength that cannot be achieved by quench hardening with carbon alone, thereby improving wear resistance and increasing hardness. This is because it is possible to achieve this goal.
第二には、良好な微細グラフエイト組織を得るためであ
る。すなわち、上記したように高炭素鋼の熱延ままのミ
クロ組織は、フェライトとパーライト、又はこれらにベ
イナイトを含む組織であって通常、非常に高強度である
ため、成形加工性が著しく悪い。これを改善するために
は焼鈍によってミクロ組織を所期のフェライト・グラフ
ァイト組織に変えるわけであるが、Siはこの焼鈍の際
、セメンタイトをグラファイト粒に変化し易くするよう
に作用して、焼鈍後にフェライト・グラファイト組織を
得られ易くし、これによる軟質化と加工性の改善に寄与
する。なおSlはさらに焼入前の加熱に際してこんどは
グラファイト粒のオーステナイトへの溶解性改善を通し
て焼入性を向上するのにも役立つ。The second reason is to obtain a good fine graphite structure. That is, as described above, the microstructure of high carbon steel as hot-rolled is a structure containing ferrite and pearlite, or bainite therein, and usually has very high strength, so that its formability is extremely poor. In order to improve this, the microstructure is changed to the desired ferrite/graphite structure by annealing, but Si acts to make it easier to change cementite into graphite grains during annealing, and after annealing, It makes it easier to obtain a ferrite/graphite structure, which contributes to softening and improving workability. Furthermore, Sl also serves to improve the hardenability by improving the solubility of graphite grains in austenite during heating before hardening.
ここに81がセメンタイトのグラファイトへの変換を助
長する機構は次の通りである。The mechanism by which 81 promotes the conversion of cementite into graphite is as follows.
Slは非炭化物生成元素であるから平衡的にはセメンタ
イトには溶解し難いが、非平衡的に溶解した状態の場合
には、セメンタイトを非常に不安定化する。熱延後のA
r、変態によるセメンタイトの生成速度は非常に速いの
で生成したセメンタイトの組成は変態前の母相の組成比
を濃厚に引き継ぎ、そのため平衡溶解度以上の過剰なS
iを含有することになる。母材のSi含有量が多いもの
程、セメンタイト中における過剰Sl量も増加するから
、セメンタイトの不安定化度合が増大して、グラファイ
トへの変換が容易になるのである。Since Sl is a non-carbide forming element, it is difficult to dissolve in cementite in an equilibrium state, but when it is dissolved in a non-equilibrium state, it greatly destabilizes cementite. A after hot rolling
r, the production rate of cementite due to transformation is very fast, so the composition of the produced cementite heavily inherits the composition ratio of the parent phase before transformation, and as a result, excess S above the equilibrium solubility
It will contain i. As the Si content of the base material increases, the amount of excess Sl in cementite also increases, which increases the degree of destabilization of cementite and facilitates its conversion into graphite.
以上述べた二つの効果を有利に得るためにはSiは0.
3〜2、0%とすることが必要であり、2、0%以下に
限定する理由は製造コストの観点、すなわち2、0%を
超えて添加しても固溶硬化に関係した耐摩耗性の改善に
ついても、また焼鈍時のグラファイト化促進作用に関し
ても飽和し、製造コストが増加するのみだからである。In order to advantageously obtain the above two effects, Si should be 0.
It is necessary to set the content to 3 to 2.0%, and the reason for limiting it to 2.0% or less is from the viewpoint of manufacturing costs, that is, even if it is added in excess of 2.0%, the wear resistance related to solid solution hardening will decrease. This is because the improvement in graphitization during annealing is saturated, and the manufacturing cost only increases.
Mnは焼入性を向上させる元素であり、とくに焼入処理
工程での臨界冷却速度を下げる効果が大きいので、Mn
を増量した場合、焼入歪防止等の観点から焼入時の冷却
速度を遅くすることが可能となり、この観点からは有効
な元素であるとも云えるが、一方においてMnは、セメ
ンタイト中に溶解し易く、その量が多くなるとセメンタ
イトを著しく安定化して、グラファイト化を阻害し、1
.5%を超えるとこのような悪影響が著しく大きくなっ
て、焼鈍時のグラファイト化が遅滞し、所望のフェライ
ト・グラファイト組織が得難くなるので、上限を1.5
%とした。Mn is an element that improves hardenability, and has a particularly great effect of lowering the critical cooling rate in the hardening process.
If the amount of Mn is increased, it becomes possible to slow down the cooling rate during quenching from the perspective of preventing quenching distortion, and from this perspective it can be said that it is an effective element. When the amount is large, it significantly stabilizes cementite and inhibits graphitization.
.. If it exceeds 5%, such adverse effects will become significant, and graphitization during annealing will be delayed, making it difficult to obtain the desired ferrite-graphite structure, so the upper limit should be set to 1.5%.
%.
また、Mnの下限を0.05%として定めたのは、これ
よりもMnが低くなると不純物元素としてのSの固定が
不十分となり、熱間脆性を惹起し易くなるからである。Furthermore, the lower limit of Mn was set as 0.05% because if the Mn content is lower than this, fixation of S as an impurity element becomes insufficient and hot embrittlement is likely to occur.
Afは、脱酸元素として鋼の清浄度を改善することおよ
びAI!Nとしてグラファイト化を阻害する固溶N低減
効果を期待するためには0.001%以上必要であるが
、この効果は0.100%を超えると飽和するため、0
.001〜0.100%の範囲とする。Af improves the cleanliness of steel as a deoxidizing element and AI! In order to expect the effect of reducing solid solution N that inhibits graphitization, N is required to be 0.001% or more, but this effect is saturated when it exceeds 0.100%, so 0.
.. The range is 0.001% to 0.100%.
Nはセメンタイト中のCと置換する形で溶解し、これを
著しく安定化さす作用がありそのため、焼鈍の際にフェ
ライト・グラファイト組織を得難くすることから0.0
060%以下にしなければならない。N dissolves in the form of replacing C in cementite and has the effect of significantly stabilizing it, making it difficult to obtain a ferrite-graphite structure during annealing.
Must be below 0.060%.
Pは、鋼の変態特性に及ぼす影響ならびに偏析の点から
、焼入性および加工性のいずれに対しても悪影響をあよ
ぼすことが第1の理由、またPはセメンタイト中に微量
溶解してこれを安定化する作用があるため焼鈍に際して
フェライト・グラファイト組織の生成を阻害する作用を
示すことが第2の理由で好ましくなく、このようなPの
悪影響を避けるためには0.020%以下にしなければ
ならない。しかし経済性をこえてまでむやみに低くする
ことは必要でなく、0.002%程度よりも低くなくて
もよい。The first reason is that P has an adverse effect on both hardenability and workability due to its influence on the transformation characteristics and segregation of steel, and P is dissolved in small amounts in cementite. Because it has the effect of stabilizing this, it is undesirable for the second reason to show an effect of inhibiting the formation of ferrite/graphite structures during annealing.In order to avoid such adverse effects of P, the content should be 0.020% or less. There must be. However, it is not necessary to unnecessarily lower it beyond economical efficiency, and it is not necessary to lower it to less than about 0.002%.
Sは非金属介在物を作り易く、加工性を悪化させるとと
もに、焼鈍の際にグラファイト化を阻害する作用もある
ので、0.015%以下にしなけばならない。しかしS
についてもPと同じ理由で0.0005%程度よりも低
くしなくてもよい。S tends to form non-metallic inclusions, worsening workability, and has the effect of inhibiting graphitization during annealing, so it must be kept at 0.015% or less. However, S
For the same reason as for P, it is not necessary to lower it below about 0.0005%.
Caはとくに重要な役割を持つ元素であり、以下の作用
を有する。まず第1は、CaSとして硫化物の形態を加
工性に悪影響のない球状に制御する作用である。次に第
2はCaSとしてSを固定することによってグラファイ
ト化に対して悪影響の大きい微量の7IJ−3の弊害を
除去する作用である。Ca is an element that plays a particularly important role and has the following effects. The first effect is to control the shape of the sulfide as CaS into a spherical shape that does not adversely affect workability. The second effect is to fix S as CaS to eliminate the harmful effects of a trace amount of 7IJ-3, which has a large negative effect on graphitization.
さらに第3はCaSがグラファイト化に際してのグラフ
ァイト核としての作用を発揮し、グラファイト化速度の
増大ならびにグラファイト粒の微細化と均一化を向上す
る作用である。Thirdly, CaS acts as a graphite nucleus during graphitization, increasing the speed of graphitization and improving the refinement and uniformity of graphite grains.
このような効果を得るためにはCa添加量とCa/Sの
比を適正範囲に制御することが重要である。In order to obtain such effects, it is important to control the amount of Ca added and the Ca/S ratio within an appropriate range.
Ca量は少なくとも0.0010%以上なければ、上記
効果を得ることが出来ない。しかし、0.0200%以
上ではその効果は飽和するとともに、Ca系非金属介在
物の量が増大して、逆に加工性が劣化するので好ましく
ない。The above effects cannot be obtained unless the amount of Ca is at least 0.0010% or more. However, if it exceeds 0.0200%, the effect will be saturated and the amount of Ca-based nonmetallic inclusions will increase, which will conversely deteriorate workability, which is not preferable.
また、Ca/Sの比が1未満の場合、CaSとしてのS

ての数が減じ、しかも分布状態が悪化するので得られる
最終のグラファイト粒の分散性が悪くなり、狙いとする
均一、微細なグラファイト組織が得られなくなる。In addition, when the Ca/S ratio is less than 1, S as CaS
The fixation of CaS becomes insufficient, and free S remains, which dissolves in cementite and increases its stability, inhibiting graphitization.At the same time, since the amount of CaS decreases, the graphitization nucleation effect decreases and the desired result is not achieved. No effect is obtained. However, when the Ca/S ratio exceeds 10, CaS aggregates, becomes coarser, and becomes unevenly distributed, reducing the number of nuclear sites and worsening the distribution state of the final graphite grains. As a result, the desired uniform and fine graphite structure cannot be obtained.
Bもまた有用な元素である。即ち、その作用のまず第1

定化を助長すること、第3はBNやFe23 (CB)
6のような析出物がグラファイト化に際しての核作用
として働くことなどの効果を発揮する。B is also a useful element. That is, the first effect is
As is conventionally known, it is a useful element for improving hardenability, and the second is that it combines with N in steel to form BN, reducing IJ-N that inhibits graphitization. The third is promoting the destabilization of cementite, which is necessary to promote graphitization, and the third is BN and Fe23 (CB).
Precipitates such as No. 6 exhibit effects such as acting as a nucleus during graphitization.
以上の効果を期待するにはBは少なくとも0.0005
%以上必要である。しかし0.0500を超えて添加し
てもその効果は飽和し、かえって経済的に不利益を招く
のみである。To expect the above effect, B is at least 0.0005
% or more is required. However, if the amount is added in excess of 0.0500, the effect will be saturated and this will only cause economic disadvantage.

においても0.20%以上の添加が望ましいが、1.0
%を超えるとグラファイト化が著しく悪化して狙いとす
るフェライト+微細グラファイト組織が得られなくなる
ので1.0%を上限とした。Both Cr and Mo increase the hardenability and resistance to temper softening after quenching, so if used in an appropriate amount, they increase the heat treatment performance of the steel. However, on the other hand, it has the effect of substituting with Fe in the hot-rolled cementite and forming a solid solution therein, thereby stabilizing it, and therefore also having the effect of inhibiting graphitization. In order to improve heat treatment performance, it is desirable to add 0.20% or more of any element, but 1.0% or more is desirable.
If it exceeds 1.0%, graphitization will deteriorate significantly and the desired ferrite+fine graphite structure will not be obtained, so 1.0% is set as the upper limit.
Niは特に焼入時の臨界冷却速度を小さくする効果があ

影響を及ぼさず、むしろ逆に若干ながら助長をもたらす
作用を有する点で有用な元素である。この効果を得るた
めには少なくとも0.20%以上の添加が必要であるが
、高価な元素であり、1.0%を超えると経済的に不利
益になるので、上限を1.0%とした。Ni has the effect of reducing the critical cooling rate during hardening, so it contributes to improving hardenability, does not form carbides, does not have a negative effect on graphitization like the above-mentioned Cr and Mo, and is rather On the contrary, it is a useful element in that it has a slightly supportive effect. In order to obtain this effect, it is necessary to add at least 0.20%, but it is an expensive element and if it exceeds 1.0% it will be economically disadvantageous, so the upper limit is set at 1.0%. did.
ここにCr、 Mo及びNiは、焼入性の向上に寄与す
る点で同効成分である。Here, Cr, Mo, and Ni are the same effective components in that they contribute to improving hardenability.
次に上述のように加工性と焼入性を同時に満足させるた

することが限定され、その理由は発明者らの研究成果に
基づいて以下に説明するとおりである。Next, as mentioned above, in order to simultaneously satisfy workability and hardenability, each invention is limited to having a ferrite/graphite structure, and the reason for this is as explained below based on the inventors' research results. be.

した結果である。Using a small specimen taken from a gmm thick hot rolled steel strip with a composition of S: 0.001% and Ca: 0.0015%, the graphitization ratio in the structure was changed by various methods. , the tensile properties and Charpy impact properties were investigated by adjusting the structure to consist mainly of ferrite and fine ferrite, with the remaining C being spheroidized cementite.

ある。Moreover, FIG. 2 shows the difference in hardenability when the graphite particle diameter is different. This evaluation of hardenability was carried out for cases where the graphitization rate was 80% or more and the average graphite particle diameter was variously different, and the heating and holding time at 860°C was varied variously.
The average hardness of the cross section is shown when quenching is performed at a cooling rate of .

の知見が得られた。According to the results shown in Figures 1 and 2, (1) Tensile properties and impact properties depend on the graphitization ratio, and if this graphitization ratio exceeds 80%, the tensile strength is low and the elongation and tit properties are also good. (2) On the other hand, hardenability depends on the average particle size of graphite, and in the case of large graphite grains exceeding 10 μm, the heating time required for austenitization is significantly longer (3) In this way, graphite formation It was found that by increasing the ratio and creating a structure in which fine gelaphyte, whose average grain size was adjusted to 10 μm or less, is mixed with ferrite, a special feature that satisfies workability and hardenability at the same time was obtained. .
ここにグラファイト化焼鈍条件の範囲は十分な軟質化の
もとて加工性に最も有利な焼鈍組織を得ること、および
焼鈍コストが安いことの2つの観点から選択するのが実
際的である。例えば焼鈍温度範囲が500℃未満のよう
に低温焼鈍では軟化の進行が著しく遅くなり、また75
0℃を超えると焼鈍中にオーステナイト相となる割合が
大きくなって、この部分が焼鈍後にパーライト相として
残り、軟質化組織の均一性を阻害する原因となり好まし
くない。そのため焼鈍温度範囲として500〜750℃
が推奨され、また焼鈍時間としては約1〜200時間程
度が適当であるが、焼鈍温度が低い稈長時間を必要とす
る。Here, it is practical to select the range of graphitization annealing conditions from two viewpoints: obtaining an annealed structure most advantageous for workability through sufficient softening, and low annealing cost. For example, in low-temperature annealing where the annealing temperature range is less than 500°C, the progress of softening is extremely slow;
If the temperature exceeds 0°C, the proportion of the austenite phase during annealing increases, and this portion remains as a pearlite phase after annealing, which is undesirable as it becomes a cause of inhibiting the uniformity of the softened structure. Therefore, the annealing temperature range is 500 to 750℃.
is recommended, and the appropriate annealing time is about 1 to 200 hours, but the annealing temperature is low and the culm requires a long time.
なお、材質的にみた場合焼鈍温度の最適な範囲は650
℃〜A1変態点の範囲であり、特にA1変態点直下の温
度を選択すれば短時間の焼鈍で良好な材質が得られる。In addition, from the viewpoint of the material, the optimal range of annealing temperature is 650
C to the A1 transformation point, and in particular, if a temperature just below the A1 transformation point is selected, a good material can be obtained with short annealing.
また、焼鈍サイクルとして例えばいったんα+γ2相温
度領域となる温度まで加熱した後、非常に遅い冷却速度
でA1変態点以下の温度域で保持するとか、の方法を採
用しても焼鈍時間の短縮および材質の改善が図れる。In addition, even if an annealing cycle is adopted, for example, once heated to a temperature in the α + γ two-phase temperature region, and then held at a temperature below the A1 transformation point at a very slow cooling rate, the annealing time can be shortened and the material quality can be improved.

で容易にグラファイト粒が微細均一に分布する最終ミク
ロ組織が得られる。Next, when performing cold or warm rolling prior to this graphitization annealing, from the viewpoint of hardenability and cold workability, it is possible to improve the microstructure consisting of ferrite and fine uniform graphite grains more efficiently. It becomes a means to obtain. In other words, a hot-rolled sheet with an appropriate amount of Ca added to the chemical composition according to the amount of S in the steel so as to act as graphitization nuclei is subjected to cold or warm rolling prior to graphitization annealing. , the graphitization nucleation effect becomes more pronounced and the graphitization rate increases, so that a final microstructure in which graphite grains are finely and uniformly distributed can be easily obtained.
ところで、このグラファイト化過程はまず最初にグラフ

長が進む。この中では核生成過程が非常に重要な要素で
あって、核生成サイトが多く、しかも均一に分布してい
るもの程、最終のグラファイト粒が微細化し、かつ均一
化する。By the way, this graphitization process first involves nucleation of graphite, then decomposition of cementite,
Grain growth progresses in the order of solid solution of C into the matrix and diffusion into graphite grains. The nucleation process is a very important factor in this, and the more nucleation sites there are and the more uniformly they are distributed, the finer and more uniform the final graphite grains will be.
また、核が増加すればセメンタイト分解後のCの拡散距
離も短くて済むのでグラファイト成長速度も増大する。Furthermore, if the number of nuclei increases, the diffusion distance of C after cementite decomposition becomes shorter, so that the graphite growth rate increases.
またB添加の場合はBNあるいはFe23(CB)6等

加し、その核作用を増すことになる。In addition, in the case of B addition, precipitates such as BN or Fe23(CB)6 act as graphitization nuclei, and when cold or warm rolling is added to this, microscopic formation occurs around these precipitates. As a result, the dislocation density increases significantly, increasing the nucleation effect.
また、それ以外にも冷間もしくは温間圧延によって導入
される多量の点欠陥が核サイトとなるので、さら核生成

転位が、素地に固溶したCの拡散の経路として作用する
ので、グラファイトの成長速度をも増進するのである。In addition, cementite is destabilized by the above-mentioned rolling and becomes easily decomposed, and furthermore, the dislocations introduced by rolling act as a diffusion path for C dissolved in the matrix, thereby increasing the growth rate of graphite. It is.

As a result, it also contributes to improving toughness and strength-elongation balance. By accumulating such multiple effects, the effects become even more apparent and extremely effective and good results can be obtained.

If this rolling temperature exceeds 500°C, the number of effectively acting dislocations and point defects will decrease due to strain recovery and recrystallization of the ferrite matrix after rolling, and the desired effect will not be fully exerted. be. Also, rolling reduction rate 2
If it is less than 0%, the proportion of point defects and dislocations introduced by rolling is too small, so it is difficult to obtain any effect.
