As a stainless steel whose strength is increased by cold working, SU
There are steel grades such as S301 steel that produce a martensite phase during cold working to increase strength, and steel grades that contain elements such as Mn and N that enhance work hardening ability. However, all of these steel grades require a considerable amount of cold working in order to obtain high strength, and have a problem of low ductility.

As precipitation hardening type stainless steel, SUS630 steel which precipitates fine Cu phase and intermetallic compound of Ni and Al are precipitated.
SUS631 steel is generally used. However, the tensile strength of SUS630 steel, which utilizes the martensitic phase by heat treatment, is at most 160 kg f / mm 2 . In addition, the tensile strength of SUS631 steel, which utilizes the martensitic phase generated by cold working, can be pulled up to about 190 kg f / mm 2, but the ductility is greatly reduced due to the increase in strength. Furthermore, in SUS631 steel in which a large amount of Al is added, nonmetallic inclusions are likely to remain in the steel, which may lead to a decrease in toughness or fatigue strength.

(Means for Solving the Problems) The present invention has overcome the problems of conventional steels and has found the components of stainless steel having excellent strength and ductility, that is, stainless steel having an excellent strength-ductility balance. The composition of the steel of the present invention is adjusted so as to be composed of a metastable austenite phase in a solution state, and a part of the austenite phase is transformed into a martensite phase by subsequent cold rolling or cold working. Further, Si is added to achieve the desired strength level by the subsequent aging treatment. The first feature of the steel of the present invention is that a martensite phase is formed by cold rolling or cold working which is lighter than that of SUS301 and the like.
Is strengthened in the martensite phase by containing 0.05 to 0.20% of Al, so that sufficient ductility is ensured while exhibiting strength of approximately SUS301 in the state as cold rolled. Therefore, the workability in this state is much better than that of the conventional SUS301 steel. The second feature is that the strength is dramatically increased by performing an optimum aging treatment after cold rolling or cold working. The increase in strength due to this aging is due to the fine precipitation of the (Ni, Cr) 3 Si intermetallic compound in martensite during aging, and 3.0% is required to obtain a sufficient effect.
It is necessary to add more than Si. Compared to the conventional precipitation hardening type stainless steel, its strength is greatly increased, and the deterioration of ductility due to aging is small. That is, the strength-ductility balance of the steel of the present invention after aging is superior to that of the conventional steel.

(作 用) まず、本発明鋼の成分限定理由について述べる。(Operation) First, the reasons for limiting the components of the steel of the present invention will be described.

C is an effective element for strengthening martensite produced by cold rolling, but it has a large ductility reduction compared to strengthening by N, and Cr carbide precipitates at grain boundaries during aging, resulting in increased intergranular corrosion cracking susceptibility. Therefore, the C content is set to 0.03% or less.

Si is the most important element that greatly increases the strength due to aging. This age hardening is due to the fine (N
This is due to the precipitation of the intermetallic compound of (i, Cr) 3 Si, but if the Si content in the steel is 3.0% or less, the precipitation is not sufficient and the increase in strength is small. However, if added in excess of 5.0%, a large amount of δ-ferrite will be generated at high temperature, resulting in a marked decrease in hot workability and difficulty in manufacturing.
It was set to 5.0%.

Mn is an element effective in increasing the solid solution amount of N and suppressing the formation of δ ferrite. In order to secure the N content of 0.05 to 0.20%, it is necessary that the Mn content exceeds 1.0%, but if it exceeds 5.0%, the austenite phase is stabilized, and cold rolling or cold working occurs. The content of Mn is 1.0% because the transformation of martensite phase is suppressed.

Cr is an essential element in terms of corrosion resistance, and 13% or more of Cr content is necessary to impart the desired corrosion resistance as stainless steel and suppress martensite generated during cooling after solution treatment. However, if a large amount of Cr is added, a large amount of δ ferrite is generated at high temperature, which not only deteriorates hot workability,
Even after the solution treatment, a large amount of δ-ferrite remains, which reduces strength and ductility. If a large amount of austenite-forming elements such as C, N, and Ni are added to suppress the formation of this δ ferrite, the austenite phase becomes more stable at room temperature, and an appropriate amount of martensite is formed by cold rolling or cold working. Becomes difficult. The upper limit of Cr content was set to 17% in consideration of the alloy balance for obtaining a metastable austenite phase at room temperature.

Ni is a basic element that makes the structure after solution treatment austenite, and if the content is less than 5%, martensite is generated during cooling after solution treatment. Since this martensite phase has a lower strength than the martensite phase formed during cold rolling or cold working, the desired strength cannot be obtained. Further, since the austenite having a Ni content of 8% or more is stabilized and the martensite phase is not formed by cold rolling or cold working, the upper limit is set to less than 8%.

N is an important element that strengthens not only the martensite phase but also the retained austenite phase. C is also effective for strengthening martensite or retained austenite, but the decrease in ductility due to strengthening is large. The steel of the present invention is characterized by the addition of N, which causes less reduction in ductility due to strengthening. In order to obtain a sufficient effect for strengthening this martensite phase or retained austenite phase, N must be 0.05% or more, but if it is added in excess of 0.20%, a large number of blowholes will be formed during casting, so its upper limit is set.

The present invention steel has a higher strength than the conventional steel, the above composition range is sufficient to achieve high ductility, while maintaining good hot workability of the present invention steel, cracking in hot rolling, etc. In order to prevent it, it is effective to add a trace amount of Al, Ca or lanthanoid rare earth elements. However, if these elements are added excessively, they will remain in many steels in the form of inclusions such as oxides, which will lower the ductility or fatigue strength, so the range of addition is 0.01 to 0.20% for Al, lanthanoids. The rare earth elements were 0.002 to 0.050% and Ca was 0.001 to 0.020%.

Furthermore, it is desirable that P and S, which are inevitably mixed during melting, be as low as possible. P is from the viewpoint of stress corrosion cracking, and S forms MnS, which leads to a decrease in ductility. It is desirable to set it to 0.05% or less and 0.005% or less.

The steel of the present invention can be used as cold-rolled as work hardening type high strength stainless steel. In the steel of the present invention, since the stability of the austenite phase in the solution state is low and the strengthening by the addition of N, a hard martensite phase is generated with a small rolling rate, and the strength is increased. Further, it has an advantage that the decrease in ductility due to the increase in strength is smaller than that of conventional steel. However, the greatest feature of the steel of the present invention is that its strength is remarkably increased by the aging treatment after the cold rolling. A manufacturing method that makes the most of this feature will be described below.

The steel of the present invention is melted and then hot-rolled or cold-rolled, and then solution heat treatment is performed to adjust all or most of the structure to a metastable austenite phase. As the solution heat treatment conditions at this time, a temperature range of 900 to 1200 ° C. is desirable, and if the solution temperature is too low, the precipitates generated in the previous step cannot be sufficiently solid-soluted, and if the temperature is too high, the strength, A large amount of δ ferrite, which is harmful to ductility, is generated.

After the solution heat treatment, the strain introduced by cold rolling is used to transform the metastable austenite phase to the martensite phase. A sufficient amount of martensite phase is required to obtain sufficient strength after the aging heat treatment, and for this purpose, the reduction ratio in cold rolling is required to be 10% or more. Further, the strength after aging treatment is strongly affected by the rolling reduction at this stage, and the larger the rolling reduction, the greater the increase in strength due to aging treatment, but the slightly lower ductility due to aging. Therefore, it is desirable to consider the strength and ductility required for the final product and to determine the cold rolling rate accordingly.

In the state as cold-rolled, the material strength is lower than that after the aging heat treatment, and the ductility is higher than that of the conventional work-hardening high-strength stainless steel, so the workability is good. Therefore, it is desirable to process various springs, metal gaskets, etc. at this stage.

As the aging heat treatment performed after cold rolling or after cold working, heating within a temperature range of 300 to 600 ° C. for 0.1 to 30 hours is appropriate. That is, if the temperature is lower than 300 ° C, the strength does not sufficiently increase due to aging, and if the temperature is higher than 600 ° C, a part of the martensite phase reversely transforms into an austenite phase,
On the contrary, the strength is lowered by the aging heat treatment. Also, if the heating time is less than 0.1 hours, the strength increase due to aging does not appear sufficiently,
Even if it is heated for more than 30 hours, the strength increasing effect is saturated and has no meaning in the manufacturing process.

It can be seen that the elongation before and after aging is larger than that of the conventional steel or the comparative steel. FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the strength and ductility of the steels of the present invention, conventional steels and comparative steels described above.
