Description

The present invention relates to a steel sheet for cans suitable for a can container material used for food and beverage cans and a method for producing the same. The present invention relates to a steel plate for cans and a method for producing the same, which is particularly suitable for a DRD (Draw and Redraw) can body, a lug cap and a screw cap used as a lid of a bottle.

Among the steel plates used for beverage cans and food cans, steel plates called DR (Double Redduced) materials may be used for can lids, can bottoms, and bodies of 3-piece cans. The DR material is a steel sheet produced by primary cold rolling, annealing, and then secondary cold rolling at a rolling ratio of a certain level or higher. Compared to SR (Single Reduced) materials that perform only temper rolling with a small rolling ratio, the plate thickness can be easily reduced while being hardened. From the viewpoint of reducing the environmental load and cost in recent years, there is a demand for reducing the amount of steel sheets used for beverage cans and food cans, and there is an increasing demand for DR materials that can easily thin the steel sheets.

Since the DR material is hardened mainly by work hardening, it generally has low draw moldability. Therefore, there is a problem that defects such as cracks occur in parts where high draw moldability is required, such as rivet portion of EOE (Easy-Open End) and flange processing of a 3-piece can body portion. On the other hand, a steel sheet having improved drawability has been proposed.

For example, Patent Document 1 states that, in terms of mass%, C: 0.01 to 0.05%, Si: 0.04% or less, Mn: 0.1 to 1.2%, S: 0.10% or less, Al: 0.001 to 0.100%, N: 0.10% or less, P: 0.0020 to 0.100%, the balance consists of Fe and unavoidable impurities, and the tensile strength TS is 500 MPa or more. Further, a steel plate for a high-strength container in which the strength difference between the plate width direction and the rolling direction is 20 MPa or less is disclosed.

Further, for example, in Patent Document 2, in terms of mass%, C: 0.010% or more and 0.080% or less, Si: 0.05% or less, Mn: 0.10% or more and 0.70% or less, P: It contains 0.03% or less, S: 0.020% or less, Al: 0.005% or more and 0.070% or less, N: 0.0120% or more and 0.0180% or less, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities. It has a component composition consisting of the above N, the N content as a solid solution N is 0.0100% or more, the ferrite average particle size is 7.0 μm or less, and the plate thickness is 1 from the surface. The dislocation density at the / 4 depth position is 4.0 × 10 ¹⁴ m ^-2 or more and 2.0 × 10 ¹⁵ m ^-2 or less, the tensile strength in the direction perpendicular to rolling after aging treatment is 530 MPa or more, and the elongation is 7 A high-strength steel plate characterized by being% or more is disclosed.

WO2009 / 125876 WO2015 / 166646

The technique described in Patent Document 1 has obtained good flange workability and necking workability, but the draw moldability required for processing a DRD can body, a screw cap, or the like is not sufficient. For example, when a steel plate is drawn and molded into a can body, it is ideal that the overhanging allowance (flange width) of the flange portion after molding is uniform in the can body circumferential direction. There is a demand for a steel sheet for cans having excellent drawability with little variation in the flange width in the circumferential direction. Further, the tensile strength in the technique described in Patent Document 1 is about 640 MPa, and the steel plate strength is insufficient for a thin-walled product to have sufficient compressive strength.

Similarly, the technique described in Patent Document 2 also lacks draw moldability.

The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength steel sheet for cans having excellent draw moldability and a method for producing the same. Here, high strength means that the tensile strength in the rolling direction after the aging treatment is 650 MPa or more.

The present inventors have conducted diligent research to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, the present inventors have focused on the effect of the in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value of the steel sheet on the draw formability of the steel sheet for cans, and the Δr of the steel sheet is −0.3 or more and 0. It was newly found that excellent drawability can be obtained if the value is 3 or less. Further, the present inventors set the conditions of steel composition, slab heating, hot rolling, winding, primary cold rolling, annealing, and secondary cold rolling within a predetermined range, so that Δr becomes −. It has been found that it is possible to provide steel sheets for cans having a thickness of 0.3 or more and 0.3 or less. Then, based on this finding, the present invention has been completed.
In the present specification, the "r value" is a Rankford value indicating a plastic strain ratio. Further, in the present specification, "Δr" can be calculated according to the formula described later.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. The steel sheet for cans of the present invention

Si: 0.05% or less,
Mn: 0.10% or more and 0.70% or less,

The balance has a component composition of Fe and unavoidable impurities,
The in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value is −0.3 or more and 0.3 or less.
Then, in the steel sheet for cans of the present invention, a slab having the above-mentioned composition is heated to 1180 ° C. or higher, hot-rolled at a finishing temperature of 820 ° C. or higher, and then wound at a temperature of more than 640 ° C. and 700 ° C. or lower to 85%. It can be produced by primary cold rolling at the above rolling ratio, annealing at 620 ° C. or higher and 690 ° C. or lower, and secondary cold rolling at a rolling ratio of more than 20% and 40% or lower.

First, the component composition of the steel sheet for cans of the present invention will be described.
C: 0.010% or more and 0.080% or less C is an element important for improving strength, and by setting it to 0.010% or more, high strength, specifically, tensile strength in the rolling direction after aging treatment Contributes to increasing the strength to 650 MPa or more. Preferably, the amount of C is 0.020% or more. On the other hand, when the amount of C exceeds 0.080%, the in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value is lower than −0.3 and the drawability is lowered. Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of C is set to 0.080% or less. There is a need to. Preferably, the amount of C is 0.040% or less.

Si: 0.05% or less When a large amount of Si is added, the surface treatment property deteriorates due to the surface thickening of Si and the corrosion resistance deteriorates. Therefore, the Si amount needs to be 0.05% or less, preferably 0.05% or less. It is 0.03% or less. On the other hand, since Si contributes to the improvement of tensile strength, the lower limit of Si is preferably 0.01%.

Mn: 0.10% or more and 0.70% or less Mn has the effect of improving the tensile strength of the steel sheet by solid solution strengthening and the hot ductility caused by S contained in the steel by forming MnS. It has the effect of preventing a decrease. In order to obtain this effect, it is necessary to add 0.10% or more of Mn. In particular, from the viewpoint of increasing the strength of the steel sheet, it is preferable to add Mn in an amount of 0.20% or more, and more preferably 0.50% or more. On the other hand, if Mn exceeds 0.70%, the in-plane anisotropy deteriorates. Therefore, the amount of Mn is set to 0.70% or less. Preferably, the amount of Mn is 0.65% or less.

P: 0.03% or less When P is added in a large amount, the drawability is lowered due to excessive hardening and segregation of P to the central portion of the steel sheet, and the corrosion resistance is also lowered. Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of P is 0.03%. Preferably, the amount of P is 0.02% or less. It should be noted that reducing the amount of P to less than 0.01% involves an increase in costs such as smelting costs. Therefore, from the viewpoint of economy, it is preferable that the amount of P is 0.01% or more.

S: 0.020% or less S forms sulfide in steel, lowers hot ductility, and lowers workability in hot rolling. Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of S is 0.020% or less. Preferably, the amount of S is 0.015% or less. If the S amount is 0.008% or more, pitting corrosion can be prevented regardless of the contents of the can, so the S amount is preferably 0.008% or more.

Al: 0.005% or more and 0.020% or less Al is an element added as an antacid. In order to obtain this effect, it is necessary to add 0.005% or more of Al. When Al is excessively present in the steel, it is combined with N to form AlN, which reduces the solid solution N in the steel, resulting in a decrease in the tensile strength of the steel sheet. Therefore, the amount of Al needs to be 0.020% or less. The amount of Al is preferably 0.008% to 0.019%, more preferably 0.011% to 0.016%. The amount of Al is preferably 0.008% or more, more preferably 0.011% or more, preferably 0.019% or less, and more preferably 0.016% or less.

N: 0.0120% or more and 0.0180% or less N contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet as a solid solution strengthening element. For this effect, it is necessary to add 0.0120% or more as the amount of N. On the other hand, when a large amount of N is added, the in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value is remarkably lowered and the draw moldability is lowered. Therefore, the upper limit of the N amount is set to 0.0180%. Preferably, the amount of N is 0.0135% to 0.0165%. The amount of N is preferably 0.0135% or more, and preferably 0.0165% or less.
The steel sheet for cans of the present invention contains the above-mentioned various components, and the balance is based on the component composition of Fe and unavoidable impurities.

The steel sheet for cans of the present invention can be obtained by adding the above basic components as necessary.
Ti: 0.005% or more and 0.020% or less,
Nb: 0.005% or more and 0.020% or less,

Ca: 0.0010% or more and 0.01% or less,
It can contain one or more of Ni: 0.05% or more and 0.15% or less and Cu: 0.05% or more and 0.20% or less.

Ti: 0.005% or more and 0.020% or less Ti contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet as a precipitation strengthening element. For this effect, it is preferable to add 0.005% or more of Ti. On the other hand, when a large amount of Ti is added, the anisotropy of the steel sheet becomes excessively large, so the amount of Ti is preferably 0.020% or less.

Nb: 0.005% or more and 0.020% or less Nb contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet as a precipitation strengthening element. Because of this effect, it is preferable to add 0.005% or more of Nb. On the other hand, when a large amount of Nb is added, the anisotropy of the steel sheet becomes excessively large, so that it is preferably 0.02% or less.

Mo: 0.01% or more and 0.05% or less Mo acts as a precipitation strengthening element and contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet by making the structure finer. For this effect, it is preferable to add 0.01% or more of Mo. However, since the effect is saturated even if a large amount of Mo is added, the amount of Mo is preferably 0.05% or less.

Cr: 0.04% or more and 0.10% or less Cr contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet as a precipitation strengthening element. For this effect, it is preferable to add 0.04% or more of Cr. When a large amount of Cr is added, it becomes a coarse precipitate and the effect of increasing the strength is saturated. Therefore, the amount of Cr is preferably 0.10% or less.

B: 0.0005% or more and 0.0060% or less B contributes to high strength of the steel sheet by fine granulation. Because of this effect, it is preferable to add 0.0005% or more of B. Even if a large amount of B is added, not only the effect is saturated, but also the absolute value of the in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value of the steel sheet becomes large, so that the amount of B is preferably 0.0060% or less.

Ca: 0.0010% or more and 0.01% or less Ca has an effect of refining sulfide to improve hot ductility. Further, in Ca, by binding Ca with S, the amount of Mn that produces the compound MnS is reduced, and the proportion of the amount of Mn that contributes to solid solution strengthening is increased, which contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet. effective. Therefore, it is preferable to add 0.0010% or more of Ca. Even if a large amount of Ca is added, not only the effect is saturated, but also the drawability may be deteriorated due to coarse inclusions. Therefore, the amount of Ca is preferably 0.01% or less.

Ni: 0.05% or more and 0.15% or less Ni contributes to high strength of steel sheet by solid solution strengthening and fine graining. For this effect, it is preferable to add 0.05% or more of Ni. When a large amount of Ni is added, the surface texture is significantly deteriorated. Therefore, the amount of Ni is preferably 0.15% or less.

Cu: 0.05% or more and 0.20% or less Cu contributes to increasing the strength of the steel sheet by strengthening the solid solution and making it finer. For this effect, it is preferable to add 0.05% or more of Cu. When a large amount is added, the surface texture is significantly deteriorated. Therefore, the amount of Cu is preferably 0.20% or less, more preferably 0.15% or less.

Next, the material characteristics of the steel sheet for cans of the present invention will be described.
In-plane anisotropy of r value Δr: −0.3 or more and 0.3 or less In order to mold a DRD can body or bottle cap with good drawability, the in-plane anisotropy of r value is required. The index Δr needs to be −0.3 or more and 0.3 or less. Here, Δr is expressed by the equation _{Δr = (r 0} + r ₉₀ -2 · r _{45) / 2.} As Δr deviates from the above range, the anisotropy of the r value becomes larger, and the so-called “ears” of the flange portion become larger during drawing forming, so that a good shape cannot be obtained. That is, if Δr is out of the above range, the width of the flange portion after drawing molding fluctuates greatly, so that sound drawing forming in which a uniform flange width shape can be obtained in the steel sheet for cans cannot be realized.
Δr is preferably −0.25 or more and 0.25 or less.

Tensile strength in rolling direction after aging treatment: 650 MPa or more In order to secure the pressure resistance of the DRD can body and bottle lid, it is preferable that the tensile strength of the steel sheet in the rolling direction is 650 MPa or more. By setting the tensile strength to 650 MPa or more, sufficient pressure resistance can be ensured even if the steel sheet is thinned. In the case of a DR material, the tensile strength is generally lower in the rolling direction than in the rolling perpendicular direction, and therefore, in the present specification, the tensile strength in the rolling direction is used for evaluation. In addition, since steel sheets for cans are often used by baking coating, in this specification, evaluation is made based on the characteristics after aging treatment at 210 ° C. for 10 minutes, which corresponds to baking coating. When the plate thickness is particularly thin, the tensile strength of the steel sheet in the rolling direction is preferably 680 MPa or more. On the other hand, if the strength is excessively increased, molding defects such as wrinkles become noticeable during molding, so the tensile strength is preferably 800 MPa or less.

Next, the method for manufacturing the steel sheet for cans of the present invention will be described.
The steel plate for cans of the present invention has a step of heating a slab having the above component composition to 1180 ° C. or higher, a step of hot rolling the heated slab at a finishing temperature of 820 ° C. or higher, and hot rolling heat. A process of winding a rolled sheet at a temperature of more than 640 ° C. and 700 ° C. or less, a process of primary cold rolling of a wound hot rolled sheet at a rolling ratio of 85% or more, and a process of primary cold rolling of a cold rolled sheet of 620. It can be produced through a step of annealing at ° C. or higher and 690 ° C. or lower and a step of secondary cold rolling of the annealed annealed sheet at a rolling ratio of more than 20% and 40% or less.

Heating temperature: 1180 ° C. or higher If the heating temperature of the slab before hot rolling is too low, a part of AlN becomes undissolved, the amount of solid solution N decreases, and the tensile strength decreases. Therefore, in the step of heating the slab, a heating temperature of 1180 ° C. or higher is required. The preferred heating temperature is 1200 ° C. or higher. The upper limit of the heating temperature is not particularly specified, but if it is 1300 ° C. or lower, surface defects due to scale can be easily avoided, so that the upper limit is preferably 1300 ° C.

Finishing temperature: If the finishing temperature in the hot rolling step of 820 ° C. or higher is less than 820 ° C., the above-mentioned Δr becomes a value outside the predetermined range, and the draw moldability deteriorates. Therefore, the finishing temperature needs to be 820 ° C. or higher. The preferred finishing temperature is 860 ° C. or higher. The upper limit of the finishing temperature is not particularly limited, but it is preferable if the temperature is 930 ° C. or lower because a steel sheet having a finer particle size can be obtained.

Winding temperature: Over 640 ° C and 700 ° C or less If the winding temperature in the winding process is 640 ° C or less, the formation of cementite in the steel becomes insufficient, and the primary cooling of the next process remains in an excessive state of solid solution C. Since inter-rolling is performed, the Δr becomes a value outside the predetermined range, and the drawability deteriorates. Therefore, the winding temperature needs to be higher than 640 ° C. The preferred take-up temperature is 650 ° C. or higher. On the other hand, when the winding temperature exceeds 700 ° C., the particle size of the hot-rolled sheet becomes coarse, so that the particle size of the final steel sheet also becomes coarse and the tensile strength decreases. Therefore, the winding temperature needs to be 700 ° C. or lower. The preferred take-up temperature is 680 ° C or lower.

Here, prior to cold rolling, pickling can be performed if necessary. The pickling conditions are not particularly specified, and it is sufficient that the surface scale of the hot-rolled plate can be removed. Therefore, it may be pickled according to a conventional method.

Primary cold rolling ratio: 85% or more The rolling ratio in the process of primary cold rolling needs to be 85% or more for the purpose of refining the ferrite grain size after annealing and improving the tensile strength. The rolling ratio is preferably 86% or more. On the other hand, when the rolling ratio is 91.4% or less, it is easy to control the Δr to be small, which is preferable. More preferably, the total cold rolling ratio, which is the sum of the rolling ratios of the primary cold rolling and the secondary cold rolling described later, is 90.5% or less, and more preferably 90.0% or less.

Annealing temperature: 620 ° C. or higher and 690 ° C. or lower In order to ensure drawability, it is necessary to sufficiently recrystallize during annealing. For that purpose, in the step of annealing the cold-rolled plate obtained in the step of primary cold rolling, the annealing temperature needs to be 620 ° C. or higher. On the other hand, if the annealing temperature is too high, the ferrite grain size becomes coarse and the tensile strength decreases. Therefore, the annealing temperature needs to be 690 ° C. or lower. The annealing temperature is preferably 640 ° C. or higher, preferably 680 ° C. or lower, and more preferably 640 ° C. to 680 ° C. The annealing time is preferably 10 s or more. The annealing method is not limited, but a continuous annealing method is preferable from the viewpoint of material uniformity. Further, the cooling conditions after annealing are not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of increasing the strength by the action of solid solution C, the temperature range from 500 ° C. to 300 ° C. is cooled at 50 ° C./s or more after annealing. It is more preferred to cool at a rate.

Secondary cold rolling rate: More than 20% and 40% or less The annealed sheet obtained after the above annealing is increased in strength by secondary cold rolling and finished into a thin steel sheet. In order to make the tensile strength of the steel sheet after the aging treatment in the rolling direction 650 MPa or more, it is necessary to make the rolling ratio in the secondary cold rolling step more than 20%. The preferred rolling ratio is 22% or more. On the other hand, if the secondary cold rolling ratio is too high, the drawability deteriorates. Therefore, the rolling ratio needs to be 40% or less. When particularly high drawability is required, the rolling ratio is preferably 35% or less.

From the above, the steel sheet for cans of the present invention can be obtained. Even if the steel sheet obtained here is subjected to surface treatment such as plating or chemical conversion treatment, the effect of the invention is not lost.

A steel slab containing the components of steel symbols A to V shown in Table 1 and having the balance consisting of unavoidable impurities and Fe was melted to obtain a steel slab. The obtained steel slab is heated, hot-rolled, wound, pickled to remove scale, then primary cold-rolled, and subjected to each annealing temperature in a continuous annealing furnace under the conditions shown in Table 2. Annealed. The obtained annealed sheet was secondarily cold-rolled at each secondary cold-rolling ratio to obtain a steel sheet having a sheet thickness of 0.12 to 0.22 mm (steel plate symbols 1 to 29).

Tensile strength in rolling direction after aging treatment After aging treatment equivalent to baking coating at 210 ° C for 10 minutes, a No. 5 tensile test specified in JIS Z 2241 was taken so that the tensile direction was in the rolling direction. , JIS Z2241 was used to evaluate the tensile strength.

In-plane anisotropy of r-value Δr
The in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value was measured and evaluated by the natural vibration method (module r) described in ASTM A623M.

Drawing property A blank having a diameter of 160 mm was punched from the obtained steel sheet, and a can body having a diameter of 82.8 mm and a height of 45.5 mm was produced by drawing-redrawing. Further, the bottom of the can was beaded (depth 0.5 mm, radius of curvature 1 mm) with diameters of 70 mm and 40 mm. The flange width of the obtained can body was measured all around at a pitch of 15 degrees. If the difference between the maximum and minimum flange widths is 1.5 mm or less, the draw moldability is good ◎, if it is more than 1.5 mm and 2 mm or less, the draw moldability is acceptable. If so, it was evaluated as x because it was inferior in draw moldability.
The detailed conditions for this test are described below.
Lubrication conditions: Lubricant is applied to both sides of the steel sheet.
Aperture ratio of the second aperture: 1.26
Wrinkle suppression pressure at each aperture: 0.3MPa
Die shoulder radius at first throttle: 2.5 mm
Die shoulder radius at the time of the second drawing: 2.5 mm

Compressive strength The lid is wrapped around the above can body, a hole is made from the lid side, air is sent under sealing, and the pressure at which the bottom of the can buckles is measured. If it is 0.18 MPa or more, it is ○, less than 0.18 MPa. If so, it was set as x.

The test results are shown in Table 3. In each of the examples of the present invention, the in-plane anisotropy Δr of the r value is −0.3 or more and 0.3 or less, and the draw moldability and the compressive strength are excellent. On the other hand, in the comparative example, any one or more of the above characteristics are inferior.
