Definitions

  • the present disclosure is directed to a high strength steel sheet having a high Young's modulus, which may be used the structural parts of automobile bodies, and to a method for manufacturing the steel sheet.
  • Young's modulus varies greatly depending on the texture of a steel sheet and that, in the case of iron, which has a body-centered cubic lattice, Young's modulus is high in the ⁇ 111> orientation, in which atom density is high, and conversely low in the ⁇ 100> orientation, in which atom density is low. It is known that the Young's modulus of ordinary iron having no grain orientation anisotropy is about 206 GPa. In addition, by increasing atom density in a specific direction as a result of providing grain orientation anisotropy to iron, it is possible to increase Young's modulus in this direction. However, with regard to the rigidity of automobile bodies, since loads are applied from various directions, a steel sheet is required to have a high Young's modulus in all directions instead of in a specific direction.
  • Patent Literature 1 proposes a method for manufacturing a high strength thin steel sheet excellent in terms of rigidity, the method including hot-rolling a slab having a chemical composition containing, by massa, C: 0.02% to 0.15%, Si: 0.3% or less, Mn: 1.0% to 3.5%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Al: 1.0% or less, N: 0.01% or less, Ti: 0.1% to 1.0%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, cold-rolling the hot-rolled steel sheet with a rolling reduction of 20% to 85%, and then performing recrystallization annealing in order to obtain a steel sheet having a microstructure of a ferrite single phase, a TS of 590 MPa or more, a Young's modulus of 230 GPa or more in a direction at an angle of 90° to the rolling direction, and an average Young's modulus in directions at angles of 0°, 45°, and 90° to
  • Patent Literature 2 proposes a method for manufacturing a high-rigidity high strength steel sheet excellent in terms of workability, the method including hot-rolling a slab having a chemical composition containing, by mass %, C: 0.02% to 0.15%, Si: 1.5% or less, Mn: 1.5% to 4.0%, P: 0.05% or less, S: 0.01% or less, Al: 1.5% or less, N: 0.01% or less, Nb: 0.02% to 0.40%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, cold-rolling the hot-rolled steel sheet with a rolling reduction of 50% or more, and then performing recrystallization annealing in order to obtain a steel sheet having a mixed microstructure of ferrite and martensite, a TS of 590 MPa or more and a Young's modulus of 225 GPa or more in a direction at a right angle to the rolling direction.
  • the present disclosure is directed to a high strength steel sheet having a high Young's modulus which has a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more, a Young's modulus of 205 GPa or more in the rolling direction and in a direction at an angle of 45° to the rolling direction, a Young's modulus of 220 GPa or more in a direction at a right angle to the rolling direction, and good deep drawability and to provide a method for manufacturing the steel sheet.
  • examples of the high strength steel sheet having a high Young's modulus according to the present disclosure include a so-called high strength cold-rolled steel sheet having a high Young's modulus, which is a cold-rolled steel sheet, a so-called high strength coated steel sheet having a high Young's modulus, which is a coated steel sheet having a coating film on the surface thereof, a so-called high strength galvanized steel sheet having a high Young's modulus, which is a galvanized steel sheet having a galvanizing film on the surface thereof, and a so-called high strength galvannealed steel sheet having a high Young's modulus, which is a galvannealed steel sheet having a galvannealing film on the surface thereof.
  • the present inventors diligently conducted investigations regarding increasing the Young's modulus and deep drawability of a high strength steel sheet having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more, and as a result, obtained the following knowledge.
  • annealing when annealing is performed, by growing a texture of ⁇ -fiber and ⁇ -fiber as a result of controlling precipitates and annealing temperature in order to increase Young's modulus in all directions, and by utilizing a solid solute C in order to form ferrite and martensite in a certain amount or more, it is possible to achieve desired strength and to manufacture a high strength steel sheet having a high Young's modulus provided with satisfactory deep drawability.

  • skin pass rolling may be performed in-line or off-line.
  • the number of passes of skin pass rolling may be one or plural in order to achieve the target elongation ratio.
  • Molten steels having chemical composition containing the constituent chemical elements given in Table 1 and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities were manufactured by using a revolving furnace, and then made into slabs by using a continuous casting method.
  • the obtained slabs were subjected to hot rolling under conditions given in Table 2, and then, the obtained hot-rolled steel sheets were subjected to pickling.
  • the pickled steel sheets were subjected to cold rolling under the conditions given in Table 2 and subjected to heating (first annealing) and to reheating (second annealing) under the conditions given in Table 2 in order to obtain cold-rolled steel sheets (CR: cold-rolled steel sheet (without coating layer)).
  • the obtained cold-rolled steel sheets were subjected to a galvanizing treatment (GI: galvanized steel sheet) after reheating (second annealing) had been performed. Some others of the obtained cold-rolled steel sheets were subjected to an alloying treatment (GA: galvannealed steel sheet) after reheating (second annealing) and a galvanizing treatment had been performed in this order.

  • a galvanizing bath containing 0.18 mass % of Al was used for a GI and a galvanizing bath containing 0.15 mass % of Al was used for a GA.
  • the bath temperature was 470° C.
  • the coating weight was 45 g/m 2 per side (both side coating).
  • the Fe concentration in the coating layer of a GA was 9 mass % to 12 mass %.
  • a tensile test was performed on a JIS No. 5 tensile test piece prescribed in JIS Z 2201 (1998) taken from the steel sheet which had been subjected to temper rolling with an elongation ratio of 0.5% so that the tensile direction was the rolling direction of the steel sheet in accordance with JIS Z 2241 (1998) in order to determine tensile strength TS and total elongation EL.
  • Young's modulus was determined by using test pieces of 10 mm ⁇ 50 mm which had been taken from the steel sheet in the three directions of the rolling direction (L-direction) of the steel sheet, a direction (D-direction) at an angle of 45° to the rolling direction of the steel sheet, and a direction (C-direction) at a right angle to the rolling direction of the steel sheet and by using a resonant frequency measuring machine of a transverse oscillation type in accordance with the standard (C1259) produced by the American Society to Testing Materials.
  • An average r value was calculated by using the equation below from plastic strain ratios r L , r D , and r C which were determined by using JIS No. 5 test pieces prescribed in JIS Z 2201 (1998) which had been respectively taken from the steel sheet in the three directions of the rolling direction (L-direction) of the steel sheet, a direction (D-direction) at an angle of 45° to the rolling direction of the steel sheet, and a direction (C-direction) at a right angle to the rolling direction of the steel sheet in accordance with JIS Z 2254.

  • the test was performed with a blank holding force of 1.5 tons (14.71 kN). Since surface frictional conditions varied depending on, for example, coating conditions, the test was performed under a high lubrication condition by placing a polyethylene sheet between the sample and the die so that the surface frictional conditions did not influence the test results.
  • the test was performed on test pieces having a blank diameter increased at 1-mm intervals, the ratio (D/d) of the blank diameter D, with which drawing was completed without a fracture, to the punch diameter d was defined as an LDR.
  • an LDR the ratio (D/d) of the blank diameter D, with which drawing was completed without a fracture, to the punch diameter d was defined as an LDR.
