  • These steel sheets should have higher strength from the viewpoint of higher safety or from the viewpoint of lightness in weight of automotive bodies so as to enhance fuel economy to thereby remedy environmental issues.
  • the steel sheets for structural members should also have improved rust preventive property.
  • high-strength steel sheets each including a high-strength steel sheet with a hot-dip galvanized surface are used.
  • hot-dip galvanized high-strength steel sheets desirably have a uniform galvanized layer

  • a liquid lubricant such as a rust preventive oil.
  • the lubricant may be coated unevenly or the lubricant may be degraded due to heat generated when pressing is carried out continuously. This is likely to cause decrease in sliding performance and deterioration in workability.
  • Patent Document 2 discloses a technique of controlling the degree of concentration (degree of enrichment) of alloy elements in a very surface area of a base metal material directly below a galvanized layer. After investigations, however, the present inventors found that even the control of the degree of concentration of alloy elements may not sufficiently improve the adhesion of galvanized layer, and this technique is still susceptible to improvement.
  • Patent Document 3 discloses a technique of improving the peeling resistance by finely dividing crystals of a steel sheet so as to cause outbursts uniformly, as a technique for providing a galvanized layer having good surface properties without bare spots and uneven alloying and for improving the peeling resistance and sliding performance of the galvanized layer.
  • This technique may cause deterioration in sliding performance and/or powdering resistance, because large amounts of alloy elements must be added so as to finely divide the crystals of steel sheet, and this makes it difficult to control the iron concentration in the galvanized layer appropriately.

  • Carbon (C) content 0.06% to 0.15%
  • the element carbon (C) is important to improve the strength of steel sheet and affects the amounts and shapes of products of low-temperature transformation, such as bainite and martensite, so as to improve workability including extensibility (elongation property and stretch flange formability).

  • Mn must be contained in a content of 1% or more.
  • the Mn content is preferably 1.5% or more, and more preferably 1.8% or more.
  • the Mn content is preferably as large as possible, but if the Mn content is more than 3%, ingot making becomes difficult, and the weldability of the resulting hot-dip galvanized high-strength steel sheet and galvannealed high-strength steel sheet is adversely affected.
  • the Mn content is therefore set at 3% or less.
  • the Mn content is preferably 2.9% or less, and more preferably 2.8% or less.
  • Phosphorus (P) content 0.01% to 0.05%

  • the P content is preferably 0.015% or more. However, if the P content is more than 0.05%, for example, galvanizing failure occurs, and the upper limit of the P content is therefore set at 0.05%.
  • the P content is preferably 0.04% or less, and more preferably 0.03% or less.
  • Aluminum (Al) content 0.02% to 0.15%
  • the element aluminum (Al) is contained for deoxidization and should be added in a content of 0.02% or more.
  • the Al content is preferably 0.03% or more, and more preferably 0.04% or more. It should be noted that the excessive addition of Al causes increased oxide inclusions and thereby impairs the surface properties and toughness. Accordingly, the upper limit of the Al content is set at 0.15%.

  • Silicon (Si) content 0.2% or less (inclusive of 0%)
  • the element silicon (Si) forms oxide films such as a SiO 2 film on steel sheet surface, impairs the wettability of galvanized layer, and is harmful. Accordingly, the Si content is preferably as small as possible and is reduced to 0.2% or less, and preferably 0.1% or less.
  • S Sulfur (S) content: 0.03% or less (inclusive of 0%)
  • S Sulfur
  • S is fixed as MnS deposits in steel sheet, and increased amounts of MnS deposits cause deterioration in extensibility and stretch flange formability. Accordingly, the content of sulfur should be reduced to 0.03% or less even if sulfur is contained as inevitable impurities. The S content is preferably reduced to 0.015% or less.

To exhibit these activities effectively, it is recommended to incorporate these elements in a content of each 0.01% or more, and particularly preferably 0.02% or more. The excessive addition of these elements may cause excessively high strength of a hot-rolled steel sheet and thereby invite defects of shape in cold rolling.

  • Calcium (Ca) content 0.01% or less (exclusive of 0%)
  • the element calcium (Ca) allows sulfides in steel to have spherical shapes and thereby contributes to improvement in workability. To exhibit these activities effectively, it is recommended to add Ca in a content of 0.0003% or more, and more preferably 0.0005% or more. However, if Ca is contained in a content exceeding 0.01%, the effects may be saturated and be economically useless.

  • the hot-dip galvanized high-strength steel sheet can be obtained, for example, by carrying out cold rolling according to the above procedure, soaking the cold rolled steel sheet at a temperature equal to or higher than the Ac1 point in a continuous hot-dip galvanization line, and cooling the soaked steel sheet at an average cooling rate of 1° C. per second or more to the temperature of a molten zinc bath so as to cover the surface of the high-strength steel sheet with a galvanized layer.
  • the galvannealed high-strength steel sheet can be obtained by subjecting the hot-dip galvanized high-strength steel sheet prepared by the above procedure to an alloying process according to a common procedure, and cooling the alloyed steel sheet at an average cooling rate of 5° C. per second or more.
  • a soaking temperature in the continuous hot-dip galvanization line may be set to be equal to or higher than the A c1 point.
  • the soaking is preferably carried out at a temperature higher than the A c1 point by about 50° C., in order to allow the high-strength steel sheet to have a composite structure including ferrite and austenite to thereby have increased workability. More specifically, the soaking temperature is preferably about 780° C. or higher.
  • the upper limit of the soaking temperature is not particularly limited, but is generally set at 900° C. or lower.
  • a holding time of the soaking is also not particularly limited, and may be set, for example, at about 10 seconds or more.
  • the temperature of molten zinc bath is 400° C. to 500° C., and preferably 440° C. to 470° C. If the cooling rate is less than 1° C. per second, pearlite may be formed and remain as a final structure to thereby impair the workability.
  • the cooling rate is preferably set at 5° C. per second or more.
  • the upper limit of the cooling rate is not particularly limited but is preferably set at 50° C. per second in consideration of easy control of the sheet temperature and the costs of facilities.
  • the composition of the molten zinc bath is not particularly limited, and a known molten zinc bath can be used. It should be noted that the Al content of molten zinc bath is preferably 0.05% to 0.2%.
  • the element aluminum (Al) acts to control the alloying rate of a galvanized layer. When a steel sheet is dipped in a molten zinc bath containing aluminum (Al), an Fe—Al metal layer is formed on a surface of the steel sheet, i.e., at the interface between the steel sheet and the galvanized layer.
  • the Al content is less than 0.05%, a formed Fe—Al alloy layer may be excessively thin, and, when the steel sheet is dipped in the molten zinc bath, the alloying between the steel sheet and zinc may immediately proceed. Accordingly, the F phase may grow excessively before the completion of alloying up to the galvanized surface during the alloying process, and this may impair the powdering resistance (peeling resistance).
  • the Al content is more preferably 0.07% or more. If the Al content, however, is more than 0.2%, the Fe—Al alloy layer may be excessively thick, and the alloying between Fe and Zn may be inhibited so as to retard the alloying of the galvanized layer in the alloying process. In this case, the alloying line should be elongated or another alloying process at high temperatures should be carried out in order to proceed alloying.
  • the Al content is therefore more preferably 0.18% or less.
  • the galvanized steel sheet is cooled at a cooling rate of 5° C. per second or more to ordinary temperature so as to transform austenite into martensite.
  • a composite (dual-phase) structure mainly containing ferrite and martensite is obtained. If the cooling rate is less than 5° C. per second, martensite may not be formed, and, contrarily, pearlite and/or bainite may be formed.
  • the cooling rate is preferably set at 10° C. per second or more.
  • the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet may be heated to about 500° C. to about 750° C., and preferably about 500° C. to about 600° C. according to a common procedure.
  • a heating procedure for the alloying process is not particularly limited and can be selected from among various known procedures such as gas heating or induction heating.
  • a composite structure mainly containing ferrite and martensite can be obtained by cooling the steel sheet after the alloying process at a cooling rate of 5° C. per second or more to ordinary temperature.
  • the hot-dip galvanization was conducted by dipping the steel sheets in the molten zinc bath at a temperature of 450° C. to 470° C. for 3 seconds. Next, the steel sheets were heated to a temperature within a range from 540° C. to 560° C., held at this temperature for 15 seconds for carrying out an alloying process, cooled at a cooling rate of 30° C. per second or more to room temperature, subjected to temper rolling at a rolling reduction of 1.0%, and thereby yielded galvannealed steel sheets.
  • the metal structures at a center position in a thickness direction of the base steel sheets of the galvannealed steel sheets were observed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) at a magnification of 3000 times. These steel sheets were found to have composite structures mainly containing ferrite and martensite in an a real ratio of 80% or more, with the ratios of the area of ferrite to that of martensite of 74:26 to 32:68.
  • SEM scanning electron microscope
  • the Fe concentrations of the galvannealed steel sheets were measured by dissolving their alloyed galvanized layers in hydrochloric acid and carrying out atomic absorption spectrometry. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
  • TS tensile strengths
  • El elongations
  • TS tensile strength
  • El elongation
  • the galvanizing ability, sliding performance, and powdering resistance of the galvannealed steel sheets were evaluated in the following manner.
  • the galvanizing ability of a sample was evaluated by visually observing the sample on whether or not bare spots occurred. A sample with no bare spot observed was evaluated as good (“Good”) in galvanizing ability, and a sample with bare spots observed was evaluated as poor (“Poor”) in galvanizing ability. The evaluation results are shown in Table 2 below.
  • the sliding performance was evaluated in the following manner.
  • a rust preventive oil supplied from Parker Industries, Inc., “NOX-RUST 550HN (trade name)” was applied in a coating amount of about 1.5 g/m 2 to the both sides of a sample galvannealed steel sheet (test piece), and 20-mm square flat tools were pressed to the both sides of the test piece at a contact pressure of about 30 N/mm 2 .
  • the powdering resistance was evaluated by caring out a V-shaped bending test using a V-shaped punch having a bending angle of 60 degrees and a bending radius of 1 mm, and measuring the amount of peeled deposit (galvanized layer) inside of the bent portion. The evaluation was conducted based on such criteria that a sample having a peeling amount of 10 mg or less was evaluated as good in powdering resistance, and a sample having a peeling amount more than 10 mg was evaluated as poor in powdering resistance. The results are shown in Table 2 below.
  • Tables 1 and 2 demonstrate as follows. Samples Nos. 1 to 10 satisfy conditions as specified in the present invention, are free from the occurrence of bare spots, and are excellent in sliding performance and powdering resistance. In contrast, Samples Nos. 11 to 20 do not satisfy the conditions as specified in the present invention and are poor in mechanical properties, particularly in the balance between strength and elongation. In addition, they suffer from the occurrence of bare spots or are poor in at least one of sliding performance and powdering resistance.
  • FIG. 2 is a graph showing the relationship among the K value, the Fe concentration, and the occurrence of bare spots.
  • data indicated by the open circle, closed triangle, and open triangle represent data of samples without the occurrence of bare spots; and data indicated by the closed rhombus and “X” represent data of samples with the occurrence of bare spots.
  • data indicated by the closed triangle are the data of a sample evaluated as poor in powdering resistance; data indicated by the open triangle are the data of a sample evaluated as poor in sliding performance; and data indicated by the closed rhombus are the data of a sample evaluated as poor both in powdering resistance and sliding performance.
  • FIG. 2 demonstrates that a sample having a K value within the range as specified in the present invention is free from bare spots, but a sample having a K value out of the range suffers from bare spots.
  • FIG. 3 is a graph showing the relationship among the F value, the Fe concentration, and the sliding performance or powdering resistance.
  • data indicated by the open circle represent data of a sample having good sliding performance and good powdering resistance
  • data indicated by “X” represent data of a sample having poor sliding performance or powdering resistance
  • data indicated by the closed triangle represent the data of a sample which is good in sliding performance and powdering resistance but suffers from the occurrence of bare spots.
  • FIG. 3 demonstrates that a sample having an F value within the range as specified in the present invention is excellent in sliding performance and powdering resistance; but, in contrast, a sample having an F value out of this range is poor in sliding performance or powdering resistance.
