Definitions
- the invention relates to a method of producing an austenitic steel sheet excellent in resistance to delayed cracking.
- small amounts of hydrogen may be introduced at some stages of steel fabrication such as chemical or electrochemical pickling, annealing under special atmospheres, electroplating or hot dip galvanizing. Subsequent machining operations using lubricating oils and greases may also cause hydrogen production after decomposition of these substances at high temperatures.
- the SFE of the steel increases. Any adverse effects of the elements that lower the SFE, such as silicon, are counteracted by the addition of aluminium. Additionally, aluminium lowers the activity and the diffusivity of carbon in austenite, which reduces the driving force for forming carbides.
- the vanadium which is added as an essential alloying addition, forms carbides. These vanadium-carbides act as hydrogen sinks if and when the size and distribution of the vanadium-carbides is correct.
- the increased aluminium content is therefore essential to control the vanadium-carbide precipitation because it prevents the vanadium-carbides from coarsening due to the reduced carbon activity and diffusivity as a result of the presence of aluminium.
- the annealing treatment is crucial in that it controls the precipitation of the vanadium-carbides and causes the recrystallisation of the cold-deformed microstructure caused by the cold-rolling to result in a fine grain structure.
- the silicon content is very low, i.e. at impurity level.
- the aluminium content is limited only by the fact that the steel according to the invention is an austenitic steel.
- the maximum aluminium content is 5%.
- the aluminium content is at least 1.25 and/or at most 3.5%, more preferably at least 1.5 and/or at most 2.5%.
- the maximum annealing temperature T a is 825° C. or even 800° C.
- the cooling rate V c is between 10 and 100° C./s.
- a preferable cooling rate is between 20 and 80° C./s.
- the heating rate is preferably between 3 and 60° C./s.
- the annealing time t a is preferably between 15 and 300 seconds.
- the maximum annealing temperature T a is from 775 to 795° C. (i.e. 785 ⁇ 10° C.).
- the steel strip material has been pickled before cold rolling.
- Pickling is (often) necessary before cold rolling to remove oxides, to prevent rolling in of oxides.
- the cold rolled strip material is produced from a hot rolled strip material or a belt cast strip material.
- the strip is led through a hot dip bath for providing a metallic coating by hot dipping the strip into a molten bath of the metal making up the metallic coating.
- the metallic coating can be any known common coating such as zinc or zinc alloy, wherein the zinc may be alloyed with elements such as aluminium and/or magnesium.
- the strip is pickled after continuous annealing and wherein the strip is provided with a metallic coating by pickling after annealing followed by heating to a temperature below the continuous annealing temperature before the strip is led through a hot dip bath for providing a metallic coating by hot dipping the strip into a molten bath of the metal making up the metallic coating.
- This alternative process is available if the economical process as described hereinabove is not preferred. There may be issues with adhesion with certain specific metallic coatings for which a pickling treatment may be necessary. After pickling, it is not necessary nor desirable to heat the strip above the T a . It is preferable that the heating temperature remain below T a.
- the strip material is heated only to a temperature high enough to form a closed inhibition layer.
- This temperature is lower than the normal continuous annealing temperature necessary for metallurgical reasons (such as recrystallisation to influence mechanical properties). The forming of oxides on the surface of the steel strip material is thereby reduced.
- the temperature below the continuous annealing temperature is between 400 and 600° C. In this temperature range the forming of oxides is considerably reduced and the strip material is heated sufficiently for the subsequent hot dip galvanizing.
- the Fe in the strip material is reduced during or after the heating to a temperature below the continuous annealing temperature and before the hot dip galvanising.
- the Fe-oxides that are formed are reduced, and in this way the amount of oxides present on the surface of the strip material before hot dip galvanizing is decreased considerably.
- the reduction is performed using H 2 N 2 , more preferably using 5-30% H 2 N 2 in the reducing atmosphere. It has been found that with the use of this atmosphere most oxides can be removed.
- an excess amount of O 2 is provided in the atmosphere during or after the heating of the strip material and before the reduction of the strip material.
- the providing of an excess amount of oxygen improves the quality of the surface of the steel strip material before the hot dip galvanizing, and thus the quality of the zinc layer coated on the AHSS strip material. It is supposed that the oxygen binds the alloying elements in the AHSS strip material both at the surface of the strip material and internally, and that in this way the oxides formed cannot migrate to the surface of the strip material.
- the reducing atmosphere that follows after the oxidation will then reduce the oxides at the surface of the strip material, and in this way the amount of oxides at the surface of the strip material is considerably reduced or even almost absent, as experiments have shown.
- the excess amount of O 2 is provided in an amount of 0,05-5% O 2 . This amount of oxygen has been found to suffice.
- V-alloyed TWIP steel strip material according to the invention was hot rolled, pickled and cold rolled, and continuously annealed to a temperature according to the invention and pickled again. Then the strip material is heated to a temperature of 527° C. in an annealing line, and thereafter hot dip galvanised in a galvanising bath at approximately 450° C.
- the strip material is reduced using approximately 5% H 2 N 2 . The reduction of the strip material removes the oxides from the surface, but the oxides formed under the surface remain where they are and cannot migrate to the surface.
- the oxides are effectively removed and no new oxides can be formed at the surface.
- These oxides when not removed, cause a bad adhesion of the zinc layer to the substrate, resulting in bare spots, flaking and the forming of cracks in the zinc layer when the material is bent.
- the alloying elements migrate to the surface very fast at the alloying temperature and thus form oxides at the surface again before the hot dip galvanising takes place. Whatever the exact mechanism may be, it has been found that the use of this method diminishes or almost eliminates the amount of oxides found in a hot dip galvanised zinc layer on a V-alloyed TWIP steel.
- the cold-rolling reduction is between 10 to 90%, more preferably between 30 and 85, even more preferably between 45 and 80%.
- the annealed strip is temper rolled with a reduction of from 0.5 to 10% prior to or after the metallic coating has been provided to the strip.
- the Vanadium content is between 0.06 and 0.22%.
- a strip or sheet is provided produced by a method according to any one of claims 1 to 6 , wherein the steel preferably is provided with a metallic coating.
- the strip or sheet is used for the production of automotive inner or outer parts or wheels or for hydroforming applications.
- the finish rolling temperature was chosen to ensure recrystallisation of the deformed microstructure and the coiling temperature was kept below 500° C. to avoid carbide precipitation. Recrystallisation does not solely depend on the FRT but also depends on the time, on the rolling strain accumulated since the last recrystallisation event during hot rolling and on the strain rate.
- the material softens due to an increased fraction of recrystallised material and probably some grain growth. At these temperatures, the effect of precipitation is limited.
- the difference between the (fully recrystallised) materials annealed at 775° C. and 800° C. is small because the precipitation is considered optimal in this temperature region for minimising grain growth. Based on these observations, the recommended annealing temperature is 785° C. ⁇ 10° C.
- V-alloyed grades show a lower susceptibility to crack formation as the material is annealed at a higher temperature.
- V addition is clearly beneficial at an annealing temperature of 750° C., but also at higher annealing temperatures.
- V-alloys were subjected to a resistance spot welding tests. Hot cracking in the weld was largely reduced compared to the Si-free non V-alloyed material.
