Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a hot-rolled steel sheet used for a vehicle body component, or the like, such as a suspension component of a vehicle, and the like, a steel pipe and a member using the same, and a manufacturing method therefor, and more particularly, a hot-rolled steel sheet having excellent impact resistance and rust resistance and exhibiting ultra-high strength after a heat treatment, a steel pipe and a member using the same, and a manufacturing method therefor.
  • a suspension component among vehicle body components is a component requiring high strength-high toughness, corrosion resistance, fatigue durability, and the like, and a hot-rolled steel sheet is mainly applied thereto.
  • Such a suspension component may be manufactured by hot-rolling forming or cold-rolling forming and performing a heat treatment on a pipe-shaped component. It has been known that, in most cases, pre-fracture may occur in a process of manufacturing the component or in a component use environment. It has been known that the fracture may occur for various reasons, and basically, it has been assumed that the fracture may be caused by quench cracking occurring in the process of manufacturing a steel pipe using a manufactured steel sheet or by hydrogen delayed fracture due to hydrogen atoms and/or molecules mixed into a steel pipe in the manufacturing process or a use environment. Hydrogen delayed fracture may include technical terms such as hydrogen embrittlement, hydrogen delayed cracking, and hydrogen induced cracking, and the like. It has been found that the effect of hydrogen delayed fracture may be significant in an ultra-high strength steel sheet or steel pipe having 1800 MPa or higher of tensile strength after a heat treatment.
  • PGS prior austenite grain size
  • resistance to delayed fracture may improve by an effect in which hydrogen in steel may be caught in a refined grain boundary by Nb or Ti precipitate such that threshold hydrogen amount causing delayed fracture may be dispersed.
  • Reference 1 indicates that, as it has been confirmed that Ni element in steel including a high amount of Si, 0.5% or higher, may deteriorate resistance to delayed fracture, less than 0.5% of Ni element may be added, and it may be preferable to control Ni to be an impurities level, a 0.03% level, as possible.
  • reference 2 suggests that, by controlling a shape of retained austenite to control an axis ratio (a long axis/a short axis) of retained austenite to be 5 or greater on a microstructure forming phase including bainitic ferrite+martensite+retained austenite, formed in cold-rolling forming, using a cold-rolled steel sheet manufactured from steel including a high content of Si, a 1-3% level, which has undergone a heating-cooling-tempering process through a continuous annealing process, hydrogen embrittlement properties may improve since wall boundary fracture is prevented in a process of observing a fractured surface after a tensile test of a steel component.
  • the above-described steel sheet is a steel sheet having properties of tensile strength after a heat treatment of less than 1500 Mpa, and it may be assumed that sensitivity for hydrogen embrittlement may be relatively lower than that of a martensite or tempered martensite single phase structure steel.
  • delayed fracture properties of a martensite single phase structure has been suggested as a method for improving fatigue lifespan of a wire rod component, and reference 3 suggests a method of preventing permeation of hydrogen into a component by controlling a B/Cr content ratio to be less than 0.04 in steel containing a high content of Si+Cr to form a boron (B) thickened layer on a surface layer of a steel component.
  • a temperature suggested for a tempering heat treatment for manufacturing a wire rod bolt component is a range of 350-550° C., which is a relatively high temperature tempering heat treatment, and it is likely that the amount of hydrogen which may remain in steel may be discharged externally in the process of the high temperature tempering heat treatment process, and it is assumed that heat treatment strength of the component according to the high temperature heat treatment may be relatively low such that sensitivity of hydrogen embrittlement may not be high.
  • the cited reference only suggests fracture strength of the component after a heat treatment, not final strength.
  • the cited references do not suggest a hot-rolled steel sheet having excellent impact resistance and rust resistance, in relation to which impact resistance and tensile strength of a steel sheet or a component in heating-rapid cooling or heating-rapid cooling-tempering heat treatment may be 1800 MPa or higher, and no pre-tensile breakage or pre-fracture of quenched steel occurs, a steel pipe, and a manufacturing method therefor.
