Definitions

  • Hot stamping is a technique for pressing a blank that is heated to a temperature at which the single-phase region of austenite is formed (Ac 3 point) or more (for example, heated to about 900° C.) and then rapidly cooling the blank in a die at the same time as forming to perform quenching. According to this technique, it is possible to manufacture a press-formed product having high shape fixability and high strength.
  • Electrode sticking a phenomenon in which a copper electrode and plating provided on the surface of the formed product are melted and adhered to each other
  • Electrode sticking is not preferable because it could cause a poor weld or it will inevitably cause manufacturing downtime to replace the electrode. Electrode sticking during spot welding is not considered in Patent Document 1.
  • the present inventor investigated the cause of electrode sticking during spot welding. As a result, the present inventor found that electrode sticking during spot welding is further suppressed as the number of voids present in a zinc-plated layer is smaller since electrode sticking during spot welding is greatly affected by voids (vacancy) present in the zinc-plated layer (a hot-dip zinc-plated layer obtained after hot stamping) of a hot-stamping formed body. The present inventor thought that an overcurrent occurs by a narrow electric current path caused by the voids in the zinc-plated layer, and the overcurrent causes overheating which makes electrode sticking between an electrode and zinc plating.
  • the present inventor thought that voids formed in the hot-stamping formed body are caused by a difference in thermal contraction between a base metal and a hot-dip zinc-plated layer and a difference in thermal contraction between different phases present in a plating layer during hot stamping forming.
  • the present inventor investigated a method of reducing a difference in thermal contraction during hot stamping forming.
  • Si is an element that improves the fatigue property of the hot-stamping formed body. Further, Si is also an element that improves a hot-dip galvanizing property, particularly plating wettability, by forming a stable oxide film on the surface of the steel sheet during recrystallization annealing.
  • the Si content is set to 0.10% or more.
  • the Si content is preferably 0.15% or more or 0.18% or more.
  • Si contained in steel is diffused during heating at the time of hot stamping and forms oxide on the surface of the steel sheet. The oxide formed on the surface of the steel sheet deteriorates a phosphate treatment property.
  • Si is also an element that raises the Ac 3 point of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet.
  • a heating temperature during hot stamping needs to be raised in order to sufficiently austenitize the steel sheet and a heating temperature during hot stamping exceeds the evaporation temperature of the hot-dip zinc-plated layer.
  • the Si content is set to 1.50% or less.
  • the Si content is preferably 1.40% or less, 1.20% or less, or 1.00% or less.
  • Mn is an element that improves the hardenability of steel.
  • the Mn content is set to 0.5% or more to improve hardenability and obtain the desired strength of the hot-stamping formed body.
  • the Mn content is preferably 1.0% or more or 1.5% or more.
  • the Mn content is set to 2.5% or less.
  • the Mn content is preferably 2.1% or less or 2.0% or less.
  • Al is an element that deoxidizes molten steel to suppress the formation of oxide serving as the origin of fracture. Further, Al is also an element that has an action of suppressing an alloying reaction between Zn and Fe and an action of improving the corrosion resistance of the hot-stamping formed body.
  • the sol.Al content is set to 0.001% or more.
  • the sol.Al content is preferably 0.005% or more.
  • the sol.Al content is set to 0.100% or less.
  • the sol.Al content is preferably 0.090% or less, 0.070% or less, or 0.050% or less.
  • sol.Al means acid-soluble Al, and indicates solute Al that is present in steel in the state of a solid solution.
  • Ti is an element that increases oxidation resistance after hot-dip galvanizing. Further, Ti is also an element that improves the hardenability of the steel sheet by combining with N present in steel to form nitride (TiN) and suppressing the formation of nitride (BN) from B. In order to obtain these effects, the Ti content is set to 0.010% or more. The Ti content is preferably 0.020% or more. On the other hand, in a case where the Ti content is excessive, the Ac 3 point is raised and a heating temperature during hot stamping is raised. For this reason, productivity may deteriorate, and it may be difficult to secure a F phase since formation into a Fe—Zn solid solution may be facilitated.
  • the S content is an element that is contained as an impurity and is an element that forms sulfide in steel to cause the deterioration of the toughness of the hot-stamping formed body and to deteriorate a delayed fracture resistance property. For this reason, the S content is set to 0.0100% or less.
  • the S content is preferably 0.0050% or less. It is preferable that the S content is 0%.
  • the S content may be set to 0.0001% or more.
  • the P is an element that is included as an impurity, and is an element that segregates at a grain boundary to deteriorate the toughness and delayed fracture resistance property of steel. For this reason, the P content is set to 0.100% or less.
  • the P content is preferably 0.050% or less. It is preferable that the P content is 0%. However, since cost required to remove P is increased in a case where the P content is to be excessively reduced, the P content may be set to 0.001% or more.
  • the remainder of the chemical composition of the steel sheet of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet according to this embodiment is Fe and impurities. Elements, which are unavoidably mixed from a steel raw material or scrap and/or during the manufacture of steel and are allowed in a range where the properties of the hot-stamping formed body obtained from the hot stamping of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet according to this embodiment do not deteriorate, are exemplified as the impurities.
  • the steel sheet of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet according to this embodiment may contain the following elements as arbitrary elements instead of a part of Fe.
  • the contents of the following arbitrary elements in a case where the following arbitrary elements are not contained are 0%.
  • Nb has an action of forming carbide to refine crystal grains during hot stamping. In a case where crystal grains are refined, the toughness of steel is increased. In order to reliably obtain this effect, it is preferable that the Nb content is set to 0.02% or more. However, in a case where the Nb content is excessively high, the above-mentioned effect may be saturated and the hardenability of steel may deteriorate. Accordingly, the Nb content is set to 0.05% or less.
  • V 0% to 0.50%
  • V is an element that finely forms carbonitride in steel to improve strength. In order to reliably obtain this effect, it is preferable that the V content is set to 0.005% or more. On the other hand, in a case where the V content exceeds 0.50%, the toughness of steel deteriorates during spot welding and cracks are likely to occur. For this reason, the V content is set to 0.50% or less.
  • Cr is an element that improves the hardenability of steel. In order to reliably obtain this effect, it is preferable that the Cr content is set to 0.10% or more. On the other hand, in a case where the Cr content exceeds 0.50%, Cr carbide is formed in steel and it is difficult for Cr carbide to be dissolved during heating of hot stamping, so that hardenability deteriorates. For this reason, the Cr content is set to 0.50% or less.
  • Ni is an element that has an effect of improving the toughness of steel, an effect of suppressing the embrittlement of steel caused by liquid Zn during heating of hot stamping, and an effect of improving the hardenability of steel.
  • the Ni content is set to 0.01% or more.
  • the Ni content is set to 2.00% or less.
  • the chemical composition of the steel sheet described above may be measured by a general analysis method.
  • the chemical composition of the steel sheet described above may be measured using inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES).
  • C and S may be measured using a combustion-infrared absorption method and N may be measured using an inert gas fusion-thermal conductivity method.
  • sol.Al may be measured by ICP-AES using a filtrate that is obtained in a case where a sample is decomposed with an acid by heating.
  • the chemical composition may be analyzed after the hot-dip zinc-plated layer provided on the surface of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet is removed by mechanical grinding.
  • the steel sheet of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet according to this embodiment has the above-mentioned chemical composition, and has an average grain size of 4.0 ⁇ m or less and a standard deviation of grain sizes of 2.0 ⁇ m or less in a surface layer region thereof.
  • the surface layer region of the steel sheet of the hot-dip zinc-plated steel sheet according to this embodiment will be described below.
  • Surface layer region an average grain size of 4.0 ⁇ m or less and a standard deviation of grain sizes of 2.0 ⁇ m or less
  • the surface layer region refers to a region between the surface of the steel sheet and a position that is away from the surface of the steel sheet in a depth direction by a distance of 25 ⁇ m.
  • an average grain size in this surface layer region exceeds 4.0 ⁇ m or the standard deviation of grain sizes exceeds 2.0 ⁇ m, it is not possible to suppress the evaporation of zinc present in the hot-dip zinc-plated layer in the heating during hot stamping. Accordingly, a lot of voids are formed in the hot-stamping formed body. As a result, desired spot weldability cannot be obtained in the hot-stamping formed body.
  • an average grain size is set to 4.0 ⁇ m or less and the standard deviation of grain sizes is set to 2.0 ⁇ m or less. Since a smaller average grain size in the surface layer region of the steel sheet is more preferable, an average grain size in the surface layer region of the steel sheet may be set to 3.5 ⁇ m or less or 3.0 ⁇ m or less. Further, since a smaller standard deviation of grain sizes in the surface layer region of the steel sheet is more preferable, the standard deviation of grain sizes in the surface layer region of the steel sheet may be set to 1.8 ⁇ m or less or 1.5 ⁇ m or less.
  • the lower limit of an average grain size in the surface layer region of the steel sheet does not need to be particularly limited, but may be set to 1.5 ⁇ m. Further, the lower limit of the standard deviation of grain sizes in the surface layer region of the steel sheet does not need to be particularly limited, but may be set to 1.0 ⁇ m.
  • EBSP-OIM electron back scatter diffraction pattern-orientation image microscopy
  • an analysis is made in at least 5 visual fields in a region having a size of 40 ⁇ m ⁇ 30 ⁇ m with a magnification of 1200.
  • a spot where an angle difference between adjacent measurement points is 5° or more is defined as a grain boundary, and the equivalent circle diameters of crystal grains are calculated and are regarded as grain sizes.
  • the average value of the obtained grain sizes of crystal grains is calculated, so that an average grain size in the surface layer region is obtained.
