Definitions
- the present invention relates to cold rolled steel sheet with high strength and high formability.
- Automotive parts are required to satisfy two inconsistent necessities, viz. ease of forming and strength but in recent years a third requirement of improvement in fuel consumption is also bestowed upon automobiles in view of global environment concerns.
- automotive parts must be made of material having high formability in order that to fit in the criteria of ease of fit in the intricate automobile assembly and at same time have to improve strength for vehicle crashworthiness and durability while reducing weight of vehicle to improve fuel efficiency.
- EP3187608 is high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet having a tensile strength (TS) of 1 ,300 MPa or more and excellent in ductility and in-plane uniformity of material properties is provided, and a method for manufacturing the steel sheet is also provided.
- the high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has a specific composition including C, Si, Mn, etc.
- the high-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheet has a microstructure including martensite at an area fraction of 60% or more and 90% or less, polygonal ferrite at an area fraction of more than 5% and 40% or less, and retained austenite at an area fraction of less than 3% (including 0%).
- the average hardness of the martensite is 450 or more and 600 or less in terms of Vickers hardness, and the average crystal grain diameter of the martensite is 10 pm or less.
- the standard deviation of the crystal grain diameters of the martensite is 4.0 miti or less.
- EP3187608 is able to provide the tensile strength above 980MPa but does not have an elongation of 8% or more.
- EP3473741 is a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 950 MPa or more and good toughness and a method for manufacturing the same.
- the steel sheet has a specific composition and a metallographic structure containing: a ferrite area fraction of 30% or less (including 0%), a tempered martensite area fraction of 70% or more (including 100%), and a retained austenite area fraction of 4.5% or less (including 0%), wherein the average aspect ratio of an iron based carbide, precipitated in tempered martensite grains, having a grain size in the largest 10% is 3.5 or more.
- the steel of EP3473741 is not able to provide the ultimate tensile strength of 950 or more in both rolling as well as the transversal direction.
- the purpose of the present invention is to solve these problems by making available cold-rolled steel sheets that simultaneously have:
- the total elongation of the steel sheet is greater than or equal to 8% ,
- a yield strength from 700 MPa to 850MPa in both transversal direction as well as rolling direction and preferably from 720 MPa to 850MPa in both transversal direction as well as rolling direction.
- such steel can also have a good suitability for forming, in particular for rolling with good weldability and coat ability.
- Another object of the present invention is also to make available a method for the manufacturing of these sheets that is compatible with conventional industrial applications while being robust towards manufacturing parameters shifts.
- Carbon is present in the steel from 0.1% to 0.2%. Carbon is an element necessary for increasing the strength of a steel sheet by producing a low-temperature transformation phase such as martensite. A content less than 0.1% would not allow the formation of martensite there by tempered martensite, thereby decreasing strength as well as ductility. On the other hand, at a carbon content exceeding 0.2%, a weld zone and a heat-affected zone are significantly hardened, and thus the mechanical properties of the weld zone are impaired.
- the preferred limit for Carbon is from 0.12 to 0.19% and more preferably is from 0.13 to 0.17%.
- Manganese content of the steel of present invention is from 1.2% to 2.2%.
- Manganese is an element that imparts strength. An amount of at least about 1.2% by weight of manganese has been found in order to provide the strength and hardenability of the steel sheet. Thus, a higher percentage of Manganese such as 1.3% to 2.1% is preferred. But when manganese is more than 2.2%, this produces adverse effects such as slowing down the transformation of austenite to ferrite during the slow cooling after annealing, leading to a reduction of ductility. Moreover, a manganese content above 2.2% would also reduce the weldability of the present steel. Hence the preferred limit for the steel of present invention is from 1.3% to 2.1% and more preferably from 1.6% to 2.0%.
- Silicon is an essential element for the steel of present invention, Silicon is present from 0.05% to 0.6%. Silicon is added to the steel of present invention to impart strength by solid solution strengthening. Silicon plays a part in the formation of the microstructure by preventing the precipitation of carbides and by promoting the formation of martensite. But whenever the silicon content is more than 0.6%, surface properties and weldability of steel is deteriorated, therefore the Silicon content is preferred from 0.1% to 0.5% and more preferably 0.1% to 0.4%.
- Aluminum content of the present invention is from 0.001% to 0.1%.
- Aluminum is added to de-oxidise the steel of present invention.
- Aluminum is an alphageneous element. This can increase the formability and ductility of steel. In order to obtain such an effect, Aluminum content is required at 0.001% or more. However, when the Aluminum content exceeds 0.1%, Ac3 point increases beyond acceptable, austenite single phase is very difficult to achieve industrially hence hot rolling in complete austenite region cannot be performed. Therefore, Aluminum content must not be more than 0.1% .
- the preferable limit for the presence of Aluminum is from 0.001% to 0.09% and more preferably 0.001% to 0.06%.
- Chromium content of the steel of present invention is from 0.01% to 0.5%. Chromium is an essential element that provide strength and hardening to the steel, but when used above 0.5 % impairs surface finish of the steel.
- the preferred limit for Chromium is from 0.1% to 0.4% and more preferably 0.1% to 0.3%.
- Phosphorus content of the steel of present invention is limited to 0.09%.
- Phosphorus is an element which hardens in solid solution and also interferes with formation of carbides. Therefore a small amount of phosphorus, of at least 0.002% can be advantageous, but phosphorus has adverse effects also, such as a reduction of the spot weldability and the hot ductility, particularly due to its tendency to segregation at the grain boundaries or co-segregation with manganese. For these reasons, its content is preferably limited a maximum of 0.09%.
- Sulfur is not an essential element but may be contained as an impurity in steel up to 0.09%.
- the sulfur content is preferred as low as possible, but between 0.001% and 0.03% is preferred from the viewpoint of manufacturing cost. Further if higher sulfur is present in steel it combines to form sulfide especially with Mn and Ti and reduces their beneficial impact on the present invention.
- Nitrogen is limited to 0.09% in order to avoid ageing of material. Nitrogen can form nitrides or carbonitrides together with carbon, that can impart strength to the steel of present invention by precipitation strengthening with Vanadium and Niobium but whenever the presence of nitrogen is more than 0.09% it can form high amount of Aluminum Nitrides which are detrimental for the present invention hence the preferable limit for the nitrogen is between 0.001% and 0.01%.
- Molybdenum is an optional element that constitutes from 0% to 0.5% of the Steel of present invention; Molybdenum increases the hardenability of the steel of present invention and influences the transformation of austenite to Ferrite and Bainite during cooling after annealing. However, the addition of Molybdenum excessively increases the cost of the addition of alloy elements, so that for economic reasons its content is limited to 0.5%.
- Niobium is an optional element that can be added to the steel up to 0.1%, preferably between 0.0010 and 0.1%. It is suitable for forming carbonitrides to impart strength to the steel according to the invention by precipitation hardening. Because niobium delays the recrystallization during the heating, the microstructure formed at the end of the holding temperature and as a consequence after the complete annealing is finer, this leads to the hardening of the product. But, when the niobium content is above 0.1% the amount of carbo-nitrides is not favorable for the present invention as large amount of carbo-nitrides tend to reduce the ductility of the steel.
- Titanium is an optional element which may be added to the steel of the present invention up to 0.1%, preferably between 0.001% and 0.1%.
- niobium As niobium, it is involved in carbo-nitrides so plays a role in hardening. But it is also involved to form TiN appearing during solidification of the cast product. The amount of Ti is so limited to 0.1% to avoid coarse TiN detrimental for hole expansion. In case the titanium content is below 0.001% it does not impart any effect on the steel of present invention.
- Vanadium is an optional element which may be added to the steel of the present invention up to 0.1%, preferably from 0.001% to 0.01%. As niobium, it is involved in carbo-nitrides so plays a role in hardening. But it is also involved to form VN appearing during solidification of the cast product. The amount of V is so limited to 0.1% to avoid coarse VN detrimental for hole expansion. In case the vanadium content is below 0.001% it does not impart any effect on the steel of present invention.
- Nickel may be added as an optional element in an amount of 0% to 1% to increase the strength of the steel and to improve its toughness. A minimum of 0.01% is required to produce such effects. However, when its content is above 1%, Nickel causes ductility deterioration.
- Copper may be added as an optional element in an amount of 0% to 1% to increase the strength of the steel and to improve its corrosion resistance. A minimum of 0.01 % is required to produce such effects. However, when its content is above 1 %, copper causes hot ductility deterioration during hot rolling.
- Calcium is an optional element which may be added to the steel of present invention up to 0.005%, preferably from 0.001% to 0.005%. Calcium is added to steel of present invention as an optional element especially during the inclusion treatment. Calcium contributes towards the refining of the steel by arresting the detrimental sulphur content in globularizing it.
- Ce ⁇ 0.1%, B ⁇ 0.05%, Mg ⁇ 0.05% and Zr ⁇ 0.05% can be added individually or in combination in the following proportions: Ce ⁇ 0.1%, B ⁇ 0.05%, Mg ⁇ 0.05% and Zr ⁇ 0.05%. Up to the maximum content levels indicated, these elements make it possible to refine the grain during solidification.
- the remainder of the composition of the steel consists of iron and inevitable impurities resulting from processing.
- the microstructure of the steel sheet according to the invention comprises 60% to 85% of tempered martensite, 0% to 5% of residual austenite, 0% to 5% of fresh martensite and cumulative amount of ferrite and bainite of 15% to 38% in area fractions
- Tempered Martensite constitutes the matrix phase for the steel of present invention
- Tempered Martensite constitutes from 60% to 85% of the microstructure by area fraction.
- Tempered martensite is formed from the martensite which forms during the second step of cooling after annealing and particularly when the temperature drops below Ms temperature and more particularly from Ms-1G°C to 15°C.Such martensite is then tempered during the holding at a tempering temperature T emper from 150°C to 300°C.
- the martensite of the present invention imparts ductility and strength to such steel.
- the content of martensite is from 62% to 80% and more preferably from 62% to 75%.
- Fresh martensite is an optional microconstituent which is limited in the steel at an amount of from 0% to 5%, preferably from 0 to 2% and even better equal to 0%. Fresh martensite may form during the final cooling after tempering.
- the cumulated amount of ferrite and bainite represents from 15% to 38% of the microstructure.
- the cumulated amounts of bainite and ferrite is greater than 15% is mandatory to ensure a balance between strength and elongation in which presence of Bainite impart tensile strength of 980 MPa and Ferrite ensure the elongation.
- Bainite forms during the reheating before tempering. Bainite can impart strength to the steel but when present in a too big amount, it may adversely impact the yield strength of the steel.
- Ferrite imparts elongation as well as formability to the steel of the present invention. To ensure an elongation of 8% and preferably 9% or more it is preferred to have 10% of Ferrite. Ferrite is formed during the first step of cooling after annealing.
- the preferred limit for the cumulative presence ferrite and bainite is kept from 20% to 37% and more preferably from 25% to 36%.
- Residual Austenite is an optional microstructure that can be present from 0% to 5% in the steel.
- the presence of Residual austenite till 5% is not detrimental to the mechanical properties. Up to 5% Residual austenite imparts ductility and elongation to the steel. It is preferred residual austenite between 0% and 3% and more preferably from 0% to 2%.
- the microstructure of the cold rolled steel sheet is free from microstructural components such as pearlite and cementite.
- the steel according to the invention can be manufactured by any suitable methods. It is however preferable to use the method according to the invention that will be detailed, as a non-limitative example.
- Such preferred method consists in providing a semi-finished casting of steel with a chemical composition of the prime steel according to the invention.
- the casting can be done either into ingots or continuously in form of thin slabs or thin strips, i.e. with a thickness ranging from approximately 220mm for slabs up to several tens of millimeters for thin strip.
- a slab having the chemical composition according to the invention is manufactured by continuous casting wherein the slab optionally underwent a direct soft reduction during the continuous casting process to avoid central segregation and to ensure a ratio of local Carbon to nominal Carbon kept below 1.10.
- the slab provided by continuous casting process can be used directly at a high temperature after the continuous casting or may be first cooled to room temperature and then reheated for hot rolling.
- the temperature of the slab, which is subjected to hot rolling, must be at least 1000° C and must be below 1280°C.
- the temperature of the slab In case the temperature of the slab is lower than 1000° C, excessive load is imposed on a rolling mill and, further, the temperature of the steel may decrease to a Ferrite transformation temperature during finishing rolling, whereby the steel will be rolled in a state in which transformed Ferrite contained in the structure. Therefore, the temperature of the slab must be high enough so that hot rolling should be completed in the temperature range of Ac3 to Ac3+100°C. Reheating at temperatures above 1280°C must be avoided because they are industrially expensive.
- the sheet obtained in this manner is then cooled at a cooling rate of at least 20°C/s to the coiling temperature which must be below 650°C. Preferably, the cooling rate will be less than or equal to 200° C/s.
