本開示の実施形態に係る鋼線の具体例を説明する。
なお、本発明はこれらの例示に限定されるものではなく、請求の範囲によって示され、請求の範囲と均等の意味および範囲内でのすべての変更が含まれることが意図される。
本実施形態に係る鋼線は、縦断面において、表面領域が特定の組織を有する点を特徴の一つとする。図1を参照して、鋼線1は3次元直交座標系を用いて説明される。鋼線1の縦断面は、Y軸に平行で、かつ鋼線1の中心を通る断面である。表面領域10は、鋼線1の表面から鋼線1の直径の10%の深さまでの領域である。深さとは、鋼線1の表面から中心方向への距離である。本実施形態の鋼線1は、後述するように、表面領域10が特定の組織を有することで、表面領域10において特定の方向に配向した結晶粒が少ない。つまり、表面領域10の組織は、結晶方位がランダムに分布した状態である。その結果、本実施形態の鋼線1は、高強度でありながら、ねじり特性が向上する。
鋼線1は、0.9質量%以上1.1質量%以下の炭素(C)と、0.15質量%以上0.25質量%以下のシリコン(Si)と、0.25質量%以上0.35質量%以下のマンガン(Mn)と、0.15質量%以上0.25質量%以下のクロム(Cr)と、を含み、残部が鉄(Fe)、及び不可避不純物である鋼からなる。
鋼線1は、Cを0.9質量%以上1.1質量%以下含む。Cは鋼線1の強度を高める元素である。Cの含有量が多いほど、鋼線1の強度が向上する。一方、Cを過剰に含むと、鋼線1の靭性が低下する。Cの含有量は、例えば1.00質量%以上1.05質量%以下でもよい。
鋼線1の組成は、Siを0.15質量%以上0.25質量%以下含む。Siは、鋼の脱酸に有効な元素である。また、Siは、パーライト組織のフェライトに固溶して、鋼線1の強度を高める効果を有する。Siを過剰に含むと、鋼線1の靭性が低下する。Siの含有量は、例えば0.20質量%以上0.25質量%以下でもよく、0.20質量%以上0.23質量%以下でもよい。
鋼線1の組成は、Mnを0.25質量%以上0.35質量%以下含む。Mnは鋼の脱酸に有効な元素である。また、Mnは、鋼の焼入れ性を向上させ、鋼線1の強度を高める効果を有する。Mnを過剰に含むと、鋼線1の靭性が低下する。Mnの含有量は、例えば0.27質量%以上0.33質量%以下でもよく、0.30質量%でもよい。
鋼線1の組成は、Crを0.15質量%以上0.25質量%以下含む。Crは、パーライト組織のラメラ間隔を微細化することによって、鋼線1の強度を高める効果がある。Crを過剰に含むと、パーライト変態が起こり難くなる。Crの含有量は、例えば0.20質量%以上0.25質量%以下でもよく、0.20質量%以上0.21質量%以下でもよい。
鋼線1の組成は不可避不純物を含んでもよい。不可避不純物は、例えばリン(P)、硫黄(S)、及び銅(Cu)である。P及びSのそれぞれの含有量は0.025質量%以下が好ましい。
鋼線1の形状は適宜選択できる。本実施形態の鋼線1は、横断面が円形状の丸線である。鋼線1の横断面は、Y軸に直交する断面である。鋼線1の横断面の形状は非円形でもよい。非円形は、例えば多角形、楕円形である。多角形は、例えば長方形、六角形である。長方形には、正方形も含まれる。
鋼線1の直径は0.05mm以上0.45mm以下である。鋼線1の直径とは、鋼線1の横断面の面積と等しい面積を有する円の直径である。このような直径を有する鋼線1は、タイヤなどの補強材に好適に使用できる。鋼線1の直径は、0.15mm以上0.42mm以下でもよく、0.18mm以上0.30mm以下でもよい。
鋼線1の引張強さは3900MPa以上4700MPa以下である。このような引張強さを有する鋼線1は、高強度であり、タイヤなどの補強材に好適に使用できる。鋼線1の引張強さは、引張試験機を用いて一定の速度で鋼線1を引っ張り、鋼線1が破断するまでの最大応力である。例えば、鋼線1から取り出した200mmの試験片を、100mm/分の引張速度で引っ張り、試験片が破断するまでの引張強さを測定すればよい。鋼線1の引張強さは、3900MPa以上4400MPa以下でもよい。
鋼線1の組織は主にパーライト組織である。鋼線1は、上述した組成を有し、パーライト組織を有する鋼からなることで、高強度と靭性とを兼ね備えることができる。
(集合組織の合計割合)
本実施形態の鋼線1は、表面領域10において、特定の結晶面が特定の方位に配向した集合組織の割合が小さく、結晶方位がランダムに配向した組織を有する。表面領域10は、鋼線1の表面から鋼線1の直径の10%の深さまでの領域である。表面領域10は、鋼線1の表面から深さ5μm以上20μm以下の領域でもよい。
表面領域10の組織は、縦断面において、{100}面の集積度B100と{111}面の集積度B111との合計集積度Bが、例えば8.00以上9.70以下でもよい。合計集積度Bが8.00以上9.70以下である場合、高いねじり特性と高い引張強さとを両立できる。合計集積度Bは、8.10以上9.60以下、8.40以上9.00以下でもよい。集積度B100及び集積度B111はそれぞれ、例えば4.00以上5.50以下である。
本実施形態の鋼線1は、タイヤなどのゴム製品に埋め込まれる補強材に好適に使用できる。タイヤ以外のゴム製品は、例えば、コンベアベルト、エスカレータのハンドレール、ホースなどである。本実施形態の鋼線1は、高い引張強さを有することから、細くても強度を確保できるので、ゴム製品の軽量化を図ることができる。本実施形態の鋼線1は、高いねじり特性を有することから、撚り加工した際に鋼線1が断線し難く、鋼線1にデラミネーションが発生したりし難い。また、ゴム製品の使用中に鋼線1にねじれが発生しても、鋼線1が断線し難く、鋼線1にデラミネーションが発生したりし難い。
実施形態の鋼線1は、実施形態に係る鋼線の製造方法によって製造できる。実施形態の鋼線の製造方法は、第一工程と、第二工程と、第三工程と、第四工程と、第五工程とを備える。以下、各工程を詳しく説明する。
第一工程は、鋼からなる素材を準備する工程である。鋼の組成は、0.9質量%以上1.1質量%以下の炭素と、0.15質量%以上0.25質量%以下のシリコンと、0.25質量%以上0.35質量%以下のマンガンと、0.15質量%以上0.25質量%以下のクロムと、を含み、残部が鉄、及び不可避不純物である。素線の組成は、製造する鋼線の組成と同じである。素材は、連続鋳造法、連続鋳造圧延法などの方法により製造されたものである。素材は、例えば熱間圧延により、所定の直径となるように加工してもよい。素材の直径は、例えば4mm以上6mm以下である。素材の形状は、例えば、横断面が円形状の丸線である。
第二工程は、素材に第一伸線加工を行う工程である。第一伸線加工は、ダイスを使用して素材の直径が所定の直径になるまで、1回又は複数回行う。第一伸線加工は、例えば湿式で行う。第一伸線加工の1回あたりの減面率は、例えば10%以上20%以下である。1回あたりの減面率とは、素材が1つのダイスを通過するとき、ダイスを通過する前の素材の断面積とダイスを通過した後の素材の断面積との差を、ダイスを通過する前の素材の断面積で割った割合である。第二工程により、第一伸線加工が施された第一線材が得られる。第一線材の直径は、例えば1mm以上2.5mm以下である。
第三工程は、第一伸線加工が施された第一線材にパテンティング処理を行う工程である。パテンティング処理は、第一線材を構成する鋼をパーライト組織にするための熱処理である。パテンティング処理は、第一線材を加熱して鋼をオーステナイト組織にした後、第一線材を冷却して鋼をパーライト組織にする。具体的には、パテンティング処理は、まず、第一線材をオーステナイト化温度域に加熱した状態で一定時間保持して、鋼をオーステナイト化する。オーステナイト化温度域は、オーステナイト化温度以上の温度域、即ちAcm点以上の温度域である。オーステナイト化温度域は、例えば950℃以上1000℃以下である。オーステナイト化温度域の保持時間は、例えば5秒以上10秒以下である。次に、オーステナイト化した第一線材をパーライト変態温度域まで急冷して一定時間保持し、鋼をパーライト化する。パーライト変態温度域は、オーステナイト化温度よりも低く、マルテンサイト変態を開始する温度よりも高い温度域、即ちMs点以上の温度域である。パーライト変態温度域は、例えば500℃以上600℃以下である。パーライト変態温度域の保持時間は、例えば3秒以上10秒以下である。このようなパテンティング処理により、鋼が微細なパーライト組織になる。第一線材は、パーライト変態温度域に保持された後、常温まで冷却される。オーステナイト化する処理では、脱炭の発生を抑制するために、不活性ガス雰囲気中で第一線材を加熱してもよい。
第四工程は、パテンティング処理が施された第一線材に第二伸線加工を行う工程である。第二伸線加工は、ダイスを使用して第一線材の直径が製造する鋼線の直径に近い直径になるまで、1回又は複数回行う。第二伸線加工の条件は、第一伸線加工の条件と同様である。第四工程により、第二伸線加工が施された第二線材が得られる。第二線材の直径は、鋼線の直径よりも少し小さい直径である。第二線材の直径は、例えば0.05mm超0.45mm以下である。
第五工程は、第二伸線加工が施された第二線材にスキンパスを行う工程である。スキンパスは非常に小さい減面率で行う圧延加工である。スキンパスを施すことで、鋼線の表面領域における結晶粒の配向性を変化させることができる。この工程により、表面領域が特定の組織を有する本実施形態の鋼線1を得ることができる。
鋼線の試料を作製した。作製した鋼線の試料を評価した。
試料No.1からNo.15の鋼線は、上述した鋼線の製造方法によって作製した。ここでは、表1に示す組成A又は組成Bの鋼からなる素材を準備した。表1に示す各元素の含有量は、鋼に含まれる元素の合計含有量を100質量%とした値である。表1中、「Fe」の欄の「bal.」は、残部であることを表す。素材は、鋼を溶解鋳造した後、線状に熱間圧延して製造されたものである。素材の形状は丸線である。素材の直径は5.0mmである。
〈組織の分析〉
各試料の鋼線の組織を分析した。各試料の鋼線から分析用の測定片を作製した。測定片の長さは20mmである。測定片を樹脂に埋めた後、クロスセクションポリッシャを用いて測定片に断面加工を行い、鋼線の縦断面を露出させた。クロスセクションポリッシャの条件は、加速電圧:6kV、照射電流:130μAとした。断面の仕上げ加工は、加速電圧を1kVとした。
測定片の縦断面をFE-SEMによって観察し、FE-SEMに備えるEBSDによって表面領域の結晶方位を解析した。使用したEBSDは、Oxford Instruments社製Symmetryである。観察条件は、加速電圧:15kV、照射電流:10nAに設定した。EBSDの条件は、積算時間:0.3m秒、ビニング:4×4、作動距離(WD):15mm、ステップサイズ:0.04μm、チルト角:70°に設定した。観察した領域と観察視野のサイズは、組織を分析した範囲と同じである。
観察視野において、<100>方位の集合組織の割合A100と、<110>方位の集合組織の割合A110と、<111>方位の集合組織の割合A111をそれぞれ解析ソフトウェアによって求めた。そして、割合A100と割合A110と割合A111との合計割合Aを求めた。その結果を表2に示す。
更に、解析ソフトウェアによって、{100}面の極点図と{111}面の極点図を取得した。それぞれの極点図から、{100}面の集積度B100と{111}面の集積度B111を求めた。そして、集積度B100と集積度B111との合計集積度Bを求めた。その結果を表2に示す。
各試料の鋼線の引張強さを測定した。鋼線を切断して引張試験用の試験片を作製した。試験片の長さは200mmである。引張試験機を用いて、試験片を100mm/分の引張速度で引っ張り、試験片が破断するまでの引張強さを測定した。その結果を表2に示す。
各試料の鋼線のねじり特性を評価した。鋼線を切断してねじり試験用の試験片を作製した。試験片の長さは直径の100倍、即ち直径×100mmである。電動式ねじり試験機を用いて、試験片に張力をかけた状態で試験片を一方向にねじり、試験片が破断するまでのねじり回数を測定した。ねじり回数は1回転を1回とカウントする。このねじり回数を捻回値と呼ぶ。ねじり速度は30rpmとした。ねじり速度は1分間に回転する回数である。張力は鋼線の降伏応力の5%以下となるように設定した。鋼線の降伏応力は、引張試験によって求められる。各試料の捻回値を表2に示す。また、デラミネーションが発生するまでのねじり回数を測定した。ねじり試験中にデラミネーションが発生すると、ねじり試験機のトルクが低下する。このトルクを測定することでデラミネーションの発生の有無を確認できる。各試料におけるデラミネーションが発生するまでのねじり回数を、表2の「デラミネーション発生回数」の欄に示す。デラミネーションが発生せずに破断に至った場合は、「デラミネーション発生回数」の欄は「-」とした。
