- Patent Documents 1 to 3 In hot-rolled steel sheets as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3, when the metal structure is made into a martensite single phase or a structure closer to a martensite single phase in order to increase the strength, uneven cooling during cooling or during transformation may occur. The shape of the steel sheet may collapse due to transformation plasticity, etc., and in such a case, it becomes difficult to maintain sufficient flatness in the obtained hot rolled steel sheet.
- Patent Document 3 a high-strength hot-rolled steel plate with a uniform yield strength YS in the width direction is studied, but there is no specific method for improving the flatness of the high-strength hot-rolled steel plate. No consideration has been given.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet with improved flatness using a novel configuration.
- the present inventors conducted a study focusing particularly on the metal structure in the width direction of a hot rolled steel sheet.
- the present inventors succeeded in ensuring high strength by changing the metal structure of a hot-rolled steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition into a structure with tempered martensite as the main phase, while also making the structure uniform in the width direction. It has been found that by distributing the strength in the width direction, it is possible to reduce the strength variation in the width direction. In this way, by reducing the strength variation in the width direction, it is possible to provide a hot rolled steel sheet in which the flatness in the width direction of the hot rolled steel sheet is significantly improved.

- the metal structure of a hot rolled steel sheet is made into a martensite single phase or a structure closer to a martensite single phase in order to increase the strength, the metal structure is affected by uneven cooling during cooling and transformation plasticity during transformation. In such a case, it becomes difficult to maintain sufficient flatness in the resulting hot rolled steel sheet.
- warpage may occur in the width direction of the steel plate (direction perpendicular to the rolling direction and the plate thickness direction). If a steel plate is warped in the width direction, it may cause shape defects or cracks during forming when such a steel plate is used to form a longitudinal member.
- An existing method for improving such warpage is correction (flattening treatment) using a leveler or the like.
- the cooling rate after finish rolling is high, the controllability of the amount of water used for cooling deteriorates, and uneven cooling becomes noticeable as some parts are locally overcooled. As a result, thermal stress is generated due to temperature unevenness in the width direction of the steel plate, and warpage occurs in the width direction of the steel plate. Therefore, from the viewpoint of ensuring flatness, it is not necessarily appropriate to increase the cooling rate after finish rolling excessively. On the other hand, in order to obtain a martensite single-phase structure or a structure closer to a martensite single-phase structure from the viewpoint of increasing strength, it is necessary to cool at a cooling rate higher than the critical cooling rate.
- the present inventors selected an appropriate steel composition and conducted studies focusing on the metallographic structure in the width direction of the hot-rolled steel sheet.
- Ta the present inventors achieved high strength, more specifically, high strength of 980 MPa or more, by changing the metal structure of a hot rolled steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition to a structure with tempered martensite as the main phase. I found out that it can be done.
- the present inventors thought that it would be effective to uniformly distribute the structure including such tempered martensite as the main phase even in the width direction, and conducted further studies.
- the metal structure at the 1/4 position of the plate thickness can be a structure of tempered martensite: 95% or more in area%.
- the present inventors have determined that the strength variation in the width direction of the hot rolled steel sheet can be sufficiently reduced to a level where the difference between the maximum and minimum tensile strengths at all positions in the width direction is 30 MPa or less.
- the flatness of the hot rolled steel sheet can be significantly improved in relation to the uniformity of the metallographic structure in the entire width direction and the reduction of such strength variations. I discovered that it can be done.
- the amount of water sprayed onto the top surface of the steel sheet is generally greater than the amount of water sprayed onto the bottom surface of the steel sheet. Therefore, by uniformly cooling the upper and lower surfaces of the steel plate after finish rolling to a temperature that corresponds to the end temperature of martensitic transformation, uniformity of the metal structure and reduction of strength variations in the entire width direction can be achieved as described above.
- the fact that it is possible to significantly improve the flatness of a hot rolled steel sheet despite its high strength was revealed for the first time by the present inventors.
- the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet according to the embodiment of the present invention has sufficient flatness in the hot-rolled state, there is no need for pre-processing using a leveler or the like. Such pre-processing does not consume part of the inherent ductility of the steel sheet. In this regard, it is possible to reduce the risk of forming defects during pressing of the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet, and it is also possible to significantly improve productivity. Therefore, it goes without saying that the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet according to the embodiment of the present invention is particularly useful in the automobile field, but can also be used very effectively in other fields.

If the heating temperature is less than 1220° C., the alloying elements will not be fully dissolved in the slab, leaving coarse alloy carbides, which may cause embrittlement cracking during hot rolling. For this reason, the heating temperature is 1220°C or higher, preferably 1230°C or higher.
- the upper limit of the heating temperature is not particularly limited, but is preferably 1300° C. or lower from the viewpoint of the capacity of the heating equipment and productivity.
- the heated slab is subjected to rough rolling before finish rolling in order to adjust the plate thickness and the like.
- the exit temperature of the rough rolling is set at 1100 to 1100°C.
- the temperature is 1200°C, preferably 1150 to 1200°C. If the exit temperature of rough rolling is less than 1100°C, it becomes difficult to obtain an exit temperature of 940°C or higher in finish rolling following rough rolling. Moreover, when the exit temperature of rough rolling exceeds 1200° C., crystal grains may become coarse and the toughness of the obtained hot rolled steel sheet may decrease.
- the rough rolled slab is then subjected to finish rolling.
- the entry temperature (F0) of finish rolling is 1000 to 1100°C
- the exit temperature (FT) of finish rolling is 940 to 1000°C
- the finishing temperature is 1000 to 1100°C.
- the total rolling reduction ratio is 85 to 95%.
- the exit temperature of finish rolling is important in terms of controlling the metallographic structure of the steel sheet. More specifically, if the exit temperature during finish rolling is low, the metal structure may become non-uniform and formability may deteriorate. For this reason, the exit temperature of finish rolling is set to 940° C. or higher. On the other hand, in order to suppress coarsening of austenite, the exit temperature of finish rolling is set to 1000° C. or less.
- the finish-rolled steel plate is first cooled at a critical cooling rate of Vc+10°C/s or more, 60°C/s, in the temperature range from the finish rolling exit temperature (FT) to the martensitic transformation start temperature Ms+50°C.
- Primary cooling is performed at the following average cooling rate.
- the average cooling rate of primary cooling is less than the critical cooling rate Vc + 10°C/s, the total amount of at least one of ferrite, upper bainite, and pearlite will exceed 5 area%, and the desired strength may not be achieved. be.
- the average cooling rate of primary cooling is more than 60° C./s, the cooling rate is so fast that it becomes difficult to uniformly cool the steel plate in the width direction, resulting in uneven cooling in the width direction.
- the desired metallographic structure may not be obtained in the width direction in the finally obtained hot rolled steel sheet, and/or the tensile strength may vary widely in the width direction.
- the shape collapses and warpage occurs in the width direction of the steel plate, making it impossible to achieve sufficient flatness. Therefore, the average cooling rate of the primary cooling is greater than or equal to the critical cooling rate Vc+10°C/s and less than or equal to 60°C/s, preferably greater than or equal to the critical cooling rate Vc+12°C/s and less than or equal to 60°C/s.
- the Ms point (° C.) is determined by the following formula 1.
- Ms 823-350[C]-40[Mn]-35[V]-20[Cr]-17[Ni]-10[Cu]-10[Mo]-10[W]+15[Co]+30[Al ]-273 ...
- [C], [Mn], [V], [Cr], [Ni], [Cu], [Mo], [W], [Co] and [Al] are the respective elements in the steel.
- the content (mass%) is 0 if the element is not contained.
- the critical cooling rate Vc (° C.) is also a hardenability index at which the martensite area ratio is 90% or more, and can be expressed by the following formulas 2 and 3.
- logVc 3.69-0.75 ⁇ (2.7[C]+0.4[Si]+[Mn]+0.45[Ni]+0.8[Cr]+[Mo]).
- [C], [Si], [Mn], [Ni], [Cr] and [Mo] are the contents (mass%) of each element in the steel, and are 0 if no element is contained.
- the solid solution B amount corresponds to the amount obtained by subtracting the B amount consumed to form boron nitride (BN) from the B content contained in the steel.
- the amount of solid solution N (mass %) that can form BN can be reduced by including Ti in the steel and fixing it as TiN. Therefore, the amount of solid solution B can be calculated using equations 4 and 5 below.
- Solid solution B amount 10.81 ⁇ ([B] / 10.81 - solid solution N amount / 14.01) ... Formula 4
- Solid solution N amount 14.01 ⁇ ([N]/14.01-[Ti]/47.88) ...
- the metal structure at 1/4 plate thickness position is expressed as area% of tempered marten.
- Site It becomes impossible to organize more than 95% of the sites. As a result, it becomes impossible to sufficiently reduce the strength variation in the width direction to a level where the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value among the tensile strengths at all positions in the width direction is 30 MPa or less.
- the above-mentioned upper and lower cooling ratio does not mean the ratio of the amount of cooling water on the entire upper surface and the amount of cooling water on the entire lower surface in the section from FT to (Ms+50)°C. More specifically, in this manufacturing method, the section from FT to (Ms+50)°C is divided into sections every 10 m, and the upper and lower cooling ratios are calculated for each section from the amount of cooling water on the top surface and the amount of cooling water on the bottom surface. The upper and lower cooling ratios of each section calculated in this way are all controlled within the range of 0.8 to 1.2.
- each section has a plurality of cooling water nozzles arranged above and below the steel plate along the traveling direction of the steel plate, so these cooling water nozzles can be appropriately controlled based on on/off control. By injecting, it is possible to relatively easily control the upper and lower cooling ratio of each section within the range of 0.8 to 1.2.
- the average cooling rate of secondary cooling is less than 50° C./s, it may not be possible to obtain a desired metal structure in the width direction of the steel plate, and strength variations in the width direction may not be sufficiently reduced.
- the average cooling rate of secondary cooling exceeds 120°C/s, autotempering cannot be promoted, and fresh martensite may remain in an amount exceeding 5 area% in the final metal structure. be. In addition to or in place of this, due to such rapid cooling, the controllability of the amount of water used for cooling deteriorates, and uneven cooling occurs in the width direction due to local overcooling of parts. .
- the tensile strength of the finally obtained hot rolled steel sheet increases in the width direction, the shape of the hot rolled steel sheet collapses, and the steel sheet warps in the width direction, resulting in insufficient strength. It becomes impossible to achieve flatness.
- the metal structure at 1/4 plate thickness position is expressed as area% of tempered marten.
- Site It becomes impossible to organize more than 95% of the sites. As a result, it becomes impossible to sufficiently reduce the strength variation in the width direction to a level where the difference between the maximum value and the minimum value among the tensile strengths at all positions in the width direction is 30 MPa or less.
- the above-mentioned upper and lower cooling ratio does not mean the ratio of the amount of cooling water on the entire upper surface and the amount of cooling water on the entire lower surface in the range from (Ms+50)° C. to 200° C. More specifically, in this manufacturing method, the section from (Ms + 50) °C to 200 °C is divided into sections every 10 m, and the upper and lower cooling ratios are calculated from the amount of cooling water on the upper surface and the amount of cooling water on the lower surface for each section, The upper and lower cooling ratios of each section calculated in this way are all controlled within the range of 0.8 to 1.2.
- each section has a plurality of cooling water nozzles arranged above and below the steel plate along the direction of movement of the steel plate, so these cooling water By appropriately injecting the nozzle based on on/off control, it is possible to relatively easily control the upper and lower cooling ratio of each section within the range of 0.8 to 1.2.
- Winding process The secondarily cooled steel plate is finally wound up at 50 to 100°C in a winding process. If the coiling temperature is too low, the hot-rolled steel sheet may become hard and brittle, and excessive water cooling or the like will be required, resulting in a decrease in productivity. Therefore, the winding temperature is 50°C or higher, preferably 80°C or higher.
- the tempered martensite in the metal structure at the 1/4 plate thickness position is 95% or more in area%, and martensite is the main While achieving high strength due to the phase structure, more specifically, a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, the difference between the maximum and minimum tensile strengths at all positions in the width direction is surely 30 MPa or less. can be controlled.
- the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet manufactured by the above-mentioned manufacturing method has uniform characteristics in the width direction and has very good flatness in spite of its high strength.
- the above-mentioned high strength and flatness can be achieved in hot-rolled steel sheets that have not been subjected to flattening treatment using a leveler, for example, in hot-rolled steel sheets immediately after production, so such flattening treatment ( Pre-processing) does not consume part of the steel sheet's inherent ductility.
- the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet is particularly useful in the automobile field, but can also be used very effectively in other fields.
- high-strength hot-rolled steel sheets according to embodiments of the present invention were manufactured under various conditions, and the characteristics and flatness in the width direction of the obtained high-strength hot-rolled steel sheets were investigated.
- molten steel was cast by a continuous casting method to form slabs having various chemical compositions shown in Table 1, these slabs were heated under the conditions shown in Table 2, and then hot rolled.
- Hot rolling was carried out by performing rough rolling and finish rolling, and the exit temperature of rough rolling, the entry temperature (F0), exit temperature (FT), and total rolling reduction of finish rolling were as shown in Table 2. Met.
- the finish-rolled steel plate was first cooled in a temperature range from the finish rolling exit temperature (FT) to the martensitic transformation start temperature Ms + 50°C, and then Ms + 50°C. Secondary cooling was performed in a temperature range from 200°C to 200°C.
- the section from FT to (Ms+50)°C and the section from (Ms+50)°C to 200°C are divided into sections every 10m, and the amount of cooling water on the top surface and the amount on the bottom surface are determined for each section.
- the upper and lower cooling ratios were calculated from the amount of cooling water, and cooling was performed so that the upper and lower cooling ratios of each section calculated in this manner were controlled within a predetermined range.
- the upper and lower cooling ratios in primary cooling and secondary cooling in Table 2 indicate the one with the largest absolute value of the difference from the cooling ratio 1 among the upper and lower cooling ratios of each section in primary cooling and secondary cooling.
- the secondary cooled steel plate was rolled up under the conditions shown in Table 2 to obtain a hot rolled steel plate having a thickness of about 2.3 to 3.2 mm and a total width of 1200 mm.
- the properties of the obtained hot rolled steel sheet were measured and evaluated by the following methods.
- the prior austenite grain size in the metal structure was determined as follows. First, a 200 ⁇ m x 200 ⁇ m area in the L cross section of a steel piece sampled from the surface of a hot rolled steel sheet at a position 1/4 of the sheet thickness was analyzed by SEM/EBSD. More specifically, a predetermined crystal orientation transformation was performed on the martensite structure obtained by SEM/EBSD to obtain an image in which the prior austenite grains were reconstructed, and then the equivalent circle diameter was determined from the prior austenite grains in the image. . This operation was performed for a total of 10 prior austenite grains, and the obtained 10 circle equivalent diameters were averaged to determine the prior austenite grain size.
- Evaluation of flatness was performed as follows. First, the obtained hot-rolled steel plate is placed on a surface plate so that at least a part of one of the plate surfaces (lower surface) is in contact with the surface plate, and then the height of the hot-rolled steel sheet from the surface plate is the highest. The distance from the surface plate at a high position to the lower surface of the hot-rolled steel plate was measured, and the obtained measured value was determined as the maximum warp height H (mm) of the hot-rolled steel plate. As for evaluation of flatness, a case where the maximum warp height H was within 10 mm was judged as a pass, and a case where the maximum warp height H exceeded 10 mm was judged as a failure.
- Comparative Example 16 since the Mn content was high, it is considered that martensite was not sufficiently tempered even by auto-tempering during cooling of the steel sheet due to improvement in hardenability. As a result, the proportion of fresh martensite (fM) in the metal structure increased, and related to this, it was not possible to sufficiently reduce the variation in tensile strength in the width direction, and the flatness decreased. Comparative Example 17 could not achieve the desired tensile strength because the Mn content was low. It is also believed that because the Mn content was low, hardenability was insufficient and a relatively large amount of soft phases such as ferrite were formed during cooling.
- Comparative Example 19 because the average cooling rate of primary cooling was low, the total amount of at least one of ferrite, upper bainite, and pearlite exceeded 5 area %, and the desired tensile strength could not be achieved.
- Comparative Example 20 since the average cooling rate of the primary cooling was high, it was not possible to uniformly distribute the desired metal structure in the width direction due to the occurrence of cooling unevenness. Dispersion in tensile strength also became significant. As a result, sufficient flatness could not be achieved. In Comparative Examples 21 and 22, the desired metal structure could not be uniformly distributed in the width direction due to the occurrence of uneven cooling because the upper and lower cooling ratio of the primary cooling was not appropriate. The variation in tensile strength in the width direction also became significant.
- the hot-rolled steel sheets according to all the invention examples have a predetermined chemical composition, and by appropriately controlling each condition in the manufacturing method, especially the cooling process, At all positions: 1/10W position, 3/10W position, 5/10W position, 7/10W position, and 9/10W position, the tempered martensite in the metal structure at the plate thickness 1/4 position is calculated by area%. With a tensile strength of 95% or more, it was possible to achieve a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more due to the structure having tempered martensite as the main phase. In addition, it is possible to reliably control the difference between the maximum and minimum tensile strengths at all positions in the width direction to 30 MPa or less, and therefore it is possible to significantly reduce strength variations in the width direction.
- Table 3 shows the part where the minimum tensile strength was obtained and the part where the maximum tensile strength was obtained among the 1/10W position, 3/10W position, 5/10W position, 7/10W position, and 9/10W position from the end in the width direction. Only the metal structure of the part where tensile strength was obtained is specifically shown. However, in Invention Examples 1, 3 to 7, and 12, in all these positions, the metal structure at the 1/4 position of the plate thickness has an area ratio of tempered martensite: 95% or more and fresh martensite: 5%. The following and at least one of ferrite, upper bainite, and pearlite: the total amount was 5% or less.
