Definitions
- the present invention relates to a high-strength galvannealed steel sheet with excellent release of diffusible hydrogen from steel, and a method for manufacturing the same.
- Hot-dip galvanized steel sheets are generally produced by using hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel sheets as the base material, recrystallizing the base steel sheet in the annealing furnace of a continuous galvanizing line (CGL), and then hot-dip galvanizing it.
- Galvannealed steel sheets are produced by hot-dip galvanizing followed by an alloying process.
- CGL annealing requires a reducing atmosphere containing hydrogen to suppress oxidation of the steel sheet surface, which causes unplated areas, and to achieve a good plating appearance.
- hydrogen in this atmosphere penetrates the steel sheet and remains as diffusible hydrogen, reducing its delayed fracture resistance.
- Patent Document 1 proposes a method in which hydrogen-infiltrated steel is heated at a predetermined temperature through a baking process, causing the hydrogen to diffuse and be released from the steel surface.
- Patent Documents 2 and 3 propose methods for releasing hydrogen through the coating layer, in which a certain number of cracks are formed in the coating, and the hydrogen in the steel sheet is released through the cracks to the outside of the steel sheet.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a high-strength galvannealed steel sheet having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more, good release of diffusible hydrogen in steel, and excellent delayed fracture resistance.
- the delayed fracture resistance can be evaluated by the method described in the Examples, and when the evaluation criteria of the Examples are satisfied, the delayed fracture resistance is judged to be excellent.
- the present inventors have found the following regarding hydrogen release from high-strength galvannealed steel sheets. They found that hydrogen release is affected not only by the presence or absence of cracks in the coating, but also by their morphology, and that it is particularly important that there be a certain number of crack intersections near the interface between the steel sheet and the coating. Furthermore, they found that a coating layer with a large number of crack intersections can be formed by optimizing the annealing atmosphere before hot-dip galvanizing and the cooling rate after alloying. The present invention was made based on these findings, and the gist of the present invention is as follows.
- a high-strength galvannealed steel sheet having a plating layer on a base steel sheet The composition of the base steel sheet is, in mass %, C: 0.06% or more and 0.30% or less, Si: 0.20% or more but less than 3.00%, Mn: 1.5% or more and 3.5% or less, P: 0.1% or less (not including 0%), S: 0.03% or less (not including 0%), sol.
- a galvannealed layer having a coating weight of 20 g/m2 or more and 120 g/ m2 or less per side on the substrate steel sheet; the oxygen content of the steel sheet surface layer portion immediately below the zinc-coated layer, within 100 ⁇ m from the surface of the base steel sheet toward the center of the sheet thickness, is 0.030 g/ m2 or more per side; a high-strength galvannealed steel sheet, in which the number of crack intersections in the plating layer is 100 or more per mm2 on a plane parallel to the sheet surface of the steel sheet at a depth M [ ⁇ m] (1 ⁇ M ⁇ 5 ) from the surface
- the dew point of the atmosphere in the heating furnace in the temperature range where the steel sheet temperature in the annealing heating furnace is 700°C or higher is -20°C or higher
- the atmosphere in the heating furnace contains, in addition to 20.0 vol% or less of hydrogen, at least one of SO2 in an amount of 0.1 volppm or more and 3.0 volppm or less and HCl in an amount of 0.5 volppm or more and 10.0 volppm or less
- high-strength galvannealed steel sheet with excellent delayed fracture resistance can be obtained due to improved release of diffusible hydrogen from steel.
- the high-strength galvannealed steel sheet obtained by the present invention is suitable for structural members such as automobile parts, and its application to this application can contribute to improved fuel efficiency by reducing the vehicle body weight.
- This invention targets high-strength galvannealed steel sheets that have a hot-dip galvanized layer on at least one side of the base steel sheet (base steel sheet) and are alloyed after hot-dip galvanizing.
- a "high-strength” steel sheet means that the tensile strength (TS) of the steel sheet measured in accordance with JIS Z2241 (2011) is 780 MPa or greater.
- base steel sheet The chemical composition of the base steel sheet (base steel sheet) and the reasons for its limitations are explained below.
- % representing the content of the component elements in the base steel sheet means “mass %” unless otherwise specified.
- Tensile strength is referred to as TS.
- Step sheet may also include hot-dip galvanized steel sheet and galvannealed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet.
- C 0.06% or more and 0.30% or less C has the effect of improving workability by forming martensite or the like as a steel structure, but in order to obtain good weldability, the C content is preferably 0.30% or less, more preferably 0.25% or less. In order to obtain good workability, the C content must be 0.06% or more, and preferably 0.09% or more.
- Si 0.20% or more but less than 3.00% Si is an effective element for achieving high strength in steel sheets because it has a significant effect of increasing the strength of steel through solid solution (solid solution strengthening ability) without significantly impairing workability.
- Si is also an easily oxidizable element, and has the effect of promoting oxide formation in the surface layer of the substrate steel sheet in an atmosphere with a high oxygen potential.
- the Si content needs to be 0.20% or more.
- the Si content is 3.00% or more, Si oxides that cause unplated defects are formed not only in the surface layer portion of the substrate steel sheet but also on the surface of the substrate steel sheet during CGL annealing, making it difficult to achieve good platability, so Si must be contained in a range of less than 3.00%.
- the Si content is preferably 2.00% or less, and more preferably 1.50% or less.
- Mn 1.5% or more and 3.5% or less
- Mn is an element that strengthens steel by solid solution strengthening, improves hardenability, and promotes the formation of retained ⁇ , bainite, and martensite. These effects are achieved by including 1.5% or more of Mn. Therefore, the Mn content must be 1.5% or more, and is preferably 1.8% or more. On the other hand, if the Mn content is 3.5% or less, the above effects can be obtained without increasing costs. Therefore, the Mn content must be 3.5% or less, and is preferably 3.3% or less.
- P 0.1% or less (excluding 0%) By suppressing the P content, it is possible to prevent a decrease in weldability, and further to prevent P from segregating at grain boundaries, thereby preventing deterioration of ductility, bendability, and toughness. Furthermore, if a large amount of P is contained, the ferrite transformation is promoted, which increases the grain size. Therefore, the P content must be 0.1% or less. There is no particular lower limit for the P content, but it is usually preferable to set it to 0.001% or more due to constraints on production technology.
- S 0.03% or less (excluding 0%) It is preferable to reduce the S content as much as possible. By suppressing the S content, deterioration in weldability can be prevented, and deterioration in ductility during hot rolling can be prevented, thereby suppressing hot cracking and significantly improving surface properties. Furthermore, by suppressing the S content, deterioration in delayed fracture resistance, ductility, bendability, and stretch flangeability of the steel sheet due to the formation of coarse sulfides as an impurity element can be prevented. Since the problems caused by S become significant when the S content exceeds 0.03%, the S content must be 0.03% or less, and preferably 0.02% or less.
- the S content is preferably 0.01% or less, and more preferably 0.003% or less.
- the lower limit of the S content it is usually preferable to set it to 0.0001% or more due to constraints on production technology.
- N 0.007% or less (excluding 0%)
- N content 0.007% or less (excluding 0%)
- the N content must be set to 0.007% or less, more preferably 0.005% or less, even more preferably 0.003% or less, and particularly preferably 0.002% or less.
- the N content There is no particular restriction on the lower limit of the N content, but it is usually preferable to set it to 0.0005% or more due to constraints on production technology.
- Sol. Al 0.1% or less (excluding 0%) Since Al is thermodynamically most easily oxidized, it oxidizes before Si and Mn, and has the effect of suppressing the oxidation of Si and Mn at the outermost layer of the substrate steel sheet and promoting the oxidation of Si and Mn inside the substrate steel sheet. This effect is obtained when the sol. Al content is 0.01% or more. On the other hand, if the sol. Al content exceeds 0.1%, the cost increases. Therefore, when sol. Al is contained, the sol. Al content must be 0.1% or less. Although the lower limit of the sol. Al content is not particularly limited, it is preferably set to 0.001% or more because removing sol. Al at an impurity level also leads to increased costs. Also, as described above, the sol. Al content is preferably set to 0.01% or more.
- O 0.003% or less (excluding 0%)
- O is an element that forms oxide-based inclusions such as Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , CaO, MgO, (Al,Ca)—O, and (Si,Mn)—O in steel, and the generation of these inclusions deteriorates delayed fracture resistance.
- the O content In order to minimize such adverse effects on delayed fracture resistance, the O content must be 0.003% or less. There is no particular lower limit for the O content, but the currently industrially feasible lower limit is approximately 0.0005%.
- Cr 1.0% or less (excluding 0%) Cr is an element that enhances hardenability and can generate the desired amount of quenched martensite or tempered martensite, thereby improving the balance between strength and ductility. It is also an easily oxidizable element, and like Si, it has the effect of promoting internal oxide formation in the surface layer of the substrate steel sheet in an atmosphere with a high oxygen potential. To achieve these effects, the Cr content is preferably 0.05% or more. However, like Si, excessive Cr content can form Cr-based oxides that cause unplated defects not only in the surface layer of the substrate steel sheet but also on the surface of the substrate steel sheet during CGL annealing, making it difficult to obtain a good plating appearance. Therefore, from the perspective of galvanizability, the Cr content must be 1.0% or less, and preferably 0.7% or less.
- Mass ratio of Si, Mn, and Cr (Si + Cr)/Mn is 0.25 or more.
- the mass ratio of Si, Mn, and Cr (Si + Cr)/Mn is 0.25 or more and the oxygen potential of the annealing atmosphere is sufficiently high, internal oxides are formed in the surface layer of the substrate steel sheet during annealing, suppressing oxide formation on the surface of the substrate steel sheet. This is due to the effect of Si and Cr, which are easily oxidized. Suppressing oxide formation on the surface of the substrate steel sheet improves the coating appearance.

- groups A to D The chemical compositions of groups A to D and the effects of their inclusion will be explained below.

- Ti is an element effective for precipitation strengthening of steel. Although there is no particular limitation on the lower limit of Ti, it is preferably 0.005% or more in order to obtain the effect of adjusting strength.

- the chemical composition of the base steel sheet (base steel sheet) consists of the remainder, other than the above-mentioned components, consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
- a base steel sheet (cold-rolled steel sheet or hot-rolled steel sheet) having the above-described components is introduced into continuous hot-dip galvanizing equipment, and after continuous annealing in the equipment, hot-dip galvanizing is performed, and further alloying treatment is performed to obtain a galvannealed steel sheet.
- continuous hot-dip galvanizing equipment is composed of an annealing furnace and a hot-dip galvanizing device located downstream of the annealing furnace, and the hot-dip galvanizing device includes a hot-dip galvanizing bath and a snout connected to the steel strip outlet side of the annealing furnace and having a tip portion immersed in the hot-dip galvanizing bath.
- a general continuous hot-dip galvanizing line (CGL) configured to continuously perform a series of processes including heating, cooling, hot-dip galvanizing, and hot-dip galvanizing alloying treatment can be applied.
- the base steel sheet introduced into the continuous hot-dip galvanizing line is annealed while passing through an annealing furnace which is provided with a heating zone, a soaking zone, and a cooling zone in this order.
- the specific annealing conditions are as follows:
- the atmospheric dew point is set to -20°C or higher in a temperature range in which the temperature of the base steel sheet in the heating furnace is 700°C or higher. Furthermore, the atmosphere in the heating furnace contains, in addition to 20.0 vol% or less of hydrogen, at least one of SO2 from 0.1 volppm to 3.0 volppm and HCl from 0.5 volppm to 10.0 volppm.
- ⁇ 20°C or higher At steel sheet temperatures of 700°C or higher, surface segregation due to the diffusion of Si and Mn increases.
- setting the atmospheric dew point to ⁇ 20°C or higher promotes the formation of internal oxides on the surface of the substrate steel sheet, i.e., at a depth of up to 100 ⁇ m from the surface. This can suppress the formation of oxides on the surface of the substrate steel sheet. This can suppress the occurrence of bare spots caused by oxides on the surface of the substrate steel sheet, improving the coating appearance.
- Hydrogen concentration in the heating furnace atmosphere 20.0 vol% or less
- the hydrogen concentration in the heating furnace atmosphere during annealing must be 20.0 vol% or less. If the hydrogen concentration in the heating furnace atmosphere in the temperature range of 700°C or higher is too high, the amount of diffusible hydrogen in the steel increases, making hydrogen release difficult. As a result, there is a problem of reduced delayed fracture resistance due to hydrogen embrittlement. For these reasons, the hydrogen concentration in the temperature range of 700°C or higher must be 20.0 vol% or less. On the other hand, if the hydrogen concentration in the heating furnace atmosphere is 3.0 vol% or more, the surface of the substrate steel sheet is sufficiently reduced and activated, resulting in good galvanizability. Therefore, it is preferable that the hydrogen concentration in the heating furnace atmosphere be 3.0 vol% or more.
- the atmosphere inside the heating furnace must contain at least one of the following: SO2 concentration: 0.1 vol ppm or more and 3.0 vol ppm or less; or HCl concentration: 0.5 vol ppm or more and 10.0 ppm or less. It is an important requirement of the present invention that the atmosphere in the heating furnace contain at least one of SO2 and/or HCl at the above-mentioned concentrations.
- the atmosphere in the heating furnace during annealing must contain at least one of 0.1 vol ppm to 3.0 vol ppm SO2 and 0.5 vol ppm to 10.0 vol ppm HCl.
- the presence of appropriate amounts of corrosive gases such as SO2 and HCl reduces the grain size of the surface layer of the substrate steel sheet after recrystallization annealing, and increases the number of cracks and intersections during plating, which are important for the release of diffusible hydrogen in steel, when a certain level of stress is applied to the plating layer.
- a rapid Fe-Zn reaction known as an outburst reaction occurs at the grain boundaries of the steel sheet, forming an alloy phase with a high Fe concentration and low ductility in the plating layer near the grain boundaries.
- this alloy phase has low ductility, cracks will form when a certain level of stress is applied to the plating layer, becoming the initiation point for crack initiation during plating.
- the spacing between the formation of alloy phases with low ductility also decreases. Therefore, it is thought that cracks in the coating layer are more likely to occur due to tensile stress applied to the coating layer during cooling of the steel sheet after alloying, and the number of crack intersections increases.
- the improvement effect of this corrosive gas becomes apparent when SO 2 is 0.1 ppm or more and HCl is 0.5 ppm or more.
- the concentration must be 0.1 vol ppm or more and 3.0 vol ppm or less, and in the case of HCl, the concentration must be 0.5 vol ppm or more and 10.0 ppm or less.
- the remainder of the atmosphere in the heating furnace during annealing may contain gases such as nitrogen, CO, and CO 2 .
- the substrate steel sheet it is preferable to anneal the substrate steel sheet at a maximum temperature of 700°C or higher and 900°C or lower in order to recrystallize the strain imparted by rolling.

- the temperature by setting the temperature to 900°C or lower, it is possible to suppress surface segregation of Si, Mn, and Cr, resulting in a good plating appearance, so it is preferable to set the maximum temperature of the substrate steel sheet to 900°C or lower.
- the concentrations of these trace amounts of corrosive gases such as SO2 and HCl can be controlled by adjusting the amount of gas containing these corrosive gases when the gas is introduced directly into the furnace.
- the concentrations can be controlled by applying a liquid containing H2SO4 or HCl to the substrate steel sheet before it enters the furnace, adjusting the amount of the liquid, and then adjusting the H2SO4 or HCl concentration of the liquid.
- it is important to control the concentrations of trace amounts of corrosive gases such as SO2 and HCl, and the method for controlling the concentrations of these trace amounts of corrosive gases such as SO2 and HCl is not limited to the above-mentioned method.
- the substrate steel sheet it is preferable to anneal the substrate steel sheet at a maximum temperature of 700°C or higher and 900°C or lower in order to recrystallize the strain imparted by rolling.
- a maximum temperature of 700°C or higher iron oxide on the surface of the substrate steel sheet is sufficiently reduced, resulting in a good plating appearance, so it is preferable to set the maximum temperature of the substrate steel sheet to 700°C or higher.
- the temperature by setting the temperature to 900°C or lower, it is possible to suppress surface segregation of Si, Mn, and Cr, resulting in a good plating appearance, so it is preferable to set the maximum temperature of the substrate steel sheet to 900°C or lower.
- the base steel sheet that has been continuously annealed under the above conditions is cooled and then immersed in a hot-dip galvanizing bath to undergo hot-dip galvanizing.
- the cooling temperature is preferably 200 to 520°C, and the sheet is preferably heated as needed before being immersed in the hot-dip galvanizing bath.
- the bath temperature of the hot-dip galvanizing bath is generally approximately 440 to 500°C.
- the hot-dip galvanizing bath is not particularly limited, but may, for example, contain an Al content of 0.10% by mass or more and 0.23% by mass or less, and further contain one or more elements selected from Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Co, Ca, Cu, Li, Ti, Be, Bi, and REM in a total content of 0% by mass or more and 3.5% by mass or less, with the remainder consisting of Zn and unavoidable impurities.
- the temperature of the base steel sheet before coating be equal to or higher than the coating bath temperature but not higher than the coating bath temperature + 50°C.
- a galvannealing treatment is further performed to form an alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer.
- the alloying treatment is preferably performed in a temperature range of 480°C or higher and 570°C or lower. If the alloying temperature is lower than 480°C, the Zn-Fe alloying rate becomes excessively slow, making alloying extremely difficult. On the other hand, if the alloying temperature exceeds 570°C, untransformed austenite may transform into pearlite, resulting in a decrease in TS and El.
- the alloying treatment is more preferably performed in a temperature range of 490°C or higher and 560°C or lower, and even more preferably in a temperature range of 490°C or higher and 530°C or lower.

- Average cooling rate 5°C/s or more. This is one of the important requirements of the present invention. By setting the average cooling rate from the end of the alloying treatment to 250°C to 5°C/s or more, the number of crack intersections in the coating required for releasing diffusible hydrogen from the steel can be obtained. Because the thermal expansion coefficient of the galvannealed hot-dip coating layer is higher than that of the base steel sheet, tensile stress is generated in the coating layer during cooling, which is thought to cause cracks to form in the coating of the galvannealed hot-dip coating layer.
- the average cooling rate is 5°C/s or more
- the temperature difference between the surface coating layer and the base steel sheet increases, sufficiently increasing the tensile stress in the coating layer, accelerating crack formation and achieving the number of crack intersections required for hydrogen release.

- the target elongation (e.g., 0.05% to 1.00%) may be achieved in a single rolling run, or the target elongation may be achieved by performing multiple rolling runs.
- temper rolling is generally carried out, but rolling by a method such as processing with a leveler may also be used as long as it can impart an elongation rate equivalent to that of temper rolling.
- the galvannealed steel sheet is held at room temperature for 48 hours or more. This allows diffusible hydrogen in the steel sheet to be released through cracks in the coating, improving delayed fracture resistance.
- room temperature refers to 0°C to 40°C.
- the holding time must be 48 hours or more.
- the holding time is more preferably 96 hours or more, and even more preferably 144 hours or more. There is no particular upper limit to the holding time, but from the perspective of productivity, it is preferably 1,800 hours or less.
- the release of diffusible hydrogen in the steel sheet may be carried out at a temperature range of 50°C to 400°C rather than at room temperature. In this case, the release of diffusible hydrogen can be completed in a shorter time than when held at room temperature.

- the steel sheet of the present invention produced by the above-described method can have a total amount of hydrogen released at 25° C. or higher and 300° C. or lower of 0.30 mass ppm or less when measured by temperature ramp analysis. As a result, a high-strength galvannealed steel sheet having excellent delayed fracture resistance can be obtained.
- the high-strength galvannealed steel sheet produced in the present invention has a TS of 780 MPa or more. Furthermore, when further increasing the strength, the TS can be made 980 MPa or more.
- the TS is measured in accordance with JIS Z2241 as follows. JIS No. 5 test pieces are taken from the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet so that the longitudinal direction is perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel sheet. Using this test piece, a tensile test is performed at a crosshead displacement rate Vc of 1.67 ⁇ 10 -1 mm/s, and the TS is measured.
- the structure of the steel sheet is not particularly limited, but in order to ensure a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more, it is preferable that the steel sheet have the following structure:
- the steel sheet structure described below is the steel sheet structure in the range of 1/8 to 3/8 thickness depth from the surface of the steel sheet. That is, it is preferable that the steel sheet structure has a total area ratio of martensite, bainite and retained ⁇ (retained austenite) of 30% or more, thereby obtaining a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more.
- a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more can be obtained, and by setting the total area ratio of martensite, bainite, and retained ⁇ to 70% or more, a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 1180 MPa or more can be obtained.

- the steel structure can be identified by etching the polished cross section of the steel sheet with acid or the like, followed by observation with an optical microscope or a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Because the structure of high-strength steel sheets is complex and fine, it is preferable to use an SEM, which allows for more detailed observation of the microstructure.
- the steel sheet can be polished by cutting the cross section, embedding it in resin, mechanically polishing it with abrasive paper, or the like, and then finish-polishing it with diamond paste or oxide particles. Furthermore, finish-polishing may be performed by electrolytic polishing or ion polishing. Furthermore, etching with nital at a concentration of 1 vol% to 5 vol% can produce steps on the cross section suitable for observing the steel structure, so the nital concentration is preferably 1 vol% to 5 vol%. Because the structure of high-strength steel sheets is fine, it is preferable to perform SEM observation at a magnification of 1000 to 3000 times.
- the number of fields of view of the SEM is preferably 10 or less.
- the aspect ratio represents the ratio of the length of the major axis to the length of the minor axis, which is perpendicular to the major axis, i.e., the length of the major axis/the length of the minor axis.
- the thickness represents the length of the minor axis
- the circle equivalent diameter represents the diameter of a perfect circle having the area of each structure calculated from an SEM photograph.
- Lumped aspect ratio ⁇ 8, equivalent circle diameter ⁇ 30 ⁇ m Distribution density of carbides inside the structure: 0.10 to 6 pieces/ ⁇ m 2 in all forms
- the high-strength galvannealed steel sheet of the present invention has a zinc coating layer on the surface of a substrate steel sheet with a coating weight per side of 20 g/ m2 or more and 120 g/ m2 or less. If the coating weight is less than 20 g/ m2 , not only is corrosion resistance likely to decrease, but it is also difficult to control the coating weight. On the other hand, if the coating weight per side exceeds 120 g/ m2 , coating adhesion is likely to decrease.
- the high-strength galvannealed steel sheet of the present invention has a good surface appearance according to the evaluation criteria described in the examples.
- the oxygen content of the surface layer portion of the substrate steel sheet directly below the galvanized layer within 100 ⁇ m from the surface of the substrate steel sheet toward the center of the sheet thickness, as measured by the method described in the Examples, is 0.030 g/ m2 or more per side.
- the oxygen content of the surface layer portion of the substrate steel sheet is derived from oxides present in the surface layer portion of the substrate steel sheet.
- oxides formed on the surface of the substrate steel sheet are suppressed, resulting in a good coating appearance.
- the oxygen content of the surface layer portion of the substrate steel sheet is 0.030 g/ m2 or more, the oxides sufficiently promote the release of diffusible hydrogen from the steel sheet. Therefore, from the viewpoints of improving the coating appearance and promoting hydrogen release, the oxygen content must be 0.030 g/ m2 or more per side. Furthermore, from the viewpoints of achieving even better coating appearance and promoting hydrogen release, the oxygen content is preferably 0.040 g/ m2 or more per side.
- the high-strength galvannealed steel sheet of the present invention has a crack intersection number of 100 or more per mm2 in a plane parallel to the surface of the galvanized steel sheet at a depth M [ ⁇ m] (1 ⁇ M ⁇ 5 ) from the surface of the galvanized layer, which is an important requirement of the present invention.
- the number of intersections is measured by reducing the thickness of the galvanized layer from the surface to 1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m and then observing the surface, which makes it possible to observe the morphology of cracks that are likely to be connected to the surface of the substrate steel sheet. If the thickness is reduced to more than 5 ⁇ m, the substrate steel sheet may be exposed due to the influence of unevenness on the surface of the substrate steel sheet.
- the thickness reduction of the coating layer can be performed by measuring the thickness of a sample piece before, during, and after polishing, and mechanically polishing the sample piece parallel to the sheet surface of the galvanized steel sheet so that the reduced thickness is 1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m. The reduced thickness is calculated from the difference in the thickness of the sample piece before and after polishing.
- the method for measuring the thickness of the sample piece is not particularly limited as long as it can provide an accuracy of 0.1 ⁇ m or better.
- a contact-type thickness gauge or a non-contact laser-based thickness gauge can be used.
- the method for reducing the coating layer is also not particularly limited.
- Ar sputtering can be used. Note that a "crack intersection" refers to a point where three or more cracks are generated from one point. In the production of high-strength galvannealed steel sheets, cracks in the coating layer may be crushed on the coating surface after the alloying treatment due to contact with a roll or temper rolling.
- the high-strength galvannealed steel sheet according to the present invention has a diffusible hydrogen content of 0.30 ppm by mass or less. If the diffusible hydrogen content in the steel exceeds 0.30 ppm by mass, delayed fracture resistance becomes insufficient, so the diffusible hydrogen content in the steel needs to be 0.30 ppm by mass or less.
- the diffusible hydrogen content in the steel is preferably 0.15 ppm by mass or less, and more preferably 0.05 ppm by mass or less.
- the thickness of the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet produced in this invention is not particularly limited, but is typically approximately 0.3 mm or more and 2.8 mm or less.
- the steel sheets were further cooled under the conditions shown in Table 2 and held at room temperature for a predetermined time.
- the surface of the galvannealed layer of the thus obtained galvannealed steel sheet was polished to a depth of 1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m from the surface of the galvannealed layer, and the number of intersections of cracks in the galvannealed layer observed in the observed image was counted.
- the thickness of the galvannealed layer, the amount of diffusible hydrogen in the steel sheet, and the delayed fracture resistance were measured using the measurement and evaluation methods described below. Furnace gas analysis, and evaluation of the tensile strength and structure of the steel sheet were also performed. The above results, along with the manufacturing conditions, are shown in Table 2.
- furnace gas was sampled from the annealing furnace, and the amounts of SO 2 and HCl were determined by ion chromatography. The analysis was carried out three times, and the average value was taken as the furnace gas concentration.
- a 10 mm x 10 mm sample was cut from the width center of the galvannealed steel sheet obtained by the above method.
- the sample was embedded in resin with the plated surface perpendicular to the plated surface, then polished perpendicular to the plated surface with waterproof abrasive paper, followed by finish polishing with 1 ⁇ m diamond abrasive grains.
- the sample was etched with 0.05% nital for 30 seconds, and the cross section was observed with an SEM at 400x magnification.
- SEM observation secondary electron images were acquired at an accelerating voltage of 10 kV.
- the observation field consisted of five consecutive fields from the center of the sample, and the plating thickness was measured at six equal positions (five locations) in each field. The average thickness of all 25 locations obtained by the above procedure was taken as the thickness of the zinc plating layer.
- a 20 mm x 20 mm sample was cut from the width center of the galvannealed steel sheet and degreased with alcohol.
- the plating surface was then mechanically polished with diamond abrasive grains of 3 ⁇ m diameter, followed by finish polishing with diamond abrasive grains of 1 ⁇ m diameter and 0.25 ⁇ m diameter diamond abrasive grains to reduce the plating layer thickness.
- the thickness reduction was calculated from the difference in thickness of the sample before and after polishing, and adjusted so that the thickness reduction of the plating layer after polishing was in the range of 1 ⁇ m to 5 ⁇ m.
- Measurement of diffusible hydrogen content in steel sheet A rectangular test piece measuring 30 mm in major axis length and 5 mm in minor axis length was taken from the width center of a galvannealed steel sheet. The coating layer of the test piece was removed using a router. Hydrogen analysis was performed using a temperature-programmed hydrogen release analyzer under conditions of an analysis start temperature of 25°C, an analysis end temperature of 300°C, and a heating rate of 200°C/hour. The amount of released hydrogen (ppm by mass), which is the amount of hydrogen released from the surface of the test piece at each temperature, was measured. The sum of the amounts of hydrogen detected at 300°C or less was taken as the diffusible hydrogen content in the steel sheet.
- a diffusible hydrogen content in the steel of 0.05 ppm by mass or less was evaluated as excellent ( ⁇ )
- a diffusible hydrogen content of more than 0.05 ppm by mass and less than 0.15 ppm by mass was evaluated as good ( ⁇ )
- a diffusible hydrogen content of more than 0.15 ppm by mass and less than 0.30 ppm by mass was evaluated as fair ( ⁇ ).
- x the amount of diffusible hydrogen in steel exceeds 0.30 ppm by mass, delayed fracture resistance is often reduced, and therefore, steels with a diffusible hydrogen content of more than 0.30 ppm by mass were rated as poor ("x").
- the time from taking the strip-shaped test specimens from the galvannealed steel sheet to starting the delayed fracture tensile test was limited to within 10 minutes.
- the loading time in the tensile test was a maximum of 100 hours.
- the maximum stress at which no cracks here, "cracks” refers to fractures under tensile stress loading) occurred after 100 hours of loading was defined as the critical stress, and the delayed fracture resistance was evaluated by the ratio of the critical stress to the yield stress.
- the evaluation criteria for delayed fracture resistance were as follows: when critical stress/yield stress was 1.10 or more, it was given an excellent " ⁇ ", when it was less than 1.10 and 1.05 or more, it was given a good " ⁇ ", when it was less than 1.05 and 1.00 or more, it was given a fair " ⁇ ", and when it was less than 1.00, it was given a poor " ⁇ ". Note that the delayed fracture resistance evaluated in the delayed fracture test is generally lower (disadvantageous) for steel sheets with higher strength.
- the oxygen concentration in the steel throughout the entire thickness direction of the high-strength steel sheet after continuous annealing was measured, and this measured value was used as the oxygen content OI after oxidation.
- OI oxygen content
- OH oxygen content
- the rating was excellent ( ⁇ ); when scale patterns were observed but no uncoated defects were observed, the rating was good ( ⁇ ); when scale patterns and fewer than five uncoated defects larger than 0.5 mm were observed, the rating was fair ( ⁇ ); and when five or more uncoated defects larger than 0.5 mm were observed, the rating was poor ( ⁇ ).
- the total area ratio of martensite, bainite, and retained ⁇ in the base steel sheet structure was measured as follows. A sample was cut out so that the observation surface was a thickness cross section (L cross section) parallel to the rolling direction of the base steel sheet. This observation surface was polished with diamond paste and then finish-polished with alumina. The observation surface of the sample was then etched with 3 vol% nital to reveal the structure. The steel structure was observed at a depth of 1/8 to 3/8 of the sheet thickness on this sample observation surface, and five fields of view were observed at a magnification of 3000x using an SEM.
- the total area of martensite, bainite, and retained ⁇ was determined from the obtained structure image, and the area ratio was calculated by dividing this total area by the measured area for the five fields of view. The average of these values was used as the total area ratio of martensite, bainite, and retained ⁇ .
- the martensite, bainite, retained ⁇ , and other microstructures were identified as follows. Martensite There are two types of martensite: tempered martensite and fresh martensite. Tempered martensite is a gray or dark gray area that is close to black in an SEM photograph. Tempered martensite has a blocky morphology with boundaries at the interfaces with other structures such as prior ⁇ grain boundaries and ferrite.
- tempered martensite may contain other structures such as bainite inside, resulting in a concave shape. Tempered martensite contains many carbides inside, but depending on the plane orientation, there may be only a small amount of carbides.
- Fresh martensite Fresh martensite is the gray or white area in the SEM photograph. It is in the form of blocks, granules, plates, or films and does not contain carbides.
- Bainite Bainite is the dark gray area in the SEM photograph. Bainite appears as a film, plate, or a mass formed by connecting some or all of these adjacent areas, and contains a small amount of carbides inside. It may contain coarse carbides that have been tempered after formation.
- Retained austenite (retained ⁇ )
- the retained ⁇ is a region that has the same color and morphology as the above-mentioned fresh martensite. Note that, since it is not possible to distinguish between retained ⁇ and fresh martensite based on the contrast in the SEM photograph, it is identified as a region that combines these two structures. In order to ensure the strength of the steel sheet, it is necessary to control the total area ratio of the martensite, bainite, and retained ⁇ , but the remainder may include, but is not limited to, the structures shown below. Ferrite Ferrite is the black area in the SEM photograph. Ferrite has a massive morphology and contains almost no carbides.
- Bainitic ferrite contains almost no carbides inside and has mechanical properties similar to ferrite, so it belongs to the ferrite group.
- Ferrite may contain granular or massive fresh martensite, granular or massive retained ⁇ , or both.
- Fresh martensite and retained ⁇ contained in ferrite are not included in the area fraction of ferrite, but are treated as the area fraction of fresh martensite or retained ⁇ .
- Carbides are the white areas in SEM photographs. They take the form of granules or films. Carbides are mainly formed as fine particles inside ferrite, martensite, and bainite, but the area ratio of these is small and can be ignored.
- the area ratio of carbides is not excluded from the area ratio of each structure containing carbides, but is included in the area ratio of each structure.
- Structures other than those mentioned above Each of the above structures may contain nitrides such as TiN, carbonitrides such as ( Nb, Ti)(C, N), sulfides such as MnS and CaS, and oxides such as Al2O3 and SiO2 , in a total area ratio of a few percent. Since the area ratios of these are small and can be ignored, the area ratios of these nitrides, carbonitrides, sulfides, or oxides are included in the area ratio of each structure containing them. Pearlite may also be included. In the case of pearlite, the area ratio of pearlite is calculated separately.
- the galvannealed steel sheets of the present invention have a beautiful surface appearance with no uncoated areas, and also have excellent release properties of diffusible hydrogen in the steel sheet and delayed fracture resistance.
