- the quenching martensite produced during the previous cooling process may be transformed into tempered martensite, and may also be accompanied by bainite transformation.
- potential may be fixed to the tempered martensite and bainite, which may increase the yield strength, and as a result, it may be possible to obtain a steel sheet having a yield ratio of 0.6 to 0.9.
- carbides in the tempered martensite and bainite may be coarsened to decrease the strength thereof, and a carbon redistribution effect to untransformed austenite due to the formation of coarsened carbides may be reduced, resulting in a decrease in a retained austenite fraction, and thus, it is difficult to expect an improvement in ductility.
- the reheating temperature may be limited to 490°C or less, and more advantageously, the reheating temperature may be 350°C or higher.
- the cold-rolled steel sheet reheated below 490°C may be maintained for more than 30 seconds at that temperature so that the above-described effects are sufficiently realized.
- the tempered martensite and bainite may be formed as a matrix structure in a microstructure, and a certain fraction of retained austenite may be finely and uniformly around the tempered martensite and bainite, thereby increasing a yield ratio and ductility compared to the conventional DP steel, and improving the formability for processing components of a steel sheet and the crashworthiness during a vehicle collision.
- the steel sheet of the present disclosure which is precisely controlled, may secure ductility while maintaining a higher yield ratio than the conventional DP steel. As a result, it may be possible to provide a high-strength steel sheet having excellent ductility, hole expansion ratio, formability, and crashworthiness.
- the present disclosure may provide a plated steel sheet by plating the cold-rolled steel sheet produced according to the aforementioned process.
- a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet may be manufactured by immersing a steel sheet in a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet bath after reheating and maintaining processes.
- the hot-dip galvanizing may be performed under normal conditions, but for example, the hot-dip galvanizing may be performed in a temperature range of 430 to 490°C.
- a composition of the hot-dip galvanized bath during the hot-dip galvanizing is not particularly limited, and may be a pure zinc plating bath or a zinc-based alloy plating bath containing Si, Al, Mg, and the like.
- an alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet may be obtained by performing an alloying heat treatment on the hot-dip galvanized steel sheet.
- the alloying heat treatment process condition is not particularly limited, and may be provided as a normal condition.
- an alloying heat treatment process may be performed in a temperature range of 480 to 600°C.
- final cooling and coarse rolling process may be performed after the hot-dip galvanizing or alloying heat treatment.
- the hot-dip galvanized or alloyed heat-treated steel sheet may be finally cooled to further introduce fresh martensite.
- the final cooling may be performed at cooling rate of 3°C/s or more at room temperature.
- an upper limit of the cooling rate is not particularly limited, but the cooling may be performed at the cooling rate of 50°C/s or less to form a certain fraction of press martensite.
- a reduction ratio thereof may be less than 2% (excluding 0%).
- the reduction ratio is 2% or more, it may be advantageous in terms of potential formation, but side effects such as plate breakage may occur due to a limitation in equipment capability.
- each heated slab was subjected to finished hot rolling at Ar3 to Ar3+50°C to manufacture a hot-rolled steel sheet. Thereafter, each hot-rolled steel sheet was coiled at 400 to 700°C and then cooled to room temperature at cooling rate of 0.1°C/s or less. Thereafter, the cooled hot-rolled steel sheet was subjected to cold rolling at a cold reduction ratio of 45 to 75%, thereby manufacturing a cold-rolled steel sheet.
- the cold rolling was performed in a rolling mill comprised of six stands, and a cumulative reduction ratio of stands 1 to 3 was performed under the conditions illustrated in Table 2 below.
- each cold-rolled steel sheet was continuously annealed under the conditions illustrated in Table 2 below, followed by step-by-step cooling (primary-secondary cooling and maintenance).
- step-by-step cooling primary-secondary cooling and maintenance
- the steel sheet was reheated at a temperature of 490°C or less, and then, a process of maintaining at that temperature was performed. The maintaining process was performed for 30 seconds after the secondary cooling.
- the steel sheet was galvanized in a hot-dip galvanizing bath at 430 to 490°C and cooled to room temperature at cooling rate of 5°C/s, and was then subjected to temper rolling to less than 2%, thereby manufacturing a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet.
- some steels were subjected to the galvanizing treatment, followed by alloying heat treatment.
- each steel sheet manufactured according to the conditions described above were observed and illustrated in Table 3 below.
- fractions of tempered martensite (TM), bainite (B), ferrite (F), fresh martensite (FM) and retained austenite (A) were measured using FE-SEM, an image analyzer, EBSD, and XRD, after Nital corrosion at 1/4t (t: steel plate thickness (unit mm)) point of a steel sheet.
- t steel plate thickness (unit mm)
- the hole expansion ratio (HER) was measured by pushing up a circular hole punched in a 10mm diameter according to the ISO 16630 procedure with a cone punch until cracks occurred in the specimen, and measuring a ratio of an initial hole diameter to a hole diameter after change, and was calculated using the following expression.
- Hole Expansion Ratio HER , % D ⁇ D 0 / D 0 ⁇ 100 (Here, D means a hole diameter (mm) when the crack penetrates through the steel sheet in a thickness direction, and D 0 means an initial hole diameter (mm) .
- a tempered martensite phase and a bainite phase were formed in a total of 40 to 80 area% as intended, and retained austenite phases were mainly formed around the tempered martensite phase and the bainite phase. Accordingly, a yield ratio thereof may satisfy 0.6 to 0.9 as well as a high strength of 980 MPa, and an elongation ratio of 10% or more and a hole expansion ratio of 20% or more may be secured.
- the strength and ductility may be significantly improved at the same time, and specifically, by satisfying the value of Relational Expression 2, it may be possible to secure the crashworthiness and formability targeted in the present disclosure.
- Comparative steels 1 to 5 that deviate from Relational Expression 1 proposed in the present disclosure and do not satisfy the manufacturing conditions, at least one physical property was degraded because an intended microstructure was not formed.
- Comparative Steel 1 was unable to secure the target level of strength due to an excessive ferrite phase, and had a poor hole expansion ratio and deviated from Relational Expression 2, which made it impossible to secure crashworthiness and formability.
- Comparative Steels 2 and 5 were excessively formed on a fresh martensite phase to secure high strength, whereas they deviated from Relational Expression 2, which made it impossible to secure crashworthiness and formability.
- Comparative Steel 3 had a small ferrite phase, and the ductility thereof significantly decreased as the retained austenite phase was not formed around a hard phase.
- Comparative Steel 4 the retained austenite phase was not formed around the hard phase to lead to a relatively low elongation ratio, it was impossible to secure crashworthiness and formability as the Comparative Steel 4 deviated from Relational Expression 2.
