BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a high-tensile steel sheet having both excellent elongation and stretch flangeability suitable for materials for automobile members.
[0002]
[Prior art]
From the viewpoint of improving fuel efficiency, which leads to environmental conservation, there is a strong demand for thinner steel sheets for automobiles, but many automotive parts have complex shapes that can be obtained by press forming, and elongation that is an index of workability. A material with excellent stretch flangeability is required.
[0003]
Conventionally, various steel sheets of this type have been proposed. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 6-172924 proposes a steel sheet excellent in stretch flangeability formed by a bainitic ferrite structure having a high dislocation density. However, this steel sheet has a drawback that it has poor elongation because it contains a bainitic ferrite structure with a high dislocation density.
[0004]
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-200351 proposes a steel plate having excellent stretch flangeability, in which most of the structure is polygonal ferrite and precipitation strengthening and solid solution strengthening are performed centering on TiC. However, generally well-known precipitates used in this steel sheet tend to produce large-size precipitates, and have the disadvantages that elongation and stretch flangeability are low when compared with the same strength.
[0005]
Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 7-11382 proposes a steel sheet having an acicular ferrite structure in which fine TiC and / or NbC is precipitated and having excellent stretch flangeability. However, since this steel sheet is a structure having a high dislocation density called acicular ferrite as well as the steel sheet proposed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 6-172924, sufficient elongation cannot be obtained.
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and is suitable for an application having a complicated cross-sectional shape at the time of pressing, such as an automobile member. It aims at providing a tension steel plate.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a result of intensive studies to achieve the above object, the present inventors have obtained the following knowledge.
(1) When the structure has a low dislocation density and is strengthened with fine precipitates, the strength-elongation balance is improved.
(2) When the structure is substantially single phase and strengthened with fine precipitates, the strength-stretch flangeability balance is improved.
(3) When the composite precipitate contains Mo, the precipitate is finely precipitated.
(4) When the proportion of Mo in the composite precipitate becomes low, the precipitate becomes coarse, so that both elongation and stretch flangeability are lowered.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described.
The high-strength steel sheet excellent in both elongation and stretch flangeability suitable for the material for automobile members according to the present invention is mass%, C: 0.02 to 0.06%, Si: 0.3% or less, Mn : 0.5-2.0%, P: 0.06% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Al: 0.06% or less, N: 0.006% or less, Mo: 0.1-0. 5%, V: 0.05 to 0.2%, the balance is made of Fe and inevitable impurities, the ferrite area ratio is 95% or more, and the range satisfying Mo / (V + Mo) ≧ 0.25 in atomic% The precipitates having an average particle size of less than 10 nm containing V and Mo are dispersed and precipitated. In addition to the above components, one or more of Ti ≦ 0.03% and Nb ≦ 0.02% may be contained .
[0013]
-Ferrite area ratio of 95% or more :
A ferrite area ratio of 95% or more is effective for improving the elongation by using a ferrite having a low dislocation density, and for improving the stretch flangeability, a single-phase structure is effective. This is because the effect is remarkable in a rich ferrite single-phase structure.
[0014]
-Precipitates having an average particle size of less than 10 nm containing V and Mo in the range of Mo / (V + Mo) ≧ 0.25 in atomic%:
Since the precipitate containing V and Mo becomes fine, it is effective for strengthening the steel. Conventionally, it has been the mainstream to use VC as a precipitate. However, since V has a strong tendency to form precipitates, when it does not contain Mo, V tends to be coarsened and the effect on strengthening is reduced. In order to obtain the above, a precipitate is required until the workability is deteriorated. On the other hand, the composite precipitate containing V and Mo can finely precipitate and strengthen steel without degrading workability. This is because the Mo precipitate formation tendency is weaker than V, so that the precipitates can exist stably and finely, so the effect of strengthening is high, and the required amount of strengthening can be obtained with the amount of precipitates that can maintain the workability well. It is thought that it is. In particular, by setting the average particle size of this composite precipitate to less than 10 nm, the strain around the precipitate becomes more effective for the resistance of dislocation movement, and good steel strengthening is obtained. The particle size is preferably less than 10 nm. More preferably, the average particle size is 5 nm or less. In order for the precipitates to exist stably and finely, the composition of the precipitates affects, and when the composition of the precipitates is Mo / (V + Mo) ≧ 0.25 in atomic ratio, the precipitates become coarse. The effect of suppressing becomes high, and a desired fine precipitate can be obtained.
[0015]
-Chemical component In this invention, in order to precipitate the said precipitate, by mass%, C: 0.02-0.06%, Si: 0.3% or less, Mn: 0.5-2.0%, P : 0.06% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Al: 0.06% or less, N: 0.006% or less, Mo: 0.1-0.5%, V: 0.05-0. 2%, with the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities . Further, when the structure is further refined and elongation and stretch flangeability are further improved, it is preferable to contain at least one of Ti ≦ 0.03% and Nb ≦ 0.02% in addition to the above components. . Hereinafter, each of these components will be described.
[0016]
C: 0.02 to 0.06%
C forms carbides and is effective for strengthening steel. However, if less than 0.02%, the steel is not sufficiently strengthened, and if added over 0.06%, pearlite is formed and precipitates are coarsened, which may impair elongation and stretch flangeability. There is. For this reason, the C content is preferably 0.02 to 0.06%.
[0017]
Si: 0.3% or less Si is an effective element for solid solution strengthening, but if added over 0.3%, C precipitation from ferrite is promoted and coarse iron carbide precipitates at grain boundaries. It becomes easy and the stretch flangeability tends to decrease, and the surface properties of the steel sheet deteriorate. For this reason, the Si content is preferably 0.3% or less.
[0018]
Mn: 0.5 to 2.0%
Mn is preferably 0.5% or more from the viewpoint of strengthening the steel by solid solution strengthening, but if added over 2.0%, segregation occurs, a hard phase is formed, and stretch flangeability deteriorates. For this reason, the Mn content is preferably 0.5 to 2.0%.
[0019]
P: 0.06% or less P is effective for solid solution strengthening, but if added over 0.06%, segregation may occur and stretch flangeability may be lowered, so 0.06% or less is preferable.
[0020]
S: 0.005% or less S is preferably as small as possible. If it exceeds 0.005%, stretch flangeability may be deteriorated, so 0.005% or less is preferable.
[0021]
Al: 0.06% or less Al is added as a deoxidizer. However, if it exceeds 0.06%, both elongation and stretch flangeability tend to decrease, so 0.06% or less is preferable.
[0022]
N: 0.006% or less N is preferably as small as possible, and if it exceeds 0.006%, coarse nitrides increase and stretch flangeability tends to deteriorate, so 0.006% or less is preferable.
[0023]
Mo: 0.1 to 0.5%
Mo is an important element in the present invention. By containing 0.1% or more, Mo suppresses pearlite transformation, forms fine composite precipitates with V, and ensures excellent elongation and stretch flangeability. While steel can be strengthened. However, if added over 0.5%, a hard phase is formed and stretch flangeability is lowered. For this reason, the Mo content is preferably 0.1 to 0.5%.
[0024]
V: 0.05-0.2%
V is an important element in the present invention. By forming a composite precipitate with Mo, the steel can be strengthened while ensuring excellent elongation and stretch flangeability. However, if it is less than 0.05%, the effect of strengthening the steel is insufficient, and if it exceeds 0.2%, the elongation deteriorates. For this reason, the V content is preferably 0.05 to 0.2%.
[0025]
Ti: 0.03% or less Ti is effective for N fixation and refinement of the structure, and contributes to obtaining excellent elongation and stretch flangeability. Therefore, Ti is added as necessary. However, when the Ti content exceeds 0.03%, the elongation tends to deteriorate. Therefore, when Ti is contained, 0.03% or less is preferable. From the viewpoint of fixing N with Ti, 0.005% or more is preferable.
[0026]
Nb: 0.02% or less Nb is effective for refining the structure and contributes to obtaining excellent elongation and stretch flangeability, so is added as necessary. However, if the Nb content exceeds 0.02%, the elongation tends to deteriorate. Therefore, when Nb is contained, 0.02% or less is preferable.
[0027]
In addition to the above components, there is no problem in characteristics even if one or more of Cr: 0.15% or less, Cu: 0.15% or less, and Ni: 0.16 % or less are included.
[0028]
In addition, the steel plate of this invention can be manufactured with the manufacturing conditions of a general hot-rolled steel plate.
[0029]
【Example】
A steel slab having the chemical composition shown in Table 1 was heated to 1250 ° C., and finished to a plate thickness of 3.2 mm at a finishing temperature of 880 to 930 ° C. by a normal hot rolling process. Thereafter, steel sheets having various structures were manufactured by changing the cooling rate and the coiling temperature at a coiling temperature exceeding 600 ° C.
[0030]
After pickling the obtained steel plates, JIS No. 5 tensile test pieces and hole expansion test pieces were collected from these steel plates. Tensile test specimens were taken from the vertical direction of rolling. In the hole expansion test, a specimen having a hole punched with a clearance of 12.5% by a 10 mmφ punch at the center of a 130 mm square steel plate was prepared and punched with a 60 ° conical punch. The hole diameter d was measured when the hole was pushed up from the opposite direction on the burr side of the hole and the crack penetrated the steel plate, and the hole expansion ratio λ was calculated from the following equation.
λ (%) = [(d−10) / 10] × 100
[0031]
The thin film produced from the steel plate was observed with a transmission electron microscope (TEM), and the precipitate size was measured. The composition of V and Mo in the precipitate was determined from analysis by EDX equipped with TEM.
[0032]
Table 2 shows the tensile strength (TS), elongation (El), hole expansion rate (λ), structure, precipitate average particle size, and precipitate composition.
[0033]
As shown in Table 2, No. of the steel of the present invention. 1 to 9 are all composed of a ferrite structure, and the average particle size of the precipitate is less than 10 nm, atomic%, and the Mo ratio is 0.25 or more, so that the tensile strength (TS) is excellent at 590 MPa or more. Has stretch and stretch flangeability.
[0034]
In contrast, No. of comparative steel. In No. 10, precipitates are coarsened because Mo is not added, and both elongation and stretch flangeability are low, and particularly stretch flangeability is low. No. No. 11 has too much C content, so that pearlite is generated and precipitates are coarsened, and both elongation and stretch flangeability are low, and particularly stretch flangeability is low. No. No. 12 has a large amount of Mn, so segregation is remarkable, martensite is generated in the structure, and the dislocation density is high, so that both elongation and stretch flangeability are low. No. No. 13 has a small amount of V, so the precipitates necessary for strengthening the steel are insufficient, and the tensile strength (TS) is less than 590 MPa. No. No. 14 has too much V content, so that both elongation and stretch flangeability are low, and the elongation is particularly low. Steel No. Since No. 15 has too much Si, both elongation and stretch flangeability are low.
