Description

高強度熱延鋼板及びその製造方法High strength hot rolled steel sheet and method for manufacturing same
 本発明は、高強度熱延鋼板及びその製造方法に関し、特に、自動車用部品の素材として好適な、高強度熱延鋼板及びその製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention relates to high-strength hot-rolled steel sheets and their manufacturing methods, and in particular to high-strength hot-rolled steel sheets suitable as materials for automotive parts and their manufacturing methods.
 自動車の衝突安全性改善と燃費向上の観点から、自動車用部品に用いられる熱延鋼板には、高強度化が求められている。一方で、高強度化した熱延鋼板では、プレス時に加工性不足に起因した割れ発生が顕著となるため、プレス工法や鋼板の加工性の改善が必要とされる。工法に関しては、鋼板(原板)を加熱することで加工性の改善を図る検討がされている。なお、本明細書において、鋼板(原板)を部品に加工等する際に加える加熱処理を、後加熱ともいう。また一方で、鋼板に関しては、後加熱して加工した後(後加熱加工後)の部品の特性を考慮した開発が行われている。さらに引張強さ(TS)が1180MPa以上の高強度鋼板では遅れ破壊も問題となってくるため、後加熱後の耐遅れ破壊特性も考慮した素材設計が必要となる。 In order to improve the crashworthiness and fuel economy of automobiles, there is a demand for higher strength in hot-rolled steel sheets used in automobile parts. On the other hand, in high-strength hot-rolled steel sheets, cracks caused by insufficient workability become prominent during pressing, so improvements in pressing methods and workability of steel sheets are required. Regarding the method, studies are being conducted to improve workability by heating steel sheets (original sheets). In this specification, the heat treatment applied when processing steel sheets (original sheets) into parts is also called post-heating. On the other hand, regarding steel sheets, development is being conducted taking into account the characteristics of parts after post-heating and processing (after post-heating processing). Furthermore, delayed fracture is also an issue for high-strength steel sheets with a tensile strength (TS) of 1180 MPa or more, so material design that takes into account delayed fracture resistance after post-heating is also required.
 特許文献1には、加工温度(後加熱の加熱温度)を400~1000℃とすることで伸びフランジ性を改善した工法に関する技術が開示されている。特許文献2には、TSが730MPa以上の高強度熱延鋼板に関する技術が開示されている。特許文献2に開示された熱延鋼板では、ベイナイトを主相とし、全Ti量の80%以上を固溶Tiとした組織とする。これにより、500℃~Ac1変態点の温度域に加熱し60min間保持する熱処理を施した後のYS(降伏強さ)およびTS増加量が100MPa以上である熱処理硬化性が得られる。特許文献3には、120kgf/mm以上のTSを有する、耐遅れ破壊特性に優れた熱延鋼板に関する技術が開示されている。 Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for improving stretch flangeability by setting the processing temperature (post-heating temperature) at 400 to 1000°C. Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for a high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet with a TS of 730 MPa or more. The hot-rolled steel sheet disclosed in Patent Document 2 has a structure in which bainite is the main phase and 80% or more of the total Ti amount is solid-solute Ti. This provides heat treatment hardening with an increase in YS (yield strength) and TS of 100 MPa or more after heat treatment in which the steel sheet is heated to a temperature range of 500°C to the Ac1 transformation point and held for 60 min. Patent Document 3 discloses a technique for a hot-rolled steel sheet with excellent delayed fracture resistance and a TS of 120 kgf/mm2 or more .

 しかしながら、特許文献1では、後加熱後の強度や靭性等の部品としてのパフォーマンスを考慮しておらず、改善の余地がある。特に400℃を超えるような高温で後加熱を施すと鋼組織が大きく変化し、後加熱前の鋼板(原板)が1180MPa以上の高強度となるとその強度への影響は顕著となるため、後加熱による強度への影響を考慮した素材設計が必要となる。特許文献2に開示された鋼板は、熱処理後の強度低下は生じないものの、逆に過度な強度上昇を招くとともに炭化物の微細析出が顕著なため熱処理後の靭性に課題があり、改善の余地がある。また、特許文献2では、検討されている鋼板の強度レベルも980MPa程度に留まり、1180MPa以上の高強度における知見や示唆は無い。特許文献3は、原板での加工性を改善し、後加熱無しでの耐遅れ破壊特性向上を志向したものである。しかしながら、特許文献3では、遅れ破壊試験は深絞りで評価されており、より厳しい端面、ひいては後加熱後に加工した端面からの耐遅れ破壊特性についてはなんら考慮されておらず、改善の余地がある。 However, Patent Document 1 does not take into account the performance of the part, such as strength and toughness after post-heating, and there is room for improvement. In particular, when post-heating is performed at a high temperature exceeding 400°C, the steel structure changes significantly, and when the steel plate (original plate) before post-heating has a high strength of 1180 MPa or more, the impact on the strength becomes significant, so material design that takes into account the impact of post-heating on strength is necessary. The steel plate disclosed in Patent Document 2 does not experience a decrease in strength after heat treatment, but on the contrary, it leads to an excessive increase in strength and there is a problem with the toughness after heat treatment due to the significant fine precipitation of carbides, and there is room for improvement. In addition, the strength level of the steel plate examined in Patent Document 2 is only about 980 MPa, and there is no knowledge or suggestion for high strength of 1180 MPa or more. Patent Document 3 aims to improve the workability of the original plate and improve the delayed fracture resistance without post-heating. However, in Patent Document 3, the delayed fracture test was evaluated by deep drawing, and no consideration was given to the more severe end surface, or delayed fracture resistance from the end surface processed after post-heating, leaving room for improvement.
 本発明は、上記事情に鑑みてなされたものであり、後加熱後の強度、靭性および耐遅れ破壊特性に優れる高強度熱延鋼板及びその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention was made in consideration of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet that has excellent strength, toughness, and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating, and a manufacturing method thereof.
 本発明者らは、熱延鋼板の後加熱後のTiおよびNbの析出挙動に着目し、後加熱前の初期の粗大なTi含有析出物およびNb含有析出物と固溶Ti量および固溶Nb量を制御することによる加熱後(後加熱後)の鋼板特性の向上を想到した。さらに、結晶方位にも着目し、表層領域を特定の方位に集積させた組織とすることで、打抜き端面の後加熱後の遅れ破壊を抑制することを想到した。その結果、化学成分を調整したうえでマルテンサイトおよび/または下部ベイナイトを主相とし、残留オーステナイト(残留γ)量を体積率で3%未満とし、表面から板厚中央方向に100μmまでの表層領域において、{110}<111>方位の極密度を1.8~5.0とし、Ti含有量とNb含有量の合計に対する、固溶Ti量と固溶Nb量の合計の比である(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)を0.300以上0.800未満、かつ、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量を合計で0.010~0.030質量%とすることで熱延鋼板(原板)で高強度を発現しつつ、後加熱後も原板に近い強度と、優れた靭性および耐遅れ破壊特性が得られることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。 The inventors focused on the precipitation behavior of Ti and Nb after post-heating of hot-rolled steel sheets, and came up with the idea of improving the properties of the steel sheets after heating (after post-heating) by controlling the initial coarse Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates and the amount of dissolved Ti and Nb before post-heating. Furthermore, they focused on the crystal orientation, and came up with the idea of suppressing delayed fracture after post-heating of the punched end surface by forming a structure in which the surface layer region is concentrated in a specific orientation. As a result, by adjusting the chemical composition, it was found that by making martensite and/or lower bainite the main phase, making the amount of retained austenite (residual gamma) less than 3% by volume, making the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation 1.8 to 5.0 in the surface layer region from the surface to 100 μm in the sheet thickness center direction, making the ratio of the total amount of dissolved Ti and dissolved Nb to the total amount of Ti and Nb (Solute Ti + Solute Nb)/(Total Ti + Total Nb) 0.300 or more and less than 0.800, and making the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates with a grain size of 100 nm or more 0.010 to 0.030 mass%, it is possible to obtain high strength in the hot-rolled steel sheet (original sheet), strength close to that of the original sheet even after post-heating, and excellent toughness and delayed fracture resistance, and thus completed the present invention.
 なお、本発明において、高強度とは、引張強さ(TS)が1180MPa以上1600MPa未満であることを意味する。
また、本発明において、後加熱後の強度に優れるとは、後加熱後の熱延鋼板の強度の低下が、後加熱前の熱延鋼板(原板)の強度に対して、ビッカース硬さで50以下であることを意味する。
本発明において、後加熱後の靭性に優れるとは、後加熱後の熱延鋼板から採取した試験片を用いたシャルピー衝撃試験において、-20℃での延性破面率が50%以上であることを意味する。なお、前記試験片の板厚は0.6~3.0mmとし、熱延鋼板の板厚が3.0mmを超える場合は、熱延鋼板から採取した試験片を板厚3.0mmまで表裏面研削加工し、シャルピー衝撃試験に供するものとする。
本発明において、後加熱後の耐遅れ破壊特性に優れるとは、後加熱後の鋼板から採取した、せん断端面を有する短冊試験片に90゜でV曲げ加工を施し、次いでスプリングバックで開いた分をボルトなどで締め付け、pH3の塩酸に96hr浸漬した時に割れが発生しないことを意味する。
なお、本発明において、後加熱とは、熱延鋼板(原板)を400℃以上に加熱する熱処理を意味する。
In the present invention, high strength means that the tensile strength (TS) is 1180 MPa or more and less than 1600 MPa.
In the present invention, excellent strength after post-heating means that the decrease in strength of the hot-rolled steel sheet after post-heating is 50 or less in Vickers hardness compared to the strength of the hot-rolled steel sheet (original sheet) before post-heating.
In the present invention, being excellent in toughness after post-heating means that in a Charpy impact test using a test piece taken from the hot-rolled steel sheet after post-heating, the ductile fracture surface ratio at −20° C. is 50% or more. The thickness of the test piece is 0.6 to 3.0 mm, and when the thickness of the hot-rolled steel sheet exceeds 3.0 mm, the test piece taken from the hot-rolled steel sheet is ground on both sides to a thickness of 3.0 mm, and then subjected to the Charpy impact test.
In the present invention, "excellent resistance to delayed fracture after post-heating" means that no cracks are generated when a rectangular test piece having a sheared end surface, which is taken from the steel sheet after post-heating, is V-bent at 90°, the part opened by springback is tightened with a bolt or the like, and the piece is immersed in hydrochloric acid of pH 3 for 96 hours.
In the present invention, post-heating means a heat treatment in which the hot-rolled steel sheet (original sheet) is heated to 400° C. or higher.

 まず、本発明の高強度熱延鋼板の成分組成について説明する。なお、成分組成の含有量を表す「%」は「質量%」を意味するものとする。 First, we will explain the composition of the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet of the present invention. Note that "%" representing the content of the composition means "mass %."
 本発明の高強度熱延鋼板の成分組成は、質量%で、C:0.06~0.23%、Si:0.1~3.0%、Mn:1.5~3.5%、P:0.050%以下(0%を含まない)、S:0.0050%以下(0%を含まない)、Al:1.5%以下(0%を含まない)、N:0.010%以下(0%を含まない)、O:0.003%以下(0%を含まない)、TiとNbを合計で0.040~0.200%含み、残部がFeおよび不可避的不純物からなる。 The composition of the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet of the present invention is, in mass%, C: 0.06-0.23%, Si: 0.1-3.0%, Mn: 1.5-3.5%, P: 0.050% or less (excluding 0%), S: 0.0050% or less (excluding 0%), Al: 1.5% or less (excluding 0%), N: 0.010% or less (excluding 0%), O: 0.003% or less (excluding 0%), Ti and Nb in total 0.040-0.200%, and the balance consisting of Fe and unavoidable impurities.
 C:0.06~0.23%
 Cは、マルテンサイトや下部ベイナイトを生成および強化させてTSを上昇させたり、Ti、Nb、N等と結合して析出物を生成することで後加熱後の強度低下抑制等に有効な元素である。C含有量が0.06%未満ではこのような効果が十分得られず、1180MPa以上の鋼板(原板)のTSあるいは後加熱後の優れた強度が得られない。一方、C含有量が0.23%を超えると後加熱後の靭性の低下が顕著となり、後加熱後の優れた靭性が得られない。したがって、C含有量は0.06~0.23%とする。C含有量は、好ましくは0.07%以上とする。また、C含有量は、好ましくは0.22%以下とし、より好ましくは0.20%以下とする。
C: 0.06 to 0.23%
C is an element that is effective in increasing TS by generating and strengthening martensite and lower bainite, and in suppressing strength reduction after post-heating by combining with Ti, Nb, N, etc. to generate precipitates. If the C content is less than 0.06%, such effects cannot be sufficiently obtained, and the TS of the steel plate (original plate) of 1180 MPa or more or excellent strength after post-heating cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the C content exceeds 0.23%, the decrease in toughness after post-heating becomes significant, and excellent toughness after post-heating cannot be obtained. Therefore, the C content is set to 0.06 to 0.23%. The C content is preferably set to 0.07% or more. The C content is preferably set to 0.22% or less, and more preferably set to 0.20% or less.

 Mn:1.5~3.5%

Mn: 1.5 to 3.5%
Mn is an element effective in suppressing ferrite and upper bainite and generating lower bainite and martensite. If the Mn content is less than 1.5%, this effect is not sufficiently obtained, and polygonal ferrite, upper bainite, etc. are generated, and the microstructure of the present invention cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the Mn content exceeds 3.5%, the deterioration of toughness and delayed fracture resistance becomes significant, and excellent toughness and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating cannot be obtained. Therefore, the Mn content is set to 1.5 to 3.5%. The Mn content is preferably 1.6% or more. The Mn content is preferably 3.0% or less, more preferably 2.5% or less.
 P:0%超0.050%以下
 Pは、後加熱後の靭性や耐遅れ破壊特性を低下させるため、その量は極力低減することが望ましい。本発明ではP含有量が0.050%まで許容できる。したがって、P含有量は0.050%以下とする。P含有量は、好ましくは0.030%以下とする。下限は特に限定されず、P含有量は0%超でよいが、P含有量が0.001%未満では生産能率が低下するため、P含有量は0.001%以上が好ましい。
P: more than 0% and 0.050% or less P reduces the toughness and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating, so it is desirable to reduce the amount as much as possible. In the present invention, a P content of up to 0.050% is acceptable. Therefore, the P content is set to 0.050% or less. The P content is preferably set to 0.030% or less. There is no particular lower limit, and the P content may be more than 0%, but if the P content is less than 0.001%, the production efficiency decreases, so the P content is preferably 0.001% or more.

S: more than 0% and 0.0050% or less S reduces the toughness and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating, so it is preferable to reduce the amount as much as possible. In the present invention, the S content can be up to 0.0050%. Therefore, the S content is set to 0.0050% or less. The S content is preferably set to 0.0030% or less, more preferably set to 0.0020% or less, and even more preferably set to 0.0015%.

 Al:0%超1.5%以下
 Alは、脱酸剤として作用し、脱酸工程で添加することが好ましい。Al含有量は0%超でよいが、脱酸剤として用いる観点からは、Al含有量は0.01%以上が好ましい。一方、多量にAlを含有するとポリゴナルフェライトが多量に生成して本発明の鋼組織が得られなくなる。本発明ではAl含有量が1.5%まで許容される。したがって、Al含有量は1.5%以下とする。Al含有量は、好ましくは0.50%以下、より好ましくは0.20%以下とする。
Al: more than 0% and not more than 1.5% Al acts as a deoxidizer, and is preferably added in the deoxidization process. The Al content may be more than 0%, but from the viewpoint of using it as a deoxidizer, the Al content is preferably 0.01% or more. On the other hand, if a large amount of Al is contained, a large amount of polygonal ferrite is generated, and the steel structure of the present invention cannot be obtained. In the present invention, the Al content is allowed up to 1.5%. Therefore, the Al content is set to 1.5% or less. The Al content is preferably set to 0.50% or less, more preferably 0.20% or less.
 N:0%超0.010%以下
 Nは、TiNやNbCを生成させ、微細なTiCやNbC等の析出を阻害するため、その量は極力低減することが好ましい。本発明ではN含有量が0.010%まで許容できる。したがって、N含有量は0.010%以下とする。N含有量は、好ましくは0.007%以下とする。下限は特に限定されず、N含有量は0%超でよいが、N含有量が0.0005%未満では生産能率が低下するため、N含有量は0.0005%以上が好ましい。
N: more than 0% and 0.010% or less N generates TiN and NbC and inhibits the precipitation of fine TiC, NbC, etc., so it is preferable to reduce the amount as much as possible. In the present invention, an N content of up to 0.010% is acceptable. Therefore, the N content is set to 0.010% or less. The N content is preferably set to 0.007% or less. There is no particular lower limit, and the N content may be more than 0%, but if the N content is less than 0.0005%, the production efficiency decreases, so the N content is preferably 0.0005% or more.
 O:0%超0.003%以下
 Oは、後加熱後の靭性や耐遅れ破壊特性を低下させるため、その量は極力低減することが好ましい。本発明ではO含有量が0.003%まで許容できる。したがって、O含有量は0.003%以下とする。O含有量は、好ましくは0.002%以下とする。下限は特に限定されず、O含有量は0%超でよいが、O含有量が0.0002%未満では生産能率が低下するため、O含有量は0.0002%以上が好ましい。

In the present invention, an O content of up to 0.003% is acceptable. Therefore, the O content is set to 0.003% or less. The O content is preferably set to 0.002% or less. There is no particular lower limit, and the O content may be more than 0%, but if the O content is less than 0.0002%, production efficiency decreases, so the O content is preferably 0.0002% or more.
 TiとNbの合計:0.040~0.200%
 TiおよびNbは、本発明において最も重要な元素であり、後加熱後に適度なTiCやNbC等の微細析出物を生成させることで、後加熱後の優れた強度、靭性および耐遅れ破壊特性を得るのに必要な元素である。TiとNbの含有量の合計が0.040%未満ではこのような効果が十分得られず、後加熱後の優れた強度が得られない。一方、TiとNbの含有量の合計が0.200%を超えると粗大なTiやNbを含有する析出物が多くなることで後加熱後の耐遅れ破壊特性の低下を招くほか、後加熱後の析出物が過剰となり、後加熱後の優れた靭性が得られなくなる。したがって、TiとNbの含有量は合計で0.040~0.200%とする。TiとNbの含有量は合計で、好ましくは0.050%以上とし、より好ましくは0.060%以上とする。また、TiとNbの含有量は合計で、好ましくは0.160%以下とし、より好ましくは0.120%以下とする。なお、TiとNbの含有量は、合計で上記範囲を満たせばよく、どちらか一方の含有量は0%であってもよい。
Sum of Ti and Nb: 0.040 to 0.200%
Ti and Nb are the most important elements in the present invention, and are necessary elements for obtaining excellent strength, toughness, and delayed fracture resistance properties after post-heating by generating appropriate fine precipitates such as TiC and NbC after post-heating. If the total content of Ti and Nb is less than 0.040%, such effects are not sufficiently obtained, and excellent strength after post-heating is not obtained. On the other hand, if the total content of Ti and Nb exceeds 0.200%, the amount of coarse precipitates containing Ti and Nb increases, which leads to a decrease in delayed fracture resistance properties after post-heating, and the precipitates after post-heating become excessive, making it impossible to obtain excellent toughness after post-heating. Therefore, the total content of Ti and Nb is set to 0.040 to 0.200%. The total content of Ti and Nb is preferably 0.050% or more, more preferably 0.060% or more. The total content of Ti and Nb is preferably 0.160% or less, more preferably 0.120% or less. The total content of Ti and Nb needs to be within the above range, and the content of either one of them may be 0%.

 続いて、本発明の高強度熱延鋼板の鋼組織について説明する。 Next, we will explain the steel structure of the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet of the present invention.
 本発明の高強度熱延鋼板の鋼組織は、マルテンサイトおよび/または下部ベイナイトを主相とし、残留γが体積率で3%未満である。 The steel structure of the high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet of the present invention has martensite and/or lower bainite as the main phase, and the volume fraction of residual γ is less than 3%.
 主相:マルテンサイトおよび/または下部ベイナイト
 本発明では、高強度と後加熱後の優れた靭性および耐遅れ破壊特性を得るため、マルテンサイトおよび/または下部ベイナイトを主相とする組織とする。フェライトやパーライトや残留γ等が主相となると、高強度と後加熱後の優れた靭性や耐遅れ破壊特性の両立が困難となる。したがって、鋼組織はマルテンサイトおよび/または下部ベイナイトを主相とする。なお、マルテンサイトは自己焼戻し(オートテンパード)マルテンサイト、焼戻しマルテンサイトのいずれであっても構わないが、内部に炭化物を有さないフレッシュマルテンサイトは除く。また、下部ベイナイトは、焼き戻した下部ベイナイトであっても構わない。なお、本発明において、主相とは、面積率で50%以上を占める相を意味する。主相の面積率は、60%以上が好ましく、75%以上がより好ましい。なお、本発明では、マルテンサイトが主相であってもよいし、下部ベイナイトが主相であってもよいし、マルテンサイトと下部ベイナイトの合計が主相であってもよい。主相の面積率の上限は、特に限定されず、100%であってもよい。主相の面積率は、一例としては、100%未満であってもよく、98%以下であってもよい。
Main phase: martensite and/or lower bainite In the present invention, in order to obtain high strength and excellent toughness and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating, the microstructure is made to have martensite and/or lower bainite as the main phase. If ferrite, pearlite, residual γ, etc. become the main phase, it becomes difficult to achieve both high strength and excellent toughness and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating. Therefore, the steel microstructure is made to have martensite and/or lower bainite as the main phase. Note that the martensite may be either auto-tempered martensite or tempered martensite, but fresh martensite having no carbides inside is excluded. Also, the lower bainite may be tempered lower bainite. Note that in the present invention, the main phase means a phase that occupies 50% or more in terms of area ratio. The area ratio of the main phase is preferably 60% or more, and more preferably 75% or more. Note that in the present invention, martensite may be the main phase, lower bainite may be the main phase, or the total of martensite and lower bainite may be the main phase. The upper limit of the area ratio of the main phase is not particularly limited and may be 100%. The area ratio of the main phase may be, for example, less than 100% or 98% or less.
 残留オーステナイト(残留γ)量:3%未満
 残留オーステナイト(残留γ)は、後加熱後はパーライトに変態することで強度と靭性を著しく低下させる組織であるため極力低減することが好ましい。本発明では、体積率で、残留γが3%未満まで許容される。よって、残留γは体積率で3%未満とする。残留γは、体積率で、好ましくは2%未満であり、より好ましくは1%未満である。残留γの体積率の下限は特に限定されず、残留γの体積率は0%であってもよい。
Amount of retained austenite (residual γ): less than 3% Since retained austenite (residual γ) is a structure that significantly reduces strength and toughness by transforming into pearlite after post-heating, it is preferable to reduce it as much as possible. In the present invention, the volume fraction of retained γ is allowed to be less than 3%. Therefore, the volume fraction of retained γ is set to less than 3%. The volume fraction of retained γ is preferably less than 2%, and more preferably less than 1%. There is no particular limit on the lower limit of the volume fraction of retained γ, and the volume fraction of retained γ may be 0%.
 なお、マルテンサイト、下部ベイナイト、残留γ以外の相(その他の相)としては、フェライト、パーライト、上部ベイナイトのうちの1種または2種以上が挙げられる。その他の相の面積率は、合計で30%以下が好ましく、合計で25%以下がより好ましい。その他の相の面積率の下限は、特に限定されず、その他の相の面積率は、合計で0%であってもよい。 The phases other than martensite, lower bainite, and residual gamma (other phases) may be one or more of ferrite, pearlite, and upper bainite. The total area ratio of the other phases is preferably 30% or less, and more preferably 25% or less. There is no particular lower limit to the area ratio of the other phases, and the total area ratio of the other phases may be 0%.
 (固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量):0.300以上0.800未満
 Ti含有量とNb含有量の合計に対する、固溶Ti量と固溶Nb量の合計の比である[(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)]が0.300未満では、後加熱時に析出物となって強度低下を相殺するための固溶Ti量および固溶Nb量が不十分となる。その結果、後加熱後の優れた強度が得られなくなる。一方、0.800以上では、後加熱後の析出物析出による強度上昇が過剰となり、後加熱後の優れた靭性が得られなくなる。したがって、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)は0.300以上0.800未満とする。好ましくは0.350以上とする。また、好ましくは0.700以下とする。なお、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)は、実施例に記載の方法により求められる。
(Solute Ti amount + Solute Nb amount) / (Total Ti amount + Total Nb amount): 0.300 or more and less than 0.800 If the ratio of the total of the dissolved Ti amount and the dissolved Nb amount to the total of the Ti content and the Nb content, [(Solute Ti amount + Solute Nb amount) / (Total Ti amount + Total Nb amount)], is less than 0.300, the amount of dissolved Ti and the amount of dissolved Nb that become precipitates during post-heating to offset the strength reduction will be insufficient. As a result, excellent strength after post-heating will not be obtained. On the other hand, if it is 0.800 or more, the strength increase due to the precipitation of precipitates after post-heating will be excessive, and excellent toughness after post-heating will not be obtained. Therefore, (Solute Ti amount + Solute Nb amount) / (Total Ti amount + Total Nb amount) is 0.300 or more and less than 0.800. It is preferably 0.350 or more. It is also preferably 0.700 or less. The value of (amount of dissolved Ti+amount of dissolved Nb)/(total amount of Ti+total amount of Nb) is determined by the method described in the Examples.
 粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計:0.010~0.030質量%
 粒径100nm以上のTi含有析出物およびNb含有析出物を一定以上含有させることで、後加熱の際に該析出物の成長と新たなTiCおよびNbC等の析出が競合する。これにより、微細なTiCやNbC等の析出が適度に抑制され、過度な強度上昇や靭性の低下を抑制することができる。このような効果を得るには粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計を0.010質量%以上とする必要がある。一方、前記Ti量とNb量の合計が0.030質量%を超えると粗大析出物による靭性の低下が顕著になるため、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計を0.030質量%以下とする必要がある。したがって、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計を0.010~0.030質量%とする。好ましくは、0.013質量%以上とする。また、好ましくは0.027質量%以下とする。なお、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計は、実施例に記載の方法により求められる。
The total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates with a grain size of 100 nm or more: 0.010 to 0.030 mass%
By containing a certain amount of Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates having a grain size of 100 nm or more, the growth of the precipitates competes with the precipitation of new TiC, NbC, etc. during post-heating. This appropriately suppresses the precipitation of fine TiC, NbC, etc., and can suppress excessive strength increase and toughness decrease. To obtain such an effect, the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a grain size of 100 nm or more must be 0.010 mass% or more. On the other hand, if the total amount of Ti and Nb exceeds 0.030 mass%, the decrease in toughness due to coarse precipitates becomes significant, so the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a grain size of 100 nm or more must be 0.030 mass% or less. Therefore, the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a grain size of 100 nm or more must be 0.010 to 0.030 mass%. Preferably, it is 0.013 mass% or more. Also, it is preferably 0.027 mass% or less. The total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a grain size of 100 nm or more is determined by the method described in the Examples.
 表面から板厚中央方向に100μmまでの表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度:1.8~5.0
 鋼板の表面から板厚中央方向に100μmまでの表層領域は、打抜きや高速変形時の破面形成に強く影響する。この領域の{110}<111>方位の極密度を1.8~5.0の範囲に制御することで、後加熱後に優れた靭性を得ることができ、また、打抜きの破面性状が良好となり、後加熱後に優れた耐遅れ破壊特性を得ることができる。このような効果を得るには、表面から板厚中央方向に100μmまでの表層領域において、{110}<111>方位の極密度を1.8以上とする必要がある。一方、前記極密度が5.0を超えると後加熱後の強度低下が顕著となり、後加熱後の優れた強度(50以下のΔHV)が得られなくなる。したがって、表面から板厚中央方向に100μmまでの表層領域において、{110}<111>方位の極密度を1.8~5.0とする。好ましくは2.0以上とする。また、好ましくは4.0以下とし、より好ましくは3.0以下とする。なお、表面から板厚中央方向に100μmまでの表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度は、実施例に記載の方法により求められる。
Pole density of {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region from the surface to 100 μm in the center direction of the sheet thickness: 1.8 to 5.0
The surface layer region from the surface of the steel plate to 100 μm in the thickness center direction strongly influences the formation of fracture surface during punching or high-speed deformation. By controlling the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in this region to the range of 1.8 to 5.0, excellent toughness can be obtained after post-heating, and the fracture surface properties of punching become good, and excellent delayed fracture resistance properties can be obtained after post-heating. To obtain such effects, the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation needs to be 1.8 or more in the surface layer region from the surface to 100 μm in the thickness center direction. On the other hand, if the pole density exceeds 5.0, the strength reduction after post-heating becomes significant, and excellent strength after post-heating (ΔHV of 50 or less) cannot be obtained. Therefore, the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation is set to 1.8 to 5.0 in the surface layer region from the surface to 100 μm in the thickness center direction. It is preferably set to 2.0 or more. It is also preferably set to 4.0 or less, and more preferably set to 3.0 or less. The pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region extending from the surface to 100 μm in the sheet thickness center direction is determined by the method described in the examples.

T(℃)=800+1000[Ti]+2500[Nb]
ただし、[Ti]、[Nb]は、それぞれTi、Nbの含有量(質量%)であり、含有しない場合は0とする。
また、1080℃以上の温度域での合計圧下率は、熱間圧延を施す前のスラブの厚さを基準とし、これと1080℃時点の板厚との比から求める。また、900℃以下の温度域での合計圧下率は、900℃時点の板厚を基準とし、これと最終板厚との比から求める。また、T(℃)以下での1パスあたりの圧下率は、T(℃)以下での各パスの圧延前後の板厚の比から求める。
<Method of manufacturing high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet>
The high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet of the present invention is produced by heating a slab having the above-mentioned composition to a temperature range of 1150 to 1300°C, holding the slab in the temperature range for 0.2 to 3.5 hours, and then hot rolling the slab under conditions in which the total reduction in the temperature range of 1080°C or higher is 80 to 90%, the total reduction in the temperature range of 900°C or lower is 20% or more, and the reduction per pass at or below T (°C) calculated by the following formula is 25% or less, followed by allowing the slab to cool for 1.0 s or more, then cooling the slab at a temperature range up to 550°C at an average cooling rate of 50°C/s or more, setting the time from reaching 550°C to the start of quenching to 0.5 to 4.0 s, then quenching the slab to a coiling temperature of 100 to 250°C at a cooling rate of 200°C/s or more, and coiling the slab at the coiling temperature.
T(℃)=800+1000[Ti]+2500[Nb]
Here, [Ti] and [Nb] are the contents (mass%) of Ti and Nb, respectively, and are set to 0 when no Ti and Nb are contained.
The total reduction in the temperature range of 1080° C. or higher is determined from the ratio of the slab thickness before hot rolling to the plate thickness at 1080° C. The total reduction in the temperature range of 900° C. or lower is determined from the ratio of the plate thickness at 900° C. to the final plate thickness. The reduction per pass at or below T (° C.) is determined from the ratio of the plate thickness before and after each pass of rolling at or below T (° C.).
 以下、詳しく説明する。なお、上記した温度は鋼板の幅中央部の表面の温度であり、上記した平均冷却速度、冷却速度は、それぞれ鋼板の幅中央部の表面の平均冷却速度、冷却速度である。また、平均冷却速度は、特に断らない限り、[(冷却開始温度-冷却停止温度)/冷却開始温度から冷却停止温度までの冷却時間]とする。 A detailed explanation is provided below. The above temperatures are the surface temperatures at the center of the width of the steel plate, and the above average cooling rates and cooling speeds are the average cooling rate and cooling speed at the surface at the center of the width of the steel plate, respectively. Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, the average cooling rate is [(cooling start temperature - cooling stop temperature) / cooling time from cooling start temperature to cooling stop temperature].
 スラブの加熱温度:1150~1300℃
 スラブの加熱温度が1150℃未満では、Ti含有析出物の溶解が不十分となる。その結果、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)の0.300以上0.800未満の値や、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計の0.010~0.030質量%の値が得られなくなる。一方、スラブの加熱温度が1300℃を超えると、Ti含有析出物やNb含有析出物の溶解が過剰となる。その結果、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)の0.300以上0.800未満の値や、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計の0.010~0.030質量%の値が得られなくなる。したがって、スラブの加熱温度は1150~1300℃とする。前記加熱温度は、好ましくは1170℃以上とし、より好ましくは1185℃以上とする。また、前記加熱温度は、好ましくは1280℃以下とし、より好ましくは1265℃以下とする。
Slab heating temperature: 1150-1300°C
If the heating temperature of the slab is less than 1150°C, the dissolution of Ti-containing precipitates is insufficient. As a result, the value of (Solute Ti amount + Solute Nb amount) / (Total Ti amount + Total Nb amount) of 0.300 or more and less than 0.800, or the value of the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates with a grain size of 100 nm or more of 0.010 to 0.030 mass% cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the heating temperature of the slab exceeds 1300°C, the dissolution of Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates becomes excessive. As a result, the value of (Solute Ti amount + Solute Nb amount) / (Total Ti amount + Total Nb amount) of 0.300 or more and less than 0.800, or the value of the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates with a grain size of 100 nm or more of 0.010 to 0.030 mass% cannot be obtained. Therefore, the heating temperature of the slab is set to 1150 to 1300°C. The heating temperature is preferably 1170° C. or higher, and more preferably 1185° C. or higher. The heating temperature is preferably 1280° C. or lower, and more preferably 1265° C. or lower.
 1150~1300℃の温度域での保持時間:0.2~3.5時間
 1150~1300℃の温度域での保持時間が0.2時間未満では、Ti含有析出物およびNb含有析出物の溶解が不十分となる。その結果、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)の0.300以上0.800未満の値や、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計の0.010~0.030質量%の値が得られなくなる。一方、前記温度域での保持時間が3.5時間を超えると、表層近傍での脱炭が顕著になり、表層にフェライト、上部ベイナイト、残留γ等が生じやすくなり、本発明の組織が得られなくなる。したがって、スラブの前記温度域での保持時間は0.2~3.5時間とする。前記保持時間は、好ましくは0.4時間以上とする。また、前記保持時間は、好ましくは2.5時間以下とする。
Holding time in the temperature range of 1150 to 1300°C: 0.2 to 3.5 hours If the holding time in the temperature range of 1150 to 1300°C is less than 0.2 hours, the dissolution of Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates will be insufficient. As a result, a value of (amount of dissolved Ti + amount of dissolved Nb)/(total amount of Ti + total amount of Nb) of 0.300 or more and less than 0.800, or a value of 0.010 to 0.030 mass% of the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates with a grain size of 100 nm or more will not be obtained. On the other hand, if the holding time in the above temperature range exceeds 3.5 hours, decarburization in the vicinity of the surface layer will become significant, and ferrite, upper bainite, residual γ, etc. will be easily generated in the surface layer, and the structure of the present invention will not be obtained. Therefore, the holding time of the slab in the above temperature range is set to 0.2 to 3.5 hours. The holding time is preferably 0.4 hours or more. The holding time is preferably 2.5 hours or less.
 1080℃以上の温度域での合計圧下率:80~90%
 1080℃以上の温度域で合計圧下率80~90%の圧下を施すことで、100nm以上の粗大Ti含有析出物やNb含有析出物の生成と成長を促進することができる。その結果、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計を0.010~0.030質量%とすることができる。該合計圧下率が80%未満では粒径100nm以上の析出物の生成が不十分となり、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計が0.010質量%未満となる。一方、該合計圧下率が90%を超えると、粒径100nm以上の析出物の生成が過剰となり、粒径100nm以上の析出物として存在しているTi量とNb量の合計が0.030質量%超となる。したがって、1080℃以上の温度域での合計圧下率は80~90%とする。前記合計圧下率は、好ましくは81%以上とする。また、前記合計圧下率は、好ましくは88%以下とする。
Total reduction rate at temperatures above 1080°C: 80-90%
By carrying out a total reduction of 80 to 90% in a temperature range of 1080°C or more, it is possible to promote the generation and growth of coarse Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more. As a result, the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more can be set to 0.010 to 0.030 mass%. If the total reduction is less than 80%, the generation of precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more is insufficient, and the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more is less than 0.010 mass%. On the other hand, if the total reduction exceeds 90%, the generation of precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more is excessive, and the total amount of Ti and Nb present as precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more exceeds 0.030 mass%. Therefore, the total reduction in a temperature range of 1080°C or more is set to 80 to 90%. The total reduction is preferably set to 81% or more. The total rolling reduction is preferably 88% or less.
 900℃以下の温度域での合計圧下率が20%以上
 900℃以下の合計圧下率が20%未満となると、ひずみ誘起析出が抑制されてTi含有析出物やNb含有析出物が減少し、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)の0.300以上0.800未満の値が得られなくなる。もしくは表層部の集合組織の発達が不十分となり、表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度の1.8~5.0の値が得られなくなる。したがって、900℃以下の温度域での合計圧下率は20%以上とする。なお、前記合計圧下率の上限は、特に限定されないが、前記合計圧下率は、80%以下が好ましく、60%以下がより好ましい。
Total rolling reduction in the temperature range of 900°C or less is 20% or more If the total rolling reduction in the temperature range of 900°C or less is less than 20%, strain-induced precipitation is suppressed, Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates are reduced, and a value of (solubilized Ti amount + solid-solubilized Nb amount) / (total Ti amount + total Nb amount) of 0.300 or more and less than 0.800 cannot be obtained. Or, the texture of the surface layer portion is insufficiently developed, and the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region is not able to be 1.8 to 5.0. Therefore, the total rolling reduction in the temperature range of 900°C or less is set to 20% or more. The upper limit of the total rolling reduction is not particularly limited, but the total rolling reduction is preferably 80% or less, more preferably 60% or less.
 T(℃)以下での1パスあたりの圧下率:25%以下
 下記式で求められるT(℃)以下で1パスあたり25%超えの圧下を施すと、ひずみ誘起析出が促進してTi含有析出物やNb含有析出物が増大し、(固溶Ti量+固溶Nb量)/(全Ti量+全Nb量)の0.300以上0.800未満の値が得られなくなる。同時に、表層部の集合組織が発達して、表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度の1.8~5.0の値が得られなくなる。したがって、前記T(℃)以下での1パスあたりの圧下率が25%以下とする。前記圧下率は、好ましくは20%以下とし、より好ましくは18%以下とする。前記圧下率の下限は特に限定されないが、5%以下では粗大粒が生じる場合があるため、前記圧下率は5%超とすることが好ましい。前記圧下率は、より好ましくは7%以上とする。
なお、T(℃)は下記式で求められる。
T(℃)=800+1000[Ti]+2500[Nb]
ただし、[Ti]、[Nb]は、それぞれTi、Nbの含有量(質量%)であり、含有しない場合は0とする。
Reduction rate per pass at T (°C): 25% or less When reduction of more than 25% per pass is applied at T (°C) or less calculated by the following formula, strain-induced precipitation is promoted, Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates increase, and a value of (solute Ti amount + solute Nb amount) / (total Ti amount + total Nb amount) of 0.300 or more and less than 0.800 cannot be obtained. At the same time, the texture of the surface layer part develops, and the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region of 1.8 to 5.0 cannot be obtained. Therefore, the reduction rate per pass at T (°C) or less is set to 25% or less. The reduction rate is preferably set to 20% or less, more preferably set to 18% or less. The lower limit of the reduction rate is not particularly limited, but since coarse grains may occur at 5% or less, the reduction rate is preferably set to more than 5%. The reduction rate is more preferably set to 7% or more.
Incidentally, T (°C) can be calculated by the following formula.
T(℃)=800+1000[Ti]+2500[Nb]
Here, [Ti] and [Nb] are the contents (mass%) of Ti and Nb, respectively, and are set to 0 when no Ti and Nb are contained.
 1.0s以上放冷
 上記条件で圧延した後、放冷することにより、一部ひずみを開放し、続く冷却中のひずみ誘起析出や転位上析出を抑制し、Ti含有析出物やNb含有析出物を低減することができる。このような効果を得るには圧延後の放冷時間を1.0s以上とする必要がある。前記放冷時間は、好ましくは1.5s以上とし、より好ましくは2.0s以上とし、さらに好ましくは2.2s以上とする。前記放冷時間の上限は特に限定されないが、前記放冷時間が5.0s以下であると、その後の熱延制御をし易くなるため前記放冷時間は5.0s以下が好ましい。なお、放冷とは、注水等による積極的な冷却(加速冷却)を行わずに大気中に暴露(空冷)することを意味する。なお、本発明において、熱間圧延は、粗圧延と仕上げ圧延を含み、前記圧延後の放冷時間は、熱間圧延後、すなわち、仕上げ圧延後の放冷時間である。
Cooling for 1.0 s or more By cooling after rolling under the above conditions, partial strain is released, strain-induced precipitation and dislocation precipitation during subsequent cooling are suppressed, and Ti-containing precipitates and Nb-containing precipitates can be reduced. To obtain such an effect, it is necessary to set the cooling time after rolling to 1.0 s or more. The cooling time is preferably 1.5 s or more, more preferably 2.0 s or more, and even more preferably 2.2 s or more. There is no particular limit to the upper limit of the cooling time, but if the cooling time is 5.0 s or less, it becomes easier to control the subsequent hot rolling, so the cooling time is preferably 5.0 s or less. Note that cooling means exposure to the atmosphere (air cooling) without active cooling (accelerated cooling) by water injection or the like. Note that in the present invention, hot rolling includes rough rolling and finish rolling, and the cooling time after rolling is the cooling time after hot rolling, i.e., after finish rolling.
 550℃までの温度域を50℃/s以上の平均冷却速度で冷却
 上記放冷後、550℃までの温度域を50℃/s以上の平均冷却速度で冷却する。550℃までの平均冷却速度が50℃/s未満では、フェライト、上部ベイナイト、Ti含有析出物、Nb含有析出物等の過剰な生成や表層領域の結晶方位の形成阻害を招く。その結果、本発明の相組織や、析出物、表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度の1.8~5.0の値が得られなくなる。したがって、前記放冷後の冷却開始温度から550℃までの温度域の平均冷却速度は50℃/s以上とする。前記平均冷却速度は、好ましくは70℃/s以上とする。前記平均冷却速度の上限は特に限定されないが、前記平均冷却速度が500℃/s以上では鋼板形状の劣化を招く場合があるため、前記平均冷却速度は500℃/s未満が好ましく、200℃/s未満がより好ましい。
Cooling at an average cooling rate of 50°C/s or more in the temperature range up to 550°C After the above cooling, cooling at an average cooling rate of 50°C/s or more in the temperature range up to 550°C. If the average cooling rate up to 550°C is less than 50°C/s, excessive generation of ferrite, upper bainite, Ti-containing precipitates, Nb-containing precipitates, etc., and formation of the crystal orientation in the surface layer region will be caused. As a result, the phase structure of the present invention, the precipitates, and the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region of 1.8 to 5.0 will not be obtained. Therefore, the average cooling rate in the temperature range from the cooling start temperature to 550°C after the above cooling is set to 50°C/s or more. The average cooling rate is preferably set to 70°C/s or more. There is no particular limit to the upper limit of the average cooling rate, but since an average cooling rate of 500°C/s or more may cause deterioration of the steel sheet shape, the average cooling rate is preferably less than 500°C/s, and more preferably less than 200°C/s.
 550℃に達してから急冷を開始するまでの時間:0.5~4.0s
 550℃に達してから急冷(後述の冷却速度200℃/s以上での急冷)を開始するまでの間に一定時間を確保する(一定時間の間隔をおく)ことで、表層近傍での中温域のベイナイトを形成させることができる。その結果、本発明の表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度を得ることができる。550℃に達してから急冷を開始するまでの時間が0.5s未満ではこのような効果が十分得られず、表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度の1.8~5.0の値が得られなくなる。一方、前記時間が4.0sを超えると上部ベイナイトが過剰に生成して本発明の相組織が得られなくなる。したがって、550℃から急冷を開始するまでの間の時間を0.5~4.0sとする。前記時間は、好ましくは0.7s以上とする。また、前記時間は、好ましくは2.0s以下とし、より好ましくは1.6s以下とする。
Time from reaching 550°C to starting quenching: 0.5 to 4.0 s
By ensuring a certain time (leaving a certain time interval) between reaching 550°C and starting quenching (quenching at a cooling rate of 200°C/s or more, which will be described later), bainite can be formed in the medium temperature region near the surface layer. As a result, the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region of the present invention can be obtained. If the time from reaching 550°C to starting quenching is less than 0.5 s, such an effect cannot be obtained sufficiently, and the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region of 1.8 to 5.0 cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the time exceeds 4.0 s, upper bainite is excessively generated and the phase structure of the present invention cannot be obtained. Therefore, the time from 550°C to starting quenching is set to 0.5 to 4.0 s. The time is preferably 0.7 s or more. The time is preferably 2.0 s or less, more preferably 1.6 s or less.
 100~250℃の巻取り温度までの冷却速度:200℃/s以上
 上記のように、550℃に達してから急冷を開始するまでの間に0.5~4.0sの時間をおいた後、急冷を開始する。100~250℃の巻取り温度までの冷却(急冷)速度が200℃/s未満では、上部ベイナイトや残留γが過剰に生じたり、表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度の増加を招く。その結果、本発明の相組織や、表層領域における{110}<111>方位の極密度が得られなくなる。したがって、巻取り温度までの冷却速度は200℃/s以上とする。前記冷却速度は、好ましくは250℃/s以上とする。なお、前記冷却速度の上限は、特に限定されないが、形状安定性などの観点から、前記冷却速度は1000℃/以下が好ましく、500℃/s以下がより好ましい。
Cooling rate to coiling temperature of 100 to 250°C: 200°C/s or more As described above, quenching is started after a time of 0.5 to 4.0 s has elapsed between reaching 550°C and starting quenching. If the cooling (quenching) rate to coiling temperature of 100 to 250°C is less than 200°C/s, upper bainite and residual γ are excessively generated, and the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region is increased. As a result, the phase structure of the present invention and the pole density of the {110}<111> orientation in the surface layer region cannot be obtained. Therefore, the cooling rate to the coiling temperature is set to 200°C/s or more. The cooling rate is preferably set to 250°C/s or more. The upper limit of the cooling rate is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of shape stability, the cooling rate is preferably 1000°C/s or less, and more preferably 500°C/s or less.
 巻取り温度:100~250℃
 巻取り温度を100~250℃の範囲に調整することでマルテンサイトや下部ベイナイトを適度に焼戻すとともに他相を排除し、本発明の組織を得ることができる。巻取り温度が100℃未満では、このような効果が十分得られず、フレッシュマルテンサイトが過剰に生じて本発明の組織が得られなくなる。一方、巻取り温度が250℃を超えるとマルテンサイトや下部ベイナイトの焼戻しが顕著になるとともにフレッシュマルテンサイトや残留γが生成して、本発明の組織が得られなくなる。したがって、巻取り温度は100~250℃とする。巻取り温度は、好ましくは120℃以上とする。また、巻取り温度は、好ましくは220℃以下とする。
Winding temperature: 100 to 250°C
By adjusting the coiling temperature to the range of 100 to 250°C, martensite and lower bainite are appropriately tempered while other phases are eliminated, and the structure of the present invention can be obtained. If the coiling temperature is less than 100°C, such effects cannot be sufficiently obtained, and fresh martensite is excessively generated, making it impossible to obtain the structure of the present invention. On the other hand, if the coiling temperature exceeds 250°C, tempering of martensite and lower bainite becomes significant, and fresh martensite and residual γ are generated, making it impossible to obtain the structure of the present invention. Therefore, the coiling temperature is set to 100 to 250°C. The coiling temperature is preferably 120°C or higher. Moreover, the coiling temperature is preferably 220°C or lower.
 上記した製造方法の条件以外は特に限定しないが、以下のように適宜条件を調整して製造することが好ましい。例えば、仕上げ圧延は、加工性の低下を招く粗粒低減等の観点から4パス以上とすることが好ましい。また、熱間圧延後は形状矯正や表面素度の調整等のために調質圧延を施しても構わない。酸洗を行う場合は50~100℃の酸洗浴に複数回浸漬して行うことが好ましい。 There are no particular limitations other than the conditions of the manufacturing method described above, but it is preferable to manufacture by adjusting the conditions as appropriate as follows. For example, it is preferable to perform finish rolling four or more passes in order to reduce coarse grains that can cause a decrease in workability. In addition, after hot rolling, temper rolling may be performed to correct the shape and adjust the surface roughness. If pickling is performed, it is preferable to perform multiple immersions in a pickling bath at 50 to 100°C.
 本発明の高強度熱延鋼板は、後加熱後の強度、靭性、耐遅れ破壊特性に優れる。ここで、後加熱の加熱温度としては、400℃以上が挙げられる。また、後加熱の加熱温度の上限は、特に限定されないが、一例として、後加熱の加熱温度は1150℃以下が挙げられる。後加熱の加熱時間(前記加熱温度での保持時間)は、特に限定されないが、一例として、0s超が挙げられる。また、前記加熱時間は、一例として、3600s以下が挙げられる。 The high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet of the present invention has excellent strength, toughness, and delayed fracture resistance after post-heating. Here, the heating temperature of the post-heating is 400°C or higher. The upper limit of the heating temperature of the post-heating is not particularly limited, but an example of the heating temperature of the post-heating is 1150°C or lower. The heating time of the post-heating (holding time at the heating temperature) is not particularly limited, but an example of the heating time is more than 0 seconds. The heating time of the post-heating is 3600 seconds or less, for example.
 表1に示す成分組成の鋼を転炉により溶製し、スラブとした後、表2に示す条件でスラブの加熱および熱間圧延を行い、熱延鋼板(原板)を製造した。得られた熱延鋼板を用いて、以下の試験方法に従い、組織観察、固溶Ti、固溶Nb、Ti含有析出物およびNb含有析出物の分析、引張特性の評価を行った。さらに、前記熱延鋼板に表2に示す後加熱を施し、後加熱後の熱延鋼板を用いて、以下の試験方法に従い、硬さ、靭性および耐遅れ破壊特性の評価を行った。後加熱温度は伸びフランジ性の向上が認められるようになる400℃以上とし、後加熱時間は生産性の観点から3600s以下の条件で行った。 Steel having the composition shown in Table 1 was melted in a converter and formed into a slab, which was then heated and hot rolled under the conditions shown in Table 2 to produce hot-rolled steel sheet (base sheet). The resulting hot-rolled steel sheet was used to observe the structure, analyze solute Ti, solute Nb, Ti-containing precipitates, and Nb-containing precipitates, and evaluate the tensile properties according to the following test methods. Furthermore, the hot-rolled steel sheet was post-heated as shown in Table 2, and the hardness, toughness, and delayed fracture resistance were evaluated according to the following test methods using the hot-rolled steel sheet after post-heating. The post-heating temperature was 400°C or higher, at which an improvement in stretch flangeability is observed, and the post-heating time was 3600 s or less from the viewpoint of productivity.
 組織観察
 マルテンサイトおよび下部ベイナイトの面積率とは、観察面積に占める各組織の面積の割合のことである。マルテンサイトの面積率は、得られた熱延鋼板よりサンプルを切り出し、圧延方向に平行な板厚断面を研磨後、3%ナイタールで腐食し、板厚1/4位置をSEM(走査型電子顕微鏡)で1500倍の倍率でそれぞれ3視野撮影した。得られた2次電子像の画像データからMedia Cybernetics社製のImage-Proを用いて各組織の面積率を求め、3視野の平均面積率を各組織の面積率とした。組織の判定は一般的な分類により行って構わないが、例えば以下のように判定できる。画像データにおいて、下部ベイナイトは方位のそろった炭化物を含む黒または暗灰色または灰色または明灰色として区別される。マルテンサイトは規則的であるが複数の方位の炭化物を含む黒~明灰色の組織である。あるいは炭化物を含まない白色または明灰色として観察される。残留オーステナイトは炭化物を含まない白または明灰色として観察される。マルテンサイトの一部と残留オーステナイトは区別できない場合があるため、残留オーステナイトは後述する方法にて求め、SEM像から求めたマルテンサイトと残留オーステナイトの合計面積率から除してマルテンサイトの面積率を求めた。なお、焼戻しの程度が強い組織ほど、素地は黒が強いコントラストの像となるため、上記素地の色は目安であり、本発明では炭化物の量や組織形態等を総合して判断し、後述の組織を含め、特徴が近いいずれかの組織に分類した。炭化物は白色の点状または線状である。また、上記以外の組織として、フェライトは黒または暗灰色で内部に炭化物やラス等の下部組織を有さない組織であり、パーライトは黒色と白色の層状または部分的に途切れた層状組織として区別できる。また、上部ベイナイトは、黒または暗灰色で内部に炭化物やラス等の下部組織を有する組織として区別できる。残留γ量は、次のように求める。熱延鋼板を板厚の1/4+0.1mmまで研削後、化学研磨によりさらに0.1mm研磨した面を測定面とする。前記測定面について、X線回折装置でMoのKα1線を用い、fcc鉄(オーステナイト)の(200)面、(220)面、(311)面と、bcc鉄(フェライト)の(200)面、(211)面、(220)面の積分反射強度を測定する。そして、bcc鉄の各面からの積分反射強度に対するfcc鉄の各面からの積分反射強度の強度比から体積率を求め、これを残留γ量とした。
Structure observation The area ratio of martensite and lower bainite refers to the ratio of the area of each structure to the observed area. The area ratio of martensite was measured by cutting a sample from the obtained hot-rolled steel sheet, polishing the plate thickness cross section parallel to the rolling direction, corroding it with 3% nital, and photographing the plate thickness 1/4 position at a magnification of 1500 times with a SEM (scanning electron microscope) in three fields of view. The area ratio of each structure was calculated from the image data of the obtained secondary electron image using Image-Pro manufactured by Media Cybernetics, and the average area ratio of the three fields of view was taken as the area ratio of each structure. The structure may be determined by a general classification, but can be determined, for example, as follows. In the image data, lower bainite is distinguished as black or dark gray, gray, or light gray containing oriented carbides. Martensite is a structure of black to light gray that is regular but contains carbides of multiple orientations. Alternatively, it is observed as white or light gray without carbides. The retained austenite is observed as white or light gray without containing carbides. Since it may be difficult to distinguish between a part of martensite and the retained austenite, the retained austenite was obtained by the method described below, and the area ratio of the martensite was obtained by subtracting it from the total area ratio of the martensite and the retained austenite obtained from the SEM image. The stronger the degree of tempering, the stronger the contrast of the base material is in black, so the color of the base material is a guide, and in the present invention, the amount of carbides, the structure form, etc. are comprehensively judged, and the structures are classified into one of the structures with similar characteristics, including the structures described below. The carbides are white dots or lines. In addition to the above structures, ferrite is a structure that is black or dark gray and does not have a substructure such as carbides or laths inside, and pearlite can be distinguished as a black and white layered or partially interrupted layered structure. In addition, upper bainite can be distinguished as a structure that is black or dark gray and has a substructure such as carbides or laths inside. The amount of retained γ is obtained as follows. The hot-rolled steel sheet was ground to 1/4+0.1 mm of the sheet thickness, and then chemically polished to a further 0.1 mm to obtain the measurement surface. The measurement surface was measured using an X-ray diffraction apparatus with Mo Kα1 radiation to measure the integral reflection intensities of the (200), (220), and (311) surfaces of fcc iron (austenite) and the (200), (211), and (220) surfaces of bcc iron (ferrite). The volume fraction was then calculated from the intensity ratio of the integral reflection intensity from each surface of the fcc iron to the integral reflection intensity from each surface of the bcc iron, and this was taken as the amount of residual γ.

Analysis of dissolved Ti, dissolved Nb, Ti-containing precipitates, and Nb-containing precipitates A test piece with a width of 30 mm and a length of 30 mm was taken from the obtained hot-rolled steel sheet, and constant current electrolysis was performed in a non-aqueous solvent-based electrolyte (10% AA-based electrolyte: 10 vol% acetylacetone-1 mass% tetramethylammonium chloride-methanol). The current density was 20 mA/cm 2 , and the amount of electrolysis was about 0.2 g. The electrolyte after electrolysis was used as an analysis solution, and the concentrations (mass%) of Ti, Nb, and Fe as a comparative element were measured using ICP mass spectrometry. Based on the obtained concentration, the concentration ratios of Ti and Nb to Fe were calculated, and further multiplied by the content (mass%) of Fe in the test piece to obtain the amount of dissolved Ti (mass%) and the amount of dissolved Nb (mass%). The content (mass%) of Fe in the test piece was obtained by subtracting the total content (mass%) of components other than Fe from 100 mass%. Using the obtained dissolved Ti amount (mass%) and dissolved Nb amount (mass%), the ratio of the total dissolved Ti amount (mass%) and dissolved Nb amount (mass%) to the total contained Ti amount (mass%) and contained Nb amount (mass%) was calculated. On the other hand, the test piece having the precipitate attached to the surface after electrolysis was taken out from the electrolytic solution and immersed in an aqueous solution of sodium hexametaphosphate (500 mg/L) (hereinafter referred to as an aqueous SHMP solution). Then, ultrasonic vibration was applied to peel off the precipitate from the test piece and extract it into the aqueous SHMP solution. Next, the aqueous SHMP solution containing the precipitate was filtered using a filter with a pore size of 100 nm, and the precipitate collected on the 100 nm filter was decomposed with acid, and the decomposition solution was analyzed using an ICP emission spectrometer, and the absolute values of Ti and Nb in the decomposition solution were measured. The absolute values of Ti and Nb obtained were divided by the amount of electrolyte to obtain the amount of Ti and the amount of Nb (mass %) contained in the precipitates having a particle size of 100 nm or more when the total composition of the test piece was taken as 100 mass %). Next, the total of the obtained amount of Ti (mass %) and amount of Nb (mass %) was divided by the total amount of Ti (mass %) and amount of Nb (mass %) contained in the test piece to obtain the total amount of Ti (mass %) present as precipitates containing Ti having a particle size of 100 nm or more and the amount of Nb (mass %) present as precipitates containing Nb having a particle size of 100 nm or more. The amount of electrolyte was obtained by measuring the mass of the test piece after the precipitates were peeled off and subtracting it from the mass of the test piece before electrolysis.

Those that did not have cracks were judged to have excellent delayed fracture resistance after post-heating and were passed. The end faces of the test pieces were formed by shearing with a shear angle of 1° and a clearance of 10%, and burrs were bent on the outside. The "delayed fracture time (hr)" in Table 3 indicates the time when cracks occurred in the test piece. However, "96" in the "delayed fracture time (hr)" indicates that no cracks occurred in the test piece after the above 96-hr immersion.
