Ein für diese Einsatzzwecke bestimmtes hochfestes, gut verformbares Warmband und ein Verfahren zu seiner Herstellung sind aus der EP 0 295 500 B1 bekannt. Der für die Erzeugung des bekannten Warmbands verwendete Stahl enthält neben Eisen und den herstellungsbedingt unvermeidbaren Verunreinigungen (in Gew.-%) 0,15 bis weniger als 0,3 % C, 0,5 bis 2,0 % Si, 0,5 bis 2,0 % Mn. Zusätzlich können in dem Stahl 0,0005 bis 0,0100 Ca oder 0,005 bis 0,050 % Seltenerdmetalle enthalten sein.A high-strength, good for these purposes malleable hot strip and a method to his Production are known from EP 0 295 500 B1. The for the production of the known hot strip used steel contains besides iron and the production-related unavoidable impurities (in% by weight) 0.15 to less than 0.3% C, 0.5 to 2.0% Si, 0.5 to 2.0% Mn. In addition, in the steel, 0.0005 to 0.0100 Ca or 0.005 to 0.050% rare earth metals.

Der bekannte Stahl wird gemäß der EP 0 295 500 B1 in einer Warmwalzstaffel mit einer Warmwalzendtemperatur warmgewalzt, die mit maximal 50 °C von der Ar3-Temperatur abweicht. Im Anschluss an das Warmwalzen wird das Warmband auf dem sich an die Warmwalzstaffel anschließenden Rollgang gesteuert abgekühlt, wobei die EP 0 295 500 B1 zwei Wege dieser gesteuerten Abkühlung vorgibt. Auf dem ersten Weg wird das Band in einer ersten Stufe bei relativ niedrigen Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten von 15 bis 45 K/s und dann in einer zweiten Stufe mit einer jeweils erhöhten Abkühlgeschwindigkeit gekühlt, die zwischen 35 bis 80 K/s lag. Bei der anderen Variante erfolgt die Abkühlung dreistufig mit Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten, die in der ersten Stufe 50 bis 85 K/s, in der zweiten Stufe 10 bis 45 K/s und in der dritten Stufe 35 bis 80 K/s betrug. Die bei beiden Varianten erreichten Haspeltemperaturen lagen zwischen 370 bis 520 °C.The known steel is according to EP 0 295 500 B1 in a Hot rolling stand with a hot rolling end temperature hot rolled, with a maximum of 50 ° C from the Ar3 temperature differs. Following hot rolling, the hot strip is on the following to the hot roll relay roller table controlled cooled, the EP 0 295 500 B1 two ways this controlled cooling pretends. On the first way The band will be at a relatively low level in a first stage Cooling speeds of 15 to 45 K / s and then in one second stage with a raised respectively Cooling cooled, which is between 35 to 80 K / s was. In the other variant, the cooling takes place three-stage with cooling rates in the first Stage 50 to 85 K / s, in the second stage 10 to 45 K / s and in the third stage was 35 to 80 K / s. The two Variants achieved reel temperatures were between 370 up to 520 ° C.

Zusätzlich zu der mehrstufigen Abkühlung wird gemäß dem aus der EP 0 295 500 B1 bekannten Verfahren eine Abkühlung des Warmbandes im Coil durchgeführt. Dabei wird das Band mit einer Abkühlgeschwindigkeit von mindestens 30 °C/h auf eine unter 200 °C liegende Temperatur beschleunigt abgekühlt.In addition to the multi-stage cooling is in accordance with the EP 0 295 500 B1 known method cooling the Hot strip performed in the coil. This is the tape with a cooling rate of at least 30 ° C / h on a Temperature below 200 ° C accelerated cooled.

Warmband, das in dieser Weise hergestellt worden ist, besitzt eine aus Ferrit, Restaustenit und Bainit gebildete Struktur. Die Bildung von Perlit und Martensit ist dabei weitestgehend unterdrückt, um die Bildung von Restaustenit nicht zu behindern.Hot-rolled strip produced in this way has one formed from ferrite, retained austenite and bainite Structure. The formation of perlite and martensite is included largely suppressed to the formation of retained austenite not to hinder.

Das gemäß dem bekannten Verfahren hergestellte Warmband weist zwar eine hohe Festigkeit bei hoher Dehnbarkeit auf. In der Praxis zeigt sich jedoch, dass seine Herstellung aufwändig ist. Auch zeigt sich im Fall plötzlicher Belastungen durch hohe kinetische Energien, wie sie beispielsweise bei Kraftfahrzeugen bei einem Unfall typischerweise auftreten, dass es nur schwer möglich ist, mit dem bekannten Stahl die immer weiter steigenden Anforderungen an ein optimiertes Crash-Verhalten zu erfüllen. Hinzu kommt, dass die konventionelle Fertigung des bekannten Warmbandes aufwändig ist. The hot strip produced according to the known method Although has a high strength at high ductility. In practice, however, shows that its production is expensive. Also shows in the case of sudden Strains of high kinetic energies, like them for example, in motor vehicles in an accident typically occur that it is difficult to with the well-known steel the ever increasing Requirements for optimized crash behavior too fulfill. On top of that, conventional manufacturing the known hot strip is expensive.

Die der Erfindung zu Grunde liegende Aufgabe bestand daher darin, ein kostengünstig und praxisgerecht durchführbares Verfahren anzugeben, welches zuverlässig die Herstellung von hinsichtlich ihrer Festigkeits- und Verformungseigenschaften optimierten Warmbändern ermöglicht.The task underlying the invention was therefore therein, a cost-effective and practical feasible Specify method, which reliably the production in terms of their strength and Deformation properties of optimized hot strips allows.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Verfahren zum Herstellen eines warmgewalzten Stahlbands gelöst, das perlitfrei ist, TRIP-Eigenschaften besitzt und eine Zugfestigkeit von mindestens 600 MPa aufweist.

This object is achieved according to the invention by a method for producing a hot-rolled steel strip which is pearlite-free, has TRIP properties and has a tensile strength of at least 600 MPa. According to the invention, this hot strip is produced in a continuously running working process in which at least the following work steps are carried out:
  • Casting a molten steel, in addition to iron and unavoidable impurities (in wt .-%) 0.06 - 0.3% C, 0.1 - 3.0% Si, 0.3 - 1.1% Mn, the sum from the contents of Si and Mn is 1.5-3.5%, at least one of the elements Ti or Nb in contents of 0.005-0.15% each, and optionally individually or in combination max. 0.8% Cr, max. 0.8% Mo, max. 1% Cu and max. 1% Ni, contains, to thin slabs,

Gemäß der Erfindung wird in einem kontinuierlich ablaufenden Verfahren, wie es typisch auf einer Gießwalzanlage durchführbar ist, ein TRIP-Eigenschaften besitzendes Warmband erzeugt, welches aufgrund einer optimierten Abstimmung seiner Legierungsgehalte und der Art und Weise seiner Herstellung eine Kombination von Verformungseigenschaften und Festigkeitswerten aufweist, die einerseits seine Verarbeitung vereinfacht und andererseits zu einem verbesserten Kraftaufnahmevermögen im Fall plötzlicher Belastung durch hohe Verformungsenergien beiträgt.According to the invention is in a continuous ongoing procedures, as is typical on one Cast rolling mill is feasible, a TRIP properties owning hot strip produced, which due to a optimized tuning of its alloy contents and type and way of making it a combination of Having deformation properties and strength values, on the one hand simplifies its processing and on the other hand to an improved power absorption in the Fall of sudden stress due to high deformation energies contributes.

Der Si- und Mn-Gehalt des verarbeiteten Stahles sind dabei so abgestimmt, dass im erhaltenen Warmband eine für die Erzielung des TRIP-Effekts ausreichende Menge an Restaustenit gewährleistet ist. Mangan stabilisiert den nach der gesteuerten Abkühlung im Stahl verbleibenden Restaustenit. Die Anwesenheit von Silizium unterstützt einerseits die Bildung von Ferrit und verbessert zudem die Dehnbarkeit des Stahls. Andererseits wirkt sich der Silizium-Gehalt günstig im Hinblick auf die Anreicherung des im Zuge der Warmbanderzeugung nicht umgewandelten Austenits mit Kohlenstoff aus. Neben den die mechanischen Eigenschaften verbessernden Effekten bewirkt die erfindungsgemäße Beschränkung der Si- und Mn-Gehalte auch eine Verbesserung der Oberflächenbeschaffenheit der Warmbänder. Besonders sicher stellen sich diese Wirkungen dann ein, wenn die Summe aus den Gehalten an Silizium und Mangan 1,5 - 2,5 Gew.-%, insbesondere 1,8 - 2,3 Gew.-%, beträgt.The Si and Mn content of the processed steel are included adjusted so that in the received hot strip one for the Achieving the TRIP effect sufficient amount Restaustenit is guaranteed. Manganese stabilizes the remaining after the controlled cooling in the steel Austenite. The presence of silicon supports on the one hand, the formation of ferrite and also improves the Extensibility of the steel. On the other hand, the affects Silicon content favorable in terms of enrichment of the not converted in the course of hot strip production Austenite with carbon out. In addition to the mechanical Properties improving effects causes the Limitation of the Si and Mn contents according to the invention also an improvement of the surface finish of the Hot strips. These effects are especially certain then one, if the sum of the contents of silicon and Manganese 1.5-2.5% by weight, in particular 1.8-2.3% by weight, is.

Wesentlicher Bestandteil der erfindungsgemäß verarbeiteten Legierung ist neben den Gehalten an Silizium und Mangan der Gehalt an mindestens einem der Elemente Niob und Titan. TRIP-Stähle enthalten Restaustenit und weisen infolgedessen den Effekt der sogenannten "TRansformation Induced Plasticity" auf. Wesentlich ist dabei die erfindungsgemäß vorgeschriebene Kombination aus der Verfahrensführung über eine Gießwalzanlage und dem Vorhandensein von Ti und/oder Nb.Essential part of the invention processed Alloy is in addition to the levels of silicon and manganese the Content of at least one of the elements niobium and titanium. TRIP steels contain retained austenite and consequently exhibit the effect of the so-called "TRANSformation Induced Plasticity. "It is essential according to the invention prescribed combination of the procedure over a casting mill and the presence of Ti and / or Nb.

Diese Mikrolegierungselemente werden bei der konventionellen Erzeugung über Brammenguss in der Bramme ausgeschieden und gehen nur teilweise bei der Erwärmung der Bramme vor dem Warmwalzen wieder in Lösung. Bei der erfindungsgemäß vorgeschriebenen Erzeugung einer Dünnbramme bleiben diese Elemente bedingt durch die zwischen der Dünnbrammenerzeugung und dem Warmwalzen in der Regel in einem Tunnelofen im Durchlauf erfolgende Wärmezufuhr dagegen bis zum Beginn des Warmwalzens in Lösung. Diese Ausscheidungen verbessern die Kornfeinung des fertigen Warmbands und tragen einerseits zu einer Erhöhung des Restaustenitanteils und andererseits zu einer Stabilisierung des Restaustenits gegen eine Umwandlung in Martensit bei. Erfindungsgemäß erzeugter und zusammengesetzter Stahl ist daher in der Lage, höhere Belastungen zu ertragen. Diese Eigenschaft macht ihn besonders geeignet für die Herstellung von so genannten "crash-relevanten" Bauteilen, die beispielsweise bei einem Unfall plötzlich hohen Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt sind. Durch die gegebenenfalls kombinierte, notwendige Anwesenheit von Niob und/oder Titan in Gehalten von jeweils bis zu 0,15 Gew.-% werden so in Kombination mit dem erfindungsgemäß eingeschlagenen Verfahrensweg die Verformbarkeit des Warmbands selbst und die Verfestigungsprozesse im Fall einer Verformung eines aus dem erfindungsgemäß erzeugten Warmband hergestellten Bauteils gezielt verbessert.These micro-alloying elements are used in the conventional production via slab casting in the slab excreted and go only partially in the warming of the Slab before hot rolling back into solution. In the According to the invention prescribed generation of a thin slab these elements remain due to the between the Thin slab production and hot rolling usually in a tunnel furnace in passing heat supply however, until the beginning of hot rolling in solution. These Excretions improve the grain refinement of the finished Hotbands and contribute on the one hand to an increase in the Restaustenitanteils and on the other hand to a Stabilization of retained austenite against conversion into Martensite at. Produced according to the invention and Composite steel is therefore capable of higher Endure stress. This property makes him especially suitable for the production of so-called "crash-relevant" components, for example, in a Accident suddenly exposed to high stresses. By possibly combined, necessary Presence of niobium and / or titanium in levels of each up to 0.15 wt .-% are so in combination with the According to the invention taken process path the Deformability of the hot strip itself and the Solidification processes in the case of deformation of a produced according to the invention produced hot strip Component specifically improved.

Nach dem Vergießen des erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Stahls zu Dünnbrammen, deren Dicke typisch 40 bis 70 mm beträgt, laufen die erhaltenen Dünnbrammen mit Temperaturen, die im Bereich von 850 - 1050 °C in einen Tunnelofen ein. Bevorzugt beträgt die Einlauftemperatur nicht weniger als 950 °C, um die Bildung von Ausscheidungen in diesem Stadium der Warmbanderzeugung zu vermeiden.After casting the steel used in the invention to thin slabs whose thickness is typically 40 to 70 mm, The obtained thin slabs run with temperatures in the Range from 850 - 1050 ° C in a tunnel kiln. Preferably, the inlet temperature is not less than 950 ° C to the formation of excreta at this stage to avoid the warm strip production.

In dem Ofen werden die Dünnbrammen bei 1000 - 1200 °C im Durchlauf geglüht. Die Tunnelofentemperatur ist dabei vorzugsweise auf den Bereich von 1000 - 1050 °C beschränkt, um eine übermäßige Zunderbildung zu vermeiden. Auf diese Weise wird der bei ca. 900 °C liegende Temperaturbereich sicher umgangen, bei dem es im erfindungsgemäß verwendeten Stahl zu einem Ausscheidungsmaximum kommt. Stattdessen werden die Mikrolegierungselemente in Lösung gehalten mit der Folge, dass sie im fertigen Produkt feiner und homogener verteilt vorliegen.In the furnace, the thin slabs at 1000 - 1200 ° C in Flow annealed. The tunnel oven temperature is included preferably limited to the range of 1000 - 1050 ° C, to avoid excessive scale formation. To this Way is the lying at about 900 ° C temperature range safely bypassed using it in the invention Steel comes to a precipitation maximum. Instead the micro-alloying elements are kept in solution with the consequence that they are finer and finer in the finished product distributed more homogeneously.

Zum selben Zweck ist die Verweilzeit im Tunnelofen auf 10 - 60 Minuten, bevorzugt 15 - 35 Minuten, beschränkt. Darüber hinaus bewirkt die Beschränkung der Glühdauer unmittelbar eine Erhöhung der Ausbringung der erfindungsgemäß eingesetzten Gieß-Walz-Anlage. For the same purpose, the residence time in the tunnel furnace on 10 to 60 minutes, preferably 15 to 35 minutes. In addition, the restriction causes the annealing time immediately increase the output of the Casting-rolling plant used according to the invention.

Auch wenn es bei der durch die Erfindung vorgegebenen Vorgehensweise insgesamt zur Entstehung geringerer Zundermengen auf den Oberflächen der verarbeiteten Dünnbrammen kommt, werden die Dünnbrammen nach dem Glühen in einem Zunderwäscher gezielt entzundert. Der Druck, mit dem dabei die Reinigungsflüssigkeit, in der Regel Wasser, auf die Brammen gegeben wird, beträgt erfindungsgemäß mindestens 300 bar, um eine weitestgehende Entfernung aller auf den Oberflächen der Bramme vorhandenen Rückstände zu erreichen. Besonders die auf den Brammen vorhandene Menge an Fayalit, welches andernfalls im weiteren Prozess die Bildung von unerwünschtem Rotzunder verursachen kann, wird auf diese Weise weitestgehend entfernt.Even if it is given by the invention Overall approach to the emergence of lesser Scale amounts on the surfaces of the processed Thin slab comes, the thin slabs become after annealing descaled in a scale washer. The pressure, with while doing the cleaning liquid, usually water, is placed on the slabs is according to the invention at least 300 bar, to a distance as far as possible Residues on the surfaces of the slab too to reach. Especially the amount present on the slabs at Fayalit, which otherwise in the further process the Formation of unwanted Rotzunder can cause far removed in this way.

In der anschließend durchlaufenen Fertigwalzstaffel werden aus den Dünnbrammen bei Warmwalzendtemperaturen von 750 bis 1000 °C Warmbänder gewalzt, deren Dicke typischerweise 0,8 - 10 mm beträgt. Durch die innerhalb des vorgegebenen Temperaturbereichs jeweils konkret gewählte Endtemperatur lässt sich die Feinheit und die Zusammensetzung der Struktur der erhaltenen Warmbänder beeinflussen. So kann schon dadurch, dass das Fertigwalzen unterhalb der Ar3-Temperatur beendet wird, eine verfeinerte Körnung erreicht werden. Über der Ar3-Temperatur liegende Warmwalzendtemperaturen können eingestellt werden, wenn größere Mengen an Restaustenit gebildet werden sollen.In the subsequently completed finish rolling mill from the thin slabs at hot rolling end temperatures of 750 to Rolled 1000 ° C hot strips whose thickness is typically 0.8-10 mm. By within the given Temperature range in each case specifically selected final temperature can the fineness and the composition of the Structure of the obtained hot strip influence. So can already by the fact that the finish rolling below the Ar3 temperature finished, achieved a refined grain become. Above the Ar3 temperature Hot rolling temperatures can be adjusted if larger amounts of retained austenite are to be formed.

Im Hinblick auf die Feinheit der Struktur des erhaltenen Warmbandes hat es sich darüber hinaus als günstig erwiesen, wenn der während des Fertigwarmwalzens erzielte Gesamtumformgrad ϕges 1,8 - 3,7 beträgt. Auf diese Weise ist eine ausreichende Zerstörung des Gussgefüges der Brammen sichergestellt und es wird eine optimierte Feinkörnigkeit des erhalten Warmbandes erzielt. Dies ist insbesondere dann der Fall, wenn der über das Warmwalzen erzielte Umformgrad ϕges mindestens 2,5 beträgt. Unterstützt werden kann die Ausbildung eines feinkörnigen Gefüges zudem dadurch, dass, wenn das Fertigwalzen in mehreren Stichen durchgeführt wird, die Verformung im letzten Stich des Warmwalzens mindestens 5 %, bevorzugt 15 - 25 %, beträgt.In view of the fineness of the structure of the resulting hot strip, it has also proved to be favorable if the Gesamtumformgrad φ ges achieved during the final hot rolling is 1.8-3.7. In this way, a sufficient destruction of the cast structure of the slabs is ensured and it is achieved an optimized fine grain of the hot strip obtained. This is the case in particular when the degree of deformation φ ges achieved via hot rolling is at least 2.5. The formation of a fine-grained microstructure can also be assisted by the fact that, if the finish rolling is carried out in several passes, the deformation in the last pass of the hot rolling is at least 5%, preferably 15-25%.

Die durch die verschiedenen Maßnahmen der erfindungsgemäßen Vorgehensweise erreichte Feinkörnigkeit trägt nicht nur zur Verformbarkeit, sondern gemeinsam mit der chemischen Zusammensetzung des verarbeiteten Stahls auch zur Stabilisierung des erwünschten Restaustenitanteils bei. So behindert die feine Verteilung der einzelnen im erfindungsgemäß erzeugten Warmband vorhandenen Phasen auch auf mechanische Weise die Umwandlung des Restaustenits in Martensit. Das erfindungsgemäße Warmband weist infolge dessen in Bezug auf den Restaustenitanteil nicht nur eine hohe chemische, sondern auch eine hohe geometrische Stabilität auf. Diese Stabilität des Gefüges trägt dazu bei, dass noch im aus dem Warmband erzeugten fertigen Bauteil Restaustenit vorliegen kann.The through the various measures of the invention The achieved fine graininess not only contributes to Deformability, but together with the chemical Composition of processed steel also to Stabilization of the desired Restaustenitanteils at. So hinders the fine distribution of the individual According to the invention produced hot strip existing phases also in a mechanical way the transformation of the retained austenite into Martensite. The hot strip according to the invention has due its not only one in terms of the retained austenite content high chemical but also a high geometric Stability on. This stability of the structure contributes to it in that still finished in produced from the hot strip Component residual austenite may be present.

Die nach dem Warmwalzen erfolgende gesteuerte Abkühlung hat ebenfalls wesentlichen Einfluss auf die Ausprägung der Gefügestruktur und mechanischen Eigenschaften des fertigen Warmbands. So lassen sich durch die Abkühlung gezielt die Anteile der einzelnen Phasen sowie die Festigkeits- und Dehnungseigenschaften beeinflussen. Gemäß einer ersten Variante der Erfindung erfolgt die gesteuerte Abkühlung zu diesem Zweck, indem das Warmband in einer ersten Stufe ausgehend von der Warmwalzendtemperatur mit einer Abkühlgeschwindigkeit von 70 bis 500 K/s auf eine 600 - 750 °C betragende Zwischentemperatur gekühlt wird, indem das Warmband anschließend in einer zweiten Stufe für 2 bis 13 Sekunden an Luft abkühlt und indem das Warmband daraufhin in einer dritten Stufe mit einer 30 bis 200 K/s betragenden Abkühlgeschwindigkeit auf eine Haspeltemperatur gekühlt wird, die 300 - 530 °C beträgt. Eine möglichst hohe Abkühlgeschwindigkeit in der ersten Stufe der Abkühlung wirkt sich dabei positiv auf die im erhaltenen Warmband enthaltene Restaustenitmenge aus. Daher beträgt nach einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform dieser Variante der gesteuerten Abkühlung die Abkühlgeschwindigkeit in der ersten Stufe der Abkühlung mindestens 150 K/s, bevorzugt 300 K/s.The post-warming controlled cooling has also a significant influence on the expression of the Microstructure and mechanical properties of the finished Hot strip. So can be targeted by the cooling the Shares of the individual phases and the strength and Affect elongation properties. According to a first Variant of the invention is the controlled cooling to this purpose, placing the hot strip in a first stage starting from the hot rolling end temperature with a Cooling speed of 70 to 500 K / s on a 600-750 ° C intermediate temperature is cooled, by placing the hot strip in a second stage for 2 to 13 seconds in air cools and by the hot strip then in a third stage with a 30 to 200 K / s amounting cooling speed on a reel temperature is cooled, which is 300 - 530 ° C. The highest possible Cooling rate in the first stage of cooling has a positive effect on the hot strip obtained contained Austenitmenge from. Therefore, after one preferred embodiment of this variant of the controlled Cooling the cooling rate in the first stage of the Cooling at least 150 K / s, preferably 300 K / s.

Nach der ersten Phase der schnellen Abkühlung erfolgt in der zweiten Phase eine Kühlpause, um die Bildung von größeren Mengen an Ferrit und die Anreicherung des Restaustenits mit Kohlenstoff zu ermöglichen. Die Dauer der zweiten Stufe der Abkühlung kann zu diesem Zweck bevorzugt auf 4 bis 8 Sekunden beschränkt werden. Anschließend wird in der dritten Stufe die beschleunigte Abkühlung fortgesetzt, um die Bildung von Perlit und das Kornwachstum zu unterdrücken.After the first phase of rapid cooling takes place in the second phase a cooling break to the formation of larger amounts of ferrite and the accumulation of To allow residual austenite with carbon. The duration of the second stage of cooling may be preferred for this purpose be limited to 4 to 8 seconds. Subsequently, will in the third stage the accelerated cooling continued to the formation of perlite and grain growth to suppress.

Eine andere Variante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass die gesteuerte Abkühlung dadurch erfolgt, dass das Warmband mit einer Abkühlgeschwindigkeit von 10 bis 70 K/s kontinuierlich von der Warmwalzendtemperatur auf die Haspeltemperatur gekühlt wird. Auch auf diese Weise lässt sich ein Warmband mit der erfindungsgemäß angestrebten Gefügestruktur erzeugen.Another variant of the invention provides that the controlled cooling takes place in that the hot strip with a cooling rate of 10 to 70 K / s continuously from the hot rolling end temperature to the Reel temperature is cooled. Also in this way lets a hot strip with the invention sought after Create microstructure.

Schließlich ist es möglich, die Abkühlung so zu steuern, dass das Warmband in einer ersten Stufe innerhalb von 1 - 7 Sekunden auf eine Temperatur abgekühlt wird, die etwa 80 °C über der Haspeltemperatur liegt, und dass das Warmband anschließend an Luft auf die Haspeltemperatur abkühlt, die im Bereich von 300 bis 530 °C liegt. Bei dieser Variante der gesteuerten Abkühlung erfolgt im ersten Schritt eine besonders schnelle Abkühlung mit der Folge, dass sich ein besonders feines Gefüge mit hohem Restaustenitanteil und hoher Festigkeit einstellt.Finally, it is possible to control the cooling so that the hot strip is in a first stage within 1 to 7 seconds to a temperature that is about 80 ° C is above the reel temperature, and that the Hot strip then in air on the reel temperature cools, which is in the range of 300 to 530 ° C. at This variant of the controlled cooling takes place in the first Step a particularly fast cooling with the consequence that a particularly fine structure with high Restaustenitanteil and high strength sets.

Unabhängig, welche der voranstehend erläuterten Varianten der gesteuerten Abkühlung eingesetzt werden, kühlt das Warmband nach dem Haspeln im Coil weiter ab. Damit es dabei nicht zur Bildung von unerwünscht großen Mengen an Bainit auf Kosten des Restaustenits kommt, ist es günstig, wenn das Warmband nach einer Ruhezeit im Coil beschleunigt abgekühlt wird. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass sich die gewünschte Aufteilung der einzelnen Phasen-Anteile einstellt, wenn die beschleunigte Kühlung des Coils nach einer im Bereich von 2 bis 30 liegenden Ruhezeit beginnt. Dabei lässt sich die Abkühlung durch Beaufschlagung des Coils mit einem Kühlfluid beschleunigen. Abhängig von den jeweils erforderlichen Abkühlgeschwindigkeiten kann dazu eine Flüssigkeit, beispielsweise Wasser, oder ein Luftstrom eingesetzt werden.Independently, which of the above-explained variants the controlled cooling are used, the cools Hot strip after reeling in the coil continues from. To do it not to the formation of undesirably large amounts of bainite comes at the expense of residual austenite, it is favorable if The hot strip accelerates after a rest period in the coil is cooled. It has been shown that the desired division of the individual phase components adjusts when the accelerated cooling of the coil after a rest period ranging from 2 to 30 starts. In this case, the cooling by applying the Accelerate coils with a cooling fluid. Depending on the each required cooling rates can do so a liquid, such as water, or an air stream be used.

Das erfindungsgemäß erzeugte Warmband weist jeweils mindestens drei der Gefügebestandteile Ferrit, Bainit, Restaustenit oder Martensit auf. Dabei sollte die Summe der Gehalte an Martensit und Restaustenit mindestens 8 % betragen. Möglichst geringe Martensitgehalte sind angestrebt, um einen Kohlenstoffverlust zu Ungunsten des Restaustenits zu vermeiden. Dementsprechend sieht die Erfindung vor, dass der Kohlenstoffgehalt des Restaustenits mehr als 1 % betragen soll. Dieser Kohlenstoffgehalt lässt sich beispielsweise röntgenographisch ermitteln. The hot strip produced according to the invention has in each case at least three of the structural components ferrite, bainite, Retained austenite or martensite. The sum of the Content of martensite and retained austenite at least 8% be. As low as possible martensite contents are sought to reduce carbon loss to the detriment of the To avoid residual austenite. Accordingly sees the Invention that the carbon content of the retained austenite more than 1%. This carbon content leaves For example, determine by X-ray.

Durch die erfindungsgemäße Weise der Herstellung lassen sich Warmbänder erzeugen, bei denen das Produkt RM*A5 aus Zugfestigkeit Rm und Bruchdehnung A5 mindestens 19.000 MPa*% und das Produkt Rm*A80 aus Zugfestigkeit Rm und Bruchdehnung A80 mindestens 16.000 MPa*%, insbesondere 17.000 MPa*%, beträgt.Leave the method of manufacture according to the invention Produce hot strips where the product RM * A5 is made Tensile strength Rm and elongation at break A5 at least 19,000 MPa *% and the product Rm * A80 from tensile strength Rm and elongation at break A80 at least 16,000 MPa *%, in particular 17,000 MPa *%.

Erfindungsgemäß erzeugtes Warmband eignet sich in besonderer Weise zur Verwendung im Fahrzeugbau, im Stahlbau, im allgemeinen Maschinen- und Apparatebau sowie im Schiffsbau.According to the invention produced hot strip is suitable in special way for use in vehicle construction, in Steel construction, in general machine and apparatus construction as well in shipbuilding.
