In the case of a steel sheet having 0 kgf / mm 2 , Si, Mn, Cr
Alternatively, P has been added to increase the strength. Further, due to recent technological advances, it becomes easy to melt ultra-low carbon steel, and Ti or Nb is added to this to secure workability. On the other hand, this type of steel plate is spot-welded when assembling parts formed by press working or the like, and many techniques have been proposed for this spot welding.

For example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-310939 discloses an ultra-low carbon steel sheet to which Ti and / or Nb is added, and the recrystallization annealing temperature and time are selected to obtain a cross-sectional structure ratio of 5
It is disclosed that the joint fatigue strength of the spot welded portion is improved by optimizing the hardness distribution of the nugget portion and its periphery by leaving ˜30% of the non-recrystallized structure. However, a steel sheet having such a structure has a low elongation (El) and an average Langfoud value (r value), and has a problem in formability. In addition, manufacturing conditions are narrow, and strict temperature control is required.

In Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 63-317647, the yield strength (YP) is increased by precipitating a Ti compound having a grain size of 0.05 μm or less in an ultra low carbon steel sheet to which Ti and Nb are added at the same time. It is described that the contact resistance during spot welding is increased to improve the strength and toughness of the welded portion. In this type of steel sheet, fine precipitates tend to cause deterioration of El, and increasing YP impairs the shape fixability at the time of pressing, which is the basic performance of the ultra-low carbon steel sheet.

Further, in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 63-317648, the surface of Ti-Nb ultra-low carbon steel sheet is dulled to increase the surface roughness, thereby reducing the contact area between the steel sheets and the contact during welding. An invention has been proposed in which good resistance to spot welding is obtained by increasing the resistance.
Japanese Patent No. 7649 discloses that by adding Ti, Nb, and B in appropriate amounts, YP can be increased to increase contact resistance, and the structure after welding can be made fine to increase the strength of the welded portion. However, in the former case, the manufacturing cost is increased to increase the surface roughness, and in the latter case, when the tensile strength (TS) is increased to increase the strength, YP is further increased, and there is a fear of surface strain.

In addition, when YP-El is 0.2% or less during press molding, stretcher strain does not occur, excellent workability such as average r value (deep drawing property) and elongation (overhang property), and secondary processing.

First, Si, P, Mn, and Cr, which are typical solid solution strengthening elements, are added to the above base steel and cold rolled,
The tensile properties after annealing and temper rolling, especially the yield behavior and work hardening phenomenon were investigated in detail. As a result, Si and P, which are conventionally frequently used as solid solution strengthening elements, are as follows: a) First, the addition of a very small amount significantly increases the yield strength, and b) As a result, the work hardening rate in a low strain region is significantly reduced. There was found.

On the other hand, when Mn and Cr, which are not conventionally used as solid solution strengthening elements, are added, a) yield strength is hardly increased, b) tensile strength is increased, and c) as a result,
We obtained a very important new finding that the work hardening rate in the low strain region is increased by these additions. As a result of investigating these mechanisms, a) the yield strength is determined by the difference in atomic radius between the Fe element and the added X element, and increases as the difference in atomic radius increases. B) Work hardening rate is dislocation It was deeply related to the slip behavior of the above, and the basic principle was established that, when the stacking fault energy was lowered by the addition of the X element, the cross slip of dislocations became difficult and the work hardening rate increased.
According to this, the atomic radii of Si and P are much smaller than that of Fe, and hence the difference in atomic radii becomes larger, so that the yield strength increases remarkably. The atomic radii of Mn and Cr are very close to those of Fe, so that the yield strength changes almost. It can be understood that it was not made. On the other hand, although the influence on the stacking fault energy is not always clear, from the observation result of the dislocation structure after the initial work hardening, Si and P have almost no influence on the stacking fault energy within the investigated addition amount range, It became clear for the first time that Mn and Cr tended to reduce this.

According to the above mechanism, it is considered that when Mn and Cr are added, the yield strength hardly changes, the work hardening rate increases, and the tensile strength increases. Such characteristic behavior is due to the above-mentioned object of the present invention, that is, low YP and high W.
In order to achieve the characteristics of H, it means that it is difficult to add Si and P in the related art, and the addition of Mn and Cr is essential. Therefore, in the present invention, the positive use of Mn and Cr is the basic means of the invention. However, since the desired strength may not be obtained and the manufacturing cost may be increased only by adding Mn and Cr, the combined use with Si and P is also considered.

Secondly, the present inventors have obtained a new finding that coating bake hardenability is also improved by positively adding Mn and Cr. In the present invention, Ti and Nb are used to secure workability.
Is used as a base, but in this case, since C and N are generally fixed to Ti and Nb, there is no bake hardenability, or there is little.
This is because the affinity between C and N and Ti and Nb is very strong, so that (Ti + N)
b) When the amount is larger than the (C + N) amount, the solid solution (C
+ N) is unlikely to remain. However, even in such a case, the new fact that the BH property can be imparted by positively adding Mn and Cr suggests that the solubility products of TiC and NbC have changed. That is,
Since Mn and Cr have an interaction of attractive force with C, TiC
It is considered that the solid solution C in the matrix in equilibrium with NbC and NbC is further stabilized and the solubility product of these precipitates is increased, and as a result, the amount of remaining solid solution C is increased and the BH property is improved. Therefore, addition of Mn and Cr can be utilized as a new means for imparting paint bake hardenability.

Since the grain boundaries are strengthened similarly to the above, it is also effective as a means for preventing secondary work embrittlement, which is known as a drawback of ultra-low carbon steel. It is well known that secondary working embrittlement is promoted by the presence of P segregated at the grain boundaries.
Has an interaction between P and attractive force, and reduces the amount of segregated P, so that it was found that it is also effective in preventing embrittlement in secondary working.

In order to assemble a press-molded part such as an automobile, the welding work must be carried out efficiently, and for that purpose, it is important that the spot weldability is excellent. In general, it is known that the spot weldability is superior as the lower limit of the welding aptitude current is lower. It is also well known that the lower limit of the welding aptitude current is required to be lower as the yield strength of the steel sheet is higher. This is because when the yield strength of the steel sheet is high, local deformation is less likely to occur due to the pressure applied from the electrode during spot welding, so that the contact area between the electrode and the steel sheet becomes small. As described above, the steel of the present invention is designed to reduce YP as much as possible from the viewpoint of surface strain resistance during pressing. However, since the WH is very high, the yield strength after press forming is about the same as that of the high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet using ordinary P or Si, and both spot weldability and surface strain resistance can be achieved. .

Further, in the spot welded portion, fatigue fracture may occur due to repetitive stress when the vehicle is running,
Excellent fatigue strength after spot welding is also a very important issue. In the steel of the present invention, since Mn and Cr are positively added, the transformation structure by spot welding becomes fine, and it has been found that the fatigue strength of the spot welded portion is remarkably excellent. On the other hand, in a conventional high-strength steel sheet to which P or Si is added, spot weldability and fatigue strength after welding are extremely low. In such a steel sheet, although the yield strength is high, it is considered that the main cause of the characteristic deterioration is that the crystal grains are remarkably coarsened by heating during welding.

Nowadays, with the progress of rust prevention of automobile bodies and the like, the trend toward the use of surface-treated steel sheets is remarkable. Surface treatment methods for steel sheets are roughly classified into electroplating and hot dip coating. The former generally has good plating adhesion regardless of the type of steel sheet, but has a problem that it is difficult to make a thick basis weight and the cost becomes high. On the other hand, the latter does not have the drawback of the former, but depending on the type of steel sheet, the plating adhesion is deteriorated or the Fe-Zn alloying reaction is greatly affected. The present inventors have found that the steel of the present invention which suppresses the addition amounts of Si and P, which are often used as strengthening elements in conventional steel, and utilizes Mn and Cr, is alloyed and melted by a continuous hot dip galvanizing process of a Zenzimer system. In the manufacture of galvanized steel sheets, we also gained new knowledge with the following advantages. That is, since Si and P suppress the alloying reaction between Zn and Fe, when producing a steel sheet containing a large amount of these elements, the line speed must be reduced and productivity must be reduced. Further, the addition of Si deteriorates the adhesion of the plating and causes various problems during press molding. On the other hand, it has been found that the addition of Mn and Cr does not have such an adverse effect. Although the mechanism is not always clear, a) Mn segregated on the surface changes the type and morphology of the oxide remaining after reduction to improve plating adhesion, and b) Mn.
It is presumed that Cr and Cr have a role of reducing the amount of P segregated at the grain boundaries through the interaction with P and normalizing the alloying reaction. This point was also utilized as a solution to the problems of the conventional method. The present invention is constructed based on such an idea and new knowledge.

The reasons for limiting the components and characteristic values in the present invention as described above will be further described below. C content: C is a very important element that determines the material properties of the product. The present invention is premised on a vacuum degassed ultra low carbon steel, but if C is less than 0.0003%, the grain boundary strength decreases, secondary work embrittlement occurs, and the manufacturing cost significantly increases. . On the other hand, if the C content exceeds 0.01%, the strength increases, but the formability remarkably decreases, so the range is made 0.0003% to 0.01%.

Si amount: Si is known as an element that increases the strength at a low cost, and the addition amount may be changed according to the target strength level, and the lower limit may be 0.005. On the other hand, when the addition amount is increased, YP rises too much and surface strain occurs during pressing. Further, problems such as deterioration of chemical conversion treatment property and adhesiveness of hot dip galvanizing, and deterioration of productivity due to delay of alloy reaction occur. It also deteriorates the fatigue resistance of the spot welds. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 0.8%.

Mn content: Mn is an effective solid solution strengthening element that does not significantly increase the yield strength and increases the strength, imparts bake hardenability, prevents secondary work brittleness, and further spot welding. Since it has the effect of improving the fatigue resistance of the part and improving the chemical conversion treatment property and the hot dip galvanizing property, it is positively added in the present invention. However, if added in an excessively large amount, the yield strength remarkably increases and the ductility decreases, so the upper limit is made 3.0%. The lower limit is C
It is determined in consideration of the r content, but 0.3% or more is necessary.

Cr content: Cr and Mn are both effective elements that increase the yield strength with almost no increase in yield strength.
In addition to imparting bake hardenability and preventing secondary work brittleness, it improves fatigue strength after spot welding, so it is actively used in the present invention. However, if the amount of Cr is large, the pickling property of the hot-rolled sheet deteriorates and the chemical conversion treatment property of the product sheet deteriorates, so the upper limit is made 3%.

P content: P is known as an element that increases the strength at a low cost, and is often used in conventional solid solution strengthened high strength steel sheets. However, if the addition amount exceeds 0.12%, even if Mn and Cr are positively added as in the present invention, a) the yield strength is excessively increased to cause a surface shape defect during pressing, or b). Secondary processing embrittlement may occur. Further, c) the alloying reaction during continuous hot-dip galvanizing becomes extremely slow, and the productivity is reduced. Furthermore, d) the fatigue strength after spot welding is significantly reduced. Therefore, the upper limit value is set to 0.12%.
