Abstract

PURPOSE:To reduce the weight of a structure by simplified and inexpensive means by subjecting a steel, having a specific composition containing Cr, Mo, B, Ti, etc., to hot working, to cold working at specific amount of strain, and then to specific tempering treatment. CONSTITUTION:The steel has a composition consisting of, by weight, 0.05-0.25% C, 0.10-1.00% Si, 0.50-3.00% Mn, <=0.025% P, 0.30-3.00% Cr, <=1.00% Mo, 0.0005-0.0050% B, 0.01-0.1% Ti, 0.01-0.10% Al, <=0.02% N, and the balance Fe with inevitable impurities. This steel is hot-worked and then formed into bainite structure. This non-heat-treated steel is cold worked at <=10% amount of strain and further subjected to tempering treatment at 50-300 deg.C for >=10min. By this method, the use of the non-heat-treated steel as heavy weight structural material is made possible.

2. Description of the Related Art At present, a non-heat treated steel having a tensile strength of 724 N / mm 2 is put into practical use, but recently, one step has been taken from the non-heat treated steel for the purpose of omitting steps and reducing costs. As a material for use, there is an increasing need for the development of high-strength non-heat treated steel with the aim of improving fuel efficiency through weight reduction (higher strength) in consideration of environmental issues.

Conventional non-heat treated steel has a ferrite-pearlite structure and utilizes precipitation hardening of compounds such as V and Nb during cooling after hot forging. However, its toughness is inferior to that of heat-treated steel. In addition, since it has a ferrite-pearlite structure, it is difficult to achieve both strength and toughness even if fine-grained elements such as S and Ti are added.

Therefore, a non-heat treated steel has been proposed which adjusts the chemical composition and makes the structure a bainite structure to realize high strength and high toughness. For example, a non-heat treated type material with a tensile strength of 980 N / mm 2 and a Charpy impact value of 49 J has also come to be seen. However, a disadvantage of the bainite structure is that the yield ratio (YR), that is, the yield ratio (YR) = (yield strength) / (tensile strength) is lower than that of the ferrite-pearlite system. This is a serious problem in mechanical structural parts.

If it exceeds 00%, segregation occurs at the grain boundaries, and grain boundary embrittlement becomes significant, so the Si content is limited to 0.10 to 1.00%.

Mo: 1.00% or less Like Ni, Mo is an element effective for imparting a predetermined hardenability to steel and improving static strength and toughness. Although it can be added arbitrarily, it can be added in an amount of more than 1.0%, but even if added in an amount of more than 1.0%, its effect is saturated and the economy is impaired, so the upper limit is made 1.0%.

Ti: 0.010 to 0.100% Ti has the effect of forming nitrides as TiN and refining the crystal grains. Further, in order to improve the strength and toughness by adding B, which is the object of the present invention, it is necessary to add Ti to form a nitride and fix N. The minimum amount of addition necessary for that is 0.010%. On the other hand, if the content exceeds 0.100%, a huge Ti nitride is formed and the toughness is reduced.
Therefore, the addition amount of Ti is set to 0.010 to 0.100%.

ついて以下説明する。
A so-called non-heat treated steel having such a steel composition is processed into a predetermined component shape by hot working such as hot rolling and hot forging, and then usually bainite structure is obtained by air cooling or wind blast cooling. According to the present invention, the non-heat treated steel thus formed is then subjected to further cold working and tempering treatment (aging treatment).
Hot working such as hot forging and cooling conditions are not particularly limited. Conventional means may be used. However, the cold work added in the present invention is for introducing dislocations, and is distinguished from the normal cold work for forming. Therefore, the reasons for limiting the cold working and aging treatment conditions performed in the present invention will be described below.

Cold Working: Strain Amount (Working Rate) 10% or Less In order to obtain a target yield ratio, cold working with a strain amount (working rate) of 10% or less is sufficiently effective. In particular, the effect in cold working of 1 to 10%, preferably 5% is exerted. Since it has already been formed into a predetermined shape by hot working such as forging, molding is not required.

Table 1 shows the chemical composition of the test steel, and Table 2, Table 3, Table 4 and Table 5 show the test results. In this example, the apparatus shown in FIG. 1 is used to apply the strain, and the holding section 12 of the universal testing machine 10 is used.
Strain due to tension is applied to the test material 14 whose both ends are supported, and the amount of strain is measured by the strain gauge 16 attached to the center thereof, and the data is recorded in the strain measuring instrument 20. In this example, the strain amount at the time of tensile processing is used instead.

As is clear from Tables 1 and 2, the steels manufactured according to the present invention both satisfy the target values for the tensile strength and the Charpy absorbed energy value. On the other hand, among the steels of Comparative Examples, those in which C, Si, Mn, P, Cr, B, Ti, and Al deviate higher than the specified values have poor impact properties and do not satisfy the target values.
Further, if C, B, Ti, and Al deviate below the specified values, the strength decreases and the target values are not satisfied. Furthermore, if N is higher than the specified value, the strength will decrease,
