  • Steel sheets which are used as structural members among automotive components must be able to effectively absorb external impacts, thereby improving the safety of passengers when vehicles collide.
  • steel sheets having excellent strength and formability such as a tensile strength of 780 MPa higher and an elongation of 25% or higher, have been mainly used as such structural members.
  • steel sheets need to have high tensile strength, high elongation and low yield ratio (ratio of yield strength to tensile strength).
  • an increasing amount of studies have focused on reducing the weight of automobiles using advanced high strength steels having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or higher in order to further reduce fuel consumption.
  • High-strength steels for automobiles typically include transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steels and dual phase (DP) steels.
  • TRIP transformation-induced plasticity
  • DP dual phase
  • Processes for manufacturing advanced high-strength steels having excellent workability are largely divided into a slab manufacturing process, a hot rolling process, a process for cooling and coiling a hot-rolled strip, a cold rolling process and an annealing process.
  • a steel obtained by cold-rolling a hot-rolled strip having ferrite and pearlite structures, annealing the cold-rolled strip at a temperature between the A 1 transformation point and the A 3 transformation point and then transforming austenite, formed in the annealing process, to martensite by controlling a cooling rate of the steel during cooling, is referred to as a dual phase steel.
  • the strength of the dual phase steel is determined by the fractions of martensite and ferrite contained therein.
  • the dual phase steel should have a suitable martensite ratio.
  • austenite is formed in the annealing process, as in the above-described method for manufacturing the dual phase steel, and then some of the austenite is retained at room temperature by controlling the cooling rate of the steel and the end cooling temperature during the cooling process, thereby increasing both the strength and ductility of the steel.
  • the retained austenite thus produced is transformed into martensite during plastic deformation to increase the strength of the steel, while increasing the ductility of the steel by relieving stress concentration by plasticity-induced transformation.
  • This steel is referred to as transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steel and is used as a high-strength steel having high strength and ductility.
  • Known technologies for ensuring such high strength and elongation include technology disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. Hei 6-1458920. According to this technology, a steel having a strength of 490 MPa or higher and an elongation of 35% or higher is provided by adding 0.03-0.3 wt % of Mo to a steel containing 0.6-0.22 wt % of C, 0.05-1.0 wt % of Si, 0.5-2.0 wt % of Mn and 0.25-1.5 wt % of Al.
  • Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2002-0045212 discloses a steel containing 0.15-0.30 wt % C, 1.5-2.5 wt % Si, 0.5-2.0 wt % Mn and 0.02-0.1 wt % Al and having a strength of 780 MPa or higher and an elongation of 30% or higher.
  • Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2005-336526 discloses a steel containing 0.06-0.6 wt % C, 0.5-3.0 wt % Si+Al and 0.5-3.0 wt % Mn and having a strength of about 800 MPa and an elongation of 40%.
  • the amount of Al+Si is 1.5 wt % or less.
  • Si is added in an amount of 0.5 wt %. Therefore, accurately speaking, the content of Si+Al is not 0.5-3.0 wt %, but 1.5 wt % or less.
  • the manufacturing processes disclosed in the Japanese patent publication are divided into two: a process of performing annealing or plating after hot rolling; and a process of performing two-step annealing after hot rolling and cold rolling.
  • a process of performing annealing or plating after hot rolling and a process of performing two-step annealing after hot rolling and cold rolling.
  • martensite is formed in the matrix structure by the first-step annealing after cold rolling, and the second-step annealing is performed during the annealing process which is performed on a conventional transformation-induced plasticity steel. This is disadvantageous in economic terms and has low applicability.
  • An aspect of the present invention provides a high-strength steel sheet and a hot-dipped galvanized steel sheet, which have a tensile strength of 780-980 MPa and an elongation of 28% or higher and, at the same time, are free of edge cracks, as a result of controlling the composition thereof and adjusting a cooling step during hot rolling so as to have a martensite fraction of 30-70%, as well as methods for manufacturing these steel sheets.

  • composition range of the present invention will be described in detail (hereinafter, wt %).
  • the content of carbon (C) is 0.1-0.25%.
  • C is the most important component and has a close connection with all physical and chemical properties, including strength and ductility.
  • the content of carbon is less than 0.1%, the fraction and stability of retained austenite will be decreased, and if it is more than 0.25%, the weldability of the steel sheet will be reduced and the workability thereof will be deteriorated due to an excessive increase in the fraction of the second phase. For these reasons, the content range of C is limited to 0.1-0.25%.
  • Si silicon
  • the content of silicon (Si) is 1.0-1.9%.
  • Si is dissolved in ferrite to form a solid solution to thereby stabilize ferrite.
  • Si is dissolved in ferrite to form a solid solution, so that it serves to enhance the activity of carbon so as to increase the concentration of carbon in the austenite phase and suppress the production of carbides, thereby increasing the stability of retained austenite. Also, it is dissolved to form a solid solution, thereby increasing the strength of the steel sheet.
  • the content of Si is less than 1.0%, the strength of the steel will be decreased and the effect of suppressing the production of carbides such as a carbide phase will be reduced, and if it is more than 1.9%, it will cause hot-rolling scales and deteriorate the platability and weldability of the steel sheet.
  • the content of Si is limited to 1.0-1.9%.
  • the content of manganese (Mn) is 1.5-2.5%. Mn serves to increase the hardenability of the steel so as to facilitate the production of low-temperature transformation phases such as ferrite and bainite and increase the strength of the steel. It also stabilizes austenite.
  • the content of Mn is limited to 1.5-2.5%.
  • the content of aluminum (Al) is limited to 0.5-1.6%.
  • Al has a solid solution-strengthening effect inferior to that of Si, it is a ferrite-stabilizing element that shows a solid solution-strengthening effect, suppresses the production of carbides and increases the carbon concentration of retained austenite to thereby increase the stability of the retained austenite.
  • the content of Al is less than 0.5%, the stability of austenite will be reduced and it will difficult to suppress the production of carbides, and if it is more than 1.6%, the fraction of austenite will be reduced, so that the ductility of the steel sheet will be reduced and the surface characteristics thereof will be deteriorated.
  • the content of Al is limited to 0.5-1.6%.
  • Ti The content of titanium (Ti) is 0.005-0.03%.
  • Ti serves to suppress the formation of AlN nitrides resulting from the bonding of Al with N to form TiN, so as to allow the Al content of the steel to perform its functions. If it is added in an amount of less than 0.005%, it will hardly perform such functions, and if it is added in an amount of more than 0.03%, an increase in effects resulting from the increase in the added amount thereof cannot be expected. For these reasons, the content of Ti is limited to 0.005-0.03%.
  • the content of boron (B) is 5-30 ppm.
  • B is a component that improves the hardenability of the steel even when it is added in a small amount. When it is added in an amount of more than 5 ppm, it is segregated in the austenite grain boundary at high temperatures to suppress the formation of ferrite, thereby contributing to an increase in the hardenability of the steel, but if it is added in an amount of more than 30 ppm, it will increase the recrystallization temperature of the steel sheet, thereby reducing the drawability of the steel sheet and deteriorating the weldability thereof. For these reasons, the content of B is limited to 5-30 ppm.
  • the content of antimony (Sb) is 0.01-0.03%. If Sb is added in a suitable amount of 0.01-0.03%, it will improve the surface characteristics of the steel sheet, but if it is added in an amount of more than 0.03%, it will cause Sb enrichment on the surface of the steel sheet to deteriorate the surface characteristics thereof.
  • Sb is an impurity that may be inevitably contained in steel materials, and an Sb content of less than 0.01% can be found in steels manufactured without a special object. Also, an Sb content of less than 0.01% is too small to cause Sb enrichment on the surface to change the surface characteristics. Thus, the content of Sb is limited to 0.01-0.03%.
  • Si and Al all serve to suppress the formation of carbides in the steel to increase the content of solid solution carbon in retained austenite and improve the stability of retained austenite.
  • the content of the two components is less than 1.75%, the solid solution-strengthening effect required for manufacturing a TRIP steel having a desired tensile strength of 780 MPa or higher will be reduced and it will be difficult to ensure the stability of retained austenite.
  • the content of Si+Al is limited to 1.75-3.25%.
  • the steel sheet of the present invention comprises the above-described composition and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
  • a steel slab satisfying the above-described composition is hot-rolled at a temperature higher than the A 3 transformation point, and then primarily cooled at a cooling rate of 30-200° C./sec. If the cooling rate is less than 30° C./sec, a pearlite structure can be formed to make it difficult to realize the desired material, and if it is more than 200° C./sec, the material can be distorted due to the occurrence of residual stress caused by the occurrence of temperature deviation of the steel sheet. For these reasons, the cooling rate is limited to 30 ⁇ 200° C./sec.
  • the steel sheet After the primary cooling, the steel sheet is maintained in the temperature range of 600 ⁇ 800° C. This means that the steel sheet is cooled by natural convection in the air at room temperature without forced cooling. At a temperature lower than 600° C., it is difficult to ensure a ferrite phase-forming fraction, and at higher than 800° C., excessive ferrite can be formed or a pearlite structure can be formed.
  • the steel sheet After the air cooling, the steel sheet is secondarily cooled at a cooling rate of 50 ⁇ 200° C./sec, and then coiled at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 300° C.
  • a cooling rate of less than 50° C./sec a bainite phase can be formed to make it difficult to realize the desired structure, and at a cooling rate of more than 200° C./sec, excessive martensite can be formed and the shape of the hot-rolled sheet can be distorted.
  • the secondary cooling rate is limited to 50 ⁇ 200° C./sec.
  • the coiling temperature is higher than 300° C.
  • a bainite phase will be formed to make it difficult to realize the desired structure
  • the coiling is performed at a temperature ranging from room temperature to 300° C.
  • the matrix structure will have a lath-shaped fine martensite structure, and thus the steel sheet will have a high dislocation density and a uniform solid solution carbon distribution after hot rolling.
  • the coiling temperature is limited to a temperature ranging from room temperature to 300° C.
  • the steel sheet After the coiling, the steel sheet is cold-rolled at a reduction ratio of 30-500.
  • the coiled steel sheet is cold-rolled at a reduction rate of 60%
  • the steel sheet is cold-rolled at a reduction rate of 30-500.
  • the cold-rolling reduction ratio is less than 30%, dislocation density in the ferrite structure will be insufficient to make it difficult to obtain the desired structure, and if it is more than 50%, fine cracks at the boundary between the martensite phase and the ferrite phase will easily occur so that crack defects will occur, particularly at the edge of the rolled sheet. For these reasons, the cold-rolling reduction ratio is limited to 30-50%.
  • the steel sheet after the cold rolling, the steel sheet is hot-dipped galvanized or galvannealed. After the annealing process, the steel sheet is passed through a plating bath containing molten galvanizing material, whereby a plating layer is attached to the surface layer to a given thickness.
  • the temperature of the plating bath is preferably 450 to 500° C., and the steel sheet is cooled slowly at a rate of 30° C./sec or lower, thereby manufacturing a hot-dipped galvanized steel sheet.
  • the steel sheet immediately after the steel sheet has been passed through the plating bath, it is galvannealed by being heated to a temperature ranging from 500° C. to 600° C., and then cooled slowly at a rate of 30° C./sec, thereby manufacturing a galvannealed steel sheet.
  • the hot-rolled steel sheet after the hot rolling is characterized in that the fraction of martensite is 30-70%.
  • the lath-shaped fine martensite structure resulting from the primary and secondary cooling processes after the hot rolling induces uniform martensite transformation in the annealing process following the cold rolling, thereby increasing the fraction of stabilized retained austenite.
  • a hot-rolled steel sheet is manufactured by a one-step cooling process, and in this case, the hot-rolled steel sheet contains a pearlite structure in which coarse carbides are present.
  • the coarse carbides are re-dissolved to a form a solid solution in the annealing process following cold rolling; however, because the carbides are coarse in size, they will be likely to remain without being re-dissolved even at a high temperature of 700° C. or higher, and austenite during annealing will start to be formed mainly in the vicinity of carbides having a high carbon concentration and will not be easily formed in a region in which the amount of carbides is relatively small.
  • the fraction of austenite will be reduced and a local deviation in the austenite fraction will also occur, so that the fraction of retained austenite that occurs in the cooling process following annealing will be reduced.
  • the martensite phase in a hot-rolled steel sheet can solve this shortcoming.
  • a hot-rolled steel sheet when a martensite phase is formed through the primary and secondary cooling processes, a hot-rolled steel sheet can be formed without substantially forming carbides.
  • fine carbides are formed in the martensite structure having a high dislocation density during annealing, and then immediately re-dissolved to form solid solution.
  • the deviation of carbon concentration in this steel sheet will be significantly reduced as compared to a steel sheet having a pearlite structure. Accordingly, the austenite phase that is formed during annealing is evenly distributed around the grain boundary and around a region that was a lath martensite structure, and thus the fraction and stability of retained austenite can be increased.
  • the fraction of martensite in the hot-rolled steel sheet is less than 30%, the effect of increasing the fraction of retained austenite will be insignificant, and it is more than 70%, fine cracks will occur at the edge during cold rolling.
  • the fraction of the martensite structure in the hot-rolled steel sheet is limited to 30-70%.
  • retained austenite is produced in the ferrite and bainite structures.
  • the fraction of the retained austenite in the present invention is 5-15%. Due to the influence of the martensite structure having a lath shape in the hot-rolled steel sheet, the retained austenite phase shows a lath shape and is more stable than retained austenite of other shapes.
  • the fraction of the bainite is 20-40%, and the remainder consists of ferrite.
  • a high-strength, cold-rolled steel sheet having excellent workability, a tensile strength of 780-980 MPa and an elongation of 28% or higher can be manufactured.
  • Table 1 below shows the composition ranges of steels used in Examples. In the present invention, it is important to suitably adjust the components of the steels in order to obtain tensile strength and elongation which are sought in the present invention.
  • the steel slabs having the compositions of Table 1 were hot-rolled, cooled, coiled, cold-rolled and then annealed, and the cooling conditions and cold-rolling reduction ratios thereof and the results of tensile tests therefor are shown in Table 2 below.
  • the tensile properties among the mechanical properties of materials vary depending on the components of the materials and the manufacturing conditions of fine structures.
  • a fine martensite structure of lath structure produced immediately after hot rolling induces uniform austenite transformation in an annealing process to increase the fraction of stabilized retained austenite, whereby the excellent mechanical properties of the steel sheet are obtained through transformation when it undergoes deformation.
  • the components proposed in the present invention should be satisfied, and the cooling process immediately after hot-rolling, the fraction of martensite and the cold-rolling reduction ratio should be optimally adjusted.
  • Table 2 above shows the cooling process immediately after hot rolling, the martensite fraction, the cold-rolling reduction ratio and the results of measuring the mechanical properties and the degree of cracking at the edge.
  • the edge crack length in Table 2 was measured by observing the martensite fraction with a 200 ⁇ optical microscope.
  • the measurement results were obtained by etching a fine structure at the t/4 thickness position with a 2% Nital etching solution and observing the etched portion with an image analyzer. Also, to measure the length of fine cracks that occurred at the edge portions, the edge portions of the cold-rolled sheets were randomly selected, and 30 or more cracks having the longest length within a length of 100 mm were selected from the selected edge portions, and then the lengths thereof were averaged.
  • the steel sheets according to the present invention have a tensile strength of 780-980 MPa and an elongation of 28% or higher as a result of controlling the composition and manufacture conditions thereof.
