- the present invention is a family of martensitic steels with tensile strength ranging from 1700 to 2200 MPa.
- the steel may be thin gauge (thickness of less than or equal to 1 mm) sheet steel.
- the present invention also includes the process for producing the very high tensile strength martensitic steels. Examples and embodiments of the present invention are presented below.
- Table 1 shows the chemical compositions of some steels within the present invention, which includes a range of carbon content from 0.22 to 0.28 wt % (steels 2, 4 and 5), manganese content from 1.5 to 2.0 wt % (steels 1 and 3) and niobium content from 0 to 0.02 wt % (alloys 2 and 3).
- the remainder of the steel composition is iron and inevitable impurities.
- the plates After shearing and reheating the pre-rolled 20 mm thick plates to 1230° C. for 2 hours, the plates were hot rolled from a thickness of 20 mm to 3.5 mm.
- the finish rolling temperature was about 900° C.
- the hot bands of each composition were held in a furnace at 580° C. for 1 hour, followed by a 24-hour furnace cooling to simulate the industrial coiling process.
- Both surfaces of the hot rolled bands were ground to remove any decarburized layer. They were then subjected to 75% lab cold rolling to obtain full hard steels with final thickness of 0.6 mm for further annealing simulations.
- FIGS. 1( a ) and 1 ( b ) A schematic illustration of the heat treatment is shown in FIGS. 1( a ) and 1 ( b ).
- FIG. 1( a ) illustrates the annealing processes with different soaking temperatures from 830° C. to 870° C.
- FIG. 1( b ) illustrates the annealing processes with different quenching temperatures from 780° C. to 840° C.
- the annealing process included reheating the cold rolled strips (0.6 mm thick) to 870° C., 850° C. and 830° C. respectively followed by isothermal holding for 60 seconds.
- the samples were immediately transferred to the second salt pot maintained at a temperature of 810° C. and isothermally held for 25 s. This was followed by a water quench.
- the samples were then reheated to 200° C. for 60 s in an oil bath, followed by air cooling to room temperature to simulate overage treatment.
- the holding times at soaking, quenching and overaging temperatures were chosen to closely approximate industrial conditions for this gauge.
- the analysis includes reheating of cold rolled strips to 870° C. for 60 seconds, followed by immediate cooling to 840° C., 810° C. and 780° C. After a 25 second isothermal hold at the quenching temperature, the specimens were quenched in water. The steels were then reheated to 200° C. for 60 seconds followed by air cooling to simulate the overage treatment. Three ASTM-T standard specimens were prepared from each annealed blank for tensile testing at room temperature.
- the samples processed at 870° C. soaking temperature and quenched from 810° C. were selected for bend testing.
- a 90° free V-bend with the bending axis in the rolling direction was employed for bendability characterization.
- a dedicated Instron mechanical testing system with 90° die block and punches was utilized for this test.
- a series of interchangeable punches with different die radius facilitated the determination of minimum die radius at which the samples could be bent without microcracks.
- the test was run at a constant stroke of 15 mm/sec until the sample was bent by 90°.
- a 80 KN force and 5 second dwell time was deployed at the maximum bend angle after which the load was released and the specimen was allowed to spring back.
- the range of die radius varied from 1.75 to 2.75 mm with 0.25 mm incremental increase.
- the sample surface after bend testing was observed under 10 ⁇ magnification.
- a crack length on the sample bending surface that is smaller than 0.5 mm is considered to be a “micro crack”, and any that is larger than 0.5 mm is recognized as a crack and the test marked as a failure. Samples with no visible crack are identified as “passed test”.

- the increase in carbon content resulted in an increase in the volume fraction and the colony size of pearlite.

- An increase in the Mn content resulted in an increase in the volume fraction and in size of pearlite colony.
- the large grain size in the higher Mn steel can be attributed to grain coarsening during finish rolling and subsequent cooling.
- the hot rolling finish temperature was about 900° C., which is in the austenite region for both of the experimental steels but it is much higher than the Ar a temperature for the higher Mn steel.
- the austenite in the higher Mn steel had a greater opportunity to coarsen, resulting in a coarser ferrite-pearlite microstructure after phase transformation.

- the increase in Mn content from 1.5 to 2.0 wt % has barely any effect on strength and ductility (see FIGS. 8 c , 8 d , 9 c and 9 d ).

- the panels were then reheated to 200° C. in an oil bath and held for 60 seconds, followed by air cooling to simulate overage treatment.
- the data shows that carbon has the strongest effect on strength and a slight effect on bendability.
- the addition of Nb increases yield strength and improves bendability. The improvement in bendability is achieved in spite of marginally inferior elongation.
- An increase in the Mn content from 1.5 to 2.0% in the Nb bearing steel has no significant effect on tensile properties but results in a big improvement in bendability.

After immediate cooling to 810° C. and isothermal holding for 40 s, water quench was applied.

- the ferrite-pearlite microstructure is elongated along the rolling direction in the Nb added steel ( FIG. 12 d ), which may be attributed to the Nb addition retarding austenite recrystallization during hot rolling.
- the finish rolling occurred in the austenite non-recrystallization region, and the elongated ferrite-pearlite microstructure was transformed directly from the deformed austenite.

- Example 1 The steel with 0.28% C-2.0% Mn-0.2% Si was presented in Example 1 above. We can compare its behavior with the steel of Example 2 containing 0.28% C-1.0% Mn-0.2% Si to investigate the effect of Mn (1.0 and 2.0%) on tensile properties. The detailed chemical compositions of both steels are shown in Table 6.
- Table 7 displays the tensile properties of the steels with 1.0% and 2.0% Mn respectively after hot rolling and simulated coiling at 580° C.
- the steel with the lower Mn content showed a lower strength than the steel with the higher Mn content (51 MPa lower in YS and 61 MPa lower in UTS). This may facilitate a higher extent of cold rolling for the low Mn steel.
- Table 8 shows the tensile properties of the steels with 1.0% and 2.0% Mn respectively after cold rolling (50% cold rolling reduction for the steel with 1.0% Mn and 75% cold rolling reduction for the steel with 2.0% Mn) and various annealing cycles. It can be seen that at the same annealing treatment of 870° C. (soaking), 840° C. (quench) and 200° C. (overaging), Mn content had no significant effect on strength. At the same quenching temperature of 810° C., the decrease in soaking temperature from 870 to 830° C. did not affect the strength of the steel with 1.0% Mn, but significantly increased the strength of the steel with 2.0% Mn by about 90 MPa.

- the carbon equivalent for the present steels is defined as:
- the weld integrity is determined to be unacceptable.
- the present examples are designed to reduce the Ceq and still meet the strength and ductility needs.
- High carbon content is beneficial for increasing strength but deteriorates weldability.
- Mn is another element which deteriorates weldability.
- the motivation is to maintain a certain amount of carbon content (at least 0.28%) to achieve sufficient ultra-high strength and to study the effect of Mn content on UTS.
- the inventors look to reduce Mn content to improve the weldability but at maintain an ultra-high strength level.

- the addition of B in Ti added steels with 0.5% to 1.0% Mn resulted in an increase in strength.
- the addition of Ti was beneficial for increasing both strength and yield ratio, which may be attributed to the effect of Ti precipitation hardening.

- the increase in Mn content from 0.5% to 1.0% had no significant effect on strength for the steel with Ti, but resulted in an increase in strength for the steel with both Ti and B additions and an increase in ductility.

This effect was not applicable for high soaking temperature of 870° C., at which the steels with 2.0% Mn did not show an increase in strength. This indicates that the steel with 2.0% Mn is more sensitive to the soaking temperature, which may be due to grain coarsening at higher anneal temperatures.
