Definitions
- the present invention relates to steel plate and a method of production of the same.
- Gears, clutches, and other auto parts are produced through stamping, forging, press-forming, and other working processes.
- improvement of the workability of the starting material carbon steel plate has been sought. Further, these parts are quenched and tempered, then used at a high strength, so excellent hardenability is demanded.
- PLT 1 discloses high carbon steel plate excellent in workability, hardenability, and toughness after heat treatment containing, by mass %, C: 0.20 to 0.45%, Mn: 0.40 to 1.50%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.02% or less, P+S: 0.010% or more, Cr: 0.01 to 0.80%, Ti: 0.005 to 0.050%, and B: 0.0003 to 0.0050% and having a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, further, containing Sn: 0.05% or less and Te: 0.05% or less and containing a total of Sn+Te of 0.005% or more, and comprised of a mixed structure of ferrite and pearlite or a mixed structure of ferrite and cementite.
- PLT 2 discloses a method of production of high hardenability high carbon hot rolled steel plate comprising hot rolling steel containing, by mass %, C: 0.2 to 0.7%, Si: 2% or less, Mn: 2% or less, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.03% or less, sol. Al: 0.08% or less, and N: 0.01% or less and having a balance of iron and unavoidable impurities until the finishing temperature (Ar3 transformation point-20° C.) or more, cooling it by a cooling rate of over 120° C./sec down to a cooling end temperature of 620° C. or less, coiling it by a coiling temperature of 600° C. or less to control it to a structure having over volume fraction 20% bainite phases, pickling it, and annealing it by an annealing temperature of 640° C. to the Ac1 transformation point to obtain spheroidized structures.
- PLT 1 Japanese Patent No. 4319940
- the high carbon steel plate described in PLT 1 also uses the high hardness pearlite in the starting material structure and is not necessarily excellent in workability.
- PLT 2 does not describe a specific form of structure excellent in workability.
- the present invention in consideration of the current state of the prior art, has as its object the provision of steel plate improved in formability and wear resistance, in particular suitable for obtaining gears, clutches, and other parts by forming thick gauge plate, and a method of production of the same.
- Ferrite phases are low in hardness and high in ductility. Therefore, in a structure mainly comprised of ferrite, by making the grain size larger, it becomes possible to raise the formability of the material.
- Carbides by being made to suitably disperse in the metal structure, can maintain the formability of the material while imparting excellent wear resistance and rolling fatigue characteristics, so are structures essential for drive system parts. Further, carbides in steel plate are strong grains inhibiting slip. By making carbides present at the ferrite grain boundaries, it is possible to prevent the propagation of slip crossing crystal grain boundaries and suppress the formation of a shear zone, improve the cold forgeability, and simultaneously improve the formability of the steel plate.
- cementite is a hard and brittle structure. If present in the state of a layered structure with ferrite, that is, pearlite, the steel becomes hard and brittle, so it must be made present in a spheroidal shape. If considering the cold forgeability and formation of cracks at the time of forging, the grain size has to be a suitable range.
- the plate should be coiled up at a relatively low temperature (400° C. to 550° C.). By coiling at a relatively low temperature, the cementite dispersed in the ferrite also becomes easy to spheroidize.
- the cementite should be partially spheroidized by annealing at a temperature of right below the Ac1 point.
- part of the ferrite grains should be left while causing part to transform to austenite by annealing at a temperature between the Ac1 point and the Ac3 point (so-called dual phase region of ferrite and austenite).
- the plate should be slowly cooled to cause the remaining ferrite grains to grow while using these as nuclei for transformation of austenite to ferrite to thereby obtain large ferrite phases while causing cementite to precipitate at the grain boundaries and realize the above structure.
- the present invention was made based on the above findings and has as its gist the following:
- a steel plate comprising, by mass %, C: 0.10 to 0.40%, Si: 0.01 to 0.30%, Mn: 1.00 to 2.00%, P: 0.020% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Al: 0.001 to 0.10%, N: 0.010% or less, 0: 0.020% or less, Cr: 0.50% or less, Mo: 0.10% or less, Nb: 0.10% or less, V: 0.10% or less, Cu: 0.10% or less, W: 0.10% or less, Ta: 0.10% or less, Ni: 0.10% or less, Sn: 0.050% or less, Sb: 0.050% or less, As: 0.050% or less, Mg: 0.050% or less, Ca: 0.050% or less, Y: 0.050% or less, Zr: 0.050% or less, La: 0.050% or less, Ce: 0.050% or less and a balance of Fe and unavoidable impurities, wherein a metal structure of the steel plate has a ratio of a

- a shear zone is formed in the macrostructure of the steel plate and slip deformation occurs concentratedly near the shear zone. Slip deformation is accompanied with proliferation of dislocations. Near the shear zone, a region of high dislocation density is formed. Along with the increase of the amount of strain imparted to the steel plate, slip deformation is promoted and the dislocation density increases.
- a shear zone is understood as the phenomenon of slip occurring at a certain single crystal grain crossing crystal grain boundaries and continuously propagating to the adjoining crystal grains. Accordingly, to suppress formation of a shear zone, it is necessary to prevent propagation of slip crossing crystal grain boundaries.
- Carbides in steel plate are strong grains inhibiting slip. By forming carbides at the ferrite grain boundaries, propagation of slip crossing crystal grain boundaries can be prevented and formation of a shear zone can be suppressed so the cold formability can be improved. Simultaneously, the formability of the steel plate is improved.
- the formability of steel plate is greatly dependent on the accumulation of strain inside the crystal grains (accumulation of dislocations). If propagation of strain to the adjoining crystal grains is inhibited at the crystal grain boundaries, the amount of strain inside the crystal grains will increase. As a result, the work hardening rate will increase and the formability will be improved.
- the spheroidization rate of the carbides at the crystal grain boundaries is less than 80%, strain locally concentrates at the rod-shaped or plate-shaped carbides and voids and/or cracks easily are formed, so the spheroidization rate of the carbides at the crystal grain boundaries is preferably 80% or more, more preferably it is 90% or more.
- the average grain size of the carbides is less than 0.1 ⁇ m, the hardness of the steel plate remarkably increases and the workability deteriorates, so the average grain size of the carbides is preferably 0.1 ⁇ m or more. More preferably, it is 0.17 ⁇ m or more.
- the average grain size of carbides is preferably 2.0 ⁇ m or less. More preferably, it is 1.95 ⁇ m or less.

Before observation, the sample for observation of the structure is polished by wet polishing by Emery paper and a diamond abrasive having an average particle size of 1 ⁇ m, the observed surface is polished to a mirror finish, then a 3% nitric acid-alcohol solution is used to etch the structure. For the magnification of the observation, magnification enabling judgment of the structure of ferrite and carbides in 3000 ⁇ is selected. Eight images of fields of 30 ⁇ m ⁇ 40 ⁇ m at a plate thickness 1 ⁇ 4 layer are captured at random by the selected magnification.
- carbides with an area of 0.01 ⁇ m 2 or less are excluded from coverage by the evaluation.
- the number of carbides present at the ferrite grain boundaries is counted and the number of carbides at the ferrite grain boundaries is subtracted from the total number of carbides to calculate the number of carbides inside the ferrite grains. Based on the measured numbers, the number ratio of carbides at the ferrite grain boundaries to carbides inside the ferrite grains was found.
- the ferrite grain size 5.0 ⁇ m or more. If the ferrite grain size is less than 5 ⁇ m, the hardness increases and, at the time of cold working, fractures and cracks easily form, so the ferrite grain size is made 5 ⁇ m or more. Preferably, it is 7 ⁇ m or more.
- the ferrite grain size is 50 ⁇ m or less. Preferably, it is 37 ⁇ m or less.
- the ferrite grain size is measured by polishing the observed surface of the sample to a mirror finish by the above-mentioned polishing method, then etching the surface by a 3% nitric acid-alcohol solution and observing the structure of the observed surface by an optical microscope or scanning electron microscope and applying the line segment method to the captured images.
- the carbide of iron that is, cementite
- the carbide of iron is a hard and brittle structure. If present as a layered structure with ferrite, that is, in the state of pearlite, the steel becomes hard and brittle. Therefore, pearlite has to be reduced as much as possible.
- the steel plate of the present invention it is made an area ratio of 6% or less.
- Pearlite has a distinctive lamellar structure, so can be discerned by observation by an SEM or optical microscope. By calculating the regions of lamellar structures in any cross-section, it is possible to find the area ratio of pearlite.
- the Vickers hardness of the steel plate 100 HV to 170 HV, it is possible to improve the cold workability. If the Vickers hardness is less than 100 HV, buckling easily occurs during cold working, so the Vickers hardness is made 100 HV or more. Preferably, it is 110 HV or more.
- the Vickers hardness is made 170 HV or less.
- it is 168 HV or less.
- the method of production of the present invention has as its basic idea to use a steel slab of the above-mentioned chemical composition, integrally manage the hot rolling conditions and annealing conditions, and control the structure of the steel plate.

- the finish rolling in the hot rolling is completed in the 750° C. to 850° C. temperature region. If the finish rolling temperature is less than 750° C., the deformation resistance of the steel plate increases and the rolling load remarkably rises. Further, the amount of roll wear increases and the productivity deteriorates. Along with this, the recrystallization required for improving the plasticity anisotropy does not sufficiently proceed. Therefore, the finish rolling temperature is made 750° C. or more. In the point of promoting recrystallization, preferably it is 770° C. or more.
- the finish rolling temperature is made 850° C. or less. Preferably, it is 830° C. or less.

More preferably, it is 20° C./sec or more.
- the cooling rate is preferably 100° C./sec or less. More preferably, it is 90° C./sec or less.

It does not show the average cooling rate from the starting point of water spray to the temperature at which the steel plate is coiled up by the coiler.
- the coiling temperature is made 400° C. to 550° C. This is a temperature lower than the general coiling temperature. In particular, it is a condition not usually applied when the content of C is high.

- the coiling temperature is made 400° C. or more. Preferably, it is 430° C. or more.
- the coiling temperature is over 550° C., large lamellar spacing pearlite is formed and high heat stability, bulky needle-shaped carbides are formed. These needle-shaped carbides remain even after two-stage annealing. At the time of cold forging and other forming of steel plate, the needle-shaped carbides form starting points for cracks.
- the coiling temperature is made 550° C. or less. Preferably, it is 520° C. or less.
- the hot rolled steel plate coil is paid out and pickled, then is treated by two-stage step type annealing (two-stage annealing) holding it at two temperature regions.
- two-stage annealing By treating the hot rolled steel plate by two-stage annealing, the stability of the carbides is controlled and the formation of carbides at the ferrite grain boundaries is promoted.
- the first stage annealing is performed at 650 to 720° C., preferably the Ac1 point or less temperature region. Due to this annealing, the carbides are made to coarsen and are made to partially spheroidize and the alloy elements are made to concentrate at the carbides to raise the thermal stability of the carbides.
- the heating rate up to the annealing temperature (below, referred to as the “first stage heating rate”) is 30° C./hour to 150° C./hour. If the first stage heating rate is less than 30° C./hour, time is raised for raising the temperature and the productivity deteriorates, so the first stage heating rate is made 3° C./hour or more. Preferably, it is 10° C./hour or more.
- the first stage heating rate is over 150° C./hour, at the hot rolled steel plate coil, the temperature difference between the peripheral parts and the inside increases whereby scratches and seizing occur due to the difference in heat expansion and relief shapes are formed at the surface of the steel plate.
- the relief shapes form starting points for cracks, the cold forgeability deteriorates, and the formability and the impact resistance after carburizing, quenching, and tempering deteriorates, so the first stage heating rate is made 150° C./hour or less. Preferably, it is 130° C./hour or less.
- the annealing temperature in the first stage annealing (below, called the “first annealing temperature”) is 650° C. to 720° C. If the first annealing temperature is less than 650° C., the carbides are not sufficiently stabilized and at the time of the second stage annealing, it becomes difficult to make carbides remain in the austenite. For this reason, the first annealing temperature is made 650° C. or more. Preferably, it is 670° C. or more.
- the first stage annealing temperature is made 720° C. or less.
- it is 700° C. or less.

If the first annealing time is less than 3 hours, the carbides are not sufficiently stabilized and at the time of the second stage annealing, it becomes difficult to make carbides remain in the austenite. For this reason, the first annealing time is made 3 hours or more. Preferably, it is 5 hours or more.
- the first annealing time is over 60 hours, much greater stabilization of the carbides cannot be expected. Furthermore, the productivity deteriorates, so the first annealing time is made 60 hours or less. Preferably, it is 55 hours or less.

- the carbides in the fine ferrite grains dissolve in the austenite, but the carbides coarsened by the first stage annealing remain in the austenite.
- the heating rate up to the annealing temperature of the second stage annealing (below, referred to as the “second stage heating rate”) is 1° C./hour to 80° C./hour.
- austenite is formed and grows from the ferrite grain boundaries.
- by slowing the heating rate up to the annealing temperature formation of nuclei of austenite is suppressed and, in the structure formed by slow cooling after annealing, the rate of coverage of grain boundaries by carbides can be raised.
- the second stage heating rate is preferably slower, but if less than 1° C./hour, time is required to raise the temperature and the productivity deteriorates, so the second stage heating rate is made 1° C./hour or more. Preferably, it is 10° C./hour or more.
- the second stage heating rate is over 80° C./hour, at the hot rolled steel plate coil, the temperature difference between the peripheral parts and the inside increases, and scratches and seizing occur due to the large difference in heat expansion, and as a result, deformation and relief shapes are formed at the surface of the steel plate.
- the relief shapes form starting points for cracks, the cold forgeability and formability deteriorates, and the impact resistance after carburizing, quenching, and tempering also deteriorates, so the second stage heating rate is made 80° C./hour or less. Preferably, it is 70° C./hour or less.
- the annealing temperature at the second stage annealing (below, called the “second stage annealing temperature”) is made 725° C. to 790° C. If the second stage annealing temperature is less than 725° C., the amount of formation of austenite becomes smaller and, after the cooling after the second stage annealing, the number of carbides at the ferrite grain boundaries decreases and the ferrite grain size becomes smaller. For this reason, the second stage annealing temperature is made 725° C. or more. Preferably, it is 735° C. or more.
- the second stage annealing temperature exceeds 790° C., it becomes difficult to make carbides remain at the austenite and control of changes in structure becomes difficult, so the second stage annealing temperature is made 790° C. or less. Preferably, it is 770° C. or less.
- the annealing time in the second stage annealing is made 3 hours to 50 hours. If the second stage annealing time is less than 3 hours, the amount of production of austenite becomes smaller and the carbides in the ferrite grains do not sufficiently dissolve so it becomes difficult to increase the number of carbides at the ferrite grain boundaries and, further, the ferrite grain size becomes smaller. For this reason, the second stage annealing time is made 3 hours or more. Preferably, it is 5 hours or more.
- the second stage annealing time is over 50 hours, it becomes difficult to make carbides remain in the austenite. Further, the manufacturing costs increase, so the second stage annealing time is made less than 50 hours. Preferably, it is 40 hours or less.
- the steel plate After the two-stage annealing, the steel plate is cooled by a 1° C./hour to 30° C./hour cooling rate down to 650° C.
- the austenite is transformed to ferrite, carbon atoms are adsorbed at the carbides remaining in the austenite, the carbides and austenite cover the ferrite grain boundaries, and, finally, it is possible to obtain a structure in which a large number of carbides are present at the ferrite grain boundaries.
- the cooling rate is preferably slow, but if less than 1° C./hour, the time required for cooling increases and the productivity deteriorates, so the cooling rate is made 1° C./hour or more. Preferably, it is 10° C./hour or more.
