Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ferritic stainless steel sheet for an automobile brake disc rotor, an automobile brake disc rotor and a hot-stamped product for an automobile brake disc rotor, which have excellent heat resistance and formability, and specifically to a ferritic stainless steel sheet suitably used for an automobile brake disc rotor and the like that are required to have high-temperature strength.
  • a disc brake is widely used as one of automobile brake systems.
  • This disc brake reduces a speed of an automobile by pressing a disc-like structure connected to a tire, called a disc rotor, between brake pads to cause friction, thereby converting kinetic energy to thermal energy.
  • a disc rotor As a material for this disc rotor, flake graphite cast iron (hereinafter referred to as cast iron) is used in light of thermal conductivity, a cost and the like.
  • Cast iron to which an element improving corrosion resistance is not added, is inferior in corrosion resistance and thus gathers red rust upon being left.
  • This red rust conventionally is not so noticeable due to a position of the disc that is lower than a line of sight and a shape of a wheel.
  • aluminum is used for a material for the wheel and a spoke is made thinner in order to respond to a request for improvement in fuel efficiency, the rust of the disc cannot be left ignored, thereby generating a need for improving corrosion resistance.
  • a material having excellent corrosion resistance is exemplified by stainless steel.
  • a martensitic material i.e., SUS410
  • SUS410 a martensitic material
  • the disc rotor for the two-wheeled vehicle is exposed to be easily noticeable and thus corrosion resistance is considered as important.
  • stainless steel is inferior in thermal conductivity to cast iron.
  • a brake system being exposed to have excellent cooling performance allows use of even stainless steel with no problem.
  • the disc rotor is less likely to be cooled and has low thermal conductivity, whereby stainless steel has not been applied thereto.
  • the disc rotor for the two-wheeled vehicle is in a form of a ring-shaped disc, and is produced, without requiring large machining, by punching plate-shaped stainless steel.
  • the current disc rotor for the automobile is in a form of a disc whose center is squeezed, called a hat shape, and is produced by casting. Machining stainless steel to be formed into this shape requires deep drawing.
  • stainless steel used for the two-wheeled vehicle is martensitic stainless steel, which has extremely high hardness and entails machining difficulty.
  • hot stamping involving pressing at a high temperature recently has been increasingly used. The hot stamping also allows forming stainless steel into a hat shape with a high precision.
  • the disc rotor in order to meet the request for improvement in fuel efficiency, the disc rotor needs to be made thinner and lighter.
  • cast iron is low in strength and the disc rotor is typically produced by casting, there is a limit to thinning thereof.
  • a temperature to be reached at braking of the automobile is said to be near 700 degrees C. at a maximum, it may be difficult to apply martensitic stainless steel having a heat resistance temperature of near 500 degrees C.
  • a temperature to be reached under driving conditions of frequent braking on a mountain road or the like may be 300 degrees C.
  • Patent Literature 1 relates to a stainless steel disc rotor for the automobile but mainly focuses on formability not on high-temperature strength. Furthermore, Patent Literature 2 improves strength by martensitic phases including highly saturated solid solution C and N but does not describe strength near 700 degrees C. Both Patent Literatures 1 and 2 adopt a martensitic structure but are not found to reliably provide heat resistance near 700 degrees C.
  • the invention relates to a ferritic stainless steel sheet for an automobile brake disc rotor having excellent heat resistance and formability.
  • a target component which is an intended use of the invention whose problem is to be solved, is a braking system component for an automobile, particularly a disc rotor.
  • the disc rotor for the automobile having a hat shape requires formability.
  • a temperature to be reached is usually about 100 degrees C. in driving on a city road and about 300 degrees C. in driving on a mountain road while being near 700 degrees C. at a maximum
  • thinning thereof requires strength in an intermediate to high temperature range.
  • cast iron is molded by casting, thinning of the disc rotor deteriorates metal flow, which may result in a failure of molding.
  • cast iron is low in strength, the thinning of the disc rotor cannot reliably secure sufficient strength as a disc rotor.
  • Ferritic stainless steel can be formed into a hat shape through hot stamping with a high precision. However, stainless steel having low strength cannot be thinned.
  • Martensitic stainless steel is excellent in formability in hot stamping but has a heat resistance temperature of about 500 degrees C., thus failing to achieve both formability and heat resistance.
  • the invention provides a ferritic stainless steel sheet for an automobile brake disc rotor, an automobile brake disc rotor and a hot-stamped product for an automobile brake disc rotor, which have excellent heat resistance and formability.
  • the precipitates may be formed in the steel in a temperature range in which the component according to the invention is formed through hot stamping.
  • the finely dispersed precipitates can improve strength of a material.
  • presence of the precipitates before the forming results in excessively high strength to reduce elongation of the steel, making it likely for cracking to occur during the forming. Accordingly, it has been believed that finely forming the precipitates during the hot stamping can reliably secure formability and strength after the hot stamping.
  • a crystal grain size is increased during heating in the hot stamping to form the precipitates during the hot stamping.
  • Setting the finishing temperature at more than 950 degrees C. effectively increases the crystal grain size to improve strength also in an intermediate temperature range. Since the precipitates are finely formed in crystal grains of the steel, excellent high-temperature strength during use as a disc rotor can be attained. The precipitates formed at grain boundaries are likely to grow and coarsen.
