- finish rolling is performed in the unrecrystallized region at a high pressure reduction rate, the old austenite grains show a shape extended in the rolling direction, so the major axis direction is the rolling direction and the minor axis direction is the plate thickness direction ( So-called ND direction).
- External stress is the stress applied externally to the steel structure. Brittle cracks often occur and propagate in the direction perpendicular to the highest external stress. Therefore, here, the highest stress applied externally to the steel structure is defined as the external stress. Generally, the external stress is applied almost parallel to the rolling direction of the steel sheet. Therefore, a surface perpendicular to the external stress can be treated as a surface perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel sheet.

- (E) Method for manufacturing a steel sheet The manufacturing conditions for the steel sheet according to the present invention are not particularly limited. For example, for a steel piece having the above-mentioned chemical composition, a heating step, a rough rolling step, and a primary acceleration are performed under the following conditions. It can be manufactured by sequentially performing a cooling step, a finish rolling step, and a secondary accelerated cooling step. Each process will be described.
- the heating step is a step that contributes to the microstructure control of the austenite phase by heating the steel pieces.
- the above steel pieces are heated to a heating temperature of 950 to 1080 ° C.
- the heating step may be performed in a heating furnace.
- heating the steel pieces to 950 to 1080 ° C. means heating the steel pieces so that the average temperature of the total thickness of the steel pieces when extracted from the heating furnace is in the range of 950 to 1080 ° C., and is described in the present specification.
- the average temperature of the total thickness of the steel pieces is referred to as the heating temperature of the steel pieces. Further, the total thickness average temperature can be calculated from the temperature in the heating furnace, the heating time, and the surface temperature of the steel piece.
- the heating temperature is less than 950 ° C., austeniticization becomes insufficient and hardenability is lowered due to the miniaturization of austenite grains, so that it is difficult to obtain a thick steel sheet and high strength steel sheet. Further, the miniaturization of the austenite grains promotes recrystallization during finish rolling, so that the aspect ratio of the old austenite grains is lowered. Further, when the heating temperature exceeds 1080 ° C., the austenite grains become coarse and it becomes difficult to make the bainite structure finer in the final structure.
- the preferred heating temperature range is 1000-1050 ° C.
- the rough rolling step is carried out in the range where the surface temperature of the steel pieces is Trex or more and 1050 ° C. or less. That is, the rough rolling is started when the surface temperature of the steel pieces is Trex or more and 1050 ° C. or less, and the rough rolling is finished when the surface temperature of the steel pieces is Trex or more and 1050 ° C. or less.
- the rough rolling step is carried out in the range of 1050 ° C. or lower.
- the austenite becomes coarse and the surface layer is excessively quenched by the primary acceleration cooling step described later and becomes excessively hard. Further, in the finish rolling process described later, sufficient strain cannot be applied to the surface layer, while the strain is concentrated inside and introduced. As a result, at the 1 / 10t position of the C cross section, the area ratio of the region where the ⁇ 110 ⁇ plane forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section is less than 30%.
- the surface temperature at the end of rough rolling may be higher than the surface temperature at the start of rough rolling. It is considered that this is due to the effect of processing heat generation due to rough rolling and the effect of heat transfer in the plate thickness direction of the steel piece due to the internal temperature being higher than the surface temperature.
- the cumulative rolling reduction in rough rolling shall be in the range of 10 to 75%.
- the cumulative rolling reduction in rough rolling is a value obtained by subtracting the plate thickness after the end of rough rolling from the plate thickness at the start of rough rolling and dividing by the plate thickness at the start of rough rolling. If the cumulative rolling reduction during rough rolling is less than 10%, it is difficult to make the austenite finer by recrystallization, and porosity may remain to cause internal cracking, resulting in deterioration of ductility and toughness. In addition, when the cumulative rolling reduction rate exceeds 75%, the austenite grains become excessively fine, and recrystallization during finish rolling is promoted, so that the aspect ratio of the old austenite grains decreases and the number of passes increases. As a result, productivity decreases.
- the preferred cumulative reduction rate is 30-60%.
- the steel piece after rough rolling is referred to as a steel plate.
- (C) Primary accelerated cooling step In the primary accelerated cooling step, the steel sheet after rough rolling is water-cooled. In the primary accelerated cooling step, cooling is started in the range where the surface temperature of the steel sheet is Ar 3 or higher, cooling is stopped in the range of 500 ° C or higher and Ar 3-30 ° C or lower, and the average cooling rate during that period is 35 to 100 ° C. Cool with water under the condition of / sec.
- the area ratio of the region where the ⁇ 110 ⁇ plane forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section becomes excessive. Therefore, at the 1 / 4t position of the C cross section, the area ratio of the region where the ⁇ 100 ⁇ plane forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section is less than 10%.
- the internal temperature becomes Ar 3 or more, and it is possible to prevent ferrite transformation to the inside of the steel sheet.
- the area ratio of the region where the ⁇ 110 ⁇ plane forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section at the 1 / 10t position of the C cross section is 60% or less. Can be.
- the finish rolling step is carried out in the range where the surface temperature of the steel sheet is less than Trex and the temperature at the center of the thickness of the steel sheet is Ar 3 or more and less than Trex . That is, after the completion of the primary accelerated cooling step, finish rolling is started in a state where the surface temperature of the steel sheet is less than Trex and the temperature at the center of the thickness is Ar 3 or more and less than Trex , and the surface temperature of the steel sheet is high. Is less than Trex , and the temperature at the center of the thickness is Ar 3 or more and less than Trex , and the finish rolling is finished.

- the area ratio of the surface where the processed ferrite is not generated at the 1 / 10t position and the ⁇ 110 ⁇ surface forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the surface perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel sheet can be set to 30% or more. It disappears.
- the finish rolling is performed in the range where the temperature at the center of the thickness is less than Ar 3 , processed ferrite is generated, and not only the structure mainly composed of bainite cannot be obtained in the final structure, but also the ⁇ 110 ⁇ surface.
- the area ratio of the surface forming an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section cannot be set to 40% or more.
- the processed ferrite since the processed ferrite may be generated in the surface layer portion, it is not necessary to set a lower limit for the surface temperature in the finish rolling.
- the number of rolling passes n in finish rolling is 4 to 15, and the average value of the rolling shape ratio mj in each pass obtained by the following formula ( i ) is 0.5 to 1.0.
- m j 2 (R (H j-1 -H j )) 1/2 / (H j-1 + H j ) ... (i)
- j in the above formula is a natural number from 1 to n (where n is the number of rolling passes), m j is the rolling shape ratio of the jth pass, R is the roll radius (mm), and H j-1 is j.
- the plate thickness (mm) after -1 pass and H j represent the plate thickness (mm) after j pass.
- the number of rolling passes n is less than 4, it is difficult to set the average value of the rolling shape ratio m j to 1.0 or less. On the other hand, when the number of rolling passes n exceeds 15, the productivity decreases.
- the preferred number of rolling passes n is 5 to 13 passes.
- the rolled shape ratio is an index showing what kind of strain component is applied to the steel sheet by rolling.
- the rolling shape ratio is small, a large amount of shear strain component is applied, and when it is large, a large amount of compressive strain component is applied. That is, the strain component changes by changing the rolled shape ratio.
- the change in the strain component has a great influence on the formation of the texture at the 1 / 4t position. Therefore, the average value of the rolled shape ratio mj is set to 0.5 to 1.0.
- the average value of the rolling shape ratio mj is less than 0.5, the shear strain of rolling becomes dominant at the 1 / 4t position. As a result, the ⁇ 100 ⁇ texture develops, and it becomes difficult to reduce the area ratio of the surface whose ⁇ 100 ⁇ surface forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section to 40% or less.
- the average value of the rolling shape ratio mj exceeds 1.0, the compressive strain of rolling becomes dominant at the 1 / 4t position.
- the range of the average value of the preferable rolled shape ratio mj is 0.6 to 0.9.
- the cumulative rolling reduction in finish rolling shall be in the range of 65 to 90%.
- the cumulative rolling reduction in finish rolling is a value obtained by subtracting the plate thickness after the end of finish rolling from the plate thickness at the start of finish rolling (after the end of rough rolling) and dividing by the plate thickness at the start of finish rolling.
- the area ratio of the region where the ⁇ 110 ⁇ plane forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section at the 1 / 10t position of the C cross section becomes more than 60%. Further, when the cumulative reduction rate exceeds 90%, recrystallization is promoted, the aspect ratio of the old austenite grains is lowered, the number of passes is increased, and the productivity is lowered. Further, the area ratio of the region where the ⁇ 110 ⁇ plane forms an angle within 15 ° with respect to the C cross section at the 1 / 10t position and the 1 / 2t position of the C cross section decreases.
- the preferred cumulative reduction rate is 70-80%.
- the time between passes in finish rolling shall be 15 seconds or less.
- the inter-pass time exceeds 15 seconds, the strain applied by the processing is recovered, bainite in the final structure cannot be sufficiently refined, recrystallization is promoted, and the aspect ratio of the old austenite grains is lowered.
- the shorter the inter-pass time the more preferable it is. Therefore, it is not necessary to set a lower limit, but it is preferably 3 seconds or more from the viewpoint of operability.
- finish rolling is performed by reverse rolling.
- the time between passes in finish rolling means that the steel sheet is rolled by a rolling roll while moving forward, the rear end of the steel sheet comes out of the rolling roll, the traveling direction of the steel sheet is reversed backward, and the rear end of the steel sheet is again. Means the time it takes for the roll to be bitten into the rolling roll.
- the time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of cooling in the accelerated cooling process described later is set to 50 seconds or less.
- the time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of cooling exceeds 50 seconds, the strain applied by the processing is recovered, bainite in the final structure cannot be sufficiently refined, recrystallization is promoted, and the old austenite grains are promoted.
- the aspect ratio of is reduced.
- the time from the completion of finish rolling to the start of cooling means the time from when the tip of the steel sheet traveling forward passes through the rolling roll in the final pass to the start of water cooling.
- Ar 3 means the transformation start temperature at which the transformation from the austenite grains to the ferrite grains starts in the temperature lowering process, and is obtained by the following equation (ii).
- Trex means the recrystallization temperature which is the lowest temperature at which equiaxial recrystallized grains can be generated and grown, and is obtained by the following equation (iii).

At this time, water cooling is performed to a cooling stop temperature of 0 to 550 ° C. under the condition that the cooling start temperature is Trex -10 ° C. or lower and the average cooling rate from the cooling start to the cooling end is 5 to 50 ° C./sec. ..
- the final structure can be made mainly bainite by water cooling to a cooling stop temperature of 0 to 550 ° C at an average cooling rate of 5 to 50 ° C / sec.
- the average cooling rate and the cooling stop temperature are adjusted according to the value of Ceq in the chemical composition of the steel sheet, and are set to conditions under which martensitic transformation does not occur.
- (F) Tempering step After the secondary accelerated cooling step, a tempering step of heating to a temperature range of 350 to 650 ° C. may be further provided. By performing the tempering step, it is possible to reduce the dislocation density that has become excessively high due to cooling. When the cooling shutdown temperature in the secondary accelerated cooling step is high, the self-tempering effect can be obtained, so that the tempering step does not have to be performed. On the other hand, in the secondary accelerated cooling step, for example, when the cooling is performed to about room temperature, it is preferable to perform a tempering step.

本発明の鋼板の金属組織について説明する。なお、以下の説明において「%」は、「面積%」を意味する。また、本発明では、鋼板の厚さをtとした時に、鋼板の圧延方向に垂直な断面(以下、「C断面」ともいう。)における、該鋼板の表面から1/4tの位置を「C断面での1/4t位置」と呼び、鋼板の圧延方向および厚さ方向に平行な断面(以下、「L断面」ともいう。)における、該鋼板の表面から1/4tの位置を「L断面での1/4t位置」と呼ぶこととする。さらに、上記の「圧延方向」は、仕上圧延における圧延方向を意味することとする。
本発明において、金属組織はベイナイトが主体である。具体的には、C断面での1/4t位置におけるベイナイトの面積率を80%以上とすることで、鋼板の強度を確保することが可能となる。ベイナイトの面積率は90%以上であることが好ましい。なお、ベイナイトの面積率に上限を設ける必要はなく、すなわち、ベイナイト単相であってもよい。
C断面での1/4t位置において、ベイナイトを構成するベイニティックフェライトの長軸方向の平均長さを10μm以下とする。ベイナイトを構成するベイニティックフェライトを微細化することで、破壊靱性を確保することが可能となる。ベイニティックフェライトの平均長さは8μm以下であるのが好ましい。
旧オーステナイト粒のアスペクト比の平均:2.5以上
ベイナイト組織の微細化は、熱間圧延前の加熱温度を低く制御し、かつ未再結晶域で高圧下率での仕上圧延を行うことで達成できる。すなわち、ベイナイトの旧オーステナイト粒は圧延方向に伸長した形状となる。そのため、L断面での1/4t位置において、旧オーステナイト粒の厚さ方向における平均長さを20μm以下とし、かつアスペクト比の平均を2.5以上とする。旧オーステナイト粒の厚さ方向における平均長さは15μm以下であるのが好ましい。また、旧オーステナイト粒のアスペクト比の平均は2.5超であるのが好ましく、4.0以上であるのがより好ましい。
1/4t位置において{100}面がC断面に対して15°以内の角度をなす領域の面積率:10~40%
1/2t位置において{110}面がC断面に対して15°以内の角度をなす領域の面積率:40~70%
板厚が厚く高強度の鋼板の場合、集合組織を活用したき裂伝播方向の制御が重要である。鋼板が外部応力を受けた際に、該鋼板に発生する脆性き裂は、{100}面のへき開面に沿って伝播する。したがって、この外部応力と垂直な面に{100}面の集合組織が発達すれば、上記のように結晶粒径を制御したときのアレスト性向上効果が減少してしまうことが判明した。
本発明に係る鋼板の機械的特性について、特に制限はないが、本発明に係る鋼板は、高い強度を有し、かつ低温靱性、破壊靱性およびアレスト性に優れる。具体的には、降伏応力(YS)が460~860MPaで、引張強さ(TS)が570~980MPaであることが好ましい。また、低温靱性の指標となる破面遷移温度(vTrs)が-60℃以下であることが好ましい。さらに、破壊靱性の指標となる-10℃における亀裂先端開口変位(Crack Tip Opening Displacement:CTOD)値が0.50mm以上であることが好ましい。
本発明に係る鋼板の厚さについて、特に制限はないが、溶接構造物として用いる場合には、板厚は10~70mmであるのが好ましく、20~60mmであるのがより好ましい。また、本発明における低温靱性および破壊靱性の向上効果は、厚さが50mm未満の場合に顕著に発揮される。
本発明に係る鋼板の製造条件について特に制限はないが、例えば、上述した化学組成を有する鋼片に対して、以下に示す条件で加熱工程、粗圧延工程、一次加速冷却工程、仕上圧延工程および二次加速冷却工程を順に施すことで、製造することができる。各工程について説明する。
加熱工程は、鋼片の加熱により、オーステナイト相の組織制御に寄与する工程である。加熱工程では、上記の鋼片を950~1080℃の加熱温度まで加熱する。加熱工程は加熱炉で行うとよい。なお、鋼片を950~1080℃に加熱するとは、加熱炉から抽出する際の鋼片の全厚平均温度が、950~1080℃の範囲になるように加熱することであり、本明細書では、この鋼片の全厚平均温度を鋼片の加熱温度と称する。また、全厚平均温度は、加熱炉内の温度、加熱時間、鋼片の表面温度から計算で求めることが可能である。
粗圧延工程は、鋼片の表面温度がTrex以上1050℃以下の範囲で実施する。すなわち、鋼片の表面温度がTrex以上1050℃以下である状態で粗圧延を開始し、鋼片の表面温度がTrex以上1050℃以下である状態で粗圧延を終了する。粗圧延をTrex以上の範囲で実施することで、オーステナイト粒の再結晶により、微細化が可能となる。また、粗圧延工程は、1050℃以下の範囲で実施する。1050℃超の範囲で粗圧延を行うと、オーステナイトが粗大化し、後述する一次加速冷却工程により表層が過剰に焼入れされて過剰に硬くなる。さらに、後述する仕上圧延工程において表層に十分な歪みを付与することができず、一方で、内部に集中して歪みが導入される。その結果、C断面の1/10t位置において、{110}面がC断面に対して15°以内の角度をなす領域の面積率は30%未満となる。なお、粗圧延の終了時の表面温度が、粗圧延の開始時の表面温度よりも高い場合がある。これは、粗圧延によって加工発熱が発生した影響、および表面温度よりも内部温度の方が高温であることによる、鋼片の板厚方向の伝熱影響が考えられる。
一次加速冷却工程では、粗圧延が終了した鋼板を水冷する。一次加速冷却工程では、鋼板の表面温度がAr3以上の範囲で冷却を開始し、500℃以上Ar3-30℃以下の範囲で冷却を停止し、かつその間の平均冷却速度が35~100℃/秒となる条件で水冷する。
仕上圧延工程は、鋼板の表面温度がTrex未満の範囲であり、かつ鋼板の厚さ中央部での温度がAr3以上Trex未満の範囲で実施する。すなわち、一次加速冷却工程の終了後、鋼板の表面温度がTrex未満であり、かつ厚さ中央部での温度がAr3以上Trex未満である状態で仕上圧延を開始し、鋼板の表面温度がTrex未満であり、かつ厚さ中央部での温度がAr3以上Trex未満である状態で仕上圧延を終了する。なお、厚さ中央部での温度は、雰囲気温度、時間、鋼板の比熱、密度、熱伝導率、加工発熱量、変態発熱量、ロールへの接触抜熱を考慮し、計算で求めることが可能である。
mj=2(R(Hj-1-Hj))1/2/(Hj-1+Hj) ・・・(i)
ここで、上記式中のjは1からnまでの自然数(但し、nは圧延パス数)、mjはjパス目の圧延形状比、Rはロール半径(mm)、Hj-1はj-1パス後の板厚(mm)、Hjはjパス後の板厚(mm)を表す。
Trex=-91900[Nb*]2+9400[Nb*]+770 ・・・(iii)
但し、下記(iv)式で求められる固溶Nb量(質量%)を、sol.Nbとした時に、
Nb≧sol.Nbの場合は、[Nb*]=sol.Nb
Nb<sol.Nbの場合は、[Nb*]=Nb
とする。
sol.Nb=(10(-6770/(T+273)+2.26))/(C+12/14×N) ・・・(iv)
なお、上記式中のTは加熱工程における鋼片の加熱温度(℃)を表す。
二次加速冷却工程では、仕上圧延が終了した鋼板を水冷する。この際、冷却開始温度をTrex-10℃以下とし、かつ、冷却開始から冷却終了までの平均冷却速度が5~50℃/秒となる条件で、0~550℃の冷却停止温度まで水冷する。
二次加速冷却工程の後に、350~650℃の温度範囲まで加熱する焼戻し工程をさらに備えてもよい。焼き戻し工程を行うことで、冷却によって過剰に高くなった転位密度を低減させることができる。なお、二次加速冷却工程における冷却停止温度が高い場合には、自己焼戻し効果が得られるため、焼戻し工程を行わなくてもよい。一方、二次加速冷却工程において、例えば室温程度まで冷却した場合には、焼戻し工程を行うことが好ましい。
