Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of metal materials, and particularly relates to a high-elongation, high-formability steel for passenger vehicles and a production method thereof. The steel plate of the present invention is mainly suitable for manufacturing passenger vehicle structural parts. Background Art

[0002] The automotive industry is a major user of steel products, and the research, development, and application of steel products are closely related to the development trends of the automotive industry. In today's society, with the rapid development of my country's automotive industry, automotive steel has begun to develop in the direction of low cost, high strength, green environmental protection, and high safety. In order to reduce the weight of automotive structural components and reduce their weight, thereby saving energy and reducing environmental pollution, the application of high-performance and high-surface quality automotive steel plates has been promoted. Conventional technology for the production of automotive thin plates is obtained by hot rolling + pickling + cold rolling + continuous annealing + skin-passing process, for example: Chinese patent application publication number CN115584428A discloses a new short-process, low-cost cold-rolled DH590 steel and its production method. It uses a common C-Mn composition system to design and add a certain amount of Mg and Ca to produce hot-rolled + pickling + cold-rolled + continuous annealing + skin-passing steel plates with a yield strength of ≥330MPa, a tensile strength of ≥590MPa, and a hole expansion rate of ≥60%. The hole expansion rate fluctuates greatly, which does not meet the requirements of high-formability and ultra-high-strength passenger car parts, and does not have certain corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. In addition, the process system is prepared through hot rolling + pickling + cold rolling + continuous annealing + skin-passing, which has a large process flow and high production costs. In particular, pickling is required. The pickling process has problems such as large acid mist pollution, environmental pollution, and high waste acid treatment costs.

[0003] Chinese patent application publication number CN115652207A discloses a 780MPa-grade short-process economical cold-rolled DH steel plate and its production method. It uses a common C-Mn composition system to design and add a certain amount of Ti, Mg and Ca to produce hot-rolled + pickling + cold-rolled + continuous annealing + skin-passing steel plates. The yield strength is ≥440MPa, the tensile strength is ≥780MPa, the hole expansion rate is ≥30%, and the hole expansion rate is small. It does not meet the requirements of high-formability and ultra-high-strength passenger car parts, and does not have certain corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. In addition, the process system is prepared through hot rolling + pickling + cold rolling + continuous annealing + skin-passing. The process flow is large and the production cost is high. In particular, pickling is required. The pickling process has problems such as large acid mist pollution, environmental pollution, and high waste acid treatment costs.

[0004] A Chinese patent application with publication number CN111979490A discloses a high-ductility, high-formability cold-rolled DH590 steel and a production method thereof. The steel plate is produced by adding a certain amount of Nb, Cr and Mo to a conventional C-Mn composition system and undergoing hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling, continuous annealing and skin-passing. The steel plate has a yield strength of 350-430 MPa, a tensile strength of 590-700 MPa, a hole expansion rate of 50% or more, large fluctuations in yield strength and tensile strength, and a small hole expansion rate. The steel plate does not meet the requirements of high-formability and ultra-high-strength passenger car parts and does not have certain corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance. The steel plate is prepared by hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling, continuous annealing and skin-passing, which has a large process flow and high production costs. In particular, pickling is required. The pickling process has problems such as large acid mist pollution, environmental pollution, and high waste acid treatment costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to provide a high-elongation, high-formability steel for passenger vehicles and its production method. The steel plate exhibits a yield strength of 265 MPa or higher, a tensile strength of 355 MPa or higher, a transverse elongation (A) of 40% or higher, a hole expansion ratio of 115% or higher, and a qualified transverse cold bend (D=a) at 180°. The steel also exhibits excellent surface quality, free of scale and color defects, and a surface roughness Ra of 1.1 to 1.6 μm. This steel is produced using a hot rolling, EPS (wet sandblasting descaling) process, continuous annealing, and skin-passing, eliminating the conventional hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling, continuous annealing, and skin-passing process. This eliminates the pickling and cold rolling steps, resulting in lower production costs and a pollution-free environment.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: A high-elongation and high-formability steel for passenger vehicles, wherein the chemical composition of the steel is as follows by weight: C: 0.006%-0.011%, Si: 0.25%-0.65%, Mn: 0.60%-1.10%, Al: 0.020%-0.050%, V: 0.015%-0.055%, Ta: 0.010%-0.020%, Bi: 0.005%-0.014%, Sb: 0.010%-0.050%, Ni: 0.010%-0.030%, Pt: 0.001%-0.006%, Y: 0.004%-0.009%, with P being limited to 0.015%, S being 0.005%, and N being 0.006%, and the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0007] The main functions of the composition of a high elongation passenger car steel in the present invention are: C: Carbon is a common strengthening element in steel. The interstitial solid solution atomic carbon causes a certain lattice distortion in the matrix, which plays a role in solid solution strengthening. The role of carbon in the present invention can ensure the bainite content, thereby improving the forming performance and hole expansion performance of the steel plate. If the carbon content is too low, the mechanical properties of the steel plate in the present invention cannot be obtained. If the content is too high, the steel plate will become brittle, and there will be a risk of delayed fracture and hot-rolled edge cracking, which is also detrimental to the welding performance, plasticity and toughness of the steel plate. The carbon requirement in the present invention is in the low carbon range as a whole, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of delayed fracture and hot-rolled edge cracking, and is also beneficial to the welding performance of the steel plate. Therefore, the optimal range of carbon in the present invention is 0.006% to 0.011%.

[0008] Si: Silicon is one of the important elements of the present invention. Sufficient silicon addition to ferrite can ensure the strength of the ferrite matrix, and silicon addition will increase the A C3 The silicon content in the steel sheet is 0.25% to 0.65%, which is a significant improvement over the conventional annealing process. The addition of silicon to the steel sheet effectively regulates the annealing process window during the continuous annealing phase, ensuring an appropriate ferrite-austenite ratio in the critical zone at industrial continuous annealing temperatures. Furthermore, sufficient silicon addition can reduce inclusions in the steel sheet, inhibiting their formation and preventing the mechanical and hole expansion properties of the steel sheet from being compromised by inclusion formation. However, if the silicon content is too low, it will not ensure the strength of the ferrite matrix and inhibit inclusion formation. If the silicon content is too high, it will affect the hot-rolled surface quality, resulting in the formation of large amounts of iron oxide scale and poor weldability. Therefore, the silicon content in the present invention is 0.25% to 0.65%.

[0009] Mn: Manganese strengthens the solid solution in steel by inducing lattice distortion through substitutional solid solution. It is also an austenite stabilizing element in steel, expanding the austenite region, reducing the critical quenching rate of steel, and delaying the transformation of austenite to pearlite. However, if the manganese content is too low, the supercooled austenite will be unstable, reducing the plasticity, toughness and hole expansion performance of the steel plate. In addition, the added content of manganese should not exceed the scope of the present invention. The main consideration is the problem of C or Mn segregation caused by excessive manganese content, which deteriorates the uniformity of the steel plate structure during hot rolling and easily causes serious banded structure defects in the structure. In addition, the excessive manganese involved in the steel of the present invention leads to increased hardenability, suppressed bainite formation, and is not conducive to hole expansion performance. In addition, excessive manganese content will lead to poor welding performance of the steel plate. Therefore, based on comprehensive considerations, the present invention selects a manganese content of 0.60% to 1.10%.

[0010] P: Phosphorus is an impurity element in steel and is easily segregated at grain boundaries. When the phosphorus content in steel is high, Fe2P particles are easily formed, which reduces the plasticity, toughness and hole expansion performance of the steel. Therefore, the lower the content, the better. In order to obtain a higher elongation, the upper limit is set at 0.015%.

[0011] S: Sulfur is an impurity element in steel. It easily combines with Mn to form MnS inclusions, which become the starting point of cracks and deteriorate the processing performance, seriously affecting the plasticity, formability and hole expansion performance of the steel plate. Therefore, the lower the content, the better. The upper limit is set at 0.005%.

[0012] Al: Al is a deoxidizer in traditional steelmaking processes. It also combines with nitrogen in steel to form AlN, which refines grains. It also works with silicon to inhibit cementite formation, increase the austenitization temperature, facilitate optimal process window selection, and accelerate bainite transformation. Excessive Al content can cause nozzle blockage during continuous casting, affecting production efficiency and increasing costs. Therefore, in this invention, the Al content is limited to 0.020% to 0.050%.

[0013] V: Vanadium has significant precipitation strengthening and grain refinement effects. Its effects are primarily achieved by forming precipitates with carbon and nitrogen. In particular, the VN precipitation formed with nitrogen significantly enhances the strength of the steel plate. Furthermore, a large number of V precipitates remain within the steel plate structure, acting as hydrogen traps and reducing the risk of delayed cracking in the Sb-containing steel plate during service. The addition of V allows for the retention of a large number of V carbides within the Sb-containing steel plate, which act as hydrogen traps, significantly improving the plate's resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking during service, resulting in excellent mechanical properties, hole expansion performance, and resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking. Higher V contents degrade the toughness of the weld heat-affected zone (HAZ), so the V addition in this invention is 0.015% to 0.055%.

[0014] Ta: Tantalum has a strong affinity with elements such as carbon and nitrogen in steel, and can form fine and dispersed carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides. These compounds hinder grain growth and refine the grains of the steel, thereby improving the comprehensive mechanical properties of the steel, such as strength, toughness, and plasticity, and the pore expansion rate. In addition, tantalum forms a dense and stable oxide film (Ta2O5) on the surface of the steel. This oxide film can prevent external corrosive media from contacting the steel matrix, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of the steel. Therefore, the optimal range of the Ta content in the present invention is between 0.010% and 0.020%.

[0015] Bi: Bismuth (Bi) is primarily distributed within grain boundaries and grain interiors in steel, increasing steel sheet strength, reducing the diffusion rate of elements like carbon and oxygen at grain boundaries, minimizing decarburization and oxidation, and improving the surface and mechanical properties of the steel sheet. Therefore, the present invention limits the Bi content to 0.005% to 0.014%.

[0016] Sb: Antimony can make the corrosion products dense and inhibit H2O, O2, Cl - and SO4 2-Sb diffuses into the steel matrix and accumulates near the steel matrix in an acidic environment, forming a uniform, dense oxide film (rich in elements such as Sb) on the steel plate surface, resisting further corrosion. However, Sb is a low-melting-point element and tends to accumulate at grain boundaries, causing grain boundary cracks. The risk of steel plate cracking increases rapidly with increasing Sb content. Therefore, the present invention limits the Sb content to 0.010% to 0.050%.

[0017] Ni: Nickel is a solid solution strengthening element that can improve the material's hardenability, prevent temper brittleness, and improve the material's fatigue properties. It can also improve the steel's corrosion resistance and has no adverse effects on the hardenability and toughness of the steel's weld heat-affected zone. Furthermore, nickel is an austenite stabilizing element that can promote the retention of retained austenite. However, Ni is a precious element and its content should not be too high. Therefore, the Ni content is limited to 0.010% to 0.030%.

[0018] Pt: Platinum has excellent chemical stability and corrosion resistance. Platinum can react with oxygen in steel to form a dense oxide protective film. This protective film can isolate the steel from direct contact with the corrosive medium, thereby slowing the corrosion process, improving the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the steel, and increasing the service life of the steel in highly corrosive environments and high temperatures. Therefore, the present invention limits the Pt content to 0.001% to 0.006%.

[0019] Y: Yttrium can refine the grains in steel, enhance the strength and plasticity of the grain boundaries, and is beneficial to improving the hole expansion performance. It can also improve the welding performance and oxidation resistance of steel, thereby increasing the service life of steel at high temperatures. Therefore, the present invention limits the Y content to 0.004% to 0.009%.

[0020] N: Regarding the N content in steel, the lower the N content, the better. However, too low a content will lead to production difficulties and increase costs. However, the present invention requires the precipitation of VN formed with V to perform precipitation strengthening and fine grain strengthening to improve the strength and hole expansion performance of the steel plate. Therefore, the N content in the present invention is ≤0.006%.

[0021] The microstructure of the finished steel plate is 88% to 95% by volume of ferrite, 2% to 8% by volume of bainite, and 2% to 8% by volume of pearlite.

[0022] The steel plate has a yield strength of ≥265MPa, a tensile strength of ≥355MPa, a transverse elongation A of ≥40%, a hole expansion rate of ≥115%, a qualified transverse cold bending 180°D=a, and a surface roughness Ra of 1.1~1.6μm.

[0023] The thickness of the steel plate is 1.66~2.33mm; according to GB / T10125-2021 "Artificial atmosphere corrosion test - salt spray test", a neutral salt spray test is performed to simulate the marine atmosphere environment, using a NaCl solution with a concentration of 50±5g / L. Within a 168h test period, the steel plate corrosion rate is ≤0.45g / (m 2 •h).

[0024] A method for producing high-elongation, high-formability steel for passenger vehicles, comprising smelting, hot rolling, wet sandblasting descaling, continuous annealing, and skin-passing steps, specifically as follows: (1) Smelting process: RH+LF process is adopted, H and O contents are strictly controlled, H≤0.0002%, O≤0.0015%, calcium treatment is carried out in the refining process, electromagnetic stirring and light reduction technology are used in the continuous casting process, the casting speed is ≤2.5m / min, and the light reduction is 3.0~6.0mm, which reduces the center segregation of the continuous casting billet, which is beneficial to reduce the banded structure in the subsequent rolling of hot rolled steel plates.

[0025] (2) Hot rolling process: The continuous casting slab with a thickness of 105-205 mm and a width of 1080-2020 mm is directly hot-transferred and hot-charged into a step-beam heating furnace for heating at a temperature of 1210-1240°C and a holding time of 152-183 min. The chemical composition of the present invention contains Sb, which has a low melting point and is easily enriched at the grain boundary to produce cracks, so the heating temperature should not be too high. The rough rolling adopts a 3+3 mode rolling process (R1 adopts 3 passes and R2 adopts 3 passes) for a total of 6 passes. The rough rolling outlet temperature is 1060-1090°C, the intermediate billet thickness is 33.0-42.0 mm, and the width is 1080-2020 mm. The intermediate billet is kept warm by a heat preservation cover before entering the hot rolling finishing mill to reduce the temperature drop of the intermediate billet on the delayed roller and the temperature difference between the head and tail and the plate width direction. The finishing rolling is a 7-stand continuous rolling process. High-pressure water descaling is used before rolling, the finishing rolling inlet temperature is not higher than 1060℃, the final rolling temperature is 892~932℃, and laminar cooling mode is adopted after final rolling. The laminar cooling rate is 15~20℃ / s, and the steel is coiled after cooling to 640~710℃ and air-cooled to room temperature. The purpose of laminar cooling to 640~710℃ is to make ferrite generate rapidly and in large quantities, while suppressing grain growth, the ferrite content is also guaranteed, thereby refining the ferrite grains. In addition, the reduction of the finishing rolling unit F1 is 14-20mm, the reduction of F2 is 7-10mm, the reduction of F3 is 3-6mm, the reduction of F4 is 2.0-3.5mm, the reduction of F5 is 1.0-2.2mm, the reduction of F6 is 0.6-1.4mm, and the reduction of F7 is 0.2-0.5mm. The rolling thickness is 1.66-2.33mm. After rolling, the volume percentage of ferrite in the hot-rolled steel plate is 80%-90%, and the volume percentage of pearlite is 10%-20%.

[0026] (3) EPS (wet sandblasting descaling process): After cooling the steel coil with a thickness of 1.66-2.33 mm to room temperature, wet sandblasting is performed to remove the iron oxide scale on the steel plate surface. The main processes are uncoiling, straightening, sandblasting descaling, and coiling. The uncoiling tension of the steel plate is 20-36 kN, the straightening elongation is 0.9-1.1%, the travel speed is 30-65 m / min, the steel grit hardness is HRC: 55-60, the sandblasting motor speed is 2600-3000 rpm, and the coiling tension is 45-65 kN.

[0027] (4) Continuous annealing: The steel coils after wet sandblasting descaling are continuously annealed, with the belt speed controlled at 65-120 m / min, the soaking section temperature at 805-815 °C, the soaking time at 8-15 min, the slow cooling outlet temperature at 640-710 °C, the rapid cooling rate at 20-25 °C / s, and the rapid cooling outlet temperature at 515-555 °C. The soaking section temperature is 805-815°C, the purpose of which is to ensure a suitable phase ratio of ferrite and austenite in the critical zone. If the soaking section temperature is greater than 815°C, the ferrite ratio in the organization will be greatly reduced, reducing the plasticity of the steel. If the soaking section temperature is less than 805°C, the austenite content in the critical zone temperature stage is obviously insufficient, affecting the subsequent bainite content, which in turn leads to insufficient strength. The soaking time is 8-15 minutes, the purpose of which is to ensure sufficient recrystallization of the steel plate grains during the heating and holding stages and to avoid excessive time leading to grain growth of the steel plate. If the soaking time is too short, the steel plate will not have enough time for continuous annealing and recrystallization process, resulting in a decrease in the elongation of the steel plate. The slow cooling outlet temperature is 640-710°C, the purpose of which is to quickly generate ferrite, while suppressing grain growth and ensuring the ferrite content, thereby refining the ferrite grains. The fast cooling outlet temperature is 515-555°C, the purpose of which is to quickly generate bainite, while suppressing grain growth and ensuring the bainite content, thereby refining the bainite grains.

[0028] (5) Skin pass: After rapid cooling, the steel is directly air-cooled and enters the skin pass mill. The skin pass adopts rolling force control, which is controlled at 1200~3000kN and the rolling tension is 400~1500kN.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. Tantalum has a strong affinity with elements such as carbon and nitrogen in steel, and can form fine and dispersed carbides, nitrides or carbonitrides. These compounds hinder grain growth and refine the grains of steel, thereby improving the comprehensive mechanical properties such as strength, toughness, plasticity and pore expansion rate of steel. Tantalum forms a dense and stable oxide film (Ta2O5) on the surface of steel. This oxide film can prevent external corrosive media from contacting the steel matrix, thereby improving the corrosion resistance of steel.

[0030] 2. Bismuth is mainly distributed in the grain boundaries and inside the grains in steel, which improves the strength of the steel plate, reduces the diffusion rate of elements such as carbon and oxygen on the grain boundaries, reduces decarburization and oxidation, and improves the surface and mechanical properties of the steel plate.

[0031] 3. The addition of Sb can make the corrosion products dense and inhibit the formation of H2O, O2, and Cl - and SO4 2- It diffuses isotropically into the steel matrix and can be enriched near the steel matrix in an acidic environment, prompting the formation of a uniform and dense oxide film (rich in elements such as Sb) on the surface of the steel plate matrix to resist further erosion of the steel matrix.

[0032] 4. The addition of Ni can improve the hardenability of the material, prevent temper brittleness, improve the fatigue performance of the material, and at the same time improve the corrosion resistance of the steel and promote the retention of retained austenite.

[0033] 5. The addition of Pt in steel can react with oxygen to form a dense oxide protective film. This protective film can isolate the steel from direct contact with the corrosive medium, thereby slowing down the corrosion process, improving the corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the steel, and increasing the service life of the steel in strong corrosive environments and high temperatures.

[0034] 6. The addition of Y can refine the grains in the steel, enhance the strength and plasticity of the grain boundaries, which is beneficial to the improvement of the hole expansion performance. It can also improve the welding performance and oxidation resistance of the steel, thereby increasing the service life of the steel at high temperatures.

[0035] 7. The present invention does not require the conventional hot rolling + pickling + cold rolling + continuous annealing + skin-passing process, but adopts hot rolling + EPS (wet sandblasting descaling process) + continuous annealing + skin-passing process, which reduces the pickling + cold rolling process, has fewer process flows, low production costs, and does not pollute the environment.

[0036] 8. The microstructure of the steel of the present invention is ferrite, bainite and pearlite, which can significantly improve the hole expansion performance of the steel plate during the forming process.

[0037] 9. The present invention has excellent mechanical properties, yield strength ≥ 265MPa, tensile strength ≥ 355MPa, transverse elongation A ≥ 40%, hole expansion rate ≥ 115%, transverse cold bending 180° D = a qualified, surface roughness Ra is 1.1 ~ 1.6μm, according to GB / T10125-2021 "Artificial atmosphere corrosion test - salt spray test", a neutral salt spray test is used to simulate the marine atmospheric environment, using a NaCl solution with a concentration of 50g / L ± 5g / L, within a 168h test period, the steel plate corrosion rate is ≤ 0.45g / (m 2 •h).

The finishing rolling is a 7-stand continuous rolling. High-pressure water is used for descaling before finishing rolling. The finishing rolling entrance temperature is not higher than 1060℃. The finishing rolling temperature is 892~932℃. After finishing rolling, the laminar cooling mode is adopted with a laminar cooling rate of 15~20℃ / s.
