[0009] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent No. 3887235

[0010] Patent Document 2: Japanese Patent No. 5953693

[0011] Patent Document 3: Japanese Patent No. 6052472 Summary of the invention

[0012] Problems to be solved by the invention

[0013] However, currently, the impact energy absorbing members of automobiles, represented by the front side members and the rear side members, are still using steel plates with a tensile strength (hereinafter also referred to as TS) of 590 MPa class.

[0014] That is, in order to increase the absorbed energy during impact (hereinafter also referred to as impact absorbed energy), it is effective to increase the yield stress (hereinafter also referred to as YS). However, when the TS and YS of the steel plate are increased, the stamping formability, especially the ductility, hole expandability, and bendability, are generally reduced. Therefore, when it is assumed that such a steel plate with increased TS and YS is applied to the impact energy absorbing component of the above-mentioned automobile, not only will the stamping become difficult, but the component will also break in the axial crushing test of the simulated collision test. In other words, the actual impact absorbed energy will not be as high as expected based on the value of YS. Therefore, the current situation is that the above-mentioned impact energy absorbing component remains at the level of steel plates with a TS of 590MPa.

[0015] In fact, the steel plates disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 cannot be said to have a TS of 1180 MPa or more and have high YS, excellent stamping formability (ductility, hole expandability and bendability) and fracture resistance during crushing (bending fracture characteristics and axial crushing characteristics).

[0016] The present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned situation, and its purpose is to provide a steel plate having a tensile strength TS of more than 1180 MPa, a high yield stress YS, excellent stamping formability (ductility, hole expandability and bendability) and fracture resistance during crushing (bending fracture characteristics and axial crushing characteristics), and a favorable manufacturing method thereof.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a member using the above-mentioned steel plate as a raw material and a method for producing the same.

[0018] The steel sheet mentioned here also includes galvanized steel sheet, and the galvanized steel sheet refers to hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (hereinafter also referred to as GI) or alloyed hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (hereinafter also referred to as GA).

[0019] Here, the tensile strength TS can be measured by a tensile test in accordance with JIS Z 2241 (2011).

[0020] In addition, having high yield stress YS, excellent stamping formability (ductility, hole expandability, and bendability), and fracture resistance during crushing (bending fracture characteristics and axial crushing characteristics) means satisfying the following conditions.

[0021] The high yield stress YS means that YS measured in a tensile test in accordance with JIS Z 2241 (2011) satisfies the following formula (A) or (B) based on TS measured in the tensile test.

[0022] (A) When 1180MPa≤TS<1320MPa, 750MPa≤YS

[0023] (B) When 1320MPa≤TS, 850MPa≤YS

[0024] In addition, excellent ductility means that the total elongation (E1) measured in a tensile test in accordance with JIS Z 2241 (2011) satisfies the following formula (A) or (B) based on TS measured by the tensile test.

[0025] (A) When 1180MPa≤TS<1320MPa, 12.0%≤El

[0026] (B) When 1320MPa≤TS, 10.0%≤El

[0027] In addition, excellent hole expandability means that the limiting hole expansion ratio (λ) measured in the hole expansion test in accordance with JIS Z 2256 (2020) is 30% or more.

[0028] Furthermore, excellent bendability means that the bending angle (α) at ​​the maximum load measured in a bending test in accordance with the VDA standard (VDA238-100) defined by the German Association of the Automotive Industry is 80° or more.

[0029] In addition, excellent bending fracture characteristics refer to the stroke (S) at the maximum load measured in the V-VDA bending test. Fmax ) is 26.0 mm or more.

[0030] In addition, excellent axial crushing characteristics refer to the fracture (appearance crack) after the axial crushing test. Figure 5-1 (b) The lower part has two curved ridges (see Figure 5-1 In the middle area Cx), there are no more than 3 locations in the area of ​​R=5.0mm and 200mm.

[0031] The above El, λ and α are characteristics indicating the ease of forming of the steel sheet during press forming. On the other hand, the V-VDA bending test is a test that simulates the deformation and fracture behavior of the bending ridge portion in a collision test. The stroke (S) at the maximum load measured in the V-VDA bending test is Fmax ) is a characteristic that indicates how easy it is for a component to break.

[0032] Methods used to solve problems

[0033] In order to achieve the above object, the present inventors have conducted intensive research.

[0034] As a result, it was found that: when the component composition of the base steel plate of the steel plate is appropriately adjusted, and the steel structure of the base steel plate of the steel plate has an area ratio of ferrite of 57.0% or less, a total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite of 40.0% or more and 90.0% or less, an area ratio of retained austenite of 3.0% or more and 10.0% or less, an area ratio of fresh martensite of 10.0% or less, and a value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite is 0.70 or more, and that the number of voids in contact with the hard phase in all voids at the V-bend ridgeline portion and the VDA bend ridgeline portion in a V-VDA bending test to the maximum load point is The value obtained by dividing the number of voids at the boundary of the soft phase and the number of voids formed due to the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids is less than 0.60, and in the V-bend flat portion and the VDA bend ridge portion, the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase in all voids (the number of voids at the boundary of the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed due to the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids is less than 0.20, and the mean free path of the center of gravity of the carbide is set to be greater than 0.20μm, thereby obtaining a steel plate having a TS of more than 1180MPa and having high YS, excellent stamping formability (ductility, hole expandability and bendability) and fracture resistance during crushing (bending fracture characteristics and axial crushing characteristics).

The steel structure wherein the area ratio of bainitic ferrite is 3.0% or more and 10.0% or less, the area ratio of fresh martensite is 10.0% or less, and the value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite is 0.70 or more, and further, in a V-VDA bending test to the maximum load point, the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase in all voids by the total number of voids in the overlapping region of the V-bend ridgeline portion and the VDA bending ridgeline portion is 0.60 or less, and the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase in all voids by the total number of voids in the overlapping region of the V-bend flat portion and the VDA bending ridgeline portion is 0.20 or less, and the mean free path L of carbides represented by the following formula (1) is: M The thickness is 0.20 μm or more, and the tensile strength is 1180 MPa or more.

[0085] L M =(d M / 2)×(400π / 3f) 1 / 3 …Formula (1)

[0086] Here, L M is the mean free path of carbides (μm), d M is the average equivalent circle diameter of carbides (μm), π is the circumference of a circle, and f is the volume fraction of all carbides (%).

[0087] The steel sheet may have a zinc coating as the outermost layer on one or both sides of the steel sheet. The steel sheet having the zinc coating may be a galvanized steel sheet.

[0088] Ingredients

[0089] First, the component composition of the base steel sheet of the steel sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described. It should be noted that the unit in the component composition is "mass %", and hereinafter, "%" is used only unless otherwise specified.

[0090] C: 0.050% or more and 0.400% or less

[0091] C is an element that generates appropriate amounts of fresh martensite, tempered martensite, bainitic ferrite, and retained austenite, and is effective for ensuring a tensile strength TS of 1180 MPa or more and a high YS. Here, when the C content is less than 0.050%, the area ratio of ferrite increases, and TS may not be increased to 1180 MPa or more. In addition, it may also lead to a decrease in YS.

[0092] On the other hand, when the C content exceeds 0.400%, when the steel sheet is subjected to punching in the hole expansion test or V-bending in the V-VDA test, the hardness of the fresh martensite generated by the work-induced phase transformation increases significantly, which promotes the subsequent formation of voids and crack propagation, and the desired λ and S cannot be achieved. Fmax .

[0093] Therefore, the C content is set to be 0.050% or more and 0.400% or less. The C content is preferably 0.100% or more. In addition, the C content is preferably 0.300% or less.

[0094] Si: more than 0.75% and less than 3.00%

[0095] Si inhibits the formation of carbides during cooling and holding after annealing, and promotes the formation of retained austenite. That is, Si is an element that affects the volume ratio of retained austenite. Here, when the Si content is 0.75% or less, the volume ratio of retained austenite decreases and the ductility decreases.

[0096] On the other hand, when the Si content exceeds 3.00%, the area ratio of ferrite increases excessively, and sometimes TS cannot be made to be 1180 MPa or more. In addition, it sometimes leads to a decrease in YS. Moreover, the C concentration in austenite during annealing increases excessively, and the desired λ and S cannot be achieved. Fmax .

[0097] Therefore, the Si content is set to be greater than 0.75% and 3.00% or less. The Si content is preferably 2.00% or less.

[0098] Mn: 2.00% or more and less than 3.50%

[0099] Mn is an element that adjusts the area ratio of bainitic ferrite, tempered martensite, etc. Here, when the Mn content is less than 2.00%, the area ratio of ferrite increases excessively, making it difficult to make TS above 1180 MPa. In addition, it also leads to a decrease in YS.

[0100] On the other hand, when the Mn content is 3.50% or more, the martensitic transformation starting temperature Ms (hereinafter also referred to as Ms point or Ms) decreases, and the martensite generated in the first cooling step decreases. As a result, the martensite generated in the second cooling step increases, and the martensite generated at this time is not fully tempered, and the area ratio of hard fresh martensite increases. Fresh martensite becomes the starting point of void generation during the hole expansion test, VDA bending test, or V-VDA bending test. When the area ratio of fresh martensite exceeds 10.0%, the desired λS cannot be achieved. Fmax In addition, the desired α may not be obtained in some cases.

[0101] Therefore, the Mn content is set to be 2.00% or more and less than 3.50%. The Mn content is preferably 2.50% or more. In addition, the Mn content is preferably 3.20% or less.

[0191] Area ratio of ferrite: 57.0% or less (including 0.0%)

[0192] Soft ferrite is a phase that improves ductility. However, when the area ratio of ferrite increases excessively, it is difficult to make TS above 1180 MPa. In addition, it also leads to a decrease in YS. Moreover, during annealing, the C concentration in austenite increases excessively, and the desired λ and S cannot be achieved. Fmax Therefore, the area ratio of ferrite is set to 57.0% or less. The area ratio of ferrite is preferably 30.0% or less, and more preferably 20.0% or less. There is no particular limitation on the lower limit of the area ratio of ferrite, and it may be 0.0%.

[0193] Total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite (excluding retained austenite): 40.0% or more and 90.0% or less

[0194] Bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite have intermediate hardness compared with soft ferrite and hard fresh martensite, and are important phases for ensuring good hole expansion, bendability, bending fracture characteristics and axial crushing characteristics. In addition, bainitic ferrite is also a useful phase for effectively utilizing the diffusion of C from bainitic ferrite to non-transformed austenite to obtain an appropriate amount of retained austenite. Tempered martensite is effective for improving TS. Therefore, the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite (excluding retained austenite) is set to more than 40.0%. The total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite (excluding retained austenite) is preferably more than 60.0%. On the other hand, when the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite (excluding retained austenite) is excessively increased, ductility decreases. Therefore, the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite (excluding retained austenite) is set to 90.0% or less. The total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite (excluding retained austenite) is preferably 87.0% or less, and more preferably 85.0% or less.

[0195] It should be noted that bainitic ferrite refers to upper bainite with a small amount of carbides generated in a relatively high temperature range.

[0196] Area ratio of retained austenite: 3.0% or more and 10.0% or less

[0197] From the viewpoint of obtaining good ductility, the area ratio of retained austenite is set to 3.0% or more. The area ratio of retained austenite is preferably 5.0% or more. On the other hand, when the area ratio of retained austenite is excessively increased, when the steel sheet is subjected to punching in a hole expansion test or V-bending in a V-VDA test, fresh martensite generated by the work-induced phase transformation becomes the starting point of void generation, and the desired λ and S cannot be achieved. Fmax Therefore, the area ratio of retained austenite is set to 10.0% or less. The area ratio of retained austenite is preferably 9.0% or less, and more preferably 8.0% or less.

[0198] For example, by controlling the tension during the second cooling step in the manufacturing method described later, the area ratio of retained austenite can be controlled to be 10.0% or less. After the holding step (in the case of galvanizing, after the galvanizing (after the alloying treatment as needed)), 2.0 kgf / mm 2 The steel plate is subjected to a tension of at least 4 passes while being in contact with a roll having a diameter of at least 500 mm and at most 1500 mm for 1 / 4 of a roll cycle per pass, and the steel plate is subjected to a treatment of at least 2 passes while being in contact with a roll having a diameter of at least 500 mm and at most 1500 mm for 1 / 2 of a roll cycle per pass, thereby causing unstable retained austenite to undergo a processing-induced phase transformation into fresh martensite, which is tempered during subsequent cooling and eventually becomes tempered martensite.

[0199] Area ratio of fresh martensite: 10.0% or less (including 0.0%)

[0200] If the area ratio of fresh martensite increases excessively, fresh martensite becomes the starting point of void formation in the hole expansion test, VDA bending test or V-VDA bending test, and the desired λ, α and S cannot be achieved. Fmax From the viewpoint of ensuring good hole expandability and bendability, the area ratio of fresh martensite is set to 10.0% or less, preferably 5.0% or less. It should be noted that there is no particular restriction on the lower limit of the area ratio of fresh martensite, and it may be 0.0%.

[0201] It should be noted that fresh martensite refers to martensite in a quenched state (not tempered).

[0202] Value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite: 0.70 or more

[0203] Due to the diffusion of C from bainitic ferrite to untransformed austenite, the area ratio of retained austenite increases. In order to ensure that the area ratio of retained austenite is less than 10.0%, the value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite is set to 0.70 or more. The value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite is preferably 0.75 or more. There is no particular upper limit, and the value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite can be 1.00.

[0204] It should be noted that the area ratio of the remaining tissue other than the above is preferably set to 10.0% or less. The area ratio of the remaining tissue is more preferably set to 5.0% or less. In addition, the area ratio of the remaining tissue may be 0.0%.

[0205] The remaining structure is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include carbides such as lower bainite, pearlite, and cementite. The type of the remaining structure can be confirmed by, for example, observation using a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope).

[0206] The area ratios of ferrite, bainitic ferrite, tempered martensite, and hard phase (hard second phase (retained austenite+fresh martensite)) were measured as follows at a position of ¼ of the plate thickness of the base steel plate.

[0207] That is, the sample was cut out from the base steel plate so that the plate thickness section parallel to the rolling direction of the base steel plate became the observation surface. Then, the observation surface of the sample was mirror-polished using diamond paste. Then, the observation surface of the sample was finely polished using colloidal silica, and then etched using 3 volume % nitric acid ethanol solution to expose the structure.

[0208] Then, three fields of view of 25.6 μm×17.6 μm on the observation surface of the sample were photographed using a SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) under conditions of an acceleration voltage of 15 kV and a magnification of 5000 times.

[0209] The tissue images obtained (refer to Figure 1 ) Ferrite, bainitic ferrite, tempered martensite and hard phase (hard second phase (retained austenite + fresh martensite)) are identified as follows.

[0210] Figure 1 In the formula, the symbol BF represents bainitic ferrite, the symbol F represents ferrite, and the symbol TM represents tempered martensite. Figure 1 In the graph, θ represents carbide and H1 represents hard phase.

[0211] Ferrite: A black area with a blocky shape. Also, there is almost no iron-based carbide contained therein. However, in the case of iron-based carbide contained therein, the area of ​​ferrite is set to include the area of ​​iron-based carbide. In addition, the same is true for bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite described later.

[0212] Bainitic ferrite: It appears in black to dark gray areas and has blocky or amorphous shapes. In addition, it contains no or fewer iron-based carbides.

[0213] Tempered martensite: It is a gray area with an amorphous shape and contains a large amount of iron carbides.

[0214] Hard phase (hard second phase (retained austenite + fresh martensite)): presents a region from white to light gray, and is amorphous. Also, there is no iron-based carbide contained inside. It should be noted that when the size is large, the color gradually darkens as it moves away from the interface with other tissues, and the inside appears dark gray.

[0215] Carbides: White areas in the form of dots and lines, enclosed in tempered martensite, bainitic ferrite and ferrite.

[0216] Remaining structure: The above-mentioned lower bainite, pearlite, etc. can be mentioned, and their morphologies and the like are well known.

[0217] Next, the area of ​​each phase identified in the structure image was calculated by the following method. A 20×20 grid was separated at equal intervals on an area of ​​23.1μm×17.6μm in actual length on the above SEM image with a magnification of 5000 times, and the area ratio of ferrite, bainitic ferrite, tempered martensite and hard phase (hard second phase) was calculated by the point counting method of counting the number of points on each phase. The area ratio was set to the average of the three area ratios found in each SEM image with a magnification of 5000 times.

[0218] In addition, the area ratio of retained austenite was measured as follows.

[0219] That is, the base steel plate is mechanically ground along the plate thickness direction (depth direction) to 1 / 4 of the plate thickness, and then chemically polished with oxalic acid to form an observation surface. Next, the observation surface is observed using the X-ray diffraction method. Using MoKα rays as incident X-rays, the diffraction intensity of each surface of fcc iron (austenite) (200), (220) and (311) is calculated relative to the diffraction intensity of each surface of bcc iron (200), (211) and (220), and the volume ratio of retained austenite is calculated from the ratio of the diffraction intensity of each surface. In addition, it is considered that the retained austenite is three-dimensionally homogeneous, and the volume ratio of retained austenite is taken as the area ratio of retained austenite.

[0220] The area ratio of fresh martensite is determined by subtracting the area ratio of retained austenite from the area ratio of the hard phase (hard second phase) determined as described above.

[0221] [Area ratio of fresh martensite (%)] = [Area ratio of hard second phase (%)] - [Area ratio of retained austenite (%)]

[0222] The area ratio of the remaining structure is obtained by subtracting the area ratio of ferrite, the area ratio of bainitic ferrite, the area ratio of tempered martensite, and the area ratio of the hard phase (hard second phase) obtained as described above from 100.0%.

[0223] [Area ratio of remaining structure (%)] = 100.0 - [Area ratio of ferrite (%)] - [Area ratio of bainitic ferrite (%)] - [Area ratio of tempered martensite (%)] - [Area ratio of hard second phase (%)]

[0224] Surface soft layer

[0225] The base steel plate of the steel plate according to one embodiment of the present invention preferably has a surface soft layer on the surface of the base steel plate. Since the surface soft layer helps to suppress the extension of bending cracks during stamping and vehicle body collision, the bending fracture resistance is further improved. It should be noted that the surface soft layer refers to a decarburized layer, which is a surface area with a Vickers hardness of less than 85% relative to the Vickers hardness of the cross section at a position of 1 / 4 of the plate thickness.

[0226] Here, the surface soft layer is formed in an area 200 μm or less from the surface of the base steel plate in the plate thickness direction. Regarding the area where the surface soft layer is formed, it is preferably 150 μm or less, more preferably 120 μm or less from the surface of the base steel plate in the plate thickness direction. It should be noted that there is no particular lower limit for the thickness of the surface soft layer, but the thickness of the surface soft layer is preferably 7 μm or more, more preferably 11 μm or more. In addition, the surface soft layer is preferably 30 μm or more, more preferably 40 μm or more.

[0227] The 1 / 4 position of the plate thickness of the base steel plate for measuring the Vickers hardness is a non-surface soft layer (a layer that does not satisfy the hardness condition of the surface soft layer specified in the present invention).

[0228] The Vickers hardness was measured based on JIS Z 2244-1 (2020) with a load set to 10 gf.

[0229] Nanohardness of the soft surface layer

[0230] When the nanohardness of 300 or more points is measured in an area of ​​50 μm×50 μm on the plate surface at each of the position 1 / 4 of the depth in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the surface of the base steel plate and the position 1 / 2 of the depth in the plate thickness direction, the ratio of the number of measurements of the plate surface having a nanohardness of 7.0 GPa or more at the position 1 / 4 of the depth in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the surface of the base steel plate is 0.10 or less relative to the total number of measurements at the position 1 / 4 of the depth in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer

[0231] In the present invention, in order to obtain excellent bendability during stamping and excellent bending fracture characteristics during collision, it is preferred that when the nanohardness of more than 300 points is measured in the 50μm×50μm area of ​​the plate surface at each position of 1 / 4 position of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer and 1 / 2 position of the plate thickness direction depth from the base steel plate surface, the nanohardness of the plate surface at the position of 1 / 4 position of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface is 7.0GPa or more, and the total measured number of the position of 1 / 4 position of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer is less than 0.10. When the ratio of nanohardness of more than 7.0GPa is less than 0.10, it means that the ratio of hard tissue (martensite, etc.), inclusions, etc. is small, and the generation, connection, and expansion of cracks of hard tissue (martensite, etc.), inclusions, etc. during stamping and collision can be further suppressed, and excellent R / t, α and SFmax can be obtained.

[0232] The standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 4 of the depth in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the steel plate surface is 1.8 GPa or less, and the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 2 of the depth in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the steel plate surface is 2.2 GPa or less

[0233] In the present invention, in order to obtain excellent bendability during stamping and excellent bending fracture characteristics during collision, it is preferred that the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 4 of the depth in the thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the steel plate surface is 1.8 GPa or less, and the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 2 of the depth in the thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the steel plate surface is 2.2 GPa or less. When the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 4 of the depth in the thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the steel plate surface is 1.8 GPa or less, and the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 2 of the depth in the thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the steel plate surface is 2.2 GPa or less, it indicates that the difference in tissue hardness in the microscopic region is small. Therefore, due to the small difference in tissue hardness in the microscopic region, the generation, connection and expansion of cracks during stamping and collision can be further suppressed, and excellent R / t, α and SFmax can be obtained.

[0234] The preferred range of the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 4 of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface is preferably 1.7 GPa or less. The standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 4 of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface is more preferably 1.3 GPa or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, but the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at a position 1 / 4 of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface can be set to 0.5 GPa or more.

[0235] The more preferred range of the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at 1 / 2 of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface is 2.1 GPa or less. The standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at 1 / 2 of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface is more preferably 1.7 GPa or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, but the standard deviation σ of the nanohardness of the plate surface at 1 / 2 of the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface can be set to 0.6 GPa or more.

[0236] Here, the nanohardness of the plate surface at the 1 / 4 position and the 1 / 2 position in the depth in the plate thickness direction refers to the hardness measured by the following method.

[0237] In the case where a coating is formed, after the coating is peeled off, mechanical grinding is performed until the position of -5 μm from the surface of the base steel plate, which is 1 / 4 of the depth in the thickness direction of the surface soft layer, and polishing with diamond and alumina and grinding with colloidal silica are performed until the position of 1 / 4 of the depth in the thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the surface of the base steel plate. Here, the peeled coating is the zinc coating when the zinc coating is formed, the metal coating when the metal coating is formed, and the zinc coating and the metal coating when the zinc coating and the metal coating are formed.

[0238] The nanohardness was measured using Tribo-950 manufactured by Hysitron Corporation and a Berkovich-shaped diamond indenter under the following conditions: load: 500 μN, measurement area: 50 μm×50 μm, and dot spacing: 2 μm.

[0239] Next, mechanical grinding, polishing with diamond and alumina, and colloidal silica grinding were performed until the surface soft layer reached 1 / 2 of the depth in the thickness direction. Nanohardness was measured using Hysitron's Tribo-950 with a Berkovich-shaped diamond indenter under the conditions of load: 500 μN, measurement area: 50 μm×50 μm, and dot interval: 2 μm.

[0240] Nanohardness was measured at 300 or more points at 1 / 4 of the depth in the plate thickness direction, and nanohardness was also measured at 300 or more points at 1 / 2 of the depth in the plate thickness direction.

[0241] For example, when the thickness of the surface soft layer is 100 μm, the 1 / 4 position is 25 μm from the surface of the surface soft layer, and the 1 / 2 position is 50 μm from the surface of the surface soft layer. The nanohardness of more than 300 points is measured at the 25 μm position, and the nanohardness of more than 300 points is also measured at the 50 μm position.

[0242] Metal plating (first layer)

[0243] In addition, the steel sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention preferably has a metal coating (first coating, pre-coating) on ​​one or both surfaces of the base steel sheet (it should be noted that the metal coating (first coating) does not include a hot-dip galvanized layer or a zinc coating of an alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer). The metal coating is preferably a metal electroplating layer, and the metal electroplating layer is used as an example for explanation below.

[0244] By forming a metal plating layer on the surface of the steel sheet, the metal plating layer on the outermost surface helps to suppress the occurrence of bending cracks during press forming and vehicle body collision, thereby further improving the bending fracture resistance.

[0245] In the present invention, by setting the dew point to be higher than -5°C, the thickness of the soft layer can be further increased, and the shaft crushing characteristics can be made very excellent. In this regard, in the present invention, by having a metal plating layer, even if the thickness of the soft layer is small due to setting the dew point to be lower than -5°C, the shaft crushing characteristics equivalent to those when the thickness of the soft layer is large can be obtained.

[0246] The metal type of the metal plating layer can be any one of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Os, Ir, Rt, Au, Hg, Ti, Pb, and Bi, and more preferably Fe. Hereinafter, the Fe-based plating layer will be described as an example, but the following conditions for Fe can also be adopted for other metal types.

[0247] The Fe-based electroplating layer adhesion amount is set to be greater than 0 g / m 2 , preferably set to 2.0g / m 2 There is no particular upper limit on the amount of Fe-based electroplating layer deposited on each side, but from a cost perspective, it is preferred that the amount of Fe-based electroplating layer deposited on each side be set to 60 g / m 2 The Fe-based electroplating layer is preferably set to a weight of 50 g / m 2 Below, more preferably set to 40g / m 2 Below, it is further preferably set to 30g / m 2 the following.

[0248] The adhesion amount of the Fe-based electroplated layer is measured as follows. A sample of 10×15 mm in size is cut from the Fe-based electroplated steel plate, embedded in a resin, and made into a cross-section embedded sample. Use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an acceleration voltage of 15 kV and a magnification of 2000 to 10000 times according to the thickness of the Fe-based plating layer to observe any three places of the cross section, and multiply the average value of the thickness of the three fields of view by the specific gravity of iron, thereby converting it into the adhesion amount of each single side of the Fe-based electroplated layer.

[0249] As Fe system electroplating layer, except pure Fe can be used, alloy plating layers such as Fe-B alloy, Fe-C alloy, Fe-P alloy, Fe-N alloy, Fe-O alloy, Fe-Ni alloy, Fe-Mn alloy, Fe-Mo alloy, Fe-W alloy can also be used.The composition of Fe system electroplating layer is not particularly limited, but preferably set to contain one or more elements selected from the group consisting of B, C, P, N, O, Ni, Mn, Mo, Zn, W, Pb, Sn, Cr, V and Co below 10 mass %, the remainder is made of Fe and inevitable impurities.By setting the amount of the element except Fe to total below 10 mass %, the reduction of electrolysis efficiency can be prevented, and Fe system electroplating layer can be formed at low cost.In the case of Fe-C alloy, the content of C is preferably set to below 0.08 mass %.

[0250] It is more preferable to have a surface soft layer under the Fe-based electroplating layer, thereby significantly improving the bending fracture resistance. In the case of having an Fe-based electroplating layer, the Vickers hardness distribution is measured from the interface between the Fe-based electroplating layer and the base steel sheet in the plate thickness direction by the above method to evaluate the depth of the surface soft layer in the plate thickness direction.

[0251] V-VDA bending test is performed to the highest load point. In the overlapping area of ​​the V-bend ridgeline and the VDA-bend ridgeline, the number of voids in contact with the hard phase among all voids (the number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed by the destruction of the hard phase) is divided by the total number of voids: 0.60 or less

[0252] In the overlapping area of ​​the V-bend flat portion and the VDA-bend ridgeline portion, the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase among all voids (the number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed by the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids: 0.20 or less

[0253] In the present invention, by performing the above-mentioned void control, high bending fracture characteristics in the V-VDA bending test can be obtained. When the voids in the steel sheet structure are generated adjacent to the hard phase, the voids are easy to expand along the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase, and finally cracks are generated. In the case where the voids are not adjacent to the hard phase, for example, when they are generated adjacent to the carbide, it is believed that the connection and expansion of the voids are not easy to occur. In the V-bending ridgeline and the VDA bending ridgeline, the area ratio of the hard phase increases due to the fresh martensite generated by the processing-induced phase transformation during the V bending. In the present invention, in the overlapping area of ​​the V-bending ridgeline and the VDA bending ridgeline, the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase in all the voids (the number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed due to the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids is set to 0.60 or less. Preferably, the value is 0.59 or less, and more preferably 0.58 or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, and the value can be 0.00.

[0254] On the other hand, in the V-bend flat portion and the VDA-bend ridge portion, the area ratio of the hard phase is small. In the present invention, in the overlapping area of ​​the V-bend flat portion and the VDA-bend ridge portion, the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase in all voids by the total number of voids is set to 0.20 or less. Preferably, the value is 0.19 or less, and more preferably 0.18 or less. The lower limit is not particularly limited, and the value may be 0.00.

[0255] In the present invention, the soft phase refers to a phase other than the hard phase.

[0256] The above-mentioned V-VDA bending test is performed as follows.

[0257] A 60 mm x 65 mm test piece was cut from the obtained steel plate by shearing. Here, the 60 mm side is parallel to the rolling (L) direction. The test piece was prepared by bending 90° (primary bending) in the rolling (L) direction with a curvature radius / plate thickness of 4.2 and with the width (C) direction as the axis. In the 90° bending (primary bending), if Figure 2-1 As shown in (a), a punch B1 is pressed into a steel plate placed on a die A1 having a V-shaped groove to obtain a test piece T1. Figure 2-1 As shown in (b), the test piece T1 placed on the support roll A2 is subjected to orthogonal bending (secondary bending) by pressing the punch B2 into the test piece so that the bending direction is at right angles to the rolling direction. Figure 2-1 (a) and Figure 2-1 In (b), symbol D1 indicates the width (C) direction, and symbol D2 indicates the rolling (L) direction.

[0258] The schematic diagram of the stroke-load curve obtained when performing the V-VDA test is shown in Figure 3The V-VDA test will be carried out to the maximum load point P, and then when the load reaches 94.9-99.9% of the maximum load ( Figure 3 The sample without loading (reference symbol R) is used as the evaluation sample for the V-VDA bending test.

[0259] The test piece T1 after V-bending (primary bending) of the steel plate in the V-VDA bending test is shown in FIG. Figure 2-2 (c) In addition, the test piece T2 after VDA bending (secondary bending) is performed on the test piece T1 is shown in Figure 2-2 (d) in. Figure 2-2 The position indicated by the short dashed line on the test piece T2 of (d) is the V-bending ridgeline described above, and is the same as the position before VDA bending. Figure 2-2 The V-bend ridgeline and the VDA-bend ridgeline a (the overlapping area a between the V-bend ridgeline and the VDA-bend ridgeline), and the V-bend flat portion (non-processed portion) and the VDA-bend ridgeline b are shown in FIG. Figure 2-2 (d) in.

[0260] Here, the V-bend ridgeline portion refers to a region ranging from a V-bend corner (apex) extending in the width direction to both sides by 5 mm.

[0261] In addition, the V-bend flat portion refers to a region of the steel plate excluding the V-bend ridgeline portion.

[0262] The VDA bending ridgeline portion refers to a region ranging from a VDA bending corner (apex) extending in the rolling direction where VDA bending is performed to 5 mm on both sides.

[0263] The L section AL when the D2 direction is perpendicular to the paper plane and the D1 direction is parallel to the paper plane is shown in Figure 2-3 (e) in.

[0264] The gap between the V-bend ridge and the VDA-bend ridge, and the gap between the V-bend flat portion and the VDA-bend ridge are measured as follows. The steel plate after the V-VDA bending test is cut along the rolling perpendicular direction at the V-bend ridge and the VDA-bend ridge a and the V-bend flat portion and the VDA-bend ridge b to obtain a plate thickness section, and then the SEM (scanning electron microscope) is used to examine the area of ​​0 to 100 μm from the steel plate surface at the bending vertex of the outer side of the VDA bend at a magnification of 3000 times ( Figure 2-3(e) AB area indicated by the dotted line) C section of the 3 fields of view. In the obtained image, the surrounding structure of the void is judged as described above, and the void is a darker black than ferrite, which can be clearly distinguished from each structure. Among all the voids, the number of voids with a perimeter exceeding 0% in contact with the hard phase (hard second phase (retained austenite + fresh martensite)) is the total number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed due to the destruction of the hard phase.

[0265] The value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase by the total number of voids specified in the present invention is calculated by averaging the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase exceeding 0% of the perimeter of the three viewing fields (the total number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed by the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids. This measurement is performed by performing the V-VDA bending test to the maximum load, and then at the time when the load reaches 94.9 to 99.9% (for example, 95%) of the maximum load (refer to Figure 3 ) is carried out on a test piece that has been unloaded.

[0266] One void was measured as one island-like region surrounded by the tissue on the periphery and formed integrally without interruption in the SEM image.

[0267] The mean free path L of carbides M :0.20μm or more

[0268] Figure 4 (a) to (c) of FIG. 1 show examples of tissue images for explaining voids. Figure 4 In the figure, the symbol H1 represents a hard phase, and the symbol S1 represents a soft phase. Figure 4 The symbol V1 in (a) represents the gap between the hard phase and the soft phase. Figure 4 The symbol V2 in (b) represents the voids formed by the destruction of the hard phase. Figure 4 The symbol V3 in (c) represents voids caused by carbides, and the symbol θ represents carbides.

[0269] In the present invention, if Figure 4 As shown (especially with reference to Figure 4 (c) After V-VDA bending to the maximum load, the formation of voids in the steel sheet structure is sometimes caused by carbides (refer to symbols V3, θ). At this time, when the mean free path of carbides is less than 0.20μm, the distance between the voids caused by carbides becomes longer, stress is concentrated at the location where the voids are generated, and the voids are easily connected. As a result, the desired S Fmax Therefore, the mean free path L of carbides in the steel plate (steel plate not subjected to the V-VDA bending test) is M Set to 0.20μm or more.M It is preferably 0.25 μm or more, and more preferably 0.30 μm or more. M It is preferably 0.50 μm or less, and more preferably 0.45 μm or less.

[0270] The average value σ of the standard deviation of the intervals between one carbide A selected from all carbides in the steel plate and the remaining carbides other than the carbide A C :7.50μm or less

[0271] The change in carbide distribution affects the formation and connection of voids. The average value of the standard deviation of the spacing between carbides is σ C When the diameter is larger than 7.50 μm, the distribution of voids caused by carbides becomes more variable, so stress is concentrated at the site where a large number of voids are generated, and the voids are easily connected. As a result, the desired S Fmax Therefore, the average value σ of the standard deviation of the intervals between carbides in the steel plate (steel plate not subjected to the V-VDA bending test) is C Set to 7.50μm or less. C It is preferably 7.30 μm or less, and more preferably 7.00 μm or less. C It is preferably 5.00 μm or more, and more preferably 6.00 μm or more.

[0272] Here, the mean free path L of carbides is M And the standard deviation are measured as follows. In the 25.6μm×17.6μm area of ​​the steel plate (steel plate without V-VDA bending test), the tissue image obtained by SEM used in the above-mentioned tissue fraction determination is hand-drawn to distinguish the carbides by color and extract them to make an image of only carbides. Then, using the open source ImageJ, the area fraction of all carbides and the centroid coordinates and equivalent circle diameter of each carbide are calculated. In addition, it is believed that carbides are three-dimensionally homogeneous, and the area fraction of carbides is taken as the volume fraction of carbides.

[0273] The mean free path L of carbides M Calculated by the following formula.

[0274] L M =(d M / 2)×((400π / 3f) 1 / 3 ) …Formula (1)

[0275] Here, L M is the mean free path of carbides (mean free path of the center of gravity of carbides), d M : average (number average) equivalent circle diameter of carbides (μm), π is the circumference of a circle, and f is the volume fraction of all carbides (%).

[0276] The average value of the standard deviation of the intervals between carbides is σ C Calculated by the following formula (2):

[0277]

[0278] n, i, j, d in formula (2) ij d iave as follows.

[0279] n: the number of all carbides in the field of view (25.6 μm×17.6 μm).

[0280] i: The number of the carbide (one carbide A selected arbitrarily from all carbides) used to measure the interval with other carbides. The value of i can be an integer from 1 to n.

[0281] j: The number of the carbide other than carbide A. The possible value of j is an integer from 1 to n other than i.

[0282] d ij : The distance (μm) between the i-th carbide (carbide A) and the j-th carbide.

[0283] d iave : Average value (μm) of the distance between all carbides (excluding the i-th carbide) and the i-th carbide in the field of view.

[0284] Next, the mechanical properties of the steel sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0287] It should be noted that the yield stress (YS), total elongation (El), limit hole expansion ratio (λ), limit bending angle (α) in the VDA bending test, and stroke (S) at the maximum load in the V-VDA bending test of the steel sheet according to one embodiment of the present invention are as follows: Fmax ) and the presence or absence of shaft crush fracture, as described above.

[0288] In addition, the tensile strength (TS), yield stress (YS) and total elongation (El) are measured by a tensile test based on JIS Z 2241 (2011) described later in the examples. The limiting hole expansion ratio (λ) is measured by a hole expansion test based on JIS Z 2256 (2020) described later in the examples. The limiting bending angle (α) in the VDA bending test is measured by a VDA bending test based on VDA238-100 described later in the examples. The stroke (S) at the maximum load in the V-VDA bending test Fmax ) was measured by the V-VDA bending test described later in the examples. The presence or absence of axial crush fracture was measured by the axial crush test described later in the examples.

[0289] Zinc coating (second coating)

[0290] According to one embodiment of the present invention, a steel plate may have a zinc coating as the outermost layer formed on a base steel plate (on the surface of the base steel plate or on the surface of the metal coating when a metal coating is formed). The zinc coating may be provided on only one surface of the base steel plate or on both surfaces.

[0291] That is, the steel sheet of the present invention may have a base steel sheet and a second coating (zinc coating) formed on the base steel sheet, or may have a base steel sheet and a metal coating (a first coating (excluding the zinc coating, i.e., the second coating)) and a second coating (zinc coating) sequentially formed on the base steel sheet.

[0292] The steel sheet having the zinc coating may be a galvanized steel sheet.

[0293] It should be noted that the zinc plating layer mentioned here refers to a plating layer containing Zn as a main component (Zn content is 50.0% or more), and examples thereof include a hot-dip galvanized layer and an alloyed hot-dip galvanized layer.

[0294] Here, the hot-dip galvanized layer is preferably composed of, for example, Zn and 20.0% by mass or less of Fe, and 0.001% by mass or more and 1.0% by mass or less of Al. In addition, the hot-dip galvanized layer may optionally contain a total of 0.0% by mass or more and 3.5% by mass or less of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Co, Ca, Cu, Li, Ti, Be, Bi and REM. In addition, the Fe content of the hot-dip galvanized layer is more preferably less than 7.0% by mass. It should be noted that the remainder other than the above elements is an inevitable impurity.

[0295] In addition, the alloyed hot-dip galvanneal layer is preferably composed of, for example, Zn and Fe of less than 20.0 mass %, and Al of more than 0.001 mass % and less than 1.0 mass %. In addition, in the alloyed hot-dip galvanneal layer, one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Pb, Sb, Si, Sn, Mg, Mn, Ni, Cr, Co, Ca, Cu, Li, Ti, Be, Bi and REM, which are totaling more than 0.0 mass % and less than 3.5 mass %, may be optionally contained.

[0296] The coating weight per single side of the zinc coating is not particularly limited, but is preferably set to 20 g / m 2 In addition, the coating weight per single side of the zinc coating is preferably set to 80 g / m 2 the following.

[0297] In addition, the coating adhesion amount of the zinc plating layer was measured as follows.

[0298] That is, a treatment solution was prepared by adding 0.6 g of a corrosion inhibitor for Fe (manufactured by Asahi Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., "IBIT 700BK" (registered trademark)) to 1 L of a 10% by mass hydrochloric acid aqueous solution. Next, the steel plate as the test material was immersed in the treatment solution to dissolve the zinc coating. Then, the mass reduction of the test material before and after dissolution was measured, and the value was divided by the surface area of ​​the base steel plate (the surface area of ​​the portion covered by the coating), thereby calculating the coating adhesion (g / m 2 ).

[0299] It should be noted that the thickness of the steel plate according to one embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 0.5 mm or more, and more preferably 0.6 mm or more.

[0303] [2. Method for manufacturing steel plate]

[0304] Next, a method for producing a steel sheet according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0305] The method for manufacturing a steel plate according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises: a hot rolling process, wherein a steel slab having the above-mentioned composition is hot-rolled to form a hot-rolled steel plate; a pickling process, wherein the hot-rolled steel plate is pickled; an annealing process, wherein the steel plate after the pickling process is annealed at an annealing temperature: (Ac 1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 )×3 / 4)℃ and below 900℃ and annealing time: 20 seconds or more; a first cooling step, wherein the steel plate after the annealing step is cooled to a first cooling stop temperature of 100℃ to 300℃; a holding step, wherein the steel plate after the first cooling step is held in a temperature range of 350℃ to 550℃ for 3 seconds or more and less than 80 seconds; and a second cooling step, wherein the steel plate after the holding step is cooled to a second cooling stop temperature of 50℃ or less, and during the cooling, 2.0kgf / mm2 is applied to the steel plate in a temperature range of 300℃ to 450℃ or less. 2 The steel plate is subjected to a tension of at least 4 passes while being brought into contact with a roll having a diameter of at least 500 mm and at most 1500 mm for 1 / 4 of a roll circle per pass, and the steel plate is subjected to a treatment of at least 2 passes while being brought into contact with a roll having a diameter of at least 500 mm and at most 1500 mm for 1 / 2 of a roll circle per pass, or the process of cold rolling the steel plate after the pickling process and before the annealing process to obtain a cold-rolled steel plate is also included.

[0306] It should be noted that the above-mentioned temperatures indicate the surface temperatures of the steel slab and the steel plate unless otherwise specified.

[0307] First, a steel billet having the above-mentioned composition is prepared. For example, a steel raw material is melted to form molten steel having the above-mentioned composition. The smelting method is not particularly limited, and known smelting methods such as converter smelting and electric furnace smelting can be used. Next, the obtained molten steel is solidified to form a steel billet. There is no particular limitation on the method for obtaining a steel billet from molten steel, and for example, a continuous casting method, an ingot casting method, or a thin slab casting method can be used. From the viewpoint of preventing macrosegregation, a continuous casting method is preferred.

[0308] [Hot rolling process]

[0309] Next, in the hot rolling step, the steel slab is hot rolled to produce a hot-rolled steel sheet.

[0310] Hot rolling can be carried out by applying an energy-saving process. Examples of energy-saving processes include direct rolling (a method in which the steel slab is directly loaded into a heating furnace in a warm state without cooling it to room temperature and hot rolled) and direct rolling (a method in which the steel slab is rolled immediately after being slightly kept hot).

[0311] There are no particular restrictions on hot rolling conditions, but the hot rolling can be carried out under the following conditions, for example.

[0312] That is, the billet is temporarily cooled to room temperature, and then rolled after reheating. From the viewpoint of melting of carbides and reduction of rolling load, the billet heating temperature (reheating temperature) is preferably set to 1100°C or above. In addition, in order to prevent the increase of oxide scale loss, the billet heating temperature is preferably set to 1300°C or below. It should be noted that the billet heating temperature is based on the temperature of the billet surface.

[0313] Next, the steel billet is rough-rolled according to a conventional method to form a rough-rolled plate (hereinafter also referred to as a thin slab). Next, the thin slab is finish-rolled to form a hot-rolled steel plate. It should be noted that, when the heating temperature of the steel billet is lowered, from the viewpoint of preventing failures during finish rolling, it is preferred to heat the thin slab using a rod heater or the like before finish rolling. In order to reduce the rolling load, the finish rolling temperature is preferably set to above 800°C. In addition, when the reduction rate of austenite in the unrecrystallized state becomes higher, it is possible that an abnormal structure extending in the rolling direction develops, thereby reducing the workability of the annealed sheet. In addition, by setting the finish rolling temperature to above 800°C, the steel structure at the hot-rolled steel plate stage and the steel structure of the final product are easily uniform. It should be noted that when the steel structure becomes uneven, there is a tendency for the bendability to decrease.

[0314] On the other hand, when the finishing temperature is higher than 950°C, the amount of oxide (scale) generated increases. As a result, the interface between the steel base and the oxide may become rough, and the surface quality of the steel plate after pickling and cold rolling may deteriorate. In addition, since the grains become coarse, it may also become a cause of reducing the strength and bendability of the steel plate. Therefore, the finishing temperature is preferably set to a range of 950°C or more. In summary, the finishing temperature is preferably set to a range of 800°C or more and 950°C or more.

[0315] After the finish rolling, the hot rolled steel sheet is coiled. The coiling temperature is preferably set to 450° C. or higher. Alternatively, the coiling temperature is preferably set to 750° C. or lower.

[0316] It should be noted that the thin slabs can also be joined to each other during hot rolling and continuously finished rolling. In addition, the thin slabs can also be temporarily coiled before finishing rolling. In addition, in order to reduce the rolling load during hot rolling, part or all of the finishing rolling can also be set to lubrication rolling. From the perspective of uniformity of the shape of the steel plate and uniformity of the material, it is also effective to carry out lubrication rolling. It should be noted that the friction coefficient during lubrication rolling is preferably set to a range of 0.10 or more and 0.25 or less.

[0317] In the hot rolling process (hot rolling step) including rough rolling and finish rolling, the steel billet is usually rough rolled to become a thin slab, and the steel billet is finish rolled to become a hot rolled steel plate. However, depending on the grinding capacity, etc., there is no problem as long as the specified size is reached.

[0318] [Pickling process]

[0319] The hot rolled steel sheet after the hot rolling process is pickled. The pickling can remove the oxides on the surface of the steel sheet, and can ensure good chemical conversion treatment and coating quality. It should be noted that the pickling can be performed only once or in multiple times. There is no particular restriction on the pickling conditions, as long as they are performed according to conventional methods.

[0320] [Cold rolling process]

[0321] Next, the hot-rolled steel sheet is subjected to cold rolling as necessary to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet. The cold rolling is performed by multi-pass rolling requiring two or more passes, such as tandem multi-stand rolling or reverse rolling.

[0322] The cold rolling reduction ratio (cumulative reduction ratio) is not particularly limited, but is preferably set to 20% or more. In addition, the cold rolling reduction ratio is preferably set to 80% or less. When the cold rolling reduction ratio is less than 20%, the steel structure is likely to be coarsened and non-uniform in the annealing process, and the TS and bendability of the final product may be reduced. On the other hand, when the cold rolling reduction ratio is greater than 80%, the shape of the steel sheet is likely to be poor, and the amount of zinc coating adhesion may become non-uniform.

[0323] In addition, the cold-rolled steel sheet obtained after cold rolling may be optionally subjected to pickling.

[0324] [Metal plating (electrometal plating, first plating) step]

[0325] In one embodiment of the present invention, it may include a first plating process of plating metal on one or both sides of a steel plate after a hot rolling process (after a pickling process, and after a cold rolling process after the pickling process when cold rolling is performed) and before an annealing process to form a metal plating layer (first plating layer).

[0326] For example, the surface of the hot-rolled steel sheet or cold-rolled steel sheet obtained as above can be subjected to electroplating metal treatment to produce a pre-annealing electroplated metal steel sheet having a pre-annealing metal plating layer formed on at least one side. It should be noted that the metal plating mentioned here does not include zinc plating (second plating).

[0327] The electroplating metal treatment method is not particularly limited, but as described above, the metal plating layer formed on the base steel sheet is preferably a metal electroplating layer, and therefore, the electroplating metal treatment is preferably performed.

[0328] For example, the Fe-based electroplating bath may be a sulfuric acid bath, a hydrochloric acid bath, or a mixture of the two. In addition, the amount of metal plating layer attached before annealing can be adjusted according to the power-on time, etc. It should be noted that the metal-plated steel sheet before annealing means that the metal plating layer has not undergone an annealing process, and does not exclude the method of pre-annealing the hot-rolled steel sheet before the metal plating treatment, the pickling treatment plate after hot rolling, or the cold-rolled steel sheet.

[0329] Here, the metal type of the electroplating layer can be any one of Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Os, Ir, Rt, Au, Hg, Ti, Pb, and Bi, and more preferably Fe. The following is an example of the manufacturing method of the Fe-based electroplating layer, but the following conditions of the Fe-based electroplating layer can also be used for other metal-based electroplating layers.

[0330] The Fe ion content in the Fe-based electroplating bath before power on is expressed as Fe 2+ The Fe ion content in the Fe-based electroplating bath is expressed as Fe 2+ When it is 0.5 mol / L or more, a sufficient Fe deposition amount can be obtained. In order to obtain a sufficient Fe deposition amount, the Fe ion content in the Fe-based electroplating bath before the start of energization is preferably set to 2.0 mol / L or less.

[0331] In addition, Fe ions and at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, C, P, N, O, Ni, Mn, Mo, Zn, W, Pb, Sn, Cr, V and Co can be contained in the Fe-based electroplating bath. The total content of these elements in the Fe-based electroplating bath is preferably set in a manner that the total content of these elements in the Fe-based electroplating layer before annealing is less than 10% by mass. It should be noted that the metal element can be contained in the form of metal ions, and the non-metallic element can be contained as a part of boric acid, phosphoric acid, nitric acid, organic acid, etc. In addition, the iron sulfate plating solution can also contain conductive additives such as sodium sulfate and potassium sulfate, chelating agents, and pH buffers.

[0332] There are no special restrictions on other conditions of the Fe-based electroplating bath. Considering the constant temperature maintenance, the temperature of the Fe-based electroplating solution is preferably set to above 30°C, preferably below 85°C. There are no special restrictions on the pH of the Fe-based electroplating bath, but from the viewpoint of preventing the reduction of current efficiency caused by the generation of hydrogen, it is preferably set to above 1.0. In addition, considering the conductivity of the Fe-based electroplating bath, it is preferably below 3.0. Regarding the current density, from the viewpoint of productivity, it is preferably set to 10A / dm 2 From the viewpoint of easy control of the adhesion amount of the Fe-based electroplating layer, it is preferably set to 150 A / dm 2 The sheet passing speed is preferably set to 5 mpm or more from the viewpoint of productivity, and is preferably set to 150 mpm or less from the viewpoint of stably controlling the amount of adhesion.

[0333] It should be noted that as a treatment before the Fe-based electroplating treatment, degreasing treatment and water washing for cleaning the surface of the steel plate, and pickling treatment and water washing for activating the surface of the steel plate can be implemented. Following these pretreatments, the Fe-based electroplating treatment is implemented. The methods of degreasing treatment and water washing are not particularly limited, and the usual methods can be used. In the pickling treatment, various acids such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid and mixtures thereof can be used. Among them, sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or a mixture thereof is preferred. The concentration of the acid is not particularly limited, but if the ability to remove the oxide film and the prevention of surface roughness (surface defects) caused by excessive pickling are considered, it is preferably about 1% by mass to about 20% by mass. In addition, the pickling treatment solution may contain a defoaming agent, a pickling accelerator, a pickling inhibitor, etc.

[0334] [Annealing process]

[0335] Next, in one embodiment of the present invention, after the pickling step (after the cold rolling step in the case of cold rolling, after the metal plating (first plating) step in the case of metal plating to form a metal plating layer (first plating layer), after the metal plating (first plating) step in the case of cold rolling and metal plating), the steel sheet obtained as above is annealed at a temperature of: (Ac 1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 The annealing is performed under the conditions of 100°C to 900°C and 20 seconds or more. The annealing may be performed twice or more, but preferably once from the viewpoint of energy efficiency.

[0336] Annealing temperature: (Ac 1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 )×3 / 4)℃ or more and 900℃ or less

[0337] Annealing temperature is lower than (Ac1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 )×3 / 4)℃, the formation ratio of austenite in the two-phase region of ferrite and austenite during heating becomes insufficient. Therefore, the area ratio of ferrite increases excessively after annealing, and YS decreases. In addition, the C concentration in austenite increases excessively during annealing, and the desired λ and S cannot be achieved. Fmax In addition, it is difficult to make TS 1180 MPa or more.

[0338] On the other hand, when the annealing temperature is higher than 900℃, excessive grain growth of austenite occurs and M S The annealing temperature is set to (Ac 1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 )×3 / 4)°C or higher and 900°C or lower. The annealing temperature is preferably 880°C or lower. The annealing temperature is more preferably 870°C or lower. In addition, the annealing temperature is preferably (Ac 1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 )×4 / 5)°C or more, more preferably (Ac 1 +(Ac 3 -Ac 1 )×5 / 6)℃ or above.

[0339] It should be noted that the annealing temperature is the highest temperature reached in the annealing process.

[0340] Ac 1 Point (℃) and Ac 3 The temperature (°C) is calculated by the following formula:

[0341] Ac 1 Point (℃) = 727.0-32.7×[%C]+14.9×[%Si]+2.0×[%Mn]

[0342] Ac 3 Point (℃) = 912.0-230×[%C]+31.6×[%Si]-20.4×[%Mn]

[0343] Here, [%C]: C content (mass %), [%Si]: Si content (mass %), and [%Mn]: Mn content (mass %).

[0344] Annealing time: more than 20 seconds

[0345] When the annealing time is less than 20 seconds, the formation ratio of austenite in the heating of the two-phase region of ferrite and austenite becomes insufficient. Therefore, the area ratio of ferrite increases excessively after annealing, and YS decreases. In addition, the C concentration in austenite increases excessively during annealing, and the desired λ and S cannot be achieved. Fmax . In addition, it is difficult to make TS above 1180 MPa. Therefore, the annealing time is set to be 20 seconds or more. The annealing time is preferably 30 seconds or more, and more preferably 50 seconds or more. It should be noted that there is no particular upper limit to the annealing time, but the annealing time is preferably set to be 900 seconds or less, and more preferably 800 seconds or less. The annealing time is further preferably set to be 300 seconds or less, and further more preferably 220 seconds or less.

[0346] It should be noted that the annealing time refers to the holding time in the temperature range of (annealing temperature - 40 ° C) or more and below the annealing temperature. That is, the annealing time includes not only the holding time at the annealing temperature, but also the residence time in the temperature range of (annealing temperature - 40 ° C) or more and below the annealing temperature during heating and cooling before and after reaching the annealing temperature.

[0347] Dew point of annealing atmosphere in annealing process: -30℃ or above

[0348] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dew point of the atmosphere (annealing atmosphere) in the annealing process is preferably set to -30°C. By setting the dew point of the annealing atmosphere in the annealing process to -30°C or higher for annealing, the decarburization reaction can be promoted, and a deeper surface soft layer can be formed. The dew point of the annealing atmosphere in the annealing process is more preferably -25°C or higher, further preferably -15°C or higher, and most preferably higher than -5°C.

[0349] The upper limit of the dew point of the annealing atmosphere in the annealing step is not particularly specified, but in order to appropriately prevent oxidation of the Fe-based electroplating layer surface and improve the coating adhesion when the zinc plating layer is provided, the dew point of the annealing atmosphere in the annealing step is preferably set to 30° C. or less.

[0350] [First Cooling Step]

[0351] Next, the steel sheet annealed as described above is cooled to a first cooling stop temperature of 100° C. to 300° C. inclusive.

[0352] First cooling stop temperature: 100°C or higher and 300°C or lower

[0353] The first cooling step is a necessary step for controlling the area ratio of tempered martensite and the volume ratio of retained austenite generated in the reheating step as a subsequent step within a specified range. Here, when the first cooling stop temperature is lower than 100°C, almost all of the untransformed austenite present in the steel is transformed into martensite in the first cooling step. As a result, the area ratio of the final tempered martensite increases excessively, making it difficult to obtain retained austenite with an area ratio of more than 3.0%, and the ductility decreases. On the other hand, when the second cooling stop temperature is higher than 300°C, the area ratio of tempered martensite decreases and the area ratio of fresh martensite increases. As a result, in the hole expansion test, VDA bending test, and V-VDA bending test, the fresh martensite becomes the starting point for void generation, and the desired λ, α, and S cannot be achieved. Fmax Therefore, the first cooling stop temperature is set to 100° C. or higher and 300° C. or lower. The first cooling stop temperature is preferably 120° C. or higher. In addition, the first cooling stop temperature is preferably 280° C. or lower.

[0354] [Maintaining process]

[0355] After the first cooling step, the steel sheet is held in a temperature range of 350° C. to 550° C. (hereinafter also referred to as a holding temperature range) for 3 seconds to less than 80 seconds.

[0356] Maintaining temperature range: above 350℃ and below 550℃

[0357] Keeping time within the temperature range: more than 3 seconds and less than 80 seconds

[0358] In the holding step, bainitic ferrite is generated, and diffusion of C from the generated bainitic ferrite to untransformed austenite adjacent to the bainitic ferrite occurs. As a result, a predetermined amount of area ratio of retained austenite can be ensured.

[0359] Here, when the holding temperature is lower than 350°C, the value obtained by dividing the area ratio of tempered martensite by the total area ratio of bainitic ferrite and tempered martensite cannot be within the desired range, and the desired α and S cannot be obtained. Fmax In addition, excellent shaft crushing characteristics cannot be obtained.

[0360] On the other hand, when the holding temperature is higher than 550°C, the area ratio of retained austenite is less than 3.0%, and the area ratio of fresh martensite is greater than 10.0%, and the desired ductility cannot be obtained, and the desired α and S cannot be obtained. Fmax In addition, excellent shaft crushing characteristics cannot be obtained.

[0361] Therefore, the holding temperature range is set to 350° C. or higher and 550° C. or lower. The holding temperature range is preferably 360° C. or higher, and more preferably 370° C. or higher. The holding temperature range is preferably 530° C. or lower, and more preferably 510° C. or lower.

[0362] On the other hand, when the holding time in the holding temperature range is less than 3 seconds, it is difficult to obtain 3.0% or more of retained austenite, and the ductility decreases.

[0363] On the other hand, when the holding time in the holding temperature range is 80 seconds or more, the area ratio of bainitic ferrite increases excessively, and YS decreases. In addition, excessive diffusion of C from bainitic ferrite to untransformed austenite occurs, and the area ratio of retained austenite exceeds 10.0%, and the desired S cannot be achieved. Fmax In addition, the desired λ may not be obtained in some cases.

[0364] Therefore, the holding time within the temperature range is set to be more than 3 seconds and less than 80 seconds. The holding time within the temperature range is preferably more than 5 seconds. In addition, the holding time within the temperature range is preferably less than 60 seconds. It should be noted that the holding time within the temperature range does not include the residence time within the temperature range after the hot-dip galvanizing process is performed in the coating process.

[0365] [Galvanizing step (second plating step)]

[0366] The steel sheet may be subjected to a galvanizing treatment after the holding step. By performing the galvanizing treatment, a galvanized steel sheet can be obtained. Examples of the galvanizing treatment include hot-dip galvanizing and alloy galvanizing.

[0367] In the case of hot-dip galvanizing, it is preferred to immerse the steel sheet in a galvanizing bath at 440°C or higher and 500°C or lower, and then adjust the coating adhesion by gas wiping or the like. The hot-dip galvanizing bath is not particularly limited as long as the composition of the zinc coating can be obtained. For example, it is preferred to use a galvanizing bath having an Al content of 0.10% by mass or higher and the balance consisting of Zn and unavoidable impurities. The Al content is preferably 0.23% by mass or lower.

[0368] In the case of galvannealing, it is preferred that the galvanized steel sheet be heated to an alloying temperature of 450° C. or higher after the hot-dip galvanizing treatment as described above. The alloying temperature is preferably set to 600° C. or lower.

[0369] When the alloying temperature is lower than 450°C, the Zn-Fe alloying speed slows down and alloying may become difficult. In addition, when the alloying temperature is lower than 450°C, the martensite generated in the first cooling step is not sufficiently tempered, and the area ratio of fresh martensite increases excessively, and the desired λ, α and S may not be achieved.Fmax On the other hand, when the alloying temperature is higher than 600°C, the untransformed austenite transforms to pearlite, making it difficult to make TS above 1180 MPa, and the ductility decreases. It should be noted that the alloying temperature is more preferably 510°C or higher. In addition, the alloying temperature is more preferably 570°C or lower.

[0370] In addition, the coating weight of hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (GI) and alloyed hot-dip galvannealed steel sheet (GA) is preferably set to 20 g / m per single side. 2 In addition, the coating weight per single side of the zinc coating is preferably set to 80 g / m 2 It should be noted that the coating adhesion amount can be adjusted by gas wiping or the like.

[0371] [Second Cooling Step]

[0372] Next, the steel sheet after the holding step is cooled to a second cooling stop temperature of 50° C. or less.

[0373] When the steel sheet is cooled to the second cooling stop temperature of 50°C or less, a pressure of 2.0 kgf / mm2 is applied at least once in the temperature range of 300°C to 450°C. 2 Then, the steel sheet to which the tension is applied is subjected to treatment of applying 4 or more passes while making the steel sheet contact a roll having a diameter of 500 mm or more and 1500 mm or less for 1 / 4 of the roll's revolution in each pass, and the steel sheet is subjected to treatment of applying 2 or more passes while making the steel sheet contact a roll having a diameter of 500 mm or more and 1500 mm or less for 1 / 2 of the roll's revolution in each pass.

[0374] As described above, by applying 2.0 kgf / mm 2 With the above tension and the specified number of passes, the retained austenite excessively generated in the steel sheet structure undergoes a work-induced transformation to martensite, which then transforms into tempered martensite during subsequent cooling. As a result, the desired λ and S can be achieved. Fmax .

[0375] The number of passes applied to the steel sheet while contacting the roll for 1 / 4 of its rotation is preferably 5 or more, more preferably 6 or more.

[0376] The upper limit is not particularly limited, but the number of passes applied to the steel sheet while contacting the roll for 1 / 4 of the roll is preferably 12 passes or less, more preferably 10 passes or less.

[0377] The number of passes applied to the steel sheet while the contact roll performs 1 / 2 of the rotation is preferably 3 or more, more preferably 4 or more.

[0378] The upper limit is not particularly limited, but the number of passes applied to the steel sheet while the contact roll is 1 / 2 of the rotation is preferably 6 or less, more preferably 5 or less.

[0379] Here, the tension is calculated by dividing the total value of the load (kgf) of the load cells on the left and right sides of the roll by the cross-sectional area of ​​the steel plate (=plate thickness (mm) × plate width (mm)) (mm 2 It should be noted that the force sensor needs to be arranged parallel to the tension direction.

[0380] Here, the configuration position of the load cell is preferably set at a position 200 mm away from both ends of the roller. In addition, the roller body length of the roller used is preferably set to be more than 1500 mm. In addition, the roller body length of the roller used is preferably set to be less than 2500 mm.

[0381] In addition, the tension is preferably 2.2 kgf / mm 2 More preferably 2.4 kgf / mm 2 above.

[0382] In addition, the tension is preferably 15.0 kgf / mm 2 Below, more preferably 10.0kgf / mm 2 The tension is more preferably 7.0 kgf / mm 2 Below, more preferably 4.0 kgf / mm 2 the following.

[0383] In addition, applying tension once or more, for example, applying tension twice means first applying 2.0 kgf / mm 2 Then, the tension becomes less than 2.0kgf / mm 2 After that, apply the second 2.0kgf / mm 2 In addition, applying tension three times means that first, 2.0 kgf / mm is applied once. 2 Then, the tension becomes less than 2.0kgf / mm 2 After that, apply the second 2.0kgf / mm 2 Then, the tension becomes less than 2.0kgf / mm 2 Then, apply 2.0kgf / mm for the third time 2 More tension.

[0384] Second cooling stop temperature: 50°C or below

[0385] The cooling conditions of the second cooling step are not particularly limited, and any conventional method may be used. For example, gas jet cooling, spray cooling, roll cooling, water cooling, and air cooling may be used.

[0386] In addition, from the viewpoint of preventing surface oxidation, it is preferably cooled to 50°C or less, and more preferably cooled to room temperature. The average cooling rate is, for example, preferably 1°C / second or more and 50°C / second or less. Here, the average cooling rate can be calculated by "(cooling start temperature (°C) - second cooling stop temperature (°C)" / cooling time (s)".

[0387] In addition, the steel plate obtained as above may be further subjected to temper rolling. When the reduction rate of temper rolling is greater than 2.00%, the yield stress may increase, and the dimensional accuracy when the steel plate is formed into a component may decrease. Therefore, the reduction rate of temper rolling is preferably less than 2.00%. It should be noted that there is no particular restriction on the lower limit of the reduction rate of temper rolling, but from the perspective of productivity, it is preferably greater than 0.05%. In addition, temper rolling can be performed on a device that is continuous with the annealing device used to perform the above-mentioned processes (online), or on a device that is discontinuous with the annealing device used to perform the various processes (offline). In addition, the number of temper rolling passes may be 1 time or more than 2 times. It should be noted that as long as the same elongation as temper rolling can be imparted, rolling using a leveler or the like may also be performed.

[0388] There are no particular limitations on the conditions other than those described above, and conventional methods may be followed.

[0389] [3.Component]

[0390] Next, components according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0391] A component according to one embodiment of the present invention is a component (as a raw material) formed using the above-mentioned steel plate. For example, the component is manufactured by subjecting the steel plate as a raw material to at least one of a forming process and a joining process.

[0392] Here, the steel sheet has a TS of 1180 MPa or more and has high YS, excellent press formability (ductility, hole expandability, and bendability), and fracture resistance during crushing (bending fracture characteristics and axial crushing characteristics). Therefore, the component according to one embodiment of the present invention has high strength and excellent impact resistance. Therefore, the component according to one embodiment of the present invention is particularly suitable for use in impact energy absorbing components used in the automotive field.

[0393] [4. Method for manufacturing component]

[0394] Next, a method for manufacturing a member according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0395] A method for manufacturing a component according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the step of performing at least one of forming and joining on the steel plate (for example, the steel plate manufactured by the method for manufacturing a steel plate) to manufacture the component.

[0396] Here, there is no particular limitation on the forming method, and general processing methods such as stamping can be used. In addition, there is no particular limitation on the joining method, and general welding such as spot welding, laser welding, arc welding, riveting, and caulking can be used. It should be noted that there is no particular limitation on the forming conditions and joining conditions, and conventional methods can be used.

[0397] Example

[0398] A steel material having the component composition shown in Table 1 (the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities) was melted in a converter and formed into a steel slab by a continuous casting method. In Table 1, - indicates the content of the inevitable impurity level.

[0399] The calculated phase transition points Ac shown in Table 1 1 Point (℃) and Ac 3 The temperature (°C) is calculated by the following formula:

[0400] Ac 1 Point (℃) = 727.0-32.7×[%C]+14.9×[%Si]+2.0×[%Mn]

[0401] Ac 3 Point (℃) = 912.0-230×[%C]+31.6×[%Si]-20.4×[%Mn]

[0402] Here, [%C]: C content (mass %), [%Si]: Si content (mass %), and [%Mn]: Mn content (mass %).

[0403] The obtained steel slabs were heated to 1200°C, and after heating, the steel slabs were subjected to hot rolling including rough rolling and finishing rolling at a finishing rolling temperature of 900°C to produce hot-rolled steel sheets. Next, the obtained hot-rolled steel sheets No. 1 to No. 57, No. 60 to No. 74, No. 80 to No. 93, and No. 100 to No. 105 were pickled and cold rolled (reduction ratio: 50%) to produce cold-rolled steel sheets having the plate thicknesses shown in Tables 3, 6, and 9. In addition, the obtained hot-rolled steel sheets No. 58 to No. 59, No. 75 to No. 79, and No. 95 to 99 were pickled to produce hot-rolled steel sheets (white skin) having the plate thicknesses shown in Tables 3, 6, and 9. Next, the obtained cold-rolled steel sheet or hot-rolled steel sheet (white skin) is subjected to an annealing process, a first cooling process, a holding process, a plating process, a second cooling process and a reheating process under the conditions shown in Table 2. In addition, the first plating process (metal plating process), annealing process, a first cooling process, a holding process, a second plating process (galvanizing process), a second cooling process and a reheating process are subjected to the treatments shown in Tables 5 and 8 to obtain a steel sheet (galvanized steel sheet).

[0404] It should be noted that the presence or absence of the first plating step (metal plating step) and the type of plating when the treatment in the metal plating step is performed for the steel sheets No. 60 to No. 105 are shown in Tables 5 and 8. The thickness of the surface soft layer, the amount of metal plating, and the hardness distribution of the surface soft layer of the steel sheets No. 60 to No. 105 are shown in Tables 6 and 9.

[0405] Here, hot-dip galvanizing or alloyed galvanizing is performed in the galvanizing process to obtain a hot-dip galvanized steel sheet (hereinafter also referred to as GI) or an alloyed galvanized steel sheet (hereinafter also referred to as GA). It should be noted that in Tables 2, 5, and 8, the types of plating processes are also expressed as "GI" and "GA". In Tables 2 and 5, in the case of GI steel sheets, since no alloying treatment is performed, the alloying temperature is expressed as -. In addition, in Table 8, for the case where a cold-rolled steel sheet is obtained without performing a galvanizing treatment using the galvanizing process, it is expressed as "CR", and for the case where a hot-rolled steel sheet is obtained without performing a galvanizing treatment using the galvanizing process, it is expressed as "HR". Since no alloying treatment is performed on these cold-rolled steel sheets and hot-rolled steel sheets, the alloying temperature is expressed as -.

[0406] The galvanizing bath temperature was set to 470° C. in the case of producing either GI or GA.

[0407] Regarding the zinc coating adhesion, when manufacturing GI, it is set to 45 to 72 g / m per side. 2 When manufacturing GA, it is set to 45g / m per side. 2 .

[0408] It should be noted that the composition of the zinc coating of the galvanized steel sheet finally obtained is that GI contains Fe: 0.1-1.0 mass%, Al: 0.2-0.33 mass%, and the balance is Zn and inevitable impurities. In addition, GA contains Fe: 8.0-12.0 mass%, Al: 0.1-0.23 mass%, and the balance is Zn and inevitable impurities.

[0409] In addition, the zinc plating layer is formed on both surfaces of the base steel sheet.

[0410] In Table 2, Table 5, and Table 8, Pass 1 is to apply 2.0 kgf / mm2 at least once in the temperature range of 300°C to 450°C during the second cooling process. 2 After the above average tension, the number of passes is given while making the steel plate contact with the roll with a diameter of 500mm to 1500mm for 1 / 4 of the roll per pass, and the number of passes 2 is the number of passes given while making the steel plate contact with the roll with a diameter of 500mm to 1500mm for 1 / 2 of the roll per pass.

[0411] The obtained steel plate was used to identify the steel structure of the base steel plate according to the above-mentioned points. The measurement results are shown in Table 3, Table 6, and Table 9. In Table 3, Table 6, and Table 9, F is ferrite, BF is bainitic ferrite, TM is tempered martensite, RA is retained austenite, FM is fresh martensite, LB is lower bainite, P is pearlite, and θ is carbide. M is the mean free path of the center of gravity of the carbide, σ C is the mean value of the standard deviation of the intervals of the carbides.

[0412] In Table 4, Table 7, and Table 10, 1 is the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase among all voids in the overlapping area of ​​the V-curved ridgeline and the VDA-curved ridgeline (the number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed by the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids, 2 is the value obtained by dividing the number of voids in contact with the hard phase among all the voids in the overlapping area of ​​the V-bend flat portion and the VDA-bend ridge portion (the number of voids at the boundary between the hard phase and the soft phase and the number of voids formed by the destruction of the hard phase) by the total number of voids.

[0413] The method for measuring the surface soft layer is as follows. The thickness section (L section) of the steel plate parallel to the rolling direction is smoothed by wet grinding, and then based on JIS Z 2244-1 (2020), a Vickers hardness tester is used to measure at a load of 10 gf from a position 1 μm from the surface of the steel plate in the thickness direction to a position 100 μm in the thickness direction at 1 μm intervals. Then, the measurement is performed at 20 μm intervals until the center of the plate thickness. The area where the hardness is reduced to less than 85% compared to the hardness at the 1 / 4 position of the plate thickness is defined as a soft layer (surface soft layer), and the thickness in the thickness direction of the area is defined as the thickness of the soft layer.

[0414] In addition, a tensile test, a hole expansion test, a VDA bending test, a V-VDA bending test, and an axial crush test were performed according to the following points, and the tensile strength (TS), yield stress (YS), total elongation (El), limit hole expansion ratio (λ), limit bending angle in the VDA bending test (α), stroke at maximum load in the V-VDA bending test (S Fmax ) and whether the shaft is crushed or fractured.

[0446] (1) Tensile test

[0447] The tensile test was performed based on JIS Z 2241 (2011). That is, a JIS No. 5 test piece was cut from the obtained steel plate so that the length direction was at right angles to the rolling direction of the base steel plate. The tensile test was performed using the cut test piece under the condition of a crosshead speed of 10 mm / min to measure TS, YS and E1. The results are shown in Table 4, Table 7, and Table 10.

[0448] (2) Hole expansion test

[0449] The hole expansion test is carried out based on JIS Z 2256 (2020). That is, a test piece of 100 mm × 100 mm is cut from the obtained steel plate by shearing. For the test piece, the gap is set to 12.5% ​​and a hole with a diameter of 10 mm is punched out. Next, a die with an inner diameter of 75 mm is used to apply an anti-wrinkle force of 9 tons (88.26 kN) around the hole, and a conical punch with a vertex angle of 60° is pressed into the hole to measure the diameter of the hole of the test piece at the crack generation limit (when cracks occur). Then, the limiting hole expansion rate is calculated by the following formula: λ (%). It should be noted that λ is an indicator for evaluating stretch flangeability. The results are shown in Tables 4, 7, and 10.

[0450] λ(%)={(D f -D 0 ) / D 0}×100

[0451] Here,

[0452] D f : The diameter of the hole of the test piece when cracks occurred (mm),

[0453] D 0 : The initial diameter of the hole of the test piece (mm).

[0454] (3) VDA bending test

[0455] The VDA bending test is performed by a bending test in accordance with the VDA standard (VDA238-100) prescribed by the German Association of the Automotive Industry.

[0456] Specifically, a test piece of 70 mm×60 mm was cut out from the obtained steel plate by shearing, wherein the side of 60 mm was parallel to the rolling (L) direction.

[0457] The test piece was subjected to a VDA bending test under the following conditions.

[0458] Test method: Roller support, punch press

[0459] Roller diameter: φ30mm

[0460] Punch tip R: 0.4mm

[0461] Distance between rollers: (plate thickness × 2) + 0.5 mm

[0462] Stroke speed: 20mm / min

[0463] Bending direction: rolling right angle (C) direction

[0464] At this time, the angle of the outer side of the bending of the central part of the plate-shaped test piece when the load F applied from the bending fixture from above reaches the maximum is measured as the limit bending angle (°). The average value of the limit bending angle when the load is the maximum when the above VDA bending test is performed three times is set as α (°). The results are shown in Table 4, Table 7, and Table 10.

[0465] (4) V-VDA bending test (V bending + orthogonal VDA bending test)

[0466] The V-VDA bend test was performed as follows.

[0467] A 60 mm x 65 mm test piece was cut from the obtained steel plate by shearing. Here, the 60 mm side is parallel to the rolling (L) direction. The test piece was prepared by bending 90° (primary bending) in the rolling (L) direction with a curvature radius / plate thickness of 4.2 and with the width (C) direction as the axis. In the 90° bending (primary bending), if Figure 2-1 As shown in (a), a punch B1 is pressed into a steel plate placed on a die A1 having a V-shaped groove to obtain a test piece T1. Figure 2-1 As shown in (b), the test piece T1 placed on the support roll A2 is subjected to orthogonal bending (secondary bending) by pressing the punch B2 into the test piece so that the bending direction is at right angles to the rolling direction. Figure 2-1 (a) and Figure 2-1 In (b), symbol D1 indicates the width (C) direction, and symbol D2 indicates the rolling (L) direction.

[0468] The conditions of the V-bend in the V-VDA bend test (V-bend + orthogonal VDA bend test) are as follows.

[0469] Test method: Die support, punch press

[0470] Forming load: 10t

[0471] Test speed: 30mm / min

[0472] Hold time: 5s

[0473] Bending direction: rolling (L) direction

[0474] The conditions of VDA bending in the V-VDA bending test are as follows.

[0475] Test method: Roller support, punch press

[0476] Roller diameter: φ30mm

[0477] Punch tip R: 0.4mm

[0478] Distance between rollers: (plate thickness × 2) + 0.5 mm

[0479] Stroke speed: 20mm / min

[0480] Test piece size: 60mm×60mm

[0481] Bending direction: rolling right angle (C) direction

[0482] The stroke at the maximum load was obtained from the stroke-load curve obtained when the VDA bending test was performed. The average value of the stroke at the maximum load when the V-VDA bending test was performed three times was taken as S Fmax The results are shown in Tables 4, 7 and 10.

[0483] (5) Shaft crush test

[0484] A 160 mm x 200 mm test piece was cut from the obtained steel plate by shearing. Here, the 160 mm side was parallel to the rolling (L) direction. A die with a punch shoulder radius of 5.0 mm and a die shoulder radius of 5.0 mm was used to perform forming (bending) to a depth of 40 mm to produce Figure 5-1 (a) and Figure 5-1 (b) The hat-shaped member 10 shown in FIG. 1 is a hat-shaped member 10. In addition, the steel plate used as the raw material of the hat-shaped member is cut into a size of 80 mm × 200 mm. Then, the cut steel plate 20 and the hat-shaped member 10 are spot welded to produce a hat-shaped member 10 as shown in FIG. Figure 5-1 (a) and Figure 5-1 (b) is a test member 30 shown. Figure 5-1 (a) is a front view of a test member 30 produced by spot welding a hat-shaped member 10 and a steel plate 20 . Figure 5-1 (b) is a perspective view of the test component 30. The position of the spot weld 40 is as follows: Figure 5-1 As shown in (b), the ends of the steel plates are arranged so that the interval between the ends and the welded portions is 10 mm and the interval between the welded portions is 45 mm. Figure 5-2 As shown in (c), the test member 30 and the bottom plate 50 are joined by TIG welding to produce a shaft crush test sample. Then, the impactor 60 is made to collide with the produced shaft crush test sample at a constant speed of 10 mm / min, and the shaft crush test sample is crushed by 70 mm. Figure 5-2 As shown in (c), the crushing direction D3 is set to be parallel to the longitudinal direction of the test member 30.

[0485] The crushed samples were evaluated according to the above-mentioned points. The results are shown in Tables 4, 7 and 10.

[0486] In the VDA bending test, V-VDA bending test and shaft crushing test of steel plates with a thickness greater than 1.2 mm, all tests were conducted using steel plates with a thickness of 1.2 mm, taking into account the influence of the plate thickness. Steel plates with a thickness greater than 1.2 mm were ground on one side to a thickness of 1.2 mm. Since the bending property of the steel plate surface may be affected by the grinding process, the ground surface was set to the inner side of the bend (the side in contact with the punch) in the VDA bending test, and the ground surface was set to the outer side of the bend (the side in contact with the die) in the V-VDA bending test, and then the ground surface was set to the inner side of the bend (the side in contact with the punch) in the VDA bending test.

[0487] On the other hand, in the VDA bending test, V-VDA bending test, and shaft crushing test of a steel plate having a plate thickness of 1.2 mm or less, the test was performed without performing a grinding process because the influence of the plate thickness was small.

[0488] <Nanohardness measurement>

[0489] In order to obtain excellent bendability during stamping and excellent bending fracture characteristics during collision, it is more preferred to measure the nanohardness of more than 300 points in the 50μm×50μm area of ​​the plate surface at each position of 1 / 4 position in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer and 1 / 2 position in the plate thickness direction from the base surface layer, and the number of measurements of the plate surface with a nanohardness of 7.0GPa or more at the position of 1 / 4 position in the plate thickness direction of the surface soft layer from the base steel plate surface is less than 0.10 relative to the total number of measurements at the position of 1 / 4 position in the plate thickness direction. When the ratio of nanohardness of 7.0GPa or more is less than 0.10, it means that the ratio of hard structures (martensite, etc.), inclusions, etc. is small, so the generation, connection and expansion of cracks of hard structures (martensite, etc.) and inclusions during stamping and collision can be further suppressed, and excellent R / t and S Fmax .

[0490] In the case of galvanizing, after stripping the coating, mechanical grinding is performed to 1 / 4 position -5 μm from the base steel plate surface in the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer, diamond and alumina polishing is performed to 1 / 4 position from the base steel plate surface in the plate thickness direction depth of the surface soft layer, and then colloidal silica grinding is performed. Hysitron's tribo-950 is used, and a berkovich-shaped diamond indenter is used to measure the nanohardness of a total of 512 points under the conditions of load: 500 μN, measurement area: 50 μm×50 μm, and dot interval: 2 μm.

[0491] The peeled-off plating layer refers to the zinc plating when the zinc plating layer is formed, refers to the metal plating when the metal plating layer is formed, and refers to the zinc plating and the metal plating when the zinc plating and the metal plating are formed.

[0492] Next, mechanical grinding, polishing with diamond and alumina, and colloidal silica grinding were performed until the depth of the surface soft layer in the thickness direction was 1 / 2. Hysitron's tribo-950 was used, and a berkovich-shaped diamond indenter was used to measure the nanohardness of a total of 512 points under the conditions of load: 500 μN, measurement area: 50 μm×50 μm, and dot interval: 2 μm.
