Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of high-strength steel materials, and in particular to a low-yield ratio complex phase steel and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The booming new energy vehicle industry has led the direction of automobile development and provided strong support for the low-carbon transformation of the automobile industry. Compared with traditional fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles pay more attention to cruising range, safety and service life, and due to the increase in battery packs, they are usually heavier than fuel vehicles of the same level. Taking a compact SUV as an example, a fuel vehicle weighs about 1.4 tons, while a new energy electric vehicle weighs more than 1.7 tons; the weight of the best-selling electric vehicles on the market is mainly concentrated in 2.2~2.4 tons, which is 300~500 kg heavier than the fuel vehicles of the same specifications, so the demand for lightweight is stronger. Compared with aluminum alloys, carbon fiber and other materials, high-strength steel materials have the characteristics of high strength, light weight, manufacturing process, high cost performance and good processability, as well as taking into account safety and low-carbon environmental protection. It is an important material used in the manufacture of new energy vehicles.

[0003] Steel manufacturing companies are also actively promoting low-carbon transformation and are committed to reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions in the material manufacturing process to improve the environmental friendliness of materials. In recent years, some researchers have proposed the concept of material elementalization, the manufacturing concept of one steel for multiple uses, and the design and manufacturing ideas of low-entropy advanced high-strength steel products, all of which are aimed at achieving the goals of green, environmental protection, and energy saving in material manufacturing.

[0004] However, the multi-purpose, multi-specification and small-batch ordering characteristics of low-yield ratio complex phase steels at the 1.0GPa level and above bring many inconveniences to steel enterprises in actual production organization, mainly manifested in the high rate of mixed casting downgrading and re-judgment, and the frequent transition of different steel grades and specifications, resulting in poor product quality stability. Therefore, exploring the preparation method of low-yield ratio complex phase steels with low cost, economy, diversified user needs and stable quality can solve many problems in the actual industrial production of low-yield ratio complex phase steels, such as high alloy cost, multiple categories of uses, multiple mixed casting batches, and multiple product specifications, and has become a technical problem that technicians in this field need to solve urgently.

[0006] CN117418165A provides a 1000MPa grade Zr-containing complex phase steel and a preparation method thereof, wherein the tensile strength is above 1000MPa and the thickness of the steel plate is 2.0 to 10.0mm; CN116219303A provides a 980MPa grade hot-dip galvanized low yield ratio complex phase steel and its preparation method, with a yield strength of 800-860MPa, a tensile strength of 1000-1100MPa, an elongation value of 13.5-18.0%, and a hole expansion rate of 65-85%.
