Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of materials and metallurgy, and more specifically, to a multi-functional GPa-grade cold-rolled automobile steel plate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of the automobile industry, under the environmental trend of low carbon and low energy consumption, high safety, low cost and lightweight have become the most concerned direction of major automobile manufacturers. Relevant research shows that for every 10% reduction in the weight of the whole vehicle, the fuel efficiency can be improved by 6% to 8%; for every 100kg reduction in the curb weight of the vehicle, the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers can be reduced by 0.3 to 0.6L; for every 100kg reduction in the vehicle weight, the carbon dioxide emissions can be reduced by about 5g / km, and the emissions of pollutants such as nitrides and sulfides will also be reduced accordingly. In addition, a 10% reduction in curb weight can reduce the braking distance by 5% and the steering force by 6%, thereby significantly improving the active safety of the vehicle. Therefore, the use of lightweight materials has become a consensus among major automobile companies. High-strength steel for automobiles can not only improve the strength of body parts, but also has the advantage of being recyclable. Compared with other materials such as carbon fiber, its comprehensive cost is significantly lower.

[0003] As a typical representative of high-strength steel for automobiles, Jipa steel is mainly used in structural parts and safety parts of automobile bodies. In recent years, the output of Jipa steel has gradually increased and has been widely promoted and applied. At present, Jipa steel includes dual-phase steel DP, complex-phase steel CP, quenching and partitioning steel QP, martensitic steel MS, phase transformation induced plasticity steel TRIP and its derivatives. Its tensile strength exceeds 980MPa, and the strength level is still increasing, which provides strong support for the low-carbon development of the automobile industry, and the market demand is also increasing year by year. Most of Jipa steel products contain martensite, among which dual-phase steel has good forming properties and is mainly composed of martensite and ferrite. With the increase of strength, the proportion of martensite gradually increases; quenching and partitioning steel significantly improves the plasticity of steel by introducing residual austenite, and its structure is martensite + residual austenite, or martensite + residual austenite + a small amount of ferrite; while martensitic steel is mainly composed of martensite structure, and relatively simple parts are usually processed by roll forming.

[0004] In recent years, some people have proposed that in the process of steel production, the same chemical composition of the billet is used, and it undergoes a forming process with different deformation temperatures, different deformation degrees, and different deformation paths, and then different heat treatment temperatures, holding times, and cooling methods are used to obtain a variety of different material properties, so that it can be applied to different load conditions and achieve "one steel with multiple functions". The concept of one steel with multiple functions has moved the differentiation point of steel products to the steelmaking process, simplified the smelting operation process, and provided new ideas for steel grade development. Considering that the GIP steel for automobiles mainly obtains the required structure and properties through phase transformation strengthening, especially martensite as the main hard phase, it can significantly improve the strength of steel. Both the dual-phase steel and quenching and partitioning steel in GIP steel contain a large amount of martensite, while martensitic steel has the organizational characteristics of full martensite. If we can reasonably apply the design concept of "one steel with multiple functions" and combine it with the flexible control technology of organizational properties, and use the continuous annealing process to adjust the GIP steel to meet different organizational and performance requirements while ensuring the required content of martensite and without increasing the investment in production line equipment, it will be convenient for automobile users to meet the needs of processing and forming different parts, and can also greatly reduce the production costs of steel companies.

[0005] In the existing patents of high-strength steel for automobiles with multiple uses or multiple grades of steel, only the production and preparation methods of a single type of steel are described and explained, and most of them use the addition of a large amount of alloy elements such as Mn, Cr, Mo, and Nb, which results in high alloy costs. In addition, there are few patents for high-strength steel produced by cold rolling using multiple uses or multiple grades of steel, and they are also limited to a certain type of steel. One component is used to achieve different strengths of the same steel. Although this can achieve the development of multiple grades of one steel, it wastes alloy costs for mature low-strength products, increases the difficulty of process production for high-strength products, and makes it difficult to ensure the control accuracy of batch production, which is not conducive to industrial production applications and market promotion; hot rolling production lines need to have ultra-fast cooling equipment to produce high-strength steel or even ultra-high-strength steel, but the processes of most ordinary hot rolling production lines can only meet the production of different grades of low-strength products, and it is difficult to meet industrial production without equipment modification or increased equipment investment.

[0006] Publication number CN114959478A discloses a multi-purpose 800MPa grade complex phase steel and its control method, but does not achieve the transition of different steel grades or strength levels. Publication number CN106929758A discloses a multi-grade cold-rolled low-alloy high-strength steel strip and its production method. Through Nb micro-alloying, only three low-alloy high-strength steels are obtained with one component, and the yield strength is at a relatively low strength level of 420 to 500MPa. Publication number CN109355573A discloses a multi-grade hot-rolled steel plate based on carbon distribution technology and its manufacturing method. The Si content is high, and the surface quality of the product is difficult to control. After the air cooling section and the ultra-fast cooling section, it is cooled to between 320 and 540°C and then coiled. Conventional hot rolling production lines need to add additional ultra-fast cooling equipment, which is limited to production lines with extremely high stable control capabilities. Publication No. CN116219282AA discloses a one-steel multi-grade cold-rolled ultra-high-strength strip steel and its preparation method. Its composition design has jumped from low-carbon steel to medium-carbon steel, and it is not "one steel". The content range of important strengthening elements Mn, Cr, Nb and Als that affects casting is too wide, which does not conform to the concept of "one steel multi-grade" or "one steel multi-purpose". Publication No. CN114086065AA discloses a one-steel multi-grade multi-specification beam steel and its production method. The Nb and Ti content is high, the alloy cost is high, and it is limited to hot rolling production. Its tensile strength is less than 780MPa, and for low-strength 500L grade products, it wastes and increases the alloy cost, and for high-strength 700L grade products, it increases the difficulty of production. Publication No. CN117701992A5198173AA discloses a one-steel multi-stage cold-rolled continuous annealing quenching partitioning steel and a production method thereof, wherein the C, Mn, Si, Nb, and Ti contents are relatively high, the strip structure is ferrite + martensite + bainite + residual austenite, the yield strength is Rp0.2: 500-800MPa, the tensile strength is ≥980MPa, the elongation after fracture A50 is ≥18%, and the final tensile strength does not change much, all of which belong to the QP980 grade product, and the "one steel multi-grade" concept is not truly realized. The yield strength can be controlled based on process adjustment. The use of such a wide composition is not conducive to batch and stable production, and industrial production is extremely difficult. Publication No. CN118497615AA discloses a 980MPa grade multi-phase steel plate with multiple uses and its production method. The amount of Mn, Mo, and Nb elements added is relatively large, and the alloy cost is high. The multiple uses of one steel are limited to the same type and same level of 980MPa grade multi-phase steel. Publication No. CN118272736AA discloses a multi-stage cold-rolled continuous annealing enhanced formability dual-phase steel and its production method. The content range of important strengthening elements Mn, Si, Cr, and Nb is too wide, and the composition design itself exceeds the steel type and strength level. It does not conform to the concept of "one steel with multiple levels" or "one steel with multiple uses", and it is difficult to achieve stable industrial mass production.Publication number CN108517468AA discloses an economical cold-rolled dual-phase steel with multiple grades and a production method thereof. The composition is limited to cold-rolled dual-phase steel below 780MPa strength level. For low-strength dual-phase steel, the C and Mn alloy content is higher than that of ordinary 490MPa and 590MPa dual-phase steels, which is not conducive to reducing production costs. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, to provide a multi-functional GPa-grade cold-rolled automobile steel plate and a preparation method thereof, in view of the personalized product demand characteristics of GPa-grade cold-rolled automobile steel and the problems of different alloy designs of different steel grades in the prior art, which make it difficult to make steel and continuously cast, and the high production cost, the present invention combines the common characteristics of three types of steel, studies the chemical composition and production process, and designs a reasonable, economical, and low-cost composition and effectively controls the key process parameters of each process section, so as to realize the use of a component system, hot rolling and cold rolling process design, and realize the development of 980MPa-grade cold-rolled dual-phase steel DP980, 980MPa-grade cold-rolled quenching and partitioning steel QP980 and 1180MPa-grade cold-rolled martensitic steel MS1180 through different continuous annealing process systems, and the tensile strength of all of them exceeds 1000MPa, meeting the design and development requirements of GPa steel. In addition, the present invention improves the utilization rate of billets and coils in the steel production process, solves the problem of destocking three types of GIP steel continuous casting billets, hot-rolled coils and cold-rolled coils, greatly reduces the high cost problem caused by the need to increase single-furnace smelting and independent casting production for small batch order contracts, and is beneficial for enterprises to reduce production costs.

[0011] In the smelting and continuous casting process, converter smelting, LF refining and RH refining are sequentially adopted, and then slabs with a thickness of 230-233 mm are prepared by continuous casting;

[0012] In the hot rolling process, the slab is heated, rough rolled, finish rolled, laminar cooled and coiled to obtain a hot rolled steel coil;

[0013] In the cold rolling process, the hot rolled steel coil is pickled and then cold rolled to a target thickness of 1.0 to 2.0 mm;

[0014] In the annealing step, the cold-rolled steel material is continuously annealed to obtain the GPa-grade cold-rolled automobile steel sheet.

[0015] Implementing the embodiments of the present invention will have the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 2. Compared with similar products in the prior art, the present invention adopts a low alloy cost design and does not add precious alloy elements such as Mo and Nb. By controlling the addition amount and reasonable proportion of important alloy elements such as C, Mn, Cr, the production cost is not high, which meets the requirements of green environmental protection, energy conservation and emission reduction. The tensile strength of the manufactured product exceeds 1000MPa.

[0018] 3. The chemical composition and heat treatment process of the steel plate designed by the present invention are feasible for production in conventional steel production lines, provided that the requirements of organization and performance are met, without the need for additional investment and equipment transformation and upgrading.
