Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metal materials, and more particularly relates to a high-strength and high-toughness steel plate and a preparation method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of automobile material technology, the composition of modern automobile manufacturing materials is also changing. Taking modern car materials as an example, according to the weight conversion, steel accounts for 55-60% of the self-weight of the automobile. The application of steel in automobile parts is relatively extensive, such as automobile body, chassis, suspension, steering and other parts, which will continue to grow.

[0003] The application advantages of steel in automobile parts mainly reflect in two aspects: (1) the use of high-strength steel plate can achieve the purpose of reducing the thickness and weight of the body plate, while lightening, the safety performance is increased. (2) Steel has a lower yield ratio, better strain distribution ability and higher strain hardening characteristics, and the mechanical properties of high-strength steel plate are more uniform, thereby having better crash characteristics and higher fatigue life.

[0004] Since most of the automobile materials are still dominated by steel, with the increasing requirements of the automobile industry for energy saving and collision safety, automobile steel is developing towards high strength and light weight. Therefore, the development of high-strength and light-weight automobile steel plate has become an important task in the metallurgical industry.

[0005] As a key load-bearing component, the automobile bottom plate needs to have high strength, high toughness, good formability and corrosion resistance at the same time. The automobile bottom plate steel on the market has the following shortcomings: Poor matching of strength and toughness: traditional high-strength steel often leads to a decrease in toughness while improving strength, and the elongation is generally lower than 15%, which is difficult to meet the requirements of complex forming and collision energy absorption; Insufficient corrosion resistance: the surface corrosion resistance of conventional pickling steel plate is poor, and rusting easily occurs in a humid environment, affecting the service life; Process limitations: existing ultra-high-strength steel relies on a complex alloy system or special production equipment, resulting in high cost and difficult large-scale application.

[0006] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a pickling steel plate for automobile bottom plate with high strength, high toughness, excellent corrosion resistance and controllable cost. SUMMARY

[0007] The purpose of the present application is to provide a high-strength and high-toughness steel plate and a preparation method, which realizes the synergistic improvement of strength and toughness by optimizing the alloy composition and process parameters.

[0008] The purpose of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A high-strength and high-toughness steel plate comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: C: 0.12-0.16%; Si: 0.8-1.5%; Mn: 1.5-2.5%; Nb: 0.02-0.05%; Ti: 0.01-0.03%; Mo: 0.05-0.1%; Al: 0.02-0.06%; Cr: 0.3-0.8%; B: 0.0035-0.005%; P≤0.02%; S≤0.01%; the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0009] In the technical solution of the present application, carbon (C) is a basic element for improving the strength of the steel, which enhances the strength of the matrix by solid solution strengthening and forming hard phases such as carbides and martensite.

[0010] Silicon (Si) is a strong solid solution strengthening element, which can improve the yield strength and tensile strength of the steel. At the same time, silicon can inhibit the precipitation of carbides in the steel, which is beneficial to the formation of fine ferrite and bainite structure during hot rolling and cooling, and promotes the stable existence of residual austenite, thereby improving the strength and toughness.

[0011] Manganese (Mn) is an important alloying element in steel, which has a solid solution strengthening effect and can significantly improve the hardenability of the steel, promoting the formation of martensite or bainite structure, thereby improving the strength. Manganese can also form MnS with sulfur, reducing the harmful effects of sulfur.

[0012] Niobium (Nb) and titanium (Ti) are micro-alloying elements that form carbonitrides in steel, which play a role in grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. Niobium can significantly inhibit austenite grain growth and recrystallization, thereby obtaining fine ferrite grains after hot rolling, improving strength and toughness. Titanium can form TiN, fixing nitrogen in the steel, and preventing grain coarsening during heating. The present application adds trace amounts of niobium and titanium to achieve grain refinement and precipitation strengthening during hot rolling, further improving the strength of the steel without significantly reducing the toughness.

[0013] Molybdenum (Mo) is a strong carbide-forming element, and the addition of molybdenum helps to form fine carbide precipitation strengthening during coiling and improve the strength and toughness of the steel; it can maintain high strength at higher temperature tempering and prevent second type temper brittleness; it can refine the grain and improve the hardenability and tempering stability of the steel.

[0014] Aluminum (Al) is usually added to steel as a deoxidizer. In the present application, the appropriate addition of aluminum helps to form a certain amount of residual austenite during the cooling process, thereby improving the toughness and formability of the steel. Aluminum can also refine the grain and improve the toughness of the steel. In addition, similar to silicon, aluminum can inhibit the formation of carbides and promote the enrichment of carbon in austenite during bainite transformation, thereby stabilizing the residual austenite.

[0015] Chromium (Cr) is an element that improves hardenability, which can promote the formation of bainite or martensite structure in steel during cooling, thereby improving the strength and hardness while maintaining a certain toughness. Chromium can also improve the corrosion resistance and wear resistance of steel.

[0016] Boron (B) is a very effective hardening element. A small amount of boron can ensure that the core of the steel plate is fully hardened during the cooling process after hot rolling, thereby obtaining the required high-strength structure, significantly improving the hardenability of the steel, and enabling the steel plate to form bainite or martensite structure under slower cooling conditions, thereby improving the strength.

[0017] Phosphorus (P) and sulfur (S) are impurity elements in steel, and their content should be minimized.

[0018] In one aspect, the present application precisely controls the content of C, Mn, Si, Al, and combines with Nb, Ti, Mo, Cr, B, and other micro-alloying elements to achieve grain refinement, precipitation strengthening, and residual austenite stabilization, thereby maintaining high strength while significantly improving toughness and ductility, and having good pickling adaptability. On the other hand, the steel plate prepared in the prior art generally contains Ni element, which is a high-priced alloy element. The present solution directly removes Ni, significantly reducing the cost of raw materials. At the same time, Mo is a high-priced element, and the content of Mo is controlled to be 0.05-0.10% in the present solution, reducing the use of expensive alloy elements, further saving costs. The content of Nb element is 0.02-0.05%, which also reduces the input of expensive elements, achieving the effect of controllable cost.

[0019] A method for preparing a high-strength and high-toughness steel plate as described above, comprising the following steps: S1, smelting and casting: after pretreatment of the molten steel, converter smelting is performed, alloy fine adjustment is added, LF refining is performed in sequence, RH vacuum treatment is performed, and then the molten steel is continuously cast into a continuous casting billet; S2, heating: the continuous casting billet is heated to austenitizing temperature and kept for 2-3 hours to ensure complete solid solution of Nb and Ti; S3, rolling: the heated slab is subjected to multi-pass hot rolling, wherein the rough rolling opening temperature is 1030-1050℃, and the finish rolling temperature is 840-920℃; after hot rolling, the steel plate is subjected to laminar cooling to 520-570℃ and coiled; S4, pickling: using a composite pickling solution, the hot-rolled steel plate after coiling is pickled at 50-90℃, and then is leveled; S5, continuous annealing: the steel plate is heated to 770-850℃ and kept for 1-3 minutes to obtain austenite structure; then the steel plate is quenched at a cooling rate of 150-300℃ / min to 320-380℃ and kept at 340-360℃ for 3-4 minutes for partitioning treatment, the quenching stage converts part of the austenite into martensite, and the partitioning stage diffuses carbon in the martensite into the unconverted austenite; finally, the temperature is lowered to 180-220℃ at a cooling rate of 4-6℃ / min and kept for 2-3 minutes for tempering treatment to eliminate the stress in the martensite while retaining stable residual austenite; S6, cooling: the steel plate is cooled to room temperature at a cooling rate of 20-30℃ / min. Slow cooling can avoid secondary martensite transformation, and the final residual austenite accounts for 8-12% in the steel plate and is distributed in the form of thin films between the martensite laths.

[0020] Further, in step S1, the thickness of the continuous casting billet is 200-230mm.

[0021] Further, in step S2, the austenitizing temperature is 1150-1250℃. With this heating temperature range, the internal temperature of the slab is uniform and the austenite grain size is moderate; appropriate holding time can make the austenite grains grow fully and uniformly without excessive coarsening.

[0022] Preferably, in step S2, nitrogen and hydrogen mixed gas is introduced during heating, which can reduce the oxidation loss of Al element and create conditions for subsequent surface treatment.

[0023] Further, in step S3, the speed of laminar cooling is 30-45℃ / s.

[0024] In the technical solution, in step S3, the purpose of hot rolling is to promote grain refinement and specific phase transformation, such as bainite or martensite formation, to obtain a fine and uniform initial structure to lay the foundation for subsequent heat treatment.

[0025] The coiling temperature is higher than the martensite transformation start temperature (Ms point), so the steel mainly undergoes bainite transformation when coiling, without forming a large amount of martensite. By controlling the coiling temperature, the steel plate completes bainite transformation during coiling and retains part of the unconverted austenite. These residual austenites are retained at room temperature, thereby providing a transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect in the final structure to improve the toughness and formability of the steel plate.

[0026] Further, in step S3, before coiling, the cooling speed of the steel plate is controlled to be 5-15℃ / s and stays for 2-5 seconds. Among them, appropriate cooling or isothermal is conducive to the formation of fine bainite and the retention of a certain amount of residual austenite, which has good welding performance and fatigue resistance. The present application controls the cooling and coiling process to make the content of residual austenite reach the optimal range, so as to balance the strength and toughness.

[0027] Further, in step S4, the composite pickling solution comprises, by volume percentage, 30-45% hydrochloric acid, 1-5% sulfuric acid, 0.2-0.5% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, 1-3% propyl sulfide, 0.5-0.8% epoxy acid octane, 0.5-1.5% dicycloalkylamine nitrite, 3-4% ethanol and water in remainder; wherein the concentration of the hydrochloric acid is 30-50wt%, and the concentration of the sulfuric acid is 70-80wt%.

[0028] Among them, the steel plate of the present application contains appropriate amount of Si, Al and other easily oxidized elements in the composition, which may form a small amount of silicon aluminum oxide on the surface. Therefore, pickling is mainly to remove the oxide scale formed during hot rolling. The pickled steel plate retains the high strength and low cost of the hot rolled state, and the surface quality and forming performance are better than those of ordinary hot rolled plates, with the advantages of smooth surface, high dimensional accuracy and good formability.

[0029] Further, in step S4, the pickling time is 5-15 seconds, and the pickling line speed is 30-100mpm, preferably 40-70mpm.

[0030] Further, in step S4, a pretreatment solution containing nanometer titanium dioxide and sodium dodecyl sulfonate is used for rinsing before pickling.

[0031] Further, after pickling is completed and before leveling, the steel plate is rinsed with water for 3-5 times until the pH value of the rinsing water reaches 6.5-7; and then the steel plate is dried. Among them, the drying adopts hot air circulation drying or infrared drying, and the drying temperature is 80-120℃.

[0032] Further, after drying, antirust oil is coated on the surface of the steel plate, which can effectively prevent rusting during short-term storage and transportation.

[0033] Further, after pickling, the leveling is carried out by using rolling force mode, the rolling force is 100-200 tons, and desalted water is used as leveling liquid, the leveling elongation is 0.4-2%, preferably 0.6-1%.

[0034] In the steel plate preparation process, leveling refers to the process of slightly rolling the steel plate after pickling or annealing, which is a key link of finishing machining.

[0035] In step S5, the purpose of continuous annealing is to optimize the proportion and distribution of multi-phase structures such as ferrite, martensite, residual austenite and / or bainite, to achieve a strength-toughness balance while improving strength and ductility.

[0036] Further, after step S5, a surface treatment stage is further included, specifically: under the protection of argon, a Cr2O3-Al2O3-TiO2 layer is cladded on the surface of the steel plate by laser cladding technology, wherein the coating thickness is 1-2 mm, the laser power is 1800-2300 W, and the scanning speed is 12-18 mm / s.

[0037] The pickled steel plate obtained by the application has fine and uniform multi-phase microstructure, specifically: ferrite (F), bainite (B) and residual austenite (RA), and possibly a small amount of martensite (M). The ferrite provides certain plasticity and toughness, the bainite and martensite provide high strength, and the residual austenite undergoes martensite transformation when deformed, thereby improving work hardening and toughness. Compared with the traditional ferrite-pearlite structure of hot-rolled pickled steel plates, the multi-phase structure of the application has significant advantages in strength and toughness.

[0038] Further, the content of residual austenite is 5-15%.

[0039] The application of the high-strength and high-toughness steel plate as described above in the preparation of automobile parts, the steel plate is prepared by the preparation method described above, and the steel plate is used to prepare an automobile bottom plate.

[0040] The steel plate of the application can be widely used in automobile chassis and body bottom plate parts, such as frame longitudinal beams, cross beams, chassis reinforcing parts, suspension supports, auxiliary frames, etc. The high-strength and high-toughness pickled steel plate of the application is used to manufacture the above-mentioned parts, which can thin the thickness of the steel plate under the premise of ensuring the strength and safety performance of the parts, thereby reducing the weight of the whole vehicle and improving fuel economy. At the same time, since the steel plate of the application has good toughness and formability, it is not easy to crack during the stamping forming and service process of the parts, thereby improving the reliability and service life of the parts.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the application are: (1) The present application inhibits the precipitation of carbides by Si and Al, retains residual austenite to improve toughness, improves hardenability by Mn, Cr, Mo and B, ensures the required hard phase structure under reasonable cooling speed, and further improves strength and toughness by Nb and Ti grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. The present application optimizes the above-mentioned components to reduce harmful elements and add beneficial elements to improve toughness and process performance while ensuring sufficient strength of the steel, and through specific hot rolling, cooling and coiling processes, and pickling treatment, a fine and uniform multiphase structure is obtained, which can have good toughness and formability while ensuring high strength, and can be used to manufacture automobile chassis and floor structure parts to meet the requirements of lightweight and safety performance.

[0042] (2) The preparation method of the present application first adopts the process route of molten iron pretreatment, converter smelting, alloy fine adjustment, LF refining, RH vacuum treatment and continuous casting, effectively reduces the adverse effects of impurities on the toughness of the steel plate, and lays a good material foundation for the subsequent rolling and heat treatment process; in the heating step, the continuous casting blank is heated at 1200-1254℃ for 2-3 hours, solving the problem of insufficient solid solution of micro-alloy elements caused by insufficient traditional heating temperature, and further affecting the precipitation strengthening effect. In the rolling process, the finish rolling temperature is controlled in the non-recrystallization region of austenite, and the Nb element is used to inhibit the recrystallization of austenite, realizing grain refinement during rolling. In the pickling process, the specific acid temperature and concentration can efficiently remove the iron oxide scale on the surface of the steel plate, and the acid temperature can form a Si-rich layer on the surface of the steel plate, solving the problem of insufficient surface toughness of high-strength steel in traditional pickling process. Finally, through the synergistic effect of quenching, partitioning and tempering, the optimal ratio of martensite and residual austenite is realized. Each preparation step cooperates and synergizes to form an organic whole. The smelting and continuous casting provide high-quality casting blanks for the subsequent process; the heating step ensures sufficient solid solution of micro-alloy elements; the rolling step realizes grain refinement and uniformization of the structure; the pickling step improves the surface quality and formability; and the continuous annealing step finally endows the steel plate with excellent strength and toughness and comprehensive performance. This synergistic effect makes the steel plate prepared by the present application surpass the steel plate prepared by the traditional process in strength, toughness, corrosion resistance and other aspects.
