Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of medium manganese steel, and particularly relates to a processing method for improving yield strength and high strength plastic product of 10Mn medium manganese steel plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the global ecological environment is deteriorating, and the requirements for automobile production are becoming higher and higher. At present, the important research direction is to improve the structural stiffness, reduce the cost, increase the safety and stability of automobile driving, and reduce the carbon emission of the automobile through the lightweight design of the automobile. The traditional steel has been unable to meet the demand of high strength, plasticity and work hardening capacity, and the medium manganese steel, one of the third generation of advanced high strength steel, has a very broad prospect in this regard. Compared with traditional high strength steel, medium manganese steel can have high strength and high ductility, bear greater deformation without easy fracture, perform excellently in special environment, can reduce cost through controlled rolling, annealing and other processes, and is compatible with traditional steel and easy to recycle, meeting the requirements of circular economy.

[0003] Medium manganese steel is an alloy steel containing 3% to 12% manganese, belonging to the third generation of advanced high strength steel (AHSS) for automobile industry, and usually has a microstructure of ferrite matrix and metastable residual austenite. The microstructure of medium manganese steel can be controlled by different heat treatment processes to obtain different phase compositions and mechanical properties.

[0004] In the manufacturing process of medium manganese steel, the addition of expensive alloys (such as nickel and molybdenum) is reduced, and the performance is adjusted by controlling the carbon and manganese content, and the manufacturing cost is reduced. The general design idea is to control the austenite content and stability in steel by carbon and manganese partitioning, and the higher the carbon and manganese content, the higher the austenite obtained is more stable, but when the carbon and manganese content exceeds a certain value, the welding performance of the steel will be deteriorated, and the more stable the austenite is, the mechanical properties will be deteriorated to some extent. Therefore, there is great limitation in relying only on carbon and manganese partitioning to control the content / stability of austenite metastable phase.

[0005] The application patent with the publication number CN 118932241 A discloses a high-carbon 8Mn medium manganese steel warm-rolled plate and its preparation method and application. The preparation method comprises the following steps: (1) melting: the ingot is melted and cast to obtain a cannonball-shaped ingot under a vacuum environment; (2) forging: the ingot is forged into a slab, and then air-cooled to room temperature; (3) hot rolling: the slab is subjected to six-pass hot rolling to obtain a thin plate, and then water-quenched to room temperature; (4) warm rolling: the thin plate is heated and kept for a period of time, and then subjected to six-pass warm rolling, and then water-quenched to room temperature; (5) post-rolling heat treatment: the thin plate after warm rolling is subjected to tempering treatment, and then water-quenched to room temperature, to obtain the high-carbon 8Mn medium manganese steel warm-rolled plate. The yield strength of the high-carbon 8Mn medium manganese steel warm-rolled plate provided in the application example is 766-789 MPa, the tensile strength is 1570-1685 MPa, the elongation is 20.6-21.3%, and the strength-plasticity product is 33.4-34.7 GPa%. Although this method can improve the strength-plasticity product and the tensile strength of the medium manganese steel plate, the yield strength of the plate is low, and the comprehensive requirements of modern industry, especially the automobile industry, on material performance cannot be met.

[0006] Increasing the yield strength of the medium manganese steel plate can realize material lightweighting under the premise of ensuring structural safety and use reliability, thereby reducing energy consumption and cost; and the high-strength-plasticity medium manganese steel plate can ensure excellent energy absorption capacity and forming performance of the material in the deformation process, which is crucial for automobile crash safety and cold forming process of complex parts. The synergistic improvement of such strength and plasticity not only can expand the application field of the medium manganese steel from automobiles to high-end markets such as buildings and mechanical manufacturing, but also can improve the market competitiveness and economic benefits of products, representing an important direction of development of advanced high-strength steel. Therefore, how to synergistically improve the yield strength and strength-plasticity product of the medium manganese steel plate without affecting the tensile strength has important significance to meet the needs of different industries for medium manganese steel.
