TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metallurgical plates, and particularly relates to a production method of a 590MPa-grade galvanized dual-phase steel strip with high elongation. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of automobile lightweight, higher requirements are put forward for the strength, complex formability and weldability of the steel plate for automobiles. The traditional dual-phase steel has been difficult to meet some specific demand fields, therefore, the development of a steel plate with high strength and high elongation has become a current research hotspot. As a kind of high-strength, low-alloy steel, the dual-phase steel has excellent mechanical properties and forming properties, and is widely used in the field of automobile manufacturing. However, the dual-phase steel strip on the market currently often has the problem of poor formability when the strength reaches the 590MPa level, which limits its application in some complex-shaped parts, in addition, galvanizing treatment is an effective means to improve the corrosion resistance of the steel plate. Therefore, how to produce a galvanized dual-phase steel strip with both high elongation and 590MPa-grade strength requirements has become a technical problem to be solved.
[0003] Currently, the 600MPa-grade galvanized dual-phase steel produced by Hunan Hualing Liansteel Special New Material Co., Ltd. (600MPa-grade galvanized dual-phase steel, preparation process and application, application number 202210989031.9) has a component design of Cr: 0.1-0.2%, and a finishing elongation of 0.5-0.8%, which is different from the component and process design of the present application. The higher finishing elongation affects the yield ratio and forming performance of the product, and the average elongation of 25% is lower than that of the present application. The 590MPa-grade hot-dip galvanized dual-phase steel produced by Pansteel Group Panzhihua Iron and Steel Research Institute Co., Ltd. (a 590MPa-grade hot-dip galvanized dual-phase steel and a preparation method, application number 202311333665.X) has a component design of C: 0.06-0.10%, Al: 0.015-0.070%, and Cr: 0.25-0.45%, which is different from the component design of the present application. The higher Cr content increases the cost of the product and affects the surface quality. The 600MPa-grade galvanized dual-phase steel produced by Wuhan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. (a 600MPa-grade galvanized dual-phase steel for cars and a production method, application number 201510968690.4) has a component design of C: 0.04-0.09%, Mo: 0.01-0.30%, and Nb: 0.001-0.03%, which is higher and affects the cost of the product. The elongation is 21-25%, and the n value is 0.14-0.17, which is lower than that of the present application. SUMMARY
