Description

[0001] Steel sheet for spotless phosphating

[0002] The invention relates to a hot-dip coated and skin-passed steel sheet, comprising a steel substrate made of an interstitial-free (IF) alloy according to DIN EN 10 346 and a metallic coating applied to one or both sides of the steel substrate, which, in addition to zinc and unavoidable impurities, contains additional elements such as aluminum with a content of 0.5 to 8.0 wt.% and magnesium with a content of 0.5 to 8.0 wt.% in the coating. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for producing a hot-dip coated and skin-passed steel sheet and to a use thereof.

[0003] During hot-dip plating with Al-containing zinc melts, an Al-containing oxide layer forms during the cooling process. With the additional addition of Mg to the melt, a layered oxide layer consisting of an essentially closed Mg oxide layer and underlying Al oxides develops during the cooling process. Due to the higher dipole moment, corresponding to the electronegativity difference of Mg oxide (AEN=2.27) compared to Al oxide (AEN=2.03) or zinc oxide (AEN=1.84), polarizable or dipolar compounds applied to the Mg oxide layer are more strongly bound to the surface. Typically, a corrosion protection system, such as a corrosion protection oil, is applied to the oxide layer after hot-dip plating. Since this oil adheres more strongly to the Mg oxide due to the high dipole moment, the cleaning properties of the surface deteriorate.This negatively impacts pre- and post-treatment processes, which require an oil- and dirt-free surface. In particular, it leads to undesirable staining in the phosphating process.

[0004] Coatings made of zinc, aluminum, and magnesium oxidize in air and form a covering, predominantly magnesium-rich oxide layer on the surface. This oxide layer has different chemical properties than established pure zinc or zinc-aluminum coatings. Further processing processes are geared towards established layers. Changes in the chemical composition of the surface also affect the further processing properties. It is known from typical automotive processing processes that magnesium-rich surfaces are more difficult to join, clean, and phosphate than established zinc-containing coatings. This limits the willingness of automobile manufacturers to use them in bodywork. In addition, extensive tests must be completed and passed. Textured skin-pass rollers transfer their texture to the surface of the steel sheets to be processed as a negative during a skin-pass process, i.e.Elevations on the roll surface result in depressions in the steel sheet surface, and vice versa. The skin-pass impressions (depressions) created in this way in the steel sheet surface, so-called closed voids, serve as lubricant pockets that can hold a lubricant applied to the steel sheet surface and carry it along during the forming process. From the prior art, skin-passed steel sheets with a stochastic surface structure are known, for example, from patent EP 2 006 037 B1, and steel sheets with a deterministic surface structure are known, for example, from patent EP 2 892 663 B1.

[0005] The contact between the shaping elements of the skin-passing roll and the steel sheet surface during the skin-passing process can alter the surface chemistry of the contact surface. In terms of chemistry, hot-dip coated coatings are structured in such a way that a layer of alloying elements with a higher affinity for oxygen forms on the zinc primarily present in the coating. The mechanical stress during skin-passing can cause the zinc to be exposed at the contact points between the skin-passing roll and the steel sheet instead of the alloying elements magnesium and / or aluminum. Hot-dip coated steel sheets that have been skin-passed with a stochastic surface structure exhibit a different surface chemistry in the skin-pass impressions of the coated steel sheet than on the elevations of the coated steel sheet.While the chemical composition in the skin pass impressions is richer in zinc, the elevations show high proportions of the oxygen-affine alloying elements (Mg and Al), cf. DE 10 2019 215 051 Al.

[0006] Furthermore, it is known from EP 2 841 614 B1 to condition or change the surface chemistry of hot-dip coated steel sheets by mechanical forces, such as brushing or blasting, in order to obtain better adhesive properties, in particular to substantially remove the native oxide layer.

[0007] EP 3 416 760 B1 discloses that typical specific rolling forces during skin passing are in the range of 1.9 kN / mm.

[0008] So-called interstitial-free steels are also known (see also DIN EN 10346), which are used in the automotive sector, particularly for bodywork components. An interstitial-free steel has no interstitially embedded alloying elements, meaning that no iron atoms in the metal lattice are blocked by carbon or nitrogen atoms. This results in a very soft steel with excellent forming properties. It is primarily used for complex deep-drawn parts in automotive construction. Steels of this type are available under the standard designations DX52D, DX53D, DX54D, DX55D, DX56D, DX57D, HX160YD, HX180YD, HX220YD, and HX260YD. These are cold-rolled steels.

[0009] The task is therefore to change the surface of hot-dip coated steel sheets in such a way that the product can be processed like established products.

[0010] The problem is solved with the features of claim 1.

[0011] The inventors have discovered that the specific rolling force during skin passing after hot-dip coating influences the surface and thus also the surface chemistry, such that increasing the specific rolling force can create a truly enlarged surface compared to a perfectly flat surface. During skin passing, the contact of shaping elements of the skin passing roll with the surface of the hot-dip coated steel sheet creates a mechanical stress through which the elements zinc and aluminum (oxide) located directly beneath the magnesium-rich oxide layer (native oxide layer can have a thickness of > 0 to 200 nm, in particular up to 100 nm, preferably up to 50 nm, at the surface or near the surface within the coating and is thus to be understood as part of the coating) can reach the surface of the coating.The specific rolling force, particularly its increase compared to the standard process, can be used to increase the surface area. This increase is achieved because the Sdr value determined according to ISO 25178 is at least 1.8%. The Sdr value determined according to ISO 25178 corresponds to the percentage by which the actual surface is larger than a completely flat surface due to the surface structure formed by skin-passing.

[0012] ISO 25178 takes measurements and specifications of three-dimensional surface textures (viewed on a defined area) into account by defining three-dimensional texture parameters and the operators for their determination. It can also be used to capture characteristic quantities such as the mean arithmetic height Sa (arithmetic mean of the absolute ordinate values) in three dimensions, which was previously only possible two-dimensionally by specifying the mean arithmetic roughness Ra on a line across ISO 4288, particularly along or across the rolling direction. Alternatively, the Sdr value is determined using confocal microscopy. An area of ​​at least 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm is observed. For larger areas, such as 0.8 mm x 0.8 mm, the shaped components of the sheet in the area under observation are separated using mathematical filters.The maximum area to be observed should not be larger than 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm, preferably not larger than 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm, particularly preferably not larger than 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm, in particular not larger than 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm.

[0013] It is self-explanatory that the term surface and thus also the values ​​determined according to ISO 25178 in this context refer to the entire surface that has been three-dimensionally textured, i.e. skin-passed, by the skin-pass roll. To determine the Sdr and / or Sa values, random samples of individual surface areas are preferably sufficient. In particular, the values ​​determined according to ISO 25178 (the Sdr and / or Sa value) in this context relate to the entire textured area, i.e. the sheet surface with valley and peak areas and including the flank areas that connect the valley and peak areas. In one alternative, the Sdr and / or Sa values ​​are determined, for example, at a resolution with an area of ​​at least 0.5 mm x 0.5 mm or 0.8 mm x 0.8 mm up to a maximum of no larger than 3.0 mm x 3.0 mm, particularly preferably no larger than 2.0 mm x 2.0 mm, in particular no larger than 1.0 mm x 1.0 mm.

[0014] At an Sdr value of less than 1.80%, the influence on the surface chemistry is too small and would not subsequently lead to spot-free phosphating. High Sdr values ​​above 8.0% are possible, but only with high equipment expenditure and thus are complex to achieve. Therefore, optimal spot-free phosphating is achieved with an Sdr value between 1.80 and 8.0%, in particular of at least 1.90%, 2.20%, 2.30%, 2.40%, preferably of at least 2.50%, 2.70%, 2.80%, 3.0%, preferably of at least 3.10%, 3.20%, 3.30%, 3.40%, 3.50%, and in particular of a maximum of 6.0%, preferably a maximum of 5.0%.

[0015] For the purposes of the invention, spots are defined as apparently dark areas (on the surface). Preferably, a dark area is delimited by dark points which are characterized by the fact that they are darker than other, hence brighter points in the immediate vicinity. In this sense, a point is not to be understood as a mathematical point, which has no extent, but rather, for example, as a pixel or group of pixels. Such a dark point only has a common border with brighter points in a partial area of ​​its circumference. In the remaining partial area of ​​its circumference, it has a common border with dark points which have essentially the same brightness as this delimiting dark point. An above-mentioned dark area thus essentially consists of the latter-mentioned dark points and the former-mentioned delimiting dark points.

[0016] Steel sheets with a zinc-based coating have very good cathodic corrosion protection and have been used in automotive engineering for years. Since improved corrosion protection is required, the coating contains, in addition to zinc and unavoidable impurities, magnesium in a content of at least 0.5 wt.%, in particular at least 0.8 wt.%, preferably at least 1.1 wt.%. Additionally, aluminum is also present in a content of at least 0.5 wt.%, in particular at least 0.8 wt.%, preferably at least 1.1 wt.%, in order to improve the bonding of the coating to the steel sheet and, in particular, to substantially prevent the diffusion of iron from the steel sheet into the coating during heat treatment of the coated steel sheet, so that the positive corrosion properties are retained.The thickness of the coating can be between 1 and 25 μm, in particular between 2 and 20 μm, preferably between 3 and 15 μm per side. Below the minimum limit, sufficient cathodic corrosion protection cannot be guaranteed, and above the maximum limit, joining problems may arise when connecting the steel sheet according to the invention or a component made from it to another component. In particular, if the specified maximum coating thickness is exceeded, a stable process cannot be ensured during thermal joining or welding.

[0017] The mean arithmetic height Sa may be at least 0.70 pm, in particular at least 0.80 pm, preferably at least 0.90 pm. It may be limited to a maximum of 2.0 pm, in particular to a maximum of 1.80 pm, preferably to a maximum of 1.60 pm.

[0018] The I F alloy of the steel substrate contains or consists of the following elements in wt.%:

[0019] C: 0.0003 to 0.015%, in particular 0.0005 to 0.010%, preferably 0.001 to 0.005%;

[0020] Si: 0.0005 to 0.50%, in particular 0.0010 to 0.40%, preferably 0.0010 to 0.30%; Mn: 0.0005 to 1.60%, in particular 0.010 to 1.55%, preferably 0.010 to 1.50%; P: up to 0.10%, in particular up to 0.080%, preferably 0.0002 to 0.060%;

[0021] S: up to 0.050%, in particular up to 0.040%, preferably 0.0003 to 0.030%;

[0022] N: up to 0.10%, in particular up to 0.080%, preferably 0.0001 to 0.070%; Al: 0.0010 to 1.0%, in particular 0.0010 to 0.90%, preferably 0.0010 to 0.80%; one or both of the following elements:

[0023] Nb: 0.0001 to 0.20%, in particular 0.0002 to 0.10%, preferably 0.0003 to 0.050%;

[0024] Ti: 0.0005 to 0.20%, in particular 0.010 to 0.150%, preferably 0.010 to 0.120%; optionally one or more of the following elements:

[0025] B up to 0.0050% and / or Cu up to 0.20% and / or Cr up to 0.20% and / or Ni up to 0.20% and / or Mo up to 0.150% and / or Sn up to 0.10%;

[0026] Rest iron and unavoidable impurities.

[0027] The surface of the steel sheet can have a stochastic surface structure. This is created using skin-pass rolls, whose surfaces are textured using a so-called EDT process.

[0028] Alternatively, the surface of the steel sheet can have a deterministic surface structure. This is created using skin-pass rolls whose surfaces are textured with a laser.

[0029] In an alternative, skin-pass rolls with an Ra value (the arithmetic mean roughness according to DIN EN ISO 4288) of at least 1.0 pm, preferably at least 1.2 pm, particularly preferably at least 1.3 pm, in particular at least 1.6 pm and a maximum of 11.0 pm, preferably a maximum of 4.5 pm, particularly preferably a maximum of 3.5 pm, in particular 3.0 pm are used. Alternatively or additionally, the skin-pass rolls have an Sdr value of at least 1.5% or 1.8%, preferably at least 2.5%, particularly preferably at least 3.0%, in particular at least 3.5% and a maximum of 55.0%, preferably a maximum of 40.0%, particularly preferably a maximum of 20.0%, in particular a maximum of 10.0%.

[0030] A surface with a pseudo-stochastic surface structure would also be conceivable. These surface structures have a (guasi-)stochastic appearance, composed of stochastic elements with a recurring structure.

[0031] With an increase in the specific rolling force during skin-passing and the associated increase in surface area, it was found that the standardized Mg content on the surface decreases, so that the Mg content is a maximum of 55%, in particular a maximum of 53%, preferably a maximum of 52%, preferably a maximum of 50%. The specified standardized content corresponds in particular to the determined mean value, although fluctuations within the scope of measurement tolerances (standard deviation) may occur. A value below 10% is not permitted. The Mg content on the surface can in particular be at least 15%, preferably at least 20%, preferably at least 25%.

[0032] Furthermore, it was also observed that with an increase in the specific rolling force during skin-passing and the associated surface enlargement, the standardized Zn content on the surface increases, so that the Zn content is at least 13%, in particular at least 14%, preferably at least 15%, preferably at least 17%. The specified standardized content corresponds in particular to the determined mean value, although fluctuations within the scope of measurement tolerances (standard deviation) may occur. Exceeding 60% is not possible. The Zn content on the surface can in particular be a maximum of 50%, preferably a maximum of 40%, preferably a maximum of 35%.

[0033] The sum of the standardized proportions of magnesium, aluminum and zinc is always 100%.

[0034] The relative concentration of zinc, magnesium, and aluminum is determined by determining the absolute concentration of these elements and then standardizing them to 100%. The sum of the concentrations of zinc, magnesium, and aluminum is set equal to 100, and the proportion of each element in this 100% is evaluated or weighted as the relative concentration, i.e., related to 100%. The relative concentration of an element (Al, Mg, Zn) therefore refers to the sum of the concentrations of the elements Mg, Zn, and Al, as this sum represents 100%. Since the absolute concentration of the elements Zn, Mg, and Al can vary from coating to coating, the data is given as a relative concentration in percentage points in order to precisely define changes. The occurrence of the elements zinc, magnesium, and aluminum is recorded within the meaning of the invention, regardless of the form in which they are present.It therefore does not matter whether these elements exist as neutral atoms or ions, in a compound such as an alloy or intermetallic phase, or in a compound such as complex oxides, salts, hydroxides, or the like. Thus, the terms "zinc," "aluminum," and "magnesium" within the meaning of the invention can encompass not only the elements in pure form, but also oxidic and / or hydroxide forms, or any form of compounds containing these elements.

[0035] The tendency for spotting in the phosphate coating decreases with decreasing standardized Mg content and with increasing standardized Zn content at the surface. The relative concentration differences of magnesium, aluminum, and zinc at the surface of the coating, i.e., on the "native" (magnesium-rich) oxide layer, can be determined by recording the spatial distribution of the signals for these alloying elements using a time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometer (ToF-SIMS) in imaging mode or, similarly, using Auger electron or photoelectron spectroscopy. ToF-SIMS is an analytical method for determining the chemical surface composition of the top 1-3 monolayers.

[0036] Using ToF-SIMS, certain relative concentration differences are measured by scanning the surface to be analyzed within a representative measurement area. A spectrum with positive polarity is recorded at each position on the grid, and the raw signals for the main components (alloying elements) are recorded. The relative concentration of element X, which in this case represents one of the alloying elements in the hot-dip coated and temper-passed coating, is calculated from the quotient [X raw signal integral / (Zn raw signal integral + Mg raw signal integral + Al raw signal integral)], with the denominator of the quotient being the sum of the raw signal integrals of all alloying elements in the coating. The “raw signal” of element X in this definition is the intensity or peak area of ​​element X in the mass spectrum.The "raw signal integral" of element X is the integrated intensity, which is represented over a defined area of ​​grid positions and assigned to the respective element X. The ToF-SIMS characterization can be performed in a measurement area of ​​200x200 pm. 2 or 500x500 pm 2 The internal ToF-SIMS measurements were performed using a TOF.SIMS 5 device from ION-TOF GmbH.

[0037] The near-surface chemical composition is determined, for example, using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), whereby the procedure for determining the individual chemical compositions is familiar from the prior art. For the purposes of the invention, the XPS-typical information depth corresponds to a layer with a thickness of essentially 5 nm. The measurement can be carried out, for example, using the Phi Quantera II SXM Scanning XPS Microprobe from Physical Electronics GmbH. The element concentrations measured by XPS can be taken from overview spectra, which are recorded at, for example, a transmission energy of 280 eV over the course of at least 7 cycles and cover, for example, a measurement area of ​​100 x 100 pm. 2can refer to. As described above, a normalization to 100% is carried out to indicate the relative concentrations. For the purposes of the invention, the term essentially means with regard to a feature or process that this feature or process is almost completely fulfilled, but there remains a difference of a maximum of 50%, 45%, 40%, preferably 30%, 25%, particularly preferably 20%, 19%, 18%, 17%, 16%, 15%, 14%, 13%, 12%, 11%, in particular 10%, 9%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1% or 0.5%, 0.1% up to a 100% match.

[0038] Steel sheet is generally understood to be a cold-rolled flat steel product, which can be provided in sheet form, in blank form, or in strip form. The thickness of the steel sheet can be between 0.45 and 2.5 mm, in particular at least 0.5 mm, preferably at least 0.6 mm, and in particular a maximum of 2.0 mm, preferably a maximum of 1.8 mm.

[0039] According to a second aspect, the invention relates to a method for producing a hot-dip coated and skin-passed steel sheet, comprising the following steps: - providing a steel substrate made of an interstitial-free alloy according to DIN EN 10346, - hot-dip coating the steel substrate on one or both sides with a metallic coating which, in addition to zinc and unavoidable impurities, contains additional elements such as aluminum with a content of 0.5 to 8.0 wt.% and magnesium with a content of 0.5 to 8.0 wt.% in the coating, - skin-passing the hot-dip coated steel sheet, wherein a skin-passing force during skin-passing is adjusted such that a surface Sdr value of at least 1.80% results on the surface of the hot-dip coated and skin-passed steel sheet, determined according to ISO 25178.

[0040] The surface (positive form) of the skin-passing roll forms a surface structure through the application of force to the surface of the steel sheet. This structure defines depressions (negative form) and essentially corresponds to the surface with elevations (positive form) of the skin-passing roll. The set specific rolling force can have a positive influence by essentially displacing the surface chemistry and, in particular, the oxygen-affine alloying elements such as magnesium and aluminum through the application of force during skin-passing at the surface of the coating, and the surface area can also be increased. Since magnesium has a higher affinity for oxygen than aluminum, a magnesium-rich oxide layer forms on the surface of the coating or near the surface, particularly during hot-dip coating.The application of force can essentially displace disruptive layers, such as magnesium-rich oxide layers, so that the relative concentration of zinc and optionally aluminum on the surface increases, which in turn can lead to a spot-free surface during post-treatment and thus during phosphating.

[0041] To avoid repetition, reference is made to the statements on the hot-dip coated and tempered steel sheet according to the invention.

[0042] In order to particularly reduce the relative concentration of magnesium on the surface of the coating in the valley areas or to displace the magnesium-rich oxide layer, according to one embodiment of the method according to the invention, a specific rolling force of at least 1.8 kN / mm is set during skin passing, so that the surface area can be increased. A further increase is possible if a specific rolling force of at least 2.0 kN / mm, preferably at least 2.2 kN / mm, and more preferably at least 2.3 kN / mm is set during skin passing. Specific rolling forces above 10 kN / mm offer no advantage and only increase labor and equipment costs. In addition, the abrasion or wear generated during skin passing due to the shear forces between the sheet and skin-pass roll surfaces outside the flow shear zone increases with the specific rolling force.

[0043] In a further embodiment, the hot-dip coated and skin-passed steel sheet described above is oiled with a mineral oil-based corrosion inhibitor. Mineral oils and mineral oil-based corrosion inhibitors are known to those skilled in the art. Mineral oils are produced from coal, peat, wood, petroleum, or natural gas and, unlike oils derived from organisms, contain essentially no fatty acid triglycerides. Mineral oil-based corrosion inhibitors contain or consist of more than 50%, preferably more than 70%, particularly preferably more than 90% mineral oils, as well as optionally other additives and / or so-called synthetic oils, which have a special molecular structure not found in this form in the starting material (e.g., crude oil).

[0044] Experts know what is meant by specific rolling force in skin-passing. The specific rolling force is the absolute rolling force in N divided by the strip width in mm.

[0045] According to a third aspect, the invention relates to a use of a hot-dip coated and tempered steel sheet according to the invention, which has been produced in particular by the method according to the invention, for parts in vehicle construction, preferably for outer skin parts on the vehicle.

[0046] Samples were cut from a 0.7 mm thick cold-rolled steel substrate of grade DX56D. These samples were hot-dip coated on a laboratory scale with various metallic coatings and skin-passed using different skin-pass parameters. They were then subjected to further testing. The results are summarized in Table 1. The coating thickness (including the oxide layer) was 6 μm per side. Samples 1, 2, and 4, as well as samples 11 to 15, were skin-passed using a pair of skin-pass rolls with a stochastic surface texture, and samples 5, 7, and V8 were skin-passed using a pair of skin-pass rolls with a deterministic surface texture. Samples V3, V6, V9, V10, and V16 were skin-passed conventionally using a pair of skin-pass rolls with a stochastic surface texture.

[0047] The oxide layer thickness was < 60 nm for all samples. It is clearly evident that the skin-passing process has a significant influence on the surface chemistry of a steel sheet hot-dip coated with a Mg-Al-Zn coating, such that by increasing the specific rolling force and the associated surface area enlargement, the surface chemistry can also be positively adjusted by reducing the magnesium-rich components.

[0048] All samples then underwent the following processing steps: oiling with a mineral oil-based corrosion inhibitor, degreasing, cleaning, rinsing, activation, rinsing, phosphating, rinsing, and drying. These processing steps were carried out conventionally using agents familiar to the expert. The phosphated samples were visually inspected; samples V6 and V8 to V10, as well as V16, exhibited very prominent and noticeable stains. Further investigations had shown that in the dark areas, the average crystal size of the phosphate-containing crystals (so-called phosphate crystals) of (5+2-2) pm was significantly exceeded, both in terms of the mean value and its standard deviation.
