Description

BODY FORMED BY HOT STAMPING TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION [1] The present invention relates to a body formed by hot stamping. Priority is claimed over Japanese Patent Application No. 2020-084591, filed on May 13, 2020, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. BACKGROUND OF THE TECHNIQUE [2] In recent years, there has been a demand for a reduction in vehicle body weight for environmental protection and resource conservation, and high-strength steel sheet has been applied to vehicle members. Vehicle members are manufactured by pressure forming, but not only does the forming load increase, but formability also deteriorates as the strength of the steel sheet increases. For this reason, the formability of high-strength steel sheet in the shape of a member with a complex form becomes a problem. [3] To address this problem, the application of hot stamping techniques is underway. In this technique, pressure forming is performed after a steel sheet is heated to a high temperature within the austenite range, where the steel sheet softens. Hot stamping is gaining attention as a technique that achieves both the formability of a steel sheet into the shape of a vehicle component and the strength of the component by hardening the steel sheet in a die simultaneously with pressure working. [4] In order to achieve a greater effect of reducing the weight of a vehicle body from a vehicle member formed by hot stamping of a steel sheet, it is necessary to obtain a member that has high strength and also excellent collision characteristics. As a technique to improve the collision characteristics of a vehicle member, in particular, a technique to improve the foldability of the vehicle member is being studied. [5] Patent Document 1 discloses a high-strength stamped component having excellent shock-absorbing characteristics, wherein the hardness of the stamped component at the center of the sheet thickness is Hv400 or more, a soft layer having a hardness of Hv300 or less is provided on a surface layer of the stamped component, and the thickness of the soft layer is 20 to 200 pm. [6] Patent Document 2 discloses a high-strength cold-rolled steel sheet having excellent uniform elongation and hole expandability, in which the texture is controlled in the central portion of the steel sheet. [7] During bending distortion, distortion begins at the surface of a vehicle member and gradually progresses into the interior. Therefore, to further improve the bendability of the vehicle member, it is effective to first enhance the bending distortion capacity of the surface layer of the vehicle member and then enhance the bending distortion capacity of the interior of the vehicle member. Patent Documents 1 and 2 do not consider improvements in the bending distortion capacities of either the surface layer or the interior of the vehicle member. [8] Furthermore, when the surface layer of a vehicle member is softened to improve the member's pliability, a problem of ductility deterioration arises. Prior art document Patent Document [9] Patent Document 1: Unexamined Japanese patent application, first publication No. 2015-30890 Patent Document 2: International Publication PCT No. WO2012 / 144567 ινΐΛ / a / zuzz / uii DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION Problems to be solved by the invention

(3) The body formed by hot stamping in accordance with (1) or (2), in which a decarburization index may be 0.085 or more. Effects of the Invention

[12] In accordance with the above-mentioned aspect of the present invention, it is possible to provide a hot-stamped body that has excellent strength, foldability, and ductility. MODALITIES OF THE INVENTION

[13] The present inventors studied a method that allows not only obtaining a (maximum) tensile strength of 1.5 to 2.5 GPa and excellent pliability but also suppressing the deterioration of ductility after hot stamping. As a result, the present inventors found that, in a hot-stamped body, when the surface layer of the steel sheet is softened, and additionally, the texture is controlled at a predetermined position in the sheet thickness direction, it is possible to obtain higher strength and superior pliability than ever before and to suppress the deterioration of ductility.

[14] The texture is affected by the texture and carbon concentration of the metallographic structure before hot stamping. Accordingly, the present inventors found that, in order to obtain a desired texture in the hot-stamped body, it is effective to control the texture in the steel sheet after hot rolling and, additionally, to reduce the amount of carbon in the surface layer of the steel sheet during subsequent annealing.

[15] From now on, a hot-forming steel sheet for manufacturing a hot-formed body according to the present embodiment by hot stamping will be described in detail. First, the reasons for limiting the chemical composition of the hot-forming steel sheet will be described.

[16] The numerical limiting ranges expressed below using 'a' include the lower and upper limits in the ranges. Numerical values ​​expressed with 'greater than' and 'less than' are not included in the numerical ranges. With respect to chemical composition, % indicates % by mass in all cases.

[17] The hot-forming steel sheet for manufacturing the hot-formed body according to the present modality by hot stamping contains, as a chemical composition, % by mass, C: 0.15% to 0.50%, Si: 0.0010% to 3.000%, Mn: 0.30% to 3.00%, Al: 0.0002% to 2.000%, P: 0.100% or less, S: 0.1000% or less, N: 0.0100% or less, Nb: 0% to 0.15%, Ti: 0% to 0.15%, V: 0% to 0.15%, Mo: 0% to 1.0%, Cr: 0% to 1.0%, Cu: 0% to 1.0%, Ni: 0% to 1.0%, B: 0% to 0.0100%, Ca: 0% to 0.010%, REM: 0% to 0.30%, and the remainder consisting of Fe and an impurity. From now on, each element will be described.

[18] C: 0.15% to 0.50% Carbon (C) is an element that improves the strength of hot-formed parts. When the carbon content is less than 0.15%, the desired strength of the hot-formed part cannot be achieved. For this reason, the carbon content is set at 0.15% or higher. The preferred carbon content is 0.17% or higher, 0.20% or higher, or 0.23% or higher. Furthermore, when the carbon content is greater than 0.50%, excellent pliability cannot be obtained. For this reason, the carbon content is set at 0.50% or lower. The preferred carbon content is 0.46% or lower, or 0.43% or lower.

[19] Yes: 0.0010% to 3.000% Silicon (Si) is an element that improves the strength of hot-formed bodies by strengthening the solid solution. When the Si content is less than 0.0010%, the desired strength cannot be achieved. For this reason, the Si content is set at 0.0010% or higher. The preferred Si content is 0.050% or higher, 0.100% or higher, 0.300% or higher, or 0.500% or higher. On the other hand, when the Si content is greater than 3.000%, the amount of ferrite increases, and the desired metallographic structure cannot be obtained. For this reason, the Si content is set at 3.000% or lower. The preferred Si content is 2.700% or lower, or 2.500% or lower.

[20] Mn: 0.30% to 3.00% Manganese (Mn) is an element that improves the hardenability of steel. To enhance hardenability and consequently obtain a desired amount of martensite after hot forging, the Mn content is set at 0.30% or more. The preferred Mn content is 0.50% or more, 0.70% or more, or 1.00% or more. On the other hand, when the Mn content exceeds 3.00%, cracking due to Mn segregation is likely to occur, and excellent pliability cannot be achieved. For this reason, the Mn content is set at 3.00% or less. The preferred Mn content is 2.70% or less, 2.50% or less, or 2.30% or less.

[21] Al: 0.0002% to 2.000% Aluminum (Al) is an element that improves the formability of molten steel by deoxidizing it, suppressing oxide formation, which is the source of fracture. It also improves the pliability of hot-formed parts. When the Al content is less than 0.0002%, deoxidation is insufficient, and a thick oxide layer forms, preventing the aforementioned effect. For this reason, the Al content is set at 0.0002% or higher. Preferably, the Al content is 0.001% or higher. Furthermore, when the Al content exceeds 2.000%, a thick oxide layer forms on the steel, impairing the pliability of hot-formed parts. Therefore, the Al content is set at 2.000% or lower. Preferably, the Al content is 1.700% or lower, or 1.500% or lower.

[22] P: 0.100% or less Phosphorus (P) is an impurity and can cause fracture by segregating at grain boundaries. For this reason, P content is limited to 0.100% or less. Preferably, P content is 0.050% or less. While the lower limit for P content is not strictly enforced, reducing it to less than 0.0001% significantly increases the cost of dephosphorization, which is not economically viable. Therefore, P content can be set at 0.0001% or higher.

[23] S: 0.1000% or less Sulfur (S) is an impurity element and forms an inclusion in steel. Because this inclusion serves as the source of fracture, the S content is limited to 0.1000% or less. The S content is preferably 0.0500% or less, or 0.0300% or less. The lower limit for the S content is not particularly restricted, but reducing the S content to less than 0.0001% significantly increases the cost of desulfurization, which is not economically desirable. For this reason, the S content can be set at 0.0001% or higher.

[24] N: 0.0100% or less Nitrogen (N) is an impurity element and forms nitride in steel. Because this nitride is the source of fracture, the N content is limited to 0.0100% or less. Ideally, the N content is 0.0050% or less. The lower limit for N content is not particularly restricted, but reducing it to less than 0.0001% significantly increases the cost of denitrification, which is not economically desirable. For this reason, the N content can be set at 0.0001% or higher.

[25] The remainder of the chemical composition of hot-formed steel sheet may be Fe and impurities. Elements that are inevitably mixed in from scrap or steel raw material and / or during steelmaking and are permitted within a range where the characteristics of the hot-formed body are not impaired are exemplary examples of impurities.

[26] Hot stamping steel sheet may contain the following elements as arbitrary elements in place of a portion of Fe. The contents of the following arbitrary elements, obtained in a case where the following arbitrary elements are not contained, are 0%.

[27] Nb: 0% to 0.15% Ti: 0% to 0.15% V: 0% to 0.15% Nitrogen (Nb) and titanium (Ti) enhance the strength of hot-formed parts through precipitation hardening by forming carbonitride in the steel. To reliably achieve this effect, the Nb, Ti, and V content is preferably set at 0.05% or higher. Conversely, if the Nb, Ti, and V content exceeds 0.15%, a significant amount of carbonitride forms in the steel, impairing the ductility of the hot-formed part. Therefore, the Nb, Ti, and V content is each set at 0.15% or lower.

[28] Mo: 0% to 1.0% Cr: 0% to 1.0% Cu: 0% to 1.0% Ni: 0% to 1.0% Molybdenum (Mo) and chromium (Cr) increase the strength of hot-formed parts by forming a solid solution with the pre-formed austenite grains during preheating. To reliably achieve this effect, the content of each Mo, Cr, Cu, and Ni is preferably set at 0.05% or higher. However, because the effect saturates even with higher concentrations of Mo, Cr, Cu, and Ni, the Mo, Cr, Cu, and Ni contents are preferably set at 1.0% or lower each.

[29] B: 0% to 0.0100% Boron (B) is an element that improves the hardenability of steel. To reliably achieve this effect, the B content is preferably set at 0.0001% or higher. However, even when the B content is set above 0.0100%, the effect on hardenability improvement is saturated. For this reason, the B content is typically set at 0.0100% or lower.

[30] Ca: 0% to 0.010% REM: 0% to 0.30% Calcium (Ca) and mineral spirits (MS) are elements that improve distortion capacity by suppressing the formation of an oxide that serves as the origin of fracture, thus enhancing the foldability of the hot-formed body. To reliably achieve this effect, the Ca and MS content is preferably set at 0.001% or higher. However, because the effect saturates even with a high concentration of Ca and MS, the Ca content is set at 0.010% or lower, and the MS content at 0.30% or lower.

[31] In this modality, REM refers to a total of 17 elements composed of Se, Y, and lanthanides and the content of REM refers to the total content of these elements.

[32] The aforementioned chemical composition of hot-formed steel sheet can be measured using ordinary analytical methods. For example, the chemical composition of the aforementioned hot-formed body can be measured using inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES). Carbon and sulfur can be measured using an infrared combustion absorption method, and nitrogen can be measured using an inert gas fusion thermal conductivity method. In cases where a plating layer is applied to the surface of the hot-formed steel sheet, the chemical composition can be analyzed after the plating layer is removed by mechanical grinding.

[33] The metallographic structure of the hot-stamped steel sheet for manufacturing the hot-stamped body according to the present modality by hot stamping will now be described. Hot stamping steel sheet has a metallographic structure consisting, by area, of 20% to 80% ferrite, granular bainite, bainite, and martensite, with the remainder comprising a microstructure of pearlite and a carbide. With respect to the metallographic structure described below, % indicates % by area in all cases.

[34] Ferrite, granular bainite, bainite, and martensite: 20% to 80% Ferrite, granular bainite, bainite, and martensite are structures necessary to achieve a desired texture in a hot-formed body. When the total area ratio of these structures is less than 20%, it is not possible to obtain a desired texture in the hot-formed body. For this reason, the ferrite area ratio is set at 20% or higher. The ferrite area ratio is preferably 30% or higher, or 40% or higher. On the other hand, when the area ratio of these structures is greater than 80%, the carbon is concentrated in the pearlite, which is the remaining material. This makes it difficult for a carbide to dissolve during the hot-forming heating process, and the carbide becomes the source of cracking during distortion. Consequently, the area ratio is set at 80% or lower. The area ratio is preferably 70% or lower, or 60% or lower.

[35] Remainder in the microstructure: Pearlite and carbide The remainder of the metallographic structure of hot-stamped steel sheet consists of pearlite and a carbide. Since the metallographic structure of hot-stamped steel sheet does not contain structures other than the aforementioned pearlite and carbide, the area ratio of the remainder in the microstructure can be established at 20% to 80%.

[36] Method for measuring the metallographic structure of hot stamping steel sheet A sample is cut from an arbitrary position 50 mm or more away from an extreme surface of the hot-forming steel sheet (a position that avoids an extreme portion in a case where the sample cannot be collected at that position) so that a cross-section of sheet thickness parallel to a rolling direction can be observed. The size of the sample also depends on a measuring device, but it is set to a size that allows observation for approximately 10 mm in the rolling direction.

[37] After polishing using silicon carbide paper with an abrasive grit of #600 to #1500, the cross-section of the sample is finished to a mirror surface using a liquid in which diamond powder with a grain size in the range of 1 µm to 6 µm is dispersed in a dilute solution of alcohol or similar solvent or pure water and polished to a finish using a colloidal silica solution. Analysis is then performed on a region 50 µm long, located between a depth corresponding to 1 / 8 of the sheet thickness from the surface and a depth corresponding to 3 / 8 of the sheet thickness from the surface at an arbitrary position in the cross-section of the sample in a longitudinal direction at an analysis rate of 200 to 300 points / second using an EBSD analyzer including a Schottky emission scanning electron microscope (JSM-7001F manufactured by JEOL Ltd.).and an EBSD detector (DVC 5 type detector manufactured by TSL Solutions). The area ratio of a region where the crystal structure is bcc is calculated using a phase map function installed in the OIM Analysis software (registered trademark) included in an EBSD analyzer, so the total area ratio of ferrite, granular bainite, bainite, and martensite can be obtained.

[38] Pearlite and carbide can be identified by the following method. After polishing using silicon carbide paper having an abrasive of #600 to #1500, the cross-section of the sample is finished to a mirror surface using a liquid in which diamond powder having a grain size in the range of 1 µm to 6 µm is dispersed in a dilute solution of alcohol or similar or pure water, and etched with Nital. Photographs having a plurality of fields of view are then taken using a Schottky emission scanning electron microscope (JSM-7001F manufactured by JEOL Ltd.) in a region that has a length of 50 µm and is present between a depth corresponding to 1 / 8 of the sheet thickness from the surface and a depth corresponding to 3 / 8 of the sheet thickness from the surface at an arbitrary position in the cross-section of the sample in a longitudinal direction.Uniformly spaced grids are drawn on the photographs, and structures are identified at the grid points. The number of grid points corresponding to each structure is calculated and divided by the total number of grid points, yielding the area ratio for that structure. The area ratio can be obtained more precisely as the total number of grid points increases. In this method, the grid spacing is set to 2 pm × 2 pm, and the total number of grid points is set to 1500. Particles with a bright luster are considered to be carbide, and a region where these lustrous particles are arranged in a sheet-like or granular form, as well as in a sheet-like form, is considered to be pearlite.

[39] The texture of the hot stamping steel sheet for making the hot stamped body according to the present modality by hot stamping will now be described. In hot stamping steel sheet, the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is less than 1.5 in the texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface, and the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is less than 2.0 in the texture between the position of 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position of 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface.

[40] The orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>{001} <-l-10> includes crystal orientations of {001} <1 ινΐΛ / a / zuzz / uii 1Ο>, {001} <1-20>, {001} <0-10>, and {001} <-1-10>. The orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> includes crystal orientations of {111} <l-10> , {111} <l-20>, {111} <0-10>, and {111} <-l-12>.

[41] Texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface: Ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <1-10> to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> which is less than 1.5 In the texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface (hereafter referred to as the surface layer region in some cases), the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is set to less than 1.5.

[42] When the texture in the surface layer region of the hot-forming steel sheet is preferably controlled, it is possible to suppress carbon recovery in the surface layer region (carbon diffusion from the interior region to the surface layer region having a low concentration of C) during heating for hot forming, and, when a texture is developed that readily relaxes the stress introduced by bending distortion in the surface layer region where the energy attributed to distortion is absorbed, such as in proximity to the surface of the steel sheet, it is possible to obtain a hot-forming steel sheet that has excellent pliability after hot forming.

[43] When the relationship between the density of poles of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>If the {111} <-l-12> of the texture in the surface layer region is 1.5 or more, the aforementioned effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, the relationship between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>The {111} <-l-12> of the texture in the surface layer region is set to less than 1.5. The ratio is preferably less than 1.2.

[44] The relationship between the density of poles of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>The {111} <-l-12> texture in the surface layer region can be set to 0.4 or more from the point of view of ensuring the strength of the hot-stamped body.

[45] Texture between the position of 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position of 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface: Ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> which is less than 2.0 In the texture between the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface (hereafter referred to as the interior region in some cases), the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is set to less than 2.0.

[46] When the texture in the interior region of the hot-forming steel sheet is preferably controlled, it is possible to develop a texture that includes grain boundaries that do not easily fracture in a region that resists a load, such as the near-interior of the steel sheet, and also improve load-bearing capacity while maintaining excellent pliability. When the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>If the {111} <-l-12> of the texture in the interior region is 2.0 or more, the aforementioned effect cannot be obtained. Therefore, the relationship between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>The {111} <-l-12> of the texture in the interior region is set to less than 2.0. The ratio is preferably less than 1.6.

[47] The relationship between the density of poles of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>a {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> of the texture in the interior region can be set to 0.4 or more from the point of view of ensuring toughness.

[48] ​​Method for measuring pole density The pole densities of the surface layer region and the interior region are measured using the following method. The pole densities of the surface layer region and the interior region can be obtained from an orientation distribution function (ODF) that displays a computationally calculated three-dimensional texture, using spherical harmonics, orientation data measured by an electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) method using a device in which a scanning electron microscope and an EBSD analyzer are combined, and OIM Analysis (registered trademark) manufactured by TSL Solutions.

[49] The measurement ranges are a region between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface (a region between the surface as the starting point and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness in the sheet thickness direction from the surface as the ending point) for the surface layer region and a region between the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface (a region between the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness in the sheet thickness direction from the surface as the starting point and the position 1 / 2 sheet thickness in the sheet thickness direction from the surface as the ending point) for the interior region. The measurement steps are set at 5 pm / stage.

[50] A value obtained by dividing the average value of the pole densities of the orientation group consisting of {001} <1-10> to {001} <-l-10> by the average value of the pole densities of the orientation group consisting of {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> is considered to be the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12>.

[51] It should be noted that {hkl} indicates a glass plane parallel to a laminated surface and <uvw>indicates a crystal direction parallel to a rolling direction. That is, {hkl} <uvw>indicates a crystal in which {hkl} is oriented in the normal direction to the sheet surface and <uvw>It is oriented in the direction of rolling.

[52] The hot-forming steel sheet mentioned above may have a plating layer on its surface. The plating layer provided on the surface makes it possible to improve corrosion resistance after hot-forming. Such plating layers include aluminum plating, aluminum-zinc plating, aluminum-silicon plating, hot-dip galvanizing, electrogalvanizing, hot-dip electroannealing, or similar coatings.

[53] decarburization index of hot stamping steel sheet that is 0.085 or more By controlling the decarburization index of hot-forming steel sheet, it is possible to promote the development of textures that include grain boundaries that do not easily fracture in load-bearing regions, such as the near-inner area of ​​the steel sheet. This also improves load-bearing capacity while maintaining excellent pliability. The decarburization index is preferably 0.140 or higher, and even more preferably 0.180 or higher. Due to the method used to calculate the decarburization index, the upper limit becomes 1.000.

[54] Method for measuring the decarburization index The decarburization index quantifies the amount of carbon reduced in the surface layer of the steel sheet and can be calculated using the following method. The concentration distribution of elements along the sheet thickness direction in the hot-forming steel sheet is measured using light discharge optical emission spectrometry (GD-OES). The measurement range is set to a depth of 200 pm from the outermost surface of the steel sheet, and the measurement intervals are set to 0.02 pm or less. All elements contained in the hot-forming steel sheet are measured.

[55] For steel sheets having a plating layer, coating film, or the like on the surface, part or all of the plating layer, coating, or the like is removed by mechanical or chemical polishing so that measurement becomes possible to a depth of 200 pm from the outermost surface of the steel sheet, and the GD-OES measurement is performed. In the GD-OES measurement, a region where the iron concentration becomes 90% by mass or more is determined to be the steel sheet, and a measurement point where the iron concentration becomes 90% by mass is defined as the position on the outermost surface of the steel sheet.

[56] Next, the average value of the measurement values ​​(1000 points or more) of the carbon concentration of the position of the outermost surface of the steel sheet at a depth of 180 pm to a depth of 200 pm is calculated, and this average value is considered to be the carbon concentration of the base metal of the steel sheet. Alternatively, with respect to the measurement value of the carbon concentration in a region of 20 pm from the deepest portion towards the surface layer, in a case where the absolute value of the difference between the average value of the carbon concentrations in the regions of 20 pm from the deepest portion towards the surface layer and the maximum value of the measurement values ​​of the carbon concentrations in the regions of 20 pm from the deepest portion towards the surface layer is 0.1% or less, and the absolute value of the difference between the average value of the carbon concentrations in the regions of 20 pm from the deepest portion towards the surface layer and the minimum value of the measurement values ​​of the carbon concentrations in the regions of 20 pm from the deepest portion towards the surface layer is 0.1% or less, the average value of carbon concentrations in the 20 pm regions from the deepest portion towards the surface layer can be considered as the carbon concentration of the base metal of the steel sheet. The unit depth is 20 pm, and the deepest portion refers to each deep position in a case where the positions are marked at each unit depth from the outermost surface of the steel sheet down to a depth of 200 pm. For example, in a case where the deepest portion is 120 pm, the carbon concentration measurement value in the 20 pm region from the deepest portion toward the surface layer means the carbon concentration at a measurement point that is between the 100 pm and 120 pm positions.

[57] The amount of carbon concentration decreased per unit depth (a value obtained by subtracting the carbon concentration at each measurement point from the carbon concentration of the base metal) is calculated from the position of the outermost surface of the steel sheet to the depth position of 200 pm, and the integrated value of the product of the unit depth and the amount of carbon concentration decreased is obtained and considered as the area of ​​a carbon-deficient region (area A). Then, the product of the carbon concentration of the base metal and 200 pm is considered as a reference area (area B), and a value obtained by dividing the carbon-deficient area (area A) by the reference area (area B) is considered as the decarburization index.

[58] The hot-formed body according to the present embodiment will now be described. The hot-formed body according to the present embodiment can be obtained by applying a manufacturing method to be described below to the hot-formed steel sheet described above. In the hot-formed body according to the present embodiment, the texture changes between the surface layer region and the interior region, thereby improving the foldability of the metallographic structure in the surface layer region, and one or more granular ferrite and bainite layers are formed to increase the ductility of the surface layer region.Specifically, in the surface layer region where the energy attributed to bending distortion is absorbed, a texture develops in which the stress introduced by bending distortion is easily relieved. In the interior region, which influences load-bearing capacity, a texture develops that includes grain boundaries that do not fracture easily. The chemical composition of the hot-formed body produced according to the present method is the same as the chemical composition of the hot-formed steel sheet described above and will therefore not be described again.

[59] The body formed by hot stamping according to the present modality has a metallographic structure consisting, in area ratio, of a total of 10% to 30% granular ferrite and bainite and the remainder in the microstructure consisting of one or more martensite, bainite and tempered martensite, the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is less than 1.8 in the texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface, and the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is less than 2.3 in the texture between the position of 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position of 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface. With respect to the metallographic structure to be described below, % indicates % by area in all cases.

[60] Granular ferrite and bainite: Total from 10% to 30% Ferrite and granular bainite are soft structures with excellent ductility. When the total area ratio of ferrite to granular bainite is less than 10%, the desired ductility cannot be achieved. Therefore, in the body formed by hot stamping according to the present method, the total area ratio of ferrite to granular bainite is set at 10% or more. The area ratio is preferably 15% or more, or 20% or more. Furthermore, when the total ferrite-to-bainite area ratio exceeds 30%, the desired strength cannot be achieved. Therefore, the total ferrite-to-bainite area ratio is set at 30% or less. Preferably, the area ratio is 27% or less, or 25% or less.

[61] In the present form, it may contain a total of 10% to 30% of granular ferrite and bainite or it may contain 10% to 30% of granular ferrite or bainite.

[62] Remainder in the microstructure: One or more of martensite, bainite, and tempered martensite The body formed by hot stamping according to the present embodiment has the remainder in the microstructure consisting of one or more layers of martensite, bainite, and tempered martensite. The area ratio of this remainder in the microstructure is preferably set at 70% or more in order to obtain a desired strength. The area ratio is preferably 73% or more or 75% or more. In addition, in order to obtain the desired ductility, the area ratio of this remainder in the microstructure may be set at 90% or less, 85% or less, or 80% or less.

[63] Method for measuring the area ratio of the metallographic structure A sample is cut from an arbitrary position 50 mm or more away from an extreme surface of the hot-formed body (a position that avoids an extreme portion in a case where the sample cannot be collected in that position) so that a cross-section of sheet thickness parallel to a rolling direction can be observed. The size of the sample also depends on a measuring device, but is set to a size that allows observation for approximately 10 mm in the rolling direction.

[64] After polishing using silicon carbide paper with an abrasive grit of #600 to #1500, the cross-section of the sample is finished to a mirror surface using a liquid in which diamond powder with a grain size in the range of 1 µm to 6 µm is dispersed in a dilute solution of alcohol or similar solvent or pure water. The sample is then polished for 8 minutes using colloidal silica containing no alkali solution at room temperature, thereby removing the stress introduced into the surface layer of the sample. A region, which is 50 µm long and located between a depth corresponding to 1 / 8 of the sheet thickness from the surface and a depth corresponding to 3 / 8 of the sheet thickness from the surface, is measured at a measurement interval of 0.1 pm at an arbitrary position in the cross-section of the sample in a longitudinal direction using an electron backscatter diffraction method, thus obtaining crystal orientation information. An EBSD analyzer consisting of a Schottky emission scanning electron microscope (JSM-7001F manufactured by JEOL Ltd.) and an EBSD detector (DVC 5 type detector manufactured by TSL Solutions) is used for the measurement. In this case, the vacuum level in the EBSD analyzer is set to 9.6 * 10⁻⁵ Pa or less, the accelerating voltage is set to 15 kV, the irradiation current level is set to 13, and the electron beam irradiation level is set to 62.

[65] A region where the crystal structure is bcc is specified using the obtained crystal orientation information and the phase map function of the OIM Analysis software (registered trademark) included in an EBSD analyzer. Regions where the crystal structure is bcc are determined to be martensite, bainite, tempered martensite, granular bainite, and ferrite. In these regions, areas where the average grain orientation misorientation value is greater than 3.0° are determined to be martensite, bainite, and tempered martensite using the average grain misorientation function of the OIM Analysis software (registered trademark) included in the EBSD analyzer, and the sum of these area ratios is calculated, thereby obtaining the total area ratio of martensite, bainite, and tempered martensite. Regions where the average grain misorientation value is 3.0° or less are determined as granular ferrite and bainite, and the total of these area ratios is calculated, thus obtaining the total area ratio of granular ferrite and bainite.

[66] Texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface: Ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> which is less than 1.8 In the texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface (surface layer region), when the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>If the ratio of the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <-l10> to {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> is less than 1.8, foldability can be improved. Consequently, in the surface layer region texture, the ratio of the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <1—10> to {001} <—1—10> to the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <-l-12> is less than 1.8. <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is set to less than 1.8. The ratio is preferably less than 1.7 or less than 1.6.

[67] The relationship between the density of poles of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>a {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> of the surface layer region texture can be set to 0.4 or more from the point of view of ensuring strength.

[68] Texture between the position of 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position of 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface: Ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> which is less than 2.3 In the texture between the position of 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position of 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface (interior region), when the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>If {111} <-l-12> is set to less than 2.3, ductility can be improved. Consequently, in the texture of the interior region, the relationship between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> is set to less than 2.3. The relation is preferably less than 2.2 or less than 2.1.

[69] The relationship between the density of poles of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <1-10> to {111} <-l-12> of the texture of the interior region can be set to 0.4 or more from the point of view of ensuring toughness.

[70] The pole densities of the surface layer region and the interior region can be measured using the same method as for hot-formed steel sheet. However, the rolling direction in the hot-formed body can be determined using the following method. First, a test piece is collected in such a way that the cross-section of the sheet thickness of the hot-stamped body can be observed. The cross-section of the collected sheet thickness sample is finished by mirror polishing and then observed using an optical microscope. The observation range is set to the overall thickness of the sheet, and a region where the gloss is dark is identified as an inclusion. Among inclusions, for those with a major axis length of 40 pm or more, a direction parallel to the direction in which the inclusion extends is determined to be the rolling direction.

[71] The body formed by hot stamping according to the present embodiment may have a plating layer on one surface. The plating layer provided on the surface makes it possible to improve corrosion resistance after hot stamping. Such plating layer includes, for example, an aluminum plating layer, an aluminum-zinc plating layer, an aluminum-silicon plating layer, a hot-dip galvanized layer, an electrogalvanized layer, a hot-dip electroannealed layer, or the like.

[72] decarburization index of the hot-formed body that is 0.085 or more By carefully controlling the decarburization index of the hot-formed body, it is possible to promote the development of a texture that includes grain boundaries that do not easily fracture in a load-bearing region, such as near the interior of the steel sheet. This also improves load-bearing capacity while maintaining excellent pliability. The decarburization index is preferably 0.140 or higher, and more preferably 0.180 or higher. Due to the method used to calculate the decarburization index, the upper limit becomes 1.000; however, to further improve load-bearing capacity while maintaining excellent pliability, the upper limit is preferably 0.500 or lower, and more preferably 0.040 or lower.

[73] The decarburization index of the hot-formed body can be measured by the same method as that for hot-formed steel sheet.

[74] Method of manufacturing steel sheet for hot stamping From now on, a preferred method of manufacturing hot stamping steel sheet for manufacturing the hot stamped body according to the present modality by hot stamping will be described.

[75] First, it is preferable that a casting be heated to 1200 °C or higher and held for 20 minutes or more, and then, in a hot rolling process, a roll that is one pass before a final roll is carried out in a temperature range of 850 °C to 900 °C with a roll reduction of 8% to 30%. The hot rolling is then preferably completed in a temperature range of 800 °C or higher and lower than 850 °C with a roll reduction of 6% to 12%. That is, the final roll of the hot roll is preferably carried out in a temperature range of 800 °C or higher and lower than 850 °C with a roll reduction of 6% to 12%.

[76] It is preferable that, after 2.5 seconds or more have elapsed since the end of hot rolling, cooling be carried out at an average cooling rate, in a temperature range from the final hot-rolling temperature down to 450 °C, of ​​less than 10 °C / s. After that, the hot-rolled steel sheet is preferably coiled at a temperature range of 700 °C or lower. Additionally, it is preferable that decarburizing annealing be performed, thereby producing a hot-forming steel sheet having the chemical composition described above.

[77] The present inventors found that a texture that improves bending distortion capability and load-bearing capacity after hot stamping is developed by the transformation of austenite, including a small amount of dislocation, to granular ferrite or bainite. Consequently, when the rolling one pass prior to the final rolling is carried out at less than 850 °C or at a rolling reduction of more than 30%, there is a case where the casting is finally rolled while the austenite dislocation remains unrecovered prior to the transformation, the transformation of austenite, including the dislocation, to ferrite occurs, and the development of a desired texture is impaired.

[78] On the other hand, when the rolling one pass before the final rolling is done at more than 900 °C or is done at a rolling reduction of less than 8%, there is a case where dislocation recovery is excessively promoted, the dislocation density in the austenite becomes too low, and a desired texture cannot be obtained. Therefore, the one-pass rolling before the final rolling in hot rolling is preferably carried out in a temperature range of 850 °C to 900 °C at a rolling reduction of 8% to 30%.

[79] When the final rolling is done at less than 800 °C or is done at a rolling reduction greater than 12%, there is a case where the casting is finally rolled while the austenite dislocation remains unrecovered before the transformation, the austenite transformation occurs which includes the dislocation to ferrite, and the development of a desired texture deteriorates.

[80] On the other hand, when the final rolling is done at 850 °C or higher or is done at a rolling reduction of less than 6%, there is a case where dislocation recovery is excessively promoted, and in this way the dislocation density in the austenite becomes too low, and a desired texture cannot be obtained. Therefore, the final rolling of hot rolling is preferably carried out in a temperature range of 800 °C or higher and lower than 850 °C at a rolling reduction of 6% to 12%.

[81] It is preferable to begin cooling after 2.5 seconds or more have elapsed since the end of hot rolling. When a time of 2.5 seconds or more is ensured before the start of cooling, the phase transformation to granular ferrite or bainite is promoted, and a desired texture can be sufficiently developed. When the elapsed time is less than 2.5 seconds, there is a case where a desired texture cannot be obtained.

[82] After 2.5 seconds or more have elapsed since the completion of hot rolling, when the average cooling rate over a temperature range from the final hot rolling temperature to 450 °C is established at less than 10 °C / s, the phase transformation to granular ferrite or bainite is promoted, and a desired texture can be sufficiently developed. When the average cooling rate over the above-described temperature range is 10 °C / s or greater, a desired texture cannot be obtained. The average cooling rate mentioned here is defined as a value obtained by dividing a temperature difference between the starting point and the ending point of a set range by the time elapsed from the starting point to the ending point.

[83] When the winding temperature is greater than 700 °C, there is a case where dislocation recovery is excessively promoted and a desired texture is not developed. Therefore, the winding temperature is preferably set at 700 °C or lower. Hot stamping steel sheet is obtained using the above method.

[84] It is preferable to perform decarburization annealing on the hot-forming steel sheet obtained by the above method. Before decarburization annealing, a softening heat treatment may be performed as required, and additionally, cold rolling may be carried out at a cumulative roll reduction (= {1 - (sheet thickness after cold rolling / sheet thickness before cold rolling)} × 100) of 30% to 70%. Plating may be performed on a decarburization annealing line, or a plating annealing line may be re-steered after the completion of decarburization annealing.Such as a plating layer imparted to the surface of hot-stamped steel sheet, an aluminum plating layer, an aluminum-zinc plating layer, an aluminum-silicon plating layer, a hot-dip galvanized layer, an electrogalvanized layer, a hot-dip electroannealed layer, or similar is an exemplary example.

[85] Decarburization annealing reduces the amount of carbon in the surface layer region of hot-forming steel sheet. Under decarburization annealing conditions, it is preferable that the atmosphere be humidified and contain hydrogen, nitrogen, or oxygen. The decarburization annealing temperature (the maximum achievable temperature of the steel sheet) is set at 700 °C to 950 °C, and the residence time in the temperature range of 700 °C to 950 °C is set at 5 seconds to 1200 seconds. The residence time mentioned here refers to the time from when the temperature of the steel sheet rises and reaches 700 °C until the temperature of the steel sheet, held between 700 °C and 950 °C, decreases and reaches 700 °C.

[86] When the maximum achievable temperature is less than 700 °C and the residence time in the temperature range of 700 °C to 950 °C is less than 5 seconds, because C diffusion is not sufficiently promoted, there is a case where decarburization does not occur and the texture of the surface layer region cannot be controlled. On the other hand, when the maximum achievable temperature is greater than 950 °C and the residence time in the temperature range of 700 °C to 950 °C is greater than 1200 seconds, there is a case where decarburization proceeds excessively and, in the texture of the surface layer region of the hot-formed steel sheet, the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> cannot be controlled at less than 1.5.

[87] A preferred method of manufacturing the hot-stamped body in accordance with the present embodiment using the hot-stamping steel sheet described above will now be described.

[88] First, it is preferable that the hot-forming steel sheet be heated and held at a temperature range of 800 °C to 1000 °C for 60 to 600 seconds. The average heating rate during heating can be set at 0.1 °C / second higher or 200 °C / second lower. The average heating rate mentioned here is a value obtained by dividing the temperature difference between the surface temperature of a steel sheet at the start of heating and a holding temperature by the time difference from the start of heating until the temperature reaches the holding temperature. Furthermore, during holding, the temperature of a steel sheet may fluctuate within the range of 800 °C to 1000 °C or it may remain constant.

[89] When the heating temperature is below 800 °C and the holding time is less than 60 seconds, there is a case where the dissolution of a carbide becomes impure and the remaining carbide acts as a starting point for cracking, degrading the foldability. When the heating temperature is above 1000 °C and the holding time is above 600 seconds, there is a case where the diffusion of C is excessively promoted, and the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> of the texture of the interior region cannot be set to less than 2.3.

[90] Exemplary examples of a heating method to ML / a / ZUZZ / U 1 I to be performed prior to hot stamping include heating using an electric oven, a gas oven, or similar, flame heating, energizing heating, high frequency heating, induction heating, and the like.

[91] After the steel sheet has been held within the temperature range described above, hot stamping is performed. In the method of manufacturing the hot-stamped body according to the present embodiment, the forming is preferably carried out at 300 °C or higher and lower than 650 °C. After hot stamping, it is preferable to cool the steel sheet to a temperature range of 300 °C or lower at a rate of 10 °C / s faster.

[92] In the hot-forming method of manufacturing the body according to the present embodiment, when the forming temperature is 650 °C or higher, the ratio of total ferrite to granular bainite area becomes less than 10%, and the desired ductility cannot be obtained. When the forming temperature is less than 300 °C, the forming load becomes too high, and there is a case where a die breaks.

[93] The hot-stamped body is obtained using the above method. After hot stamping, an annealing treatment can be carried out at 150 °C to 600 °C. In addition, a portion of the hot-stamped body can be tempered by laser irradiation or similar means to partially provide a softened region. EXAMPLES

[94] Examples of the present invention will now be described. The conditions in the examples are exemplary of the conditions adopted to confirm the feasibility and effect of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the exemplified conditions. The present invention is capable of adopting a variety of conditions, provided that the object of the present invention is achieved without departing from the essence of the present invention.

[95] Steel parts manufactured by casting molten steel having a chemical composition shown in Table 1-1 and Table 1-2 were held at a temperature of 1200°C or higher for 20 minutes or more, and then hot rolling, cold rolling, and decarburization annealing were performed under the conditions shown in Table 2-1 through Table 2-6. A softening heat treatment was performed prior to decarburization annealing as required. In addition, plating and plating annealing were performed as required. Accordingly, the hot-forming steel sheets shown in Table 3-1 through Table 3-3 were obtained.

[96] Hot stamping was performed on the obtained hot stamping steel sheet under the conditions shown in Tables 4-B1 to 4-B3, resulting in hot stamped parts. Some of the hot stamped parts underwent an annealing treatment at 150 °C to 600 °C after hot stamping. In addition, some of the hot stamped parts were partially irradiated with a laser, resulting in partially softened regions. Tables 5-B1 to 5-B3 show the microstructures and mechanical properties of the resulting hot stamped parts.

[97] The underlined values ​​in the tables indicate that the values ​​are outside the scope of the present invention, the preferred manufacturing conditions are not met, or the property values ​​are not preferred. Furthermore, the pole density ratio in the surface layer region texture in Table 5-B1 to Table 5-B3 indicates the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> in the texture between the surface and the position 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface, and the pole density ratio in the texture of the interior region indicates the ratio between the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {001} <l-10>to {001} <-l-10> and the pole density of the orientation group consisting of {111} <l-10>a {111} <-l-12> in the texture between the position of 1 / 4 sheet thickness from the surface and the position of 1 / 2 sheet thickness from the surface.

[98] The metallographic structures and textures of the hot-stamped steel sheet and hot-stamped bodies were measured using the measurement method described above. In addition, the mechanical properties of the hot-stamped body were evaluated using the following methods.

[99] Tensile strength and uniform elongation The tensile strength (maximum) and uniform elongation (uEl) of the hot-formed body were obtained by producing a test piece No. 5 from an arbitrary position of the hot-formed body in accordance with JIS Z 2241: 2011 and performing a tensile test. The crosshead speed was set to 3 mm / min.

[100] In a case where the tensile strength TS was 1500 MPa or more, the hot-formed body was determined to be acceptable due to its excellent strength, and, in a case where the tensile strength TS was less than 1500 MPa, the hot-formed body was determined to be unacceptable due to its poor strength. Furthermore, in a case where the product of the tensile strength TS and the uniform elongation uEl (TS x UuEl) was 6000 MPa-% or more, the hot-formed body was determined to be acceptable due to its excellent ductility, and, in a case where the product was less than 6000 MPa-%, the hot-formed body was determined to be unacceptable due to its poor ductility.

[101] Angle of bending The bending angle was evaluated using the following method based on the VDA standard (VDA238-100) specified by the Verband der Automobilindustrie. In the examples presented, the displacement under the maximum load obtained in a bending test was converted to an angle based on the VDA standard, thus obtaining the maximum bending angle α (°). In cases where the product (TS χ α) of the tensile strength TS and the maximum bending angle α obtained using the method described above was 75,000 MPa · ° or higher, the hot-formed body was deemed acceptable due to its excellent pliability. In cases where the product was less than 75,000 MPa · °, the hot-formed body was deemed unacceptable due to its poor pliability.

[102] The conditions in the flexural test were as described below. Dimensions of the test piece: 60 mm (rolling direction) * 30 mm (a direction parallel to a sheet width direction) Sheet thickness of the test piece: 1.6 mm Flexure flange: A direction parallel to a sheet width direction Test method: Supported by rollers and stamped by a punch Roller diameter: φ 30 mm Punch shape: Tip R = 0.4 mm Distance between rollers: 2.0 * sheet thickness (mm) + 0.5 mm Pressing speed: 20 mm / min Tester: SHIMADZU AUTOGRAPH 20 kN

[103] From Table 5-B1 to Table 5-B-3, it is found that the hot-formed bodies that were the examples of the present invention had excellent strength, foldability, and ductility. On the other hand, it is found that the hot-formed bodies that were the comparative examples were poor in one or more of these properties.
