AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

High-strength hot-dip galvanized steel sheets face challenges with hydrogen embrittlement and reduced bendability due to hydrogen penetration during manufacturing, leading to potential cracking in automobile components, which existing technologies do not adequately address.

Method used

A galvanized steel sheet with a specific microstructure and composition, including a base steel sheet with a high percentage of tempered martensite and controlled carbide size, and a galvanizing process that minimizes hydrogen retention, ensuring excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance and bendability.

Benefits of technology

The solution achieves a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, a yield ratio of 0.60 or more, and excellent hydrogen embrittlement resistance, reducing the risk of cracking and maintaining high bendability, making it suitable for automotive applications.

Abstract

DEPCT6915 / 01 / 2569 To provide techniques for producing galvanized steel sheets with a high yield ratio and capability. It exhibits high bending and high hydrogen brittleness resistance, with a TS of 980 megapascals. Or more and less than 1470 megapascals. Galvanized steel sheets have a steel microstructure with the following characteristics: In terms of area fractions, ferrite: less than 50%, martensite and bainite: all 50% or Furthermore, with 10% or less austenite remaining, martensite contains carbides. Average grain size of 50 nanometers or more, and 200 nanometers or less, 75% or Furthermore, the TM1 / TM2 ratio of the fraction by the area of ​​TM1 of the rehydrated martensite. The entire microstructure in the area extends from the surface to 1 / 8 of the sheet thickness per fraction. The TM2 region of the martensite is rehydrated across the entire microstructure in the 1 / 8 region. Up to 3 / 8 of the thickness of the sheet is 0.70 or more, and which has a galvanized layer on the surface. Of the above, the galvanized steel sheet has a TS980 megapascal or higher and less. 1470 megapascals and a yield ratio of 0.60 or more, and the amount of hydrogen that can be diffused. It is 0.45 parts per million by mass or less;
