Description

galvanized steel sheet and method of manufacturing the same

[0001] The present invention relates to a plated steel sheet and a method for manufacturing the same.

[0002] Steel sheets can be exposed to various environments from the storage stage after manufacturing to the point where they are applied to and formed into products and used. Due to these external environments, oxidation and corrosion may occur, leading to a deterioration in the quality of the steel sheets. To prevent this, a plating layer can be formed on the surface of the steel sheet. This plating layer can provide a physical barrier against external oxygen, moisture, and salt, and the materials within the plating layer can act as an electrochemical sacrificial anode to prevent corrosion or oxidation of the steel sheet.

[0003] Various studies are being conducted to improve the quality of such galvanized steel sheets. In particular, Zn-Mg-Al galvanized steel sheets containing large amounts of Mg and Al, intended for further improvement in corrosion resistance, have limitations in their application as architectural exterior materials due to their poor surface appearance. Furthermore, they suffer from the disadvantage of poor linearity, making it difficult to secure aesthetically pleasing surface characteristics. Therefore, there is a need to develop technologies capable of improving the surface appearance of galvanized steel sheets.

[0041] The present invention will be described in detail below through examples. However, it should be noted that the following examples are intended merely to illustrate and embody the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. This is because the scope of the present invention is determined by the matters described in the patent claims and matters reasonably inferred therefrom.

[0042] [Galded Steel Sheet]

[0043] A plated steel sheet according to exemplary embodiments may include a base steel sheet and a plating layer.

[0044] Any steel suitable for manufacturing galvanized steel sheets may be used as the base steel sheet. To give a non-limiting example, the base steel sheet may be carbon steel containing a certain amount of carbon (C), and various steels such as stainless steel and aluminum sheets may be applied. As an example, if the base steel sheet is carbon steel, it may be ultra-low carbon steel, medium-low carbon steel, low carbon steel, general carbon steel, high carbon steel, etc., which are well known in the steel industry, and all of these can exhibit similar effects when used as the base steel sheet for alloy galvanized steel sheets. Therefore, the alloy composition of the carbon steel is not specifically limited. In particular, since there is almost no influence from elements such as manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), and boron (B), which are actively added to obtain carbon steel with high or ultra-high strength, no restrictions are placed on the alloy composition of the carbon steel.

[0045] The base steel sheet may be a hot-rolled steel sheet manufactured through a series of hot rolling processes, or it may be a cold-rolled steel sheet manufactured through a series of cold rolling processes on the hot-rolled steel sheet. Additionally, the cold-rolled steel sheet may be an annealed steel sheet that has undergone an annealing process performed after the cold rolling, or it may be an unanesthetized steel sheet that has not undergone the annealing process.

[0046] The plating layer may be located on the surface of the substrate steel sheet. As a result, the improvement of corrosion resistance may be contributed to by a sacrificial electrode method on the surface of the substrate steel sheet, but the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0047] As a non-limiting example, the thickness of the plating layer may be 10 to 50 μm. More specifically, the thickness of the plating layer may be 15 to 35 μm. In the present invention, the thickness of the plating layer refers to the average thickness. If the thickness of the plating layer is less than 10 μm, the plating layer may become excessively thin locally due to errors resulting from variations in the thickness of the plating layer, and corrosion resistance may be reduced as the plating layer may not naturally heal damage caused by external impact. If the thickness of the plating layer exceeds 50 μm, the cooling of the molten plating layer may be delayed, and there is a risk that solidification defects, such as flow patterns, may occur on the surface of the plating layer during the plating layer formation process. In addition, the time required to solidify the plating layer increases, which may reduce the productivity of the steel sheet.

[0048] According to exemplary embodiments, the plating layer may comprise, in weight percent, Mg: 4.0–10.0%, Al: 11.0–20.0%, Si: 0.10–0.50%, the remainder being Zn and unavoidable impurities. Additionally, the plating layer may further comprise Ca 0.200% or less (including 0%).

[0049] Magnesium (Mg): 4.0~10.0%

[0050] Magnesium (Mg) can contribute to improving the corrosion resistance of galvanized steel sheets. In particular, Mg within the plating layer leaches out in neutral, weakly acidic, or weakly alkaline corrosive environments such as saltwater or rainwater, forming LDH (Layered Double Hydroxide; (Zn,Mg)6Al2(OH)2) 16It can contribute to the uniform formation of (CO3)·4H2O). As this further contributes to the improvement of corrosion resistance, the Mg content may be 4.0% or more. More specifically, the Mg content may be 3.5% or more. More specifically, the Mg content may be 5.0% or more. However, in acidic corrosive environments, Mg leaching is too rapid, so if Mg is added excessively, there is a concern that corrosion resistance in acidic environments may deteriorate. In addition, if Mg is added excessively, there is a possibility that dross in the form of MgO may be generated in the plating bath. Therefore, the Mg content may be 10.0% or less. More specifically, the Mg content may be 0.07% or less. More specifically, the Mg content may be 6.0% or less.

[0051] Aluminum (Al): 11.0~20.0%

[0052] Aluminum (Al) is a component that improves corrosion resistance along with Mg. Since Al is resistant to acids, corrosion resistance in acidic conditions can significantly increase as the Al content increases. Additionally, Al has the effect of inhibiting the oxidation of Mg in the plating bath; therefore, the formation of MgO-based dross can be suppressed as the amount of Al added increases. Consequently, a relatively excess amount of Mg can be included, which can further contribute to the improvement of corrosion resistance. Thus, the Al content may be 11.0% or more. More specifically, the Al content may be 12.0% or more. Even more specifically, the Al content may be 14.0% or more. On the other hand, corrosiveness in alkaline environments may increase as the amount of Al added increases. Furthermore, if the amount of Al added is too high, excessive energy may be required to maintain the plating bath due to an excessive rise in the melting point. Additionally, there is a concern that the erosion of structures within the plating bath may intensify. In addition, if the Al content becomes excessive, the reaction between Al and Zn occurs rapidly, leading to the excessive formation of lump-shaped outburst phases, which may actually worsen corrosion resistance. In this regard, the Al content may be 20% or less. More specifically, the Al content may be 17.5% or less. Even more specifically, the Al content may be 16.0% or less.

[0053] Silicon (Si): 0.10~0.50%

[0054] Silicon (Si) can prevent the formation of Mg-based oxides by forming Mg2Si through a complex reaction with Mg. At this time, the generated Mg2Si phase can contribute to improving wear resistance, such as corrosion resistance and hardness, of the plated steel sheet. In addition, it can contribute to forming a plating layer with a beautiful surface by lowering the viscosity of the plating bath to improve fluidity and enhance wettability. To this end, the Si content may be 0.10% or more. More specifically, the Si content may be 0.15% or more. More specifically, the Si content may be 0.20% or more. However, if Si is added excessively to the plating layer, the temperature of the plating bath may rise excessively, which may reduce operability. Therefore, the Si content may be 0.50% or less. More specifically, the Si content may be 0.40% or less. More specifically, the Si content may be 0.30% or less.

[0055] Ca: 0.200% or less (including 0%)

[0056] Although it is not strictly necessary to add Ca, adding up to 0.200% can suppress the formation of MgO oxides in the plating bath. Additionally, since a small amount is sometimes added for ease of handling during the production of ingots for plating bath manufacturing, a small amount may be present in the plating bath produced from those ingots. However, if the amount of Ca added exceeds 0.200%, a problem may arise where the color of the steel sheet darkens. Therefore, the Ca content may be 0.200%. More specifically, the Ca content may be 0.180% or less.

[0057] In addition to the composition of the plating layer described above, the remainder may be Zn and other unavoidable impurities. The unavoidable impurities may include all those that may be unintentionally incorporated during the manufacturing process of conventional molten zinc-based or zinc alloy-based plated steel sheets, and since those skilled in the art can easily understand the meaning thereof, the present invention does not specifically limit them.

[0058] Optionally, according to exemplary embodiments, the plating layer may further comprise one or more of the following groups (a) to (h).

[0059] However, since the elements of each of the following groups are not essential for achieving the objectives of the present invention, the lower limit of their content is not restricted. Therefore, the lower limit of the content of each element may be 0%, even if not specifically mentioned below.

[0060] (a) Ni: 0.5% or less

[0061] (b) At least one of the following: La: 0.1% or less, Ce: 0.1% or less, Y: 0.1% or less, Sr: 1.0% or less

[0062] (c) Ti: 0.1% or less

[0063] (d) W: 0.5% or less

[0064] (e) Cu: 2.0% or less

[0065] (f) At least one of Cr: 0.5% or less, Mn: 0.5% or less, V: 0.5% or less

[0066] (g) B: 0.1% or less, P: 0.1% or less

[0067] (h) At least one of Sn: 1.0% or less, Sb: 1.0% or less, Bi: 1.0% or less

[0068] (a) Ni: 0.5% or less

[0069] Although Ni has the effect of preventing Fe diffusion by forming an Al-Ni alloy phase, if its content exceeds 0.5%, there may be a problem of excessive increase in auxiliary material costs.

[0070] (b) At least one of the following: La: 0.1% or less, Ce: 0.1% or less, Y: 0.1% or less, Sr: 1.0% or less

[0071] La, Ce, Y, and Sr have the effect of preventing Mg oxidation in the plating bath by forming an oxide film, but if their content exceeds 0.1%, 0.1%, 0.1%, and 1.0%, respectively, there may be a problem of increased Dross due to increased Ca oxide, and La, Ce, Y, and Sr may cause a problem of reduced plating performance due to increased viscosity of the plating bath.

[0072] (c) Ti: 0.1% or less

[0073] Although Ti acts as a nucleation site for Ti-Al intermetallic compounds and has a grain (spangle) refinement effect, if its content exceeds 0.1%, the melting point of the plating bath increases and there may be a problem with an increase in Dross.

[0074] (d) W: 0.5% or less

[0075] W forms W oxide on the surface, which improves corrosion resistance, but if the content exceeds 0.5%, there may be a problem where the melting point of the plating bath increases.

[0076] (e) Cu: 2.0% or less

[0077] Although Cu has the effect of lowering the hardness of the plating layer by forming an Al-Cu eutectic structure, if its content exceeds 2.0%, there may be a problem of spangles becoming coarse.

[0078] (f) At least one of Cr: 0.5% or less, Mn: 0.5% or less, V: 0.5% or less

[0079] Cr, Mn, and V have the effect of preventing electrode degradation by suppressing alloying between zinc and the welding electrode due to rapid liquid phase loss, but if their content exceeds 0.5%, 0.5%, and 0.5% respectively, there may be a problem where the melting point of the plating bath rises excessively.

[0080] (g) B: 0.1% or less, P: 0.1% or less

[0081] B and P have the effect of suppressing LME cracks in the weldment, but if their content exceeds 0.1% each, there may be a problem of increased Dross generation.

[0082] (h) At least one of Sn: 1.0% or less, Sb: 1.0% or less, Bi: 1.0% or less

[0083] Sn, Sb, and Bi have the effect of homogenizing spangles and improving pot durability by lowering the plating bath temperature, but if their content exceeds 1.0% each, there may be a problem with the coarsening of spangles.

[0084] According to exemplary embodiments, the surface of the plated steel sheet can satisfy an average surface roughness Ra: greater than 1.00㎛ and less than or equal to 1.50㎛, and Wsa: 0.30 to 0.50㎛.

[0085] Average surface roughness Ra: Greater than 1.00㎛ and less than or equal to 1.50㎛

[0086] When the above average surface roughness is 1.00㎛ or less, there is a high risk of the plating layer slipping during processing, and processability may deteriorate. On the other hand, when the average surface roughness exceeds 1.50㎛, the surface is rough, so the surface appearance may not be excellent. In addition, there is a concern that it may reduce linearity, making it difficult to apply as an exterior building material.

[0087] Accordingly, the average surface roughness Ra of the galvanized steel sheet can satisfy greater than 1.00㎛ and less than or equal to 1.50㎛. More specifically, the average surface roughness of the galvanized steel sheet can be 1.10 to 1.40㎛. Even more specifically, the average surface roughness of the galvanized steel sheet can be 1.20 to 1.30㎛.

[0088] Linearity Index Wsa: 0.30~0.50㎛

[0089] In the present invention, the linearity index Wsa value indicates how clearly an image reflected on the plating layer appears, and the linearity index Wsa value can affect the surface appearance characteristics of the plated steel sheet. As such, the present invention can further improve the surface appearance by controlling the linearity index within a specific range, in addition to the surface roughness. If the linearity index Wsa value is less than 0.30㎛, the degree of image clarity is too strong, making it unsuitable for use as an interior or exterior building material. On the other hand, if the linearity index Wsa value exceeds 0.50㎛, the surface shape appears inappropriate for image clarity, making it difficult to use as an exterior material. Therefore, the Wsa value of the surface of the plated steel sheet may be 0.30 to 0.50㎛, and more specifically, the Wsa value may be 0.35 to 0.45.

[0090] [Method for manufacturing galvanized steel sheets]

[0091] As described above, the galvanized steel sheets according to the exemplary embodiments have relatively high Mg and Al content. Although this improves corrosion resistance, it causes the roughness of the galvanized steel sheets to increase and reduces linearity, making it difficult to apply to architectural exteriors.

[0092] Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention, having conducted a thorough examination, discovered that by controlling the composition of the gas used to control the inlet temperature of the base steel sheet and the plating amount, not only the surface roughness but also the linearity of the plated steel sheet can be improved, and thus completed the present invention.

[0093] Hereinafter, the manufacturing method of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0094] According to exemplary embodiments, a method for manufacturing a plated steel sheet may include a step of plating; and a step of controlling the amount of plating.

[0095] plating step

[0096] The plating step may be a step of immersing the base steel plate in a plating bath.

[0097] Regarding the base steel sheet, one may refer to the description of the base steel sheet of the galvanized steel sheet described above. That is, the base steel sheet may be a hot-rolled steel sheet or a cold-rolled steel sheet, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

[0098] The plating bath may contain Mg: 4.0~10.0%, Al: 11.0~20.0%, Si: 0.10~0.50%, the remainder being Zn and unavoidable impurities. For a description of the plating bath composition, refer to the description of the plating layer composition described above. That is, the plating bath may further contain Ca at 0.200% or less (including 0%) and may further contain other additives.

[0099] To prepare a plating bath of the composition described above, as a non-limiting example, a composite ingot containing a predetermined amount of Zn, Al, and Mg, or a Zn-Mg or Zn-Al ingot containing individual components, may be used. To replenish the plating bath consumed by molten plating, the ingot may be additionally melted and supplied. In this case, a method of directly immersing the ingot in the plating bath to melt it may be chosen, or a method of melting the ingot in a separate pot and then replenishing the plating bath with the molten metal may be chosen.

[0100] According to exemplary embodiments, the plating step may satisfy the following relationship 1.

[0101] [Relationship 1]

[0102] (T B )℃ ≤ A ≤ (T B +50)℃

[0103] In the above relationship 1, T B is the temperature of the plating bath (°C), and A is the inlet temperature of the base steel sheet (°C).

[0104] The inlet temperature of the base steel plate is T BIf it is less than T, a problem may arise where the crystalline phase of the plating layer is not dense, and the inlet temperature of the base steel sheet is T B If it exceeds +50℃, plating adhesion may decrease. Therefore, the inlet temperature of the substrate steel sheet can satisfy the range of the above-described Equation 1, and more specifically, the range of the above Equation 1 is (T B )℃ to (T B It can be +30)℃. More specifically, the range of the above relationship 1 is, (T B +20)℃ to (T B It can be +10)℃.

[0105] According to exemplary embodiments, the temperature of the plating bath may be 450 to 510°C. More specifically, the temperature of the plating bath may be 450 to 510°C. Even more specifically, the temperature of the plating bath may be 460 to 500°C.

[0106] Step to control the plating amount

[0107] The step of controlling the plating amount may be a step of gas wiping after plating. That is, it may be a step of controlling the plating amount by spraying gas onto the surface of the plated steel sheet.

[0108] According to exemplary embodiments, a mixture of inert gas and air can be used for the gas wiping process. This allows for further improvement in the surface appearance and linearity of the plated steel sheet.

[0109] The mixed gas may comprise 1 to 5% air and the remainder being an inert gas in volume percent. If the air content is less than 1 volume percent, it may be difficult to improve the linearity of the steel sheet. On the other hand, if the air content exceeds 5 volume percent, it may cause uneven oxidation defects on the surface of the plating layer during the process of controlling the plating amount. Therefore, the air content of the mixed gas can be controlled to 1 to 5 volume percent. More specifically, the air content of the mixed gas can be controlled to 2 to 4 volume percent.

[0110] The residual inert gas may be any one of argon (Ar), nitrogen (N2), and mixtures thereof, although not specifically limited. More specifically, the residual inert gas may be nitrogen gas.

[0111] [Example]

[0112] The present invention will be explained in more detail below through examples. However, it should be noted that the following examples are intended only to illustrate and explain the present invention in more detail, and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0113] A plated steel sheet was obtained by plating a substrate steel sheet having the composition shown in Table 1 below under the conditions shown in Table 2 below and adjusting the plating amount.

[0118] Referring to Tables 1 to 3, in the case of Comparative Examples 1 to 5, one or more of the plating composition and manufacturing conditions specified in the present invention were not satisfied, so the surface roughness and linearity index Wsa fell outside the range proposed in the present invention, and as a result, the surface appearance of the plated steel sheets of Comparative Examples 1 to 5 was poor. On the other hand, in the case of Inventive Examples 1 to 9, excellent surface appearance quality and excellent linearity were exhibited as the plating composition and manufacturing conditions specified in the present invention were satisfied.

[0119] FIG. 1 is an image photograph showing the surfaces of (a) Invention Example 5 and (b) Comparative Example 5, respectively.

[0120] Figure 2 shows the results of comparing and evaluating the surface shape characteristics of (a) Invention Example 5 and (b) Comparative Example 5, respectively.

[0121] Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be seen that the aesthetic quality of Inventive Example 5 is superior to that of Comparative Example 5 in terms of surface quality appearance. Additionally, it can be seen that Comparative Example 5 has a higher surface roughness than Inventive Example 5, and that Comparative Example 5 has lower linearity than Inventive Example 5. Therefore, Inventive Example 5 can secure surface quality with excellent surface appearance and superior linearity.
