A low carbon low
alloy duplex steel and hot dip galvanized duplex steel with tensile strength ≥ 980MPa and their rapid heat treatment manufacturing method, the
chemical composition of the steel is as follows in
mass percent: C: 0.05-0.17%, Si: 0.1-0.7%, Mn: 1.4-2.8%, P ≤ 0.020%, S ≤ 0.005%, B ≤ 0.005%, Al: 0.02-0.055%, and may further contain two or more of Nb, Ti, Cr, Mo, and V, and Cr + Mo + Ti + Nb + V ≤ 1.1%, with the balance being Fe and other unavoidable impurities. The manufacturing method includes
smelting,
casting, hot rolling, cold rolling, and rapid heat treatment steps. By controlling the rapid heating, short-time
holding time and rapid cooling processes in the rapid heat treatment process, the present invention changes the
recovery of the deformed structure, recrystallization and
austenite phase transformation processes, increases the
nucleation rate, shortens the
grain growth time, refines the grains, increases the strength of the material and expands the performance range of the material.
