Abstract
Disclosed herein are a method for producing a hot-rolled steel sheet, a method for producing a cold-rolled full hard steel sheet, and methods for producing a heat-treated steel sheet that serve as the methods for producing intermediate products for obtaining a steel sheet having a tensile strength of 590 MPa or more, a particular composition and a particular steel structure.
Claims5
A method for producing a hot-rolled steel sheet, the method comprising:
- heating a steel slab having a composition that contains, in terms of mass %
- C:
- 0.048% or more and 0.200% or less,
- Si:
- 0.40% or less,
- Mn:
- 1.50% or more and 3.00% or less,
- P:
- 0.001% or more and 0.100% or less,
- S:
- 0.0001% or more and 0.0200% or less,
- Al:
- 0.001% or more and 1.000% or less,
- N:
- 0.0005% or more and 0.0100% or less, and the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities;
- rough-rolling the heated steel slab;
- in subsequent finish-rolling, hot-rolling the rough-rolled steel slab under conditions of a finish-rolling inlet temperature of 1060° C. or higher and 1180° C. or lower, a rolling reduction in a final pass of the finish rolling of 5% or more and 15% or less, a rolling reduction in a pass before the final pass of 15% or more and 25% or less, and a finish-rolling delivery temperature of 800° C. or higher and 1000° C. or lower;
- after the hot-rolling, cooling the hot-rolled steel sheet under a condition of an average cooling rate of 5° C./s or more and 90° C./s or less;
- and coiling the cooled steel sheet under a condition of a coiling temperature of 300° C. or higher and 700° C. or lower;
- heating the coiled steel sheet under conditions of a maximum attained temperature of a T1 temperature or higher and a T2 temperature or lower and an average heating rate of 50° C./s or less in a temperature range of 450° C. to [T1 temperature−10° C.], wherein the T1 temperature is 770° C. and the T2 temperature is 855° C.;
- and
- after the heating, performing cooling and pickling to produce a product having a microstructure containing, in terms of area fraction, 20% or more of ferrite and 7% or more of martensite.
