Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to a high strength steel sheet, a method of producing the same, and a member.
  • Automotive steel sheets are required to have higher strength to improve fuel efficiency by reducing the weight of the automotive body.
  • High strength steel sheets with a tensile strength of 1180 MPa or higher are required for frame parts.
  • high bendability is required for steel sheets to be subjected to press working and formed into desired shapes.
  • the use of steel sheets with a high yield ratio is desirable for such automotive parts.
  • high toughness is required to ensure that automotive parts do not fracture in a collision.
  • JP5728108B discloses a high strength steel sheet with excellent formability and low-temperature toughness and a method of producing the same.
  • JP6597939B discloses a high strength steel sheet with excellent formability and anti-crash property, and a method of producing a high strength steel sheet with excellent formability and anti-crash property.
  • JP6700398B discloses a high yield ratio type high strength steel sheet and a method of producing the same.
  • high strength means that a tensile strength TS measured in accordance with JIS Z2241 is 1180 MPa or higher.

  • the galvannealed steel sheets were produced by adjusting the coating weight to 45 g/m 2 per surface, followed by alloying treatment at 520 °C for 40 seconds.
  • the resulting steel sheets were subjected to rolling and reheat treatment under the conditions presented in Table 2.
  • the total area ratio of martensite and bainite, the prior austenite grain size, the B concentration at the prior austenite grain boundary, the C concentration in the C-concentrated region at the martensitic grain boundary (mass%)/the C content in the steel (mass%), the concentration width of the C-concentrated region, and the length along the martensite grain boundary in the C-concentrated region were evaluated according to the above-described methods.
  • the tensile strength, yield ratio, toughness, and bendability were also evaluated according to the methods described below. The results are presented in Table 3.
  • the resulting steel sheets were subjected to a tensile test in accordance with JIS Z 2241.
  • JIS No. 5 tensile test specimens were taken having a longitudinal direction perpendicular to the rolling direction, and the tensile test was conducted to measure the tensile strength (TS) and yield stress (YS).
  • the tensile strength was considered good when the tensile strength TS was 1180 MPa or higher.
  • Charpy impact test was conducted in accordance with JIS Z 2242. From each resulting steel sheet, a test specimen with a width of 10 mm, a length of 55 mm, and a 90° V-notch with a notch depth of 2 mm at the center of the length was taken such that the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction of the steel sheet was a V-notching direction. The Charpy impact test was then conducted in a test temperature range of -120 °C to +120 °C. The transition curve was determined from the obtained percent brittle fracture, and the temperature at which the percent brittle fracture reaches 50 % was determined as a brittle-ductile transition temperature.
  • the toughness was considered good when the brittle-ductile transition temperature obtained from the Charpy test was -40 °C or lower.
  • brittle-ductile transition temperatures of -40 °C or lower were indicated as “Excellent” for toughness, and brittle-ductile transition temperatures exceeding -40 °C were indicated as “Poor” for toughness.
  • Bend test was conducted in accordance with JIS Z 2248. From each resulting steel sheet, a strip test specimen with a width of 30 mm and a length of 100 mm was taken such that the direction parallel to the rolling direction of the steel sheet was the axial direction in the bend test. Then, 90° V-bend test was conducted under a set of conditions including a pushing load of 100 kN and a pressing holding time of 5 seconds. The bendability was evaluated by the pass rate in the bend test. The bend test for five samples was conducted at the maximum R where R/t, the value obtained by dividing the bend radius (R) by the sheet thickness (t), is 5 or less (e.g., when the sheet thickness is 1.2 mm, the bend radius is 7.0 mm).
  • Table 3 presents that the examples each have a TS of 1180 MPa or higher, a yield ratio of 0.80 or higher, and excellent bendability and toughness. On the other hand, one or more of the TS, yield ratio, bendability, and toughness are poor in the comparative examples.
