Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a complex phase steel and a manufacturing method
thereof, in particular to a high hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
and manufacturing method thereof.
Background Art
[0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of the automotive industry, the market
and users have become more and more demanding for the lightweight of automobiles.
Lightweight has become the development trend of the automotive industry, and the proportion
of high-strength steel plates in automotive structural parts is also increasing.
[0003] In order to improve the strength, many car models use 80kg grade steel plates to
produce automobile chassis parts. However, the strength of the common complex phase
steel in the market cannot reach the level of 1000MPa. In the technical solutions
of disclosed patents, the tensile strength of most complex phase steel is at the level
of 800MPa.
[0004] Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of lightweight, the inventors expect
to further improve the strength of complex phase steel, so as to obtain a new 1000MPa
high hole expansion complex phase steel with higher strength and ultra-high hole expansion
ratio, which is also an inevitable trend in the development of complex phase steel
in the future.
[0005] It is found that there are some 1000MPa grade high hole expansion complex phase steels
in the prior art.
[0006] For example, the Chinese patent publication No.
CN106119702A, published on November 16, 2016, with the title of "a 980MPa grade hot-rolled high-strength high-hole expansion steel
and a manufacturing method thereof" discloses a 980MPa hot-rolled high-strength high-hole
expansion steel and its manufacturing method. Its chemical composition design is mainly
characterized by low-carbon V-Ti microalloying design, and the chemical composition
contains V element. The cost of the technical solution is relatively high, and the
use of B element is not considered.
[0007] For another example, Chinese Patent publication No.
CN114107797A, published on March 1, 2022, with a title of "A 980MPa grade bainite precipitation strengthened high-hole expansion
steel and a manufacturing method thereof" has disclosed a 980MPa grade bainite precipitation
strengthened high-hole expansion steel and a manufacturing method thereof. Its chemical
composition design is mainly characterized by low-carbon V-Ti microalloying design,
and the chemical composition contains V. The cost is relatively high and its structure
is bainite ferrite.
[0008] For still another example, Chinese Patent publication No.
CN113122769A, published on July 16, 2021, with a title of "Low-silicon low-carbon equivalent X-Gpa grade complex phase steel
plate/steel strip and a manufacturing method thereof" has disclosed a low-silicon
low-carbon equivalent X-Gpa grade complex phase steel plate/steel strip and a manufacturing
method thereof. It is designed with a low carbon content in its chemical composition,
while its structure contains ferrite and the coiling temperature after hot rolling
is relatively high.
[0009] To sum up, it can be seen that under normal circumstances, there is an inverse relationship
among the elongation, hole-expansion ratio and strength of the material. For this
reason, in order to obtain a 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex
phase steel plate with high strength, high hole expansion ratio and high elongation,
the present disclosure requires a good matching of alloying elements, phase transformation
law and microstructure during design.
Summary
[0010] The object of the present disclosure is to provide a 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion
hot-rolled complex phase steel plate. By reasonable chemical composition design of
the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate, good comprehensive
mechanical properties can be obtained. It has the characteristics of high strength
and high elongation as well as high hole expansion ratio. It can be used not only
for automobile body structural parts and automobile chassis parts, but also for other
applications that require high strength, weight reduction, etc., and has a good application
prospect.
[0011] In order to achieve the above object, the present disclosure provides a 1000MPa grade
high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate, which comprises Fe and unavoidable
impurity elements, as well as the following chemical elements in percentage by mass:
at least one of C: 0.07-0.15%, Si: 0.1-0.8%, Mn: 1.5-2.2%, Al: 0.02-0.1%, Ti: 0.05-0.18%,
Nb≤0.06%, B≤0.003%, and 0.2%≤Cr≤1.5%, 0.05%≤Mo≤0.5%;
wherein the mass percentages of N, Ti, Nb also satisfy: 0.01%≤(Ti-3.43N+0.52Nb)/4≤0.053%.
[0012] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate according to the present disclosure, the mass percentages of the various chemical
elements are:
at least one of C: 0.07-0.15%, Si: 0.1-0.8%, Mn: 1.5-2.2%, Al: 0.02-0.1%, Ti: 0.05-0.18%,
Nb≤0.06%, B≤0.003%, 0.2%≤Cr≤1.5% and 0.05%≤Mo≤0.5%;with a balance of Fe and unavoidable
impurity elements; preferably, 0.015%≤Nb≤0.06%;
wherein the mass percentages of N, Ti, Nb also satisfy: 0.01%≤(Ti-3.43N+0.52Nb)/4≤0.053%.
[0013] In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of
the present disclosure, the various chemical elements are designed according to the
following principles:
C: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of
the present disclosure, considering that the level of C content largely determines
the tensile strength level of the steel plate, C is used for solution strengthening.
At the same time, C can be combined with Nb and Ti to form sufficient precipitation
strengthening phase, which can ensure the strength of the steel. However, it should
be noted that the C content in the steel should not be too high. When the mass percentage
of C is too high, the carbide particles will be coarse, and too much martensite and
residual austenite will be easily formed, which is not conducive to the hole expansion
performance. Therefore, in order to obtain both high hole expansion ratio and good
forming and welding performance under the premise of ensuring the strength of the
steel grade, the mass percentage of C element is controlled in the range of 0.07-0.15%
in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the
present disclosure.
[0014] Si: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, Si can play a role in solution strengthening and improve
the strength of the steel plate. At the same time, the addition of Si, can increase
the work hardening rate and the uniform elongation under a given strength as well
as the total elongation, which is conducive to improving the elongation of the steel
plate. In addition, Si can also prevent the precipitation of carbides and reduce the
appearance of pearlite phases. However, it should be noted that the silicon contained
in the steel can easily lead to the surface defects of iron olivine (2FeO-SiO
2) iron oxide scale on the surface of the steel plate, which has a negative effect
on the surface quality. Therefore, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled
complex phase steel plate of the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Si element
is controlled in the range of 0.1-0.8%.
[0015] Mn: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, Mn is a solution-strengthening element. When the mass percentage
of Mn in the steel is low, it will lead to insufficient strength of the steel, but
when the mass percentage of Mn is too high, it will lead to the reduction of the plasticity
of the steel plate. In addition, Mn can also delay the pearlite transition, improve
the hardenability of the steel and reduce the bainite transition temperature, so as
to refine the sub-structure of the steel and ensure that a slat substructure is obtained,
so that the steel can have good formability under the premise of obtaining high tensile
strength. Therefore, considering the influence of Mn content on the properties of
the steel, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the mass percentage of Mn element is controlled in
the range of 1.5-2.2%.
[0016] Al: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, Al is a deoxidizing element in the steel. It can reduce
oxide inclusions in the steel, purify the steel, and help improve the formability
of the steel plate. However, it should be noted that the content of Al in the steel
should not be too high. When the mass percentage of Al in the steel is too high, oxidation
will occur, which will further affect the continuous casting production. Therefore,
considering the influence of Al element on the properties of the steel plate, in the
1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the present
disclosure, the mass percentage of Al is controlled in the range of 0.02-0.1%.
[0017] Ti: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate,
Ti is one of the important fine grain strengthening and precipitation-strengthening
elements, which can increase the recrystallization temperature and refine the grain
size of steel during the hot rolling process. At the same time, the combination of
Ti and C has a good strengthening effect. However, it should be noted that the content
of Ti in the steel should not be too high. When the content of Ti in the steel is
too high, it is easy to form TiN with large size, which is not good for the impact
toughness of the steel. Therefore, in order to bring into play the beneficial effects
of the Ti element, the mass percentage of the Ti element is controlled in the range
of 0.05-0.18% in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure.
[0018] Nb: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, Nb is one of the important precipitation-strengthening
and fine grain strengthening elements. But when the mass percentage of Nb is higher
than 0.06%, the strengthening effect of Nb is close to saturation and the cost is
high. Therefore, in order to bring into play the beneficial effect of Nb element and
control the production cost at the same time, in the present disclosure, the mass
percentage of the Nb element is controlled at Nb≤0.06%.
[0019] B: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, B is conducive to expanding the bainite phase zone and
ensuring that the bainite structure can be obtained in the post-rolling cooling of
the steel plate, which can significantly improve the strength and hardness of the
steel. However, it should be noted that the content of the B element in the steel
should not be too high, as too much B element will lead to too much massive martensite
structure in the steel plate, and cause a decrease in hole expansion ratio and elongation
of the steel. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the mass percentage of the B element
is controlled at B≤0.003%.
[0020] Correspondingly, in addition to the above-mentioned elements, in the 1000MPa grade
high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the present disclosure,
Cr and/or Mo elements can also be added to the steel. The Cr and Mo elements can be
used alone or in combination.
[0021] Cr: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, Cr is an element that inhibits the production of pearlite
and is beneficial to the formation of bainite structure, which can improve the strength
and hole expansion ratio of the steel. The inventors found that when the mass percentage
of Cr in the steel is less than 0.15%, its effect on the phase transformation curve
is not significant. When the mass percentage of Cr in the steel is too high, it will
not only lead to the increase of alloy cost, but also tend to produce more martensitic
structure. Therefore, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex
phase steel plate of the present disclosure, the mass percentage of the Cr element,
when added, is controlled in the range of 0.2%-1.5%.
[0022] Mo: In the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
of the present disclosure, Mo not only inhibits the production of pearlite, but also
facilitates the formation of bainite structure and a small number of martensite-austenite
islands. In addition, Mo can also promote bainite microstructure transformation at
a relatively high temperature, thus allowing the coiling of steel at a higher temperature,
which provides sufficient precipitation kinetics to stimulate significant precipitation
strengthening. In the present disclosure, Mo also plays a very important role in its
complex precipitation process with Nb and Ti, and at the same time, it can reduce
the possibility of precipitated particles having coarse particle size. However, it
should be noted that the content of Mo in the steel should not be too high. When the
content of Mo in the steel is too high, it will not only lead to the increase of alloy
cost, but also tend to form more martensite and austenite, which is not conducive
to the performance of the steel. Therefore, in order to bring into play the beneficial
effects of the Mo element, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex
phase steel plate of the present disclosure, the mass percentage content of the Mo
element, when added, is controlled in the range of 0.05%-0.5%.
[0023] In addition, it should be noted that in this technical solution designed in the present
disclosure, the inventor controls the mass percentage of a single chemical element
in the matrix while further controlling the mass percentage of N, Ti and Nb in the
steel plate to satisfy:
0.01%≤(Ti-3.43N+0.52Nb)/4≤0.053%, where N is the impurity element in the steel plate.
[0024] In the present disclosure, the inventors adopt the design of high Ti and high Nb,
which can mainly play the following three roles of grain refinement and one role of
precipitation strengthening: (1) in the process of slab heating, the precipitates
of Nb and Ti can prevent the growth of original austenite grains; (2) in the hot rolling
process, (Nb, Ti)(C, N) is conducive to increasing the recrystallization temperature
and further refining the austenite grains. (3) precipitated (Nb, Ti) (C, N) or (Nb,
Ti) (Mo, Cr) (C, N) is conducive to the refinement of phase transition bainite, as
well as a small number of martensitic grains; (4) in the process of laminar cooling,
nanoscale precipitates of (Nb, Ti) (C, N) or (Nb, Ti) (Mo, Cr) (C, N) can have a strong
precipitation-strengthening effect.
[0025] Therefore, in the present disclosure, in order to ensure the full precipitation of
Ti and Nb compounds, in addition to the design of C element which needs to be matched
with the content of Ti and Nb, it is also necessary to control the mass percentages
of N, Ti and Nb through a reasonable combination with Nb and Ti to satisfy "0.01%≤
(Ti-3.43N+0.52Nb)/4≤0.053%", and cooperate with the optimized design of the manufacturing
process. Then, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate having bainite grain size of :
56um can be obtained.
[0026] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, among the unavoidable impurity elements, P is :
50.02%, S is :
50.005%, N is :
50.005%.
[0027] In the above technical solution, P, Sand N are impurity elements in 1000MPa grade
high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the present disclosure.
If the technical conditions permit, in order to obtain the steel with better performance
and better quality, the content of impurity elements in the steel plate should be
reduced as much as possible.
[0028] Therefore, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the content of the P element is controlled at P:
50.02%, the content of the S element is controlled at S:
50.005%, and the content of the N element is controlled at N:
50.005%.
[0029] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the contents of Cr and Mo in the steel grade satisfy
one of the following:
- (1) when 0.2%:5Cr:50.7%, the mass percentage of Mo satisfies 0.2%:5Mo:50.35%;
- (2) when 0.7%<Cr=<1.0%, the mass percentage of Mo satisfies 0.05%:5Mo<0.2%;
- (3) when 1.0%<Cr=<1.5%, Mo is absent;
- (4) when 0.35%<Mo:50.5%, Cr is absent.
[0030] In the above technical solution of the present disclosure, in the design of chemical
composition, Cr and Mo elements can be used alone or in combination. The addition
of appropriate amount of Cr or Mo is to obtain bainite structure and martensite-austenite
islands in smaller size during the hot rolling and coiling process, so as to ensure
that there is no pearlite and massive martensite that affect the hole expansion performance.
[0031] Therefore, in order to further adapt to the designed manufacturing process and obtain
the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate with better
comprehensive mechanical performance, so as to meet the needs of users and markets,
the inventor has further optimized the design of Cr and Mo content in the steel. In
practical application, the Cr and Mo elements can be preferably added in any one of
the ratios designed in the above (1)-(4).
[0032] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the main body of the matrix of microstructure is
bainite, and there are nanoscale precipitates on the matrix.
[0033] In the present disclosure, there are nanoscale precipitates on the matrix of the
microstructure of the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate designed in the present disclosure. These microalloy nanoscale precipitates
include TiC, (Ti, Nb)C, and their specific precipitate sizes can be controlled at
3-20nm.
[0034] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, bainite has a volume fraction of ≥85%.
[0035] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the matrix of the microstructure further comprises
martensite and/or residual austenite. Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion
hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the present disclosure, the martensite and
residual austenite have a total volume fraction of :
51 5%.
[0036] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the nanoscale precipitates have a size of 3-20nm.
[0037] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the grain size of bainite is <_ 6um, and the grain
size of martensite and/or residual austenite is :
53um.
[0038] In some embodiments, the microstructure of the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion
hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the present disclosure contains martensite
with a volume fraction of 85~96% and martensite and residual austenite with a total
volume fraction of 4~15%, wherein the grain size of bainite is in the range of 3.2-5um,
and the grain size of martensite is in the range of 0.5-3um.
[0039] Further, in the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate of the present disclosure, the properties satisfy: a yield strength of ≥750MPa,
a tensile strength of 950-1150MPa, an elongation A50 of ≥12%, a punching hole expansion
ratio of ≥45%, a reaming hole expansion ratio of ≥65%.
[0040] In some embodiments, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate of the present disclosure has a yield strength of ≥780MPa. In some embodiments,
the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the
present disclosure has a yield strength of ≥800MPa. In some embodiments, the 1000MPa
grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of the present disclosure
has a yield strength of 750~960MPa.
[0041] In some embodiments, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate of the present disclosure has a tensile strength of 980~1150MPa.
[0042] In some embodiments, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate of the present disclosure has a punching hole expansion ratio of ≥50%.
In some embodiments, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate of the present disclosure has a punching hole expansion ratio of ≥55%.
[0043] In some embodiments, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate of the present disclosure has a reaming hole expansion ratio of ≥70%.
In some embodiments, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate of the present disclosure has a reaming hole expansion ratio of ≥75%.
[0044] Accordingly, another object of the present disclosure is to provide a manufacturing
method for the above 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel
plate. The 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate
obtained by this manufacturing method has the characteristics of high strength and
high elongation as well as high hole expansion ratio, and has a good application prospect.
[0045] To achieve the above purpose, the present disclosure provides a manufacturing method
for the above 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate,
comprising steps of:
- (1) smelting and casting;
- (2) hot-rolling: wherein the slab is heated to 1200-1300°C and held; then rolled,
wherein the rough rolling outlet temperature is 1000-1080°C and the final rolling
temperautre of finishing rolling is 840-950°C;
- (3) a two-stage laminar cooling is performed to water cool the steel plate to the
coiling temperature: wherein the average cooling rate in the first stage is ≥ 100°C/s,
the average cooling rate in the second stage is ≥3°C/s, the midpoint temperature between
the first stage cooling and the second stage cooling is bainite phase transition temperature
Bs±30°C, the threading rate is controlled at 7-12m/s, and the time for cooling from
the midpoint temperature to the coiling temperature is controlled at ≥ 4.5s, preferably
≥6s, and more preferably ≥6.5s, wherein
Bs=844-597xC+127xC2-92xMn+8xMn2-32xCr+2.2xCr2-42xMo, where each chemical element in the formula represents the value before the
percentage sign of the mass percentage of the corresponding chemical element;
- (4) coiling: the coiling temperature is controlled at 430-600°C, the steel after coiling
is cooled to room temperature at a cooling rate of ≤0.1°C/s;
- (5) pickling.
[0046] In the above technical solution of the present disclosure, in step (2), with respect
to the Ti-containing steel, the heating temperature of the slab is particularly important
for the performance, because Ti will form a large number of large-size precipitates
(Ti, Nb)(C, N) in the continuous casting process. The main purpose of setting the
heating temperature≥1200 °C is to maximize solid solution of Ti and other alloying
elements during the heating process, so as to ensure the nanoscale precipitation of
Ti and other microalloys in the subsequent hot-rolling and coiling process. However,
the heating temperature should not be too high. When the heating temperature exceeds
1300 °C, there will be a tendency of grain coarsening, which is not conducive to the
toughness of the steel plate. Therefore, in the hot rolling process of the present
disclosure, the heating temperature is preferably controlled in the range of 1200-1300
°C.
[0047] In addition, the rough rolling temperature control of the hot rolling process has
a great influence on Ti and other microalloys, and the precipitation of Ti carbides
and carbonitrides will occur at lower rough rolling temperature and during finishing
rolling process with larger precipitate size, which is not conducive to the improvement
of the final strength. But the precipitated (Nb, Ti) (C, N) is conducive to the refinement
of austenite grains. Therefore, in the hot rolling process of the present disclosure,
the rough rolling outlet temperature is controlled ate 1000-1080 °C. In some embodiments,
the rough rolling outlet temperature is controlled at 1050-1080°C. In some embodiments,
the final rolling temperature of finishing rolling is controlled at 880-950°C.
[0048] In addition, although the addition of Cr and/or Mo elements in the steel has inhibited
the formation of ferrite and pearlite, it is still easy to form massive secondary
martensite and residual austenite, which has a great influence on the volume fraction
of bainite phase transition during the hot-rolling and laminar cooling process in
step (3). Therefore, in the present disclosure, in order to obtain a suitable bainite
phase transition and a martensite-austenite island with smaller size, it is necessary
to control the laminar cooling time, cooling rate and threading rate in step (3).
In particular, the time for cooling from the midpoint temperature to the coiling temperature
is controlled at ≥4.5s, preferably ≥6.5s, the average cooling rate in the first section
before the midpoint temperature is ≥ 100°C/s, the average cooling rate after the midpoint
temperature is ≥3°C/s, and the threading rate is controlled at 7-12m/s.
[0049] It should be noted that in the present disclosure, it is also necessary to control
the bainite transition and the microalloy precipitation. When the coiling temperature
is too high, it will lead to more ferrite and secondary martensite and residual austenite
with larger size, which is not conducive to the improvement of hole expansion ratio.
When the coiling temperature is low, primary martensite microstructure may appear
and lead to low elongation of the steel. Therefore, in the present disclosure, the
coiling temperature is controlled in the range of 430-600 °C to solve the matching
problem of elongation and hole expansion ratio. Of course, in order to achieve better
implementation effects, the coiling temperature can be further controlled in the range
of 430-580°C.
[0050] Correspondingly, after coiling, cooling at a cooling rate of :
50.1 °C/s to room temperature can not only promote further transformation of bainite,
but also facilitate the tempering of martensite and further precipitation of microalloys,
which can effectively improve the strength, hole expansion ratio and elongation of
the steel.
[0051] In addition, it should be noted that the present disclosure does not have a special
limitation on the pickling process. But in some embodiments, during the actual pickling
process, the specific parameters are as follows: the stretching-bending straightening
elongation by pickling is controlled at 0.2-2%; the pickling speed is controlled at
60-150m/min, the temperature of the last pickling tank in the pickling process is
controlled at 80-90°C, the iron ion concentration is controlled at 30-40g/L, and the
final steel plate product is obtained after pickling.
[0052] Further, in the manufacturing method of the present disclosure, in step (2), the
total rolling reduction rate is controlled at ≥80%, and the total finishing rolling
reduction rate is controlled at ≥50%. Preferably, the total rolling reduction rate
is 90%-95%, and the total finishing rolling reduction rate is 85%-90%. Further preferably,
the thickness of the obtained finished steel plate is not more than 5mm.
[0053] Further, in the manufacturing method of the present disclosure, in step (2), the
holding time is 1~3 hours.
[0054] Further, in the manufacturing method of the present disclosure, in step (3), the
time for cooling from the midpoint temperature to the coiling temperature is controlled
at ≥8s.
[0055] Further, in the manufacturing method of the present disclosure, in step (3), the
average cooling rate in the first stage is 100~160°C/s, preferably 120~160°C/s.
[0056] Further, in the manufacturing method of the present disclosure, in step (3), the
average cooling rate in the second stage is 3~25°C/s, preferably 3~22°C/s.
[0057] Further, in the manufacturing method of the present disclosure, in step (4), the
coiling temperature is controlled at 430-580°C. In some embodiments, in step (4),
the coiling temperature is controlled at 430-550°C.
[0058] Compared with the prior art, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex
phase steel plate and manufacturing method thereof according to the present disclosure
have the following advantages and beneficial effects:
In the present disclosure, an economical and reasonable chemical composition design
is adopted. At the same time, cooperated with the existing hot continuous rolling
production line, a new type of 1000MPa grade high hole expansion hot rolled complex
phase steel plate with ultra-high strength and hole expansion ratio can be produced.
[0059] The 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate prepared
in the present disclosure has characteristics of relatively high hole expansion ratio,
high strength and high formability with a yield strength of ≥750MPa, a tensile strength
of 950-1150MPa, an elongation A50 of >_12°i
o, a punching hole expansion ratio of ≥45% and a reaming hole expansion ratio of ≥65%.
It can be used not only for automobile body structural parts and automobile chassis
parts, but also for other applications that require high strength, weight reduction,
etc., and has a good application prospect.

[0064] The 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of Examples
1-13 of the present disclosure and the comparative steel plates of Comparative Examples
1-11 were all prepared with the following steps:
- (1) The chemical compositions shown in Table 1-1 and 1-2 were smelted and casted.
- (2) hot-rolling: the slab obtained by smelting and continuous casting was heated to
1200-1300°C and held for 1-3 h; then rolled, wherein the rough rolling outlet temperature
was controlled at 1000-1080°C and the final rolling temperautre of finishing rolling
was controlled at 840-950°C; wherein the total rolling reductaion rate was ≥80%, the
total finishing rolling reduction rate was ≥50%.
- (3) after finish rolling, two-stage laminar cooling was performed to water cool the
steel plate to the coiling temperature: wherein the average cooling rate in the first
stage was >_ 100°C/s, the average cooling rate in the second stage was >_3°C/s, the
midpoint temperature between the first stage cooling and the second stage cooling
was bainite phase transition temperature Bs±30°C, the threading rate was controlled
at 7-12m/s, and the time for cooling from the midpoint temperature to the coiling
temperature was controlled at ≥ 4.5s, preferably the time for cooling from the midpoint
temperature to the coiling temperature was controlled at ≥6s.
- (4) coiling: the steel plate after water cooling was coiled, wherein the coiling temperature
was controlled at 430-600°C, preferably 430-580°C; the steel plate after coiling was
cooled to room temperature at a cooling rate of ≤0.1 OC/s.
- (5) pickling: the stretching-bending straightening elongation by pickling was controlled
at 0.2-2%; the pickling speed was controlled at 60-150m/min, the temperature of the
last pickling tank in the pickling process was controlled at 80-90°C, the iron ion
concentration was controlled at 30-40g/L, and the steel plate with a thickness of
:55mm was obtained after pickling.
[0065] In the present disclosure, the chemical compositions designed for the 1000MPa grade
high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate in Examples 1-13 and the
relevant process all meet the specification requirements designed according to the
present disclosure. Although the comparative steel plates of Comparative Examples
1-11 were also prepared according to the above steps (1)-(5), there are parameters
that do not meet the design requirements of the present disclosure in the chemical
composition design and/or relevant manufacturing process of the comparative steel
plates of Comparative Examples 1-11.
[0066] Table 2-1 and Table 2-2 list the specific process parameters for the 1000MPa grade
high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of Examples 1-13 and the
comparative steel plates of Comparative Examples 1-11.

[0069] It can be seen through observation that in the present disclosure, the matrix of
the microstructure of the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase
steel plate prepared in Examples 1-13 is bainite + a small amount of martensite and
residual austenite. The volume fraction of bainite is in the range of 85%-96%, the
volume fraction of martensite and/or residual austenite is in the range of 4-15%,
the grain size of bainite is in the range of 3.2-5um, and the grain size of martensite
is in the range of 0.5-3um.
[0070] It should be noted that, in the actual preparation, the matrix of the 1000MPa grade
high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of Example 1-13 also has
nanoscale precipitates thereon, which include TiC, (Ti, Nb)C, and the diameter of
the nanoscale precipitates is in the range of 3-20nm.
[0071] Correspondingly, after the analysis of the microstructure, the products of the 1000MPa
grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of Examples 1-13 and
the comparative steel plates of Comparative Examples 1-11 prepared by the above process
steps were sampled respectively, and the mechanical properties of the steel plate
of each Example and Comparative Example were tested, and the relevant mechanical properties
test results are listed in Table 4 below.
[0072] The methods for testing the relevant properties are as follows:
- (1) Tensile property test: a JIS 5# stretched specimen along the longitudinal direction
was taken and a tensile test was conducted in accordance with the standard of GB/T 228.1-2010 "Metallic materials-tensile testing-Part 1: Method of test at room temperature" to
test the yield strength, tensile strength and elongation of the steel plate in each
Example and Comparative Example.
- (2) Hole expansion test: the hole expansion ratio was measured by the hole expansion
test. The specimen with a hole in the center was pressed into the die with a punch,
so that the center hole of the specimen was expanded until necking or through cracks
appeared on the edge of the plate hole. Since the preparation method of the original
hole in the center of the specimen had a great influence on the test results of the
hole expansion ratio, the original hole in the center of the specimen was prepared
by punching and reaming, respectively. The subsequent tests and test methods were
carried out according to the hole expansion test method specified in the ISO/DIS 16630
standard, and the test results are shown in Table 4.
[0073] Table 4 lists the mechanical property test results of the 1000MPa grade high-hole
expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plate of Examples 1-13 and the comparative
steel plates of Comparative Examples 1-11.

[0074] As shown in Table 4, compared with the comparative steel plates of Comparative Examples
1-11, the 1000MPa-grade high hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plates
of Examples 1-13 according to the present disclosure have more excellent comprehensive
mechanical properties.
[0075] In the present disclosure, Examples 1-13 adopted reasonable ratios of Cr, Mo in Table
1-1 and Table 1-2, with the addition of Ti and Nb at the same time to increase the
precipitation strengthening effect in the annealing process, and also satisfied the
hot rolling process of Table 2-1 and Table 2-2. The finally obtained products of the
1000MPa-grade high hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plates of Examples
1-13 have the microstructure shown in Table 3.
[0076] Referring to Table 4, it can be seen that in the present embodiment, the 1000MPa-grade
high hole expansion hot-rolled complex phase steel plates designed in Examples 1-13
have the yield strength of 755-953MPa, the tensile strength of 982-1150MPa, the elongation
A50 of 12-18.5%, the punching hole expansion ratio of 45-65%, and the reaming hole
expansion ratio of 65-81 %.
[0077] Compared with Examples 1-5, Comparative Examples 1-2 used the same steel grade A,
but different coiling temperatures after hot-rolling . Among them, a lower coiling
temperature selected as 380°C was used for Comparative Example 1 and the martensite
content in the final microstructure reached 80%, which ultimately led to higher tensile
strength and lower elongation. In contrast, a higher coiling temperature selected
as 620°C was used for Comparative Example 2 and the ferrite content in the microstructure
was low, resulting in a low bainite content and insufficient tensile strength of the
steel.
[0078] Compared with Examples 6-8, Comparative Examples 3-6 used the same steel grade B,
but their process did not satisfy the design requirement. Among them, due to the low
midpoint temperature of Comparative Example 3, the time for cooling from the midpoint
temperature to the coiling temperature in the laminar cooling process was shorter
and the bainite phase transformation in the laminar cooling process was insufficient,
resulting in a large proportion of the phase transformation of supercooled austenite
in the coiling process and higher martensite content in the final microstructure.
The elongation and hole expansion ratio of the obtained comparative steel are relatively
low.
[0079] In Comparative Example 4, due to the low total finishing rolling reduction rate,
only 20%, its recrystallization was insufficient, resulting in relatively coarse grains,
and relatively low elongation and hole expansion ratio. In Comparative Example 5,
due to the fact that in the hot rolling process of step (2), the rough rolling outlet
temperature and the final rolling temperature of finishing rolling were low, coarser
microalloy particles had precipitated during the rolling process and the contribution
to the strength was not obvious, which ultimately led to insufficient tensile strength
of the steel. In Comparative Example 6, because the heating temperature used in the
hot rolling process of step (2) was low, only 1120 °C, it resulted in insufficient
Nb and Ti contents, and the coarse (Ti, Nb) (C, N) particles were not completely solidly
dissolved in the solid solution continuous casting process. Since its contribution
to the strength was small, the tensile strength of the steel plate was insufficient.
[0080] Compared with Example 9, Comparative Example 7 used the same steel grade C. But in
Comparative Example 7, the cooling rate after hot-rolling and coiling being 0.2 °C/s
was too fast, it resulted in more martensite phase transformation and less bainite
phase transformation in supercooled austenite after coiling, which ultimately led
to lower elongation and hole expansion ratio of the steel.
[0081] Different from the above Comparative Examples 1-7, the final steels in Comparative
Example 8-11 had poor performance because the chemical composition did not meet the
requirements of the present disclosure.
[0082] In Comparative Example 8, due to the unreasonable ratio of Cr and Mo in the steel,
the bainite phase transformation was low and the martensite and residual austenite
phase transformation was high, which contributed more to the strength, but reduced
the elongation and hole expansion ratio.
[0083] In Comparative Example 9, due to the low Ti content in the steel, the precipitation
strengthening effect produced therein was weak and the contribution to the strength
of the steel was small, resulting in insufficient strength of the final steel plate.
[0084] In Comparative Example 10, due to the high N content in the steel, a large amount
of Ti was consumed, resulting in the precipitation of a large amount of massive TiN.
The contribution of 5-20um TiN to the strength was small, which reduced the strength
of the steel plate.
[0085] In Comparative Example 11, due to the low content of C and Mn in the steel, the solid
solution strengthening and bainite phase transformation strengthening effects produced
therein are weak, resulting in lower strength of the final steel plate.
[0086] Fig. 1 is a metallographic structure photograph of the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion
hot-rolled complex phase steel plate in Example 3.
[0087] As shown in Fig.1, in the embodiment, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled
complex phase steel plate in Example 3 has a microstructure of 92% bainite + 8% martensite
and residual austenite, wherein the grain size of bainite is 4.3 um and the grain
size of martensite and residual austenite is in the range of 0.5-2um.

hot-rolled complex phase steel plate in Example 5.
[0089] As shown in Fig.2, in the embodiment, the 1000MPa grade high-hole expansion hot-rolled
complex phase steel plate in Example 5 has a microstructure of 85% bainite + 15% martensite
and residual austenite, wherein the grain size of bainite is 5.0 um and the grain
size of martensite and residual austenite is in the range of 0.5-3 um.

Example 6.

6 has a microstructure of 20% bainite + 80% martensite, wherein the grain size of
bainite is 3.0 um and the grain size of martensite is >3um.
