Abstract

The present invention provides a high-strength steel sheet excellent in impact resistance. The high-strength steel sheet contains predetermined contents of C, Si, Mn, P, S, Al, Ti, N, and O, with the balance being iron and inevitable impurities, and has a steel sheet structure in which, in a ⅛ thickness to ⅜ thickness region across ¼ of a sheet thickness, 1 to 8% retained austenite is contained in volume fraction, an average aspect ratio of the retained austenite is 2.0 or less, an amount of solid-solution Mn in the retained austenite is 1.1 times an average amount of Mn or more, and TiN grains having a 0.5 μm average grain diameter or less are contained, and a density of AlN grains with a 1 μm grain diameter or more is 1.0 pieces/mm2 or less, wherein a maximum tensile strength is 900 MPa or more.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A high-strength steel sheet containing, in mass %,
C: 0.075 to 0.300%,
Si: 0.30 to 2.50%,
Mn: 1.30 to 3.50%,
P: 0.001 to 0.050%,
S: 0.0001 to 0.0050%,
Al: 0.001 to 0.050%,
Ti: 0.0010 to 0.0150%,
N: 0.0001 to 0.0050%, and
O: 0.0001 to 0.0030%,
with the balance being iron and inevitable impurities, and
having a steel sheet structure wherein a volume fraction of retained austenite is 1 to 8%, an average aspect ratio of the retained austenite is 2.0 or less, and an amount of solid-solution Mn in the retained austenite is at least 1.1 times an average amount of Mn in the steel sheet, wherein the steel sheet structure comprises TiN grains having an average grain diameter of 0.5 μm or less, and wherein a density of AlN grains with a grain diameter of 1 μm or more in the steel sheet structure is 1.0 grain/mm 2 or less, and
wherein a tensile strength of the steel sheet is 900 MPa or more.

2. The high-strength steel sheet according to claim 1 ,
wherein: the steel sheet structure further contains, in volume fraction, 10 to 75% ferrite, a total of 10 to 50% of one or both of bainitic ferrite and bainite, combined, and 10 to 50% tempered martensite, and
wherein pearlite is limited to 5% or less in volume fraction, and fresh martensite is limited to 15% or less in volume fraction.

3. The high-strength steel sheet according to claim 1 , further containing, in mass %, one or two or more of
Nb: 0.0010 to 0.0150%,
V: 0.010 to 0.150%,
B: 0.0001 to 0.0100%,
Cr: 0.01 to 2.00%,
Ni: 0.01 to 2.00%,
Cu: 0.01 to 2.00%,
Mo: 0.01 to 1.00%, and
W: 0.01 to 1.00%, and/or
in total 0.0001 to 0.5000 mass % of one or two or more of Ca, Ce, Mg, Zr, Hf, and REM.

4. The high-strength galvanized steel according to claim 1 , wherein a galvanized layer is formed on a surface.

5. The high-strength galvanized steel sheet according to claim 4 , wherein a coating film made of a phosphorus oxide and/or a composite oxide containing phosphorus is formed on the surface of the galvanized layer.

6. A manufacturing method of the high-strength steel sheet of claim 1 , the method comprising:
a hot-rolling step in which a slab containing, in mass %,
C: 0.075 to 0.300%,
Si: 0.30 to 2.50%,
Mn: 1.30 to 3.50%,
P: 0.001 to 0.050%,
S: 0.0001 to 0.0050%,
Al: 0.001 to 0.050%,
Ti: 0.0010 to 0.0150%,
N: 0.0001 to 0.0050%, and
O: 0.0001 to 0.0030%,
with the balance being iron and inevitable impurities

is heated to 1210° C. or higher, reduction is performed under a condition satisfying the following (Expression 1) at least in a temperature range of 1100 to 1000° C., the reduction is finished at a finish hot-rolling temperature that is not lower than a higher temperature of 800° C. and an Ar 3 transformation point nor higher than 970° C., coiling is performed in a temperature region of 750° C. or lower, and cooling is performed at an average cooling rate of 15° C./hour or less;
