Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A high specific strength steel sheet and a method for manufacturing same are disclosed. The high specific strength steel sheet, which is an aspect of the present invention, is characterized in that an Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound having an average particle diameter of 20 μm or less is homogeneously dispersed in an austenite matrix, the volume fraction of the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound is 1 to 50%, and the volume fraction of κ-carbide ((Fe,Mn)3AlC) which is a perovskite carbide and has an L12 structure is 15% or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A high specific strength steel sheet comprising: an Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound in an austenite matrix in a volume fraction of 1% to 50%; and κ-carbide ((Fe,Mn) 3 AlC), a perovskite carbide having an L12 structure in the austenite matrix, in a volume fraction of 15% or less, wherein the high specific strength steel sheet comprises, by wt %, C: 0.01% to 2.0%, Si: 9.0% or less, Mn: 5.0% to 40.0%, P: 0.04% or less, S: 0.04% or less, Al: 4.0% to 20.0%, Ni: 0.3% to 20.0%, N: 0.001% to 0.05%, and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities, wherein if manganese (Mn) is included in an amount of 5.0% to less than 14.0%, carbon (C) is included in an amount of 0.6% or greater, and if manganese (Mn) is included in an amount of 14.0% to less than 20.0%, carbon (C) is included in an amount of 0.3% or greater, wherein the high specific strength steel sheet has a specific gravity of 7.47 Wee or less, a yield strength (YS) of 600 MPa or greater, a product (TS×TE) of ultimate tensile strength (TS) and total elongation (TE) within a range of 12,500 MPa % a or greater, and an average strain hardening rate calculated by (TS−YS)/UE (where UE refers to uniform elongation in percentage (%)) within a range of 8 MPa/% or greater, and wherein the high specific strength steel sheet comprises ferrite in a volume fraction of 5% or less. 2. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound is included in a volume fraction of 5% to 45%. 3. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the κ-carbide ((Fe,Mn) 3 AlC), a perovskite carbide having an L12 structure, is included in a volume fraction of 7% or less. 4. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound has granular form and an average grain diameter of 20 μm or less. 5. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound has granular form and has an average grain diameter of 2 μm or less. 6. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound has granular form and has an average grain diameter of 20 μm or less, or the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound has a band shape parallel to a rolling direction of the high specific strength steel sheet. 7. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 6 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound having a band shape parallel to the rolling direction of the high specific strength steel sheet is included in a volume fraction of 40% or less. 8. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 6 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound having a band shape parallel to the rolling direction of the high specific strength steel sheet has an average thickness of 40 μm or less, an average length of 500 μm or less, and an average width of 200 μm or less. 9. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the Fe—Al-based intermetallic compound has a B2 structure or a DO3 structure. 10. The high specific strength steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising, by wt %, at least one selected from the group consisting of Cr: 0.01% to 7.0%, Co: 0.01% to 15.0%, Cu: 0.01% to 15.0%, Ru: 0.01% to 15.0%, Rh: 0.01% to 15.0%, Pd: 0.01% to 15.0%, Ir: 0.01% to 15.0%, Pt: 0.01% to 15.0%, Au: 0.01% to 15.0%, Li: 0.001% to 3.0%, Sc: 0.005% to 3.0%, Ti: 0.005% to 3.0%, Sr: 0.005% to 3.0%, Y: 0.005% to 3.0%, Zr: 0.005% to 3.0%, Mo: 0.005% to 3.0%, Lu: 0.005% to 3.0%, Ta: 0.005% to 3.0%, a lanthanoid rare earth metal (REM): 0.005% to 3.0%, V: 0.005% to 1.0%, Nb: 0.005% to 1.0%, W: 0.01% to 5.0%, Ca: 0.001% to 0.02%, Mg: 0.0002% to 0.4%, and B: 0.0001% to 0.1%.
