Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A Si/Mn ratio of steel material components of a base material is not less than 0.27 nor more than 0.90 in mass ratio, an internal oxide layer having a thickness of not less than 1 μm nor more than 30 μm is provided right below an oxide scale of a steel sheet surface layer portion, and regarding the internal oxide layer, an internal oxide in a crystal grain of the internal oxide layer is an oxide containing Si and having a thickness of not less than 10 nm nor more than 200 nm in a crystal grain in a range of greater than 0% and 30% or less of a thickness of the internal oxide layer from an interface between the internal oxide layer and base iron toward a direction of the surface layer oxide scale, one or more branches of the internal oxide exist in a cross section of 1 μm×1 μm square, and in any crystal grain boundary having a length of 1 μm, one or more of the internal oxides in the crystal grain are connected to an internal oxide of the crystal grain boundary to form a net-like structure.

The invention claimed is: 1. A hot-rolled steel sheet, comprising: C: 0.05 mass % to 0.45 mass %; Si: 0.5 mass % to 3.0 mass %; Mn: 0.50 mass % to 3.60 mass %; P: 0.030 mass % or less; S: 0.010 mass % or less; Al: 0 mass % to 1.5 mass %; N: 0.010 mass % or less; O: 0.010 mass % or less; Ti: 0 mass % to 0.150 mass %; Nb: 0 mass % to 0.150 mass %; V: 0 mass % to 0.150 mass %; B: 0 mass % to 0.010 mass %; Mo: 0 mass % to 1.00 mass %; W: 0 mass % to 1.00 mass %; Cr: 0 mass % to 2.00 mass %; Ni: 0 mass % to 2.00 mass %; Cu: 0 mass % to 2.00 mass %; a total of one kind or two kinds or more selected from a group consisting of Ca, Ce, Zr, Hf, and REM: 0 mass % to 0.500 mass %; and the balance: iron and impurities, wherein: a Si/Mn ratio of steel material components of a base material of the steel sheet is not less than 0.27 nor more than 0.90 in mass ratio; an internal oxide layer having a thickness of not less than 1 um nor more than 30 um is provided right below an oxide scale of a steel sheet surface layer portion; and an internal oxide in a crystal grain existing in a region of greater than 0% and 30% or less of a thickness of the internal oxide layer from an interface between the internal oxide layer and base iron toward the surface layer oxide scale: contains Si and has a thickness of not less than 10 mu nor more than 200 nm; and forms a net-like structure in which one or more branches of the internal oxide exist in any 1 μm×1 μm square region of a cross section and an internal oxide at any crystal grain boundary with a length of 1 μm is connected to one or more of the internal oxides, and wherein the net-like structure is formed in a manner that e internal oxides are dispersed in substantially the entire area in the crystal grain. 2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the Si/Mn ratio of the steel material components of the base material is 0.70 or less in mass ratio. 3. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein in the internal oxide layer, an oxide (Fe x , Mn 1-x ) 2 SiO 4 (0≤x<1) whose x value decreases toward a center of the steel sheet, and an amorphous SiO 2 exist. 4. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein in the internal oxide layer, an oxide (Fe x , Mn 1-x ) 2 SiO 4 (0≤x<1) whose x value decreases toward a center of the steel sheet, and an amorphous SiO 2 exist. 5. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein in the internal oxide layer, the oxide containing Si and having the net-like structure exists in a range of greater than 0% and 50% or less of the thickness of the internal oxide layer from the interface between the internal oxide layer and the base iron toward the direction of the surface layer oxide scale. 6. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein in the internal oxide layer, the oxide containing Si and having the net-like structure exists in a range of greater than 0% and 50% or less of the thickness of the internal oxide layer from the interface between the internal oxide layer and the base iron toward the direction of the surface layer oxide scale. 7. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein in the internal oxide layer, the oxide containing Si and having the net-like structure exists in a range of greater than 0% and 50% or less of the thickness of the internal oxide layer from the interface between the internal oxide layer and the base iron toward the direction of the surface layer oxide scale. 8. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 4 , wherein in the internal oxide layer, the oxide containing Si and having the net-like structure exists in a range of greater than 0% and 50% or less of the thickness of the internal oxide layer from the interface between the internal oxide layer and the base iron toward the direction of the surface layer oxide scale.
