Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Adopted are a hot-rolled steel sheet having a predetermined chemical composition, in which a region, where a rotation angle between a normal line of a surface and a (011) pole near the normal line becomes 5° or less, is 0.150 or less from the surface in terms of a sheet thickness direction position standardized by a sheet thickness, and a region, where the rotation angle becomes 20° or more, is 0.250 or more from the surface in terms of the sheet thickness direction position standardized by the sheet thickness and a manufacturing method thereof.

First claim

The invention claimed is: 1. A hot-rolled steel sheet comprising, as a chemical composition, by mass %: C: 0.060% to 0.170%; Si: 0.030% to 1.700%; Mn: 1.20% to 3.00%; Al: 0.010% to 0.700%; Nb: 0.005% to 0.050%; P: 0.0800% or less; S: 0.0100% or less; N: 0.0050% or less; Ti: 0% to 0.1800%; Mo: 0% to 0.150%; V: 0% to 0.3000%; Cr: 0% to 0.500%; B: 0% to 0.0030%; and a remainder consisting of Fe and an impurity, wherein, in metallographic structures at a ¼ position in a sheet thickness direction from a surface and at a ½ position in the sheet thickness direction from the surface, by vol %, bainite and martensite are a total of 80.0% or more, ferrite is 20.0% or less, and cementite and residual austenite are a total of 0% to 10.0%, in a metallographic structure of a region from the surface to a 100 μm position in the sheet thickness direction from the surface, an average grain diameter of prior austenite grains is less than 30.00 μm, a region, where a rotation angle between a normal line of the surface and a (011) pole near the normal line is 5° or less, is 0.150 or less from the surface in terms of a sheet thickness direction position standardized by a sheet thickness, a region, where the rotation angle between the normal line of the surface and the (011) pole near the normal line becomes 20° or more, is 0.250 or more from the surface in terms of the sheet thickness direction position standardized by the sheet thickness, and a tensile strength is 880 MPa or more. 2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , comprising, as the chemical composition, by mass %, one or more selected from the group of: Ti: 0.0200% to 0.1800%; Mo: 0.030% to 0.150%; V: 0.0500% to 0.3000%, Cr: 0.050% to 0.500%; and B: 0.0001% to 0.0030%. 3. A manufacturing method of the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , comprising: a casting step of, in continuous casting of a slab having the chemical composition according to claim 1 , performing the continuous casting in a manner that an average surface temperature gradient in a region from a meniscus to 1.0 m from the meniscus becomes 300 to 650° C./m to obtain the slab; a heating step of heating the slab to 1200° C. or higher and holding the slab for 30 minutes or longer; a hot rolling step of performing rough rolling on the slab, and performing finish rolling in a manner that a total rolling reduction in a temperature range of 870° C. to 980° C. becomes 80% or larger, an elapsed time between rolling stands in the temperature range of 870° C. to 980° C. becomes 0.3 to 5.0 seconds, and a total rolling reduction in a temperature range of lower than 870° C. becomes smaller than 10%; a cooling step of cooling for 30.0 seconds or shorter to cool to a temperature range of lower than 300° C. after the finish rolling; and a coiling step of, coiling in a manner that a coiling temperature becomes lower than 300° C. after the cooling. 4. The manufacturing method of the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 3 , further comprising: a heat treatment step of holding in a temperature range of 200° C. or higher and lower than 450° C. for 90 to 80000 seconds after the coiling. 5. A manufacturing method of the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 2 , comprising: a casting step of, in continuous casting of a slab having the chemical composition, performing the continuous casting in a manner that an average surface temperature gradient in a region from a meniscus to 1.0 m from the meniscus becomes 300 to 650° C./m to obtain the slab; a heating step of heating the slab to 1200° C. or higher and holding the slab for 30 minutes or longer; a hot rolling step of performing rough rolling on the slab, and performing finish rolling in a manner that a total rolling reduction in a temperature range of 870° C. to 980° C. becomes 80% or larger, an elapsed time between rolling stands in the temperature range of 870° C. to 980° C. becomes 0.3 to 5.0 seconds, and a total rolling reduction in a temperature range of lower than 870° C. becomes smaller than 10%; a cooling step of cooling for 30.0 seconds or shorter to cool to a temperature range of lower than 300° C. after the finish rolling; and a coiling step of, coiling in a manner that a coiling temperature becomes lower than 300° C. after the cooling. 6. A hot-rolled steel sheet comprising, as a chemical composition, by mass %: C: 0.060% to 0.170%; Si: 0.030% to 1.700%; Mn: 1.20% to 3.00%; Al: 0.010% to 0.700%; Nb: 0.005% to 0.050%; P: 0.0800% or less; S: 0.0100% or less; N: 0.0050% or less; Ti: 0% to 0.1800%; Mo: 0% to 0.150%; V: 0% to 0.3000%; Cr: 0% to 0.500%; B: 0% to 0.0030%; and a remainder comprising Fe and an impurity, wherein, in metallographic structures at a ¼ position in a sheet thickness direction from a surface and at a ½ position in the sheet thickness direction from the surface, by vol %, bainite and martensite are a total of 80.0% or more, ferrite is 20.0% or less, and cementite and residual austenite are a total of 0% to 10.0%, in a metallographic structure of a region from the surface to a 100 μm position in the sheet thickness direction from the surface, an average grain diameter of prior austenite grains is less than 30.00 μm, a region, where a rotation angle between a normal line of the surface and a (011) pole near the normal line is 5° or less, is 0.150 or less from the surface in terms of a sheet thickness direction position standardized by a sheet thickness, a region, where the rotation angle between the normal line of the surface and the (011) pole near the normal line becomes 20° or more, is 0.250 or more from the surface in terms of the sheet thickness direction position standardized by the sheet thickness, and a tensile strength is 880 MPa or more.
