摘要:
Disclosed is a thick hot-rolled steel sheet which has a tensile strength of 440 to 640 MPa, preferably 490 to 590 MPa, an elongation of 20% or more, excellent uniformity in the thickness-wise direction, high strength, excellent processability, and excellent strength/toughness after a thermal treatment, and is therefore suitable for use as a structural member for an automobile, a construction machine or the like. Also disclosed is a method for producing the steel sheet. A steel material is provided, which contains 0.10 to 0.20% of C, in which the contents of Si, Mn, Al, P, S and N are adjusted within proper ranges, and which further contains 0.01 to 0.15% of Ti and 0.0010 to 0.0050% of B. The steel material is subj ected to the hot-rolling under the conditions of a rolling finishing temperature for the fmish rolling of 820 to 880°C. The resulting product is cooled at a cooling rate of 15 to 50°C/s and a cooling finishing temperature of 500 to 600°C, and is then wound-up in a coli-like shape. In this manner, the steel sheet can have a structure which is uniform in the thickness-wise direction and is composed of a bainitic ferrite phase. The steel sheet has excellent uniformity in the thickness-wise direction so that the fluctuation in the hardness in the thickness-wise direction falls within the range up to 10% above or below the average value, and has a tensile strength of 440 to 640 MPa and an elongation of 20% or more. The steel sheet may be subjected to a further thermal treatment, thereby producing a highly-strong, highly-tough, thick and large-sized structural member having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more and a vTrs of -60°C or lower.
摘要:
A thin alloy sheet having a low thermal expansion which has a substantial chemical composition in mass %: Ni: 35.0 to 37.0 %, Mn: 0.01 to 0.09 %, Si: 0.01 to 0.04 %, Al: 0.01 to 0.04 % and balance: Fe, with the proviso that Mn/S is 20 to 300 and Mn + Si + Al ≤ 0.15 %, and has an average thermal expansion coefficient in the range of 20 to 100˚C of 1.0 X 10 −6 /K or less. The thin alloy sheet is free from the occurrence of a crack, a fracture or a flaw and exhibits good etching characteristics and dimensional precision in the manufacture of a shadow mask.
