Abstract

Provided is an austenitic, lightweight, high-strength steel sheet having a high yield ratio and ductility and a method for producing the same, and more particularly, to a high-strength steel sheet for automotive interior panels, exterior panels, and structural parts, and a method for producing the steel sheet. The steel sheet may be a hot-rolled steel sheet, a cold-rolled steel sheet, or a plated steel sheet. The steel sheet includes, by weight %, C: 0.6% to 1.0%, Si: 0.1% to 2.5%, Mn: 10% to 15%, P: 0.02% or less, S: 0.015% or less, Al: 5% to 8%, Ti: 0.01% to 0.20%, N: 0.02% or less, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the steel sheet has a specific gravity of 7.4 g/cm 3 and a Mn/Al ratio of 2 to 3.

Claims (11)

1. An austenitic, lightweight, high-strength steel sheet having a high yield ratio and ductility, the steel sheet comprising, by weight %, C: 0.6% to 1.0%, Si: 0.1% to 2.5%, Mn: 10% to 14.8%, P: 0.02% or less, S: 0.015% or less, Al: 5% to 8%, Ti:0.01% to 0.20%, N: 0.02% or less, Ca: 0.001% to 0.02%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein the steel sheet has a specific gravity of 7.4 g/cm 3 , a Mn/Al ratio of 2 to 3, and a single-phase austenite microstructure, and wherein the steel sheet has a yield ratio of 60% or more.

2. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet is one of a hot-rolled steel sheet, a cold-rolled steel sheet, and a plated steel sheet.

3. The steel sheet of claim 2 , further comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of Cr: 0.1% to 3.0%, Ni: 0.05% to 2.0%, Cu: 0.1% to 2.0%, and Mo: 0.05% to 0.5%.

4. The steel sheet of claim 2 , further comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of V: 0.005% to 0.5%, Nb: 0.005% to 0.2%, Zr: 0.005% to 0.2%, and B: 0.0005% to 0.0030%.

5. The steel sheet of claim 2 , further comprising Sb: 0.005% to 0.2%.

6. The steel sheet of claim 2 , wherein the steel sheet has a tensile strength of 800 MPa to 1200 MPa and elongation of 30% or more.

7. The steel sheet of claim 4 , further comprising Sb: 0.005% to 0.2%.

8. The steel sheet of claim 3 , further comprising Sb: 0.005% to 0.2%.

9. The steel sheet of claim 3 , further comprising at least one selected from the group consisting of V: 0.005% to 0.5%, Nb: 0.005% to 0.2%, Zr: 0.005% to 0.2%, and B: 0.0005% to 0.0030%.

10. The steel sheet of claim 9 , further comprising Sb: 0.005% to 0.2%.

11. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet has a tensile strength of 800 MPa to 1200 MPa and elongation of 30% or more.
