Abstract

A hot-rolled steel sheet including, in terms of % by mass, 0.030% to 0.120% of C, 1.20% or less of Si, 1.00% to 3.00% of Mn, 0.01% to 0.70% of Al, 0.05% to 0.20% of Ti, 0.01% to 0.10% of Nb, 0.020% or less of P, 0.010% or less of S, and 0.005% or less of N, and a balance consisting of Fe and impurities, in which 0.106≥(C %-Ti %*12/48-Nb %*12/93)≥0.012 is satisfied; a pole density of {112}(110) at a position of ¼ plate thickness is 5.7 or less; an aspect ratio (long axis/short axis) of prior austenite grains is 5.3 or less; a density of (Ti, Nb)C precipitates having a size of 20 nm or less is 10 9 pieces/mm 3 or more; a yield ratio YR, which is the ratio of a tensile strength to a yield stress, is 0.80 or more; and a tensile strength is 590 MPa or more.

Claims (39)

1. A hot-rolled steel sheet comprising in terms of % by mass,

0.030% to 0.120% of C,

1.20% or less of Si,

1.00% to 3.00% of Mn,

0.01% to 0.70% of Al,

more than 0.10% to 0.20% of Ti,

0.01% to 0.10% of Nb,

0.020% or less of P,

0.010% or less of S,

0.005% or less of N, and

a balance comprising Fe and impurities,

wherein 0.106≥(C %-Ti %*12/48-Nb %*12/93)≥0.012 is satisfied; a pole density of {112}(110) at a position of ¼ plate thickness is 5.7 or less; an aspect ratio (long axis/short axis) of prior austenite grains is 5.3 or less; a density of (Ti, Nb)C precipitates having a size of 20 nm or less is 10 9 pieces/mm 3 to 10 12 pieces/mm 3 ; a yield ratio YR, which is the ratio of a yield stress to a tensile strength, is 0.80 or more; and a tensile strength is 590 MPa or more.

2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , further comprising, in terms of % by mass, one or more of

0.0005% to 0.0015% of B,

0.09% or less of Cr,

0.01% to 0.10% of V, or

0.01% to 0.2% of Mo,

wherein 0.106≥(C %-Ti %*12/48-Nb %*12/93-V %*12/51)≥0.012 is satisfied in a case where the hot-rolled steel sheet contains V.

3. A method of manufacturing the hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

heating a steel to 1250° C. or higher, the steel comprising, in terms of % by mass,

0.030% to 0.120% of C,

1.20% or less of Si,

1.00% to 3.00% of Mn,

0.01% to 0.70% of Al,

more than 0.10% to 0.20% of Ti,

0.01% to 0.10% of Nb,

0.020% or less of P,

0.010% or less of 5,

0.005% or less of N, and

a balance comprising Fe and impurities,

wherein 0.106≥(C %-Ti %*12/48-Nb %*12/93)≥0.012 is satisfied;

hot rolling the heated steel at a final rolling temperature of 980° C. or higher in finish rolling with a total of rolling reductions at two stands from a last stand of 40% or more when a Ti content is in a range of 0.10%<Ti≤0.20%; and

coiling the hot rolled steel at 450° C. to 650° C.

4. The method of manufacturing a hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 3 , wherein the steel further comprises, in terms of % by mass, one or more of

0.0005% to 0.0015% of B,

0.09% or less of Cr,

0.01% to 0.10% of V, or

0.01% to 0.2% of Mo,

wherein 0.106≥(C %-Ti %*12/48-Nb %*12/93-V %*12/51)≥0.012 is satisfied in a case where the steel contains V.
