Abstract

A steel sheet includes: a base iron; a scale of 10.0 μm or less in thickness on a surface of the base iron; a subscale between the base iron and the scale. In the subscale, an average value of Cr concentrations is 1.50 mass % to 5.00 mass %, and one part or more exist(s) where a ratio of Cr concentrations between two adjacent measurement regions separate by 1 μm is 0.90 or less or 1.11 or more in a range of 50 μm in length in a rolling direction. A percentage of an amount of Ti contained in carbide or carbonitride of 100 nm or more and 1 μm or less in grain diameter to a parameter Ti eff represented by a formula “Ti eff =[Ti]−48/14[N]” is 30% or less in which [Ti] denotes a Ti content (mass %) and [N] denotes a N content (mass %).

Claims (49)

1. A steel sheet comprising:

a base iron;

a scale of 10.0 μm or less in thickness on a surface of the base iron; and

a subscale between the base iron and the scale,

wherein the base iron comprises a chemical composition represented by, in mass %,

C: 0.05% to 0.20%,

Si: 0.01% to 1.50%,

Mn: 1.50% to 2.50%,

P: 0.05% or less,

S: 0.03% or less,

Al: 0.005% to 0.10%,

N: 0.008% or less,

Cr: 0.30% to 1.00%,

Ti: 0.06% to 0.20%,

Nb: 0.00% to 0.10%,

V: 0.00% to 0.20%,

B: 0.0000% to 0.0050%,

Cu: 0.00% to 0.50%,

Ni: 0.00% to 0.50%,

Mo: 0.00% to 0.50%,

W: 0.00% to 0.50%,

Ca: 0.0000% to 0.0050%,

Mg: 0.0000% to 0.0050%,

REM: 0.000% to 0.010%, and

the balance: Fe and impurities,

wherein, in the base iron, a percentage of an amount of Ti contained in carbide or carbonitride of 100 nm or more and 1 μm or less in grain diameter to a parameter Ti eff represented by a following formula 1 is 30% or less, [Ti] denoting a Ti content (mass %) and [N] denoting a N content (mass %) in the following formula 1,

wherein, in the subscale,

an average value of Cr concentrations is 1.50 mass % to 5.00 mass %, wherein the average value of Cr concentrations is an average value Ave of maximum values Cmax among 50 or more measurement regions, each of the 50 or more measurement regions is made of 10 measurement points of Cr concentration continually lining up in a rolling direction, and an interval between the measurement points is 0.1 μm, and

one part or more exist(s) where a ratio of one's maximum value Cmax to the other's maximum value Cmax is 0.90 or less or 1.11 or more between two adjacent measurement regions among the 50 or more measurement regions,

T eff =[Ti]−48/14[N]  (formula 1).

2. The steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, in the chemical composition,

Nb: 0.001% to 0.10%,

V: 0.001% to 0.20%,

B: 0.0001% to 0.0050%,

Cu: 0.01% to 0.50%,

Ni: 0.01% to 0.50%,

Mo: 0.01% to 0.50%, or

W: 0.01% to 0.50%,

or any combination of the above is satisfied.

3. The steel sheet according to claim 1 , wherein, in the chemical composition,

Ca: 0.0005% to 0.0050%,

Mg: 0.0005% to 0.0050%, or

REM: 0.0005% to 0.010%,

or any combination of the above is satisfied.

4. The steel sheet according to claim 2 , wherein, in the chemical composition,

Ca: 0.0005% to 0.0050%,

Mg: 0.0005% to 0.0050%, or

REM: 0.0005% to 0.010%,

or any combination of the above is satisfied.
