Abstract

A hot-rolled steel sheet includes a predetermined chemical composition, and a structure which includes, by area ratio, a ferrite in a range of 5% to 60% and a bainite in a range of 30% to 95%, in which in the structure, in a case where a boundary having an orientation difference of equal to or greater than 15° is defined as a grain boundary, and an area which is surrounded by the grain boundary and has an equivalent circle diameter of equal to or greater than 0.3 μm is defined as a grain, the ratio of the grains having an intragranular orientation difference in a range of 5° to 14° is, by area ratio, in a range of 20% to 100%.

Claims (36)

1. A hot-rolled steel sheet comprising, as a chemical composition, by mass %,

C: 0.020% to 0.070%,

Si: 0.10% to 1.70%,

Mn: 0.60% to 2.50%,

Al: 0.01% to 1.00%,

Ti: 0.015% to 0.170%,

Nb: 0.005% to 0.050%,

Cr: 0% to 1.0%,

B: 0% to 0.10%,

Mo: 0% to 1.0%

Cu: 0% to 2.0%,

Ni: 0% to 2.0%,

Mg: 0% to 0.05%,

REM: 0% to 0.05%,

Ca: 0% to 0.05%,

Zr: 0% to 0.05%,

P: limited to equal to or less than 0.05%,

S: limited to equal to or less than 0.010%, and

N: limited to equal to or less than 0.0060%, with the remainder of Fe and impurities;

wherein a structure includes, by area ratio, a ferrite in a range of 5% to 60% and a bainite in a range of 30% to 95%, wherein a tensile strength of the steel is equal to or greater than 590 MPa, and a product of the tensile strength and a limit forming height in a saddle type stretch flange test is equal to or greater than 19500 mm·Mpa, and

wherein in the structure, in a case where a boundary having an orientation difference of equal to or greater than 15° is defined as a grain boundary, and an area which is surrounded by the grain boundary and has an equivalent circle diameter of equal to or greater than 0.3 μm is defined as a grain, an area ratio of grains having an intragranular orientation difference in a range of 5-14° to total amount of grains is 20% to 100%.

2. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical composition contains, by mass %, one or more selected from

Cr: 0.05% to 1.0%, and

B: 0.0005% to 0.10%.

3. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical composition contains, by mass %, one or more selected from

Mo: 0.01% to 1.0%,

Cu: 0.01% to 2.0%, and

Ni: 0.01% to 2.0%.

4. The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical composition contains, by mass %, one or more selected from

Ca: 0.0001% to 0.05%,

Mg: 0.0001% to 0.05%,

Zr: 0.0001% to 0.05%, and

REM: 0.0001% to 0.05%.
