Abstract

Provided is an ultrahigh-strength high-ductility steel sheet having excellent yield strength, comprising, by wt %, 0.04-0.18% of C, 2% or less of Si, 4-10% of Mn, 0.05% or less of P (except 0%), 0.02% or less of S (except 0%), 0.5% or less of Al (except 0%), 0.02% or less of N (except 0%) and the balance of Fe and the other inevitable impurities, wherein Si+Mn satisfies 6-10% and the microstructure comprises, by volume fraction, 12% or more of retained austenite and 60% or more of annealed martensite.

Claims (11)

1. A steel sheet comprising:

carbon (C): 0.04 wt % to 0.18 wt %, silicon (Si): 2 wt % or less, manganese (Mn): 4 wt % to 10 wt %, phosphorous (P): more than 0% and 0.05 wt % or less, sulfur (S): more than 0% and 0.02 wt % or less, aluminum (Al): more than 0% and 0.5 wt % or less, nitrogen (N): more than 0% and 0.02 wt % or less, and the balance of iron (Fe) and other inevitable impurities, wherein Si+Mn satisfies 6 wt % to 10 wt %; and

a microstructure including, by volume fraction, retained austenite of 12% or more and annealed martensite of 60% or more,

wherein the steel sheet has a wave height (WH) value of 5 mm or less.

2. The steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: one or more among titanium (Ti): more than 0% and 0.1 wt % or less, niobium (Nb): more than 0% and 0.1 wt % or less, vanadium (V): more than 0% and 0.2 wt % or less, and molybdenum (Mo): more than 0% and 0.5 wt % or less.

3. The steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: one or more between zirconium (Zr): 0.001 wt % to 0.1 wt % and tungsten (W): 0.001 wt % to 0.5 wt %.

4. The steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: one or more among nickel (Ni): more than 0% and 1 wt % or less, copper (Cu): more than 0% and 0.5 wt % or less, and chrome (Cr): more than 0% and 1 wt % or less.

5. The steel sheet of claim 1 , further comprising: one or more among antimony (Sb): more than 0% and 0.1 wt % or less, calcium (Ca): more than 0% and 0.01 wt % or less, and more than 0% and boron (B): 0.01 wt % or less.

6. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the microstructure further includes inevitable phases including alpha martensite and epsilon martensite, and the inevitable phases is 20% or less by volume fraction.

7. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet has a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, a yield ratio of 0.75 or more, and a product of tensile strength and elongation of 23,000 MPa % or more.

8. The steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the steel sheet is one among a cold-rolled steel sheet, a hot-dip plated steel sheet, and an alloyed hot-dip plated steel sheet.
