Abstract

Provided is a hot rolled steel sheet having excellent formability and fatigue properties comprising, in percentage by weight: 0.3-0.8% of C; 13-25% of Mn; 0.1-1.0% of V; 0.005-2.0% of Si; 0.01-2.5% of Al; 0.03% or less of P; 0.03% or less of S; 0.04% or less (excluding 0%) of N; and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities, wherein, when viewed in a cross section in the thickness direction, the hot rolled steel sheet comprises, by area fraction, 20-70% of a non-recrystallized structure and 30-80% of a recrystallized structure.

Claims (9)

1. A hot rolled steel sheet, the hot rolled steel sheet comprising:

by weight %, 0.3 to 0.8% of carbon (C), 13 to 25% of manganese (Mn), 0.1 to 1.0% of vanadium (V), 0.005 to 2.0% of silicon (Si), 0.01 to 2.5% of aluminum (Al), 0.03% or less of phosphorus (P), 0.03% or less of sulfur (S), 0.04% or less (excluding 0%) of nitrogen (N), and a remainder of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities; and

a dual microstructure comprising: an unrecystallized microstructure in a V-concentrated zone; and a recrystallized microstructure in a V non-concentrated zone,

wherein, when a cross section of the hot rolled steel sheet is viewed in a thickness direction thereof, the hot rolled steel sheet includes, by area fraction, 20 to 70% of the unrecrystallized microstructure and 30 to 80% of the recrystallized microstructure, and

wherein the unrecrystallized microstructure is elongated in a rolling direction and has an aspect ratio of 2 or more, and the recrystallized microstructure is spherical.

2. The hot rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the hot rolled steel sheet further comprises, by weight %, one or more selected from 0.01 to 0.5% of titanium (Ti), 0.05 to 0.5% of niobium (Nb), 0.01 to 0.5% of molybdenum (Mo) and 0.0005 to 0.005% of boron (B).

3. The hot rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein, when observing the cross section of the hot rolled steel sheet in the thickness direction thereof, the uncrystallized microstructure and the recrystallized microstructure have an alternatively formed layered structure.

4. The hot rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the hot rolled steel sheet comprises, by area fraction, 95% or more austenite.

5. The hot rolled steel sheet of claim 1 , wherein the hot rolled steel sheet has an elongation of not less than 40% and a fatigue strength of 300 MPa or more, when measured using a bending fatigue machine under conditions of a stress ratio of −1 and cycles to failure of 10,000,000.
