Abstract

Provided is a high strength steel sheet having an excellent high-temperature elongation characteristic. The sheet includes, by weight %, 0.4-0.9% of C, 0.01-1.5% of Cr, 0.03% or less (exclusive of 0%) of P, 0.01% or less (exclusive of 0%) of S, 0.01% or less (exclusive of 0%) of N, 0.01% or less (exclusive of 0%) of sol. Al, and a balance of Fe and inevitable impurities, and comprises at least one among 2.1% or less (exclusive of 0%) of Mn and 1.6% or less (exclusive of 0%) of Si; the sheet has a microcrystalline structure including pearlite having an area fraction of 80% or more and ferrite having an area fraction of 20% or less; and the pearlite includes cementite having a major axis length of 200 nm or shorter.

Claims (11)

1. A member, comprising:

by weight %, carbon (C): 0.4 to 0.9%, chromium (Cr): 0.01 to 1.5%, phosphorus (P): 0.03% or less (excluding 0%), sulfur (S): 0.01% or less (excluding 0%), nitrogen (N): 0.01% or less (excluding 0%), alkali-soluble aluminum (sol.Al): 0.1% or less (excluding 0%), and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities, and including at least one among manganese (Mn): 2.1% or less (excluding 0%), and silicon (Si): 1.6% or less (excluding 0%); and

a microstructure comprising: 80% or more of pearlite and 20% or less of ferrite by area fraction, and

wherein the cementite of the pearlite has an N value of 70% or more in the following Relational Expression 2,

N (%)= Nx /( Nx+Ny )*100,  Relational Expression 2:

where Nx is a number of cementite whose major axis length is 200 nm or less, and Ny is a number of cementite whose major axis length exceeds 200 nm.

2. The member of claim 1 , wherein the member satisfies the following Relational Expression 1,

0.7≤C+Cr/2+Mn/3+Si/4≤3.0,  Relational Expression 1:

where a symbol of each element represents a content of each element in weight %, and represents 0 if not included.

3. The member of claim 1 , wherein the member is further provided with an aluminum plated layer on a surface thereof.

4. The member of claim 1 , wherein the member is further provided with a galvanized layer or an alloyed galvanized layer on a surface thereof, and a microcrack length in the member is 10 μm or less.
