  • Patent number: 10513749
    Abstract: A hot-rolled steel sheet has predetermined chemical composition, a sum of a Si content and an Al content is higher than 0.20% and lower than 0.81%, a microstructure includes, by area fraction, 90% to 99% of a ferrite, 1% to 10% of a martensite, and a bainite limited to 5% or less, the grain size of the martensite is 1 to 10 ?m, the X-ray random intensity ratio of a {211}<011> orientation which is parallel to a rolled surface of the steel sheet and is parallel to a rolling direction is 3.0 or less.

  • Patent number: 10087499
    Abstract: There are provided a high-strength hot-rolled steel sheet securing low-temperature toughness and having excellent stretch flangeability by controlling a structural fraction and a hardness difference among structures, and a manufacturing method thereof. A hot-rolled steel sheet contains: C: 0.01 to 0.2%; Si: 0.001 to 2.5% or less; Mn: 0.10 to 4.0% or less; P: 0.10% or less; S: less than 0.03%; Al: 0.001 to 2.0%; N: less than 0.01%; Ti: (0.005+48/14[N]+48/32[S]) % or more and 0.3% or less; Nb: 0 to 0.06%; Cu: 0 to 1.2%; Ni: 0 to 0.6%; Mo: 0 to 1%; V: 0 to 0.2%; Cr: 0 to 2%; Mg: 0 to 0.01%; Ca: 0 to 0.01%; REM: 0 to 0.1%; and B: 0 to 0.002%, and has: an texture in which, at a central portion of a sheet thickness located between ? to ? thickness positions of the sheet thickness from a surface of the steel sheet, an average value of X-ray random intensity ratios of a group of {100}<011> to {223}<110> orientations of a sheet plane is 6.
