  • Patent number: 11104983
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing a hot-dip metal coated steel strip capable of sufficiently suppressing generation of bath wrinkles and producing high-quality hot-dip metal coated steel strip at low cost. The disclosed method of producing a hot-dip metal coated steel strip includes: blowing a gas from a pair of gas wiping nozzles 20A and 20B to a steel strip S while being pulled up from a molten metal bath 14 so as to adjust a coating weight of molten metal on both sides of the steel strip S, in which each of the gas wiping nozzles 20A and 20B includes an injection port portion that is installed downward with respect to a horizontal plane such that an angle formed by the injection port portion and the horizontal plane is 10° or more and 75° or less, and has a header pressure below 30 kPa.

  • Publication number: 20170314108
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a high strength steel sheet includes subjecting a steel having a chemical composition including C: 0.08% to 0.20%, Si: 0.3% or less, Mn: 0.1% to 3.0%, P: 0.10% or less, S: 0.030% or less, Al: 0.10% or less, N: 0.010% or less, V: 0.20% to 0.80%, and the remainder composed of Fe and incidental impurities on a percent by mass basis to a hot rolling process composed of heating, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling, and coiling into the shape of a coil at a predetermined coiling temperature, wherein the heating is performed at a temperature of 1,100° C. or higher for 10 min or more, the rough rolling is performed at a finish rough rolling temperature of 1,000° C. or higher, the finish rolling is performed at a finishing temperature of 850° C. or higher, in which a reduction ratio in a temperature range of 1,000° C. or lower is 96% or less, a reduction ratio in a temperature range of 950° C.

  • Patent number: 9738960
    Abstract: The high strength steel sheet has a chemical composition including 0.08% to 0.20% of C, 0.3% or less of Si, 0.1% to 3.0% of Mn, 0.10% or less of P, 0.030% or less of S, 0.10% or less of Al, 0.010% or less of N, 0.20% to 0.80% of V, and the remainder composed of Fe and incidental impurities on a percent by mass basis, and a microstructure which includes 95% or more of ferrite phase on an area percentage basis, in which fine precipitates are dispersed having a distribution in such a way that the number density of precipitates having a particle size of less than 10 nm is 1.0×105/?m3 or more and the standard deviation of natural logarithm values of precipitate particle sizes with respect to precipitates having a particle size of less than 10 nm is 1.5 or less.
