Application number: 17/593,298

Abstract:


Publication date:
Applicant: Jfe Steel Corporation
Inventors: Mineyasu Takemasa


Publication number: US20220234089A1
Application number: 17/438,350

Abstract:
A pressing technology for reducing tensile residual stress generated on a sheared edge face of a metal sheet after press forming in order to prevent occurrence of a delayed fracture on the sheared edge face. A pressed component manufacturing method for manufacturing a pressed component by press-forming a metal sheet having a sheared edge face includes a first press forming step in which it is estimated that tensile residual stress is generated in a direction along the sheared edge on a portion of the sheared edge face of the metal sheet after die release, in which the method includes, as a subsequent step to the first press forming step, a tensile residual stress relaxation step of bulging, in the sheet thickness direction, a region that includes at least a site on a sheared edge face where it is estimated that the tensile residual stress is generated.

Application number: 17/433,875

Abstract:
An object is to provide a high strength steel sheet having a TS (tensile strength) of 980 MPa or more and excellent formability and a method for manufacturing the steel sheet.A high strength steel sheet which is excellent in terms of formability, which is manufactured under optimized manufacturing conditions, and which has a predetermined chemical composition and a steel microstructure including, in terms of area fraction, 35% or more and 80% or less of ferrite, 5% or more and 35% or less of as-quenched martensite, 0.1% or more and less than 3.0% of tempered martensite, and 8% or more of retained austenite, in which the average grain size of the ferrite is 6 μm or less, in which the average grain size of the retained austenite is 3 μm or less, in which a value calculated by dividing the average Mn content in the retained austenite by the average Mn content in the ferrite is 1.5 or more, in which a value calculated by dividing the sum of the area fraction of as-quenched martensite having a circle-equivalent grain size of 3 μm or more and the area fraction of retained austenite having a circle-equivalent grain size of 3 μm or more by the sum of the area fraction of all the as-quenched martensite and the area fraction of all the retained austenite is less than 0.4, and in which a value calculated by dividing the area fraction of retained austenite grains adjacent to three or more ferrite grains having different crystal orientations by the area fraction of all the retained austenite is less than 0.6.
