HIGH TENSILE HOT ROLLED STEEL SHEET AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a high strength hot rolled steel sheet containing 0.15% or less C, 0.02 to 0.35% Ti, and 0.05 to 0.7% Mo by weight percentage and consisting essentially of a matrix of ferrite structure single phase and fine precipitates with a grain size of smaller than 10 nm dispersed in the matrix, for example, a high strength hot rolled steel sheet which consists essentially of 0.06% or less C, 0.5% or less Si, 0.5 to 2.0% Mn, 0.06% or less P, 0.005% or less S, 0.1% or less Al, 0.006% or less N, 0.02 to 0.10% Ti, 0.05 to 0.6% Mo by weight percentage, and the balance being Fe, wherein fine precipitates with a grain size of smaller than 10 nm are dispersed in a matrix of ferrite structure single phase at a number per unit volume of 5x10<4>/mum<3 >or higher. This steel sheet, which has tensile strength of not lower than 550 MPa, high elongation and excellent stretch flangeability, is suitable for intricately shaped automotive chassis parts such as a suspension arm.
