PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a hot-rolled steel sheet formed of finer crystal grains than before, specifically, formed of ferritic crystal grains with sizes of less than 2 μm on average. SOLUTION: A base steel plate for the hot-rolled steel sheet comprises, by mass%, 0.04-0.20% C, 0.01-2.0% Si, 0.5-3.0% Mn and the balance Fe with unavoidable impurities. The manufacturing method comprises: a step (A) of subjecting the base steel plate to such thermomechanical treatment as to include reverse-transformation from a martensite-containing phase to an austenite single-phase so that the base steel plate can be formed of the austenite single-phase and can consist of crystal grains with an average particle diameter of 30 μm or smaller; a step (B) which includes the subsequent first rolling step of rolling the base steel plate once with a rolling reduction of 30 to 55% at an Ae3 transformation temperature or higher at an inlet side of a rolling mill; a step (C) which includes the subsequent second rolling step of rolling the above rolled sheet once with a rolling reduction of 35 to 60% in a temperature range between (Ae3 transformation temperature -60°C) and (Ae3 transformation temperature +20°C) at an inlet side of a rolling mill; and a step (D) of subsequently cooling the above rolled sheet to a temperature of (Ae3 transformation temperature -130°C) or lower at a cooling rate of 600°C/sec or higher, within 0.2 seconds after having finished the second rolling step.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To equalize the horizontal deflections of upper and lower work rolls, to enable stable rolling and also to prevent the occurrence of twist in a metallic strip by adjusting the approach angle of the metallic strip to a rolling mill in a direction in which the difference of the deflection between a pair of the work rolls is reduced. SOLUTION: When both the upper and lower rolls are deflected toward the inlet side and the deflection of the upper roll is larger than that of the lower roll, the approach angle of the metallic strip is corrected upward. As a method for measuring the deflection, the deflection is directly measured with a distance sensor or, after measuring the horizontal force applied to the work roll with a load cell which is provided in a chock part, the value is converted taking the rigidity of roll into consideration. For adjusting the approach angle, dedicated elevating/lowering rolls 51, 52 may be provided or an elevating/ lowering device may be added to the part of the guide roller on the inlet side. The elevating/lowering rolls 51, 52 and fixed rolls 61, 62 are made so as to clamp the metallic strip and, by lowering the fixed roll 61 in the prestage under the pass line and it is possible to made into an one-roll type of only the elevating/lowering roll 52.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a high-strength hot-rolled steel plate having both of high strength and high toughness, which can realize a high tensile strength exceeding 580 MPa without rolling a plate with a high reduction rate at a low-temperature region, has toughnesses, particularly, large upper shelf energy among them, and is superior in fracture toughness as well. SOLUTION: The hot-rolled steel plate contains ferrite as the main phase, which has an average grain size of less than 1.00 μm in a position of 100 μm deep from the surface of the steel plate, and contains dislocations of 7×10 12 /m 2 or less by mean density in the above position. Alternatively or furthermore, the hot-rolled steel plate contains the crystal grains of ferrite surrounded by high angle grain boundaries or clusters of the crystal grains, which have an average aspect ratio of 2.0 or less in the above position.
