TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001]
The present invention relates to a martensitic stainless steel suitably used for portions that are needed to be welded in welded structures such as construction structures, ship structures, and the like, and the present invention also relates to a low-cost martensitic stainless steel material which is manufactured using the martensitic stainless steel, and which is excellent in impact characteristics and corrosion resistance of a base material and welded portions, and the cost is low since the Ni content is redcued in the martensitic stainless steel material.

The present invention relates to a martensitic stainless steel suitably used for portions that are needed to be welded in welded structures such as construction structures, ship structures, and the like, and the present invention also relates to a low-cost martensitic stainless steel material which is manufactured using the martensitic stainless steel, and which is excellent in impact characteristics and corrosion resistance of a base material and welded portions, and the cost is low since the Ni content is redcued in the martensitic stainless steel material.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002]
The martensitic stainless steel is widely used for things such as blades, springs, brake discs, and the like since the strength can be easily enhanced through a quenching thermal treatment. However, the martensitic stainless steel has a low toughness and poor weldability; and therefore, the martensitic stainless steel is not used for welded structures.
Meanwhile, a steel material having improved toughness, weldability, and corrosion resistance is developed by reducing the content of C and adding approximately
The martensitic stainless steel is widely used for things such as blades, springs, brake discs, and the like since the strength can be easily enhanced through a quenching thermal treatment. However, the martensitic stainless steel has a low toughness and poor weldability; and therefore, the martensitic stainless steel is not used for welded structures.
Meanwhile, a steel material having improved toughness, weldability, and corrosion resistance is developed by reducing the content of C and adding approximately
3% or more of Ni to a steel containing 13% to 17% of Cr, and the steel material is used for water wheel runners for hydroelectric power generation or steel pipes for oil well (for example, Patent Documents 1 to 4).
[0003]
However, even in the improved martensitic stainless steel as described above, tempering resistance is extremely large. Therefore, a problem still remains in that thermal treatment facility capacities are impaired since a long-term treatment or the like is required in a tempering thermal treatment for tempering the characteristics of a final product, and the manufacturing costs are high.

However, even in the improved martensitic stainless steel as described above, tempering resistance is extremely large. Therefore, a problem still remains in that thermal treatment facility capacities are impaired since a long-term treatment or the like is required in a tempering thermal treatment for tempering the characteristics of a final product, and the manufacturing costs are high.
[0004]
Therefore, a martensitic stainless steel for which a thermal treatment for tempering is not required or manufacturing conditions for which a dehydrogenation treatment is not required are studied, and Patent Document 4 is disclosed which aims to obtain a martensitic single-phase structure, and Patent Document 5 is disclosed which has a multiphase structure mainly including a martensite phase and including a ferrite phase or a residual austenite phase.
Therefore, a martensitic stainless steel for which a thermal treatment for tempering is not required or manufacturing conditions for which a dehydrogenation treatment is not required are studied, and Patent Document 4 is disclosed which aims to obtain a martensitic single-phase structure, and Patent Document 5 is disclosed which has a multiphase structure mainly including a martensite phase and including a ferrite phase or a residual austenite phase.
[0005]
As disclosed in Patent Document 4, in the majority of martensitic stainless steels, the amount of Cr is in a range of 11% to 15%, the corrosion resistance is poor compared to a ferrite stainless steel such as SUS430, and there are cases in which rusting (occurrence of rusts) is caused even in an indoor environment. Therefore, in order to obtain excellent corrosion resistance, it is necessary to add Mo or increase the amount of Cr.

Therefore, in order to obtain excellent corrosion resistance, it is necessary to add Mo or increase the amount of Cr.

In addition, Patent Document 5 discloses that 15% or more of Cr or 1% or more of Mo is preferably included in order to enhance corrosion resistance.
However, the martensitic stainless steel of Patent Document 5 has a metallic structure mainly including a martensite phase that includes a ferrite phase, the hot workability is not favorable, and there was a problem in that the manufacturing yield of the steel material frequently degraded. In addition, in order to secure mechanical characteristics, it is necessary to add austenite-forming elements at amounts that commensurate with the increment in amounts of Cr and Mo; and thereby, an increase in the alloy costs is caused.
That is, as the steel that can favorably maintain the characteristics of a base material and welded portions, a steel containing a large amount of Ni is in practical use.
However, there was no practical steel which had favorable hot workability, corrosion resistance equivalent to that of SUS430 in a base material and welded portions, and excellent mechanical characteristics, and in which the amount of Ni was reduced so as to be inexpensive.

C, N, Mn, Cu, Co, or the like is considered as an element that can replace Ni;
however, with regard to the above-described martensitic stainless steel, there is a few publications in relation to a steel containing large amounts of Mn, Cu, and Co. As an example, Non-Patent Document 1 shows an example in which a high-purity stainless steel containing 17% of Cr is used as the base, and Ni or Mn is added. However, Non-Patent Document 1 does not disclose an example in which both of Ni and Mn are added, and does not consider corrosion resistance either.

Meanwhile, generally, Mn is an element that degrades corrosion resistance.
Therefore, there are only a few examples in which active addition of Mn is attempted to a martensitic stainless steel having poor corrosion resistance compared to an ordinary 5 stainless steel. In the case where the amount of C is increased and, at the same time, the amount of Mn is increased, whether or not a desired corrosion resistance can be obtained is still under question. Therefore, based on technical aspects or experience thus far obtained, it was impossible to employ a method of adjusting the above-described alloy elements in order to develop a practical steel material that can secure excellent hot workability and mechanical characteristics as well as corrosion resistance.

Regarding a steel in which a steel containing 16% of Cr and 2% of Ni is used as the base and 2% or more of Mn is added, the inventors studied in detail the influence of the component elements and the metallic structure of a steel material on a variety of the above-described characteristics. As a result, it was found that the amount of Ni, whose price widely varies, can be suppressed, and both of toughness and corrosion resistance of welded portions can be satisfied by setting the amounts of Cr, Ni, Mn, and other elements described below in predetermined ranges. Furthermore, it was found that the mechanical characteristics of a base material can be secured by setting the phase fractions in a steel material even when thermal treatments of quenching and tempering which were required in the related art are not carried out. Based on the above findings, the invention has been completed.

yomx represented by the following formula 1 is a computation formula that estimates the maximum value of the fraction of an austenite phase generated in a temperature range of 900 C to 1000 C. The toughness of a steel can be enhanced by increasing the value of the ymax. In the embodiment, in the case where the value of ym. is less than 80%, an amount of a ferrite phase becomes excessive large, and a ferrite band structure remains; and thereby, desired toughness cannot be secured.
Therefore, ymax is set to be in a range of 80% or more. ymax is preferably in a range of 85% or more.

Ypot represented by the following formula 2 is a computation formula that shows the fraction of a martensite phase in a cast state, and ypot also corresponds to the fraction of an austenite phase during hot working. In the embodiment, a range ofypot is determined in order to secure hot workability. When ypot increases, a fraction of a soft ferrite phase decreases excessively; and thereby, strains concentrate in the ferrite phase during hot working, and cracking is promoted. The upper limit of ypot is dependent on the content of Mn or the content of Si that influences hot workability. In the embodiment, in the case where ypot exceeds 90%, there is a problem in that the manufacturing yield of the steel material decreases greatly. Therefore, the upper limit of ypot is set to be 90%. On the other hand, in the case where ypot is less than 60%, C and N concentrate in a martensite phase which is generated in welded portions; and thereby, the martensite phase becomes hard and turns into a heterogeneous structure. In addition, since the corrosion resistance of the martensite phase in which alloying elements of C, N, Mn, and the like concentrate degrades, the lower limit of ypot is set to be 60%. v pot is preferably in a range of 65% to 85%.

Next, the reasons why the martensitic stainless steel material of the embodiment is limited will be described.
The martensitic stainless steel material of the embodiment has a composition of the above-described martensitic stainless steel of the embodiment, and has a metallic structure that meets the following requirements. Mechanical characteristics and strength of a base material can be secured by adjusting the phase fraction of the steel material.
A ferrite phase is soft, and, in the case where a certain amount of a ferrite phase is included, an excessive increase in strength is suppressed, and crystal grains are finely controlled through a dual-phase microstructure. Thereby, the toughness of the martensitic stainless steel material of the embodiment can be improved. A
least 5% of a ferrite phase is required to improve the toughness. On the other hand, a ferrite phase is poor in toughness; and therefore, in the case where an excessive amount of a ferrite phase is included, the toughness of the martensitic stainless steel material of the embodiment degrades. In order to prevent the degradation of toughness, the fraction of a ferrite phase is set to be in a range of 30% or less. The fraction of a ferrite phase is preferably in a range of 5% to 20%.
This fraction of a ferrite phase is realized through the manufacturing conditions of the steel material in addition to the chemical composition, ymax and ypot.
The above-described fraction range of a ferrite phase can be realized by selecting the manufacturing conditions from the manufacturing conditions of an ordinary stainless steel material depending on the chemical composition. For example, for rolling conditions, the heating temperature of hot rolling may be selected from 1150 C to 1250 C.
The finishing temperature of hot rolling may be selected from 950 C to 700 C. In addition, in the case where a thermal treatment is carried out as necessary, the temperature of a quenching thermal treatment may be selected from 850 C to 950 C. The temperature of a tempering thermal treatment may be selected from 550 C to 750 C. In addition, the holding time of the temperature of the quenching thermal treatment is preferably in a range of approximately 5 minutes to 30 minutes. In addition, the holding time of the temperature of the tempering thermal treatment is preferably in a range of approximately 10 minutes to 1 hour.

In addition, a residual austenite phase is generated by remaining an austenite phase that is present at high temperatures in a non-transformation state. The residual austenite phase is soft; and therefore, the residual austenite phase enhances the toughness of the steel material. On the other hand, in the case where a residual austenite phase remains in excess, yield strength of the steel material decreases; and thereby, strength characteristics of the martensitic stainless steel material of the embodiment are impaired.
Therefore, the upper limit of the fraction of a residual austenite phase is set to be 20%.
In order to control the amount of a residual austenite phase, it is necessary to control an Ms value ( C) represented by the following formula 4. The chemical components are set so that the formula 4 becomes in a range of 200 C or higher. In the case where the value of the formula 4 is lower than 200, the fraction of a residual austenite phase exceeds 20% which is the upper limit value specified in the embodiment.
In addition, since the fraction of a residual austenite phase may be 0%, it is not necessary to set the upper limit of the Ms value ( C) represented by the formula 4. In the composition range of the present embodiment, the Ms value can be set high in the permitted range.
Meanwhile, the fraction of a residual austenite phase can be obtained through X-ray measurement. The amount of the residual austenite phase is preferably in a range of 3%
to 15%.

Welding for evaluating the joint characteristics was carried out as follows.
The width center portion of the steel sheet was cut in a rolling length direction, and the end surface was cut so as to form a V-shape groove. Next, a joint was produced through two passes of welding under a heat input condition of 3.5 kJ/mm using welding rods for submerged arc welding of SUS329J3L and flux. From the welded joint, a Charpy test specimen was taken, and in the Charpy test specimen, a 2 mm V-shape groove was notched at a location 1 mm away from an interface between the weld metal and a 5 heat-affected zone towards the heat-affected zone side. The test was carried out on two specimens at -20 C for each of the test specimen steels. The average value of the obtained impact values was shown as the impact value 1 in Table 4.

20 As a result, it was found that steels having the composition of the embodiment were all excellent in impact value 1 and corrosion resistance. In contrast, in Comparative Examples having compositions outside the range of the embodiment, steels were all poor in impact value 1 and corrosion resistance, which indicates the superiority of the steel of the embodiment.

The metallic structure was observed using an optical microscope, and the area fraction of a ferrite phase was obtained through an image analysis. In addition, a test specimen having a measurement surface at a portion of 1/4 of the sheet thickness and dimensions of 3 mm x 23 mm x 23 mm was produced, and the fraction of a residual austenite phase was quantified by the X-ray diffraction method. The results were shown in the "metallic structure" column in Tables 7 and 8.
[0053]
Next, a tensile test and an impact test were carried out by the following method.
A tensile test specimen having a circular parallel portion with a diameter of mm and a length of 60 mm was taken perpendicularly to the rolling direction.
The test specimen was subjected to a tensile test, and the 0.2% yield strength was measured.
JIS No. 4 full-size Charpy test specimens having a 2 mm V groove were produced.
The test was carried out on two specimens at -60 C for each of the test specimen steels, and average impact values were measured. The average value of the obtained impact values was shown as the impact value 2.
[0054]
In the case where the yield strength was 400 MPa or more, the yield strength was higher than that of an austenite stainless steel, and the yield strength was determined to be favorable. In the case where the impact value was 35 J/cm2 (= 27 J) or more, the impact value was determined to be favorable. As a result, it is found that Examples that correspond to the embodiment were all favorable in hot workability, base material strength, and toughness. In addition, from the results of Examples 34 to 37, it is found that the strength and the toughness of the base material can be secured without carrying out a quenching or a tempering thermal treatment. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples, the hot workability was insufficient, or either one of the base material yield strength or the impact value 2 was out of the desired value. From the results of Comparative Examples 39 and 40, it is found that, even for steels that meet the requirements regarding the chemical composition of the embodiment, in the case where the manufacturing conditions were not appropriate, and the metallic structure did not meet the requirements of the embodiment, desired characteristics were not obtained.
[0055]
As is found from the above-described Examples and Comparative Examples, it became clear that a martensitic stainless steel with excellent weld characteristics can be obtained from the embodiment, and a martensitic stainless steel material with excellent characteristics in a base material and welded portions can be obtained by meeting the requirements regarding the metallic structure as well.

In accordance with the embodiment of the invention, it is possible to provide an economic martensitic stainless steel material having favorable weld characteristics and a small content of Ni. Therefore, it is possible to provide a low-cost high-strength steel material that can be applied to large-scale structures. In addition, since long-term thermal treatments that were required in the related art can be skipped, the embodiment of the invention can improve mass productivity and greatly contribute to the industry.
15 In the case where the impact value 1 was 35 J/cm2 (= 27 J) or more, the evaluation result was determined to be favorable. In addition, in the case where the pitting potential Vc' 100 was 0.10 V or more which is the average pitting potential level of the base material of SUS430 steel, the corrosion resistance was determined to be favorable.
20 As a result, it was found that steels having the composition of the embodiment were all excellent in impact value 1 and corrosion resistance. In contrast, in Comparative Examples having compositions outside the range of the embodiment, steels were all poor in impact value 1 and corrosion resistance, which indicates the superiority of the steel of the embodiment.

In addition, Tables 5 to 8 show the manufacturing conditions, hot workability, metallic structures, and base material characteristics of the steel materials of the examples.
A rolling test specimen having dimensions of thickness 60 mm x width 110 mm x length 150 mm was heated to a predetermined hot rolling heating temperature, and then the rolling test specimen was subjected to a plurality of rolling such that the thickness became 12 mm. The temperatures at the final rolling were described as the hot rolling finishing temperature in Tables 5 and 6. The size of a cracked edge caused at the edge portion of the steel sheet obtained after the hot rolling was measured, and the hot workability was evaluated to be good in the case where the maximum cracked edge was 5 mm or less, the hot workability was evaluated to be bad in the case where the maximum cracked edge exceeded 5 mm, and evaluation results are shown in the "hot workability"
column in Tables 5 and 6.
[0052]
With regard to the obtained steel sheets or the steel sheets obtained by carrying out either one or both of a quenching thermal treatment and a tempering thermal treatment, metallic structures were investigated by the following method. A sheet thickness cross-section was etched so as to develop the microstructure. The metallic structure was observed using an optical microscope, and the area fraction of a ferrite phase was obtained through an image analysis. In addition, a test specimen having a measurement surface at a portion of 1/4 of the sheet thickness and dimensions of 3 mm x 23 mm x 23 mm was produced, and the fraction of a residual austenite phase was quantified by the X-ray diffraction method. The results were shown in the "metallic structure" column in Tables 7 and 8.
[0053]
Next, a tensile test and an impact test were carried out by the following method.
A tensile test specimen having a circular parallel portion with a diameter of mm and a length of 60 mm was taken perpendicularly to the rolling direction.
The test specimen was subjected to a tensile test, and the 0.2% yield strength was measured.
JIS No. 4 full-size Charpy test specimens having a 2 mm V groove were produced.
The test was carried out on two specimens at -60 C for each of the test specimen steels, and average impact values were measured. The average value of the obtained impact values was shown as the impact value 2.
[0054]
In the case where the yield strength was 400 MPa or more, the yield strength was higher than that of an austenite stainless steel, and the yield strength was determined to be favorable. In the case where the impact value was 35 J/cm2 (= 27 J) or more, the impact value was determined to be favorable. As a result, it is found that Examples that correspond to the embodiment were all favorable in hot workability, base material strength, and toughness. In addition, from the results of Examples 34 to 37, it is found that the strength and the toughness of the base material can be secured without carrying out a quenching or a tempering thermal treatment. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples, the hot workability was insufficient, or either one of the base material yield strength or the impact value 2 was out of the desired value. From the results of Comparative Examples 39 and 40, it is found that, even for steels that meet the requirements regarding the chemical composition of the embodiment, in the case where the manufacturing conditions were not appropriate, and the metallic structure did not meet the requirements of the embodiment, desired characteristics were not obtained.
[0055]
As is found from the above-described Examples and Comparative Examples, it became clear that a martensitic stainless steel with excellent weld characteristics can be obtained from the embodiment, and a martensitic stainless steel material with excellent characteristics in a base material and welded portions can be obtained by meeting the requirements regarding the metallic structure as well.
