Fe-Cr alloy blank and its manufacture method
Technical field
The present invention relates to contain ferrous alloy (simply being called the Fe-Cr alloy in this manual) the base material of 5~17%Cr and its manufacture method, in more detail, relate to cut down significantly the invention of the seamless steel pipe made with split rolling method with the manufacture method of the Fe-Cr alloy blank of the removing surface of blank before tubulation and this blank.
Background technology
In recent years to oil well with and the increase in demand of the steel pipe that constitutes by the Fe-Cr alloy used of chemical industry, in order to make this steel pipe effectively, increased the manufacturing of usefulness hot rolled seamless steel tube manufacture method with high-quality.In the manufacturing of the seamless steel pipe of Fe-Cr alloy, on the outer surface of the steel pipe that obtains, produce blemish such as firecoat scar sometimes.
Such blemish causes because of the iron scale defective of the blank surface before the tubulation mostly.Just bad because of the de-scaling in blank manufacturing process, residual have iron scale, so iron scale is pressed into or is involved in and become the iron scale defective, and they directly remain in blank surface, produce blemish by tubulation.
Therefore the descaling method in the blank manufacturing process being improved, is difficult but now eliminate residual iron scale reliably.So the blemish in order to prevent from the steel pipe behind the hot rolling tubulation, to produce, nearly all blank will be accepted surface inspection before tubulation, carry out removing surface according to its result.
Illustrated in figures 1 and 2 as the back, usually the steel billet of same alloy system as raw material, make the blank that uses in the manufacturing of seamless steel pipe of Fe-Cr alloy with split rolling method.After steel billet is heated to about about 1200 ℃, process with the split rolling method of the roll of box or pass shape.This moment, roll used multiple roll, depressed gradually, reduced the raw material diameter, and finish rolling simultaneously becomes blank shape.
In order to remove in split rolling method the iron scale that produces at steel billet because of heating, implement high-pressure water descaling, but it is bad usually to produce de-scaling, residual iron scale is pressed into or is involved in billet surface, becomes the iron scale defective of blank surface.
In order to reduce the iron scale defective, need to strengthen flow and expulsion pressure that the de-scaling ability for example increases de-scaling water, but because along with de-scaling mother metal temperature reduces, itself make troubles etc. to the blank manufacturing, also be restricted so increase the de-scaling ability.Therefore it is difficult now eliminating residual iron scale reliably.
In order to tackle above-mentioned problem, so far various countermeasures have been proposed firing equipment.Open the scheme that has proposed continuous heating means in the flat 7-258740 communique the spy, when with burner the steel billet of slab or blank etc. being heated continuously, the iron scale that the oxidation when suppressing heating generates makes billet oxidization after heating, produce the iron scale that peels off easily, remove blemish., need significantly improve and transform continuous furnace as implementing the method for motion.
This external spy opens to have delivered in the clear 57-2831 communique and apply SiC before split rolling method, gives oxidisability, improves the stripping performance of iron scale., need coating device, because off-line operation is also wanted in coating, reduce productivity ratio in addition in order to apply SiC as adopting in this method of delivering.
Therefore above-mentioned spy open flat 7-258740 number and special any one countermeasure of opening in each communique of clear 57-2831 number in, all can not directly apply to practical operation, in addition from the ability aspect, de-scaling also is difficult fully.Therefore can't reach and dispense the removing surface before the tubulation after the blank manufacturing.
As the method for cleaning before the tubulation of blank, custom is used with ultrasonic examination etc. and is detected the flaw position, the method for being pruned in this position with abrasive machine and peeling machine.Each blank such as the position of flaw (damage) generation and frequency are different, are difficult to automation, are generally off-line operation.Therefore the production efficiency with this blank manufacturing seamless steel pipe is low, and the operating environment of blank cleaning is also abominable.
Under the situation that makes blank cleaning automation, have whether frequency, situation with position that produces because of flaw and generation is different has flaw irrelevant, the method for cleaning of whole blank surface Even Grinding removal.In this case, the yield rate of blank obviously reduces.
Handle to substitute such the blank surface Even Grinding about the automation of determining flaw location, for example open in the flat 10-277912 communique and propose after making a mark on the steel billet the spy, obtain the pictorial data of steel billet, from then on pictorial data extracts the scheme of the surface blemish processing method of surface blemish data.,, have as the inapplicable problem of blank method for cleaning owing to need very big equipment and expense with the surface blemish processing method of this proposition.
As mentioned above, when make producing seamless steel pipe and use blank,, proposed various schemes, but de-scaling is difficult fully, does not also reach the stage of making omission removing surface behind the blank in order to prevent to produce the iron scale defective on its surface.
During the removing surface of this external blank, off-line operation usually, production efficiency is low, and operating environment is also abominable.To realize clearing up under the situation of automation yield rate reduction and cost of equipment that need be very big.
Therefore the manufacture method of blank surface cleaning can be omitted or reduce to preferred development, particularly develops the manufacturing of the seamless steel pipe of Fe-Cr alloy and use blank behind split rolling method, can reduce the manufacture method of removing surface significantly.
Summary of the invention
The invention that The present invention be directed to above-mentioned the problems of the prior art and requirement exploitation manufacture method and carry out, its objective is to be provided at and make seamless steel pipe with under the situation of blank, can reduce the Fe-Cr alloy blank of the cleaning before the tubulation and other manufacture method significantly with split rolling method from the steel billet of Fe-Cr alloy.
The inventor is in view of the method for the removal iron scale of present use or motion, can not eliminate the situation of the iron scale defective that on blank surface, produces fully, imagination is not removed iron scale, covers blank surface by making iron scale on one's own initiative, suppresses blemish.
For this imagination is specialized, the split rolling method of the steel billet that adopts has been carried out detailed research in the manufacturing process of Fe-Cr alloy blank in the Fe-Cr alloy blank.
Fig. 1 is the steel billet split rolling method process of explanation in blank manufacturing process and the figure that follows the steel billet section variation situation of its generation.Steel billet section before this figure (a) expression split rolling method, the steel billet section in this figure (b) expression split rolling method process, (c) the blank section behind the expression split rolling method.Two frames with first frame and second frame are carried out split rolling method, and the first frame concave roll for example uses box hole roll, and second frame is used pass shape roll, implements reversible rolling respectively.
The steel billet 1 that uses in split rolling method is depressed at the face of respectively depressing gradually with first frame after being heated to about 1200 ℃, so shown in the figure (b), is processed to the steel billet 1 of rectangular cross section.The steel billet 1 of rectangular cross section second frame of packing into is rolled then, and the cross-sectional area of steel billet is diminished gradually, and so shown in the figure (c), finish rolling becomes the such shape of final blank 2.
The figure that the situation that Fig. 2 changes for the section configuration to the steel billet in the split rolling method process of making blank is elaborated.In split rolling method process shown in Figure 2, the cross-sectional area of steel billet 1 is reduced gradually, utilizes the rolling finish rolling of 10 passages to become final blank 2.In the identical operation of rolling, the steel billet 1 before the split rolling method is configured in longitudinally (being equivalent to Fig. 1 (a)), and it is rolling to carry out 7 passages in first frame, is processed into the steel billet 1 (being equivalent to Fig. 1 (b)) of rectangular cross section.To carry out 8 passages~10 passages in second frame rolling for the steel billet of rectangular cross section then, and finish rolling becomes final blank 2 (being equivalent to Fig. 1 (c)).
On paper shown in Figure 2, No.1,2,4,6, each passage of 8 and 10 are rolling from above-below direction, and each passage of No.3,5,7 and 9 passages is represented rolling from left and right directions.In the rolling operation of reality, steel billet was laterally fallen, be rolled the conversion of direction.
Steel billet 1 shown in above-mentioned Fig. 1 (a) is divided into high reduction ratio face 3 and low reduction ratio face 4, and high reduction ratio face 3 is illustrated in the high face of reduction ratio in the above-mentioned split rolling method, the other face of low reduction ratio face 4 expressions.As shown in Figure 2, in general split rolling method, because the steel billet before the split rolling method is configured on the longitudinally, so high reduction ratio face 3 is the face of minor face in the steel billet of slab shape, low reduction ratio face 4 is the face on long limit.
By above-mentioned Fig. 1 (a)~(c) and split rolling method process shown in Figure 2, each is depressed face and is depressed in first frame at steel billet 1, be rolled in second frame then, become by finish rolling under the situation of blank 2, to account for the area ratio of blank 2 outer surfaces identical for the part of the part of rate face 3 and low reduction ratio face 4 under steel billet 1 mesohigh.
Blank 2 sections behind the split rolling method shown in just above-mentioned Fig. 1 (c) are divided into quarter with high reduction ratio face 3 ' (in the part of rate face under the steel billet mesohigh) and low reduction ratio face 4 ' (part of rate face under the steel billet mesolow), are 90 ° with the central angle θ (accounting for the angle of blank 2 surface portions) of the high reduction ratio face 3 ' shown in the figure.
Fig. 3 is the integrally-built stereogram of blank behind the expression split rolling method.With in the concave roll of the first above-mentioned frame rolling, the constraint that the core of low reduction ratio face 4 directly is not subjected to depressing roll is even or suffer restraints and also compare very little with other parts.Therefore as shown in Figure 3, in the blank 2 behind split rolling method, on the charge length direction, produce wrinkle 5.
As what the concave roll that uses in the split rolling method exemplified box hole roll, diamond hole roll, elliptical aperture roll arranged.Box hole roll is effective to preventing that steel billet from falling down etc.Therefore consider the stability of split rolling method, adopt box-shaped hole roll mostly.
Therefore as with the wrinkle 5 of the blank behind the split rolling method 2 is benchmark, and high reduction ratio face 3 ' central angle can be specified the center with respect to blank 2, is the center with the face h vertical with wrinkle 5, ± 45 ° of (θ/2) scopes.
Manufacturing process to the Fe-Cr alloy blank carries out detailed research again about the understanding to the high reduction ratio face of steel billet and blank based on above-mentioned, and its result obtains the view of following (a)~(e).
(a) the iron scale defective in order to prevent to produce on Fe-Cr alloy blank surface, it is difficult removing the iron scale that produces on the steel billet before split rolling method fully.
(b) give up removing fully the idea of the iron scale that on steel billet, produces, studied the generation type of the iron scale that is difficult to when being created on split rolling method to be pressed into or is involved in.It found that with big area coverage close attachment and is difficult to be pressed into or be involved in during at split rolling method at the iron scale that generates on the steel billet.
(c) specifically, in blank manufacturing process, needn't carry out de-scaling with high pressure water descaling device etc.
(d) begin rolling (that carries out at first depresses) by high reduction ratio face in addition with first passage of split rolling method (first frame) from steel billet, can make iron scale more close attachment on steel billet.
(e) by adjusting the heating condition (atmosphere, heating-up temperature and temperature retention time) of steel billet, the iron scale that is difficult to come off in the time of can on steel billet, generating split rolling method with bigger area coverage.
The present invention is the invention of finishing on the basis of above-mentioned cognition, and its main points are manufacture methods of the Fe-Cr alloy blank of the Fe-Cr alloy blank of following (1) and (2)~(4).
(1) the Fe-Cr alloy blank is characterised in that, under high pressure in the rate face, iron oxide cortex area coverage ratio is more than 70%, more than 80% or more than 90%.
(2) manufacture method of Fe-Cr alloy blank is characterised in that, makes in the manufacture method of Fe-Cr alloy blank of blank steel billet being carried out split rolling method, does not implement descaling of steel stock and carries out split rolling method.
(3) manufacture method of Fe-Cr alloy blank is characterised in that, makes in the manufacture method of Fe-Cr alloy blank of blank steel billet being carried out split rolling method, behind the iron scale that generates on the steel billet more than the 1000 μ m, does not implement descaling of steel stock and carries out split rolling method.
(4) in the manufacture method of the Fe-Cr of above-mentioned (3) alloy blank, preferably at first the high reduction ratio face of above-mentioned steel billet is depressed.Preferably make in addition in the atmosphere of the water vapour of above-mentioned steel billet more than containing 2.5 volume %, more than 2 hours, generate iron scale in insulation under the heating-up temperature more than 1200 ℃.
So-called in the present invention " Fe-Cr alloy " is the ferrous alloy that contains 5~17%Cr, can contain the alloying element of other Ni, Mo etc. as required.
So-called " high reduction ratio face " of the present invention is meant at the steel billet split rolling method to become under the situation of blank, and the high face of reduction ratio in steel billet is the part of high reduction ratio face on the steel billet in blank before rolling.General in the steel billet of slab shape, high reduction ratio face is the face of minor face.
As above-mentioned shown in Figure 3, be benchmark simply with wrinkle, " high reduction ratio face " its central angle in the blank can be specified the center with respect to blank, is the center with the face vertical with wrinkle, ± 45 ° of (θ/2) scopes.To more correctly specify in " high reduction ratio face " in the blank, can use microscopic observation result the section of blank.
Fig. 4 represents the figure of an example of the photo observed result of blank section microcosmic.In the centre of the observation of microcosmic shown in oval-shaped dotted line, can see with split rolling method before the segregation of section directional correlation of steel billet.Just owing to produce the position and the position consistency that steel billet finally solidifies of segregation, this section configuration of finally solidifying the long limit face 4 of position and steel billet and minor face face 3 compositions is relevant.
According to the result that the photo of section microcosmic shown in Figure 4 is observed, the face parallel with oval-shaped dotted line is long limit face 4, is " low reduction ratio face ", is minor face face 3 with the face vertical with oval-shaped dotted line, is in " high reduction ratio face ".Therefore after being rolled into blank and since residual have with split rolling method before the segregation of steel billet section directional correlation, so can determine blank " high reduction ratio face " from the segregation distribution situation shown in the oval dotted line.
As mentioned above, the high reduction ratio face in the blank outer surface after the manufacturing is identical with the area ratio of low reduction ratio face, and the blank section is divided into quarter with high reduction ratio face and low reduction ratio face.Therefore the value of " area ratio of high reduction ratio face " of regulation (the iron scale area is the ratio on the rate face under high pressure) can be replaced as " (blank) whole area ratio " (iron scale area ratio in whole blank area) as being multiplied by 1/2 in the present invention.
In the present invention just, in other words can be specified to " whole area ratio is more than 35% " to " area ratio of high reduction ratio face is more than 70% ", can be specified to " whole area ratio is more than 40% " to " area ratio of high reduction ratio face is more than 80% ", can be specified to " whole area ratio is more than 45% " to " area ratio of high reduction ratio face is more than 90% ".

The specific embodiment
Fe-Cr alloy blank of the present invention is characterised in that its high reduction ratio face area ratio is more than 70%, more than 80% or 90% above iron oxide cortex covers.In other words it is characterized in that, is more than 35%, more than 40% or 45% above iron oxide cortex covering with whole area ratio.
Shown in the embodiment of back, under high pressure rate face area ratio is that the cleaning ratio is compared with the Comparative Examples of implementing de-scaling, can reduce 50% under the situation of the iron scale covering more than 70%.
In Fe-Cr alloy blank of the present invention, the area ratio of high reduction ratio face is high more, and blank cleaning ratio has low more tendency.For example under high pressure rate face area ratio is under the situation of the iron scale covering more than 80%, the cleaning ratio becomes about 30% of Comparative Examples, be that the cleaning ratio becomes about 20% of Comparative Examples under the situation of the iron oxide cortex covering more than 90% with area ratio equally.Therefore the ratio of the area ratio of the high reduction ratio face of iron scale covering and blank surface generation defective is closely related.
In manufacture method of the present invention, it is characterized in that, in the split rolling method to steel billet, in order to remove when steel billet heats the iron scale that generates, unreally use de-scaling such as high pressure water descaling device.This is because as previously mentioned, owing to also do not remove the technology of iron scale fully, incomplete or inhomogeneous residual iron scale will prevent being pressed into and being involved in to cause and producing the firecoat scar of iron scale.
In manufacture method of the present invention, the regulation split rolling method is not from the high reduction ratio face of steel billet or which face of low reduction ratio face, but preferably from the high reduction ratio face of steel billet.Because by the first rolling passage of rate face rolling-cogging under high pressure, can make in the abundant compacting of the iron scale that forms on the steel billet under high pressure on the rate face.
Make the iron scale compacting under high pressure the reason on the rate face be, to form the firecoat scar easily as being pressed into halfway on the big face of reduction ratio with residual iron scale state.In the present invention, as with area ratio iron scale being adhered to, in the process of after this split rolling method, iron scale is difficult to be pressed in the mother metal of steel billet.The area ratio that iron scale covers is high approximately, and this tendency approximately significantly.
In manufacture method of the present invention, it is characterized in that, be created on and be difficult in the split rolling method becoming defective on the steel billet, be difficult to produce the iron scale more than the thickness 1000 μ m of defective on the blank surface after the manufacturing.This iron scale thickness can obtain by the heating condition (atmosphere, heating-up temperature and temperature retention time) of adjusting steel billet.
Fig. 5~Fig. 7 is illustrated in the figure of relation that Fe-Cr alloy blank surface under the situation of not carrying out de-scaling produces the iron scale thickness of the ratio of defective and steel billet.The alloy A that contains 5~17%Cr, B and C as shown in the sample use table 1 are respectively, and Fig. 5 represents that relation, the Fig. 6 with Sample A represents that relation, Fig. 7 with sample B represents the relation with sample C.
Table 1
As concrete condition, when Sample A, B and C are heated to 1200 ℃ with the atmosphere heating furnace, change temperature retention time, when making the iron scale varied in thickness of the high reduction ratio face of steel billet and low reduction ratio face, measured the ratio that blank surface produces defective.Being heated to 1200 ℃ with the atmosphere heating furnace is because this is the heating-up temperature that is fit to for the resistance of deformation that is reduced in the split rolling method.
After the mensuration of the ratio of blank surface generation defective is removed the iron scale of blank surface with blast cleaning in addition, detect blemish, produce the ratio of defective with the radical of (generation defective radical/total radical) than expression with the leakage magnetic flux defectoscopy.
From the result of Fig. 5~Fig. 7 as can be seen, along with the iron scale thickening, the ratio that produces defective reduces.Iron scale thickness as high reduction ratio face is 1000 μ m, and the ratio that produces defective is below 35%, and as becoming 1200 μ m, the ratio that produces defective is below 25% in addition.As illustrating among the embodiment that narrates later, this result compares with the Comparative Examples of reproducing existing method, and the ratio that produces defective reduces half, can also reduce to about 1/3.
According to this situation, before split rolling method, the iron scale thickness of steel billet must be more than 1000 μ m, more preferably more than 1200 μ m in the present invention.
Detailed mechanism is not clear, estimate as will suppress the ratio of blank surface generation defective, because the iron oxide cortex with big as far as possible area ratio covers the blank surface of extending in the split rolling method, guarantee that iron scale amount to a certain degree is effectively, guarantee that just iron scale thickness is effective.
Fig. 8 changes for expression under the situation of the water vapour amount in heating furnace atmosphere, the figure of the iron scale thickness of steel billet and the relation of holding temperature.The water vapour amount that is contained in the atmosphere gas is changed in volume % 0%, 2.5%, 10% and 20%.
Sample uses the alloy B that contains 13%Cr shown in the above-mentioned table 1,10%CO
2-5%O
2-Bal.N
2Be the basis of atmosphere gas, make the concentration that is contained in the water vapour in the atmosphere gas in 0~20% range.Be heated to 1200 ℃ to steel billet this moment, changes temperature retention time, measured the iron scale thickness that produces on steel billet.
Make steel billet in 1~6 hour temperature retention time, after the oxidation, cut sample, be processed into the microscopic structure sample, carry out the iron scale Determination of thickness from the section observed result.The structure of the iron scale of this moment is shown in table 2.
According to the result of Fig. 8, in the atmosphere of moisture vapor not, to obtain the iron scale more than the 1000 μ m, need approximately heating 6 hours.The atmosphere of moisture vapor and atmospheric atmosphere are not much at one.
On the other hand, by in atmosphere, containing the water vapour more than 2.5%, oxidation rate is obviously accelerated.Will obtain the above iron scale thickness of 1200 μ m effectively, in the atmosphere that contains the water vapour more than 2.5%, it is just passable more than 2 hours that steel billet is heated to 1200 ℃ of insulations.
Table 2
As shown in table 2, the structure of iron scale all is the two-layer structure of outer oxide iron sheet and internal layer iron scale.In the present invention, so-called outer oxide iron sheet is that so-called internal layer iron scale is the iron scale that generates in the inboard than original billet surface than the original billet surface iron scale that becomes of adnation outside.

The structure of iron scale can be above-mentioned any form, but preferably there is the structure of FeO in the scale structure of giving birth to the iron scale defective as more having difficult labour.This is because the FeO deformability is strong, also is difficult to crack the destruction of waiting even bear big depressing, and is lower than steel owing to high temperature hardness in addition, is difficult to produce the flaw that is pressed into.

4Carrying out under the situation of stretcher strain with extremely low speed in the laboratory more than 800 ℃ in heating-up temperature, produce to extend, but deformation velocity that can not be when rolling, can crack and peel off.In contrast, FeO follows the deformation velocity when rolling and is out of shape, and does not crack.
Under the situation that FeO exists, preferably the thickness in the outer oxide iron sheet when observing the section microscopic structure is more than 30%.Can use the color of section microstructure observation, the O of usefulness EPMA
2(oxygen) conversion and differentiate that with X-ray diffraction the structure of whole iron scale measures the thickness of FeO in advance.
Surpass 20% as water vapor concentration in addition, it is saturated gradually with the effect of the ratio that increases FeO to improve the iron scale formation speed.Therefore consider the damage of the furnace wall etc. of heating furnace, be defined as about 25% on the preferred water vapour concentration.
In the present invention, the iron scale thickness that guarantee steel billet is more than 1000 μ m, and the heating-up temperature of preferred steel billet is more than 1200 ℃.Not only from generating the viewpoint of iron scale, the viewpoint of the processability during from split rolling method is also preferably more than 1200 ℃ for heating-up temperature in addition.On the other hand, consider the damage of equipment etc. equally, the upper limit of heating-up temperature is preferably below 1300 ℃.
In the present invention, for the iron scale thickness that makes steel billet more than 1000 μ m, under the situation more than 1200 ℃, preferred temperature retention time is more than 2 hours in the heating-up temperature that makes steel billet.
(embodiment 1)
According to concrete (embodiment 1) and (embodiment 2), the effect of the manufacture method performance of the Fe-Cr alloy blank of the present invention regulation is described.Sample adopts the alloy A that contains 5~17%Cr, B and the C shown in the above-mentioned table 1, and the raw material of steel billet use the big shaped blooms CC material of minor face 280mm * length limit 600mm * 7400mm.This steel billet is implemented in the atmosphere heating furnace (not moisture vapor) 1200 ℃ of heating 6 hours.After the steel billet heating is being 100kg/cm with pressure again
2High pressure water descaling device carry out the situation of de-scaling and do not carry out making under two kinds of conditions of situation of de-scaling.
The split rolling method of steel billet carries out with two frames of first and second, implements reversible rolling respectively.Carried out depressing of high reduction ratio face or depressing of low reduction ratio face rolling being divided in the 1st passage of first frame.After this be pressed down to the section configuration of about minor face 250mm * length limit 400mm in first frame, be worked into the blank of final φ 225 then in the second frame finish rolling.
After making blank, remove scale on surface, implement the flaw inspection with the NDI failure detector of leakage magnetic flux defectoscopy with blast cleaning.Be flaw more than the degree of depth 0.5mm wherein as object.Directly do not carry out becoming the surface blemish of steel pipe under the rolling situation of tubulation owing to not clearing up, so must carry out removing surface at the flaw more than the depth of defect 0.5mm.Defect length does not have established standards, considers to be rolled down to final products, and be object for example with much length with the defective of tens of mm.
Radical ratio with (producing defective radical/total radical) has been estimated the generation defective proportion.Investigated the area ratio of iron scale covering blank surface at last.The mensuration of the area ratio of iron scale is to get section observation sample at every 1m from high reduction ratio face from blank, measures the iron scale strip length with microstructure observation and estimates with the area ratio of { (the average iron scale strip length of the average iron scale strip length * transverse direction of longitudinal direction)/whole area }.The area ratio of iron scale uses the mean value of the area ratio of whole samples in each blank.
Table 3~the ratio of table 5 expression generation defective at this moment and the iron scale area ratio of the high reduction ratio face of covering blank.Table 3 is to contain the result of the alloy A of 5%Cr as sample, and table 4 is to contain the result of the alloy B of 13%Cr as sample, and table 5 is to contain the result of the alloy C of 17%Cr as sample.
In (embodiment 1), under the situation of using any sample, the thickness of the iron scale that the steel billet after coming out from heating furnace forms is approximately 1000 μ m, and scale structure is the outer Fe that is

Shown in table 3~table 5, in split rolling method, implement under the situation of de-scaling as a comparison case, the covering of iron scale under high pressure the area ratio of rate face be 45~50% (for whole area 22.5~25%), produce defective proportion almost near sum, the radical ratio with 92~98% needs removing surface.
In contrast, first passage is implemented the rolling of low reduction ratio face among the present invention, the area ratio that iron scale is covered as high reduction ratio face bring up to 70~73% (for whole area 35~36.5%), produce defective proportion and compare with Comparative Examples and reduce half, be 44~47%.First passage is implemented the rolling of high reduction ratio face, the area ratio that iron scale is covered as high reduction ratio face bring up to 80~83% (for whole area 40~41.5%), produce defective proportion simultaneously and compare with Comparative Examples and also reduce to 1/3, be 32~35%.
From the result shown in table 3~table 5 as can be seen, the area ratio that covers with high reduction ratio face as iron scale is about 70% (whole area ratio is 35%), producing defective proportion compares with the Comparative Examples of having implemented de-scaling, be reduced to 50%, the area ratio that covers with high reduction ratio face as iron scale is about 80% (whole area ratio is 40%) in addition, and the generation defective proportion is compared also with Comparative Examples and is reduced to about 1/3.
Also have unclear place for detailed mechanism, but infer that this is owing to by to make the iron scale close attachment near more than certain area ratio of whole, can suppress to become the generation that is pressed into and is involved in the uneven iron scale of reason.
(embodiment 2)
Sample, the steel billet raw material of use and embodiment 1 the same terms heat the steel billet that obtains in heating furnace.Be connected the water vapour adding set on the atmospheric furnace this moment, makes atmosphere variation in the stove, simultaneously 1200 ℃ of heating of carrying out 6 hours.
Generation defective proportion after condition, the blank of the split rolling method after the heating are made is identical with the situation of (embodiment 1) with the condition determination of the area ratio that iron scale covers, and has investigated the influence of heating atmosphere to blank generation defective proportion.The result of table 6~table 8 expression investigation.
In the investigation result, table 6 expression contains the situation of the alloy A of 5%Cr as sample, and table 7 expression contains the situation of the alloy B of 13%Cr as sample, and table 8 expression contains the situation of the alloy C of 17%Cr as sample.Use in (embodiment 2) under the situation of any sample, the iron scale thickness that covers blank surface all is more than the 150 μ m.

Annotate) sample: contain 17%Cr alloy C
Shown in table 6~table 8, in example of the present invention, increase as can be seen with the water vapor concentration in the atmosphere, the area ratio of the high reduction ratio face that iron scale covers increases, and the generation defective proportion of blank reduces simultaneously.This is because by increasing the water vapour amount, generate thick iron scale on steel billet, generates the FeO that more is difficult to be pressed into mother metal simultaneously during split rolling method.
In the example of the present invention of each sample that uses, as test shown in No.A8~9, B8~9, C8~9, by in the atmosphere that contains the water vapour of concentration more than 10%, be incubated steel billet before the split rolling method more than 2 hours in the heating-up temperature more than 1200 ℃, generate iron scale, the area ratio of the high reduction ratio face of iron scale covering is increased to more than 93%, simultaneously the generation defective proportion of blank is reduced to below 22%.
Industrial applicibility
As adopt the manufacture method of Fe-Cr alloy blank of the present invention, because with big Area Ratio The iron oxide cortex of example covers the high reduction ratio face of steel billet, carries out split rolling method, can reduce oxygen Change being pressed into and being involved in of iron sheet. Making the seamless steel pipe blank with the Fe-Cr alloy billet like this Situation under, can cut down significantly the removing surface before the tubulation.
Therefore as in the tubulation of seamless steel pipe, adopting this Fe-Cr alloy blank, even relatively Unmanageable Fe-Cr alloy pipe also can be made with cheap manufacturing cost institute effectively Can be widely used in the manufacturing field of hot rolled seamless steel tube.
