Embodiment
Below the present invention is carried out comparatively detailed explanation.
Among the present invention, unless otherwise, content all is mass percentage content.
In order to realize the object of the invention; Soft attitude austenite stainless steel plate material is provided; This austenitic stainless steel also has excellent corrosion resistance nature except having good deep processing performance, can be applicable to any field that the 304L austenitic stainless steel is used; But also be specially adapted to field that processability and corrosion resistance nature are had relatively high expectations, each constituent content control is as follows in the austenitic stainless steel of the present invention:
Carbon is strong formation and stable austenite and enlarge the element of austenitic area in austenitic stainless steel, so carbon plays effect of crucial importance to forming austenite structure, but carbon content can cause carbide Cr when too high
23C
6Separate out, reduce the intergranular corrosion resistance performance and the pitting resistance of austenitic stainless steel, can cause the work hardening of material in addition; Material is anti-corrosion to be considered with reduction work hardening angle from improving; Its content is low more good more, but carbon content was controlled low obviously increase smelting procedure cost, therefore can usually solidify the carbon content in the steel through adding trace amount of titanium unit; The poor chromium phenomenon of crystal boundary that prevents to form the chromium carbon cpd in the steel and cause; Thereby the corrosion resisting property that causes descends, and the reduction of particularly intergranular corrosion performance is therefore in the present invention with carbon content≤0.025%; Preferably, carbon content≤0.020%, more preferably carbon content is 0.011-0.020%.
Nitrogen is the element of strong formation and stable austenite and expansion austenitic area; But in austenitic stainless steel, nitrogen is tangible work hardening element, and the cold hardening effect of its generation is very obvious; This cold hardening is unfavorable for the deep processing of material, especially multi-pass deep processing distortion.In addition owing to added micro-titanium elements in the alloying constituent of the present invention; If thereby the too high meeting of nitrogen content causes in the casting cycle and to produce TiN and be mingled with and cause the continuously cast bloom surface to form a large amount of defectives, perhaps even stop up the mouth of a river and cause being difficult to casting, therefore from reducing the materials processed sclerosis and improving the surface quality of continuously cast slab angle and consider; Its content is low more good more; So nitrogen in steel content of the present invention≤0.02%, preferably, N:0.009-0.02%.Ti is as the strong stabilizing element that forms carbon, nitrogen compound in the stainless steel; Be mainly used in and prevent that chromium in the steel from combining with carbon to form the chromium carbon cpd and the poor chromium of intergranular that causes; Thereby cause solidity to corrosion to descend; But the nitrogen that adds in affiliation and the stainless steel of titanium forms the TiN compound, thereby influences the surface quality and the inner quality of steel; In the process of smelting, add titanium, the TiN of its formation can float in the process that stirs, thereby reduces the nitrogen content in the molten steel to a certain extent, and the present invention is controlled to be Ti >=6C from solidifying the angle of carbon with finished product.
The control of other element mainly is to design with reference to 304 alloying constituent system, wherein Cr, Ni content confirm it mainly is the requirement of on 304 stainless bases, satisfying its Ni, Cr equivalence ratio, and S, P are impurity element, require low as far as possible.Mn is the reductor product, also is inevitable.
Preferably, Cr:18.00-19.00 among the present invention, more preferably, Cr:18.00-18.50%;
Ni:10.00-12.00%, preferably, Ni:10.00-11.20%;
Mn≤2%, preferably, Mn≤1.5%, more preferably, Mn:1.0-1.5%;
Si≤0.40%, preferably, Si:0.30-0.40%;
S≤0.015%, preferably, S≤0.005%;
P≤0.045%, preferably, P≤0.030%.
Because the ferrite content in the austenitic stainless steel is high more, explains that it is more unstable, easy more generation martensitic transformation in the process of cold deformation, thus influence its cold-forming property, multi-pass cold deformation especially.Therefore through balance nickel chromium equivalent forming element; Austenitic stainless steel as cast condition high temperature ferritic δ content is controlled to be less than 5%; Mainly be in order to guarantee the stability of austenite structure in the material, it is too much because the work hardening that martensite causes that it can not produced in the process of cold deformation.
The denitrogenation of tradition austenitic stainless steel mainly is the omnidistance Argon through argon oxygen degasification furnace AOD; Utilize argon gas bubbles refining theory to remove a part of nitrogen content; Realize the reduction of nitrogen content in the molten steel, tap after AOD skims, then casting to the LF refining; And the nitrogen pick-up phenomenon of the limited and AOD that the present invention considers AOD denitrogenation ability in the LF process; Therefore after the reduction of AOD station finishes, skim, the back molten steel of skimming adds lime and fluorite carries out the secondary slag making, and N content is controlled at 0.015-0.025%; Molten steel per ton adds 70% purity TiFe powder 3-10Kg to the ladle of tapping after the secondary slag making; The tapping back adds the low-carbon (LC) synthetic slag and changes slag operation, further absorbs TiN and is mingled with; Be with slag to tap then to LF; When molten steel arrives the refining of LF refining furnace, can add a certain amount of TiFe silk, guarantee to satisfy Ti >=6C, and cast after stirring that casting back finished product nitrogen content can be controlled in below 0.020%;
Carrying out skimming for twice after the AOD reduction finishes, mainly is the inclusion of removing in the molten steel for better, and pure molten steel is for follow-up reduction nitrogen content is laid a good foundation;
Molten steel per ton adds 70% above purity TiFe powder 3-10Kg to the ladle of tapping after the secondary slag making; And the tapping back adds the low-carbon (LC) synthetic slag and changes slag operation; Mainly be to contain titanium alloy through adding to make the nitrogen content in itself and the molten steel form the TIN inclusion; The part that neutralizes in advance nitrogen content, and these nitride inclusions can be absorbed by covering slag through come-up, the low-carbon (LC) synthetic slag that the tapping back adds also is to be mingled with in order better to absorb TiN; Avoid TiN to be mingled with and reside in the molten steel, reduce the nitrogen content in the molten steel;
Band slag tapping mainly is that the molten steel in the ladle is exposed in the atmosphere, and covering slag can play the effect of secluding air, reduces the nitrogen pick-up phenomenon in the molten steel.
At molten steel when the refining of LF refining furnace, can add a certain amount of (like 70% above purity, TiFe silk 40-250Kg), its effect mainly is for the carbon content in the solidified alloy better, avoids the formation of carbon chromium cpd and influences its corrosive nature.
Particularly, the present invention is controlled to be carbon content less than 0.025% through on common 304L austenitic stainless steel basis; Nitrogen content is controlled at below 0.020%; Thereby reduce because the cold hardening phenomenon that strengthening element causes, through adjustment Ni, Cr equivalent forming element and make high temperature ferritic δ content in the as cast condition austenitic stainless steel, thereby reduce because the work hardening that the martensite that forms in the cold hardening process causes less than 5%; Ti content is controlled to be Ti >=6C; Mainly be for guarantee its superior corrosion resistance can, and adopted special nitrogen content control method, i.e. skim after refining station reduction finishes; Carry out the secondary slag making after skimming, N content is controlled at 0.015-0.025%; Molten steel per ton adds 70% purity TiFe powder 3-10Kg to the ladle of tapping after the secondary slag making; The tapping back adds the low-carbon (LC) synthetic slag and changes slag operation, further absorbs TiN and is mingled with; When the refining of LF refining furnace, can add that a certain amount of (like 70% above purity, TiFe silk 40-250Kg) guarantees to satisfy Ti >=6C, and casts after stirring, and the finished product nitrogen content can be controlled in below 0.020% after the casting at molten steel; Through the optimization of mentioned component and the employing of control nitrogen process program, obtained a kind of soft attitude austenitic stainless steel.
The austenite stainless steel plate material that the present invention obtained, material is softer, and plasticity and toughness are better, and processability is excellent, also has good solidity to corrosion.Than conventional products 304L sheet material, the austenite stainless steel plate material that the present invention is prepared, the finished product have better plasticity and toughness, and material has excellent corrosion resisting performance.
Embodiment 1-4
According to austenite stainless composition of steel of the present invention, see table 1, adopt electric furnace+AOD+LF melting, after finishing, the reduction of refining station skims, carry out the secondary slag making after skimming, N content is controlled at 0.015-0.025%; Molten steel per ton adds 70% purity TiFe powder 3-10Kg to the ladle of tapping after the secondary slag making; The tapping back adds the low-carbon (LC) synthetic slag and changes slag operation; When molten steel arrives the refining of LF refining furnace, add the TiFe silk 40-250Kg of 70% purity, Ti content is controlled at 0.10-0.25%; And being cast into the thick continuously cast bloom of 200mm after stirring, casting back finished product nitrogen content is controlled at below 0.020%; Continuously cast bloom obtains the 3-60mm heavy-gauge sheeting through heating, rolling back pickling;
In order to contrast; Present general 304L (Comparative Examples 1) has also been carried out the EAF+AOD+LF smelting; Through finding such steel behind the hot rolling acid-cleaning because the work hardening phenomenon that martensite deformation and strengthening element C, N cause is very obvious; Apparently higher than composition of the present invention, smelted a stove and the very approaching austenitic stainless steel of composition of the present invention like its Md30 simultaneously, but owing to do not adopt control nitrogen method described in the invention in the smelting link; Find that the finished product nitrogen content obviously increases, there is the nitride inclusion defective in surface of steel plate.
Md30 is the stabilization of austenite metric, is an important indicator that influences the austenitic stainless steel cold-forming property, and wherein Md30 is more little, shows that austenite is stable more mutually.Low Md30 value explanation austenite structure is more stable in deformation process, promptly when the cold working of material or moulding, especially in the cold working and moulding process of multiple operation, has avoided to a certain extent because the processability deterioration that the sclerosis of last working procedure processing causes.Wherein Md30 adopts following calculation formula: Md30=497-462 (C%+N%)-9.2Si%-8.1Mn%-13.7Cr%-20Ni%.
