In another exemplary embodiment, the manufacture method of thick-walled seamless steel pipes also can adopt following mode to realize in the used in nuclear power station heavy caliber of the present invention:
(1) total process flow can for: Φ 600mm round steel billet (for example, electroslag round ingot) → turning cinder hole → blank heating → Mannesmann piercing mill perforation → Φ 508mm Pilger pilger mill unit rolled pipe base → hot saw end to end → cool off → turn that → 1000 tons of the softening heat treatment → aligning of the 100 tons of pipe expanding set hole enlargement → pipes → whole reconditioning of surfaces externally and internally → pipe ultrasonic examination preliminary examination → pickling → cleanings → phosphatizations → lubricated pressure at accurate nights is pulled out machine draw → aligning → finishing → size and surface quality inspection → packing is put in storage.
(2) steel billet through LF concise+Fruit storage after, make via electroslag remelting again.The degree of eccentricity is answered≤5mm during the turning cinder hole.
(3) by rotary heating furnace with steel billet homogeneous heating to 1230~1250 ℃, preferably, be heated to 1235~1245 ℃.For example, when steel billet carries out concrete heating operation in annular furnace, annular furnace is not answered<800 ℃ for the hot arc temperature, want empty 5~7 dischargings to put before and after the furnace charge, should guarantee that other charge-temperatures do not affect this billet heating temperature, the spacing that requires steel billet to arrange in stove is 800mm, homogeneous heating at a slow speed in should adopting, and guarantee equal thermal effect, heating must not occur because heating uneven male and female face, not saturating, overheated, the burn-off phenomenon of heating of producing, the heating steel billet time can be generally 11~13 hours greater than 11 hours, 1235~1245 ℃ of the steel temperature of coming out of the stove.
(4) Mannesmann piercing mill perforation step, need to make the hollow billet after the perforation visual straight as far as possible, total length external diameter in the same size, must adjust the airduct absolute altitude after the perforation and blow off inner surface oxidized iron sheet over against the hollow billet center, strengthen simultaneously inspection, the reinforcement mandrel lubrication of hollow billet inwall and internal strain instrument, to guarantee the steel pipe internal-surface quality.And should according to different production specifications, match corresponding perforating head size.For example, for Φ 600mm steel billet, capillary outer diameter is controlled at 640~650mm, guarantees hollow billet length≤4m.
(5) in the step of hot-rolled tube billet, use that Φ 508mm Pilger pilger mill unit is rolling to be rolled into pipe with hollow billet, guarantee that the total length wall thickness deviation of pipe is controlled at ± 8%, and the section wall thickness extreme difference of pipe is no more than 80% of its total length wall thickness deviation.Specifically, for the wall thickness extreme difference of guaranteeing hot-rolled tube billet is qualified, pulls out size for essence and reach product technology and require to create conditions, before the hot rolling tube rolling, the tool and moulds such as breaker roll, godet, top, plug check, press the intermediate value outfit tool and mould of tube blank size deviation; In the billet production process, should slow down the speed of taking the lead, control feed quantity well, the regrate coefficient is not less than 2.5, and the section of avoiding producing plane, rib, convex closure and wall thickness is poor overproof.Φ 508mm Pilger pilger mill unit rolled pipe base (for example, external diameter (OD) 510mm) should guarantee the total length wall thickness deviation be controlled at ± 8% in, section wall thickness extreme difference is no more than 80% of wall thickness deviation.
(6) for guaranteeing that essence is pulled out rear finished size and surface quality meets the demands, the geometrical dimension tolerances of pipe need satisfy D ± 0.75%, S ± 10% after heat expands.And the Pilger head end that can use rolling pipe during expander is as horn mouth, expands to blow the hole site according to rolling pipe after system is finished and carry out the horn mouth excision.Specifically, in actual production, control following aspect:
The first, the foreground material feeding length of drawing type pipe expander must be greater than 5.5m;
The second, must not occur expanding wrinkle during the hydraulic press bell mouth expanding, expand and split and expand askewly, otherwise answer again enlarging after the sawing.
The 3rd, the walking-beam furnace heating-up temperature is by 1000~1100 ℃ of controls, and can be 100min~150min heat time heating time, and should mark time and advance, and guarantees homogeneous heating, guarantees heating quality, and prevents male and female face etc. and add thermal defect;
The 4th, before the blank pipe is come out of the stove, should carry out the preparation of expansion machine.After the blank pipe is come out of the stove, go up as early as possible the expansion machine and expand system, reduce as far as possible the cooling amount because of blank pipe in the pilot process.
The 5th, adopt the heat of small deformation amount multi-pass to expand mode, the mode of described small deformation amount multi-pass refer to every with heating of pipe blank to 1000~1100 ℃ once after, pipe is carried out 2 to 4 passage hole enlargements, and every time hole enlargement amount is controlled to be is not more than 20mm, guarantee to expand thick pipe physical dimension and meet the demands.Expand when processed, the graphite lubrication that should strengthen coming directly towards is guaranteed the steel pipe internal-surface quality.
(7) after the hole enlargement step, pipe is softened heat treatment.Softening heat treatment step is for guaranteeing that follow-up draw step plays an important role smoothly.Specifically, be in the situation of high-alloy steel (for example, P91 etc.) at described pipe, described softening heat treatment step adopts full annealing technique; In described pipe is, in the situation of low-alloy steel (for example, WB36CN1 etc.), described softening heat treatment step adopts normalizing to add tempering process.Above-mentioned full annealing technique can for: with behind heating of pipe blank to 900~950 ℃, be incubated for first scheduled time, every millimeter of the wall thickness that described first scheduled time is pressed pipe calculated (namely in 6~8 minutes, be the pipe of x millimeter for wall thickness, its first scheduled time is 6x~8x minute, for example, x is 40, and then first scheduled time was 240~320 minutes); Then be chilled to 480~520 ℃, the air cooling of coming out of the stove at last with 30~35 ℃/hour speed stove.Above-mentioned normalizing add tempering process can for: with behind heating of pipe blank to 900~950 ℃, be incubated for second scheduled time, described second scheduled time is pressed every millimeter calculating (that is, be the pipe of x millimeter for wall thickness, its second scheduled time is 2x~3x minute) in 2~3 minutes of wall thickness of pipe; Then come out of the stove air cooling to room temperature, after advancing again stove and being warming up to 650~700 ℃, be incubated for the 3rd scheduled time, every millimeter of the wall thickness that described the 3rd scheduled time is pressed pipe calculated (namely in 6~8 minutes, be the pipe of x millimeter for wall thickness, its the 3rd scheduled time is 6x~8x minute), the air cooling of coming out of the stove at last.Adopt above-mentioned softening Technology for Heating Processing can: the yield strength of high-alloy steel (for example, P91 etc.) pipe is controlled to be is not more than 350MPa; Will in, the yield strength of low-alloy steel (for example, WB36, CN1 etc.) pipe is controlled to be and is not more than 450MPa.
(8) after processing through thermal expansion, because heating and to have formed thickness at steel pipe internal-surface thicker and adhere to closely oxide layer, and in the thermal expansion process, can embed inwall after oxide layer comes off, form pit not of uniform size, these all can have a strong impact on the carrying out that essence is pulled out operation, therefore, take the whole thinning technique of surfaces externally and internally, reconditioning quality control can be at 1.0~1.8mm, thereby can remove the defectives such as scuffing, pockmark of outer surface of tube blank oxide skin and inner surface.
(9) because essence is pulled out the cold deformation process defective of pipe there is enlarge-effect, even trickle defective also can cause the steel tube surface defective, therefore most important to the control of pipe surface quality, essence is pulled out front reply pipe and is carried out the ultrasonic examination preliminary examination by L2 equivalent among the GB/T5777, detects a flaw can carry out essence after qualified and pull out operation.
(10) precise hydraulic drawbench draw (being called for short essence pulls out)
Steel pipe is through after essence pulls out distortion, and dimensional accuracy improves, but essence is pulled out distortion and how many dimensional accuracies can be improved each time, then is difference to some extent with the difference of steel grade, steel pipe specification.The sprung back that essence is pulled out after the distortion can affect the steel pipe sizes precision, and when resistance of deformation was high, the sprung back is just large, and was also larger to the steel pipe sizes Accuracy.Finally determined smart withdrawing pattern tool size after considering the factors such as steel grade, specification and product size permissible variation of steel pipe, as follows:
Pipe specification: 565~616mm * 27~42mm (design wall thickness reducing amount 1.5~2.5mm, sizing reduction 4~7mm)
Draw external mold mould: 560~610mm
Draw internal mold mould: 480~560mm
Essence is pulled out thick trimmed size 559~610mm * 25~40mm, length 〉=5 meter
Here, before the draw step, tube blank size and surface are checked that next right back head carries out pickling, cleaning, phosphatization and lubricated successively.Concrete condition is as follows:
