Description

Ultralow-temperature steel for hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment and preparation process thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of ultralow-temperature steel, and particularly relates to ultralow-temperature steel for hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment and a preparation process thereof.
Background
The ultralow-temperature steel is mainly used for storing and transporting liquid hydrogen, liquefied natural gas, liquid nitrogen, liquid oxygen and the like, and has wide application in the fields of energy, chemical industry and the like. Important parts of hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment, such as containers, pipelines and valves, are long-term service in low-temperature environments below-200 ℃, and are key equipment in the field of low-temperature industry. With the reduction of the use temperature, the steel material is changed from a ductile state to a brittle state, and if defects or load fluctuation exist at the moment, sudden brittle fracture can be caused, so that serious safety accidents are generated. In order to improve the safety of hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment, containers, pipelines, valves and the like used in ultra-low temperature environments are generally manufactured by Ni-based low temperature steel. The content of residual austenite is increased by adding Ni element, so that the reverse transformation of austenite is promoted, and the low-temperature toughness is improved. In general, as the Ni content increases, the low-temperature toughness of Ni-based steel is gradually improved, and meanwhile, the Ni-based steel has enough strength, so that the good low-temperature resistance of hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment can be ensured.
In recent years, various patent applications have been filed to control the toughness of Ni-based ultra-low temperature steels. For example, the patent application "a heat treatment process for improving the low-temperature impact toughness of 9Ni steel" (CN 104745770A) improves the low-temperature impact toughness of 9Ni steel through two-phase zone quenching, secondary normalizing and other processes, and optimizes the mechanical properties of 9Ni steel; the patent application discloses a toughening treatment process (CN 106893816B) for high-nickel low-carbon series steel, which combines a multi-pass heat treatment and a deep cooling treatment process, and improves the strength and the low-temperature toughness through carbide precipitation strengthening effect.
With the continuous development of hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment, the requirements on low-temperature toughness, strength and safety are continuously improved. Under the principle of controllable cost (no increase of Ni content), the development of Ni-based ultralow-temperature steel with good technological performance, excellent low-temperature toughness and high strength is very critical. In general, the strength and toughness of steel materials are contradictory, and the higher the strength, the lower the toughness, and vice versa. In order to solve the problem, the invention develops ultralow-temperature steel for hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment and a preparation process thereof on the basis of not increasing the content of Ni element according to the theory of crystal grain ultrafine, can reduce ductile-brittle transition temperature, remarkably improves low-temperature toughness and keeps good strength.

A preparation process of ultralow-temperature steel for hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment comprises the following specific steps:
step one, homogenizing: the mass percentages are as follows: c: 0.06-0.1%, ni:6.5 to 10.5 percent of Mn:1.0 to 1.5 percent of Cr:0.8 to 1.5 percent of Si:0.3 to 0.5 percent of aluminum Al:0.3 to 0.5 percent, and the rest of the Fe element sample is heated to 1100 to 1160 ℃ and is preserved for 120 to 180 minutes until the alloy element and the carbide are completely dissolved, thus obtaining a uniform single-phase austenite structure;
step two, forging for the first time: forging the obtained single-phase austenite, wherein the forging temperature range is 850-1050 ℃, the forging ratio is 50-80%, the final forging temperature is 850-950 ℃, and then cooling to room temperature;
step three, austenitizing: reheating the sample after primary forging to 800-900 ℃, and preserving heat for 20-40 minutes;
step four, secondary forging: spray cooling the austenitized sample, and performing secondary forging when the sample is cooled to 50-100 ℃ below the A1 temperature line: the forging ratio is 50-70%, the forging direction is perpendicular to the one-time forging direction, the final forging temperature is 100 ℃ below the A1 temperature line, and water cooling is performed immediately to room temperature after the forging is finished;
step five, heating in a two-phase region: reheating the sample after secondary forging to a two-phase region of 50 ℃ above the A1 temperature line, and preserving heat for 15-30 minutes to obtain a uniform and fine ferrite and austenite two-phase structure;
step six, forging for three times: spray cooling the heated sample in the two-phase region to 250-300 deg.c below the A1 temperature line, and three times of forging with forging ratio of 20-30% and final forging temperature of 300 deg.c below the A1 temperature line;
step seven, forging four times: immediately reheating the sample after the three times of forging to 50-100 ℃ below the A1 temperature line, preserving heat for 10-20 minutes, and performing four times of forging after the temperature is uniform: the forging temperature range is 100-150 ℃ below the A1 temperature line, the forging ratio is 50-70%, the forging direction is perpendicular to the three-time forging direction, the final forging temperature is 300 ℃ below the A1 temperature line, and the water cooling to room temperature is carried out immediately after the forging is completed.
The temperature line A1 is approximately 620-670 ℃.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. and (3) optimizing alloy components: on the basis of the components of the conventional Ni-based ultralow-temperature steel, the proportion is adjusted, the components are optimized, and the grain refinement and dynamic recrystallization are promoted. By tightly controlling C: 0.065-0.1%, reducing ductile-brittle transition temperature and improving low-temperature toughness; adding Ni:6.5 to 10.5 percent, reducing the critical point of an A1 temperature line (which is eutectoid transformation temperature and varies along with alloy components, A1 temperature line is approximately equal to 620 to 670 ℃ as shown in figure 1) and A3 (which is an inter-transformation temperature line of ferrite and austenite and varies along with alloy components, wherein A3 approximately equal to 680 to 730 ℃ as shown in figure 1) of the alloy, refining ferrite phase in the alloy, promoting austenite reverse transformation and obviously reducing ductile-brittle transformation temperature; cr is added: 0.8 to 1.5 percent, improves the stability of austenite, reduces the Ms point of martensite, and is beneficial to dynamic recrystallization; mn is added: 1 to 1.5 percent, and the austenite region in the steel is enlarged, thereby improving the toughness; adding Si:0.3 to 05 percent, can refine grains in steel, avoid coarse grains and improve the low-temperature toughness of the steel; adding aluminum Al:0.3 to 05 percent, aluminum AlN can be formed with N, and the low-temperature toughness of the steel is improved by refining grains.
2. Forging and dynamic recrystallization: the two processes are combined to obtain fine and uniform equiaxed grains. The forging ratio must be greater than 50% to increase dynamic recrystallization to provide the driving force. The forging temperature is critical to be selected and should be 100-150 ℃ below the A1 temperature line and above the C curve nose tip temperature, thereby being beneficial to realizing dynamic recrystallization. Dynamic recrystallization is affected by phase change driving force, nucleation rate and diffusion speed, and has high temperature and high diffusion speed, but the phase change driving force and nucleation rate are low, so that the dynamic recrystallization is difficult to finish; conversely, too low a temperature and low diffusion rate are unfavorable for dynamic recrystallization.
3. Forging and solid phase transformation: applying an austenite plus forging process to densify and refine the parent phase austenite (fcc phase) grains, and then forming finer bcc phases (ferrite or martensite) from the refined parent phase through solid phase transformation, so that the grains can be significantly refined; and then repeatedly carrying out an austenite+forging+solid phase transformation process, wherein newly formed mother phase grains are finer, so that subsequent bcc phase grains are continuously refined, and finally fine and uniform equiaxed grains are obtained, and the ultra-refinement of the grains is realized. Wherein, in order to avoid coarse austenite of the parent phase, the austenitizing temperature and the heating time of multiple cycles should be reduced in sequence.
4. Fine grain strengthening: grain refinement can simultaneously improve the strength, plasticity and toughness of the metal material. The finer and uniform crystal grains are, the more crystal grains are in unit volume, the less impurities are on unit crystal boundaries, the less deformation is dispersed on a single crystal grain when the material is deformed, the uniform deformation is realized, the crack propagation can be effectively prevented, and the higher the strength, the better the toughness and the plasticity of the material are. The grain ultra-refinement can obviously improve the low-temperature toughness of the steel, and the grain boundary is increased by the grain ultra-refinement treatment, so that crack propagation can be effectively prevented, the ductile-brittle transition temperature is reduced, and the low-temperature toughness is obviously improved.

Comparative example 3:
an ultralow-temperature steel for hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment and a preparation process thereof adopt samples with the same components as those in the embodiment 1. The main steps are ultra-fine treatment process, but each forging process is cancelled. For mechanical property testing, "tempered" sample test results: measurement of Charpy impact absorption work A at low temperature of-196 DEG C k =146J; determination of tensile Strength R at room temperature m =753±15MPa, and the mechanical properties are remarkably reduced.
The invention utilizes the grain refinement principle and combines the processes of alloy component optimization, forging and dynamic recrystallization, forging and solid phase transformation, and the like to develop the ultralow-temperature steel for the hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment and the preparation process thereof, and the obtained beneficial effects are as follows:
(1) Microstructural grain ultra-refinement:
after the superfine treatment process, a tissue with martensite as a main component and retained austenite and ferrite as auxiliary components is obtained, and the grains are fine and uniform. The samples were subjected to EBSD observation, wherein the bcc structure grain orientation is as shown in FIG. 2, and the average bcc grain size is 0.3-0.8 μm.
After the sample is tempered at 350 ℃ for a short time and is corroded by a CuCl2 saturated picric acid solution, mother phase austenite grains are observed through SEM, and as shown in figure 3, the mother phase fcc austenite grains are refined to 5-8 mu m. From this, it is clear that after the grain refinement treatment, both the final bcc grains and the parent-phase fcc austenite grains are significantly refined, and the parent-phase fcc grains are the basis for further refinement of the subsequent grains.
(2) Improving low-temperature toughness and strength:
the ultra-low temperature steel grain ultra-refining treatment process for the hydrogen energy storage and transportation equipment developed by the invention is a pretreatment process, and mechanical property test and comparison are carried out after the subsequent conventional high-temperature tempering reaches a tempering state. Tempering at 580 deg.c for 2 hr, and measuring the mechanical performance. The low-temperature impact toughness of a sample in a tempering state is measured at the low temperature of minus 196 ℃, the highest Charpy impact absorption power can reach more than 200J, and the Charpy impact absorption power is improved by 45 percent compared with the traditional process; the tensile strength of the sample in the 'tempered state' measured at room temperature can reach more than 950MPa, and is improved by 30 percent compared with the traditional process.
