Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. The specific conditions are not noted in the examples and are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. The reagents or apparatus used were conventional products commercially available without the manufacturer's attention.
The features and capabilities of the present invention are described in further detail below in connection with the examples.
In a first aspect, the invention provides a rare earth high-strength steel, comprising the following elements in percentage by weight: c: 0.06-0.15%, mn:1.45 to 1.6 percent, S is less than or equal to 0.015 percent, P is less than or equal to 0.022 percent, si:0.1 to 0.2 percent, cr:0.22 to 0.32 percent of Ti: 0.010-0.018%, nb:0.026 to 0.03 percent, B:0.003 to 0.004 percent, als: 0.010-0.030 percent of rare earth: 0.0042-0.0060%, mo less than or equal to 0.010%, ni less than or equal to 0.020%, as less than or equal to 0.014%, sn less than or equal to 0.0050%, cu less than or equal to 0.05%, V less than or equal to 0.004%, ca less than or equal to 0.0005%, and the balance Fe and unavoidable impurities.
By controlling the alloy composition of the high-strength steel, moderate carbon and manganese contents and low P, S content are adopted, cr, nb and Ti metals are added for composite alloying, and the functions of rare earth solid solution strengthening, fine grain strengthening, inclusion denaturation and the like are matched, so that the toughness of the steel is reasonably matched. In addition, in order to obtain higher strength and reduce the production cost of the steel grade, the steel grade adopts a component design with high B content, so that the addition amount of Mn, nb and Ti elements can be reduced, and the steel grade still has good strengthening effect, and further reduces the alloy cost.
The main elements have the following functions:
carbon: the carbon content is controlled between 0.06% and 0.15%, the carbon content in the steel is increased, the strength and the hardness are increased, but the plasticity, the impact toughness and the welding performance are reduced, and the strength is obtained by adopting the moderate carbon content, and meanwhile, the steel has good toughness and welding performance.
Silicon: the silicon content is controlled between 0.1% and 0.2%, which can strengthen ferrite, improve the strength and hardness of steel, reduce the critical cooling speed of steel, improve the hardenability of steel, and improve the hot cracking tendency when the silicon content is less than or equal to 0.40%, and the welding performance of steel is deteriorated when the silicon content is too high.
Manganese: the manganese content is controlled between 1.45 percent and 1.6 percent, and the manganese content with high proper amount can obtain higher strength, hardness and wear resistance, reduce the critical cooling speed of steel, improve the hardenability of steel, improve the hot processing performance of steel, reduce the size of precipitated carbide and promote the precipitation strengthening effect. However, the manganese content is too high, so that the welding performance is reduced, the corrosion resistance of the steel is weakened, the tempering brittleness phenomenon is obvious, and the growth of crystal grains is promoted, so that the inventor controls the manganese content within the range, and meanwhile, refined crystal grain elements such as niobium, titanium, aluminum and the like are added, so that the structure of the steel is effectively controlled.
Chromium: the chromium content is controlled between 0.22 percent and 0.32 percent, has great strengthening effect on low alloy steel, can improve the strength, the hardness and the wear resistance, reduce the critical cooling speed of the steel and improve the hardenability of the steel; too high a chromium content increases the brittle transition temperature of the steel and increases the temper embrittlement of the steel.
Niobium: the manganese content is controlled between 0.026% and 0.03%, niobium, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen have extremely strong binding force and form corresponding stable compounds with the niobium, so that the steel has the functions of refining grains and strengthening precipitation, reduces the overheat sensitivity and tempering brittleness of the steel, is beneficial to improving the low-temperature impact toughness, can improve the recrystallization temperature, can further refine the grains through controlled rolling and cooling, improves the toughness reduction caused by precipitation strengthening and improves the welding performance, and thereby the steel plate has the comprehensive performance of high strength and high toughness.
Titanium: the titanium content is controlled between 0.01% and 0.018%, titanium is a low-cost alloying element, the titanium can compact the internal structure of steel, refine grains, and can generate strong precipitation strengthening effect by separating titanium carbide particles out of ferrite after interphase or phase transformation, thereby greatly improving strength, effectively reducing ageing sensitivity and cold brittleness and improving welding performance.
The alloy elements such as niobium and titanium are beneficial to improving the solid solution quantity of the rare earth elements in steel, the solid solution rare earth is easy to gather at the grain boundary, the recrystallization process can be obviously delayed, the recrystallized grains can be refined, meanwhile, the rare earth can effectively increase the dissolution of the alloy elements such as niobium and titanium in steel, and the alloy precipitation phase dispersion precipitation of the niobium and titanium can be promoted by controlling cooling, so that the strengthening effect of the alloy elements is improved.
Boron: boron is easy to adsorb on austenite grain boundaries and gather at the grain boundaries, so that the transformation from austenite to ferrite can be effectively delayed, the solubility of alloy elements is improved, the aging effect is delayed, and the rolling can be further strengthened due to the aging effect; the segregation of boron in the grain boundary can reduce the diffusion coefficient of alloy elements such as niobium, titanium and the like in the grain boundary, increase the acting force of the niobium, the titanium and the like on the grain boundary, reduce the migration speed of the interface and the recrystallization driving force, refine grains and improve the strength.
Aluminum: the aluminum content should be controlled between 0.010% and 0.030%, proper amount of aluminum is added into the steel, so that grains can be refined, impact toughness is improved, the aluminum also has oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance, and the hot workability, welding performance and cutting workability of the steel are adversely affected by the excessive content.
Rare earth: the rare earth content should be controlled between 0.0042% and 0.0060%, the rare earth element and oxygen and sulfur are easy to generate oxide, sulfide, sulfur oxide and the like with high melting point and small plasticity at high temperature, and the proper amount of rare earth is added to fully exert the functions of rare earth desulfurization and deoxidation and inclusion denaturation, refine the crystal grain of steel, improve the cast structure, improve the normal and low temperature toughness and fracture property of steel, reduce the hot brittleness of steel and improve the hot workability and welding property.
The rare earth can purify molten steel, so that carbides such as niobium, titanium and the like are refined and separated out and dispersed, the strengthening effect of alloy elements is fully exerted, meanwhile, the deterioration effect of the rare earth on inclusions can be effectively reduced, and the plasticity and toughness are further improved. Rare earth dissolved in the steel is enriched in the grain boundary, so that segregation of impurity elements in the grain boundary is reduced, the grain boundary can be reinforced, the harm of segregation elements such as phosphorus, sulfur and the like is effectively improved, and the structure and performance of the steel are further improved.
In an alternative embodiment, the rare earth includes La and/or Ce.
Preferably, the addition amount of La is 30 to 40% and the addition amount of Ce is 60 to 70%. More preferably, the addition amount of La is 35% and the addition amount of Ce is 65%.

By controlling the content ratio of the elements in the above range, the solid solution temperature of titanium is lower, tiny and stable TiN is easy to form, austenite grains can be effectively prevented from growing, grains and structures can be refined, surplus titanium can inhibit the recrystallization process in the form of solid solution titanium or TiC, the functions of precipitation and precipitation strengthening are achieved, a proper amount of titanium can also promote the formation of niobium carbide, the niobium carbide is pinned to a grain boundary during rolling to prevent the growth of grains, the pinning of dislocation and the migration of subgrain boundary are prevented in the recrystallization process, the recrystallization time is greatly prolonged, recrystallization nucleation is effectively inhibited, more niobium in a solid solution state can be obtained, and the precipitation of solid solution niobium can further produce strengthening effect; chromium has great strengthening effect on microalloy steel, can reduce the critical cooling speed of the steel, expand the cooling speed range, refine the structure, improve the hardenability of the steel, and lead the steel to have better comprehensive mechanical properties after quenching and tempering.
In an alternative embodiment, the carbon equivalent Ceq is less than or equal to 0.45% and Pcm is less than or equal to 0.25%. The formula for calculating the carbon equivalent Ceq is as follows: ceq=c+mn/6+ (cr+v+mo)/5+ (cu+ni)/15. The calculation formula of Pcm is as follows: pcm=c+si/30+mn/20+cu/20+ni/60+cr/20+mo/15+v/10+5b. Controlling the carbon equivalent within the above range can avoid adversely affecting the toughness and welding performance of the steel.
