Background technology
In recent years, along with expanding economy and growth in the living standard, stainless steel is used widely, wherein, austenitic stainless steel is because of having excellent solidity to corrosion, processibility, and is used in household implements (for example kitchen tools, sanitary bath equipment) and various hardware or the like aspect more widely.
Must add a large amount of nickel (Ni) in order in austenitic stainless steel, to obtain stable austenite, and owing to the content of nickel on the earth is abundant, demand to this element but increases day by day simultaneously, therefore cause the cost value of nickel to raise successively, and then cause nickeliferous stainless price volalility very big, and when price is lasting high, obviously austenitic stainless steel is the advantage of therefore forfeiture and the competition of other metals, therefore, the stainless steel of exploitation low nickel content becomes one of emphasis of industry research and development competition in the hope of obtaining the relative cost advantage.Simultaneously, in recent years, because Economic development, growth in the living standard, the demand of making clean demanding equipment (for example food machine, kitchen cabinet, medical machine etc.) when using with the stainless steel that possesses germ resistance to a certain degree (for example argentiferous or contain the stainless steel of separating out copper-rich phase) also day by day increases.
And recently, have the exploitation of the austenitic stainless steel of antibacterial effect, all be with general 304 be stainless steel as mother metal, focus on the exploitation of germ resistance again.For instance, it is the austenitic stainless steel of 8.3 weight % that No. 459057 patent application of TaiWan, China discloses nickel content, and adding " silver " makes it have antibacterial effect.No. 383340 patent application of TaiWan, China then discloses nickel content between 7-10 weight %, and adding " copper " makes it have the stainless steel of antibacterial effect.
As everyone knows, silver is a kind of precious metal, and adding silver makes stainless steel have the obvious meeting of germ resistance so cause cost significantly to improve, so be mostly at present to make stainless steel have the main flow that germ resistance is researchdevelopment with interpolation copper.But, up to now, though the existing many producers of the stainless exploitation of low nickel content drop into research, not with austenitic stainless steel with low content of nickel with germ resistance as research object.
When desiring to make austenitic stainless steel to have antibiotic effect by adding copper, must between 700 ℃~950 ℃, implement timeliness thermal treatment, copper-rich phase is wherein separated out, just can have antibacterial effect, but this moment again must controlled temperature can not be too high, in order to avoid copper solid solution and not separating out.But thus, will pass through the sensitizing temperature district (480 ℃~800 ℃) of austenitic stainless steel inevitably, thereby can't take into account the requirement of " solidity to corrosion " and " germ resistance ".
Therefore how to avoid sensitizing temperature, to keep under the corrosion proof prerequisite of austenitic stainless steel, develop with the austenitic stainless steel of " low nickel content " and " antibiotic effect ", make its have price competitiveness simultaneously, promote easier, and meet the advantage of current health care environmental sanitation demand, be the target that industry constantly makes great efforts to study improvement.
Embodiment
The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with subordinate list and embodiment:
For making stainless steel have the antimicrobial effect, generally be to reach this purpose, and silver does not meet economic benefit because material cost is come highly far beyond copper, so comparatively common and meet cost benefit to add copper by adding silver or copper.
And nickel, though be the important stable element of austenite phase in the stainless steel, and can increase the ability of anti-reductinic acid and promote cold-working.Because nickel is precious metal, price volalility is big again, if can reduce consumption and can meet the market competition demand but as mentioned above.
Therefore, the present invention relates to a kind of low-nickel austenitic stainless steel that has solidity to corrosion and germ resistance concurrently, it promptly is design by manufacture method and alloying constituent, on the basis of low nickel, cooperate the interpolation of copper, develop the stainless steel that to take into account solidity to corrosion and germ resistance, to save cost that adds nickel and the demand that meets existing market.Thus, the low-nickel austenitic stainless steel that has solidity to corrosion and germ resistance concurrently of the present invention comprises: the carbon of weight percent between 0.03 to 0.12, the silicon of weight percent between 0.2 to 1.0, the manganese of weight percent between 7.5 to 10.5, the chromium of weight percent between 14.0 to 16.0, the nickel of weight percent between 1.0 to 5.0, the nitrogen of weight percent between 0.04 to 0.25, the copper of weight percent between 2.0 to 5.0, multiple in steelmaking process the inevitable iron of trace element and surplus, and the weight percent of sulphur needs less than 0.01 in the various trace elements, and the weight percent of phosphorus need be controlled at less than 0.06.In addition, after the hot rolling of steel embryo, to final finished, implement the timeliness thermal treatment once between 850 ℃ to 950 ℃, carry out at least,, thereby reach the antimicrobial effect so that copper-rich phase wherein separates out.
Carbon is the strong stability element of austenite phase, but simultaneously its weight percent Tai Gaoyi reduces the solidity to corrosion of steel, and easily brings out martensitic phase and cause aging crack, so the present invention is controlled at the addition of carbon between 0.03 weight % and the 0.12 weight %.Simultaneously, in stainless steel refining process, must carry out deoxidation as reductor with silicon, therefore must contain a certain amount of silicon, but silicon itself is again the stable element of ferritic phase and be unfavorable for austenite phase stable of stainless steel, so the present invention is controlled at the silicone content ratio between 0.2 weight % and the 1.0 weight %.
Manganese is the stable element of austenite phase, replaces nickel at this interpolation per-cent with 7.5 weight % to 10.5 weight %, to reach the purpose that reduces cost.
Mainly acting as of chromium is against corrosion, but it is again the stable element of ferritic phase simultaneously, and in order to take into account the stable and raw materials cost of austenite phase, so the adding proportion of chromium is between 14 weight % and 16 weight %.
As previously mentioned, nickel is the mutually important stable element of austenite, and can increase the ability of anti-reductinic acid and promote cold-working, yet in order to reduce cost, the present invention is prerequisite with the low nickel content, and therefore the addition with nickel is limited between 1.0 weight % to the 5.0 weight %.
Higher the stable of austenite phase that more be beneficial to of nitrogen content, can replace the interpolation of part of nickel by this, but has the effect of reinforcement during because of interpolation nitrogen, so it is lower better to add weight percent in can obtaining the prerequisite scope of austenitic iron, so the present invention is limited in its addition between 0.04 weight % to the 0.25 weight %.
No matter owing to add copper or silver-colored in the steel extremely greater than after the predetermined proportion, all has the antimicrobial effect, but because the cost of silver is high than copper, therefore the present invention selects copper, consider that simultaneously adding too much copper can cause the hot workability variation, therefore add the copper of 2.0 weight % to 5.0 weight %, to reach the ideal antibiotic effect and to take into account hot workability.
And the phosphorus in the various trace elements, sulphur etc. are harmful element, and proportion is lower certainly better, so limit its weight percent respectively less than 0.06,0.01.
By above stated specification as can be known, the present invention mainly is on the basis of low nickel, by interpolation copper and various alloying constituent, and cooperates with suitable aging temp, thereby makes prepared stainless steel with solidity to corrosion and germ resistance.Though aging temp of the present invention is controlled between 850 ℃ to 950 ℃, do not have overlapping with the scope of interval 480 ℃ to 800 ℃ of stainless steel " sensitizing temperature ", the generation of sensitization phenomenon would not be arranged in theory, but the present invention still detects earlier corrosion proof " sensitization experiment ", verifies the solidity to corrosion of the present invention under general environment in advance.
Consult table 1, employed test piece when carrying out corrosion proof sensitization experiment and follow-up antibacterial experiment, be after each alloy iron raw material that contains the different-alloy composition as shown in table 1 is melt into ingot bar, the material of the thick 32mm of the wide 294mm of cut growth 295mm, through the process furnace heating, come out of the stove after 1 hour at constant temperature between 1050~1200 ℃, through 7 times repeat to roll and prolong that to form final thickness be the steel band of 3mm, finishing temperature is between 800 ℃~820 ℃, and air cooling is to room temperature, this test piece is handled through annealing and pickling, formed the hot rolling test piece.Again the hot rolling test piece is cold-rolled to the steel band that thickness is 1mm, handle through annealing and pickling again, the cold rolling test piece of follow-up aging heat treatment is proceeded in formation, whether sensitization (sensitization) phenomenon takes place so that observe metallographic, promptly understand whether produce intergranular corrosion (intergranularcorrosion), and then draw the solidity to corrosion of each the cold rolling test piece that contains the different-alloy composition.
