Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for producing hot strip or heavy plate from a denitrified steel.
  • the invention further relates to hot strip or heavy plate made from denitrated steel.
  • thermo-mechanical treatment of steels means a controlled reshaping of the steel in a temperature range around the transformation point Ar 3 with a controlled precipitation and / or transformation of the structure at the same time.
  • thermo-mechanically treated steels When mechanically and technologically testing these steels, especially in the presence of notches in a wide temperature range above the complete brittle fracture (Charpy impact test), tears are often observed perpendicular to the fracture surface (referred to as »separation «, »splitting « or »splitting «).
  • »separation«, »splitting « or »splitting « This tendency to split the fracture surfaces of thermo-mechanically treated steels is important, for example, for the operation of long-distance pipelines because it reduces the ability of these steels to stop the propagation of tough fractures.
  • Proposals have already been made for the production of high-strength steels for long-distance pipelines, in which fracture splitting no longer occurs in the impact strength test, but all of which are associated with high alloy costs and high production costs.
  • the invention has for its object to achieve an increased impact strength, even at low temperatures (ie CVN transition temperature TÜ5 0 of at least -30 ° C) by controlling the occurrence of the separations in a hot-rolled hot strip or heavy plate.
  • the hot strip or sheet made of denitrified steel consisting of carbon 0.04 to 0.16%, manganese 1.25 to 1.90%, silicon 0.02 to 0 , 55%, phosphorus 0.004 to 0.020%, sulfur 0.002 to 0.015%, aluminum 0.02 to 0.08%, niobium 0.02 to 0.08%, balance iron and any impurities during hot rolling the last finishing stand with a temperature of Leaves 750 ° C to 820 ° C and is cooled to an intermediate temperature at a cooling rate of 2 to 10 ° C / s if the intermediate temperature is between 450 ° C and 570 ° C and then the hot strip or sheet in the reel or in the stack Air slowly cools to room temperature, creating a ferritic-pearlitic structure.
  • the method according to the invention can therefore significantly improve the usability of the steel, for example for large pipe fem lines, without the need for excessive alloy additives.
  • vanadium 0.02 to 0.10% has a particularly favorable effect on the increase in the strength properties of a steel according to the invention, since the vanadium precipitation takes place mainly in the ferrite grain and not at grain boundaries.
  • the steel has a ferritic-pearlitic structure and the ratio of C v max to C V 100 is between 1.0 and 1.3.
  • C v 100 denotes the high notch impact value (highest values) at which the samples are just showing a 100% deformation fracture.
  • C v max is the temperature-dependent value that has the highest impact value of the entire test.
  • the steel produced according to the invention has a complete absence of fracture splits in the CVN impact test (CVN-Charpy-V-Notch) while at the same time ensuring CVN transition temperatures of at least -30 ° C.
  • the steel of the composition mentioned has a reduced number of separations. Nevertheless, it still has a significantly higher notched impact strength.
  • the notched impact strength in J / cm 2 decreases with increasing number of "separations" in the fracture surfaces of the CVN samples.
  • the reason for this decrease in impact strength lies in the fact that the separations that run perpendicular to the main fracture surface and parallel to the sample surface mainly occur before they pass through the main crack, as can be seen in Figure 1, so that when the samples are bent during the Notch impact test requires less energy to initiate the necking start.
  • Such a material is obtained by maintaining an intermediate temperature of 500 to 570 ° C.
  • the intermediate temperature is 550 ° to 620 ° C
  • the temperature on the last finishing stand from 750 ° C to 850 ° C can be.
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 clearly show the advantages of reducing the number of "separations" in the impact test.
  • the notched impact strength increases on average from 150 J / cm 2 to 230 J / cm 2 for those with molybdenum, chromium or nickel alloys alloyed steels of grade X 70 (Fig. 3) and from 160 J / cm 2 to 280 J / cm 2 for niobvanadin-containing steels of grade X 70 (Fig. 2), which increases the impact strength by 53 or 75%. corresponds.
  • the temperature at which the hot strip or sheet leaves the last finishing stand during hot rolling need not be quite as narrow for a low-separation steel according to the invention as for the production of a separation-free steel.
  • a temperature range of 7 50 ° to 850 ° C is possible.
  • additions of 0.002 to 0.08 zirconium and / or 0.004 to 0.051 cerium can also be used when carrying out the new process with an intermediate temperature of 550 ° to 620 ° C.
  • composition of the steels is shown in Table 6, in which the proportions of the constituents contained in the steel are given in percent. The numbers of the melts are only used to identify the steel.
  • the steels were manufactured according to the parameters given in Table 7. In it are the initial thickness, the thickness of the rolled steel sheet, the blast furnace temperature, the final roll temperature and the temperature after cooling (reel temperature). In all cases with the exception of sheet A, the steel was wound up. The last column shows the cooling rate from the final roll temperature to the reel temperature in ° C / s. The steel then slowly cools down in the reel.
  • the mechanical-technological properties of the investigated and inventive steels are summarized in Table 8.
  • the letters “L” and “Q” characterize the position of the specimen in relation to the rolling direction, namely "L” a longitudinal specimen and “Q” a cross specimen on which the impact test was carried out.
  • the other three columns contain the usual information about the yield strength and tensile strength.
  • the ak value indicates the energy consumption of the steel at various points on the a k curve depending on the temperature.
  • C v 100 characterizes the lowest temperature at which there is still a complete deformation fracture.
  • C v max characterizes the area of maximum energy absorption, while TÜ 50 specifies the temperature at which the Charpy V impact test specimens according to DIN 50115 show 50% deformation fracture in the fracture surfaces in the transition area between brittle fracture and deformation fracture.
  • the next two columns indicate the transition temperature for the points C v 100 and TÜ 50 . It turns out that the TÜ 50 is always considerably below -30 ° C, so that high toughness is guaranteed even at low temperatures.
  • the steels are characterized by a high energy consumption.
  • the quotient C v max to C v l 00 is close to 1, namely between 1 and 1.3. All of these steels are free of tears perpendicular to the fracture surface (separations).
  • Tables 1 to 5 relate to low-separation steels according to the invention with a higher notched impact strength
  • Tables 6 to 8 characterize separation-free steels which naturally have a very high notched impact strength.
