Description

    Technical field
  • The invention relates to an austenitic steel grade, extremely resistant especially to pitting and crevice corrosion, easily weldable and of high material strength. The invention concerns also the use of the steel for products on which are made exacting demands regarding general corrosion and especially pitting and crevice corrosion, weldability, and strength. The steel is developed specifically for and intended for use within the off-shore industry, e.g. in piping and tanks, and in other environments where the steel is exposed to sea water or to other chloride-containing liquids, such as in thermal power stations where sea water is used for cooling, in the bleacheries of the forest industry, in scrubbers etc. Another field of application is vessels and tubes and heat exchangers for nitric acid, especially those that are cooled by sea water.
  • Background art
  • Piping, heat exchangers, tanks and similar equipment and apparatus are mostly made of austenitic steel with 18-21 % Ni and over 6% Mo when there, is a demand for good weldability, mechanical strength, and very high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. The off-shore industry and other industries or plants where sea water is encountered are examples of areas where such demands are made. Other fields of application are within the chemical industry, especially in the chemical bleacheries of the forest industry. There are many corrosion resistant austenitic steel grades that meet very high demands in the respects mentioned, but nevertheless there is a demand for even better materials. At the same time it is desired to cut the cost of materials, for which the cost of such alloys as nickel and molybdenum are very important.
  • The alloying expenses may be reduced by the use of ferritic ELI-steels, which are also highly resistant to pitting and crevice corrosion in sea water and similar environments, provided they contain at least 25% Cr and at least 3.5% Mo. A serious limitation of these materials is that they are not manufactured in thicker dimensions than about 3 mm. If the material is made thicker it becomes brittle and unweldable.
  • Another practice in order to reduce costs is to replace nickel by manganese partly or wholly in austenitic stainless steel. There are reports that manganese may increase the contribution of chromium to resistance compared to steels with no manganese substitution. The known types of manganese substituted steels are considerably less corrosion resistant, however, than said austenitic and ferritic steel grades, and are no useful alternative to the latter in those environments where the present steel is intended to be used.
  • The following literature references are intended to illustrate the present state of the art. In the comparative investigations to be presented below reference will be made to data from these references.

    Disclosure of invention
  • A primary object of the invention is to provide a steel grade which has the required combination of properties for use in welded constructions in highly corrosive environments, in spite of having a lower, rather than higher, content of expensive alloy metals than comparative conventional austenitic steels. Specifically, an object is to provide a steel with extremely high resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion. A preferred object is to provide a steel of high resistance in other environments also, such as in HN03. Typical fields of application are as indicated in the preamble.
  • A further object of the invention is to provide a steel which is easy to weld with a low energy input without any considerable loss of its corrosion resisting properties in the weld or in the heat-affected zone.
  • A preferred object is also to provide a steel with a greater mechanical strength than conventional austenitic molybdenum alloyed steels.
  • These and other objects may be attained by making a steel grade of the following chemical composition in percentages by weight:
    Figure imgb0001
  • Optionally Co up to 0.5 and/or Cu up to 3.0 the balance iron and unavoidable impurities.
  • It is desirable to keep the carbon content as low as possible. Normally, the carbon content is therefore maximally 0.02%, preferably maximally 0.015%. The roles of manganese and nitrogen in the steel are complex. The manganese partly functions as an austenitizing agent, partly aids in dissolving nitrogen in the steel. Certain indications suggest that the manganese in this alloy directly influences the corrosion properties favourably. The nitrogen works as an austenitizing agent and adds to the corrosion resistance as well. In order to create a completely austenitic structure, a required amount of nickel is added in addition to manganese and nitrogen. A synergistic effect of molybdenum and nitrogen as regards resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion is also attained with the steel according to the invention. In other words, the nitrogen strengthens the favourable effect of the molybdenum. Chromium is a fundamental element for resistance to general corrosion and also enhances the resistance to other types of corrosion.
  • A preferred characteristic of the steel is that its so called PRE value (=%Cr+3.3x%Mo+16x%N) is at least 41, preferably from 41-45.
  • It is suitable to include in the steel 14-17 Ni, 9-11 Mn, 18-23 Cr, 4-8 Mo, 0.38-0.48 N and a maximum of 0.015C.
  • A preferred characteristic of the steel according to the invention is that the chromium equivalent (according to Shaeffler) is at least 24, and the nickel equivalent is at least 25, the ratio of the chromium equivalent to the nickel equivalent being no more than 0.9, preferably no more than 0.8.
  • It is also important that the steel is non-stabilized, which means that it does not contain any significant, intentional additions of niobium, tantalum, titanium or zirconium. The total amount of these elements must not exceed 0.1%. Higher amounts would have a too detrimental effect upon the corrosion resistance, because these elements readily combine not only with carbon but also with nitrogen present in the steel to form nitrides, such that the effective nitrogen content would be reduced.
  • A preferred composition of the steel according to the invention is the following:
    Figure imgb0002
    optionally Co up to 0.5 and/or Cu up to 3.0 the balance iron and unavoidable impurities.
  • The total amount of Nb+Ta+Ti+Zr shall not exceed 0.1 %. More preferably the carbon content is 0.015% at the maximum.
  • As mentioned, copper may be included up to no more than 3%. The possible effects of including copper in the steel according to the invention has not been subject to investigation, however. It is conceivable that it may improve corrosion resistance in strong acids. According to the preferred embodiment, the copper content should be limited to a max. of 0.5%.
  • Copper at concentrations less than 0.5% may be found in secondary metal or traces of process metallurgy additions. Among the former type of elements may be mentioned cobalt. This is an expensive element. Wilful additions of this element should therefore be avoided. Cobalt also has the drawback of becoming radioactive when subjected to radiation, which makes cobalt alloyed material impermissible for such parts of nuclear power stations as are exposed to radiation. The cobalt content therefore should be restricted to a max. of 0.5%. Among traces of elements added for process metallurgy reasons may be mentioned aluminium and calcium. Niobium, vanadium and titanium should not be present at levels exceeding those of impurities.
  • Further characteristics and advantages of the steel according to the invention will appear from the following account of experiments and investigations carried out.
  • Description of experiments and investigations carried out
  • The composition of each steel sample made and investigated is presented in Table 1, group 1. Steels Nos. 1-15 were manufactured as melts with a weight of 2 kg. Of these, those with a totally austenitic structure (after rolling and solution heating) were subjected to further investigations, especially regarding their corrosion properties. In order to evaluate the initial investigations, a melt of 50 kg was then manufactured, steel No. 16. Groups 2 and 3 of Table 1 present data for commercially available steels tested, as well as figures from the literature concerning other steels, see the reference list on pp. 2-3.
  • The B charges (steels Nos. 1-15) were forged to 30 mm square section and rolled to strips of 3 mm thickness and then solution heated (1100°C/1 h/H20). No notable problems of poor hot state ductility were encountered.
    Figure imgb0003
    Figure imgb0004
    Figure imgb0005
  • Since the purpose of the invention is to develop a manganese substituted steel, structural studies were carried out only on the steels Nos. 1-6. These studies revealed that only steels Nos. 3 and 6 were completely austenitic. Steels Nos. 1, 4 and 5 contained a-phase, while steel No. 2 contained 5-ferrite. Fully austenitic steels 3 and 6 were tested in a first run for local corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. Table 2 show strength data for the two steels 3 and 6 tested and for a number of grades of nitrogen alloyed steel commercially available and/or reported in the literature.
    Figure imgb0006
  • To start with, the results of comparative studies of corrosion resistance of steels Nos. 3 and 6 and of commercial steels 17-23 will be presented below.
    Figure imgb0007
  • Crevice corrosion Crevice corrosion potential, Esp
  • Steel grade No. 6 immediately proved to be highly superior to most stainless steels ever tested by the applicant. While the best result of the reference materials was an Esp of +105 mV, steel No. 6 had not been attacked at Esp=+785 mV. At that level, the test had to be discontinued, because the clamps holding the specimens were severely corroded (they were made of steel grade NU SS 904L). This means that the steel grade tested can be considered fully resistant to sea water at room temperature.
  • Steel No. 3 were not nearly as resistant as steel No. 6 and ended up somewhat below the result of steel No. 20, in spite of having equal content of chromium and nickel and a molybdenum content only 1.5 and a nitrogen content only 0.21% lower than that of steel No. 6.
  • Critical crevice corrosion temperature, CCT
  • At the comparative CCT test in FeCl3, steel No. 6 was attacked only when the temperature reached 45°C. Next to the best value, 40°C, was reached by steel No. 22, the rest of the CCT values being below room temperature, possibly with exclusion of steel No. 21, which was resistant up to 30°C.
  • Critical pitting temperature, CPT
  • This test was also carried out in FeC13. Table 3 indicates that steel No. 22 had the highest CPT value, 75°C, followed by experimental steel No. 6, 65°C. In comparison with the resistance to crevice corrosion, experimental steel No. 6 is less resistant to pitting. This may be a result of the number of inclusions in small laboratory charges, which is greater than that of material made at production conditions. The slag situation may be more significant to pitting than to crevice corrosion.
  • Corrosion in a synthetic scrubber solution
  • Only steels Nos. 6 and 22 were unattacked at 50°C.
    Figure imgb0008
  • In order to evaluate further the corrosion properties of the steel according to the invention a laboratory charge of 50 kg, sample No. 16, was produced, of the same nominal composition as steel No. 6. This material also was forgable and rollable without problems and was similarly highly corrosion resistant. The results of a field trial, laboratory corrosion tests, and a first test for weldability will be reported below.
  • The field trial was carried out in the chlorodioxide stage of a paper mill bleachery. The samples, which were small pieces of steel plate, were placed standing up in one corner of the inlet box of the filter. Half of the plates were partially immersed in the pulp suspension, the upper half being in the gas phase. The environment in these filters is so corrosive that there has not been satisfactory solution to the materials problem up to now. Earlier exposures have shown that only titanium resists attack. Some typical environment parameters are the following:
    • Redox potential 650 mV/SCE
    • Amount of active chlorine in filtrate 7 mg/I
    • pH 3.8
    • Chloride 220 mg/I
    • Temperature 73°C
  • The samples were of the steel grade No. 16 according to the invention and the comparison materials 24 and 25. All samples had been ground and pickled in 10% HN03+1% HF, 10 min at 60°C, prior to exposure.
  • The results are presented in Table 4.
  • Steel No. 16 had the lowest weight loss in g/M2 and the lowest pit depth while steel No. 25 had the highest weight loss and greatest pit depth. The exposure confirmed the laboratory data presented above on the 2 kg samples of steel No. 6.
  • The corrosion test carried out in the laboratory of the corrosion properties of steel No. 16 are summarized in Table 5. The steel was MIG welded with an electrode of the type Avesta P12. Especially noteworthy is that there were no corrosion attacks, neither in the weld nor in the heat affected zone. There were no problems associated with the welding itself. The steel could be welded with a very low heat input, 0.235 kJ/mm. The weld was of a high quality smooth, without spatter or pores.
    Figure imgb0009
  • In order to evaluate also the features of the steel of invention produced on the commercial scale basis, there was produced a five tons heat, steel No. 35, table 1, group 1. Three ingots were casted. The ingots were forged and hot rolled to plates with 5 and 12 mm thicknesses without problem. The surfaces after rolling were in good condition. Trials made showed that after hot or cold rolling, the steel could be heat treated by heating to 1100°C, followed by quenching in water so as to obtain a pure recrystallized austenitic structure without precipitates and with the desired corrosion properties. The heat treated 5 mm-plate also was cold rolled to 3 mm and 1 mm thicknesses without problem.
  • The quench annealed hot rolled plate showed the following mechanical properties:
    Figure imgb0010
  • As far as corrosion testing was concerned, specimens from both 5 and 12 mm plates were tested in various environments. Generally speaking, the results were consistent with those made on laboratory melts and reported above.
