Definitions
- the invention relates to a heat-resistant, creep-resistant austenitic nickel-chromium steel alloy, as used in the petrochemical industry.
- Such alloys require high strength, in particular creep rupture strength and sufficient toughness at the usual operating temperatures, as well as adequate corrosion resistance.
- From US Pat. No. 4,077,801 is a molybdenum and cobalt-free austenitic nickel-chromium cast steel alloy with 0.25 to 0.8% carbon, up to 3.5% silicon, up to 3.0% manganese, 8 to 62% nickel , 12 to 32% chromium, up to 2% niobium, 0.05 to under 1.0% titanium, 0.05 to 2% tungsten and up to 0.3% nitrogen, the rest iron with a high creep rupture strength and ductility at high temperatures .
- This cast alloy has good weldability and is suitable as a material for devices for hydrogen reforming.
- the invention is therefore based on the problem of proposing a nickel-chromium steel alloy which can also withstand higher operating temperatures and at the same time has sufficient creep resistance and resistance to carburization and oxidation.
- the solution to this problem is based on the idea of significantly improving the heat resistance of an austenitic nickel-chromium steel alloy with the aid of cobalt and molybdenum as well as certain intermetallic compounds.
- Cobalt improves the stability of the austenitic iron-nickel-chromium structure. This applies in particular if the alloy for solid solution strengthening contains ferrite-stabilizing elements such as molybdenum.
- the invention consists of an austenitic steel alloy with 0.3 to 1.0% carbon, 0.2 to 2.5% silicon, up to 0.8% manganese, 30.0 to 48.0% nickel, 16.0 up to 22.0% chromium, 0.5 to 18.0% cobalt, 1.5 to 4% molybdenum, 0.2 to 0.6% niobium, 0.1 to 0.5% titanium, 0.1 to 0 , 6% zirconium, 0.1 to 1.5% tantalum and 0.1 to 1.5% hafnium, with a ratio of the tantalum and hafnium content to the zirconium content of over 2.4%, their total tantalum, hafnium and Zirconium is 1.2 to 3%.
- the steel alloy contains with cobalt contents of at least 10% over 20% iron and with cobalt contents under 10% over 30% iron.
- the alloy has an austenitic iron-nickel-chromium or an austenitic iron-nickel-chromium-cobalt basic structure as well as a high creep resistance and creep resistance and is resistant to carburization and oxidation. Nevertheless, a further improvement in the fatigue strength at high temperatures is possible if the alloy contains 1.5 to 2.5% aluminum at the expense of its mandatory components and / or the tantalum, hafnium and zirconium contents satisfy the following condition:
- An alloy with 0.42% carbon, 1.3% silicon, 0.40% manganese, 34.0% nickel, 19.0% chromium, 3.5% molybdenum, 0.40% niobium, 0 has proven particularly useful , 25% titanium, 0.30% zirconium, 0.15% tantalum and 0.80% hafnium, rest iron or also with 0.44% carbon, 1.2% silicon, 0.40% manganese, 33.0% Nickel, 19.0% chromium, 3.0% molybdenum, 0.40% niobium, 0.20% titanium, 0.15% zirconium, 1.0% tantalum and 0.10% hafnium, the rest iron.
- Molybdenum improves the creep rupture strength at medium temperatures, while intermetallic carbide phases give the weak iron-nickel-chromium structure a high strength at temperatures above 0.9 of its absolute melting point.
- Hafnium, zirconium, titanium, tantalum and niobium form primary carbides of the MC type, while chromium forms below Inclusion of molybdenum in the intra- and interdentritic areas forms carbides of the type M7C3 and M 23 6.
- Fig. 2 a graphical representation of the influence of the total tantalum and hafnium content in relation to the zirconium content on the service life at a temperature of 1100 ° C. and an initial load of 9.4 MPA,
- Fig. 3 the temporal weight gain in a hydrogen / propylene atmosphere at 1000 ° C and
- compositions of the test alloys are shown in Table I below, which shows three conventional alloys 1, 2 and 3, comparative alloys 4 and 6 to 12 and alloys 5 and 13 to 17 according to the invention.
- the rest of the alloy consisted of all Iron cases.
- the alloys were melted in the medium frequency furnace and cast in investment casting molds or by centrifugal casting.
- the samples for the creep rupture test were either produced from the near-final investment casting samples or by processing from the centrifugal cast pipes. Using these samples, the creep rupture behavior was determined according to ASTM E 139 in the as-cast state; the results of tests at 1100 ° C and two different loads are summarized in Table II below.
- the diagram of FIG. 3 shows the measurement results and shows a parabolic reaction kinetics with the diffusion of carbon as the rate-determining step and a relatively narrow range of weight gain with the exception of alloy 17 with a weight gain that is almost a factor of 4 less than that conventional alloy 2 and the comparative alloy 7.
- the results of the tests with alloys 4 and 6-12 demonstrate the ineffectiveness of adding primary carbide-forming elements on the creep behavior.
