Definitions

  • This invention relates to a manufacturing process of a stainless steel product by nitrogen absorption treatment and to a stainless steel product thereby obtained. More particularly, this invention relates to a manufacturing process of a stainless steel product by nitrogen absorption treatment, which can decrease production cost of austenitic stainless steel which is considered to be difficult to process, and can manufacture a stainless steel product having fully satisfactory properties in both strength and corrosion resistance, and to a stainless steel product thereby obtained.
  • Austenitic stainless steel is a material which is difficult to process and its difficulty to work into a desired shape raises its production cost. As austenitic stainless steel is outstanding in both corrosion resistance and strength, it is desired that its products having desired shapes, including even complicated ones, be supplied at a low cost.
  • This invention has been made under such circumstances and has as an object to provide a method of manufacturing a stainless steel product by nitrogen absorption treatment, which can decrease production cost of austenitic stainless steel which is considered to be difficult to process, and can manufacture a stainless steel product having fully satisfactory properties regarding both strength and corrosion resistance, and to provide a stainless steel product thereby obtained.
  • this invention provides a manufacturing process of a stainless steel product by nitrogen absorption treatment, characterized by bringing a bulk product of ferritic stainless steel, which is made by melting, forming and machining into a desired shape, into contact with an inert gas containing nitrogen at or above 800°C to austenitize the product completely, or to austenitize it partially and form a two-phase structure composed of ferrite and austenite (claim 1).
  • This invention also provides a stainless steel product characterized by having a completely austenitic structure which is formed by adding nitrogen through contact with an inert gas containing nitrogen, to a bulk product of ferritic stainless steel which is made by melting, forming and machining into a desired shape (claim 2).
  • this invention provides a stainless steel product characterized by having a two-phase structure of ferrite and austenite which is formed by adding nitrogen through contact with an inert gas containing nitrogen, to a bulk product of ferritic stainless steel which is made by melting, forming and machining into a desired shape, so as to austenitize it partially (claim 3).
  • a bulk product of ferritic stainless steel made by melting, forming and machining into a desired shape is brought into contact with an inert gas containing nitrogen at or above 800 °C, so that it may be austenitized completely, or may be austenitized partially to have a two-phase structure formed from ferrite and austenite.
  • a technique of bringing a bulk product having a desired shape into contact with an inert gas containing nitrogen at or above 800°C belongs to a nitrogen absorption treatment classified as a solid-phase absorption method. Nitrogen is added to the whole product or a part thereof by heating it to or above 800°C in an inert gas atmosphere containing nitrogen.
  • the method of this invention of manufacturing a stainless steel product by nitrogen absorption treatment makes it possible to obtain a product having a desired shape easily, since the product to which nitrogen is added is made of ferritic stainless steel which is easier to work than austenitic stainless steel.
  • the stainless steel product of this invention which can be obtained as described is completely austenitized, or is partially austenitized and has a two-phase structure formed from ferrite and austenite. Therefore, the stainless steel product of this invention is outstanding in both corrosion resistance and strength and is advantageously an inexpensive product, since its cost of processing is low, even if it may have a complicated shape.
  • the addition of at least about 0.5% by mass of nitrogen to a bulk product of ferritic stainless steel is sufficient for achieving the results as mentioned above.
  • a round shape tensile test specimen with a planar shape as shown in Fig. 4 was formed by machining the round bar shown in Fig. 2. These two kinds of test specimens were given nitrogen absorption treatment by a nitrogen absorption furnace.
  • Each test specimen was placed on a mesh board of SUS304 stainless steel, degreased and cleansed with acetone, and inserted in a nitrogen absorption portion of the nitrogen absorption furnace.
  • the furnace was evacuated by a rotary pump until 2 Pa.
  • an inert gas containing nitrogen was introduced into the nitrogen absorption portion at a rate of two liters per minute, the nitrogen absorption portion was heated from room temperature to 1200°C at a rate of 5°C per minute and the test specimen was kept in contact with nitrogen at 1200°C for 24 hours.
  • the test specimen was quenched in iced water from 1200°C. After removal of scale from a surface by polishing, a microstructure was examined by using an X-ray diffractometer. A CuK ⁇ tube was used for X-ray diffraction and 2 ⁇ / ⁇ was varied from 40 to 90 degrees at a rate of one degree per minute. The X -ray diffraction pattern as obtained is shown in Fig. 5(a).
  • Fig. 5(b) shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of a material equivalent to the test specimen, but not given nitrogen absorption treatment.
  • the test specimen given nitrogen absorption treatment was made of perfectly austenitic stainless steel. The amount of nitrogen addition was about 0.9% by mass.
  • a tensile test was conducted on the test specimen by using an Instron-type testing machine with a capacity of 100 kN at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm per minute.
  • Fig. 6 shows balance found between strength and ductility of the test specimen which had been given nitrogen absorption treatment, of the material equivalent to the test specimen which had not been given nitrogen absorption treatment and of a conventional alloy.
  • the nitrogen absorption treatment realized a better balance between strength and ductility as compared with the conventional alloy and the material equivalent to the test specimen which had not been given nitrogen absorption treatment. The effectiveness of nitrogen absorption treatment was thus confirmed.
  • test specimen was also evaluated for corrosion resistance.
  • Figs. 7(a) to (d) are the polarization curves obtained by polarization tests conducted for evaluation on corrosion resistance. As is confirmed by Figs. 7(a) to (d), the test specimen showed higher corrosion resistance in all of the test solutions than the 316L stainless steel and the material equivalent to the test specimen not given nitrogen absorption treatment, and it did not have any pitting corrosion, as is obvious from Fig. 8(a). Pitting corrosion was found in 316L stainless steel, as shown in Fig. 8(b).
  • the method of this invention of manufacturing a stainless steel product by nitrogen absorption treatment and the stainless steel product thereby obtained overcome the difficulty in processing austenitic stainless steel and make it possible for even a product having a complicated shape to be obtained at a low cost and have satisfactorily high levels of strength and corrosion resistance.
  • this invention provides a stainless steel product formed from austenitic stainless steel which is considered to be difficult to process, has a desired shape, can be processed at a satisfactorily low production cost and has fully satisfactory properties with regard to both strength and corrosion resistance, and a method of manufacturing the same.
