Definitions
- the present invention relates to a duplex stainless steel, more particularly intended for the manufacture of structural elements for production plants (chemical, petrochemical, paper, offshore) or energy production, without being there limited, and the method of manufacturing a sheet, strip, bars, son, or profiles of this steel.
- This steel can more generally be used in substitution of a type 304L stainless steel in many applications, for example, in previous industries or in the food industry, including parts made from formed son (welded grids ..) profiles (strainers ..), axes ... One could also make molded parts and forged parts.
- stainless steel grades 304 and 304L are known, the microstructure of which in the annealed state is essentially austenitic; when cold-worked, they may also contain a variable proportion of martensite. These steels, however, have high additions of nickel, the cost is generally prohibitive. In addition, these grades may pose a problem from a technical point of view for certain applications because they have low tensile characteristics in the annealed state, especially with regard to the yield strength, and a low resistance to stress corrosion.
- austenitic-ferritic stainless steels which are composed mainly of a mixture of ferrite and austenite, such as 1.4362, 1.4655, 1.4477, 1.4462, 1.4507, 1.4410, 1.4501 and 1.4424 steels of the standard.
- EP10088 all of which contain more than 3.5% nickel. These steels are particularly resistant to corrosion and stress corrosion.
- ferritic or ferrito-martensitic stainless steel grades the microstructure of which, for a defined range of heat treatments, is composed of two constituents, ferrite and martensite, preferably in a ratio of 50/50, such as grade 1.4017 of EN10088.
- These grades with a chromium content generally less than 20%, have high mechanical tensile properties, but do not exhibit satisfactory corrosion resistance.
- the object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the steels and manufacturing processes of the prior art by providing a stainless steel having good mechanical characteristics and in particular a tensile yield strength greater than 400 or 450MPa to the annealed or dissolved state, a high resistance to corrosion and in particular greater than or equal to that of 304L, good microstructural stability and good resilience of the welded zones, without the addition of expensive additive elements, as well as a process for producing sheets, strips, bars, wires, or profiles made of this steel that is simplified to use.
- said ingot or hot slab is rolled at a temperature of between 1150 and 1280 ° C. to obtain a so-called quarto sheet, and then a heat treatment is carried out at a temperature of between 900 and 1100 ° C. and said sheet is cooled by quenching in air.
- the invention also covers a method of manufacturing a steel section, according to which a cold forming of a hot-rolled bar obtained according to the invention is carried out, as well as a method of manufacturing a forged part made of steel. steel, according to which a hot-rolled bar obtained according to the invention is fed in pieces, and then forging said billet between 1100 ° C. and 1280 ° C.
- the duplex stainless steel according to the invention comprises the contents defined below.
- the carbon content of the grade is less than or equal to 0.05% and preferably less than 0.03% by weight.
- the chromium content of the grade is between 21 and 25% by weight, preferably between 22 and 24% by weight in order to obtain a good resistance to corrosion, which is at least equivalent to that obtained with the shades of the type 304 or 304L.
- the nickel content of the grade is between 1 and 2.95% by weight.
- This austenite forming element is voluntarily maintained at a low level because of its cost. It is added in order to obtain good properties of resistance to the formation of corrosion cavities and to obtain a good compromise resilience / ductility. It has indeed the advantage of translating the transition curve of the resilience to low temperatures, which is particularly advantageous for the manufacture of thick quarto plates for which the properties of resilience are important.
- the nickel content is limited, in the steel according to the invention, it has been found that, in order to obtain a suitable austenite content after heat treatment between 900 ° C. and 1100 ° C., other elements must be added. austenite formers in unusually high amounts and to limit the contents of ferrite-forming elements.
- the nitrogen content of the grade is between 0.16 and 0.28%, which generally implies that nitrogen is added to the steel during processing.
- This austenite forming element first makes it possible to obtain a two-phase ferrite + austenite duplex steel containing a proportion of austenite suitable for good resistance to stress corrosion, and also to obtain high mechanical characteristics for the metal. It still allows to have a good microstructural stability in the heat-affected zone of the welded zones. Its maximum content is limited because, beyond 0.28%, solubility problems can be observed: formation of blowholes during the solidification of slabs, blooms, ingots, moldings or welds.
- the manganese content also austenite-forming element below 1150 ° C, is maintained below 2.0% by weight, and preferably below 1.5% by weight, because of the adverse effects of this element on many points.
- the ferro-manganese additions normally used to make up the grade also contain significant levels of phosphorus, and also selenium, which are not desired to be introduced into the steel and which are difficult to remove when refining the shade. Manganese disrupts this refining by limiting the possibility of decarburization.
- Molybdenum a ferrite-forming element
- Molybdenum a ferrite-forming element
- the contents of these two elements are such that the sum Mo + W / 2 is less than 0.50% by weight, preferably less than 0.4% by weight and particularly preferably less than 0.3%. in weight.
- the present inventors have found that by keeping these two elements, as well as their sums, below the values indicated, there was no observing intermetallic precipitation embrittlement, which allows in particular to de-constrain the manufacturing process steel sheets or strips in allowing air cooling of the sheets and strips after heat treatment or hot work. In addition, they observed that by controlling these elements within the limits claimed, the weldability of the grade was improved.
- Copper an austenite forming element
- This element improves the resistance to corrosion in a reducing acid medium.
- its content is limited to 0.50% by weight to avoid the formation of epsilon phases that it is desired to avoid, because they cause hardening of the ferritic phase and embrittlement of the duplex alloy.
- the oxygen content is preferably limited to 0.010% by weight in order to improve its forging ability.
- Boron is an optional element that can be added to the grade according to the invention to the extent of 0.003% by weight, in order to improve its transformation when hot. In another embodiment, however, it is preferred to limit the boron content to less than 0.0005% by weight to limit the risks of cracking on welding and continuous casting.
- Silicon a ferrite-forming element
- Silicon is present in a content of less than 1.4% by weight.
- Aluminum, a ferrite-forming element is present at a content of less than 0.05% by weight and preferably of between 0.005% and 0.040% by weight in order to obtain inclusions of calcium aluminates with a low melting point .
- the maximum aluminum content is also limited in order to avoid excessive formation of aluminum nitrides. The action of these two elements silicon and aluminum is essentially to ensure good deoxidation of the steel bath during the preparation.
- Cobalt an austenite forming element
- Cobalt is maintained at a content of less than 0.5% by weight, and preferably less than 0.3% by weight. This element is a residual brought by the raw materials. It is limited particularly because of the handling problems it can pose after irradiation of parts in nuclear facilities.
- the rare earths may be added to the composition in an amount of 0.1% by weight and preferably less than 0.06% by weight. These include cerium and lanthanum. We limit the contents in these elements as they are likely to form unwanted intermetallics.
- Vanadium a ferrite-forming element
- Vanadium may be added in the grade of up to 0.5% by weight and preferably less than 0.2% by weight in order to improve the cavernous corrosion resistance of the steel.
- Niobium a ferrite-forming element
- Niobium may be added in the grade of 0.3% by weight and preferably less than 0.050% by weight. It improves the tensile strength of the grade, thanks to the formation of fine niobium nitrides. Its content is limited to limit the formation of coarse niobium nitrides.
- Titanium a ferrite-forming element
- Titanium may be added in the grade of 0.1% by weight and preferably less than 0.02% by weight to limit the formation of titanium nitrides formed in the liquid steel in particular.
- Calcium may also be added to the grade according to the invention to obtain a calcium content of less than 0.03% by weight, and preferably greater than 0.0005% by weight, in order to control the nature of the inclusions of calcium. oxides and improve machinability.
- the content of this element is limited because it is likely to form with sulfur calcium sulphides which degrade the properties of corrosion resistance.
- the sulfur is maintained at a content of less than 0.010% by weight and preferably less than 0.003% by weight.
- this element forms sulphides with manganese or calcium, sulphides whose presence is detrimental to the resistance to corrosion. It is considered an impurity.
- Magnesium addition up to a final content of 0.1% can be made to modify the nature of the sulfides and oxides.

Description
La présente invention est relative à un acier inoxydable duplex, plus particulièrement destiné à la fabrication d'éléments de structures pour des installations de production de matière (chimie, pétrochimie, papier, offshore) ou de production d'énergie, sans pour autant y être limité, ainsi qu'au procédé de fabrication d'une tôle, d'une bande, de barres, de fils, ou de profils de cet acier.The present invention relates to a duplex stainless steel, more particularly intended for the manufacture of structural elements for production plants (chemical, petrochemical, paper, offshore) or energy production, without being there limited, and the method of manufacturing a sheet, strip, bars, son, or profiles of this steel.
Cet acier peut plus généralement être utilisé en substitution d'un acier inoxydable de type 304L dans de nombreuses applications, par exemple, dans les industries précédentes ou dans l'industrie agro-alimentaire, incluant des pièces réalisées à partir de fils formés (grilles soudées,..) de profils (crépines..), des axes... On pourrait aussi réaliser des pièces moulées et des pièces forgées.This steel can more generally be used in substitution of a
On connaît à cet effet les nuances d'acier inoxydable de type 304 et 304L dont la microstructure à l'état recuit est essentiellement austénitique; à l'état écroui à froid, ils peuvent contenir en outre une proportion variable de martensite. Ces aciers comportent cependant de fortes additions de nickel, dont le coût est généralement prohibitif. En outre, ces nuances peuvent poser problème d'un point de vue technique pour certaines applications car elles ont des caractéristiques de traction faibles à l'état recuit, notamment en ce qui concerne la limite d'élasticité, et une résistance peu élevée à la corrosion sous contrainte.For this purpose,
On connaît aussi des aciers inoxydables austéno-ferritiques, qui sont composés principalement d'un mélange de ferrite et d'austénite, tels que les aciers 1.4362, 1.4655, 1.4477, 1.4462, 1.4507, 1.4410, 1.4501 et 1.4424 de la norme
On connaît également des nuances d'acier inoxydables dites ferritiques ou ferrito - martensitiques, dont la microstructure est, pour une plage définie de traitements thermiques, composée de deux constituants, ferrite et martensite, de préférence dans un rapport de 50/50, telle la nuance 1.4017 de la norme EN10088. Ces nuances, à teneur en chrome généralement inférieure à 20%, présentent des caractéristiques mécaniques élevées en traction, mais ne présentent pas une résistance à la corrosion satisfaisante.Also known are ferritic or ferrito-martensitic stainless steel grades, the microstructure of which, for a defined range of heat treatments, is composed of two constituents, ferrite and martensite, preferably in a ratio of 50/50, such as grade 1.4017 of EN10088. These grades, with a chromium content generally less than 20%, have high mechanical tensile properties, but do not exhibit satisfactory corrosion resistance.
Par ailleurs, une simplification du procédé de fabrication des tôles, bandes, barres, fils ou profils d'acier, est également recherchée.In addition, a simplification of the manufacturing process of sheets, strips, bars, wires or steel profiles is also sought.
Le but de la présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des aciers et procédés de fabrication de l'art antérieur en mettant à disposition un acier inoxydable présentant de bonnes caractéristiques mécaniques et en particulier une limite d'élasticité en traction supérieure à 400 voire 450MPa à l'état recuit ou mis en solution, une résistance à la corrosion élevée et en particulier supérieure ou égale à celle du 304L, une bonne stabilité microstructurale et une bonne résilience des zones soudées, sans ajout d'éléments d'addition coûteux, ainsi qu'un procédé de fabrication de tôles, bandes, barres, fils, ou profils en cet acier qui soit de mise en oeuvre simplifiée.The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages of the steels and manufacturing processes of the prior art by providing a stainless steel having good mechanical characteristics and in particular a tensile yield strength greater than 400 or 450MPa to the annealed or dissolved state, a high resistance to corrosion and in particular greater than or equal to that of 304L, good microstructural stability and good resilience of the welded zones, without the addition of expensive additive elements, as well as a process for producing sheets, strips, bars, wires, or profiles made of this steel that is simplified to use.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront à la lecture de la description qui va suivre, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple.Other features and advantages of the invention will appear on reading the description which follows, given solely by way of example.
L'acier inoxydable duplex selon l'invention comprend les teneurs définies ci-dessous.The duplex stainless steel according to the invention comprises the contents defined below.
La teneur en carbone de la nuance est inférieure ou égale à 0,05% et de préférence inférieure à 0,03% en poids.The carbon content of the grade is less than or equal to 0.05% and preferably less than 0.03% by weight.
La teneur en chrome de la nuance est comprise entre 21 et 25% en poids, de préférence entre 22 et 24% en poids afin d'obtenir une bonne résistance à la corrosion, qui soit au moins équivalente à celle obtenue avec les nuances de type 304 ou 304L.The chromium content of the grade is between 21 and 25% by weight, preferably between 22 and 24% by weight in order to obtain a good resistance to corrosion, which is at least equivalent to that obtained with the shades of the
La teneur en nickel de la nuance est comprise entre 1 et 2,95% en poids. Cet élément formateur d'austénite est volontairement maintenu à un faible niveau en raison de son coût. On en ajoute afin d'obtenir de bonnes propriétés de résistance à la formation de cavernes de corrosion et pour obtenir un bon compromis résilience / ductilité. Il présente en effet l'intérêt de translater la courbe de transition de la résilience vers les températures basses, ce qui est particulièrement avantageux pour la fabrication de tôles quarto épaisses pour lesquelles les propriétés de résilience sont importantes. La teneur en nickel étant limitée, dans l'acier selon l'invention, on a trouvé qu'il convenait, pour obtenir une teneur en austénite appropriée après traitement thermique entre 900°C et 1100°C, d'ajouter d'autres éléments formateurs d'austénite en quantités inhabituellement élevées et de limiter les teneurs en éléments formateurs de ferrite.The nickel content of the grade is between 1 and 2.95% by weight. This austenite forming element is voluntarily maintained at a low level because of its cost. It is added in order to obtain good properties of resistance to the formation of corrosion cavities and to obtain a good compromise resilience / ductility. It has indeed the advantage of translating the transition curve of the resilience to low temperatures, which is particularly advantageous for the manufacture of thick quarto plates for which the properties of resilience are important. As the nickel content is limited, in the steel according to the invention, it has been found that, in order to obtain a suitable austenite content after heat treatment between 900 ° C. and 1100 ° C., other elements must be added. austenite formers in unusually high amounts and to limit the contents of ferrite-forming elements.
La teneur en azote de la nuance est comprise entre 0,16 et 0,28%, ce qui implique généralement que l'azote soit ajouté dans l'acier lors de l'élaboration. Cet élément formateur d'austénite permet d'abord d'obtenir un acier duplex biphasé ferrite+austénite contenant une proportion d'austénite appropriée à une bonne résistance à la corrosion sous tension, et aussi d'obtenir des caractéristiques mécaniques élevées pour le métal. Il permet encore d'avoir une bonne stabilité microstructurale dans la zone affectée thermiquement des zones soudées. On limite sa teneur maximale car, au-delà de 0,28%, on peut observer des problèmes de solubilité : formation de soufflures lors de la solidification des brames, blooms, lingots, pièces moulées ou des soudures.The nitrogen content of the grade is between 0.16 and 0.28%, which generally implies that nitrogen is added to the steel during processing. This austenite forming element first makes it possible to obtain a two-phase ferrite + austenite duplex steel containing a proportion of austenite suitable for good resistance to stress corrosion, and also to obtain high mechanical characteristics for the metal. It still allows to have a good microstructural stability in the heat-affected zone of the welded zones. Its maximum content is limited because, beyond 0.28%, solubility problems can be observed: formation of blowholes during the solidification of slabs, blooms, ingots, moldings or welds.
La teneur en manganèse, élément également formateur d'austénite en dessous de 1150°C, est maintenue inférieure à 2,0% en poids, et de préférence inférieure à 1,5% en poids, en raison des effets néfastes de cet élément sur de nombreux points. Ainsi, il pose des problèmes lors de l'élaboration et de l'affinage de la nuance, car il attaque certains réfractaires utilisées pour les poches, ce qui nécessite un remplacement plus fréquent de ces éléments coûteux et donc des interruptions plus fréquentes du procédé. Les apports de ferro-manganèse que l'on utilise normalement pour mettre à composition la nuance, contiennent en outre des teneurs notables en phosphore, et également en sélénium, dont on ne souhaite pas l'introduction dans l'acier et qui sont difficiles à retirer lors de l'affinage de la nuance. Le manganèse perturbe par ailleurs cet affinage en limitant la possibilité de décarburation. Il pose également problème plus en aval dans le procédé, car il détériore la résistance à la corrosion de la nuance en raison de la formation de sulfures de manganèse MnS, et d'inclusions oxydées. Cet élément était traditionnellement ajouté aux nuances que l'on souhaitait enrichir en azote, afin d'augmenter la solubilité de cet élément dans la nuance. Faute d'une teneur suffisante en manganèse, il n'était donc pas possible d'atteindre un tel niveau en azote dans l'acier. Les présents inventeurs ont cependant constaté qu'il était possible de limiter l'ajout du manganèse dans l'acier selon l'invention, tout en ajoutant suffisamment d'azote pour obtenir l'effet recherché sur l'équilibrage ferrite - austénite du métal de base et la stabilisation des zones affectées thermiquement des zones soudées.The manganese content, also austenite-forming element below 1150 ° C, is maintained below 2.0% by weight, and preferably below 1.5% by weight, because of the adverse effects of this element on many points. Thus, it poses problems in the development and refinement of the grade, because it attacks some refractories used for the pockets, which requires a more frequent replacement of these expensive elements and therefore more frequent interruptions of the process. The ferro-manganese additions normally used to make up the grade also contain significant levels of phosphorus, and also selenium, which are not desired to be introduced into the steel and which are difficult to remove when refining the shade. Manganese disrupts this refining by limiting the possibility of decarburization. It is also a problem further downstream in the process because it deteriorates the corrosion resistance of the grade due to the formation of MnS manganese sulfides, and oxidized inclusions. This element was traditionally added to the nuances that one wished to enrich with nitrogen, in order to increase the solubility of this element in the shade. Without a sufficient manganese content, it was therefore not possible to achieve such a level of nitrogen in the steel. The present inventors, however, have found that it is possible to limit the addition of manganese in the steel according to the invention, while adding enough nitrogen to obtain the desired effect on the ferrite-austenite equilibration of the metal of the invention. base and stabilization of thermally affected areas of welded areas.
Le molybdène, élément formateur de ferrite, est maintenu à une teneur inférieure à 0,45% en poids, de même que le tungstène est maintenu à une teneur inférieure à 0,15% en poids. Par ailleurs, les teneurs en ces deux éléments sont telles que la somme Mo+W/2 est inférieure à 0,50% en poids, de préférence inférieure à 0,4% en poids et de façon particulièrement préférée inférieure à 0,3% en poids. En effet, les présents inventeurs ont constaté qu'en maintenant ces deux éléments, ainsi que leurs sommes, sous les valeurs indiquées, on n'observait pas de précipitations d'intermétalliques fragilisants, ce qui permet notamment de dé-contraindre le procédé de fabrication des tôles ou bandes d'acier en autorisant un refroidissement à l'air des tôles et bandes après traitement thermique ou mise en oeuvre à chaud. En outre, ils ont observé qu'en contrôlant ces éléments dans les limites revendiquées, on améliorait l'aptitude au soudage de la nuance.Molybdenum, a ferrite-forming element, is maintained at less than 0.45% by weight, as tungsten is maintained at less than 0.15% by weight. Moreover, the contents of these two elements are such that the sum Mo + W / 2 is less than 0.50% by weight, preferably less than 0.4% by weight and particularly preferably less than 0.3%. in weight. Indeed, the present inventors have found that by keeping these two elements, as well as their sums, below the values indicated, there was no observing intermetallic precipitation embrittlement, which allows in particular to de-constrain the manufacturing process steel sheets or strips in allowing air cooling of the sheets and strips after heat treatment or hot work. In addition, they observed that by controlling these elements within the limits claimed, the weldability of the grade was improved.
Le cuivre, élément formateur d'austénite, est présent en une teneur comprise entre 0,11 et 0,50% en poids, et de préférence compris entre 0,15 et 0,40% en poids. Cet élément améliore la résistance à la corrosion en milieu acide réducteur. On limite cependant sa teneur à 0,50% en poids pour éviter la formation de phases epsilon que l'on souhaite éviter, car elles provoquent durcissement de la phase ferritique et fragilisation de l'alliage duplex.Copper, an austenite forming element, is present in a content of between 0.11 and 0.50% by weight, and preferably between 0.15 and 0.40% by weight. This element improves the resistance to corrosion in a reducing acid medium. However, its content is limited to 0.50% by weight to avoid the formation of epsilon phases that it is desired to avoid, because they cause hardening of the ferritic phase and embrittlement of the duplex alloy.
La teneur en oxygène est de préférence limitée à 0,010% en poids, afin d'améliorer son aptitude au forgeage.The oxygen content is preferably limited to 0.010% by weight in order to improve its forging ability.
Le bore est un élément optionnel qui peut être ajouté à la nuance selon l'invention à hauteur de 0,003% en poids, afin d'améliorer sa transformation à chaud. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on préfère cependant limiter la teneur en bore à moins de 0,0005% en poids pour limiter les risques de fissuration au soudage et en coulée continue.Boron is an optional element that can be added to the grade according to the invention to the extent of 0.003% by weight, in order to improve its transformation when hot. In another embodiment, however, it is preferred to limit the boron content to less than 0.0005% by weight to limit the risks of cracking on welding and continuous casting.

L'aluminium, élément formateur de ferrite, est présent à une teneur inférieure à 0,05 % en poids et de préférence comprise entre 0,005 % et 0,040 % en poids afin d'obtenir des inclusions d'aluminates de calcium à bas point de fusion. On limite aussi la teneur maximale en aluminium afin d'éviter une formation excessive de nitrures d'aluminium. L'action de ces deux éléments silicium et aluminium est essentiellement d'assurer une bonne désoxydation du bain d'acier lors de l'élaboration.Silicon, a ferrite-forming element, is present in a content of less than 1.4% by weight. Aluminum, a ferrite-forming element, is present at a content of less than 0.05% by weight and preferably of between 0.005% and 0.040% by weight in order to obtain inclusions of calcium aluminates with a low melting point . The maximum aluminum content is also limited in order to avoid excessive formation of aluminum nitrides. The action of these two elements silicon and aluminum is essentially to ensure good deoxidation of the steel bath during the preparation.
Le cobalt, élément formateur d'austénite, est maintenu à une teneur inférieure à 0,5% en poids, et de préférence inférieure à 0,3% en poids. Cet élément est un résiduel apporté par les matières premières. On le limite notamment en raison des problèmes de manutention qu'il peut poser après irradiation des pièces dans des installations nucléaires.Cobalt, an austenite forming element, is maintained at a content of less than 0.5% by weight, and preferably less than 0.3% by weight. This element is a residual brought by the raw materials. It is limited particularly because of the handling problems it can pose after irradiation of parts in nuclear facilities.
Les terres rares (désignées par REM) peuvent être ajoutées dans la composition à hauteur de 0,1% en poids et de préférence inférieure à 0,06% en poids. On citera notamment le cérium et le lanthane.

On limite sa teneur pour limiter la formation de nitrures de niobium grossiers.Niobium, a ferrite-forming element, may be added in the grade of 0.3% by weight and preferably less than 0.050% by weight. It improves the tensile strength of the grade, thanks to the formation of fine niobium nitrides. Its content is limited to limit the formation of coarse niobium nitrides.

On pourra également ajouter à la nuance selon l'invention du calcium, pour obtenir une teneur en calcium inférieure à 0,03% en poids, et de préférence supérieure à 0,0005 % en poids, afin de maitriser la nature des inclusions d'oxydes et d'améliorer l'usinabilité. On limite la teneur de cet élément car il est susceptible de former avec le soufre des sulfures de calcium qui dégradent les propriétés de résistance à la corrosion.Calcium may also be added to the grade according to the invention to obtain a calcium content of less than 0.03% by weight, and preferably greater than 0.0005% by weight, in order to control the nature of the inclusions of calcium. oxides and improve machinability. The content of this element is limited because it is likely to form with sulfur calcium sulphides which degrade the properties of corrosion resistance.
Le soufre est maintenu à une teneur inférieure à 0,010% en poids et de préférence à une teneur inférieure à 0,003% en poids. Comme on l'a vu précédemment, cet élément forme des sulfures avec le manganèse ou le calcium, sulfures dont la présence est néfaste pour la résistance à la corrosion. Il est considéré comme une impureté.The sulfur is maintained at a content of less than 0.010% by weight and preferably less than 0.003% by weight. As we saw earlier, this element forms sulphides with manganese or calcium, sulphides whose presence is detrimental to the resistance to corrosion. It is considered an impurity.
Une addition de magnésium à concurrence d'une teneur finale de 0,1 % peut être faite pour modifier la nature des sulfures et des oxydes.Magnesium addition up to a final content of 0.1% can be made to modify the nature of the sulfides and oxides.
Le sélénium est de préférence maintenu à moins de 0,005% en poids en raison de son effet néfaste sur la résistance à la corrosion.

Par ailleurs, les présents inventeurs ont constaté que, lorsque les nuances selon l'invention sont telles que leurs pourcentages en poids de chrome, molybdène, azote, nickel et manganèse respectent la relation ci-dessous, elles présentent une bonne résistance à la corrosion localisée, c'est à dire formation de piqûres ou cavernes :
La microstructure de l'acier selon l'invention, à l'état recuit, est composée d'austénite et de ferrite, qui sont de préférence, après traitement de 1 h à 1000°C, dans une proportion de 35 à 65% en volume de ferrite et de façon plus particulièrement préférée de 35 à 55% en volume de ferrite.The microstructure of the steel according to the invention, in the annealed state, is composed of austenite and ferrite, which are preferably, after treatment of 1 hour at 1000 ° C., in a proportion of 35 to 65% by weight. ferrite volume and more preferably from 35 to 55% by volume of ferrite.
Les présents inventeurs ont aussi trouvé que la formule suivante rend convenablement compte de la teneur en ferrite à 1100°C :
Ainsi, pour obtenir une proportion de ferrite comprise entre 35 et 65% à 1100°C, l'indice IF doit être compris entre 40 et 70.Thus, to obtain a ferrite content of between 35 and 65% at 1100 ° C., the IF number must be between 40 and 70.
A l'état recuit, la microstructure ne contient pas d'autres phases qui seraient nocives pour ses propriétés mécaniques notamment, telles que la phase sigma et autres phases intermétalliques. A l'état écroui à froid, une partie de l'austénite peut avoir été convertie en martensite, en fonction de la température effective de déformation et de la quantité de déformation à froid appliquée.In the annealed state, the microstructure does not contain other phases which would be harmful for its mechanical properties in particular, such as the sigma phase and other intermetallic phases. In the cold worked state, a part of the austenite may have been converted to martensite, depending on the effective deformation temperature and the amount of cold deformation applied.
D'une façon générale, l'acier selon l'invention peut être élaboré et fabriqué sous forme de tôles laminées à chaud, encore appelées tôles quarto, mais aussi sous forme de bandes laminées à chaud, à partir de brames ou lingots et également sous forme de bande laminées à froid à partir de bandes laminées à chaud. Il peut aussi être laminé à chaud en barres ou fils-machine ou en profils ou forgés ; ces produits peuvent être ensuite transformés à chaud par forgeage ou à froid en barres ou profils étirés ou en fils tréfilés. L'acier selon l'invention peut aussi être mis en oeuvre par moulage suivi ou non de traitement thermique.In general, the steel according to the invention can be prepared and manufactured in the form of hot-rolled sheets, also called quarto plates, but also in the form of hot-rolled strips, from slabs or ingots and also under Cold rolled strip form from hot rolled strip. It can also be hot rolled into bars or wire-machines or into profiles or forged; these products can then be hot-formed by forging or cold-formed into drawn bars or profiles or into drawn wires. The steel according to the invention can also be used by molding followed or not by heat treatment.
Afin d'obtenir les meilleures performances possibles, on utilisera de préférence le procédé selon l'invention qui comprend tout d'abord l'approvisionnement d'un lingot, d'une brame ou d'un bloom d'acier ayant une composition conforme à l'invention.In order to obtain the best possible performance, use will preferably be made of the process according to the invention which firstly comprises the supply of an ingot, slab or bloom of steel having a composition in accordance with the invention.
Ce lingot, cette brame ou ce bloom sont généralement obtenus par fusion des matières premières dans un four électrique, suivi d'une refusion sous vide de type AOD ou VOD avec décarburation. On peut ensuite couler la nuance sous forme de lingots, ou sous forme de brames ou blooms par coulée continue dans une lingotière sans fond. On pourrait également envisager de couler la nuance directement sous forme de brames minces, en particulier par coulée continue entre cylindres contrarotatifs.This ingot, this slab or this bloom are generally obtained by melting the raw materials in an electric furnace, followed by a vacuum reflow of the AOD or VOD type with decarburization. The grade can then be cast in the form of ingots, or in the form of slabs or blooms by continuous casting in a bottomless mold. It could also be envisaged to cast the shade directly in the form of thin slabs, in particular by continuous casting between counter-rotating rolls.
Après approvisionnement du lingot ou de la brame ou du bloom, on procède éventuellement à un réchauffage pour atteindre une température comprise entre 1150 et 1280 °C, mais il est aussi possible de travailler directement sur la brame venant d'être coulée en continu, dans la chaude de coulée.After supplying the ingot or slab or bloom, it is optionally heated to reach a temperature between 1150 and 1280 ° C, but it is also possible to work directly on the slab that has just been continuously cast, in the hot casting.
Dans le cas de la fabrication de tôles, on lamine ensuite à chaud la brame ou le lingot pour obtenir une tôle dite quarto qui présente généralement une épaisseur comprise entre 5 et 100 mm. Les taux de réduction généralement employés à ce stade varient entre 3 et 30%. Cette tôle est ensuite soumise à un traitement thermique de remise en solution des précipités formés à ce stade par réchauffage à une température comprise entre 900 et 1100 °C, puis refroidie.In the case of the manufacture of metal sheets, the slab or the slab is then hot-rolled to obtain a so-called quarto sheet which generally has a thickness of between 5 and 100 mm. The reduction rates generally used at this stage vary between 3 and 30%. This sheet is then subjected to a heat treatment of resuspension of precipitates formed at this stage by reheating at a temperature between 900 and 1100 ° C, and then cooled.
Le procédé selon l'invention prévoit un refroidissement par trempe à l'air qui est plus facile à mettre en oeuvre que le refroidissement classiquement utilisé pour ce type de nuance, qui est un refroidissement plus rapide, à l'aide d'eau. Il reste cependant possible de procéder à un refroidissement à l'eau si on le souhaite.The method according to the invention provides an air quenching cooling which is easier to implement than the cooling conventionally used for this type of shade, which is a faster cooling, using water. However, it remains possible to cool with water if desired.
Ce refroidissement lent, à l'air, est notamment rendu possible grâce à l'équilibrage particulier de la composition selon l'invention qui n'est pas sujette à la précipitation de composés nocifs pour ses propriétés d'usage.This slow cooling, in air, is made possible thanks to the particular balancing of the composition according to the invention which is not subject to the precipitation of compounds harmful to its properties of use.
A l'issue du laminage à chaud, la tôle quarto peut être planée, découpée et décapée, si on souhaite la livrer dans cet état.At the end of the hot rolling, the quarto plate can be glued, cut and stripped, if it is desired to deliver it in this state.
On peut également laminer cet acier nu sur un train à bande à des épaisseurs comprises entre 3 et 10mm.This bare steel can also be rolled on a band train at thicknesses between 3 and 10 mm.
Dans le cas de la fabrication de produits longs à partir de lingots ou de blooms, on peut laminer à chaud en une seule chaude sur un laminoir multi-cages, en cylindres cannelés, à une température comprise entre 1150 et 1280°C, pour obtenir une barre ou une couronne de fil machine ou laminé. Le rapport de section entre le bloom initial et le produit final est de préférence supérieur à 3, de façon à assurer la santé interne du produit laminé.In the case of the production of long products from ingots or blooms, it is possible to hot roll in a single hot mill on a multi-cage mill, in corrugated rolls, at a temperature of between 1150 and 1280 ° C., to obtain a bar or a ring of wire rod or laminate. The section ratio between the initial bloom and the final product is preferably greater than 3, so as to ensure the internal health of the rolled product.
Lorsque l'on a fabriqué une barre, celle-ci est refroidie en sortie de laminage par simple étalement à l'air.When a bar has been manufactured, it is cooled at the rolling outlet by simple air spreading.
Lorsque l'on a fabriqué du fil laminé de diamètre supérieur à 13 mm, celui-ci peut être refroidi, par trempe en couronne dans un bac d'eau en sortie de laminoir.When laminated wire with a diameter greater than 13 mm has been manufactured, it can be cooled by quenching in a ring of water at the outlet of the rolling mill.
Lorsque l'on a fabriqué du fil de diamètre inférieur ou égal à 13 mm, on peut le refroidir par trempe à l'eau en spires étalées sur convoyeur après passage de celles-ci sur convoyeur en 2 à 5 mn à travers un four de mise en solution à température comprise entre 850°C et 1100°C.When wire of diameter less than or equal to 13 mm has been manufactured, it can be cooled by quenching with water in turns spread on a conveyor after passing them on the conveyor in 2 to 5 minutes through a furnace. solution at a temperature between 850 ° C and 1100 ° C.
Un traitement thermique ultérieur en four, entre 900°C et 1100°C, peut être pratiqué optionnellement sur ces barres ou couronnes déjà traitées dans la chaude de laminage, si l'on souhaite achever la recristallisation de la structure et abaisser légèrement les caractéristiques mécaniques en traction.Subsequent heat treatment in the oven, between 900 ° C and 1100 ° C, can be performed optionally on these bars or rings already treated in the hot rolling, if it is desired to complete the recrystallization of the structure and slightly lower the mechanical characteristics in traction.
A l'issue du refroidissement de ces barres ou de ces couronnes de fils, on pourra procéder à différents traitements de mise en forme à chaud ou à froid, en fonction de l'usage final du produit. Ainsi, on pourra procéder à un étirage à froid des barres ou à un tréfilage des fils, à l'issue du refroidissement.After the cooling of these bars or son rings, we can proceed to various hot forming treatments or cold, depending on the final use of the product. Thus, it will be possible to cold drawing bars or wire drawing son, after cooling.
On pourra également profiler à froid les barres laminées à chaud, ou bien encore fabriquer des pièces après avoir débiter les barres en lopins et les avoir forgées.It will also be possible to cold profile the hot-rolled bars, or even to manufacture parts after having cut the bars into billets and forged them.

Des lingots de laboratoire de 25 kg ont été réalisés par fusion par induction sous vide de matières premières et ferro-alliages purs, puis apport d'azote par addition de ferro-alliages nitrurés sous pression partielle d'azote et coulés en moule métallique sous pression externe de 0,8 bar d'azote. Parmi ceux-ci, seuls les essais 14441 et 14604 sont conformes à l'invention.25 kg laboratory ingots were made by vacuum induction melting of raw materials and pure ferroalloys, followed by the addition of nitrogen by adding nitrided ferroalloys under partial nitrogen pressure and cast in a pressurized metal mold. external 0.8 bar nitrogen. Of these, only tests 14441 and 14604 are in accordance with the invention.
Une coulée industrielle selon l'invention de 150 tonnes référencée 8768 a été réalisée. Cette nuance a été élaborée par fusion au four électrique, puis affinée sous vide avec décarburation pour atteindre le niveau de carbone visé. Elle a ensuite été coulée en continu en brames de section 220 x 1700 mm, puis laminée à chaud après réchauffage à 1200°C en des tôles dites quarto d'épaisseur 7, 12 et 20mm. Les tôles ainsi obtenues sont ensuite soumises à un traitement thermique vers 1000°C afin de mettre en solution les différents précipités présents à ce stade. A l'issue du traitement thermique, les tôles sont refroidies à l'eau puis planées, découpées et décapées.An industrial casting according to the invention of 150 tons referenced 8768 was performed. This grade was developed by melting in the electric oven, then refined under vacuum with decarburization to reach the target carbon level. It was then continuously cast into slabs of section 220 x 1700 mm, then hot rolled after heating to 1200 ° C in so-called quarto plates of thickness 7, 12 and 20mm. The sheets thus obtained are then subjected to a heat treatment at about 1000 ° C. in order to put in solution the different precipitates present at this stage. At the end of the heat treatment, the sheets are cooled with water and then planed, cut and stripped.
Les compositions en pourcentages en poids des différentes nuances élaborées en laboratoire ou de façon industrielle sont rassemblées dans le tableau 1, ainsi que celles de différents produits ou demi-produits industriels élaborés en four électrique, affinage à l'AOD, coulée en lingot ou en continu, mentionnés à titre de comparaison.
Sur des morceaux de 1 à 8 cm3 découpés dans ces coulées de laboratoire à l'état brut de coulée ou sur les produits industriels à l'état brut de coulée, on a réalisé en bain de sel, avec trempe à l'eau en fin de traitement, des traitements thermiques de 30 minutes à température variable, pour déterminer la proportion de ferrite à haute température. La ferrite étant magnétique, contrairement à l'austénite, aux carbures et nitrures éventuellement présents, on a utilisé une méthode de dosage par mesure de l'aimantation à saturation. Les teneurs en ferrite ainsi déterminées sont reportées au tableau 2 et reportées en figure 1.On pieces of 1 to 8 cm 3 cut in these casting laboratory in the raw state of casting or on industrial products in the raw state of casting, it was carried out in salt bath, with quenching with water in end of treatment, heat treatments of 30 minutes at variable temperature, to determine the proportion of ferrite at high temperature. Ferrite being magnetic, unlike austenite, carbides and nitrides may be present, a metering method was used to measure the saturation magnetization. The ferrite contents thus determined are reported in Table 2 and reported in FIG.
Si on considère la figure 1, on constate une bonne corrélation entre l'indice IF et les teneurs en ferrite mesurées sur le métal de base après traitements à 1100°C.If we consider FIG. 1, a good correlation is found between the IF index and the ferrite contents measured on the base metal after treatments at 1100 ° C.
On constate par ailleurs que la coulée selon l'invention, n° 14441, présente, en dessous de 1300°C, une teneur en ferrite appropriée à la transformation à chaud en structure duplex. En outre, après traitement dans le domaine de 950°C à 1100°C, elle présente une teneur en ferrite appropriée à la résistance à la corrosion sous tension.
La teneur en ferrite a également été mesurée par la méthode de la grille (selon norme ASTM E 562) sur les barreaux forgés après traitement thermique à 1030°C et sur des zones affectées thermiquement de cordons de soudure déposés par électrode enrobée avec une énergie constante conduisant à des vitesses de refroidissement de 20°C/s à 700°C. Les résultats (teneurs en ferrite en métal de base et en zone affectée thermiquement) sont donnés dans le tableau 3. On constate que les coulées 14441 et 14604 selon l'invention présentent une teneur de ferrite dans le métal de base et dans la zone affectée thermiquement favorisant la résistance à la corrosion localisée et sous tension, ainsi que la résilience (cf. tableau 5).

Le lingot 14439 a présenté des soufflures et est inutilisable. Pour éviter ce phénomène lors de coulées sous air à la pression atmosphérique, il s'avère donc nécessaire de limiter la teneur en azote des coulées selon l'invention à moins de 0,28 % en poids.The 14439 ingot has blistered and is unusable. To avoid this phenomenon during airflows at atmospheric pressure, it is therefore necessary to limit the nitrogen content of the castings according to the invention to less than 0.28% by weight.
La capacité de déformation à chaud a été évaluée à l'aide d'essais de traction à chaud, réalisé sur des éprouvettes dont la partie calibrée, de diamètre 8 mm et de longueur 5 mm, est chauffée par effet Joule pendant 80 secondes à 1280°C, puis refroidie à 2°C par seconde jusqu'à la température d'essai qui varie entre 900 et 1280°C. Lorsque cette température est atteinte, on déclenche immédiatement la traction rapide, à la vitesse de 73 mm/s ; après rupture, on mesure le diamètre de striction au niveau de la rupture.The hot deformation capacity was evaluated using hot tensile tests carried out on specimens whose calibrated portion, 8 mm in diameter and 5 mm in length, is heated by Joule effect for 80 seconds at 1280. ° C, then cooled to 2 ° C per second until the test temperature varies between 900 and 1280 ° C. When this temperature is reached, the rapid pull is immediately triggered at a speed of 73 mm / s; after breaking, the necking diameter is measured at the fracture.
L'écart diamétral relatif (tableau 4), tel que défini ci-dessous, rend compte de la capacité de déformation à chaud :
On constate à la lecture du tableau 4 et de la figure 2 qui en représente les données sous forme de courbes, que la coulée 14441 selon l'invention a une capacité de déformation à chaud comparable à celle de la coulée de référence comparative n° 14382.It can be seen from Table 4 and Figure 2 which represents the data in the form of curves that casting 14441 according to the invention has a hot deformation capacity comparable to that of the comparative reference casting No. 14382.

Les résultats des coulées de laboratoire 14441 et 14604 et de la coulée industrielle 8768, toutes trois selon l'invention, montrent qu'une limite élastique supérieure à 450MPa, soit le double de celle obtenue pour des aciers austénitique de type AISI 304L, peut être obtenue.The results of laboratory flows 14441 and 14604 and industrial casting 8768, all three according to the invention, show that a yield strength greater than 450 MPa, twice that obtained for austenitic steels of the
Les valeurs de résilience déterminées à 20°C pour les coulées de laboratoire 14441 et 14604 et de la coulée industrielle 8768, toutes trois selon l'invention, sont toutes supérieures à 200 J ce qui est satisfaisant compte-tenu du niveau de la limite d'élasticité de ces nuances. Pour la coulée 14383 hors invention, à basse teneur en azote et à forte teneur en ferrite à l'état recuit, les valeurs de résilience à 20°C sont inférieures à 100 J. Ceci confirme la nécessité d'une addition suffisante en azote pour obtenir un niveau satisfaisant de ténacité.The resilience values determined at 20 ° C. for laboratory flows 14441 and 14604 and industrial casting 8768, all three according to the invention, are all greater than 200 J, which is satisfactory. given the level of the elastic limit of these grades. For casting 14383 outside the invention, low nitrogen content and high ferrite content in the annealed state, the resilience values at 20 ° C are less than 100 J. This confirms the need for a sufficient nitrogen addition for to obtain a satisfactory level of tenacity.
Des essais de résistance à la corrosion ont été réalisés à la fois sur les barreaux forgées à partir des coulées de laboratoire et sur des coupons prélevées sur des tôles laminées à chaud issues de coulées industrielles.Corrosion resistance tests were carried out both on the bars forged from laboratory laps and on coupons taken from hot-rolled sheets from industrial castings.
La résistance à la corrosion par piqûres est évaluée par tracé des courbes intensités potentielles et détermination du potentiel de piqûre pour i = 100µA/cm2. Ce paramètre a été mesuré dans un milieu neutre (pH = 6,4) fortement chloruré ([CI-] = 30g/l) à 50°C (E1), représentatif des saumures rencontrées dans les installations de dessalement d'eau de mer, et dans un milieu légèrement acide (pH = 5,5) faiblement chloruré ([Cl-] = 250ppm) à température ambiante (E2), représentatif d'une eau potable. La température critique de piqûres en milieu chlorure ferrique (FeCl3 6%) à également été déterminée selon la norme ASTM G48-00 méthode C.The resistance to pitting corrosion is evaluated by plotting the curves potential intensities and determination of the pitting potential for i = 100μA / cm 2 . This parameter was measured in a strongly chlorinated neutral medium (pH = 6.4) ([CI-] = 30g / l) at 50 ° C (E 1 ), representative of the brines encountered in water desalination plants. sea, and in a slightly acidic medium (pH = 5.5) weakly chlorinated ([Cl-] = 250ppm) at room temperature (E 2 ), representative of a drinking water. The critical pitting temperature in medium ferric chloride (FeCl 3 6%) was also determined according to ASTM G48-00 method C.
Dans une autre série d'essais, on a déterminé la résistance à la corrosion par piqûre en milieu neutre désaéré à 0,86 Moles / litre en NaCl, correspondant à 5% en poids en NaCl, à 35°C. Une mesure du potentiel d'abandon pendant 900 secondes est réalisée. Ensuite, une courbe potentio-dynamique est tracée à la vitesse de 100 mV/min à partir de l'abandon jusqu'au potentiel de piqûre. Le potentiel de piqûre (E3) est déterminé pour i=100 µA/cm2. On a testé, dans ces conditions, des échantillons selon l'invention, ainsi que des échantillons de référence en nuance 304L et en nuances duplex austéno-ferritiques type 1.4362 et autres.In another series of tests, the pitting resistance was determined in deaerated neutral medium at 0.86 Moles / liter NaCl, corresponding to 5% by weight NaCl, at 35 ° C. A measurement of the abandonment potential for 900 seconds is carried out. Then, a potentiodynamic curve is plotted at a speed of 100 mV / min from the abandonment to the pitting potential. The pitting potential (E 3 ) is determined for i = 100 μA / cm 2 . Samples according to the invention were tested under these conditions, as well as reference samples in
La résistance à la corrosion caverneuse a été étudiée en mesurant la température critique de caverne dans le milieu neutre (pH = 6,4) fortement chloruré ([CI-] = 30g/l). Le montage permettant de favoriser la corrosion caverneuse est conforme aux recommandations faites dans la norme ASTM G78-99. La température critique de caverne est la température minimale pour laquelle des cavernes d'une profondeur supérieure à 25 µm ont été observées.Resistance to crevice corrosion was studied by measuring the critical cavern temperature in the highly chlorinated neutral medium (pH = 6.4) ([CI-] = 30g / l). The mounting to promote crevice corrosion is in accordance with the recommendations made in ASTM G78-99. The critical cave temperature is the minimum temperature for which cavities deeper than 25 μm have been observed.
Les valeurs obtenues figurent dans le tableau 6. La comparaison entre les résultats obtenus sur la tôle en UNS S32304 et le barreau issu de la coulée 14382, tous deux de composition chimique similaire, indique que la résistance à la corrosion d'un barreau est plus faible que celle d'une tôle laminée à chaud de même composition.The values obtained are shown in Table 6. The comparison between the results obtained on the UNS sheet S32304 and the bar resulting from casting 14382, both of similar chemical composition, indicates that the corrosion resistance of a bar is more weak than that of a hot-rolled sheet of the same composition.
Les présents inventeurs ont trouvé que l'indice de résistance à la corrosion localisée, c'est à dire formation de piqûres ou cavernes, abrégé par IRCL et défini par :
(teneurs en Cr, Mo, N , Ni et Mn en % en poids)
rend bien compte du classement de l'ensemble de compositions à moins de 6% de nickel en tenue à la corrosion localisée (voir figures 3, 4 et 5).The present inventors have found that the index of resistance to localized corrosion, ie formation of pits or caverns, abbreviated by IRCL and defined by:
(Cr, Mo, N, Ni and Mn contents in% by weight)
gives a good account of the classification of the set of compositions containing less than 6% nickel in localized corrosion resistance (see FIGS. 3, 4 and 5).
Les coulées 14383 et 14660 hors invention, d'indices IRCL égal à 28,7 et 29,8, se comportent moins bien en corrosion qu'un acier de type AISI 304L. Les coulées 14604 et 14441, selon l'invention, d'IRCL 30,9 et 33, se comportent au moins aussi bien que l'acier de type 304L. Pour obtenir une tenue à la corrosion au moins égale à celle de la nuance AISI 304L, nous avons trouvé que les aciers selon l'invention doivent avoir de préférence un IRCL supérieur à 30,5 et de préférence supérieur à 32.
La corrosion uniforme a été caractérisée en évaluant la vitesse de corrosion par perte de masse après immersion 72 heures dans une solution d'acide sulfurique 2% portée à 40°C.Uniform corrosion was characterized by evaluating the loss of mass corrosion rate after immersion for 72 hours in a 2% sulfuric acid solution heated to 40 ° C.
La comparaison des vitesses de corrosion pour les coulées expérimentales à 2,5%Ni et 0,2%N (14441, selon l'invention, et 14660, hors invention) montre également l'effet négatif d'un teneur élevée en Mn sur la résistance à la corrosion uniforme en milieu sulfurique.
