Description

L'objet de l'invention est un processus de fabrication d'un acier et l'acier obtenu lors de ce processus.The object of the invention is a process for manufacturing a steel and the steel obtained during this process.

La présente invention est en rapport avec les nouvelles compositions d'aciers ayant des teneurs moyennes en carbone et faible alliage, pour des applications dans lesquelles sont exigées, en même temps, une résistance élevée et une très bonne ténacité à basses températures.The present invention is related to the novel steel compositions having average carbon and low alloy contents, for applications in which high strength and very good toughness at low temperatures are required at the same time.

Il existe de plus en plus d'applications de l'acier dans lesquelles il est demandé, en même temps, une résistance élevée et une très bonne ténacité à basses températures et dans de plus grandes sections.There are more and more steel applications in which, at the same time, high strength and toughness are required at low temperatures and in larger sections.

L'objectif essentiel de la présente invention est d'arriver à une résistance élevée et à une amélioration de cette ténacité d'une façon économique.The essential object of the present invention is to achieve high strength and improved toughness in an economical manner.

Dans l'état actuel de la technique, la combinaison d'une résistance élevée avec une bonne ténacité à basses températures est obtenue avec des aciers alliés au Cr, Ni, Mo (aciers F1252, F1272). Plus la section sera grande, plus l'alliage demandé sera grand. Les fourchettes des aciers F1252 et F1272 en % de poids sont les suivantes : F1252 F1272 C: 0.37-0.43 0.37-0.43 Si: 0.15-0.40 0.15-0.40 Mn: 0.60-0.90 0.55-0.85 Cr: 0.85-1.15 0.65-0.95 Ni: - 1.60-2.00 Mo: 0.15-0.25 0.15-0.30 P: <0.035 <0.035 S: <0.035 <0.035 In the current state of the art, the combination of high strength with good toughness at low temperatures is achieved with Cr, Ni, Mo alloy steels (F1252, F1272 steels). The larger the section, the larger the alloy required. The ranges of F1252 and F1272 steels in% by weight are as follows: F1252 F1272 VS: 0.37-0.43 0.37-0.43 Yes: 0.15-0.40 0.15-0.40 mn: 0.60-0.90 0.55-0.85 Cr: 0.85-1.15 0.65-0.95 Or: - 1.60-2.00 MB: 0.15-0.25 0.15-0.30 P: <0.035 <0.035 S: <0.035 <0.035

Avec l'acier F1252, on arrive à obtenir certaines caractéristiques mécaniques, à partir desquelles il faut passer à l'acier F1272, qui, compte tenu des niveaux de Ni employés, est un acier très cher.With F1252 steel, certain mechanical characteristics are achieved, from which it is necessary to switch to steel F1272, which, considering the levels of Ni employed, is a very expensive steel.

Les avantages que représente l'objet de cette invention résident dans l'obtention d'un acier ayant des caractéristiques mécaniques qui étaient obtenues auparavant avec des aciers plus alliés, au moyen d'un processus de fabrication concret, qui fait également l'objet de l'invention et avec de petites additions de Cr, Ni, Mo et B.The advantages of the object of this invention reside in obtaining a steel having mechanical characteristics which were previously obtained with more alloy steels, by means of a concrete manufacturing process, which is also the subject of the invention and with small additions of Cr, Ni, Mo and B.

L'acier obtenu conformément à cette invention, en ce qui concerne l'acier F1252, réussit à conserver les caractéristiques mécaniques et améliore la tenacité entre 20-40%, sur toute la courbe, de la température ambiante à -100°C.The steel obtained according to this invention, with respect to F1252 steel, succeeds in preserving the mechanical characteristics and improves the toughness between 20-40%, throughout the curve, of the ambient temperature at -100 ° C.

L'acier obtenu conformément à cette invention présente une teneur moyenne en C (0.25%-0.35% en poids), avec de petites quantités de Cr (0.30%-0.70% en poids), Ni (0.30%-1% en poids), et B (0'0010%-0'0050% en poids).The steel obtained according to this invention has an average C content (0.25% -0.35% by weight), with small amounts of Cr (0.30% -0.70% by weight), Ni (0.30% -1% by weight) , and B (0'0010% -0'0050% by weight).

En l'employant, on obtient une amélioration importante de la ténacité (entre 20-40% en ce qui concerne l'acier 1252) et une bonne trempabilité, ce qui suppose l'obtention des caractéristiques mécaniques requises, même dans le cas de sections importantes.By using it, we obtain a significant improvement in toughness (between 20-40% with regard to 1252 steel) and good quenchability, which implies obtaining the required mechanical characteristics, even in the case of sections important.

The quenching (850 ° C.-900 ° C.) and the quenching (440 ° C.-500 ° C.) are then carried out in order to obtain the desired mechanical characteristics.
