  • Examples of the causes for the bowl-shaped local corrosion include:
  • the most effective method for suppressing the above-described corrosion is subjecting the surface of steel products to heavy coating for protecting the steel products from the corrosion environment.
  • the heavy coating of crude oil tanks need considerable expense for coating or inspection because the coating area becomes large or in the corrosion environment of crude oil tanks, when heavy coating is carried out, corrosion of a damaged coating film portion is promoted on the contrary.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses corrosion resistant steel for cargo oil tanks excellent in general corrosion resistance or local corrosion resistance in which, to a steel containing C: 0.01 to 0.3 mass%, Si, Mn, P, and S are added in a proper amount, Ni: 0.05 to 3 mass% is further added, and Mo, Cu, Cr, W, Ca, Ti, Nb, V, and B are selectively added.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses that, in a dry-wet repeated environment containing H 2 S, when the Cr content exceeds 0.05 mass%, the general corrosion resistance and the pitting corrosion resistance remarkably decrease, and thus the Cr content is lower than 0.05 mass%.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a corrosion resistant steel for crude oil tanks that has excellent general corrosion resistance and local corrosion resistance and also can suppress generation of corroded products containing a solid S in which, to a steel containing C: 0.001 to 0.2 mass%, Si, Mn, P, and S are added in a proper amount and Cu: 0.01 to 1.5 mass%, A1: 0.001 to 0.3 mass%, and N: 0.001 to 0.01 mass% are added, and further at least one of Mo: 0.01 to 0.2 mass% or W: 0.01 to 0.5 mass% is added.

  • This technique aims at extending the life of a protecting coating due to an improvement of corrosion resistance of the steel product itself to achieve maintenance-free over 20 to 30 years, during which vessels are used.
  • Patent Literature 7 proposes a steel product for ballast tanks aiming at achieving maintenance free of vessels by improving corrosion resistance by adding Cr: 0.2 to 5 mass% as a corrosion-resistance improvement element to a steel containing C: 0.15 mass% or lower.
  • Patent Literature 8 proposes a method for protecting ballast tanks from corrosion in which a steel product in which Cr: 0.2 to 5 mass% is added as a corrosion-resistance improvement element to a steel containing C: 0.15 mass% or lower is used as a constituent material and a ratio of the oxygen gas concentration in the ballast tank to the value in the atmosphere is adjusted to 0.5 or lower.

  • Patent Literatures 12 and 13 aim at achieving both a crude oil corrosion environment and a seawater corrosion environment focusing on the fact that seawater is poured in the ballast tank disposed at the outside of a cargo oil tank when crude oil is not loaded. Then, with respect to the seawater corrosion environment, the corrosion resistance of the steel product itself is focused as corrosion resistance after a coating film of protecting coating of the external side of the cargo oil tank deteriorates.

  • the steel product for tankers of the invention manufactured by the above-described method using a steel base material having the above-described component composition has a feature in that the steel product for tankers of the invention is excellent not only in the corrosion resistance (general corrosion resistance, local corrosion resistance) in no-coating state but in the corrosion resistance after coating.
  • the steel product for crude oil tanks of the invention can sharply improve the local corrosion resistance and general corrosion resistance by forming a zinc primer coating film while adjusting the coating amount of a coating, such as a primer containing a metal Zn or a Zn compound (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "zinc primer") to 1.0 g/m 2 or more in terms of Zn content.
  • a coating such as a primer containing a metal Zn or a Zn compound (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "zinc primer”) to 1.0 g/m 2 or more in terms of Zn content.
  • the coating amount is preferably 10 g/m 2 or more in terms of average Zn content.
  • the coating amount is more preferably 15 g/m 2 or more.
  • the relationship between the coating film thickness of the zinc primer and the Zn content of the surface of the steel product depends on the Zn content in the zinc primer.
  • the thickness when the thickness is 10 ⁇ m or more in terms of average coating thickness, the entire surface of the steel product can be covered. Irrespective of the kind of the zinc primer, the coating amount of at least 1.0 g/m 2 or more can be secured. From the viewpoint of increasing the corrosion resistance, the upper limit of the film thickness of the zinc primer is not particularly determined. However, when the coating film becomes thick, the cutting properties or weldability decreases. Thus, cutting or welding is performed after applying the zinc primer, the film thickness of the zinc primer is preferably 100 ⁇ m or lower and more preferably 50 ⁇ m or lower. Such zinc primer coating may be performed, for example, after performing shotblasting treatment to the surface of the steel product.
  • the steel product for crude oil tanks of the invention can form an epoxy type coating film by applying an epoxy type paint or the like on a no-coating steel product surface or a steel product surface after the application of the zinc primer.
  • the local corrosion resistance and general corrosion resistance can be further improved as compared with the case of former steel products for vessels and also, particularly when used for ballast tanks or the like under a severe corrosion environment due to seawater, an effect of improving a more preferable corrosion resistance after coating, for example, coating film swelling resistance, is obtained.
  • the epoxy type coating film is not particularly limited, and various kinds of epoxy type resin can be used.
  • a modified epoxy resin, a tar epoxy resin, and the like can be used.
  • the film thickness of the epoxy type coating film is not particularly limited, and is preferably 500 ⁇ m or lower and more preferably 350 ⁇ m or lower from the viewpoint of coating cost or workability and can be selected as appropriate according to required properties.
  • a corrosion coupon 1 placed on the upper back side of the test chamber was repeatedly subjected to temperature changes for 180 days in one cycle of 30°C ⁇ 4 hours + 50°C ⁇ 4 hours through the temperature-controlled plate 3 containing a heater and a cooling system to generate dew condensation water on the surface of the coupon 1, thereby causing general corrosion.
  • the reference numeral 5 represents emission gas from the test chamber.
  • the corrosion test equipment is double-type equipment containing a corrosion test chamber 8 and a constant-temperature bath 9.
  • a test liquid 12 capable of causing the same local corrosion as that generating in the bottom plate of an actual oil tank was put, and a coupon 7 was immersed therein.
  • Used as the test liquid 12 was a liquid containing artificial seawater specified in ASTM D1141 as a test mother water, into which a mixed gas (introduced gas 10) in which the partial pressure ratio was adjusted to 5 vol% O 2 + 10 vol% H 2 S and which contained the balance N 2 gas was introduced.
  • the temperature of the test liquid 12 was held at 50°C by adjusting the temperature of the water 13 put into the constant-temperature bath 9. Since the introduced gas 10 was continuously supplied, the test liquid 12 was always stirred.
  • the reference numeral 11 represents emission gas from the test chamber.
  • the corrosion resistance test results of (1) to (3) were shown in Table 2 with the X values and the Y values determined from the component composition of each steel plate.
  • Table 2 shows that the thick steel plates of No. 1 to No. 30 satisfying the component composition of the invention and the conditions of the X value and the Y value exhibit excellent corrosion resistance higher than a target level as a ratio to a base steel product (No. 36) in all the corrosion tests of (1) to (3) and, in contrast, corrosion exceeding a target level as a ratio to the steel product of No. 36 is observed in the thick steel plates of No. 31 to No. 35 not satisfying the conditions of the invention in any one or more of the corrosion tests.
  • the steel product of the present invention can be preferably used not only in crude oil tankers but also crude oil tanks of other vessels and crude oil tanks used on the ground, for example.
