Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a new duplex steel, in particular lean duplex steel, with improved notched impact strength and machinability.
  • duplex steels are of particular importance on the stainless steel market. These are increasingly displaced by duplex steels.
  • duplex steels Four main types of duplex steel are known today: standard duplex, super duplex, hyperduplex and lean duplex. The differences between these are the chemical composition as well as the different mechanical and corrosion properties.
  • Duplex steels are based on a two-phase structure composed of approximately equal proportions of a ferrite (a-iron) phase and an austenite (y-iron) phase.
  • the duplex steels are characterized by their combination of properties, the ferritic phase providing substantially high strength and stress corrosion cracking (SCC) resistance and the austenitic phase being responsible for ductility and general corrosion resistance.
  • SCC stress corrosion cracking
  • Duplex steels which are among the stainless and acid resistant steels, have existed for more than 70 years.
  • U.S. Patent 4,798,635 describes a ferritic-austenitic steel alloy having high corrosion resistance and good weldability, the steel alloy consisting essentially of the following elements:
  • the balance of this composition is iron and the usual impurities.
  • the contents of the elements are matched to one another in such a way that the ferrite content ⁇ is between 35 and 65%.
  • the alloy is particularly suitable for environments where the alloy has temperatures above 60 ° C as well as chlorides in amounts up to 1,000 ppm is exposed simultaneously, the austenite phase is resistant to cold deformation in the range between 10 and 30%.
  • This alloy was developed in the forging sector to reduce alloying costs. By saving the alloying elements nickel and molybdenum, a duplex steel with comparable strength but reduced corrosion resistance was produced.
  • the alloy is also suitable as a casting alloy.
  • WO 02/27056 A1 (EP 1 327 008 A1) deals with a ferritic-austenitic stainless steel with a microstructure consisting essentially of 35 to 65% by volume of ferrite and 35 to 65% by volume of austenite, and has a chemical composition containing by weight:
  • Mo + W / 2 optionally Mo and / or W in a total amount of not more than 1.0 (Mo + W / 2),
  • Ni eq Ni + 0.5 Mn + 30 (C + N) + 0.5 (Cu + Co).
  • the nickel and molybdenum content in the alloy should be reduced, but at the same time the desired good properties for duplex steel should be achieved.
  • duplex steel having improved notch impact strength and machinability
  • the duplex steel having the following chemical composition or consisting of:
  • a ferritic-austenitic stainless steel particularly a lean duplex steel, preferably a lean-duplex casting alloy
  • a lean-duplex casting alloy which has improved impact strength and machinability.
  • an alloy was made available according to the invention which, in addition to high strength, has a good notched impact strength even at low temperatures (for example -40 ° C.).
  • the steel alloy according to the invention exhibits good weldability.
  • the necessity and type of heat treatment after welding will depend on the chemical composition of the materials and consumables, the shape of the component, the wall thickness, the welding conditions, the strength properties, the extent of non-destructive testing and, if necessary, compliance with additional conditions.
  • the steel provided according to the invention has good corrosion resistance.
  • the Equivalent to Pitting Resistance (abbreviated as PRE: Eitting resistance equivalent), also referred to as the "effective sum" is used to estimate the corrosion resistance of a nickel-containing alloy against pitting or crevice corrosion
  • PRE Equivalent to Pitting Resistance
  • the pitting sum is calculated according to the following formula:
  • Duplex cast alloy of the present invention now has a PRE value of over 26 defined by the following formula:
  • duplex steel according to the invention has particularly good mechanical properties.
  • the steel according to the invention can preferably be used where the duplex steel is advantageous due to its properties. These are, for example, areas where high strength, good weldability, good machinability, good notched impact strength, in particular also at low temperatures play a role. Only examples are: drum coats in centrifuges or decanter construction, pressure vessels, also in the form of welded construction, rolls for the chemical industry and the paper industry.
  • alloying elements it is fundamentally to be distinguished whether they are carbide, austenite or ferrite formers, ie. H. for what purpose they are added to the steel.
  • Each alloy element gives the steel specific properties depending on its content. Multiple alloying elements may enhance the effect, but may have opposite effects and influence each other accordingly, resulting in a complex overall effect that is not readily predictable.
  • the presence of certain alloying elements in the steel only creates the prerequisite for a desired property, but only the processing and heat treatment shows the actual characteristics achieved.
  • carbon is an optional ingredient. It is an element for stabilizing the austenite phase. Carbon lowers the melting point as an alloying element in iron, and as an interstitial dissolved alloying element it increases its strength. As the carbon content increases, the formation of M 23 C 6 carbides increases, reducing ductility, toughness and corrosion resistance. Therefore, according to the invention, less than 0.070% by weight of carbon is used. less than 0.050 wt%, more preferably less than 0.030 wt%, to improve corrosion resistance.
  • Silicon which is also only an optional component of the steel alloy of the present invention, is a ferrite stabilizer and serves as a deoxidizer. It has the disadvantageous effect of accelerating the formation of brittle intermetallic phases (sigma and similar phases) at higher contents, thereby reducing the ductility of the steel. Silicon increases strength and wear resistance, increases the fluidity of molten steel, and thereby reduces surface defects in casting. At high levels of silicon, the additive increases scale resistance, acid resistance and corrosion resistance. Silicon is therefore used according to the invention in a content ⁇ 1.5% by weight, preferably ⁇ 1.0% by weight, more preferably less than 0.50% by weight, in order to improve the toughness.
  • Manganese is an austenitic stabilizer. It serves, for example, to increase the solubility of nitrogen. Manganese binds sulfur as manganese sulfides and thereby reduces the adverse influence of iron sulfide, has a deoxidizing effect during the melting of duplex stainless steels and serves to improve the hot workability of the steels. Manganese therefore has a favorable effect on forgeability and weldability. The yield strength, the strength and the wear resistance are increased by a manganese addition. Manganese increases the tensile strength and thus the load capacity. However, a large amount of manganese impairs corrosion resistance and facilitates the formation of the brittle intermetallic phases which are undesirable. Accordingly, according to the present invention, the manganese content is limited to ⁇ 1.0% by weight, more preferably less than 0.50% by weight, to improve the toughness. Manganese may also be completely absent as an optional ingredient in the steel of the present invention.
  • chrome (melting point 1920 ° C):
  • chromium is an essential element, in particular with regard to the maintenance of the corrosion resistance and for the adjustment of the ferrite-austenite ratio. Chromium has a ferrite-stabilizing effect. If the chromium content is too high, there is an increased formation of intermetallic compounds such as the sigma phase, which results in embrittlement of the material. Chromium is therefore used in the duplex steel of the present invention in the range of 21.0 to 23.0 weight percent.
  • Nickel is a cubic face centered element, and therefore acts in the
  • Range of the solution annealing temperature austenite-stabilizing austenite-stabilizing. It has a favorable effect on the toughness of the steel as it increases the stacking fault energy of the austenite. With increasing stacking fault energy, the mechanical and / or thermal transformation of austenite into martensite is made more difficult, thereby increasing the toughness of the steel.
  • Excessively high nickel contents at specified chromium and molybdenum contents increase the austenite content and thus reduce the strength.
  • the raw material price of nickel is relatively high compared to the other alloying elements and varies greatly, so that according to the invention other alloying elements are used as far as possible to replace nickel. According to the invention, therefore, a nickel content of 1.0 to 3.0 wt .-%, preferably 2.0 to 3.0 wt .-% is used.
  • Copper is also a stabilizer of the austenite phase and also has a favorable influence on the corrosion resistance, especially in acidic media. Since the solubility of copper in the ferritic phase of the duplex steel decreases rapidly at low temperatures, a copper-rich phase precipitates in the ferrite. This increases the yield strength ratio. Furthermore, copper can reduce pitting corrosion resistance. According to the invention therefore a copper content of 1.0 to 3.0 wt .-%, preferably 1.5 to 2.5 wt .-% is used. Furthermore, copper such as nickel has a positive effect on the low temperature toughness.
  • Nitrogen is an austenite former, ie it stabilizes the austenitic structural constituent. Nitrogen is usually interstitially dissolved in duplex steel, with 95% of the nitrogen being enriched in austenite. This leads to a strong lattice strain of the austenite and thus to a hardness increase of the austenitic phase and to an increase in strength of the duplex steel as a whole. This lattice strain of austenite leads to a reduction of toughness with decreasing temperature. With increasing contents of dissolved nitrogen, the resistance to perforation and crevice corrosion is also increased.
  • the nitrogen content according to the invention is 0.10 to 0.30 wt .-%, preferably 0.15 to 0.25 wt .-%.
  • Molybdenum is an optional ingredient in the duplex steel alloy of the present invention. Molybdenum serves to stabilize the ferritic phase. Molybdenum is a very large atom compared to iron. As a dissolved substitution atom, it therefore causes the yield strength and tensile strength to increase. The addition of molybdenum also improves corrosion resistance, especially in media containing chloride. Excessive levels of molybdenum lead to embrittlement of the steel during its production. Since the raw material prices for molybdenum are very high and volatile, only a low Mo content of ⁇ 0.5 wt .-% is used.
  • the steel according to the invention preferably has substantially no further added constituents but only iron and unavoidable impurities.
  • Unavoidable impurities are, for example, sulfur, phosphorus and the like.
  • the duplex stainless steel of the invention is a cost effective alternative to austenitic steels, especially in the form of a lean duplex alloy, preferably lean duplex cast alloy, which has particularly good properties, such as improved impact strength, especially at low temperatures (eg, -40 ° C) C), good machinability, high strength and good weldability without the need for post heat treatment.
  • the duplex stainless steel, particularly in the form of a cast alloy, of the present invention is particularly useful in various applications Applications advantageous where a requirement profile is present, for which the erfindungsgennäße steel is particularly suitable.
  • the invention also relates to the use of the duplex steel according to the invention in areas in which pressure and / or temperatures below 0 ° C are of importance. Particularly preferred uses are:
