Definitions
- the present invention relates to a piercer plug which is used when using the Mannesmann process to manufacture seamless steel pipe (sometimes simply referred to as a "plug"), more particularly relates to a material for piercer plug for manufacturing seamless steel pipe which is excellent in season cracking resistance and machinability and a method of manufacturing the same.
- plants for manufacturing seamless steel pipe are increasingly dispersed and built at distant locations. Transport times are increasing etc., so from the viewpoint of obtaining inventories, piercer plugs are often stored for longer time.
- the piercer plugs or materials for piercer plug is excellent in machinability and further can be stored for a long period of time.
- the piercer plug surface suffers from cracks called "season cracking".
- season cracking easily occurs in the winter season.
- Piercer plugs suffering from "season cracking” cannot be used for manufacturing seamless steel pipe.
- PLT 1 discloses a piercer plug which is comprised of predetermined components for raising the high temperature deformation resistance plus a large amount of at least one of Mo and W added to suppress surface decarburization and form an internal oxide type scale layer on the surface.
- PLT 2 discloses a method of manufacturing a piercer plug which is comprised of a 3Ni-1Cr steel or other steel base member on the surface of which scale is formed, wherein the steel base member is fabricated by casting using conventional sand mold casting. Further, the method of manufacturing the same is described as improving the strength of the steel base member and having the effect of improving the scale.
- PLT 3 like PLT 2, discloses a base member of a piercer plug which scale is formed on surface thereof and the strength of the base member is improved and there is an effect of improving the scale.
- PLT 4 like PLT 2, discloses a piercer plug which is comprised of a base material on the surface of which a scale is formed wherein a net-like scale layer which is intertwined with the base material is formed as the layer which forms the scale layer.
- PLT 4 discloses that by the above configuration of the scale layer, peeling or wear of the scale layer is suppressed and the piercer plug can be extended in lifetime.
- PLT 5 discloses that by using a technique similar to PLT 4 so as to form a scale layer as an intergranular oxidation type scale layer, the adhesion with the base material becomes good, peeling or wear of the scale layer is suppressed, and the piercer plug can be extended in lifetime.
- a coating forming technique utilizing thermal spraying is used to form a protective coating on the surface of the piercer plug to thereby promote longer lifetime of the piercer plug.
- an object of the present invention is to solve the problem unable to be solved by the prior art of providing a material for a piercer plug which is used when manufacturing seamless steel pipe by the Mannesmann process wherein occurrence of season cracking by long term storage is suppressed, wherein machinability is also excellent, and, furthermore, and the piercer plug has the desired hardness whereby the plug body can be made longer in life.
- the present invention was made based on these discoveries and has as its gist the following:
- the present invention it is possible to provide a material for piercer plug for manufacturing seamless steel pipe which is used at the time of manufacturing seamless steel pipe by the Mannesmann process and which is in particular excellent in season cracking resistance and machinability.
- C is an effective component for improving the high temperature strength, but has no effect if the content is smaller than 0.08%. Further, if over 0.3%, the hardness becomes too high and season cracking more easily occurs. Further, control of the state of precipitation of carbides also becomes difficult. Therefore, C is made 0.08 to 0.3%. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the lower limit is preferably 0.10%, more preferably 0.12%. Further, similarly, the upper limit is preferably 0.25%, more preferably 0.20%.
- Si is an effective component for deoxidation, but the effect is small if smaller than 0.1%. If over 1.0%, the base material starts to deteriorate in toughness. Therefore, Si is made 0.1 to 1.0%. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the lower limit is preferably 0.20%, more preferably 0.30%. Further, similarly, the upper limit is preferably 0.90%, more preferably 0.80%.
- Mn stabilizes the austenite at a high temperature. That is, it suppresses the formation of ⁇ -ferrite to suppress the drop in toughness. That effect is obtained at 0.2% or more. However, if adding more than 1.5%, the hardness becomes too high and season cracking easily occurs after piercing. Therefore, Mn is made 0.2 to 1.5%. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the lower limit is preferably 0.30%, more preferably 0.40%. Further, similarly, the upper limit is preferably 1.30%, more preferably 1.00%.
- Ni has the action of improving the toughness of the quenched phase which is formed on the surface part of the plug. To obtain this effect, 0.2% or more is necessary, but the effect becomes substantially saturated at 2.0%. The above addition becomes a factor increasing the cost. Therefore, Ni is made 0.2 to 2.0%. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the lower limit is preferably 0.30%, more preferably 0.40%. Further, similarly, the upper limit is preferably 1.90%, more preferably 1.80%.
- Mo and W are both effective for improving the high temperature strength and have the effect of raising the Ac1 point to reduce the quenched part at the surface after piercing. These effects are equivalent with Mo and W.
- the effect becomes small if one or the total of both of Mo and W is less than 1.5%, so these are added to become greater than this. Further, if one or the total of both of Mo and W exceeds 8.0%, ferrite remains even at a high temperature, the strength starts to fall, and the toughness is also caused to fall. Accordingly, the total of Mo+W is made 1.5 to 8.0%.
- the lower limit is preferably 1.7%, more preferably 2.0%.
- the upper limit is preferably 7.5%, more preferably 7.0%.
- the H (hydrogen) which is contained as diffusible hydrogen in the material for piercer plug is an element which aggravates the season cracking of the piercer plug, so the content has important meaning in the present invention.
- Diffusible hydrogen is hydrogen which diffuses in the material. Hydrogen which is trapped in voids in the material etc. is not included. Further, the method of measurement of the diffusible hydrogen will be explained in the later explained examples.
- the content of diffusible hydrogen should be as small as possible. The inventors discovered that if the diffusible hydrogen is 2 ppm or less, season cracking does not occur (see Table 5). For this reason, the content of the material for piercer plug according to the present invention is given an upper limit of 2 ppm.
- the upper limit is preferably 1.5 ppm, more preferably 1.0 ppm or less.
- the steel material obtained by casting contains 7 ppm or more of diffusible hydrogen.
- the diffusible hydrogen in the material can be reduced at the time of heat treatment holding the material at a 700 to 900°C temperature range for 0.5 hour to 4 hours. Details of the dehydrogenation will be explained in the later explained method of manufacturing the same.
- Nb, V, Cr, and Ti each 1.0% or less
- Nb, V, and Ti have the effect of refining the crystal grains. However, if added over 1.0%, brittle phases precipitate and deterioration of the toughness is invited. Therefore, one or more of Nb, V, and Ti may be added in respectively 1.0% or less. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the upper limit is preferably 0.5%, more preferably 0.1%. Cr has the action of improving the toughness of the steel material and deformation resistance at a high temperature. However, from the economic viewpoint, the upper limit of the content is made 1.0%.
- Cu is an element which stabilizes austenite and has the action of improving the toughness of the surface part of the plug which becomes austenite when held at a high temperature at the time of piercing. To obtain that effect, 0.01% or more is necessary, but the effect becomes substantially saturated at 0.5%. Therefore, Cu is made 0.5% or less. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the lower limit is preferably 0.01%, more preferably 0.1%. Further, similarly, the upper limit is preferably 0.5%, more preferably 0.3%.
- the upper limit is preferably 0.05%, more preferably 0.01%.
- Ca, Mg, and REM can all be added for the purpose of desulfurization etc. In particular, this is effective for grain refinement and improves the toughness of the steel material. However, if the contents in total exceed 0.5%, brittle phases precipitate and invite a drop in toughness. Therefore, the contents of these components were made a total of 0.5% or less. If considering the variation for obtaining this effect, the upper limit is preferably 0.2%, more preferably 0.1%.
- the hardness of the material for piercer plug of the present invention is preferably HRC6 to 40. If becoming an over HRC40 high hardness, season cracking easily occurs. On the other hand, it falling under HRC6, the piercing lifetime of the piercer plug falls. That is, due to insufficient strength, the piercer plug is liable to greatly deform at the time of piercing-rolling.
- the more preferable lower limit is HRC20.
- the structure of the material for piercer plug is preferably tempered martensite and/or bainite. However, if just leaving the material for piercer plug in as-cast state, the structure will mainly become tempered martensite. By heat treatment after casting, the structure mainly becomes tempered martensite and/or bainite and the toughness can be obtained.
- the material of the piercer plug according to the present invention has a hardness of HRC6 to 40 and is characterized by having a content of diffusible hydrogen limited to 2 ppm or less and by having a structure which comprises mainly tempered martensite and/or bainite. These characteristics are built by the heat treatment conditions after casting the component materials forming the piercer plug.
- the method of manufacturing the material for piercer plug according to the present invention as shown in FIG. 1 , first smelts steel having the above predetermined composition, then casts the steel at a casting step S1 to obtain material for piercer plug. After that, at the heat treatment step S2, it performs heat treatment for adjusting the hardness and dehydrogenating the material for piercer plug.
- the heat treatment step S2 comprises heating the material for piercer plug to be heat treated up to a predetermined heat treatment temperature, holding the material for piercer plug at the heat treatment temperature for a predetermined time, and cooling the material for piercer plug after the elapse of the predetermined time.
- the heat treatment conditions will be explained from the viewpoint of the hardness of the material for piercer plug and the viewpoint of the concentration of diffusible hydrogen. Note that, in the present invention, the heat treatment temperature indicates the surface temperature of the material for piercer plug.

- the cooling rate is preferably a 1°C/min or less cooling rate.
- the cooling rate is slow and gradual cooling.
- the cooling rate is preferably 0.1°C/min or more.
- Furnace cooling can be used for gradual cooling. For example, it is possible to cool down the furnace to 480°C or less, then take out the material for piercer plug from the furnace and allow it to cool in air. Alternatively, it is possible to cool down the furnace to room temperature, then take out the material for piercer plug from the furnace.
- the natural cooling of the cooling condition 3 of Table 2 is performed from when the material for piercer plug becomes a temperature lower than 480°C, so does not affect the structure, precipitates, and hydrogen content of the material for piercer plug.
- the material for piercer plug which is adjusted by the heat treatment step S2 to a HRC6 to 40 hardness is shaped by the shaping step S3 to a material for piercer plug for manufacturing seamless steel pipe which has a predetermined shape.

After the elapse of 30 days, 16 samples (80%) were confirmed to suffer from season cracking. No season cracking was confirmed in the materials of Heat Treatment Conditions 3-1, 3-2, and 6-3. From the above, it was confirmed that season cracking was suppressed by the dehydrogenation effect according to the present invention.
- the toughness was evaluated by a Charpy impact test at 20°C. Two each test pieces were prepared by being cut from the materials for piercer plug of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4 and were tested at room temperature (20°C) by a Charpy impact test. Further, for the test for evaluation of the toughness, the Test Piece No. 24 of Table 3 was used as the material for piercer plug of Example 7. The same technique as for Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 was used for the Charpy impact test of Example 7. The results of evaluation of toughness by the Charpy impact test are shown in Table 7. Under the Heat Treatment Conditions 3-1, 3-2, 6-1, and 6-3, the results were 17 to 70J/cm 2 in level.
