Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an alloy steel and a method for manufacturing the same, in particular an enamel steel and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • a liner is a critical component, which determines the service safety and service life of the water heater.
  • An enamel liner having a steel plate as a base slab has a number of features such as a good corrosion resistance, a high surface hardness, being smooth and easy to clean, and such an enamel liner significantly improves the service life and comprehensive performance of the water heater liner.
  • the steel plate When using a steel plate as a base slab to manufacture an enamel liner of a water heater, the steel plate first needs to undergo blanking, processing and forming and welding, is further subjected to enamelling, and finally fired under conditions of a high temperature of about 830°C.
  • the steel plate in order to satisfy the requirements of producing a high quality enamel liner, and the steel plate must meet performance requirements in various aspects of formability, strength, weldability, fish-scaling resistance, pinhole resistance, high temperature firing resistance, etc.
  • an enamel liner is generally formed by welding three parts, i.e., two end caps and a barrel body, and therefore one enamel liner generally has three welds, including two circumferential welds and one straight weld, wherein the two caps have relatively lower requirements on the formability.
  • a new type of liner appears in the prior art, wherein this new type of liner is formed by welding two parts, i.e., an upper barrel and a lower barrel, and the primary three welds are reduced to one circumferential weld in the middle; therefore, circular rolling, hole expansion and two welds are omitted in the process of processing the new type of liner, the manufacturing process being greatly simplified.
  • the reduction of welds can substantially improve the pressure-resistance of the liner.
  • the new type of liner is stamped relatively deeply, and processes of hole expansion etc. are further performed after the stamping, the requirements for the stamping property and hole expansion property of the steel plate are obviously improved.
  • cold-rolled steel plates are mainly used, where the formability is superior to that in a hot-rolled steel plate.
  • steel plates generally used for liners can meet the stamping requirements, but the hole expansion property is lower, that is to say, cracking easily occurs when hole expansion is made after deep stamping.
  • a mechanism of inhibiting abnormal growth of ferrite grains at a high temperature is lacked in the steel, grains in the welds and heat affected zones after welding severely grow abnormally, and grains after high-temperature enamelling firing also easy grow, the yield strengths of the base steel plate, welds, heat affected zones, etc.
  • the structure in a hot rolled state is ferrite with a grain diameter of 2-20 ⁇ m, and TiC particles with a diameter of not greater than 20 nm are uniformly distributed in the structure.
  • the steel plate for enamel has a higher content of element Ti and a lower content of element S.
  • the enamel steel disclosed in the Chinese patent document has a yield strength after simulated enamelling firing lower than the yield strength before the simulated enamelling firing.
  • WO 00/12773 discloses a steel for manufacturing high adherence enamel coating steel with good formability having 0.004 wt.% or less of carbon.
  • An object of the present invention lies in providing an enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability, which has an excellent formability, a good welding property and a good enamelling property.
  • the enamel steel of the present invention further has an excellent enamelling firing property, and the yield strength after high-temperature enamelling firing will be significantly improved, i.e., having a high-temperature baking hardenability.
  • the alloy addition cost of the enamel steel of the present invention is low.
  • the present invention provides an enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability, the chemical elements thereof, in mass percentage, being:
  • the inevitable impurities mainly refer to elements P and Si.
  • the content of P is higher, segregation easily occurs at the grain boundary in the steel, thereby bubbles and black spots are easily produced when enamelling firing, which thus affects the surface quality of the enamel.
  • the content of Si is higher, not only the enamel properties of the steel will be damaged, but also oxide inclusions having very poor ductility may be formed, thus damaging the plasticity of the steel.
  • elements P and Si are harmful elements, the contents of these two elements in the steel needs to be as low as possible; therefore, the content of element Si can be controlled at ⁇ 0.10wt.%, and the content of element P is controlled at ⁇ 0.035wt.%.
  • the design principle of various chemical elements of the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is: C and Ti, wherein firstly, the content of carbon in the steel greatly affects the formability and strength of the steel plate, the higher the content of carbon, the lower the plasticity, and the higher the strength, vice versa. Secondly, in addition to being present in the steel in a solid solution, carbon can further form a microstructure such as cementite or pearlite. In addition, after titanium alloy is added, carbon can further form titanium carbide compounds with titanium.
  • carbon will not form a microstructure of pearlite, but is present in a form of dispersed carbides (such as titanium carbide, cementite) or a small amount of a solid solution. Due to the substantial aggregation of cementite in the microstructure of pearlite, on the one hand, a great amount of bubbles will be formed in the process of enamelling, and on the other hand, it is not disadvantageous to improve the strength of the steel in the process of enamelling firing.
  • dispersed carbides such as titanium carbide, cementite
  • the addition amount of titanium alloy is very important. It can be seen according to calculation of the solubility product of the formation of titanium compounds that titanium first reacts with nitrogen, then reacts with sulphur, and finally reacts with carbon; therefore, in such a precipitation order, it shall be certainly ensured that a part of titanium forms titanium carbide by reacting with carbon.
  • the content of element titanium in mass percentage is excessively low, if lower than the content as defined in the relational formula, i.e., when Ti ⁇ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02, it will be very difficult to ensure that a certain quantity of titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride particles are present in the steel, such that the purpose of precipitation strengthening cannot be achieved.
  • the strength of the steel cannot be further improved. Consequently, the content of element C in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention should be controlled at 0.008-0.020 wt.%, and the content of element Ti should meet Ti ⁇ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02.
  • the content of element C is controlled in a range between 0.015-0.020 wt.%.
  • Mn Manganese is a deoxidation element in the steel, and adding such an element can control the content of oxygen in the steel. Manganese can react with sulphur to produce manganese sulphide. After adding element titanium in the steel, manganese can further form a composite inclusion with the element, such as manganese titanium sulphide. Such an inclusion is in a spherical shape, and can remarkably reduce the effect of manganese sulphide on the processability. However, when the content of manganese is excessively high, the reaction at the interface of steel and enamel will be affected in the enamelling process, such that the adherence of the enamel is damaged, and defects such as bubbles are easily produced. In view of this, the content of Mn in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is set as 0.05-0.50 wt.%.
  • the content of Mn in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is further set as 0.1-0.3 wt.%.
  • S generally, sulphur is a harmful element in the steel, this is because sulphur and manganese will form an inclusion of manganese sulphide, which may damage the transverse plasticity of the steel plate.
  • element S is not a harmful element, the content of S in the enamel steel needs to be controlled within a range between 0.021-0.035 wt.%, and it is further ensured that S ⁇ Ti ⁇ 2 ⁇ 10 -3 .
  • the reason why the content of sulphur is controlled within a range between 0.021-0.035 wt.% is that on the basis of adding titanium, sulphur and titanium will form titanium sulphide, a great amount of hydrogen storage traps will be formed around titanium sulphide particles, and as a result, defects of fish-scaling in the enamelling process are less likely produced.
  • element titanium is added in the steel, adverse effect of manganese sulphide formed in the steel on the plasticity of steel can be further reduced.
  • sulphur can form titanium sulphide with titanium or can form composite manganese titanium sulphide with titanium and manganese. By controlling the content of sulphur and ensuring S ⁇ Ti ⁇ 2 ⁇ 10 -3 , titanium sulphide may be formed in advance of manganese sulphide.
  • manganese may also form a composite inclusion of manganese titanium sulphide, the particles shape of the composite inclusion is also a spherical shape; to this end, the formation of pure plastic manganese sulphide inclusion can be avoided in the steel, thus improving the processability of the steel.
  • controlling the content of S in the enamel steel at 0.021-0.03 wt.% is a more preferred technical solution.
  • Alt or Als Aluminium is also a strong deoxidization element.
  • the content of aluminium When the content of aluminium is higher, the content of oxygen in the steel will be reduced; on the contrary, when the content of aluminium is excessively low, the content of oxygen in the steel will be improved.
  • the oxygen remaining in the steel is mainly present in a form of an oxide inclusion, which will severely damage the plasticity of the steel.
  • An appropriate amount of aluminium can reduce the content of oxygen in the steel, and thus aluminium is one of elements to be necessarily added in the steel.
  • N Nitrogen is one of inevitable residual elements in the steel. Generally, nitrogen is a solid solution element, wherein after the addition of titanium into the steel, since nitrogen is extremely easy to form a metal compound with titanium, in the steel to which titanium is added, nitrogen will be more preferential to form titanium nitride with respect to sulphur and carbon.
  • titanium nitride particles tiny holes will be formed around the particles so as to beneficial for hydrogen storage in the steel plate during the enamelling process; however, titanium nitride particles can further seriously damage the plasticity, hole expansion property and other mechanical properties of the steel plate. In addition, the titanium nitride particles also cannot improve the strength of the steel and the strength of the steel after enamelling firing.
  • the nitrogen in the steel should be as low as possible, and the content of nitrogen is controlled at 0 ⁇ N ⁇ 0.003 wt.% and meeting N ⁇ Ti ⁇ 3 ⁇ 10 -4 .
  • O Since the process of smelting of liquid steel mainly relies on reactions of carbon and oxygen, oxygen is inevitable in the steel. However, when the content of oxygen in the steel is excessively high, an oxide inclusion may be formed to affect the processability of the steel. On this basis, O in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention has to be controlled as 0 ⁇ O ⁇ 0.010 wt.%.
  • the definition of the content of titanium in mass percentage is defined by the following three constraint formulae: 1) N ⁇ Ti ⁇ 3 ⁇ 10 -4 , 2) S ⁇ Ti ⁇ 2 ⁇ 10 -3 , and 3) Ti ⁇ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02. That is to say, the addition of element Ti is restricted and limited by the contents of elements N and S in mass percentage.
  • the element C in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is present in a dispersed carbide form.

Description

    Technical Field
  • The present invention relates to an alloy steel and a method for manufacturing the same, in particular an enamel steel and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • Background Art
  • With regard to a volume type water heater, a liner is a critical component, which determines the service safety and service life of the water heater. An enamel liner having a steel plate as a base slab has a number of features such as a good corrosion resistance, a high surface hardness, being smooth and easy to clean, and such an enamel liner significantly improves the service life and comprehensive performance of the water heater liner. When using a steel plate as a base slab to manufacture an enamel liner of a water heater, the steel plate first needs to undergo blanking, processing and forming and welding, is further subjected to enamelling, and finally fired under conditions of a high temperature of about 830°C. However, in order to satisfy the requirements of producing a high quality enamel liner, and the steel plate must meet performance requirements in various aspects of formability, strength, weldability, fish-scaling resistance, pinhole resistance, high temperature firing resistance, etc.
  • Previously, an enamel liner is generally formed by welding three parts, i.e., two end caps and a barrel body, and therefore one enamel liner generally has three welds, including two circumferential welds and one straight weld, wherein the two caps have relatively lower requirements on the formability. However, a new type of liner appears in the prior art, wherein this new type of liner is formed by welding two parts, i.e., an upper barrel and a lower barrel, and the primary three welds are reduced to one circumferential weld in the middle; therefore, circular rolling, hole expansion and two welds are omitted in the process of processing the new type of liner, the manufacturing process being greatly simplified. Moreover, the reduction of welds can substantially improve the pressure-resistance of the liner. In addition, since the new type of liner is stamped relatively deeply, and processes of hole expansion etc. are further performed after the stamping, the requirements for the stamping property and hole expansion property of the steel plate are obviously improved.
  • In order to satisfy the processing requirements of the liner, cold-rolled steel plates are mainly used, where the formability is superior to that in a hot-rolled steel plate. In the prior art, steel plates generally used for liners can meet the stamping requirements, but the hole expansion property is lower, that is to say, cracking easily occurs when hole expansion is made after deep stamping. In addition, since a mechanism of inhibiting abnormal growth of ferrite grains at a high temperature is lacked in the steel, grains in the welds and heat affected zones after welding severely grow abnormally, and grains after high-temperature enamelling firing also easy grow, the yield strengths of the base steel plate, welds, heat affected zones, etc. are decreased, finally causing that cracking and water leakage very easily occur to the liner around the welds when pressurizing. In addition, due to deficiency of hydrogen storage traps in the steel, even under conditions of enamelling on a single face of the liner, fish-scaling phenomenon will often occur.

  • Summary of the Invention
  • An object of the present invention lies in providing an enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability, which has an excellent formability, a good welding property and a good enamelling property. In addition, the enamel steel of the present invention further has an excellent enamelling firing property, and the yield strength after high-temperature enamelling firing will be significantly improved, i.e., having a high-temperature baking hardenability. In addition, the alloy addition cost of the enamel steel of the present invention is low.
  • In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides an enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability, the chemical elements thereof, in mass percentage, being:
    • C: 0.008-020%;
    • Mn: 0.05-0.50%;
    • S: 0.021-0.035%;
    • Alt: 0.005-0.050% of or AlS: 0.003-0.045wt.%;
    • 0 < N < 0.003%;
    • 0 < O ≤ 0.010%;
    • and element Ti, in a mass percentage meeting N × Ti ≤ 3 × 10-4, S × Ti ≥ 2 × 10-3 and Ti ≥ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02, the balance being Fe and inevitable impurity elements.
  • In the present technical solution, the inevitable impurities mainly refer to elements P and Si. When the content of P is higher, segregation easily occurs at the grain boundary in the steel, thereby bubbles and black spots are easily produced when enamelling firing, which thus affects the surface quality of the enamel. When the content of Si is higher, not only the enamel properties of the steel will be damaged, but also oxide inclusions having very poor ductility may be formed, thus damaging the plasticity of the steel. With regard to the technical solution of the present invention, elements P and Si are harmful elements, the contents of these two elements in the steel needs to be as low as possible; therefore, the content of element Si can be controlled at ≤ 0.10wt.%, and the content of element P is controlled at ≤ 0.035wt.%.
  • The design principle of various chemical elements of the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is:
    C and Ti, wherein firstly, the content of carbon in the steel greatly affects the formability and strength of the steel plate, the higher the content of carbon, the lower the plasticity, and the higher the strength, vice versa. Secondly, in addition to being present in the steel in a solid solution, carbon can further form a microstructure such as cementite or pearlite. In addition, after titanium alloy is added, carbon can further form titanium carbide compounds with titanium.
  • In the technical solution of the invention, by controlling the content of carbon and the content of element titanium reacting with carbon, and combining the subsequent process control, carbon will not form a microstructure of pearlite, but is present in a form of dispersed carbides (such as titanium carbide, cementite) or a small amount of a solid solution. Due to the substantial aggregation of cementite in the microstructure of pearlite, on the one hand, a great amount of bubbles will be formed in the process of enamelling, and on the other hand, it is not disadvantageous to improve the strength of the steel in the process of enamelling firing. When the content of carbon is higher than 0.020 wt.%, carbon very easily forms coarser cementite, and even may produce a microstructure of pearlite; on the contrary, when the content of carbon is lower than 0.008 wt.%, not only the content of cementite in the steel is small, but also the titanium carbide formed with titanium is also very less, it being impossible to have a strengthening function, and the strength of the steel is reduced, and as a result, an effect of high-temperature baking hardenability also cannot be achieved.
  • With regard to the technical solution of the present invention, the addition amount of titanium alloy is very important. It can be seen according to calculation of the solubility product of the formation of titanium compounds that titanium first reacts with nitrogen, then reacts with sulphur, and finally reacts with carbon; therefore, in such a precipitation order, it shall be certainly ensured that a part of titanium forms titanium carbide by reacting with carbon. When the content of element titanium in mass percentage meets the relational formula: Ti ≥ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02, it can be ensured that a part of titanium reacts with carbon; in addition, by controlling the hot rolling process, cementite particles are smaller as compared to the existing cementite particles, and titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride are present in a state of fine particles so as to achieve a purpose of matrix strengthening. In addition, in the process of high-temperature enamelling firing, a part of cementite and titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride particles which are originally present in fine dispersed states will be dissolved in the subsequent heating process, but re-precipitated again in the following cooling process, and the re-precipitated particles will be finer and more dispersed, thus achieving the purpose of reaching baking hardenability by a high-temperature process. On the contrary, if the content of element titanium in mass percentage is excessively low, if lower than the content as defined in the relational formula, i.e., when Ti < 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02, it will be very difficult to ensure that a certain quantity of titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride particles are present in the steel, such that the purpose of precipitation strengthening cannot be achieved. To this end, by high-temperature firing, the strength of the steel cannot be further improved. Consequently, the content of element C in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention should be controlled at 0.008-0.020 wt.%, and the content of element Ti should meet Ti ≥ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02.
  • In addition, more preferably, the content of element C is controlled in a range between 0.015-0.020 wt.%.
  • Mn: Manganese is a deoxidation element in the steel, and adding such an element can control the content of oxygen in the steel. Manganese can react with sulphur to produce manganese sulphide. After adding element titanium in the steel, manganese can further form a composite inclusion with the element, such as manganese titanium sulphide. Such an inclusion is in a spherical shape, and can remarkably reduce the effect of manganese sulphide on the processability. However, when the content of manganese is excessively high, the reaction at the interface of steel and enamel will be affected in the enamelling process, such that the adherence of the enamel is damaged, and defects such as bubbles are easily produced. In view of this, the content of Mn in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is set as 0.05-0.50 wt.%.
  • Preferably, the content of Mn in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is further set as 0.1-0.3 wt.%.
  • S: generally, sulphur is a harmful element in the steel, this is because sulphur and manganese will form an inclusion of manganese sulphide, which may damage the transverse plasticity of the steel plate. However, in the technical solution of the present invention, element S is not a harmful element, the content of S in the enamel steel needs to be controlled within a range between 0.021-0.035 wt.%, and it is further ensured that S × Ti ≥ 2 × 10-3. The reason why the content of sulphur is controlled within a range between 0.021-0.035 wt.% is that on the basis of adding titanium, sulphur and titanium will form titanium sulphide, a great amount of hydrogen storage traps will be formed around titanium sulphide particles, and as a result, defects of fish-scaling in the enamelling process are less likely produced. In addition, after element titanium is added in the steel, adverse effect of manganese sulphide formed in the steel on the plasticity of steel can be further reduced. However, if the content of sulphur is higher than 0.035 wt.%, more titanium and manganese need to be consumed by sulphur to form sulphides, and the formed sulphide particles will be very large, such that the plasticity of the steel will be damaged. In addition, larger particle sulphides will also have a very limited effect on the improvement of the fish-scaling resistance. In addition, sulphur can form titanium sulphide with titanium or can form composite manganese titanium sulphide with titanium and manganese. By controlling the content of sulphur and ensuring S × Ti ≥ 2 × 10-3, titanium sulphide may be formed in advance of manganese sulphide. The reason lies in that the greater the product of S × Ti, the higher the formation temperature of titanium sulphide, and the shape of titanium sulphide particles is in a spherical shape, such that by controlling the heating and rolling steps in the subsequent hot rolling process, the shape and size of titanium sulphide can be further improved. Likewise, with regard to element manganese, manganese may also form a composite inclusion of manganese titanium sulphide, the particles shape of the composite inclusion is also a spherical shape; to this end, the formation of pure plastic manganese sulphide inclusion can be avoided in the steel, thus improving the processability of the steel.
  • In addition, controlling the content of S in the enamel steel at 0.021-0.03 wt.% is a more preferred technical solution.
  • Alt or Als: Aluminium is also a strong deoxidization element. When the content of aluminium is higher, the content of oxygen in the steel will be reduced; on the contrary, when the content of aluminium is excessively low, the content of oxygen in the steel will be improved. The oxygen remaining in the steel is mainly present in a form of an oxide inclusion, which will severely damage the plasticity of the steel. An appropriate amount of aluminium can reduce the content of oxygen in the steel, and thus aluminium is one of elements to be necessarily added in the steel. To this end, with regard to the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention, if Al is defined in a form of Alt (total aluminium), it is then required to control the content of Alt at 0.005-0.050 wt.%; and if Al is defined in a form of AlS (acid soluble aluminium), AlS then needs to be controlled at 0.003-0.045 wt.%.
  • N: Nitrogen is one of inevitable residual elements in the steel. Generally, nitrogen is a solid solution element, wherein after the addition of titanium into the steel, since nitrogen is extremely easy to form a metal compound with titanium, in the steel to which titanium is added, nitrogen will be more preferential to form titanium nitride with respect to sulphur and carbon. The sequence of forming titanium nitride is related to the contents of titanium and nitrogen, and this can be calculated according to the solubility product of the formation of titanium nitride, i.e., lg[Ti][N] = 5.4 - 15790/T, wherein T is the solid solution temperature of titanium nitride, the unit being K, and both Ti and N are in a content in mass percentage. The higher the contents of nitrogen and/or titanium, also the higher the content of the formed titanium nitride, and also the larger the particles. In addition, if it is required to fix 0.001 wt.% of nitrogen, 0.00343 wt.% of titanium needs to be consumed, and the mass of the titanium consumed is about 3.43 times that of nitrogen. In the processing deformation, with respect to the titanium nitride particles, tiny holes will be formed around the particles so as to beneficial for hydrogen storage in the steel plate during the enamelling process; however, titanium nitride particles can further seriously damage the plasticity, hole expansion property and other mechanical properties of the steel plate. In addition, the titanium nitride particles also cannot improve the strength of the steel and the strength of the steel after enamelling firing. To this end, in order to avoid forming a coarse titanium nitride inclusion in the steel and reduce the consumption of titanium by nitrogen, the nitrogen in the steel should be as low as possible, and the content of nitrogen is controlled at 0 < N < 0.003 wt.% and meeting N × Ti ≤ 3 × 10-4.
  • O: Since the process of smelting of liquid steel mainly relies on reactions of carbon and oxygen, oxygen is inevitable in the steel. However, when the content of oxygen in the steel is excessively high, an oxide inclusion may be formed to affect the processability of the steel. On this basis, O in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention has to be controlled as 0 < O ≤ 0.010 wt.%.
  • In the technical solution of the present invention, the definition of the content of titanium in mass percentage is defined by the following three constraint formulae: 1) N × Ti ≤ 3 × 10-4, 2) S × Ti ≥ 2 × 10-3, and 3) Ti ≥ 3.43N + 1.5S + 0.02. That is to say, the addition of element Ti is restricted and limited by the contents of elements N and S in mass percentage.
  • Since the content of carbon in the enamel steel of the present invention is low, most carbon will be fixed to form a titanium carbide compound after the addition of titanium into the steel, which results in that both the free state carbon and cementite has an extremely low content, which will greatly inhibit the production of pinhole defects in the enamelling process, thus substantially improving the service life of the enamel liner.
  • Further, the element C in the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is present in a dispersed carbide form.
  • More further, said carbide is cementite and finely granulated titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride.
  • More further, the grain diameter of said titanium carbide and titanium carbonitride particles are 10-30 µm.
  • More further, the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention further comprises at least one of 0 < Cu ≤ 0.10%, 0 < Cr ≤ 0.10%, 0 < Ni ≤ 0.10%, 0 < Mo < 0.10%, 0 < Nb ≤ 0.010%, 0 < V ≤ 0.020%, and 0 < B ≤ 0.0005%, with 0.05% ≤ 5 × Nb + Cu + V + Ni + Cr + Mo + 10 × B ≤ 0.20%.
  • The fluctuations of the contents of copper, chromium, nickel and molybdenum in the steel all will affect the enamel properties of the steel plate, particularly the adherence of the steel, and surface defects may be produced, and the strength and plasticity of the steel plate will also be affected. In order to further ensure the enamelling property, etc. of the steel plate to be stable and reliable, the addition of the elements is controlled as 0 < Cu ≤ 0.10wt.%, 0 < Cr ≤ 0.10 wt.%, 0 < Ni ≤ 0.10 wt.%, 0 < Mo ≤ 0.10 wt.%.
  • Adding any of niobium, vanadium and boron can improve the recrystallization temperature of the steel plate. Once the recrystallization temperature is improved, the hot rolling temperature for the steel plate also needs to be accordingly improved. With regard to thin steel plates, for example, steel plates having a finished product thickness of not greater than 2.5 mm, it is very difficult to achieve an excessively high final rolling temperature, and a problem of non-uniform temperatures at different parts of a strip steel will be caused, finally leading to defects of mixed grains and structure abnormality of the steel plate. In addition, although the increase of the recrystallization temperature has a certain effect on improving the strength of the enamel before the firing, it has not too much effect on the improvement of the strength of the enamel after the firing. In order to reduce the adverse effect of these addition elements on the microstructure after hot rolling, they need to be controlled within a certain range, i.e., 0 < Nb ≤ 0.010 wt.%, 0 < V ≤ 0.020 wt.%, and 0 < B ≤ 0.0005 wt.%.
  • At the same time, the above-mentioned elements, when added, further need to meet 0.05 wt.% ≤ 5 × Nb + Cu + V + Ni + Cr + Mo + 10 × B ≤ 0.20 wt.%.
  • Accordingly, the present invention further provides a manufacturing method for producing the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability as described hereinabove, comprising the steps of: a liquid iron pretreatment → smelting with a converter → refining → continuous casting → hot rolling.
  • Further, the method for manufacturing the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention further comprises steps of: acid pickling → cold rolling → annealing → temper rolling, after the hot rolling step.
  • Further, in said cold rolling step, the overall reduction ratio is controlled at greater than 70%. Further preferably, the overall reduction ratio of the cold rolling is controlled at ≥ 75%. In addition, in the cold rolling step, the roughness of the steel plate surface can also be controlled within a range of 0.4-2.0 µm by changing the roughness of the roll surface of the roller.
  • Further, in said annealing step, the annealing temperature is 650-800°C.
  • More further, in the above-mentioned hot rolling step, the heating temperature is 1100-1250°C, and the heating time is ≥ plate thickness × 1 min/mm, wherein the unit of plate thickness is mm, and the plate thickness refers to the plate thickness of a continuous casting slab.
  • In order to ensure that the microstructure in the steel is formed as uniform austenite, i.e., fully austenized, and allow the cementite or pearlite aggregated in the steel slab to be dissolved, i.e., allowing some mass points formed at a high temperature, such as titanium nitride, to be dissolved or partially dissolved, the heating temperature for the continuous casting slab is set as 1100-1250°C. Certainly, the particular heating time within the range can be adjusted according to the thickness of the steel slab, and in general, the thinner the steel slab, the shorter the heating time, the heating time being required to meet t ≥ plate thickness × 1 min/mm.
  • More further, in the above-mentioned hot rolling step, the final rolling temperature for the hot rolling is 850-930°C, and the coiling temperature for the hot rolling is 630-780°C.
  • Since in the hot rolling step, carbides previously dissolved in the continuous casting process, etc., will be re-precipitated in a compound form, the final rolling temperature in the hot rolling step needs to be reasonably controlled such that the carbide is distributed in a form of a fine dispersed state in the ferrite matrix. In view of this, the final rolling for the hot rolling of the enamel steel of the present invention is controlled to be complete within a temperature range of 850-930°C to ensure that the hot rolling is completed at not less than the recrystallization temperature, which avoids rolling in a dual phase area of austenite + ferrite, and prevents causing the defects of mixed grains and structure abnormality in the steel plate.
  • In the method for manufacturing the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention, the cementite and titanium carbide are present in a state of fine particles by controlling the process parameters of the hot rolling process so as to achieve the purpose of matrix strengthening. In addition, by controlling the heating temperature in the continuous casting step and the final rolling temperature and the coiling temperature in the hot rolling temperature, the shape and size of titanium sulphide in the steel is further improved.
  • As compared to the existing enamel steels, the yield strength of the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention after high-temperature enamelling firing will be significantly improved, thus improving the pressure-resistance of an enamel steel article and prolonging the service life.
  • The enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention has a better formability, an elongation of ≥ 39%, and a hole expansion rate of ≥ 60%, and is particularly suitable for manufacturing various complex shapes of water heater liners.
  • The enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention has a good weldability.
  • The enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention has an excellent enamelling property, and a long hydrogen permeation time (≥ 10 min) which is higher than that of a steel for double-side enamel in the prior art (≥ 8 min).
  • Since lower price alloy addition elements are used, the alloy cost of the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is low, and the manufacturing cost is also relatively economic.
  • The production process of the enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of the present invention is simple and practicable.

  • Under a condition of heat preservation at 830°C, heat treatment is used after the transverse sampling in each of Examples A1-A6 and Comparative Example B1, i.e., the steel plates are taken out after heat preservation at 830°C in a constant temperature furnace for 10 min and air-cooled to room temperature.

  • As can be seen from table 3, at room temperature, the yield strengths in Examples A1-A6 are all ≥ 197 MPa, the tensile strengths are all ≥ 315 MPa, the elongations A80 are ≥ 39%, the hole expansion rates are ≥ 70%, and the hydrogen permeation times are ≥ 12 min; and, under the condition of heat preservation at 830°C, the yield strengths in Examples A1-A6 are improved to ≥ 315 MPa, the tensile strengths are all ≥ 412 MPa, and the elongations A80 are ≥ 40%; it can be indicated therefrom that, not only the enamel steel of the present invention has a higher elongation, a longer hydrogen permeation time, and a higher hole expansion rate, but also both the yield strengths and tensile strengths in all the examples after heat preservation at 830°C for 10 min are substantially improved, which indicates that the enamel steel involved in this technical solution has a good high-temperature baking hardenability, which is beneficial for significantly improving the pressure-resistance and service life of an enamel steel article.
  • The hydrogen penetration time of the enamel steel of the present invention is ≥ 12 min. Generally, when the hydrogen penetration time is ≥ 8 min, the steel plate can meet the requirements of fish-scaling resistance for double-side enamel, that is to say, whatever type of glaze is used in actual productions, and this type of steel plate can meet the requirements of fish-scaling resistance. Since the requirements of fish-scaling resistance for double-side enamel are more rigorous than those for single-side enamel, the enamel steel of the present invention can fully meet the requirements for single-side enamel.
  • Figure 1 shows tendency graph of yield strength of an enamel steel having a high-temperature baking hardenability of Example A1 in a condition of heat preservation at 830°C over time.
  • As shown in figure 1, under the condition of heat preservation at 830°C, when the enamel steel in Example A1 has not achieved the specified heat preservation time (about 10 min), the yield strength of the enamel steel in Example A1 increases over the heat preservation time; however, after the specified heat preservation time is reached, the yield strength decreases over the heat preservation time. Nevertheless, even though the preservation time under the condition of heat preservation at 830°C is longer, the yield strength is still significantly improved with respect to the yield strength under the condition of room temperature.
  • Figure 2 shows the microstructure of the enamel steel in Example Al, and figure 3 shows the picture of the morphology of the precipitated phase in the enamel steel.
  • As shown in figures 2 and 3, the microstructure of the enamel steel in Example A1 is a uniform ferrite structure, wherein no pearlite structure and larger size cementite particles can be seen, the precipitated phase is in a fine dispersed distribution, mainly having titanium carbide or titanium carbonitride.
  • It should be noted that the examples listed above are only the specific examples of the present invention, and obviously the present invention is not limited to the above examples and can have many similar changes.
