- HIC Hydrogen-induced cracking
- HIC is also known to have a tendency to occur in segregation zones, including a center segregation and internal cracks of a cast strip, particularly, at an inclusion such as MnS, as a starting point. For this reason, some techniques for enhancing HIC resistance have been proposed.
- Patent Document 1 discloses that a steel material has improved HIC resistance by suppressing segregation degrees of Mn, Nb, and Ti at the center in the thickness direction of a steel plate.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a method for suppressing HIC that would occur in MnS or a Ca-based acid sulfide as a starting point, by using a parameter formula that includes the contents of Ca, O and S.
- a steel plate is subjected to melting, casting, and hot-rolling, and then it undergoes an HIC test before being dispatched as a product.
- the above-mentioned steel plate cannot be dispatched as a product with excellent hydrogen-induced cracking resistance. Because of this, the steel plate needs to be manufactured again, that is, melted again to produce a product, and then the product needs to undergo the HIC test again. This increases the manufacturing time period and might possibly result in missing the deadline or the like.

- the steel plate in the present invention is a steel plate having a high hydrogen-induced cracking resistance and in which, at a stage of a slab, the slab for the steel plate has no horizontal crack or has the horizontal crack having a maximum opening thickness of a threshold value or less.
- a threshold value means a maximum opening thickness of a horizontal crack for avoids the occurrence of HIC in the steel plate obtained by rolling the slab. The maximum opening thickness is measured in advance.
- the horizontal crack is evaluated at the stage of the slab.
- the maximum opening thickness of the horizontal crack at the stage of the slab is set to be the predetermined threshold value or less, thereby making it possible to produce a steel plate with higher hydrogen-induced cracking resistance and to dispatch products at an early stage, which will be mentioned below.
- Segregation of components is present at an internal crack or center segregation zone of the slab.
- HIC segregation degree of the component becomes higher, HIC is more likely to occur, which is well known, for example, as mentioned in JP 2007-136496 A .
- segregation forms a hard microstructure such as MA (martensite-austenite constituent so-called an island-shaped martensite), perlite band, or the like.
- MA martensite-austenite constituent so-called an island-shaped martensite
- perlite band or the like.
- HIC resistance is evaluated, particularly, by taking into account the segregation degree of internal cracks.
- Internal cracks include the "horizontal crack” and "other internal cracks". These cracks are caused by the bulging between the rolls, an imbalance of cooling water, or the deformation of steel during correction.
- the "horizontal crack”, as shown in Fig. 1(a) is a crack present in a region ranging from the end to half the thickness D of the slab, i.e., D/2 in the width direction W of the slab.
- the horizontal crack is the crack that propagates in the slab width direction and the casting direction.
- “other internal cracks” as shown in Fig. 1(a) are cracks present in the slab through the entire width thereof. Such other internal cracks are cracks that propagate in the slab thickness direction and slab width direction, or in the slab thickness direction and slab casting direction.
- the "horizontal crack” extends, while the “other internal cracks” is reduced.
- the "horizontal crack” allows the HIC to easily propagate and extend, while the “other internal cracks” do not cause the HIC to propagate and extend, which is not problematic in terms of the quality.
- HIC sometimes occurs at an occurrence site of the "horizontal crack", but no HIC occurs at an occurrence site of the "other internal cracks”.
- the present invention takes into account only the "horizontal crack” among internal cracks.
- the segregation degree of the "horizontal crack” is evaluated based on the "maximum opening thickness" to be mentioned below.
- the occurrence position of the "horizontal crack” is illustrated in Fig. 1(a) , and is a crack that generates at a solid-liquid interface during solidification.
- the "horizontal crack” is accompanied by a segregation line caused by propagation of concentrated, molten steel between dendritic branches. When the degree of the propagation is significant, an opening occurs along the segregation line.
- the inventors have found that if the HIC resistance of a steel plate after rolling can be determined in advance by the use of the above-mentioned maximum opening thickness of a cast strip at a stage of a slab, i.e., after casting and before rolling, the HIC test does not need to be performed on a steel plate as a product, thereby omitting a step therefor. Consequently, products can be dispatched at an early stage.
- a slab obtained by casting is cut in the thickness direction, i.e., in the direction perpendicular to the casting direction as shown in Fig. 2 , and then is examined for a horizontal crack of a segregation zone.
- the position of occurrence of a horizontal crack tends to vary not in the casting direction, but in the slab width direction and slab thickness direction.
- a cross section perpendicular to the casting direction as an object to be examine, a part where the horizontal crack becomes worst can be examined.
- maximum opening thicknesses t1 and t2 of horizontal cracks that are present in regions R1 and R2, respectively, ranging from both ends of the slab width W to half the slab thickness, i.e., D/2 are measured.
- the maximum opening thickness t1 is a maximum opening thickness in the region R1
- the maximum opening thickness t2 is a maximum opening thickness in the region R2.
- a combination of the regions R1 and R2 will be referred to as a first range
- a region R3 shown in Fig. 2 will be referred to as a second range in some cases.
- the reason why the regions R1 and R2 are examined is as follows. That is, the horizontal crack occurs while solidification proceeds from both ends (narrow faces) toward the center in the width direction of the slab.
- the regions R1 and R2, i.e., the first range are susceptible to cooling on sides of the narrow surfaces (short sides), so that the solidification proceeds toward the center in the width direction of the slab.
- the region R3 of the width W-D, excluding D/2 from both ends in the width direction, i.e., the second region is barely susceptible to cooling on the side of the narrow surfaces (short sides), so that the solidification hardly proceeds in the width direction.
- the horizontal cracks are examined in the regions R1 and R2 as mentioned above.
- the maximum opening thicknesses t1 and t2 are defined as the maximum opening thicknesses among the thicknesses of a plurality of openings in the respective regions R1 and R2, respectively. For example, when three horizontal cracks are present in the region R1, one of the three horizontal cracks that has the largest opening is selected.
- the "maximum opening thickness t1" is defined as an opening thickness of a part of the selected horizontal crack that is opened most, i.e., a part with the largest opening thickness.
- the threshold value t ⁇ to be used for the evaluation of the HIC resistance of the slab i.e., the maximum opening thickness for avoiding the occurrence of the HIC in the steel plate obtained by rolling the slab.
- the threshold value t ⁇ is determined in advance.
- the method for determining the threshold value t ⁇ will include the following steps (i) to (iii). The details of the method will be described below.
- the HIC test is performed on the steel plate to examine the presence or absence of HIC occurrence.
- the HIC test is performed by a method specified by the National Association of Corrosion and Engineer (NACE) standard TM0284-2003, as mentioned in examples below.
- NACE National Association of Corrosion and Engineer
- the term "same casting conditions" as used herein includes i) a casting speed is constant, ii) an abnormal state in operation, such as clogging of a nozzle, does not occur, and iii) the same cooling conditions and distance between roll are applied.
- the threshold value t ⁇ the "segregation degree obtained by examining a slab” is related to the "HIC test result for a product”.
- the threshold value cannot be determined.
- the operation factors i) to iii) significantly affect the horizontal crack and center segregation, which will consequently affect the HIC resistance as well. Thus, the different operation factors lead to different HIC resistances.
- the steel plate used in the HIC test is preferably one obtained by manufacture using a slab which has been cast on the same casting conditions (operation factors) as the slab whose maximum opening thickness is examined.
- the slab whose maximum opening thickness is examined is preferably the same as the slab for the HIC test.
- HIC test it is examined whether or not HIC occurs in regions of a product (steel plate), corresponding to the regions R1 and R2 of the slab shown in Fig. 2 . As illustrated in Fig. 3 , the regions to be evaluated for the HIC resistance are varied depending on the rolling direction during the rolling using the slab shown in Fig. 2 .
- a slab width W product width W.
- the regions of the product corresponding to the "slab regions R1 and R2" are “regions R11 and R12, ranging from both ends in the width direction of the product to half the width of the product, i.e., D/2.
- the region of the product corresponding to the "slab region R3" is a "region R13 of the width W-D obtained by excluding half the width of the product, i.e., D/2 from both ends in the width direction of the product".
- the width of the slab changes from W before the rolling to Wa after the rolling, and thus the slab width w is smaller than the product width Wa, i.e., slab width W ⁇ product width Wa.
- the regions R21, R22, and R23 corresponding to the slab regions R1, R2, and R3 are determined by a rolling reduction, i.e., product width Wa/slab width W. It is confirmed whether or not HIC occurs in these regions R21 and R22.
- a "threshold value t ⁇ of the maximum opening thickness” that avoids the occurrence of HIC is determined from the "'maximum opening thicknesses t1 and t2' obtained by examination of the slab” and "the HIC test result for the product".
- the results obtained from the region of the slab and the corresponding region of the product are correlated to each other. For instance,
- the threshold value t ⁇ of the maximum opening thickness serving as the criterion of the presence or absence of HIC occurrence is determined from the above-mentioned plurality of results. Specifically, for instance, in the case (I), the maximum opening thickness t2 becomes the threshold value t ⁇ . Also, in the case (II), the maximum opening thickness t2 becomes the threshold value t ⁇ .
- the determination of the threshold value t ⁇ is preferably made by using measurement results of the horizontal cracks and their maximum opening thicknesses of a plurality of slabs, and the HIC test results thereof.
- the measurement results of the horizontal cracks and their maximum opening thicknesses of the plurality of slabs, and the HIC test results thereof can be used to obtain the threshold value t ⁇ more precisely, thereby reducing the misjudgment of the presence or absence of HIC occurrence.
- the segregation zone and the HIC resistance may be evaluated by examining one cross section of the slab or product, or alternatively by examining two or more cross sections thereof.
- a description will be given on the results obtained by examining a plurality of cross sections of the slab of the same charge with reference to Fig. 4 .
- Example 1 is an example of examining two cross sections of the slab of the same charge
- Example 2 is an example of examining three cross sections of the slab of the same charge.
- the result is obtained by examining the slab that is in conformity with API X65 Grade.
- Example 1 As shown in Fig. 4 , in Example 1, at both of the two cross sections, the maximum opening thickness is 0 mm, and no HIC occurs at a horizontal crack as a starting point in the HIC test. In Example 2, the maximum opening thicknesses of the three cross sections are 0.065 mm, 0.067 mm, and 0.066 mm, which are substantially the same thickness. At all the cross sections, HIC occurs at the horizontal cracking zones as the starting points.
- the slabs in conformity with the API X65 Grade are used for evaluation.
- a slab in another strength grade for example, a slab of API X70 Grade or higher grade does not differ from the API X65 Grade slab in formation or variations of internal cracks.
- the number of cross sections to be examined is not limited.
- the examination position (examined surface) of the slab is preferably a stationary part, but may be a non-stationary part, as shown in the examples.
- non-stationary part means a part casted when the casting condition is varied, for example, a part casted at an initial stage of casting, such as when the casting speed increases, or a part casted at the end of casting, such as when the casting speed decreases.
- a part adjacent to the region subjected to the HIC test is preferably examined. Such a part exhibits substantially the same HIC resistance as the HIC test result and can be evaluated more precisely.
- the steel plate in the present invention is a steel plate in which a slab for the steel plate has no horizontal crack or has the horizontal crack having a maximum opening thickness of the threshold value t ⁇ or less, at a stage of the slab before rolling.
- a slab for the steel plate has no horizontal crack or has the horizontal crack having a maximum opening thickness of the threshold value t ⁇ or less, at a stage of the slab before rolling.
- the "maximum opening thickness of the horizontal crack" is used to evaluate the HIC resistance. Because of this, the internal quality of the cast strip can be precisely evaluated, so that based on this evaluation result, the HIC resistance can be evaluated at the stage of the cast strip. Consequently, the HIC test that would require several weeks can be omitted, thereby significantly shortening a time period from the manufacture to dispatching.
- Tables 1-1 and 1-2 and Figs. 6 and 7 show the experimental conditions and results for determining the threshold value t ⁇ .
- 21 charges were cast to obtain each of a slab corresponding to the API X65 Grade and a slab corresponding to the API X70 Grade.

- the concentrations of C, Mn, Nb, P, and Ca were measured by an emission spectroscopy.
- the S concentration was very low and thus was difficult to measure by the emission spectroscopy. Then, the S concentration was measured by using a combustion-infrared absorption method.
- Specific Water Content whole secondary cooling water amount per unit time from directly under the mold to a final roll of a continuous casting machine l / min . / weight of cast strip production per unit time kg / min .
- the casting speed is a drawing speed of the cast strip [m/min.], and calculated from the diameter (circumferential length) and the rotational speed (the number of revolutions per unit time) of a roll (major roll) in contact with the cast strip.
- Each slab was cut at a stationary part in an entire length of 10 to 15 m, and horizontal cracks in the stationary part were then examined in the following way.
- the term "stationary part” as used herein means a part that satisfies the following conditions.
- the number of cross sections for examination of horizontal cracks is shown in Tables 1-1 or 1-2.
- the hot-rolling was performed on the slab through two or more passes.
- a surface temperature of the steel plate was set at 900°C or higher
- a cumulative rolling reduction was 40% or more at an average steel plate temperature of 1,000°C or higher, which was determined by the calculation below, and a rolling reduction per pass was 10% or more.
- another hot-rolling was performed such that the cumulative rolling reduction at a temperature of 700°C or higher and lower than 900°C was 20% or more, and that the rolling end temperature was 700°C or higher and lower than 900°C.
- quenching was performed on the rolled steel plate by reheating it to a temperature of 850°C or higher and 950°C or lower, followed by tempering at a temperature of 600 to 700°C, thereby producing a steel plate with a thickness of 40 mm. Note that both types of steel plates were not subjected to rolling in the slab width direction.
- the average steel plate temperature was determined in the following way. Specifically, based on data including a rolling pass schedule during rolling and a cooling method (water-cooling or air-cooling) between the passes, the temperature at any position of the steel plate in the thickness direction was determined by using an appropriate calculation method, such as a finite difference method. Then, the average steel plate temperature was defined as the average of the determined temperatures of the steel plate in a range from the front to back surface thereof. The definition of the "average steel plate temperature" also applied to other steel plates.
- Figs. 6 and 7 show the relationships between the "presence or absence of HIC occurrence" confirmed by the HIC test and the "'Opening Thickness of Horizontal Crack' and 'Cmax (Mn)/C 0 (Mn) '".
- Fig. 6 shows the examination results of threshold values t ⁇ at which HIC occurred in components of the steels shown in Table 1-2 and belonging to strength classes corresponding to API X65 Grade, ASME SA516 Grade 60, or ASME SA516 Grade 65.
- Fig. 7 shows the examination results of threshold values t ⁇ at which HIC occurred in the components of the steels shown in Table 1-1 or 1-2 and belonging to strength classes corresponding to API X70 Grade or ASME SA516 Grade 70.
- the threshold value t ⁇ of the maximum opening thickness was set at 0.047 mm, and thereby the determination was made as follows. When maximum opening thickness is 0.047 mm or less ( ⁇ 0.047 mm), HIC is determined not to occur. When maximum opening thickness is more than 0.047 mm (> 0.047 mm), HIC is determined to occur.
- the threshold value t ⁇ of the maximum opening thickness was set at 0.043 mm, and thereby the determination was made as follows. When maximum opening thickness is 0.043 mm or less ( ⁇ 0.043 mm), HIC is determined not to occur. When maximum opening thickness is more than 0.043 mm (> 0.043 mm), HIC is determined to occur.
- the HIC resistance of each slab as the determination target was evaluated using the threshold value t ⁇ in the following procedure.
- the steel with the component composition shown in Table 2 was melted and subjected to continuous casting, thereby producing a slab as the determination target that had a slab thickness D of 280 mm and a slab width W of 2100 mm.
- the HIC resistance was evaluated by using the slab in the following procedure.
- each slab was processed by either of two types of hot-rolling and cooling methods, denoted as "TMCP” or “QT” in a “hot-rolling and cooling method” column shown in Table 3. Consequently, steel plates (each having 9 to 90 mm in thickness ⁇ 2000 to 3500 mm in width ⁇ 12000 to 35000 mm in length) with various component compositions were produced.
- TMCP hot-rolling and cooling methods
- the "TMCP” was a method that involved: hot-rolling through two or more passes, in each of which a surface temperature of the steel plate was set at 900°C or higher, a cumulative rolling reduction was 40% or more at an average steel plate temperature of 1000°C or higher, determined by the calculation, and a rolling reduction per pass was 10% or more; and then another hot-rolling such that a cumulative rolling reduction was 20% or more at a temperature of 700°C or higher and lower than 900°C and that the surface temperature at the end of the rolling was 850°C.
- the "TMCP” method further involved: starting to cool the rolled steel plate from a cooling start surface temperature of 950°C at an average cooling rate of 10°C/s and then stopping the cooling at a temperature of 350 to 600°C, followed by air-cooling to the room temperature.
- the "QT” was a method that involved: hot-rolling such that the rolling end temperature was 850°C or higher, followed by air-cooling to the room temperature; quenching by reheating the rolled steel plate to a temperature of 850°C or higher and 950°C or lower; and tempering the steel plate at 600 to 700°C.
- the HIC test was performed using the steel plates.
- the HIC test was performed according to the method specified by the NACE standard TM0284-2003. After the HIC test, each sample was cut at three sites, and then respective cross sections (three cross sections) were observed with the microscope to confirm the presence or absence of HIC. The results are shown in Fig. 3 .
- Tables 2 and 3 show the following.
- Each of steel types Nos. 1 to 7, 10, 12, and 14 to 17 satisfied the specified component composition and had the maximum opening thickness of a horizontal crack in its slab restrained to the threshold value t ⁇ or less.
- These steel plates are the steel plates with excellent HIC resistance according to the present invention.
- a time period required from starting of casting to completion of a production of the steel plate that is, a time period until dispatching the steel plate with the sour resistance (casting ⁇ rolling ⁇ dispatching) was 19 days.
- a time period required from starting of casting to dispatching (casting ⁇ rolling ⁇ HIC test ⁇ dispatching) was 28 days, which was a long duration.
- the HIC test after the rolling was able to be omitted, which could significantly shorten the time period from starting of the casting to dispatching, e.g., from 28 days to 19 days.
- the HIC resistance can be evaluated at the stage of the slab as the cast strip without conducting the HIC test after the rolling, thereby making it possible to significantly shorten the manufacturing lead time.
- the same HIC test is used for both the determination of the threshold value t ⁇ for evaluating the HIC resistance of a slab and the confirmation of HIC.
- the determination method of the present invention has high accuracy.
