  • C is an element for forming an austenite phase and is an effective element for increasing the strength of a material by solid solution strengthening.
  • C when added excessively, easily bonds with carbide-forming elements such as Cr, which is effective for corrosion resistance at the ferrite-austenite phase boundary, thereby reducing the Cr content around the grain boundary and thus reducing the corrosion resistance, C is added in a range of more than 0% to 0.08% or less in order to maximize the corrosion resistance.
  • Si is partially added for the deoxidation effect, is an element for forming a ferrite phase and is an element which is concentrated on the ferrite phase during the annealing heat treatment. Therefore, 0.2% or more should be added to ensure a proper ferrite phase fraction.
  • the excessive addition of Si exceeding 3.0% increases the hardness of the ferrite phase drastically and thus affects the lowering of the elongation of the two-phase steel, and also makes it difficult to ensure the austenite phase for ensuring sufficient elongation.
  • Si when being added excessively, lowers the slag fluidity at the time of steelmaking and bonds with oxygen to form inclusions, thereby deteriorating the corrosion resistance. Therefore, the content of Si is limited to 0.2 to 3.0%.
  • Mn is an element that increases the deoxidizing agent and nitrogen solubility, and is an austenite phase forming element and can be used for replacing expensive Ni.
  • Mn is added in a large amount, excessive Mn is effective for solubility of nitrogen, but combines with S in the steel to form MnS, thereby deteriorating the corrosion resistance. Therefore, when its content exceeds 4%, it becomes difficult to ensure the corrosion resistance of the level of 304 steel.
  • the content of Mn is less than 2%, even if Ni, Cu, N and the like which are the austenite phase forming elements are controlled, it is difficult to ensure a proper austenite phase fraction, and the solubility of N to be added is low and thus sufficient solution of nitrogen at normal pressure cannot be obtained. Therefore, the content of Mn is limited to 2 to 4%.
  • Cr is an element for stabilizing the ferrite phase together with Si and plays a major role in ensuring the ferrite phase of the two-phase stainless steel, as well as it is an essential element for ensuring corrosion resistance.
  • the Cr content is increased, the corrosion resistance increases, but in order to maintain the phase fraction, the content of expensive Ni or other austenite phase forming elements must be increased. Accordingly, in order to ensure corrosion resistance equal to or higher than that of 304 steel while maintaining the phase fraction of the two-phase stainless steel, the content of Cr is limited to 18 to 24%.
  • Ni is an element for stabilizing the austenite phase together with Mn, Cu and N, and plays a main role in ensuring the austenite phase of the duplex stainless steel.
  • Mn and N which are other austenite phase forming elements, instead of maximally decreasing the content of expensive Ni for cost reduction, it is possible to sufficiently maintain the phase fraction balance that can be influenced by the reduction of Ni.
  • Ni is limited to 0.2 to 2.5%.
  • N is an element that contributes greatly to the stabilization of the austenite phase together with Ni in the duplex stainless steel and is one of the elements which is mostly concentrated on the austenite phase due to the high diffusion rate on the solid phase during the annealing heat treatment. Therefore, the increase of the N content can incidentally induce an increase in corrosion resistance and an increase in strength.
  • the solubility of N varies depending on the content of Mn added. When the N content exceeds 0.32% in the range of Mn of the present invention, it is difficult to stably produce steel due to generation of surface defects such as blow holes or pinholes during casting due to excessive nitrogen solubility.
  • N is added in the amount of 0.15% or more in order to ensure the corrosion resistance of the level of 304 steel. If the content of N is too low, it becomes difficult to ensure a proper phase fraction. Therefore, the content of N is limited to 0.15 to 0.32%.
  • Cu is an element for stabilizing the austenite phase together with Mn, Ni and N, and it is desirable that the content of Cu, which plays the same role as Ni, should be minimized for cost reduction. However, it is preferable to add at least 0.2% in order to ensure the stability of the austenite phase sufficient to suppress the excessive formation of the strain induced martensite phase occurring during cold processing. On the other hand, if the content of Cu exceeds 2.5%, it becomes difficult to process the product due to hot brittleness. Therefore, the content of Cu is adjusted to 0.2 to 2.5%.
  • W and Mo are optional elements for forming the austenite phase and elements for improving corrosion resistance, and are elements that promote the formation of an intermetallic compound at 700 to 1000 °C during heat treatment, resulting in deterioration of corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
  • an intermetallic compound is formed, which may lead to a rapid decrease in corrosion resistance and particularly in elongation.
  • 0.1% or more can be added in order to exhibit the effect of improving the corrosion resistance. Therefore, the content of W and Mo is limited to 0.1 to 1.0% respectively, and at least one of W and Mo is included.
  • Ti, Nb, and V are optional elements that react with nitrogen to form nitrides, and they are crystallized as TiN, NbN, and VN respectively in the molten steel and act as nucleation sites on the ferrite phase during solidification, so that sufficient solidification can proceed even when the cooling rate is increased, thereby suppressing the breakage of the slab.
  • these elements are sufficiently dissolved during the manufacturing process, i.e., reheating or hot rolling, and react with carbon and nitrogen during cooling to form carbonitride and thus inhibit the formation of Cr carbide, thereby contributing to improvement of corrosion resistance.
  • they are elements that inhibit the formation of Cr carbide in the heat affected zone during welding.
  • the present invention maintains elongation and corrosion resistance excellently by controlling the content of the alloy elements, the distribution coefficient and the phase fraction to control the stacking fault energy

  • the applicants of the present invention have found that as a result of measuring and calculating the stacking fault energies of the inventive steel by various methods, it is more accurate to predict the properties of the alloy by calculating the stacking fault energy while utilizing the content of the components of the austenite structure rather than calculating it using only the content of the components of the overall alloy composition as in formula 1.
  • the applicants of the present invention have found that for this purpose, calculating the stacking fault energy taking into account the interstitial distribution coefficient of the alloying elements rather than calculating the stacking fault energy by using only the component content of the overall alloy composition can obtain a more accurate approximation of the actually measured stacking fault energy value.
  • the applicants of the present invention measured the distribution coefficients for respective alloying elements in various annealing conditions and alloy systems by using Fe-EPMA and FE-TEM which are more accurate than EDAX analysis by conventional scanning electron microscopy. At this time, it was confirmed that the distribution coefficients for most of the measured alloying elements are not changed depending on the change of temperature at 900 to 1200 °C, which is the temperature range of hot rolling annealing or cold rolling annealing.

  • the alloying elements N and Si mean the entire components of the stainless steel.
  • V( ⁇ ) is the austenite phase fraction
  • the stacking fault energy of the austenite phase is known to control the transformation mechanism of the austenite phase.
  • the stacking fault energy of the austenite phase in the case of single-phase austenitic stainless steel represents the extent to which the externally applied plastic strain energy contributes to the strain of the austenite phase.
  • the lower the stacking fault energy the greater the degree of formation of the strain induced martensite phase that contributes to the work hardening of the steel after formation of the epsilon martensite phase on the austenite phase. If the stacking fault energy is moderate, mechanical twinning is formed in the austenite phase.
  • the strain induced martensite phase is formed at the twinning intersection, so that the applied plastic strain energy causes mechanical phase change and thus transformation from the austenite phase to martensite phase. Therefore, the stainless steel is known to form the strain induced martensite phase in a very broad range, except for difference in the mesophase (the epsilon martensite phase or the mechanical twin). Accordingly, when the stacking fault energy is less than 50 mJ/m 2 , the strain induced martensite phase is formed after the epsilon martensite phase is formed in the austenite phase, or the strain induced martensite phase is formed after the mechanical twin is formed in the austenite phase.
  • the applicants of the present invention corrected the formula as in formula 2 above, taking into account the distribution coefficients of the alloying elements distributed to the austenite phase after various manufacturing processes and heat treatments.
  • the epsilon martensite phase is first formed as the medium phase and the martensite phase is formed at the intersection of the formed epsilon martensite phases.
  • these martensite phases are rapidly formed at the beginning of the strain, and thus a phenomenon in that the elongation is lowered due to the rapid work hardening is observed.
  • the lean duplex stainless steel according to the present invention is formed as austenite phases of 45 to 75% and ferrite phases of 25 to 55% by volume fraction.
  • the fraction of the austenite phases is less than 45%, an excessive concentration phenomenon of the austenite phase forming elements in the austenite phases occurs during the annealing.
  • the austenite phases are sufficiently stabilized to suppress transformation of the strain induced martensite phase which is generated during the strain, and the amount of the austenite phase due to sufficient solid solubility of the alloying elements is increased and thus the tensile strength of the material can be also sufficiently ensured.
  • the fraction of the austenite phase is advantageously 45% or more.
  • the fraction of the austenite phase exceeds 75%, surface cracks, etc. occur during hot rolling, thereby resulting in deterioration of the hot workability and loss of properties as two-phase structure steel. Therefore, the fraction of the austenite phase is 75% or less.
  • the range of the critical strain value for strain induced martensite phase formation during the cold processing or the tensile strain is maintained at 0.1 to 0.25.
  • the amount of critical strain for strain induced martensite phase formation was measured from the inflection point of the stress-strain curve, and this usually refers to the strain value at the time of contributing to the work hardening of the martensite phases in the steel in which the strain induced martensite phase is formed.
  • a tensile test is performed at room temperature (for example, 20 to 25 °C) in a strain rate of 1.0 ⁇ 10 -3 /s using the tensile tester until the material is broken.
  • the slope change of the true strain-true stress curve obtained at this time is the work hardening rate.
  • the change in the work hardening rate is closely related to the formation of the strain induced martensite phase.

  • Fig. 4 is a schematic view illustrating the manufacturing process of the continuous casting method of the lean duplex stainless steel according to an embodiment of the present invention.
  • the lean duplex stainless steel according to one embodiment of the present invention is manufactured in a conventional continuous facility 100 in which ladle 110, tundish 120, mold 130, and a plurality of segments 140 are sequentially disposed. Additionally, the rear end of the segment 140 is further provided with a spraying mean 150 for spraying air and cooling water mixed with each other.
  • a molten steel having the above-described alloy components is prepared and moved to the ladle 110, and then temporarily stored in the tundish 120 using a shrouding nozzle 111. At this time, the molten steel temporarily stored in the tundish 120 is maintained at a temperature higher than the theoretical solidification temperature by 10 to 50 °C.
  • ⁇ T (°C.), which is the difference between the temperature of the molten steel and the theoretical solidification temperature in the tundish 120, has a lower limit of 10 °C and an upper limit of 50 °C.
  • the reason is that if ⁇ T is lower than the lower limit of 10 °C, solidification of the molten steel M can proceed in the tundish 120, thereby causing a problem in continuous casting, and if ⁇ T exceeds the upper limit of 50 °C, the solidification rate is lowered during solidification and the solidification structure is coarsened, so that solidification cracks in the continuous casting cast slab and linear defects during hot rolling are liable to occur.
  • the molten steel M is injected into the mold 130 using an immersion nozzle 121.
  • the molten steel M is passed through the mold 130 to be primarily cooled while maintaining the cooling rate of the molten steel M at 500 to 1500 °C/min.
  • the amount of cooling (primary cooling) in the mold 130 and the amount of cooling (secondary cooling) in the segment 140 during the continuous casting are reduced and thereby, during casting, the heat transfer of the cast slab S is delayed, the strength of the cast slab solidified layer is lowered, and the cast slab is bulged, resulting in the deterioration of operation and quality.
  • the molten steel M that is, the cast slab S having the solidified shell formed in the casting mold 130 is drawn into the segment 140 and thus cooled secondarily, and at this time it is necessary to spray the cooling water of 0.25 to 0.35 L/kg to the cast slab S.
  • the reason for limiting the spraying amount in the segment 140 in this way is as follows.
  • the solidified structure can be finely formed, but if the amount of the sprayed water exceeds 0.35 L/kg, since the period of time for the segregated impurities to diffuse between the solidified structures in the continuous casting process is reduced, the cast slab is present in a sigma phase, and cracks are generated on the surface of the cast slab. In addition, since not only cracks due to thermal stress but also residual stress is generated on the surface excessively, surface cracks occur during grinding of the cast slab.
  • the range of the amount of the sprayed water in the segment 140 is 0.25 to 0.35 L/kg.
  • a tertiary cooling is performed on the secondarily cooled cast slab S.
  • the tertiary cooling is carried out by spraying the cooling water of 100 to 125 L/kg ⁇ min on the entire surface of the cast slab S in the surface temperature range of the cast slab S at 1100 to 1200 °C wherein the air and cooling water are mixed so that the ratio thereof is 1.0 to 1.2 (air/cooling water), while continuing to draw into the segment 140.
  • the tertiary cooling is controlled so as to ensure a uniform scale on the surface of the cast slab S.
  • the reason for this is that in the case of the lean duplex stainless steel, since the oxidation amount in the heating furnace is very small, the lubrication effect by the scale during the hot rolling is small and thus it is very difficult to reduce surface cracks. Therefore, in order to prevent the reduction of temperature due to the contact between the roll and the steel sheet during rolling and to reduce the frictional force between the roll and the steel sheet to prevent surface cracking, a dense and thick scale should be formed on the surface of the steel sheet and a peeling should not occur easily during rolling.
  • the reason for limiting the surface temperature of the cast slab S, the amount of the cooling water, and the ratio of the cooling water to air (air/cooling water) is that if the above conditions are not satisfied, a scale having a desired level of thickness (approximately 35 ⁇ m ⁇ 2 ⁇ m) is not formed on the surface of the slab S, and the generated scale is not uniformly formed.
