Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a steel plate, a steel pipe for a line pipe, and a production method therefor.
- HIC Hydrogen induced cracking
- the surface layer part in the thickness direction of the steel plate is more likely to cause HIC than the center in the thickness direction of the steel plate, and thus the surface layer part is required to improve its HIC resistance.
- Patent Document 1 discloses that the HIC resistance is improved by controlling the amount of Ar gas blown into a molten steel to a predetermined level or less to thereby reduce an amount of Ar-gas uncompressed bubbles in the steel material which would form accumulation and segregation zones of MnS, Ca-Al based, and Ca-based inclusion clusters and Ti-based and Nb-based inclusions, causing the HIC.
- Patent Document 2 discloses that the HIC resistance is improved by controlling a Ca concentration in a slab within a predetermined range during manufacture of the slab and also by controlling the contents of Ca, S and O as well as the content of Ar gas in a steel material within respective predetermined ranges.
- Patent Document 1 does not consider uncompressed bubbles in a steel material of the final product, even though it has considered the decrease in the number of bubbles in the slab. Consequently, defects induced by uncompressed bubbles remaining in the steel material cannot be controlled, and HIC due to the uncompressed bubbles cannot be suppressed.
- Patent Document 2 does not consider the size of bubbles and the presence of uncompressed bubbles in a steel material, even though it has considered the decrease in the content of Ar-gas bubbles in the steel material. Thus, even in the presence of a small amount of coarse Ar bubbles, this method cannot sufficiently suppress the HIC.
- An embodiment of the present invention has been made in view of the foregoing circumstance, and thus it is a main object of the embodiment of the present invention to provide a steel plate and a steel pipe for a line pipe that have excellent hydrogen induced cracking resistance.
- the embodiments of the present invention provide a steel plate and a steel pipe for a line pipe that have excellent hydrogen induced cracking resistance, as well as a method for producing the steel plate.
- the present inventors have conducted intensive studies about the correlation between the CLR (Crack Length Ratio, a proportion [%] of the total length of cracks to the width of a test piece, a crack length ratio) of the surface layer part measured by a HIC test and internal defects in the steel plate measured by an ultrasonic flaw detection test.
- CLR Chip Length Ratio, a proportion [%] of the total length of cracks to the width of a test piece, a crack length ratio
- the excellent HIC resistance can be achieved by controlling the chemical composition of the steel plate within a predetermined range such that the contents of Ca, S and O satisfy predetermined relational expressions, and also by controlling internal defects such that the area ratio of a part that has a defect echo height of 20% or more is 0.05% or less.
- a steel plate according to an embodiment of the present invention contains, C: 0.02 to 0.15% by mass, Si: 0.02 to 0.50% by mass, Mn: 0.6 to 2.0% by mass, P: more than 0% by mass and 0.030% by mass or less, S: more than 0% by mass and 0.003% by mass or less, Al: 0.010 to 0.080% by mass, Ca: 0.0003 to 0.0060% by mass, N: 0.001 to 0.010% by mass, and O: more than 0% by mass and 0.0045% by mass or less, with the balance being iron and inevitable impurities, wherein the steel plate satisfies the following formulae (1) and (2): 3.0 ⁇ Ca / S Ca ⁇ 1.25 ⁇ S / O ⁇ 1.80 where [Ca], [S] and [O] are contents (% by mass) of Ca, S and O respectively.
- the steel plate with excellent hydrogen induced cracking resistance can be obtained.
- the C content is an element essential to ensure the strengths of a base material and a welded part.
- the C content needs to be 0.02% by mass or more.
- the C content is preferably 0.03% by mass or more, and more preferably 0.04% by mass or more.
- an extremely high C content degrades the HAZ toughness and a weldability of the steel.
- an excessive C content is more likely to form NbC or island-shaped martensite, which becomes a starting point of HIC or a fracture propagation route.
- the C content needs to be 0.15% by mass or less.
- the C content is preferably 0.12% by mass or less, and more preferably 0.10% by mass or less.
- the Si is an element that has a deoxidation function and is effective in improving the strengths of a base material and a welded part.
- the Si content is set at 0.02% by mass or more.
- the Si content is preferably 0.05% by mass or more, and more preferably 0.15% by mass or more.
- an extremely high Si content degrades the weldability and toughness of the steel.

- Ar gas needs to be blown into a molten steel, for example, in order to suppress clogging of an injection nozzle, to cause reflux for degassing in an RH, and to stir the molten steel in a tundish.
- the slab accumulation zone is a surface part of the slab, and the part that has been cooled and solidified earlier than the center at the stage of formation of the slab.
- bubbles caused by Ar gas blown thereinto during slab casting float, but are more likely to be trapped and remain in a solidified part of a curved portion.
- the bubbles remaining in the slab accumulation zone are difficult to completely compress in a rolling process, so that these bubbles are more likely to remain in the steel plate accumulation zone. Since hydrogen tend to be accumulated in the bubbles remaining in the steel plate accumulation zone, HIC may occur from the remaining bubbles as a starting point. Due to this, the HIC resistance can be improved by reducing the bubbles in the steel plate accumulation zone.
- the "slab accumulation zone” means a region of t/8 to t/4 from the surface of the slab where t is a thickness of the slab
- the "steel plate accumulation zone” means a region of t'/8 to t'/4 from the surface of a steel plate where t' is a thickness of the steel plate, which is obtained by hot-rolling the above-mentioned slab having the thickness t.

That is, it has been found that even when bubbles remain in the steel plate accumulation zone, as long as the area ratio of the part that has a defect echo height of 20% or more is 0.05% or less, the CLR of the surface layer part of the steel plate can be 10% or less, thereby the occurrence of HIC from the steel plate accumulation zone is suppressed.

By using such a slab, the steel plate with excellent HIC resistance can be produced.
- HIC since hydrogen tends to be accumulated in the bubbles remaining in the steel plate accumulation zone, HIC may occur from the remaining bubbles as a starting point. Thus, the HIC resistance can be improved by reducing the bubbles in the steel plate accumulation zone.
- the "slab accumulation zone” is a part corresponding to the "steel plate accumulation zone” of the steel plate obtained by hot-rolling, as a specific means for reducing bubbles in the steel plate accumulation zone, it is effective to reduce bubbles in the slab accumulation zone so as to the bubbles in the steel plate accumulation zone of the steel plate obtained by hot-rolling. Consequently, the HIC resistance can be improved.
- FIG. 2 shows the result obtained by examining the relationship between the CLR of the surface layer part measured by the HIC test and the number density of bubbles having a circular equivalent diameter of 0.2 mm or more in a slab accumulation zone.
- the present inventors have found that the steel plate is produced by using the slab having the number density of bubbles of 0.15 bubbles/cm 2 or less in the slab accumulation zone, the bubbles having a circular equivalent diameter of 0.2 mm or more, thereby it is possible to reduce the remaining bubbles that have remained in the rolling process without being completely compressed.
- the area ratio of the part that has a defect echo height of 20% or more can be 0.05% or less, and the CLR of the surface layer part of the steel plate can be 10% or less, thereby HIC from the steel plate accumulation zone is suppressed.

- the bubble density is calculated from the area of the observation field of view and the number of bubbles having a circular equivalent diameter of 0.2 mm or more.
- the bubbles In order to cast the slab that has the number density of bubbles of 0.15 bubbles/cm 2 or less in the slab accumulation zone, the bubbles having a circular equivalent diameter of 0.2 mm or more, it is important to control the amount of Ar gas blown into a nozzle and the diameter of the bubble when a molten steel is supplied from the tundish to a mold during a steel making process.

- the nozzle By blowing Ar gas within these ranges, the nozzle is less likely to be clogged. Furthermore, as the Ar gas flow with a large diameter is blown into the molten steel, bubbles of Ar gas are more likely to float in the mold. Consequently, the bubbles of Ar gas are easily removed from the accumulation zone, which can reduce the amount of bubbles of Ar gas trapped in the accumulation zone.
- Conditions other than those mentioned above are not particularly limited, and a steel having the above-mentioned chemical composition may be melted according to a usual steel making method to cast a slab by a continuous casting process.
