Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steel plate which can preferably be used as structural steel used in a cryogenic environment for, for example, a liquefied gas storage tank and to a method for manufacturing the steel plate.
  • the present invention relates to a steel plate which is excellent in terms of mechanical properties and, especially, deformability in the central portion in the thickness direction and to a method for manufacturing the steel plate.
  • the term "steel plate” denotes a steel plate having a thickness of 6 mm to 80 mm.
  • a steel plate which is used in a cryogenic environment for, for example, a liquefied gas storage tank is required to have not only satisfactory strength as a steel plate but also toughness at cryogenic temperatures.
  • a steel plate is used for a liquefied natural gas (LNG) storage tank
  • LNG liquefied natural gas
  • the steel material is poor in terms of low-temperature toughness, there is a risk in that it is not possible to maintain the safety of a structure used as a cryogenic storage tank. Therefore, the steel plate to be used is strongly required to have improved low-temperature toughness.
  • a Ni-containing steel plate having a retained austenite microstructure such as a 7% Ni steel plate or a 9% Ni steel plate, in which embrittlement does not occur at cryogenic temperatures, is used.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a method for stabilizing a retained austenite microstructure, which tends to be unstable at low temperatures, by decreasing the grain size of untransformed austenite and by generating lattice defects to decrease the Mf temperature.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses steel for cryogenic temperatures having an excellent CTOD property in a welded heat affected zone including a weld toe obtained by adjusting the contents of Si, Al, and N and by controlling the Fe content in residue after a simulated thermal recycle test has been performed.
  • Patent Literature 3 discloses a steel plate whose yield strength, tensile strength, and toughness at cryogenic temperatures are equal to or higher than predetermined values and which is excellent in terms of safety against fracturing and a method for manufacturing the steel plate.
  • JP 6 394835 B1 discloses a steel plate for cryogenic applications.
  • a T-shaped joint is formed around a weld zone between a bottom panel and a side panel. Since stress applied to a steel material increases with an increase in the size of the tank, the steel material is required to have satisfactory deformability in the thickness direction from the viewpoint of safety. Therefore, achieving satisfactory deformability in the central portion in the thickness direction, in which such a property tends to be particularly poor, is required.
  • the present invention has been completed in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to provide a steel plate having excellent deformability in the central portion in the thickness direction and a method for manufacturing the steel plate.
  • the present inventors diligently conducted investigations regarding the chemical composition and manufacturing method of a Ni-containing steel plate which can preferably be used as structural steel for use in a cryogenic environment and, as a result, established the following knowledge.
  • the steel plate according to the present invention contributes significantly to improving the safety of steel structures used in a cryogenic environment such as a liquefied gas storage tank, which has a significant effect on the industry.
  • the C content is effective for increasing strength, and it is necessary that the C content be 0.01% or more to realize such an effect. It is preferable that the C content be 0.03% or more.
  • the C content is set to be 0.15% or less. It is preferable that the C content be 0.10% or less.
  • Si functions as a deoxidizing agent, Si is necessary for a steel-making process.
  • Si is effective for increasing the strength of a steel plate through solid solution strengthening by forming a solid solution in steel.
  • the Si content it is necessary that the Si content be 0.01% or more.
  • the Si content is set to be 1.00% or less. It is preferable that the Si content be 0.5% or less or more preferably 0.3% or less.
  • Mn is an element which is effective for increasing strength by improving the hardenability of a steel plate. To realize such an effect, it is necessary that the Mn content be 0.10% or more. It is preferable that the Mn content be 0.40% or more. On the other hand, in the case where the Mn content is more than 2.00%, since central segregation is promoted, there is a deterioration in cryogenic toughness and percentage reduction of area in a tensile test in the thickness direction performed on the central portion in the thickness direction, and stress corrosion cracking occurs.
  • the Mn content is set to be 2.00% or less. It is preferable that the Mn content be 1.00% or less.
  • the P content is more than 0.010%, since P causes a deterioration in grain-boundary strength as a result of being segregated at grain boundaries, thereby becoming a fracture origin, there is a deterioration in percentage reduction of area in a tensile test in the thickness direction performed on the central portion in the thickness direction. Therefore, it is preferable that the P content be as small as possible, and the P content is set to be 0.010% or less.
  • the S content be as small as possible, and the S content is set to be 0.0050% or less. It is preferable that the S content be 0.0020% or less.
  • Al functions as a deoxidizing agent, Al is most commonly used in a deoxidizing process performed on molten steel.
  • Al is effective for inhibiting a deterioration in toughness by decreasing the amount of solid solution N.
  • the Al content be 0.002% or more. It is preferable that the Al content be 0.010% or more or more preferably 0.020% or more.
  • the Al content is set to be 0.100% or less. It is preferable that the Al content be 0.070% or less or more preferably 0.060% or less.
  • Ni is an element which increases the strength of a steel plate and which is significantly effective for improving the low-temperature toughness of a steel plate by stabilizing retained austenite. Since Ni is an expensive element, steel plate cost increases significantly with an increase in the Ni content. Therefore, the Ni content is set to be 10.0% or less. On the other hand, in the case where the Ni content is less than 5.0%, there is a deterioration in the strength of a steel plate, and it is not possible to form stable retained austenite at low temperatures, which results in a deterioration in the low-temperature toughness and strength of a steel plate. Therefore, the Ni content is set to be 5.0% or more. It is preferable that the Ni content be 6.0% to 9.0%.
  • N is an austenite-stabilizing element
  • N is an element which is effective for improving cryogenic toughness.
  • Nb, V, and Ti to be finely precipitated in the form of nitrides or carbonitrides, which function as trap sites of diffusive hydrogen, N is effective for inhibiting stress corrosion cracking.
  • the N content it is necessary that the N content be 0.0010% or more. It is preferable that the N content be 0.0020% or more.
  • the N content is set to be 0.0080% or less. It is preferable that the N content be 0.0060% or less.
