Description
SA738CRB STEEL PLATE FOR NUCLEAR POWER PLANT CONTAINMENT AND MANUFACTURING METHOD
TECHNICAL FIELD
[OH The present disclosure relates to the technical field of steel smelting, and specifically relates to a SA738GrB steel plate for a nuclear power plant containment and a manufacturing method thereof
BACKGROUND
C\J 1021 Currently, nuclear energy is recognized as a clean, efficient and safe energy source. As C\I the international authoritative institution predicts, 90-300 of reactors with 1,600 megawatts will be built around the world by 2038. The nuclear power is developed rapidly. The construction of nuclear power plants in China has started in the mid-1980s and developed rapidly. As of 2017, CO there were 37 nuclear power units in operation and 19 nuclear power units under construction in
CD
the mainland, ranking first in the world. By 2020, the nuclear electricity generation capacity of China in operation and under construction will reach 88 million kilowatts, accounting for more than 5% of the total electricity' generation capacity.
[03] As the protection device of nuclear island equipment, the containment is an important part of the pressurized water reactor for the nuclear power plants, and the last safety barrier to prevent the leakage of radioactive substances. The current main type of nuclear power reactor in China is AP1000 nuclear power reactor designed by Westinghouse Electric Company, using the SA738GrB steel plate as the main material of the steel containment. The thickness of the SA738GrB steel plate is relatively high, and the requirement on the technical indicators is high.
-What's more, it is difficult to control the properties. As the requirement on the safety of the nuclear power plants in the world is improved, the requirement on the properties of die steel plate used as the steel contaiimient is also getting higher and higher. Considering the safety of the nuclear power plant containment, the length of welding seams between the parts shall be minimized. Therefore, the integration of the nuclear power reactor containment is one of the development directions. It is very difficult to increase the thickness and width while ensuring the properties.
104] Due to the combination of large thickness and large width, the ultra-wide and ultra-thick steel plate has a higher utilization rate than the steel plate in other sizes in manufacturing the nuclear power plant containment, which saves the welding workload, and improves the safety of the containment. At present, in the invention patents of the steel plate in this type, no steel plate with the thickness of 101 mm and the width of 4650 mm is obtained.
105] The Chinese patent with the publication No. of CN201811165254.3 discloses an ultra-wide and ultra-thick steel for conventional island equipment in nuclear power plants and a manufacturing method thereof The steel is composed of C: 0.10%-0.18%, Si: 0.15%-0.40%, Mn: 0.90%4.50%, P < 0.02%, S < 0.005%, Ni: 0.10%-0.30%, Cr: 0.15%-0.30%, V: 0.01%-0.05%, Nb: 0.01%-0.05%, Als: 0.015%-0.04%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The heating temperature of the continuous casting billet is 1200-1250 °C, and the residence time is 4-6 h. The initial rolling temperature in the first stage is > 1100 °C, and thc total reduction rate is > 60%. The initial rolling temperature and the final rolling temperature in the second stage are 900-950 °C and 800-850 °C, respectively. The normalizing temperature is 880-920 °C, and the holding time is 1-3 min/mm. Then, the steel plate is discharged to be cooled naturally. The steel plate as the finished product has the thickness of 60-100 mm and the width of 4000-5100 mm, which can be used for the conventional island equipment in thc nuclear power plants. The width of the steel plate in this invention patent reaches to the highest value in the current industry, but the maximum width of the steel plate with the thickness of 100 mm can only reach to 4200 mm, and the strength after normalizing is low.
[06] The Chinese patent with the publication No. of CN201510302071.1 discloses a large-thick SA738GrA steel plate and a production method thereof The steel plate is composed of the following composition in weight percentage: C: 0.14%-0.16%, Si: 0.25%-0.45%, Mn: 1.35%-1.45%, P < 0.020%, S < 0.010%, Cr: 0.15%-0.20%, Mo < 0.06%, Ti < 0.02%, Ni: 0.20%-0.30%, Cu < 0.05%, Al: 0.020%-0.050%, V < 0.07%, Nb < 0.04%, Nb +V < 0.07%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The composition and its proportion in the steel plate are optimized, so that the thickness of the SA738GrA steel plate reaches to 112 mm. The obtained steel plate meets the requirements of grade B in the ASME SA578/SA578M flaw detection standard. However, the width of the steel plate of this invention patent is unknown, the yield strength is only about 310 MPa, the low-temperature toughness is poor, and the impact energy at -46 °C is about 27 J. [7] The Chinese patent with the publication No. of CN201610058164.9 discloses a large-thick SA738GrB steel plate for nuclear island equipment and a production method thereof The steel plate is composed of the following composition in weight percentage: C: 0.05%-0.20%, Si: 0.15%-0.55%, Mn: 0.90%-1.60%, P < 0.009%, S < 0.006%, Cr < 0.30%, Mo < 0.30%, Cu < 0.35%, Ni < 0.60%, V < 0.07%, Nb < 0.04%, Ti < 0.03%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The quenching and tempering heat treatment process is adopted to form composite strengthening through microalloying elements, and the obtained steel plate has good strength and toughness. The thickness of the steel plate can reach up to 130 mm, but there is no data about the width.
