Description

本発明は、化学プラント等、極めて優れた耐粒界腐食性が要求される環境において使用される二相ステンレス鋼板とその製造方法に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a duplex stainless steel sheet used in an environment where extremely excellent intergranular corrosion resistance is required, such as a chemical plant, and a method for producing the same.

二相ステンレス鋼は、強度と耐食性を兼ね備えた優れた材料であり、海水などのように高い濃度で塩化物が存在する環境下や、油井や化学プラントなどのように厳しい腐食を受ける環境下でも優れた耐食性を有する材料として知られている。そのため、二相ステンレス鋼は、化学プラントの中でも特に厳しい腐食を受ける尿素プラントにも使用されており、尿素生産量の増大にともない、需要が年々増加する傾向にある。   Duplex stainless steel is an excellent material that combines strength and corrosion resistance, even in environments where chlorides are present at high concentrations such as seawater, or in environments subject to severe corrosion such as oil wells or chemical plants. It is known as a material having excellent corrosion resistance. Therefore, duplex stainless steel is also used in urea plants that are subjected to particularly severe corrosion among chemical plants, and the demand tends to increase year by year as the production amount of urea increases.

二相ステンレス鋼の耐食性を向上させる方法には、合金成分を適正化する方法、介在物を制御する方法、固溶化熱処理温度と冷却速度を適正に制御する方法等を挙げることができる。例えば、二相ステンレス鋼の合金成分を適正範囲に制御する方法としては、特許文献1には、Ndを適正量添加することに加えて、Nd,P,S,AlおよびMoの含有量が所定の関係を満たすよう添加することによって、相界面におけるP,Sを効果的に補足し、さらに、σ相の生成を抑制して耐粒界腐食性を飛躍的に向上させた二相ステンレス鋼が開示されている。   Examples of methods for improving the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel include a method for optimizing alloy components, a method for controlling inclusions, and a method for appropriately controlling the solution heat treatment temperature and cooling rate. For example, as a method for controlling the alloy components of duplex stainless steel within an appropriate range, Patent Document 1 includes a predetermined amount of Nd, P, S, Al and Mo in addition to adding an appropriate amount of Nd. By adding so as to satisfy the above relationship, P and S at the phase interface are effectively supplemented, and further, the formation of σ phase is suppressed and the intergranular corrosion resistance is dramatically improved. It is disclosed.

また、介在物制御により耐食性を向上させる方法として、例えば、特許文献2には、鋼中に含まれるCa濃度を0.0005mass%以下に低減し、個々のCaO含有介在物におけるCaO濃度を40mass%以下にするとともに、全非金属介在物に占めるCaO含有介在物の個数比率を40%以下、全非金属介在物におけるCaO濃度を10mass%以下にすることで耐孔食性を向上させた二相ステンレス鋼が開示されている。   As a method for improving corrosion resistance by inclusion control, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses that the Ca concentration contained in steel is reduced to 0.0005 mass% or less, and the CaO concentration in individual CaO-containing inclusions is 40 mass%. Duplex stainless steel with improved pitting corrosion resistance by reducing the number ratio of CaO-containing inclusions to all nonmetallic inclusions to 40% or less and the CaO concentration in all nonmetallic inclusions to 10 mass% or less. Steel is disclosed.

また、固溶化熱処理温度と冷却速度を適正に制御する方法として、例えば、特許文献3には、連続鋳造にて製造したスラブを1100℃〜1300℃の範囲で2時間以上加熱した後、熱間圧延し、その後1050℃以上1300℃未満の範囲で固溶化熱処理を実施し、直ちに3℃/s以上で冷却をすることで、σ相の生成を抑制し、耐孔食性を向上した二相ステンレス鋼を得る方法が、また、特許文献4には、1100℃以上の温度で鍛造または圧延後、直ちに冷却速度100℃/分以上で800℃以下まで急冷してフェライト相内に炭窒化物を析出させた後、固溶化熱処理温度950〜1100℃に加熱し、急冷することで耐食性に優れた二相系ステンレス鋼を得る方法が開示されている。   In addition, as a method for appropriately controlling the solution heat treatment temperature and the cooling rate, for example, in Patent Document 3, a slab manufactured by continuous casting is heated in the range of 1100 ° C. to 1300 ° C. for 2 hours or more, and then hot. Duplex stainless steel that has been rolled and subsequently subjected to solution heat treatment in the range of 1050 ° C. or higher and lower than 1300 ° C. and immediately cooled at 3 ° C./s or higher to suppress the formation of σ phase and improve pitting corrosion resistance. A method for obtaining steel is also disclosed in Patent Document 4. After forging or rolling at a temperature of 1100 ° C. or higher, immediately cooling to a cooling rate of 100 ° C./min to 800 ° C. or less to precipitate carbonitride in the ferrite phase Then, a method of obtaining a duplex stainless steel having excellent corrosion resistance by heating to a solution heat treatment temperature of 950 to 1100 ° C. and quenching is disclosed.

しかしながら、上記の特許文献1に開示の技術のように、合金成分を適正化する方法では、Ndのような高価な元素を添加することが多く、原料コストの増加を伴うことが多い。また、特許文献2に開示の技術のように、介在物を制御する方法では、耐孔食性は向上できるが、耐粒界腐食性をも向上することはできない。また、特許文献3や特許文献4に開示の技術は、開示された熱処理条件や冷却条件で二相ステンレス鋼板を製造し、σ相や炭化物、窒化物が観察されないようにしても、依然として耐食性に劣る場合があった。   However, in the method of optimizing the alloy components as in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1 above, an expensive element such as Nd is often added, which is often accompanied by an increase in raw material cost. Moreover, in the method of controlling inclusions as in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 2, the pitting corrosion resistance can be improved, but the intergranular corrosion resistance cannot be improved. Moreover, even if the technology disclosed in Patent Document 3 and Patent Document 4 manufactures a duplex stainless steel sheet under the disclosed heat treatment conditions and cooling conditions, and no σ phase, carbide, or nitride is observed, it is still resistant to corrosion. In some cases, it was inferior.

本発明は、従来技術が抱える上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、高価な合金元素を添加することなく、耐粒界腐食性に優れる二相ステンレス鋼板を安価に提供するとともに、その有利な製造方法を提案することにある。   The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art, and the object thereof is to provide a duplex stainless steel sheet excellent in intergranular corrosion resistance at low cost without adding an expensive alloy element. At the same time, an advantageous manufacturing method is proposed.

発明者らは、上記課題の解決に向けて、二相ステンレス鋼板に施す固溶化熱処理条件が、α/γ相界面(粒界)近傍の成分濃度分布に及ぼす影響に着目して鋭意検討を重ねた。その結果、耐粒界腐食性に劣る二相ステンレス鋼板は、α/γ相界面のγ相側にCr濃度の低い領域が存在しており、これが、耐粒界腐食性を低下させている原因であること、そして、そのCrが欠乏した領域の生成を防止するためには、二相ステンレス鋼板に施す固溶化熱処理における焼鈍温度および冷却速度を適正化することが有効であることを見出し、本発明を開発するに至った。   In order to solve the above problems, the inventors have made extensive studies focusing on the effect of the solution heat treatment conditions applied to the duplex stainless steel sheet on the component concentration distribution near the α / γ phase interface (grain boundary). It was. As a result, the duplex stainless steel sheet inferior in intergranular corrosion resistance has a region with a low Cr concentration on the γ phase side of the α / γ phase interface, which is the cause of decreasing intergranular corrosion resistance. In order to prevent the formation of the Cr-deficient region, it has been found effective to optimize the annealing temperature and cooling rate in the solution heat treatment applied to the duplex stainless steel sheet. Invented the invention.

まず、本発明の基本的な技術思想について説明する。
前述したように、同一成分で、かつ、図1に示した写真のように、α/γ相界面(結晶粒界)や結晶粒内にσ相や炭化物、窒化物等の析出物が全く観察されない二相ステンレス鋼板においても、粒界腐食試験における腐食速度に大きな差異が生じることが多々認められた。
そこで、発明者らは、上記耐粒界腐食性の差は、粒界近傍における何らかの成分濃度の差異によるものと考え、α/γ相界面近傍の成分分析を行った。具体的には、耐粒界腐食性に劣る二相ステンレス鋼板と耐粒界腐食性が良好な二相ステンレス鋼板から試料を採取し、圧延方向に垂直な断面を観察面とする透過電子顕微鏡(TEM)用の試料を作製し、TEMに付属のエネルギー分散X線分光分析(EDX分析)装置を用いて、α/γ相界面を基準にし、α相側およびγ相側に、それぞれ60nm間隔で点分析を行った。
First, the basic technical idea of the present invention will be described.
As described above, precipitates such as σ phase, carbide, nitride, etc. are completely observed in the same component and in the α / γ phase interface (grain boundary) and in the crystal grains as shown in the photograph in FIG. It was often found that even in the duplex stainless steel sheet that was not used, a large difference in the corrosion rate in the intergranular corrosion test occurred.
Therefore, the inventors considered that the difference in intergranular corrosion resistance was due to a difference in some component concentration in the vicinity of the grain boundary, and conducted component analysis in the vicinity of the α / γ phase interface. Specifically, samples were taken from a duplex stainless steel sheet with poor intergranular corrosion resistance and a duplex stainless steel sheet with good intergranular corrosion resistance, and a transmission electron microscope with a cross section perpendicular to the rolling direction as the observation surface ( TEM) sample is prepared, and using the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic analysis (EDX analysis) apparatus attached to the TEM, the α / γ phase interface is used as a reference, and the α phase side and the γ phase side are respectively spaced by 60 nm. Point analysis was performed.

その結果、耐粒界腐食性が良好な二相ステンレス鋼板では、図2に示したように、α/γ相界面に対してγ相側のα/γ相界面近傍にはCr濃度分布に大きな変動は認められなかったが、耐粒界腐食性に劣る二相ステンレス鋼板では、図3に示したように、α/γ相界面に対してγ相側のα/γ相界面近傍には、γ相の内部よりCr濃度の低い領域(以降、本発明では、この領域を「Cr欠乏領域」という)が存在しており、これが、耐粒界腐食性を低下させている原因であること、特に、上記のα/γ相界面近傍のCr欠乏領域の最低Cr濃度と、上記Cr欠乏領域が存在するγ相内部の平均Cr濃度の差が、1.5mass%以上になると、耐粒界腐食性が大きく低下することが明らかとなった。なお、この「Cr欠乏領域」は、クロム炭化物の形成を伴わないことから、従来から知られている「Cr欠乏層」とは全く異なるものである。   As a result, in the duplex stainless steel sheet having good intergranular corrosion resistance, as shown in FIG. 2, the Cr concentration distribution is large in the vicinity of the α / γ phase interface on the γ phase side with respect to the α / γ phase interface. In the duplex stainless steel sheet inferior in intergranular corrosion resistance, as shown in FIG. 3, in the vicinity of the α / γ phase interface on the γ phase side relative to the α / γ phase interface, There is a region where the Cr concentration is lower than the inside of the γ phase (hereinafter, this region is referred to as “Cr-deficient region” in the present invention), and this is the cause of reducing the intergranular corrosion resistance, In particular, when the difference between the minimum Cr concentration in the Cr-deficient region near the α / γ phase interface and the average Cr concentration in the γ-phase in which the Cr-deficient region exists is 1.5 mass% or more, the intergranular corrosion resistance It became clear that the nature decreased greatly. The “Cr-deficient region” is completely different from the conventionally known “Cr-deficient layer” because it does not involve the formation of chromium carbide.

そこで、上記Cr欠乏領域が形成される原因を究明するため、耐粒界腐食性に劣る二相ステンレス鋼板と耐粒界腐食性が良好な二相ステンレス鋼板の製造履歴を詳細に調査した。その結果、両鋼板の間には、固溶化熱処理における焼鈍温度や冷却速度に違いがあり、特に、Cr欠乏領域が認められた鋼板は、Cr欠乏領域が認めらないあるいは軽度であった鋼板と比較して、冷却速度が遅い傾向があることがわかった。   Therefore, in order to investigate the cause of the formation of the Cr-deficient region, the production history of a duplex stainless steel sheet with poor intergranular corrosion resistance and a duplex stainless steel sheet with good intergranular corrosion resistance was investigated in detail. As a result, there is a difference in the annealing temperature and cooling rate in the solution heat treatment between the two steel plates. In particular, the steel plate in which the Cr-deficient region is recognized is the steel plate in which the Cr-deficient region is not recognized or mild In comparison, it was found that the cooling rate tends to be slow.

以上の結果から、発明者らは、上記Cr欠乏領域が形成されるメカニズムについて、以下のように推定している。
固溶化熱処理において二相域の温度に加熱した二相ステンレス鋼を冷却すると、フェライト相(α相)とオーステナイト相(γ相)は、それぞれ平衡状態における相比になろうとしてα/γ相界面(粒界)が移動すると同時に、α相中およびγ相中のCr濃度も平衡濃度になろうとしてCrの拡散が起こる。
本発明の成分組成を有する二相ステンレス鋼の場合、状態図上では、固溶化熱処理温度から低下するほど、γ相の比率が増加し、平衡Cr濃度は低下する。そのため、本発明の二相ステンレス鋼は、固溶化熱処理温度からの冷却中に、α/γ相界面がα相側に移動してγ相の領域が拡大するとともに、新たにγ相となった領域は、従来からあるγ相と比較してのCr濃度が低くなる。
From the above results, the inventors estimate the mechanism by which the Cr-depleted region is formed as follows.
When the duplex stainless steel heated to a temperature in the two-phase region is cooled in the solution heat treatment, the ferrite phase (α phase) and the austenite phase (γ phase) become α / γ phase interfaces in an attempt to reach the phase ratio in the equilibrium state. Simultaneously with the movement of the (grain boundaries), Cr diffusion in the α phase and the γ phase tends to reach an equilibrium concentration.
In the case of the duplex stainless steel having the composition of the present invention, on the phase diagram, the proportion of the γ phase increases and the equilibrium Cr concentration decreases as the temperature decreases from the solution heat treatment temperature. Therefore, during the cooling from the solution heat treatment temperature, the duplex stainless steel of the present invention moved to the α phase side and the region of the γ phase expanded and became a new γ phase. In the region, the Cr concentration is lower than that of the conventional γ phase.

ここで、上記の冷却速度が遅く、Crの拡散時間が十分に確保できる場合には、Cr濃度が低い領域にCrが供給されて、上記Cr濃度の低い領域は解消される。しかし、固溶化熱処理において通常行われているような緩速冷却では、上記のようなCr拡散によるCr濃度の均一化効果を期待することはできないため、局所的な「Cr欠乏領域」が残存してしまう。そこで、本発明は、固溶化熱処理温度から急速冷却し、冷却中におけるα/γ相界面の移動を防止することで、「Cr欠乏領域」の形成を抑止することとした。
本発明は、上記の新規な知見に、さらに検討を加えてなされたものである。
Here, when the cooling rate is slow and a sufficient Cr diffusion time can be secured, Cr is supplied to a region having a low Cr concentration, and the region having a low Cr concentration is eliminated. However, in the slow cooling that is normally performed in the solution heat treatment, it is not possible to expect the effect of uniforming the Cr concentration by the Cr diffusion as described above, so a local “Cr deficient region” remains. End up. Therefore, in the present invention, the formation of the “Cr-deficient region” is suppressed by rapidly cooling from the solution heat treatment temperature and preventing the movement of the α / γ phase interface during the cooling.
The present invention has been made by further studying the above-described novel findings.

次に、本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板が有すべき成分組成について説明する。
C:0.05mass%以下
Cは、Crとクロム炭化物を形成し、耐食性の向上に必要なCrの濃度を低下させ、いわゆる「Cr欠乏層」を生成させる元素であるので、できる限り低減するのが望ましい。しかし、Cの過度の低減は、鋼の強度低下を招いたり、製造コストの上昇を招いたりする。よって、Cの含有量は0.05mass%以下とする。好ましくは0.005〜0.040mass%、より好ましくは0.010〜0.035mass%の範囲である。
Next, the component composition that the duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention should have will be described.
C: 0.05 mass% or less C is an element that forms Cr and chromium carbide, lowers the concentration of Cr necessary for improving corrosion resistance, and generates a so-called “Cr-deficient layer”. Is desirable. However, excessive reduction of C causes a decrease in steel strength or an increase in manufacturing cost. Therefore, the C content is 0.05 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.005-0.040 mass%, More preferably, it is the range of 0.010-0.035 mass%.

Si:0.10〜1.00mass%
Siは、脱酸材として添加される元素であり、0.10mass%以上含有させる必要がある。しかし、Siの過剰添加は、上記効果が飽和する他、延性の低下や強度の上昇を招き、さらには、σ相やχ相などの金属間化合物の析出を助長して耐食性を低下させる。よって、Siの含有量は0.10〜1.00mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.15〜0.75mass%、より好ましくは0.20〜0.60mass%の範囲である。
Si: 0.10 to 1.00 mass%
Si is an element added as a deoxidizing material and needs to be contained in an amount of 0.10 mass% or more. However, excessive addition of Si not only saturates the above effects, but also reduces ductility and strength, and further promotes precipitation of intermetallic compounds such as σ phase and χ phase, thereby reducing corrosion resistance. Therefore, the Si content is in the range of 0.10 to 1.00 mass%. Preferably it is 0.15-0.75 mass%, More preferably, it is the range of 0.20-0.60 mass%.

Mn:0.3〜2.0mass%
Mnは、オーステナイト生成元素であり、同じオーステナイト生成元素である高価なNiの代替となり得るものであるので、0.3mass%以上添加する。しかし、過度の添加は、耐食性を低下させるσ相やχ相などの金属間化合物の析出を促進するので、上限は2.0mass%とする。好ましくは0.4〜1.5mass%、より好ましくは0.5〜1.2mass%の範囲である。
Mn: 0.3 to 2.0 mass%
Mn is an austenite-forming element and can be an alternative to expensive Ni, which is the same austenite-forming element, so 0.3 mass% or more is added. However, excessive addition promotes the precipitation of intermetallic compounds such as σ phase and χ phase that lower the corrosion resistance, so the upper limit is made 2.0 mass%. Preferably it is 0.4-1.5 mass%, More preferably, it is the range of 0.5-1.2 mass%.

P:0.010〜0.050mass%
Pは、不可避的に混入してくる不純物元素であり、結晶粒界に偏析し易く、耐食性や熱間加工性を低下させるので、できる限り低減するのが望ましい。しかし、Pは、耐粒界腐食性を大きく低下させるBと競合して粒界に偏析するため、一定量のPを含有させることで、Bの粒界への偏析を軽減することができる。また、一定量のPを粒界に偏析させることで、冷却中の相比変化によるα/γ相界面の移動が抑制されるので、Cr欠乏領域の形成を抑制する効果もある。上記の効果は、0.010mass%以上の添加で得られる。しかし、0.050mass%を超える添加は、耐粒界腐食性を著しく低下させる。よって、Pの含有量は0.010〜0.050mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.015〜0.040mass%の範囲である。
P: 0.010-0.050 mass%
P is an impurity element that is inevitably mixed in, and is easily segregated at the crystal grain boundaries, and lowers corrosion resistance and hot workability, so it is desirable to reduce it as much as possible. However, P competes with B, which greatly reduces intergranular corrosion resistance, and segregates at the grain boundary. Therefore, by containing a certain amount of P, segregation of B to the grain boundary can be reduced. In addition, since a certain amount of P is segregated at the grain boundaries, the movement of the α / γ phase interface due to the change in the phase ratio during cooling is suppressed, so there is also an effect of suppressing the formation of the Cr-deficient region. Said effect is acquired by addition of 0.010 mass% or more. However, addition exceeding 0.050 mass% significantly reduces the intergranular corrosion resistance. Therefore, the P content is in the range of 0.010 to 0.050 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.015-0.040 mass%.

S:0.0001〜0.02mass%
Sは、Pと同様、不可避的に混入してくる不純物元素であり、結晶粒界に偏析し易く、耐食性や熱間加工性を低下させるので、上限を0.02mass%とする。しかし、Sは、Pと同様、一定量を含有させることで、冷却中のα/γ相界面の移動を抑制し、Cr欠乏領域の生成を抑止する効果がある。そこで、本発明では、Sの含有量は0.0001〜0.02mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.0003〜0.01mass%の範囲である。
S: 0.0001 to 0.02 mass%
S, like P, is an impurity element that is inevitably mixed in, and is easily segregated at the crystal grain boundaries, and lowers corrosion resistance and hot workability. Therefore, the upper limit is set to 0.02 mass%. However, S, like P, has the effect of suppressing the movement of the α / γ phase interface during cooling and suppressing the generation of Cr-deficient regions by containing a certain amount. Therefore, in the present invention, the S content is in the range of 0.0001 to 0.02 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.0003-0.01 mass%.

Al:0.001〜0.05mass%
Alは、強力な脱酸材であり、0.001mass%以上添加する必要がある。しかし、0.05mass%を超えて添加しても、その効果が飽和するだけでなく、鋼板の表面品質(外観)や耐食性に悪影響を及ぼす巨大介在物の形成を助長し、さらには、Nと結合してAlNを形成し、耐食性に有効なNを低減する。よって、Alは0.001〜0.05mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.005〜0.04mass%の範囲である。
Al: 0.001 to 0.05 mass%
Al is a strong deoxidizing material, and it is necessary to add 0.001 mass% or more.

However, when added in excess of 27 mass%, formation of intermetallic compounds such as σ phase and χ phase is promoted, and the corrosion resistance is reduced. Further, Cr is a ferrite-forming element, and excessive addition makes it difficult to maintain a two-phase structure. Therefore, the Cr content is in the range of 20 to 27 mass%.

B:0.0001〜0.001mass%
Bは、熱間加工性の向上に極めて有効な元素であり、上記効果は極微量の添加でも得られる。しかし、Bは、粒界に偏析し、耐粒界腐食性を大きく低下させる元素でもある。よって、Bの含有量は0.0001〜0.001mass%の範囲とする。
B: 0.0001 to 0.001 mass%
B is an extremely effective element for improving hot workability, and the above effect can be obtained even by adding a very small amount. However, B is also an element that segregates at grain boundaries and greatly reduces intergranular corrosion resistance. Therefore, the B content is in the range of 0.0001 to 0.001 mass%.

Ca:0.0006〜0.01mass%
Caは、熱間加工性に有害なSと結合してCaSを形成し、熱間加工性を改善するのに有効な元素であり、上記効果を得るためには0.0006mass%以上含有させる必要がある。しかし、0.01mass%を超える添加は、CaOを含有する介在物を形成し、かえって耐食性を低下させる。よって、Caは0.0006〜0.01mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.0007〜0.005mass%の範囲である。

次に、本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板の製造方法について説明する。
本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板(熱延鋼板、冷延鋼板)は、従来公知の方法・条件で製造すればよく、特に制限はない。例えば、電気炉や転炉等で鋼を溶製し、二次精錬して上述した成分組成の鋼に調整した後、連続鋳造法あるいは造塊−分解圧延法で鋼素材(スラブ)とする。次いで、熱延鋼板は、上記スラブを再加熱し、熱間圧延し、固溶化熱処理を施した後、酸洗して製品板とする。一方、冷延鋼板は、上記スラブを再加熱し、熱間圧延し、必要に応じて適宜の条件で熱処理を施し、酸洗して熱延焼鈍板とし、さらに、上記熱延焼鈍板を冷間圧延し、固溶化熱処理を施した後、酸洗して製品板とする。
Next, the manufacturing method of the duplex stainless steel sheet of this invention is demonstrated.
The duplex stainless steel sheet (hot-rolled steel sheet, cold-rolled steel sheet) of the present invention may be produced by a conventionally known method / condition, and is not particularly limited. For example, steel is melted in an electric furnace, a converter, or the like, subjected to secondary refining and adjusted to the steel having the above-described composition, and then made into a steel material (slab) by a continuous casting method or an ingot-decomposition rolling method. Next, the hot-rolled steel sheet is obtained by reheating the slab, hot-rolling, subjecting it to a solution heat treatment, and pickling it to obtain a product plate. On the other hand, the cold-rolled steel sheet is obtained by reheating the slab, hot-rolling, heat-treating it under appropriate conditions as necessary, pickling it to obtain a hot-rolled annealed sheet, and further cooling the hot-rolled annealed sheet. After hot rolling and solution heat treatment, pickling is performed to obtain a product plate.

ただし、上記熱延鋼板および冷延鋼板の製造工程における固溶化熱処理は、以下の条件で行うことが必要である。
固溶化熱処理温度:1000〜1100℃
固溶化熱処理は、鋼板中の炭化物を固溶化するために行う熱処理であり、この熱処理温度(焼鈍温度)は1000〜1100℃の範囲とする必要がある。1000℃未満では、固溶化処理温度に平衡するγ相のCr濃度が低下するため、冷却中に形成されるCr欠乏領域の最低Cr濃度との差は小さくなる。しかし、1000℃未満では、σ相の析出を招く他、熱間圧延時に析出したσ相が、固溶化熱処理によっても消失せずに残存し、耐食性や靭性の低下を招く。一方、熱処理温度が1100℃を超えると、元素の拡散が活発になり過ぎるため、後述する1次冷却中にCr欠乏領域が形成され易くなり、耐食性の低下を招く。よって、固溶化熱処理温度は1000〜1100℃の範囲とする。好ましくは1030〜1080℃の範囲である。
なお、上記温度に保持する時間は30〜600秒とするのが好ましい。30秒未満では、固溶化の効果が十分に得られず、一方、600秒を超えると、上記効果が飽和する他、生産性を阻害するようになるからである。
However, it is necessary to perform the solution heat treatment in the manufacturing process of the hot-rolled steel sheet and the cold-rolled steel sheet under the following conditions.
Solution heat treatment temperature: 1000-1100 ° C
The solution heat treatment is a heat treatment performed to solidify the carbide in the steel sheet, and the heat treatment temperature (annealing temperature) needs to be in the range of 1000 to 1100 ° C. If the temperature is lower than 1000 ° C., the Cr concentration in the γ phase that is in equilibrium with the solution treatment temperature decreases, and therefore the difference from the minimum Cr concentration in the Cr-deficient region formed during cooling becomes small. However, when the temperature is lower than 1000 ° C., the σ phase is precipitated, and the σ phase precipitated during hot rolling remains without disappearing even by the solution heat treatment, thereby causing a decrease in corrosion resistance and toughness. On the other hand, when the heat treatment temperature exceeds 1100 ° C., element diffusion becomes excessively active, so that a Cr-deficient region is likely to be formed during the primary cooling described later, leading to a decrease in corrosion resistance. Therefore, the solution heat treatment temperature is in the range of 1000 to 1100 ° C. Preferably it is the range of 1030-1080 degreeC.
The time for maintaining the temperature is preferably 30 to 600 seconds. If the time is less than 30 seconds, the effect of solid solution cannot be obtained sufficiently. On the other hand, if the time exceeds 600 seconds, the above effect is saturated and productivity is inhibited.

上記熱処理後の冷却は、800℃以上の温度まで冷却速度3℃/s以上で冷却(以降、この冷却を「1次冷却」という)し、その後、直ちに6℃/s以上で冷却する(以降、この冷却を「2次冷却」という)必要がある。
1次冷却:800℃以上の温度まで、冷却速度3℃/s以上で冷却
固溶化熱処理後の1次冷却速度が3℃/s未満では、冷却中に元素が拡散する時間が確保され、Cr欠乏領域の形成が進行するため、耐食性低下を招く。また、σ相や窒化物、炭化物が析出して、耐食性の低下を招くこともある。上記1次冷却の冷却速度は、好ましくは4℃/s以上、より好ましくは5℃/s以上である。なお、1次冷却の冷却速度の上限は、特に制限はないが、20℃/s以下が好ましい。また、上記1次冷却の冷却方法は、上記冷却速度が確保できれば特に制限はないが、ガス冷却とするのが好ましい。
The cooling after the heat treatment is performed at a cooling rate of 3 ° C./s or higher to a temperature of 800 ° C. or higher (hereinafter, this cooling is referred to as “primary cooling”), and then immediately cooled at 6 ° C./s or higher (hereinafter referred to as “cooling”). This cooling is called “secondary cooling”).
Primary cooling: Cooling at a cooling rate of 3 ° C./s or higher to a temperature of 800 ° C. or higher If the primary cooling rate after the solution heat treatment is less than 3 ° C./s, the time for the element to diffuse during cooling is secured, Cr Since the formation of the deficient region proceeds, the corrosion resistance is reduced. In addition, the σ phase, nitrides, and carbides may precipitate, leading to a decrease in corrosion resistance. The cooling rate of the primary cooling is preferably 4 ° C./s or more, more preferably 5 ° C./s or more. The upper limit of the cooling rate of primary cooling is not particularly limited, but is preferably 20 ° C./s or less. The primary cooling method is not particularly limited as long as the cooling rate can be secured, but gas cooling is preferable.

また、上記1次冷却の終了温度を800℃以上とする理由は、Crの平衡濃度は、固溶化熱処理温度(1000〜1100℃)から低くなるほど、α相においては高くなり、γ相においては低くなる。特に、800℃未満の温度においては、その傾向が顕著となる。Cr欠乏領域は、冷却中に生成したγ相に相当するため、800℃未満まで冷却した際に形成されるCr欠乏領域は、Cr濃度が低く、耐食性に劣る。従って、耐食性に劣るCr欠乏領域の生成を抑制するため、1次冷却の冷却終了温度は800℃以上とした。好ましくは900℃以上である。なお、冷却終了温度の上限は、上記固溶化熱処理温度(1000〜1100℃)以下であればよく、特に制限はない。   The reason for setting the end temperature of the primary cooling to 800 ° C. or higher is that the equilibrium concentration of Cr is higher in the α phase and lower in the γ phase as the solution temperature is lower than the solution heat treatment temperature (1000 to 1100 ° C.). Become. In particular, the tendency becomes remarkable at a temperature of less than 800 ° C. Since the Cr-deficient region corresponds to the γ phase generated during cooling, the Cr-deficient region formed when cooled to less than 800 ° C. has a low Cr concentration and is inferior in corrosion resistance. Therefore, in order to suppress the generation of a Cr-deficient region inferior in corrosion resistance, the cooling end temperature of primary cooling is set to 800 ° C. or higher. Preferably it is 900 degreeC or more. In addition, the upper limit of cooling completion temperature should just be below the said solution heat treatment temperature (1000-1100 degreeC), and there is no restriction | limiting in particular.

2次冷却速度:6℃/s以上
上記1次冷却に続く2次冷却は、冷却速度を6℃/s以上として行う必要がある。2次冷却速度が6℃/s未満では、やはり、Cr欠乏領域の生成が促進されたり、σ相や炭化物が析出したりするため、耐食性の低下を招く。また、475℃付近を緩冷却すると、475℃脆化が起こり、製造性の低下を招く。好ましくは7℃/s以上、より好ましくは8℃/s以上である。なお、上記2次冷却の冷却方法は、上記冷却速度が確保できれば特に制限はなく、例えば、走行する鋼板表面に冷却ガスを吹き付けるガスジェット冷却方式、冷却水を吹き付ける注水冷却方式、ガスと冷却水を混合して吹き付けるミスト冷却方式、鋼板を水中に浸漬して冷却する水冷方式、水冷ロールを鋼板に接触させて冷却するロール冷却方式等、いずれの方法を用いてもよい。
Secondary cooling rate: 6 ° C./s or more The secondary cooling following the primary cooling needs to be performed at a cooling rate of 6 ° C./s or more. If the secondary cooling rate is less than 6 ° C./s, the formation of Cr-deficient regions is promoted and the σ phase and carbides are precipitated, leading to a decrease in corrosion resistance. In addition, if the temperature near 475 ° C. is slowly cooled, 475 ° C. embrittlement occurs, resulting in a decrease in manufacturability. Preferably it is 7 degrees C / s or more, More preferably, it is 8 degrees C / s or more. The cooling method of the secondary cooling is not particularly limited as long as the cooling rate can be ensured. For example, a gas jet cooling method in which cooling gas is blown onto the traveling steel plate surface, a water injection cooling method in which cooling water is blown, gas and cooling water Any method may be used, such as a mist cooling method in which the steel plate is mixed and sprayed, a water cooling method in which the steel plate is immersed in water and cooled, and a roll cooling method in which the water cooling roll is brought into contact with the steel plate to cool.

なお、上記の説明では、焼鈍温度からの冷却過程を1次冷却と2次冷却とに分けているが、上記の冷却速度を確保できれば、2つに分ける必要はなく、例えば、全冷却過程を6℃/s以上で冷却するようにしてもよいことは勿論である。   In the above description, the cooling process from the annealing temperature is divided into primary cooling and secondary cooling. However, if the above cooling rate can be secured, it is not necessary to divide into two, for example, the entire cooling process Of course, the cooling may be performed at 6 ° C./s or more.

また、冷延鋼板を製造する場合、熱延板に施す熱処理は、熱間圧延時の歪を除去し、軟化すること目的として行うものであり、上記目的を達成できればその条件については特に制限しないが、例えば、1000〜1150℃の温度で、30〜300秒間均熱保持した後、6℃/s以上の冷却速度で冷却する条件とするのが好ましい。   Moreover, when manufacturing a cold-rolled steel sheet, the heat treatment applied to the hot-rolled sheet is performed for the purpose of removing and softening the strain during hot rolling, and the conditions are not particularly limited as long as the above-described object can be achieved. However, it is preferable to set it as the conditions cooled at a cooling rate of 6 degrees C / s or more, after hold | maintaining soaking for 30 to 300 seconds at the temperature of 1000-1150 degreeC, for example.

次に、本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板について説明する。
上記成分組成を有する鋼板に上記条件の固溶化熱処理を施した本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板は、金属組織内にσ相が存在していないことが必要である。σ相はCrとMoを主体とするものであるため、σ相近傍に局所的なCrとMoの欠乏領域が形成されて耐食性が低下したり、σ相は硬質で脆いため靭性が低下したりするからである。なお、このσ相の存在は、透過型電子顕微鏡やエッチング後の光学顕微鏡観察等で容易に確認することができる。
Next, the duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention will be described.
The duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention obtained by subjecting a steel sheet having the above composition to a solution heat treatment under the above conditions needs to have no σ phase in the metal structure. Since the σ phase is mainly composed of Cr and Mo, a local Cr and Mo deficient region is formed in the vicinity of the σ phase and the corrosion resistance is lowered, or the toughness is lowered because the σ phase is hard and brittle. Because it does. The existence of this σ phase can be easily confirmed by observation with a transmission electron microscope or an optical microscope after etching.

また、本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板は、金属組織内にσ相が存在していないことに加えて、α/γ相界面からγ相側に0.5μmまでの領域の最低Cr濃度と、同一γ相内で、α/γ相界面からγ相側に0.5μmより離れた領域の平均Cr濃度の差が1.5mass%未満であることが必要である。上記Cr濃度差が1.5mass%以上となると、低Cr濃度領域と高Cr濃度領域との間で局部電池を形成し粒界腐食が顕著となるからである。また、最低Cr濃度の測定領域をα/γ相界面からγ相側に0.5μmの範囲とした理由は、図3からもわかるように、α/γ相界面の移動によって形成される低Cr領域はα/γ相界面から0.5μm程度にまで及ぶからである。なお、上記Cr濃度差は、好ましくは1.3mass%以下、より好ましくは1.2mass%以下である。 Further, the duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention has the same minimum Cr concentration in the region from the α / γ phase interface to the γ phase side to 0.5 μm in addition to the absence of the σ phase in the metal structure. Within the γ phase, it is necessary that the difference in average Cr concentration in a region separated from the α / γ phase interface to the γ phase side by more than 0.5 μm is less than 1.5 mass%. This is because when the Cr concentration difference is 1.5 mass% or more, a local battery is formed between the low Cr concentration region and the high Cr concentration region, and intergranular corrosion becomes remarkable. The reason why the measurement region of the minimum Cr concentration is in the range of 0.5 μm from the α / γ phase interface to the γ phase side, as can be seen from FIG. 3, is the low Cr formed by the movement of the α / γ phase interface. This is because the region extends from the α / γ phase interface to about 0.5 μm. The Cr concentration difference is preferably 1.3 mass% or less, more preferably 1.2 mass% or less.

ここで、上記Cr濃度の測定方法については、特に制限はないが、微小部分のCr濃度を精度よく測定する観点からは、TEMやSEM等に付属のエネルギー分散X線分光分析(EDX分析)装置を用いることが好ましく、その際、より測定精度を高める観点から、線分析より点分析することが好ましい。また、Cr濃度を測定するα/γ相界面(粒界)は、試料表面(観察面)に対して垂直な界面であることが好ましい。界面が傾斜していると、α/γ相界面からの距離が不正確となってしまうからである。   Here, the method for measuring the Cr concentration is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of accurately measuring the Cr concentration in a minute portion, an energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopic analysis (EDX analysis) apparatus attached to a TEM, SEM or the like. In this case, it is preferable to perform point analysis from line analysis from the viewpoint of further improving measurement accuracy. The α / γ phase interface (grain boundary) for measuring the Cr concentration is preferably an interface perpendicular to the sample surface (observation surface). This is because if the interface is inclined, the distance from the α / γ phase interface becomes inaccurate.

上記したα/γ相界面からγ相側に0.5μmまでの領域の最低Cr濃度と、同一γ相内で、α/γ相界面からγ相側に0.5μmより離れた領域の平均Cr濃度の差が1.5mass%未満である二相ステンレス鋼板は、耐粒界腐食性に極めて優れたものとなる。そのため、例えば、ASTM A262 PracticeC(Huey Test)に準拠して、70mass%沸騰硝酸を腐食液とし、48時間を1バッチとする浸漬試験を各バッチで腐食液を更新しながら5バッチ行う粒界腐食試験における腐食速度を0.30g/m・hr未満とすることができる。 The minimum Cr concentration in the region from the α / γ phase interface to 0.5 μm on the γ phase side and the average Cr in the region separated from the α / γ phase interface to the γ phase side by 0.5 μm in the same γ phase. A duplex stainless steel sheet having a concentration difference of less than 1.5 mass% is extremely excellent in intergranular corrosion resistance. Therefore, for example, in accordance with ASTM A262 Practice C (Huey Test), intergranular corrosion in which 70 mass% boiling nitric acid is used as a corrosive solution and an immersion test with 48 batches as one batch is performed for 5 batches while renewing the corrosive solution in each batch. The corrosion rate in the test can be less than 0.30 g / m 2 · hr.

上記の熱延鋼板および冷延鋼板から、板厚×20mm×25mmの試験片を採取し、該試験片の表面を#120まで湿式研磨し、腐食試験片とした。
上記腐食試験片に対して、ASTM A262 PracticeC(Huey Test)に準拠して、70mass%沸騰硝酸を腐食液とし、48時間を1バッチとする浸漬試験を、各バッチで腐食液を更新しながら5バッチ行う粒界腐食試験を行い、試験前後の質量差から腐食減量を求めて、腐食速度を算出し、上記腐食速度が0.30g/m・hr未満のものを耐粒界腐食性が優(○)、0.30g/m・hr以上0.33g/m・hr未満のものを耐粒界腐食性が良(△)、0.33g/m・hr以上のものを耐粒界腐食性が劣(×)と評価した。
The various hot-rolled steel sheets and cold-rolled steel sheets obtained as described above were subjected to the following evaluation tests.
<Measurement of Cr concentration distribution near α / γ phase interface>
A sample having a cross section perpendicular to the rolling direction is taken from the hot-rolled steel sheet and the cold-rolled steel sheet, and an area having a thickness of about 50 nm exists from the sample by electropolishing the cross-section as an observation surface. A sample for TEM-EDX analysis was prepared.
Next, the TEM-EDX analysis sample is observed with a TEM to find an α / γ phase interface parallel to the electron beam, that is, substantially perpendicular to the observation surface, and the γ phase side of the α / γ phase interface is Point analysis was performed at intervals of 60 nm in the vertical direction from the α / γ phase interface. In order to ensure analysis accuracy, the beam irradiation time per point was set to 200 seconds.
Next, from the measurement results, a difference ΔCr between the lowest Cr concentration in the region within 0.5 μm in the vertical direction from the α / γ phase interface and the average Cr concentration in the region separated from 0.5 μm was obtained.
<Existence of sigma phase>
Using the sample used for the Cr concentration distribution measurement, the presence or absence of the σ phase was confirmed by TEM.
<Intergranular corrosion test>
A test piece having a thickness of 20 mm × 25 mm was taken from the hot-rolled steel plate and the cold-rolled steel plate, and the surface of the test piece was wet-polished to # 120 to obtain a corrosion test piece.
In accordance with ASTM A262 Practice C (Huey Test), an immersion test using 70 mass% boiling nitric acid as a corrosive liquid and 48 batches as one batch is performed while updating the corrosive liquid in each batch. Perform intergranular corrosion test in batches, calculate the corrosion weight loss from the mass difference before and after the test, calculate the corrosion rate, and those with the above corrosion rate less than 0.30 g / m 2 · hr have excellent intergranular corrosion resistance. (◯), 0.30 g / m 2 · hr or more and less than 0.33 g / m 2 · hr with good intergranular corrosion resistance (Δ), 0.33 g / m 2 · hr or more with grain resistance The interfacial corrosion was evaluated as inferior (x).

上記評価試験の結果を表2中に併記した。
この結果から、本発明に適合する成分組成を有する熱延鋼板または冷延鋼板に対して、本発明に適合する条件の固溶化熱処理を施した鋼板は、いずれもα/γ相界面におけるCr濃度差が1.5mass%未満で、粒界腐食速度が0.30g/m・hr未満であり、耐粒界腐食性に優れている。
これに対して、本発明の成分組成を満たしていても、本発明に適合しない固溶化熱処理を施した鋼板は、α/γ相界面におけるCr濃度差が1.5mass%以上、粒界腐食速度も0.30g/m・hr以上で、耐粒界腐食性に劣っている。
また、本発明の成分組成を満たしていても、本発明より低い温度で固溶化熱処理を施した鋼板は、金属組織内にσ相が生成し、耐粒界腐食性が低下する傾向にある。
また、本発明の成分組成を満たしていない鋼板は、例え本発明に適合する条件で固溶化熱処理を施してCr濃度差ΔCrを1.5mass%未満としても、鋼板自体の耐食性に劣るため、粒界腐食速度は0.30g/m・hr以上となっている。
The results of the evaluation test are also shown in Table 2.
From this result, the steel sheet subjected to the solution heat treatment under the conditions suitable for the present invention with respect to the hot-rolled steel sheet or the cold-rolled steel sheet having the component composition suitable for the present invention are both Cr concentration at the α / γ phase interface. The difference is less than 1.5 mass%, the intergranular corrosion rate is less than 0.30 g / m 2 · hr, and the intergranular corrosion resistance is excellent.
On the other hand, even if the component composition of the present invention is satisfied, the steel plate subjected to the solution heat treatment not conforming to the present invention has a Cr concentration difference of 1.5 mass% or more at the α / γ phase interface, and the intergranular corrosion rate. Is 0.30 g / m 2 · hr or more, and the intergranular corrosion resistance is inferior.
Further, even if the composition of the present invention is satisfied, a steel sheet that has been subjected to a solution heat treatment at a temperature lower than that of the present invention tends to produce a σ phase in the metal structure and reduce intergranular corrosion resistance.
In addition, the steel sheet that does not satisfy the component composition of the present invention is inferior in corrosion resistance of the steel sheet itself even if it is subjected to solution heat treatment under the conditions suitable for the present invention and the Cr concentration difference ΔCr is less than 1.5 mass%. The field corrosion rate is 0.30 g / m 2 · hr or more.

本発明の二相ステンレス鋼板は、耐粒界腐食性に優れているため、化学プラント以外の厳しい腐食性環境下で使用される高耐食材料として好適に用いることができる。   Since the duplex stainless steel sheet of the present invention is excellent in intergranular corrosion resistance, it can be suitably used as a high corrosion resistance material used in severe corrosive environments other than chemical plants.
