Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for controlling the composition of non-metallic inclusions in steel, which requires a high degree of cold workability or corrosion resistance in the industrial field of office equipment, precision electronic equipment parts and the like. The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a steel material suitable as a material for a steel wire, a thin plate or a foil.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, there has been a strong demand for weight reduction and miniaturization of office equipment, precision electronic equipment parts and the like from the viewpoint of labor saving, and the diameter and thickness reduction of materials have been actively promoted. , To deal with these, now mainly SUS
A quasi-austenitic stainless steel typified by 301, SUS304, etc. is used to generate work-induced martensite by high-strength cold working to achieve high strength.

However, with this method, the stability of the quality cannot be ensured because the presence of non-metallic inclusions in the steel greatly affects the cold workability or the strength / ductility of the material after working. Therefore, detoxification of non-metallic inclusions has become an important issue. Material processability or strength of processed material
For ductility, it has been widely known that it is effective to reduce hard inclusions among the nonmetallic inclusions in steel and to make them ultrafine. In order to achieve these, carefully selected melting raw materials, refractory materials, slag reforming refining, vacuum refining, E
Special refining techniques such as SR have come to be applied.
However, in these methods, the quality is not stable, and the manufacturing cost is greatly increased due to the enormous equipment cost, running cost, and increase in processes.

On the other hand, a method of detoxifying the influence of non-metallic inclusions by controlling the shape of non-metallic inclusions is disclosed in Japanese Examined Patent Publication No. 60-338.
It is known from Japanese Patent Publication No. 95 and Japanese Patent Publication No. 2-41579, but all of these are intended to achieve the intended purpose by adjusting the composition of the oxide, and some effects can be expected. Since the non-metallic inclusions to be treated are oxides, their effects have not been completely rendered harmless.

[0005]

As a result of intensive studies on the behavior of non-metallic inclusions in hot rolling and the morphology control technology of non-metallic inclusions, the morphology of hard oxides has an effect on cold workability or the strength and ductility of the processed material. This problem has been solved by controlling the size of the microstructure.

Al ₂ is a non-metallic inclusion that hinders the cold workability of steel and reduces the strength and ductility of the material after working.
Alumina-based oxide containing O ₃ as a main component or SiO ₂
Silica-based oxides containing as a main component, all of these oxides are hard and do not plastically deform, so voids are generated between the periphery of the oxide and the base material during cold working, and this develops. In addition, the oxide itself is subjected to stress concentration during cold working and becomes a starting point of work cracking. Therefore, the cold workability or the strength / ductility of the material after working is greatly influenced by the amount, quality and shape of the hard oxide.

As a result of intensive studies on the relationship between the morphology of the oxide and the cold-working characteristics, the present inventor found that in order to render the influence of non-metallic inclusions on the cold-working characteristics harmless It is important to reduce the amount of hard oxides, especially large-sized ones. For the former, the amount of O should be reduced, and for the latter, the composition of the hard oxide should be fixed in the oxide. It has been found that it is effective to draw and cut during hot rolling and cold working by softening by melting and imparting plasticity.

On the basis of this technical idea, many attempts have hitherto been made to lower the melting point of oxides by reducing the amount of O or changing from Al deoxidation to Si-Mn deoxidation. However, if the amount of O in steel is reduced to a level of approximately 50 ppm or less, the concentration of Al ₂ O _{3 in the} oxide increases, and hard oxides with poor plasticity increase, so the amount of non-metallic inclusions is also reduced. Regardless of quality.

This is at the impurity level in the conventional Si-Mn deoxidation when the amount of O is reduced to the limit [Al].
This is because the influence of quantity cannot be ignored. Therefore, the present inventors have a limit only by adjusting the composition of the oxide, and as a result of further research, if the oxide is converted into oxysulfide, the plasticity is obtained not only in hot rolling but also in cold working. The present invention has been completed, and it was found that the oxide-based inclusions (hereinafter, referred to as non-metallic inclusions) are extremely effective for fineness and dispersion, and thus the present invention has been completed.

[0013]

The present invention will be described in more detail with reference to the drawings. The present inventor first conducted the following experiment in order to clarify the behavior of the oxide during hot rolling or cold working. Based on 18Cr-8Ni stainless steel, a material whose chemical composition was changed within the range shown in Table 1 was melted in a high frequency vacuum melting furnace of 100 kg to form a 70 mm thick slab. Next, a hot rolled steel sheet having a thickness of 4 mm was hot-rolled, followed by solution treatment, pickling descaling, and cold rolling to produce a cold rolled sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm. The ingots, hot-rolled and cold-rolled steel sheets obtained by the above method were examined for the morphology of non-metallic inclusions (number and composition of individual size per unit area). Here, the non-metal inclusion has an inspected area of 100 mm ^2, and all non-metallic inclusions in the inspected area that are identifiable have a high magnification (×).
1000) Measured with a microscope.

[0014]

[Table 1]

FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the amount of O in steel, the maximum width of nonmetallic inclusions, and the number of nonmetallic inclusions per unit area. O hardly forms a solid solution in steel and forms an oxide,
The number of nonmetallic inclusions increases in proportion to the amount of O, and the size increases. In particular, the maximum width of non-metallic inclusions sharply increases from the vicinity of the O content exceeding 40 to 50 ppm.
FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the amount of Al in steel, the maximum width of non-metallic inclusions, and the composition of the non-metallic inclusions. As the amount of Al in steel increases, the concentration of Al ₂ O ₃ in nonmetallic inclusions increases. Along with this, the maximum width of nonmetallic inclusions increases. In particular, the amount of Al in steel exceeds 50 ppm, and Al in non-metallic inclusions
_{When the} concentration of ₂ O ₃ is about 20% or more, the maximum width of non-metallic inclusions rapidly increases.

The above is the qualitatively known relation between the morphology of nonmetallic inclusions and O and Al. The inventors of the present invention have further studied the fineness of nonmetallic inclusions based on the above findings. As a result of earnest researches to implement the chemical adjustment technology,
We came to discover new knowledge. FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the amount of S in steel, the maximum width of nonmetallic inclusions, and the S concentration in the nonmetallic inclusions. As the amount of S in steel increases, the maximum width of nonmetallic inclusions decreases. This is S in non-metallic inclusions
This is because the non-metallic inclusions have a low melting point due to the increased concentration, and the inclusions have changed to stretched inclusions.

As a result of research to further develop a new finding capable of changing the morphology of nonmetallic inclusions depending on the amount of S in steel, FIG. 4 was obtained as a new finding. That is, the maximum width of the nonmetallic inclusions is determined by the O content and the Al content in the steel, but an appropriate amount of S is required to refine the nonmetallic inclusions.
Is effective to form a solid solution with a non-metallic inclusion, and
It has been found that the appropriate amount of S changes depending on the amount of Al in steel. The result is shown in FIG. By increasing the amount of S in proportion to the increase in the amount of Al, the maximum width of the non-metallic inclusion is reduced.

Conventionally, S in steel tends to be reduced as much as possible as an element that deteriorates the corrosion resistance and workability of steel, and in recent years, it has been possible to reduce it to 10 ppm or less due to remarkable progress in refining technology. However, morphology control of non-metallic inclusions,
Particularly, S is effective for extremely low O and extremely low Al steels, and it can be said that it is not preferable to reduce S more than necessary. The present inventors have also found that the composition of the non-metallic inclusions changes even during heating during hot rolling of the slab.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the Cr ₂ O ₃ concentration in the non-metallic inclusions rises when the slab is heated. Moreover, proper temperature and time are required for stable formation of oxysulfide (FIG. 6). In particular, when the Cr ₂ O ₃ concentration in nonmetallic inclusions exceeds 10% and becomes high, it becomes hard nonmetallic inclusions. Therefore, in order to control the composition of nonmetallic inclusions in products, hot rolling conditions are controlled. It is important to.

Next, the reasons for limiting the steel composition, non-metallic inclusions and hot rolling temperature in the present invention will be described in detail. (1) Si, Mn Si and Mn cause a secondary deoxidation reaction shown by the following equation in the molten steel containing oxygen with the temperature drop of the molten steel, and contribute to the reduction of the [O] amount.

That is, Si; Si + 2O → SiO ₂ Mn; Mn + O → MnO. Most of these deoxidation products are SiO ₂ -M during their formation.
It is compounded as nO or SiO ₂ —MnO—Al ₂ O ₃ to be floated and removed, and a part remains in the steel as a non-metallic inclusion.

The above reaction and formation behavior are affected by the amounts of O and Al in the steel, and when the Al content is high or the O content is extremely low, Al ₂ O ₃ nonmetallic inclusions are considered to be the mainstream. Become. Here, as non-metallic inclusions, those close to SiO ₂ or MnO alone remaining in the steel are hard, and ternary non-metallic inclusions containing 30% or less of Al ₂ O ₃ in SiO ₂ —MnO. The material has a relatively low melting point and plasticity.

The present inventors have paid attention to the formation behavior of non-metallic inclusions and their characteristics, and as a result of conducting various basic experiments, as a result, the amounts of Si and Mn are properly adjusted even under extremely low O and extremely low Al. SiO ₂ —MnO having plasticity by adjusting
It found a technique capable of producing -al ₂ O ₃ based nonmetallic inclusions. That is, O ≦ 0.005% by weight% of the present invention, A
Even under the constraint of 1 ≦ 0.005%, the Si content in% by weight is 0.
If the amount of Mn is 3% or more and the amount of Mn is 0.2% or more, the non-metal inclusions become SiO ₂ —MnO—Al ₂ O ₃ -based non-metal inclusions having plasticity. Therefore, the Si content is 0.3% or more, and the Mn
The amount was 0.3% or more.

On the other hand, if the Si content exceeds 3% and is contained in a large amount, δ ferrite is formed, the hot workability is deteriorated, and a silica-based non-metallic inclusion having a high SiO ₂ component is formed, thereby improving the plasticity. It inhibits the formation of SiO ₂ —MnO—Al ₂ O ₃ -based non-metallic inclusions that it has. Therefore, the upper limit of Si is 3
%. Similarly, if Mn is contained in a large amount in excess of 3%, hard MnO is produced, so the upper limit of Mn is set to 3
%.

(2) When the amount of Al in Al steel increases, the concentration of Al ₂ O _{3 in} inclusions increases, and the nonmetallic inclusions become hard. Therefore, the remaining inclusions become large in size and impair the cold workability of steel. A
If the amount of 1 exceeds 0.005%, the cold workability is significantly affected. Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of Al is set to 0.005%.

However, it is needless to say that even if the amount of Al is within this range, it is necessary to properly control it in relation to the amount of S according to the present invention. (3) OO The amount of O 2 influences the amount of non-metallic inclusions in the steel, and the amount of non-metallic inclusions increases as the amount of O increases, and the size increases, so the lower the better. Further, in the present invention, since the amount of Al is extremely reduced, if the amount of O becomes high, deoxidation becomes insufficient and
₂ O ₃ -based nonmetallic inclusions are formed.

Since Cr ₂ O ₃ -based nonmetallic inclusions are hard, if they exist alone, they are harmful to the cold workability of steel. Further, even if combined with other non-metallic inclusions to form a composite, it is difficult to stretch during hot rolling or cold working, so it is necessary to reduce Cr ₂ O ₃ -based non-metallic inclusions as much as possible. Among the limited deoxidizing elements in the steel composition, Cr ₂ O ₃ -based non-metallic inclusions are reduced as much as possible, and the plasticity is SiO ₂ —MnO—Al ₂ O.
The upper limit of the amount of O is set to 0.005% in order to most effectively generate the ₃ type nonmetallic inclusions.

(4) S The basic idea of the present invention is that the composition capable of stretching the non-metallic inclusions in the steel during hot rolling, that is, SiO ₂ —MnO—Al ₂
It is to adjust to O ₃ system. However, it is possible to effectively and stably improve the stretchability of the non-metal inclusions by incorporating an appropriate amount of S into the non-metal inclusions to form oxysulfide. Therefore, S is an essential element for forming oxy sulfide having high stretchability, and for this purpose, the higher the S, the more preferable.

By the way, the tendency of the stretchable oxysulfide to be affected is affected by the amount of Al in the steel. That is, as the Al content in the steel increases, the Al ₂ O ₃ concentration in the non-metallic inclusions increases and the extensibility of the non-metallic inclusions decreases, but increasing the Al content by adding an amount of S commensurate with this It is possible to suppress the decrease in the stretchability of non-metallic inclusions due to the above. This limit is expressed by the following equation. That is, S ≧ 0.25Al-0.00025 Therefore, the amount of S may be an amount that satisfies the above formula, but if it is made higher than necessary, it does not form a solid solution with non-metallic inclusions.
Becomes MnS and the hot workability is extremely lowered, resulting in a problem in manufacturability. Further, when it is made into a product, it causes deterioration in quality such as corrosion resistance or workability. Therefore, the upper limit of the amount of S is 0.0 as a sufficient amount to form oxysulfide.
It was set to 05%.

The amount of non-metallic inclusions in steel is determined by the amount of oxygen, and the morphology also changes, and it should be arranged by the relationship of the amount of S-Al-O, but the present invention If the chemical composition is in accordance with the above, the effect of O content can be almost ignored. As described above, by adjusting the composition of the steel, the nonmetallic inclusions are softened, and the composition having plasticity by hot rolling, that is, SiO ₂ : 10 to 40%, MnO: 20 to 60%, A
It is possible to adjust l ₂ O ₃ ≦ 30%.

By the way, the present inventors further investigated the behavior of the non-metallic inclusions after the slab or hot rolling, and found that the composition of the non-metallic inclusions was changed by hot rolling the slab. It was This is because the non-metallic inclusions in the slab are not always in equilibrium. That is, in the non-metallic inclusions in the slab, the SiO ₂ concentration in the non-metallic inclusions decreases during heating of the slab during hot rolling, and Cr ₂ O ₃ increases.

When the Cr ₂ O ₃ concentration increases, the nonmetallic inclusions become hard, and large nonmetallic inclusions remain in the steel material after hot rolling, and the limit Cr ₂ O ₃ concentration is about 10%. .. Therefore, the Cr ₂ O ₃ concentration in the non-metallic inclusions should be 10%.
In order to achieve the following, it is necessary to regulate hot rolling conditions.
The setting of hot rolling conditions is restricted from both aspects of formation of oxysulfide and suppression of Cr ₂ O ₃ concentration. That is, the higher the heating temperature is, the more preferable from the viewpoint of forming oxysulfide and hot rolling property. However, when the heating temperature exceeds 1300 ° C, Cr ₂
O ₃ concentration becomes high. These limit values are expressed by the following equations.

Cr ₂ O ₃ ≦ 10%; t ≦ −0.05T + 66 (2) Oxy sulfide; t ≧ −0.01T + 11 (3) By the way, stainless steel and high alloy steel have high temperature strength and heat resistance. Since the hot workability is poor, it is necessary to heat the slab sufficiently during hot rolling. Considering these, the heating temperature is 950 ° C. or higher and the heating time is 30 minutes or longer.
Therefore, by summing up the above, equations (2) and (3) and 95
A region surrounded by a region having a temperature of 0 ° C. or higher and a heating time of 30 minutes or longer was set as an appropriate heating condition.

The second invention provides a technique having the same characteristics as the first invention with respect to the control of non-metallic inclusions when using Ca and Mg as deoxidizing elements. (5) Ca and Mg The present invention also provides a method for controlling plastic nonmetallic inclusions when adjusting the amount of O using Ca and Mg as deoxidizing agents.

That is, in order for the nonmetallic inclusions to have plasticity during hot rolling, CaO in the SiO ₂ --MnO--Al ₂ O ₃ -based nonmetallic inclusions, which is the basic nonmetallic inclusion in the present invention, or The total MgO concentration must be 20% or less. Therefore, to satisfy this requirement,
With steel composition, Ca ≦ 0.0030%, Mg ≦ 0.0006
Regulated to%.

The method of controlling the non-metallic inclusions in the steel described above is not particularly dependent on the main component of the steel, but the effect is particularly large in stainless steel, high alloy steel and superalloy.

EXAMPLES Examples and comparative examples of the present invention will be described below. 1200 tons of 1-ton ingot made by melting stainless steel and high alloy steel whose chemical composition is shown in Table 2 in a vacuum melting furnace
After being hot-rolled to a thickness of 5 mm, it was annealed, pickled and descaled, and then cold-rolled to produce a cold-rolled sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm. The cold rolled sheet was examined for morphology of inclusions and non-metallic inclusions, and press workability was confirmed to confirm the effect of morphology control of non-metallic inclusions. The results are shown in Table 3.

Further, Table 4 shows the No. 2 shown in Table 2. 2 shows the results of investigating various characteristics by manufacturing a hot rolled sheet and a cold rolled sheet having a thickness of 0.5 mm in the same manner by changing only the heating conditions of the slab during hot rolling using a part of the two steels.

The non-metallic inclusions of the steel of the present invention are all 23-
39% SiO ₂ -33 to 45% MnO-13 to 25% A
Since the main component is l ₂ O ₃ and S is contained in an amount of 1 to 3%, the nonmetallic inclusions are finely divided. Therefore, the width of non-metallic inclusions never exceeds 2 μm, and the maximum width is at most 1 μm. On the other hand, No. 11 Steel has a relatively small number of non-metallic inclusions due to low O, but large amount of Al in the steel causes large non-metallic inclusions exceeding 3 μm to form hard Al ₂ O ₃ -based non-metallic inclusions.

The morphology of non-metallic inclusions affects the properties of the product after press working, and if the number of large non-metallic inclusions increases, work cracking occurs and press workability deteriorates.
