Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a steel material having a uniform and fine structure by making the temp. range of rapid heating as narrow as possible when heat treatment is carried out to austenitize a steel material. CONSTITUTION:A steel material is hot worked and heat treated by cooling to the Ar1 point or below and reheating to the Ac3 point - a temp. below the coarsening temp. of austenite grains. In the reheating stage, the hot worked steel material is slowly heated at <1 deg.C/sec heating rate in the temp. range of the Ac3 point - the Ac1 point, and the material is rapidly heated at >=1 deg.C/sec heating rate in the temp. range of the Ac1 point and above. The slow heating is carried out in a combustion type heating furnace, and the rapid heating in an induction heating furnace.

Background technology> In general, when manufacturing high-strength seamless steel pipes for structural use,
"Austenite specific heat treatment" is carried out in which the steel material after hot working is cooled down to a temperature below the -HArI point and then heated again to the austenite region, but in recent years,
It has become known that if the heating during such austenitizing heat treatment is carried out at "rapid heating", the austenite grains become fine IC and the toughness is improved.

It has also been reported that the "induction heating method" is suitable as this rapid heating means (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 58-91123).

However, if rapid heating is performed during heat treatment, uneven heating tends to occur in the heated steel material. Therefore, when the austenitizing heat treatment as described above is performed by rapid heating,
We had to accept the inconvenience that it is very difficult to assemble the desired uniform structure.

Since this tendency is particularly noticeable in a low temperature range such as around room temperature, it has become a serious problem when rapidly heating from room temperature to temperature range 1 of 3 AC points or more.

Since the wall thickness of twisted pipes with bead reinforcement and uneven wall thickness is not uniform, it is easy to cause variations in heating temperature and heating rate, resulting in uneven heating. Since the heating temperature difference that occurs tends to accumulate, the wider the temperature range of rapid heating, the more pronounced the heating unevenness becomes. Therefore, it has been more difficult to obtain a uniform structure by rapid heating.

Furthermore, there is a problem in that when all induction heating systems are employed as rapid heating means, the heating cost (Vcl-j) increases considerably compared to when all ordinary combustion heating furnaces are used.

From Figures 1 and 2, there is a slight difference in retention time and ACI.
The difference in heating rate in the temperature range below the rAcI point has little effect on the austenite grain size, but the difference in austenite grain size in steel materials depends on the heating rate in the temperature range above the rAcI point.
, and the heating rate in that region is 1℃.
It can be seen that when the austenite grain size exceeds /see, a remarkable tendency towards austenite grain refinement is exhibited.

In addition, in the heat treatment method of the present invention, the heating rate of the steel material in the temperature range below the Ac1 point is set to be less than 0°C/sec, but if the heating rate in this area exceeds 1()°C/sec, the heating rate is This is because unevenness tends to occur and it becomes difficult to obtain a uniform structure.On the other hand, the heating rate of the steel material in the temperature range above the AC point was determined to be 1.0°C/sec or more.

The steel material to be heated is subjected to gradual heating to a temperature of less than C, and the temperature is uniformly raised to around the ACl transformation point (about 30'C for carbon steel in the film).Subsequently, the steel material to be heated is heated in the barrel-type combustion heating furnace. It is rapidly heated to a target temperature by an induction heating device 3V placed immediately after the heating device 2, and is hardened by a hardening device 5.
This results in high-toughness, fine-grained steel at relatively low cost.
