本発明は最高硬さおよび降伏比の低い高強度高靭性鋼材
の製造方法に関するものである。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (Industrial Field of Application) The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing high-strength, high-toughness steel materials with maximum hardness and low yield ratio.

環境脆化防止の見地から材料の最高硬さを低くする規制
が行なわれている。(Conventional technology and problems) In recent years, the depletion of energy/l/e resources has become a problem, and the development of energy resources such as oil and natural gas is gaining momentum, and adverse conditions that were previously ignored The development of oil and gas wells is actively underway. Along with this, steel materials such as steel pipe sections and thick plates used in these structures are also required to withstand harsh environments. In other words, it is required not only to have high strength and high toughness, but also to have a low yield ratio (ratio of yield strength to tensile strength) from the viewpoint of workability and safety.
Gas wells often contain hydrogen sulfide, and therefore, regulations are in place to reduce the maximum hardness of materials from the standpoint of preventing environmental embrittlement.
一般に鋼材の強度と靭性を同時に向上させる方法として
焼入焼戻処理がよく知られている。Generally, quenching and tempering treatment is well known as a method for simultaneously improving the strength and toughness of steel materials.
しかし、ラインパイプ用鋼のような低合金成分の鋼に通
常の焼入焼戻処理を行なった場合、焼入時の冷却速度が
速い表面部の硬度が高く内部の硬度が低くなり、表面と
内面の硬度偏差が大きくなる。すなわち、鋼材の強度と
よく対応する平均硬さに対して最高硬さレベルが高くな
る。However, when regular quenching and tempering is applied to steel with a low alloy content, such as linepipe steel, the hardness is high at the surface where the cooling rate is fast during quenching, and the hardness inside is low. The hardness deviation of the inner surface increases. That is, the maximum hardness level is higher than the average hardness, which corresponds well to the strength of the steel material.
硬さの低い鋼材を製造するためには、表面硬化部を軟化
させる必要があり、高温長時間焼戻処埋が必須である。In order to manufacture steel materials with low hardness, it is necessary to soften the surface hardened portion, and high-temperature and long-term tempering treatment is essential.
一方、降伏比と焼戻温度の調査結果から、５５０℃以上

部加熱法がある。On the other hand, the results of the investigation of yield ratio and tempering temperature show that there is a nearly constant relationship between strength and yield ratio in tempering treatments at high temperatures of 550°C or higher and below the Ac1 transformation point, and that in high-strength materials, the yield ratio It is known to increase. Therefore, in order to obtain a low yield ratio with high-strength materials, it is necessary to perform tempering at a low temperature. To produce steel with maximum hardness and low yield ratio,
This contradiction must be resolved. As a solution to this problem, there is a local heating method using high frequency current as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 129703/1983.

よび靭性の劣化が著しく大きいことも知られている。This is a heating method that utilizes the skin effect of high-frequency current to heat only the hardened surface area to a high temperature to suppress internal temperature rise. In such a heating method, it is important to increase the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the steel material, and in order to prevent uniform heating due to heat conduction, only the surface portion is heated for a short time. However, short-time heating below the AC1 transformation point temperature does not provide sufficient softening effect, and especially when high-strength steel pipes contain a large amount of alloying elements, the tempering softening resistance is high. It is also known that heating to a high temperature exceeding the transformation point partially produces an austenitic structure, resulting in significant deterioration of strength and toughness.

よシ低硬度が得られることを知見した。(Means for Solving the Problems) In view of the current situation, the present invention seeks to find a method for heat treatment of steel pipes that maintains the strength and toughness of normal quenched and tempered steel, and has maximum hardness and low yield ratio. With the aim of It was discovered that the same fine metal structure as back treatment can be maintained, and a lower hardness than ordinary quenching and tempering treatment can be obtained.

方法である。The present invention was constructed based on this knowledge, and its gist is that after hot rolling or reheating, a steel pipe is rapidly cooled from a high temperature, and then only the surface hardened layer of the steel pipe is
This method involves locally heating a steel material to a temperature in the range of 0°C at a heating rate of 5°C/sec or more and cooling immediately, which produces a steel material with maximum hardness and a low yield ratio.

AA: 0.030%) is reheated to 950°C and then rapidly cooled, then rapidly heated to various temperatures by high frequency heating method, and immediately cooled. Changes in maximum hardness are shown. At a low heating temperature of 750° C. or lower, the maximum hardness is almost the same as the hardness level in normal tempering treatment below the AC1 transformation temperature, but when heated to 750° C. or higher, the maximum hardness decreases significantly. However, if the heating temperature exceeds 850° C., the hardness becomes unstable and hardens. Therefore, the heating temperature is 750 to 850°C. Furthermore, in the present invention, it is an important factor to heat to such a high temperature at a fast temperature increase rate and immediately cool it. When a steel pipe is heated to a temperature range of 750 to 850° C. at a normal heat removal rate, the steel pipe becomes coarse as austenite transformation progresses, changes to a nine-austenite metal structure, and the strength and toughness of the steel deteriorate. In other words, the present invention suppresses the coarsening of transformed austenite grains by rapidly heating at 5°C/second or more and immediately starting cooling, thereby ensuring a fine metal structure comparable to that of ordinary quenched and tempered steel. This prevents deterioration of toughness and hardening.

のである。In the present invention, the method of rapidly heating only the hardened surface layer of the steel material that has been rapidly cooled from a high temperature can be achieved by any heating method such as induction heating using high-frequency current, current heating, flame heating, Rede beam, electron beam, etc. The subsequent cooling may be carried out by any method such as standing cooling, water cooling, or strong cooling. In the field of steel pipes, there is a strong demand for steel materials with maximum hardness and low yield ratio, which is related to the present invention, so this has been explained as a manufacturing method for steel pipes, but it is also applicable not only to steel pipes but also to thick steel plates, shaped steel, long steel bars, etc. It can be applied effectively.

質特性の比較を第２表に示す。Table 1 shows the chemical composition of the test steel used. Steel pipes were made by seamless rolling, then quenched by heating to a temperature of 910°C by a reheating method and then rapidly cooled, and various types of tempering were performed by an induction heating method to conduct material tests. Table 2 shows a comparison of tempering conditions and material properties.

熱後の急冷により最高硬さが高くなっている。In the method of the present invention, although the strength is on average higher than K, the level of yield ratio is low. In addition to the low yield ratio, the maximum hardness is also controlled to a low level. In addition, the toughness level is comparable to the comparative method in terms of strength and toughness. If the heating rate is slow, or 750-850
When kept at a temperature of ℃, deterioration of toughness and significant decrease in strength are observed. Moreover, when the heating temperature is too high, the maximum hardness becomes high due to rapid cooling after heating.
