FIG. 1 is a process flow chart showing a method of manufacturing a pressure vessel steel material according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The features of the present invention and the method for achieving the same will be apparent from the accompanying drawings and the embodiments described below. However, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but may be embodied in various forms. The present embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of the present invention is complete and that those skilled in the art will fully understand the scope of the present invention. The invention is only defined by the description of the claims.

Hereinafter, a pressure vessel steel according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention and a method of manufacturing the same will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Pressure vessel steel

The pressure vessel steel according to the present invention is characterized in that it has a tensile strength (TS) of 485 to 620 MPa, a yield strength (YS) of not less than 260 MPa, an elongation (EL) of not less than 21% Shock absorption energy of 70 J or more.

For this, the pressure vessel steel according to the present invention comprises 0.14 to 0.18% of C, 0.3 to 0.4% of Si, 1.0 to 1.2% of Mn, 0.02% of P or less, 0.005% or less of S, 0.1 to 0.25% of Cr, 0.15 to 0.25% of Cr, 0.01 to 0.08% of Mo, 0.02 to 0.03% of V, 0.02 to 0.03% of V, 0.0001 to 0.03% of Cr, 0.05 to 0.15% To 0.0020% and the balance of iron (Fe) and unavoidable impurities.

Hereinafter, the role and content of each component included in the pressure vessel steel according to the present invention will be described.

Carbon (C)

Carbon (C) is added to secure strength and is the most influential element in weldability. At this time, the influence of the alloying element other than carbon may be expressed as equivalent carbon (carbon equivalent: Ceq).

The carbon (C) is preferably added at a content ratio of 0.14 to 0.18% by weight based on the total weight of the steel material according to the present invention. When the content of carbon (C) is less than 0.14% by weight of the total weight of the steel, it may be difficult to secure sufficient strength. On the contrary, when the content of carbon (C) exceeds 0.18% by weight of the total weight of the steel, carbide is formed to inhibit grain boundary growth, and weldability is reduced during electrical resistance welding (ERW).

Meanwhile, the steel material according to the present invention may contain carbon (C), manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), molybdenum (Mo), and vanadium ) Is more preferable.

In the case of electrical resistance welding (ERW) for steel pipe manufacturing,

Cr / 5] + [Mo / 4] + [V / 14]? 0.43 [C] + [Mn / 6] + [Si / 24] + [Ni /

(Where [] is the weight percentage of each element), the occurrence of cracks in welds is significantly reduced if the carbon content is within a certain range.

Silicon (Si)

Silicon (Si) acts as a deoxidizer in the steel and contributes to securing strength.

The silicon (Si) is preferably added in an amount of 0.3 to 0.4% by weight based on the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. When the content of silicon (Si) is less than 0.3 wt% of the total weight of the steel, the effect of the addition is insufficient. On the contrary, when the content of silicon (Si) exceeds 0.4% by weight of the total weight of the steel material, the toughness and weldability of the steel material deteriorate.

Manganese (Mn)

Manganese (Mn) is an element useful for improving strength without deteriorating toughness.

The manganese is preferably added at a content ratio of 1.0 to 1.2% by weight based on the total weight of the steel material according to the present invention. When the content of manganese (Mn) is less than 1.0% by weight of the total weight of the steel, the effect of addition thereof can not be exhibited properly. On the contrary, when the content of manganese (Mn) exceeds 1.2% by weight of the total weight of the steel, there is a problem that the sensitivity to temper embrittlement is increased.

In (P)

Phosphorous (P) is added to inhibit cementite formation and increase strength.

However, when the content of phosphorus (P) exceeds 0.02% by weight of the total weight of the steel according to the present invention, the weldability is deteriorated and the slab center segregation may cause the final material deviation have. Therefore, in the present invention, the content of phosphorus (P) is limited to 0.02% by weight or less based on the total weight of the steel material.

Sulfur (S)

Sulfur (S) reacts with manganese (Mn) to form precipitates of fine MnS to improve processability.

However, when the content of sulfur (S) exceeds 0.005% by weight of the total weight of the steel material according to the present invention, the content of sulfur (S) is too large, so that ductility and formability may be significantly lowered, . Therefore, it is preferable that the content of sulfur (S) is limited to 0.005% by weight or less based on the total weight of the steel material according to the present invention.

Soluble Aluminum (S_Al)

Soluble aluminum (S_Al) acts as a deoxidizer to remove oxygen in the steel.

The soluble aluminum (S_Al) is preferably added in an amount of 0.015 to 0.050 wt% of the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. If the content of soluble aluminum (S_Al) is less than 0.015% by weight of the total weight of the steel material, the deoxidizing effect described above can not be exhibited properly. On the contrary, when the content of soluble aluminum (S_Al) exceeds 0.050 wt% of the total weight of the steel material, it is difficult to perform, resulting in a decrease in productivity and a compound which causes a pinning effect such as Al 2 O 3 to form austenite crystal grains Which is a factor that causes microfabrication.

Niobium (Nb)

Niobium (Nb) combines with carbon (C) at high temperature to form carbide. Niobium carbide improves the strength and low temperature toughness of steel by refining crystal grains by suppressing grain growth during hot rolling.

The niobium (Nb) is preferably added in an amount of 0.01 to 0.02% by weight based on the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. When the content of niobium (Nb) is less than 0.01% by weight of the total weight of the steel, the effect of adding niobium can not be exhibited properly. On the other hand, when the content of niobium (Nb) exceeds 0.02% by weight of the total weight of the steel material, excessive addition thereof decreases the weldability of the steel material. If the content of niobium (Nb) exceeds 0.02% by weight, the strength and low temperature toughness due to the increase of the niobium content are not further improved but exist in a solid state in the ferrite, and there is a risk of lowering the impact toughness.

Copper (Cu)

Copper (Cu) contributes to solid solution strengthening and enhances strength.

The copper (Cu) is preferably added in an amount of 0.05 to 0.15% by weight based on the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. When the content of copper (Cu) is less than 0.05 wt% of the total weight of the steel, the effect of the addition can not be exhibited properly. On the other hand, when the content of copper exceeds 0.15% by weight of the total weight of the steel, the hot workability of the steel is lowered and the susceptibility to stress relief cracking after welding is increased.

Nickel (Ni)

Nickel (Ni) is effective for improvement in toughness while improving incineration.

The nickel (Ni) is preferably added in an amount of 0.1 to 0.2% by weight based on the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. When the content of nickel (Ni) is less than 0.1% by weight of the total weight of the steel, the effect of addition thereof can not be exhibited properly. On the contrary, when the content of nickel (Ni) exceeds 0.2 wt% of the total weight of the steel, the cold workability of the steel is deteriorated. Also, the addition of excessive nickel (Ni) greatly increases the manufacturing cost of the steel.

Chromium (Cr)

Chromium (Cr) is a ferrite stabilizing element and contributes to strength improvement. Chromium (Cr) also plays a role in enlarging the delta ferrite region and shifting the hypo-peritectic region to the high carbon side to improve the slab surface quality.

The chromium (Cr) is preferably added in a content ratio of 0.15 to 0.25% by weight based on the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. If the content of chromium (Cr) is less than 0.15% by weight of the total weight of the steel, the addition effect can not be exhibited properly. On the contrary, if the content of Cr exceeds 0.25% by weight of the total weight of the steel, excessive toughness of the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) may occur during steel pipe manufacturing.

Molybdenum (Mo)

Molybdenum (Mo) is a substitutional element and improves the strength of steel by solid solution strengthening effect. In addition, molybdenum (Mo) serves to improve the hardenability of the steel.

The molybdenum (Mo) is preferably added in an amount of 0.01 to 0.08% by weight based on the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. If the content of molybdenum (Mo) is less than 0.01% by weight of the total weight of the steel, the above effects can not be exhibited properly. On the other hand, when the content of molybdenum (Mo) exceeds 0.08% by weight of the total weight of the steel material, there is a problem of raising the manufacturing cost without any further effect.

Vanadium (V)

Vanadium (V) plays a role in improving the strength of steel through precipitation strengthening effect by precipitate formation.

The vanadium (V) is preferably limited to a content ratio of 0.02 to 0.03% by weight of the total weight of the steel according to the present invention. When the content of vanadium (V) is less than 0.02% by weight of the total weight of the steel, precipitation strengthening effect due to vanadium addition is insufficient. On the contrary, when the content of vanadium (V) exceeds 0.03% by weight of the total weight of the steel material, the low-temperature impact toughness is deteriorated.

Calcium (Ca)

Calcium (Ca) is added for the purpose of improving electrical resistance weldability by inhibiting the formation of MnS inclusions by forming CaS inclusions. That is, calcium (Ca) has a higher affinity with sulfur than manganese (Mn), so CaS inclusions are formed and CaS inclusions are reduced when calcium is added. Such MnS is stretched during hot rolling to cause hook defects and the like in electrical resistance welding (ERW), so that electrical resistance weldability can be improved.

The calcium (Ca) is preferably added in an amount of 0.0001 to 0.0020 wt% of the total weight of the steel material according to the present invention. When the content of calcium (Ca) is less than 0.0001 wt% of the total weight of the steel sheet, the MnS control effect can not be exerted properly. On the contrary, when the content of calcium (Ca) exceeds 0.0020% by weight of the total weight of the steel sheet, generation of CaO inclusions is excessive, which deteriorates performance and electrical resistance weldability.

Pressure vessel steel manufacturing method

FIG. 1 is a process flow chart showing a method of manufacturing a pressure vessel steel material according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a method of manufacturing a pressure vessel steel according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a slab reheating step S110, a hot rolling step S120, a first cooling step S130, a normalizing heat treatment step S140, And a secondary cooling step (S150). At this time, the slab reheating step (S110) is not necessarily performed, but it is more preferable to carry out the step to derive effects such as reuse of precipitates.

In the pressure vessel steel material manufacturing method according to the present invention, the semi-finished slab plate to be subjected to the hot rolling is composed of 0.14 to 0.18% of C, 0.3 to 0.4% of Si, 1.0 to 1.2% of Mn, 0.02 0.1 to 0.2% of Cr, 0.15 to 0.25% of Cr, 0.01 to 0.08% of Mo, 0.1 to 0.2% of Cr, 0.01 to 0.02% of S, 0.01 to 0.02% of Nb, 0.02 to 0.03% of V, 0.0001 to 0.0020% of Ca, and the balance of iron (Fe) and unavoidable impurities.

Reheating slabs

In the slab reheating step S110, the steel slab having the above composition is reheated. In this step, the slab reheating temperature (SRT) is preferably 1010 to 1050 占 폚, and more preferably 1020 to 1040 占 폚. The reason why the slab is reheated in the relatively low temperature region as in the above temperature range is to improve the low temperature impact characteristic through microstructure.

In this slab reheating step S110, the segregated components are reused through reheating of the steel slab.

At this time, when the slab reheating temperature (SRT) is less than 1010 DEG C, there is a problem that the reheating temperature is too low to increase the rolling load. In addition, since the Nb-based precipitates NbC and NbN can not reach the solid solution temperature, they can not be precipitated as fine precipitates upon hot rolling, and the austenite grain growth can not be suppressed, resulting in a rapid coarsening of the austenite grains. On the other hand, when the slab reheating temperature exceeds 1050 DEG C, the austenite grains are rapidly coarsened and it is difficult to secure the strength and low temperature toughness of the steel to be produced.

Hot rolling

In the hot rolling step (S120), the reheated steel slab is hot-rolled under FRT (Finish Rolling Temperature): 860 to 900 ° C.

At this time, when the final hot rolling temperature (FRT) is lower than 860 ° C, problems such as the occurrence of blistering due to abnormal reverse rolling may occur. On the other hand, when the final hot rolling temperature (FRT) exceeds 900 ° C, the austenite grains are coarsened and the ferrite grain refinement after the transformation is not sufficiently performed, which may make it difficult to secure the strength.

At this time, in the present invention, the average rolling reduction per pass is preferably 5 to 15% so that sufficient rolling can be performed for each pass. If the average rolling reduction per pass is less than 5%, strain can not be sufficiently applied to the center of the thickness, so that it may be difficult to secure fine crystal grains after cooling. On the other hand, when the average reduction rate per pass is more than 15%, there is a problem that the production becomes impossible due to the load of the rolling mill.

Primary cooling

In the primary cooling step (S130), the hot-rolled steel is first cooled to room temperature. Here, the primary cooling may be air cooling which is carried out in a natural cooling manner up to room temperature. At this time, the normal temperature may be 1 to 40 ° C, but is not limited thereto.

In this step, the primary cooling rate may be 1 to 50 DEG C / sec, but is not limited thereto. When the primary cooling rate is less than 1 캜 / sec, it is difficult to secure sufficient strength and toughness. On the other hand, when the primary cooling rate exceeds 50 DEG C / sec, cooling control is difficult, and excessive cooling may lower the economical efficiency.

Normalizing heat treatment

In the normalizing heat treatment step (S140), the primary cooled steel is subjected to a normalizing heat treatment.

At this time, the normalizing heat treatment temperature is preferably 870 to 910 ° C. In this step, when the normalizing heat treatment temperature is less than 870 ° C, it is difficult to reuse the solute elements, so that it may be difficult to secure sufficient strength. On the other hand, when the normalizing heat treatment temperature exceeds 910 ° C, crystal grains are grown to deteriorate low-temperature toughness.

On the other hand, the normalizing heat treatment time is preferably 120 to 240 minutes, because if the normalizing heat treatment time is out of the above range, the residual stress can not be easily removed.

Secondary cooling

In the second cooling step (S150), the normalized heat-treated steel is secondarily cooled.

The secondary cooling may be air cooling, which is conducted in a natural cooling manner. At this time, the normal temperature may be 1 to 40 ° C, but is not limited thereto.

The pressure vessel steels manufactured in the above-described processes (S110 to S150) have a fine and uniform structure in the thickness direction, so that the impact absorption energy at -50 ° C satisfies 70 J or more, -weld heat treatment), the impact absorption energy at -50 ° C: 40 J or more can be satisfied.

Therefore, the pressure vessel steel material according to the present invention has a composite structure including ferrite and pearlite and has a final tensile strength (TS) of 485 to 620 MPa, a yield strength (YS) of 260 MPa or more and an elongation (EL) of 21 %.

1. Preparation of specimens

The specimens according to Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were prepared with the compositions of Tables 1 and 2 and the process conditions of Table 3. At this time, in the case of the hot-rolled samples according to Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, ingots having the respective compositions were prepared and subjected to heating, hot rolling, primary cooling, normalizing heat treatment and secondary Cooling was performed. At this time, the primary cooling and the secondary cooling were performed by a natural cooling method. Thereafter, tensile tests and low-temperature impact tests were conducted on the specimens prepared according to Examples 1 to 4 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2.

Figure pat00004

Tensile Strength (TS): 485 to 620 MPa, Yielding Strength (YS): 260 MPa or more, elongation (EL) corresponding to the target value in the specimens prepared according to Examples 1 to 4, : 21% or more, and the impact absorption energy at -50 캜: 70 J or more. Further, in the case of the specimens produced according to Examples 1 to 4, it can be seen that the carbon content (Ceq) satisfies all 0.43 or less.

On the other hand, most of the alloy components are added in a similar amount, except that some of the alloy components are not added as compared to Example 1, but the slab reheating temperature (SRT) and the finish hot rolling temperature (FRT) (TS), yield strength (YS), and elongation (EL) of the specimens prepared according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were all within the target values, but the impact absorption energy at -50 ° C: 61J and 52J, respectively. Further, in the case of the specimens produced according to Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be seen that the carbon content (Ceq) deviates from the range suggested by the present invention.
