Definitions

  • the present invention refers to the field of the ferritic stainless steels usable in the manufacture of high temperature resistant products.
  • Object of the present invention is a ferritic stainless steel that, by virtue of its composition and of suitable thermo-mechanical treatments, is suitable for the manufacture of products exhibiting high performances at high temperatures, in particular for the manufacture of vehicle exhaust manifold systems.
  • ferritic stainless steels by virtue of their smaller thermal expansion coefficient, are preferred to the austenitic ones.
  • ferritic stainless steels are adopted for the manufacture of vehicle exhaust system components working at temperatures reaching 750° C.
  • cast iron had longtime been preferred to ferritic stainless steels.
  • the adoption of the former material proved unsatisfactory due to the occurrence of drawbacks related to the weight increases, the entailed fuel consumption, and the design difficulty due to the high thickness of the component thus manufactured.
  • object of the present invention is a ferritic stainless steel, comprising the following chemical elements expressed in percentage by weight: Cr 14.0-20.0 Al 0.50-1.50 Zr 0.10-0.50 Si 0.30-1.50 Ti 0.10-0.35 Nb 0.25-0.55 C ⁇ 0.035 N ⁇ 0.035
  • the ferritic stainless steel according to the present invention may also comprise Yttrium and/or rare earth elements in a percentage by weight comprised in the range 0.10-0.30.
  • the present invention further encompasses strips or sheets made of steel according to the invention, weldable, formable and highly resistant to oxidation and creep.
  • a further object of the present invention is a process for the preparing of the strips or sheets, wherein the steel according to the invention is subjected to the following steps:
  • the present invention encompasses the use of the ferritic stainless steel according to the invention for the manufacture of products in form of flat bloom, strip, ingot, casting, forging or semimanufactured item, as well as the flat blooms, the strips, the ingots, the castings, the forgings and the semimanufactured items made therewith.
  • the present invention further refers to the use of the steel strip or sheet according to the invention for the production of pipes or of pipe-derivable products.
  • the pipes thus manufactured can be weldless or welded, even longitudinally welded. Also the pipes and the pipe-derivable products manufactured with said steel strips or sheets are an object of the present invention.
  • the invention also refers to high temperature exhaust system components, in particular to vehicle exhaust manifolds.
  • the ferritic stainless steel of the invention exhibits the desired features, in particular a resistance to hot cyclic oxidation, by virtue of an apt synergy of chemical elements like Chromium, Aluminum, Zirconium, Silicon, Titanium, Niobium, Carbon, Nitrogen and optionally Yttrium and/or rare earth elements.
  • These features, desired at high temperatures are enhanced by the hot and/or cold rolling and by the subsequent annealing treatment of sheets and/or strips thus obtainable, during which a Zircon carbonitride precipitation occurs, optionally followed by a pickling treatment.
  • Chromium in the indicated percentages by weight, remarkably increases resistance to oxidation without promoting the formation of brittle phases.
  • Silicon and Aluminum stabilize the ferritic matrix and are accountable for the increase of resistance to hot oxidation.
  • An employ of these elements above the upper limits set forth is detrimental to steel quality in terms of formation of intermetallic phases and of increased manufacturing problems.
  • Zircon forms stable carbonitrides, whose presence influences the microstructural development during annealing of the cold-rolled items.
  • Titanium and Niobium form stable carbides and nitrides, and prevent the precipitation of Chromium nitrides and carbides onto the edge of the grains and the entailed dechroming (sensitizing) of the matrix in the vicinities thereof, further promoting the presence of an entirely ferritic structure at all temperatures, as reducing the dissolved Carbon and Nitrogen quantities.
  • Yttrium and/or rare earth elements enhance the resistance to hot oxidation in the presence of thermal and mechanical shocks due to the increased adhesion of the oxide onto the metal substrate.
  • FIG. 1 shows the weight variation per surface unit effected on samples of austenitic and of ferritic steels in order to identify a steel known to the state of the art apt to provide the best features in terms of resistance to hot cyclic oxidation, carrying out for this purpose a cyclic oxidation test according to the number of cycles at temperatures equal to 1000° C.
  • FIG. 2 shows the weight variation per surface unit in an AISI 441 steel sample of a composition known to the art, identified as apt to provide the best features to hot cyclic oxidation, carrying out for this purpose a cyclic oxidation test according to the number of cycles at temperatures equal to 1000° C.
  • FIG. 3 shows the weight variation per surface unit in a steel sample according to the invention, carrying out for this purpose a cyclic oxidation test according to the number of cycles at temperatures equal to 1000° C.
  • Ferritic stainless steels 441, 436, 429, and austenitic steels 321, 309, 310, 4828 operating at a 1000° C. temperature were tested.
  • FIG. 1 shows the weight variation per surface unit of the various steel types according to the number of cycles.
  • austenitic steels exhibit a worse behavior, with a swift weight decrease due to spalling.
  • steel 321 has a high instability and decays over a very short time.
  • steel 441 undergoes a slight weight increase, with respect to 436 and 429 steels that instead exhibit a slight weight decrease after the test.
  • the steel 441 apt to provide the best performances among known steels, was used as comparison to the steel advanced according to the present invention.
  • This conventional steel AISI 441 was prepared according to the following composition expressed as percentage by weight: C 0.016; Cr 18.18; Si 0.60; Al 0.09; Nb 0.42; Ti 0.18; Mn 0.18; Cu 0.08; N 0.012, and iron q.s. to 100.
  • Post pickling the hot strips were forwarded to cold rolling down to a 1.5 mm thickness and then annealed 40 sec at a 1080° C. temperature.
  • a steel according to the present invention is prepared, having the following composition expressed as percentage by weight: Cr 17.68; Al 0.94; Zr 0.15; Si 1.16; Ti 0.21; Nb 0.40; C 0.022; N 0.013, and substantially iron q.s. to 100.
  • the steel is cast by a casting process into flat blooms having thin thicknesses typically ranging from 50 to 90 mm, and in the example being equal to 60 mm.
  • This flat bloom obtained according to the abovedisclosed composition was heated to 1150° C., and by a subsequent hot rolling thereof strips having a thickness equal to 5 mm were produced.
  • a steel according to the present invention is prepared, having the following composition expressed as percentage by weight:
  • the steel was cast by a traditional casting process into flat blooms that were first heated to 1150° C. Then, by a subsequent hot-rolling, 5 mm thick strips were made.
