Definitions

  • the present invention relates to high strength hot rolled steel sheet for line pipe use excellent in low temperature toughness and ductile fracture arrest performance and a method of production of the same.
  • brittle fracture In line pipe in artic zones, fractures are of a concern.
  • the fractures due to the internal pressure of line pipe may be roughly divided into brittle fracture and ductile fracture.
  • the arrest of propagation of the former brittle fracture can be evaluated by a DWTT (drop weight tear test) (which evaluates the toughness of steel in low temperature ranges by the ductile fracture rate and impart absorbed energy at the time of fracture of a test piece by an impact test machine), while the arrest of propagation of the latter ductile fracture can be evaluated by the impact absorbed energy of a Charpy impact test.
  • DWTT drop weight tear test
  • steel pipe for line pipe use may be classified by production process into seamless steel pipe, UOE steel pipe, electric resistance welded steel pipe, and spiral steel pipe. These are selected in accordance with the application, size, etc.
  • seamless steel pipe in each case, flat steel sheet or steel strip is shaped into a tube, then welded to obtain a steel pipe product.
  • these welded steel pipe can be classified by the type of steel sheet used as material.
  • Hot rolled steel sheet (hot coil) of a relatively thin sheet thickness is used by electric resistance welded steel pipe and spiral steel pipe, while thick-gauge sheet material (sheet) of a thick sheet thickness is used by UOE steel pipe.
  • the latter UOE steel pipe is generally used.
  • electric resistance welded steel pipe and spiral steel pipe using the former hot rolled steel sheet as a material are advantageous. Demand for higher strength, larger diameter, and greater thickness is increasing.
  • Hot rolled steel sheet used as a material for electric resistance welded steel pipe and spiral steel pipe.
  • Hot rolled steel sheet is produced by a process including a coiling step. Due to the restrictions in capacity of coilers, it is difficult to coil a thick material at a low temperature. Therefore, the low temperature cooling stop required for quench hardening is impossible. Therefore, securing strength by quench hardening is difficult.
  • PLT 1 discloses, as art for hot rolled steel sheet achieving high strength, greater thickness, and low temperature toughness, the art of adding Ca and Si at the time of refining so as to make the inclusions spherical and, furthermore, adding the strengthening elements of Nb, Ti, Mo, and Ni and V having a crystal grain refinement effect and combining low temperature rolling and low temperature coiling.
  • this art involves a final rolling temperature of 790 to 830° C., that is, a relatively low temperature, so there is a drop in absorbed energy due to separation and a rise in rolling load due to low temperature rolling and consequently problems remain in operational stability.
  • PLT 2 discloses, as art for hot rolled steel sheet considering field weldability and excellent in both strength and low temperature toughness, the art of limiting the PCM value to keep down the rise in hardness of the weld zone and making the microstructure a bainitic ferrite single phase and, furthermore, limiting the ratio of precipitation of Nb.
  • this art also substantially requires low temperature rolling for obtaining a fine structure. There is a drop in absorbed energy due to separation and a rise in rolling load due to low temperature rolling and consequently problems remain in operational stability.
  • PLT 3 discloses the art of obtaining ultra high strength steel sheet excellent in high speed ductile fracture characteristics by making the ferrite area ratio of the microstructure 1 to 5% or over 5% to 60% and making the density of (100) of the cross-section rotated 45° from the rolling surface about the axis of the rolling direction not more than 3.
  • this art is predicated on UOE steel pipe using heavy sheet as a material. It is not art covering hot rolled steel sheet.

  • the present invention has as its object the provision of hot rolled steel sheet (hot coil) for line pipe use which can not only withstand use in regions where tough fracture resistance is demanded, but also in which API5L-X80 standard or better high strength and low temperature toughness and ductile fracture arrest performance can both be achieved even with a relatively thick sheet thickness of for example over half an inch (12.7 mm) and a method enabling that steel sheet to be produced inexpensively and stably.
  • hot coil hot rolled steel sheet
  • the present invention was made to solve the above problem and has as its gist the following:
  • a method of production of high strength hot rolled steel sheet for line pipe use excellent in low temperature toughness and ductile fracture arrest performance comprising preparing molten steel for obtaining hot rolled steel sheet having the compositions as set forth in any one of claims 1 to 3 at which time preparing the molten steel to give a concentration of Si of 0.05 to 0.2% and a concentration of dissolved oxygen of 0.002 to 0.008%, adding to the molten steel Ti in a range giving a final content of 0.005 to 0.3% for deoxidation, then adding Al within 5 minutes to give a final content of 0.005 to 0.02%, furthermore adding Ca to give a final content of 0.0005 to 0.003%, then adding the required amounts of alloy ingredient elements to cause solidification, cooling a resultant cast slab, heating the cast slab to a temperature range of an SRT (° C.) calculated by formula (1) to 1260° C., further holding the slab at the temperature range for 20 minutes or more, then hot rolling by a total reduction rate of a non-recrystallization
  • a method of production of high strength hot rolled steel sheet for line pipe use excellent in low temperature toughness and ductile fracture arrest performance as set forth in (4) characterized by cooling before rolling in the non-recrystallization temperature range.
  • a method of production of high strength hot rolled steel sheet for line pipe use excellent in low temperature toughness and ductile fracture arrest performance as set forth in (4) or (5) characterized by continuously casting the cast slab at which time lightly rolling it while controlling the amount of reduction so as to match solidification shrinkage at a final solidification position of the cast slab.
  • hot rolled steel sheet of the present invention for hot rolled steel sheet for electric resistance welded steel pipe and spiral steel pipe use in artic areas where tough fracture resistance properties are demanded, for example, even with a sheet thickness of over half an inch (12.7 mm), production of API5L-X80 standard or better high strength line pipe becomes possible. Not only this, but by using the method of production of the present invention, hot rolled steel sheet for electric resistance welded steel pipe and spiral steel pipe use can be inexpensively obtained in large volumes.
  • FIG. 1 is a view showing the relationship between the size of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides and the DWTT brittle fracture unit.
  • the present inventors etc. first investigated the relationship between the tensile strength and toughness of hot rolled steel sheet (hot coil) (in particular, the drop in Charpy absorbed energy (vE -20 ) and the temperature at which the ductile fracture rate in a DWTT becomes 85% temperature (FATT 85% )) and the microstructure etc. of steel sheet. They investigated this assuming the API5L-X80 standard. As a result, the present inventors etc.
  • Zw as a structure observed under an optical microscope, as shown in the above reference literature, pages 125 to 127, is defined as a microstructure mainly comprised of bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ ° B ), granular bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ 8 ), and quasi-polygonal ferrite ( ⁇ q ) and furthermore containing small amounts of residual austenite ( ⁇ r ) and martensite-austenite (MA).
  • ⁇ q like polygonal ferrite (PF), does not reveal its internal structure by etching, but is acicular in shape and is clearly differentiated from PF.
  • the circumferential length of the crystal grain covered is lq and its circle equivalent diameter is dq
  • the grains with a ratio of the same (lq/dq) satisfying lq/dq ⁇ 3.5 are ⁇ q .
  • the “fraction of a microstructure” is defined as the area fraction of the above continuously cooled transformed structure in the microstructure.
  • This continuously cooled transformed structure is formed since the Mn, Nb, V, Mo, Cr, Cu, Ni, and other strengthening elements added for securing strength when reducing the amount of addition of C cause an improvement in the quenchability. It is believed that when the microstructure is a continuously cooled transformed structure, the microstructure does not contain cementite and other coarse carbides, so the Charpy absorbed energy (vE -20 ), the indicator of the ductile fracture arrest performance, is improved.
  • the inventors etc. studied in detail the relationship between microstructures forming continuously cooled transformed structures and the FATT 85% indicator of low temperature toughness. They thereby found the trend that if the fraction of the granular bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ B ) or quasi-polygonal ferrite ( ⁇ q ) forming the continuously cooled transformed structures increases and the fraction becomes 50% or more, the fracture unit becomes a circle equivalent diameter of 30 ⁇ m or less and the FATT 85% becomes good. Conversely, they found the trend that if the fraction of the bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ ° B ) increases, the fracture unit conversely coarsens and the FATT 85% deteriorates.
  • the bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ ° B ) forming a continuously cooled transformed structure is separated into a plurality of regions in the grain boundaries separated by the prior austenite grain boundaries and, furthermore, with crystal orientations in the same direction. These are called “packets”.
  • the effective crystal grain size which is directly related to the fracture unit, corresponds to this packet size. That is, it is believed that if the austenite grains before transformation are coarse, the packet size also becomes coarse, the effective crystal grain size coarsens, the fracture unit coarsens, and the FATT 85% deteriorates.
  • Granular bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ B ) is a microstructure obtained by a more diffusive transformation than bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ ° B ) which occurs in a shearing manner in relatively large units even among the types of diffusive transformation.
  • Quasi-polygonal ferrite ( ⁇ q ) is a microstructure obtained by even further diffusive transformation.
  • this is not comprised of packets of a plurality of separate regions in the grain boundaries separated by the austenite grain boundaries and with crystal orientations in the same direction, but is granular bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ B ) or quasi-polygonal ferrite ( ⁇ q ) with the grains after transformation themselves in numerous orientations, so the effective crystal grain size, directly related to the fracture units, corresponds to the grain size of the same. For this reason, it is believed that the fracture units become finer and the FATT 85% is improved.
  • the inventors etc. engaged in further studies of the steel ingredients and production processes giving 50% or more fractions of granular bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ 8 ) or quasi-polygonal ferrite ( ⁇ q ) of structures forming a continuously cooled transformed structure.
  • the inventors etc. investigated the microstructures in more detail, whereupon they found a good correlation between the fracture units after a DWTT test and the size of precipitates containing Ti nitrides. They confirmed the trend that if the average circle equivalent diameter of the size of precipitates containing Ti nitrides is 0.1 to 3 ⁇ m, the fracture unit after a DWTT test becomes finer and the FATT 85% is clearly improved.
  • the size and dispersion density of precipitates containing Ti nitrides can be controlled by deoxidation control in the smelting process. That is, they discovered that only when optimally adjusting the concentration of Si and the concentration of dissolved oxygen in the molten steel, adding Ti for deoxidation, then adding Al and further adding Ca in that order, the dispersion density of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides becomes 10 1 to 10 3 /mm 2 in range and the FATT 85% becomes good.
  • the precipitates containing Ti nitrides include, in at least half by number, complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al. Further, they newly discovered that by the optimum dispersion of these oxides, which form the nuclei for precipitation of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides, the precipitation size and dispersion density of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides are optimized and the austenite grain size before transformation kept fine as it is due to suppression of grain growth due to the pinning effect and that if the fraction of granular bainitic ferrite ( ⁇ 8 ) or quasi-polygonal ferrite ( ⁇ q ) transformed from the fine grain austenite becomes 50% or more, the FATT 85% indicator of low temperature toughness becomes good.
  • complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al form over half of the total number of oxides. These fine oxides disperse in a high concentration.
  • the average circle equivalent diameter of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides precipitating from these dispersed fine oxides as nucleation sites becomes 0.1 to 3 ⁇ m, so it is believed that the balance between the dispersion density and size is optimized, the pinning effect is exhibited to the maximum extent, and the effect of refining the austenite grain size before transformation becomes maximized.
  • the complex oxides are allowed to contain some Mg, Ce, and Zr.
  • the % for the compositions means mass %.
  • C is an element necessary for obtaining the targeted strength (strength required by API5L-X80 standard) and microstructure.
  • the amount of addition of C is made 0.02% to 0.06%.
  • not more than 0.05% is preferable.
  • Si has the effect of suppressing the precipitation of carbides—which form starting points of fracture. For this reason, at least 0.05% is added. However, if adding over 0.5%, the field weldability deteriorates. If considering general use from the viewpoint of field weldability, not more than 0.3% is preferable. Furthermore, if over 0.15%, tiger stripe-like scale patterns are liable to be formed and the beauty of the surface impaired, so preferably the upper limit should be made 0.15%.
  • Mn is a solution strengthening element. Further, it has the effect of broadening the austenite region temperature to the low temperature side and facilitating the formation of a continuously cooled transformed structure, one of the constituent requirements of the microstructure of the present invention, during the cooling after the end of rolling. To obtain this effect, at least 1% is added. However, even if adding over 2% of Mn, the effect becomes saturated, so the upper limit is made 2%. Further, Mn promotes center segregation in a continuous casting steel slab and causes the formation of hard phases forming starting points of fracture, so the content is preferably made not more than 1.8%.
  • P is an impurity and preferably is as low in content as possible. If over 0.03% is contained, this segregates at the center part of a continuous casting steel slab and causes grain boundary fracture and remarkably lowers the low temperature toughness, so the content is made not more than 0.03%. Furthermore, P has a detrimental effect on pipemaking and field weldability, so if considering this, the content is preferably made not more than 0.015%.
  • S is an impurity. It not only causes cracks at the time of hot rolling, but also, if too great in content, causes deterioration of the low temperature toughness. Therefore, the content is made not more than 0.005%. Furthermore, S segregates near the center of a continuous casting steel slab, forms elongated MnS after rolling, and forms starting points for hydrogen induced cracking. Not only this, “two sheet cracking” and other pseudo-separation are liable to occur. Therefore, if considering the sour resistance, the content is preferably not more than 0.001%.
  • O is an element required for causing dispersion of a large number of fine oxides at the time of deoxidation of molten steel, so at least 0.0005% is added, but if the content is too great, it will form coarse oxides forming starting points of fracture in the steel and cause deterioration of the brittle fracture and hydrogen induced cracking resistance, so the content is made not more than 0.003%. Furthermore, from the viewpoint of the field weldability, a content of not more than 0.002% is preferable.
  • Al is an element required for causing dispersion of a large number of fine oxides at the time of deoxidation of molten steel. To obtain this effect, at least 0.005% is added. On the other hand, if excessively adding this, the effect is lost, so the upper limit is made 0.03%.
  • Nb is one of the most important elements in the present invention. Nb suppresses the recovery/recrystallization and grain growth of austenite during rolling or after rolling by the dragging effect in the solid solution state and/or the pinning effect as a carbonitride precipitate, makes the effective crystal grain size finer, and reduces the fracture unit in crack propagation of brittle fracture, so has the effect of improving the low temperature toughness. Furthermore, in the coiling process, a feature of the hot rolled steel sheet production process, it forms fine carbides and, by the precipitation strengthening of the same, contributes to the improvement of the strength.
  • Nb delays the ⁇ / ⁇ transformation and lowers the transformation temperature and thereby has the effect of stably making the microstructure after transformation a continuously cooled transformed structure even at a relatively slow cooling rate.
  • at least 0.05% must be added.
  • adding over 0.12% not only do the effects become saturated, but also formation of a solid solution in the heating process before hot rolling becomes difficult, coarse carbonitrides are formed and form starting points of fracture, and therefore the low temperature toughness and sour resistance are liable to be degraded.
  • Ti is one of the most important elements in the present invention. Ti starts to precipitate as a nitride at a high temperature right after solidification of a cast slab obtained by continuous casting or ingot casting. These precipitates containing Ti nitrides are stable at a high temperature and will not dissolve at all even during subsequent slab reheating, so exhibit a pinning effect, suppress the coarsening of austenite grains during reheating, refine the microstructure, and thereby improve the low temperature toughness. Further, Ti has the effect of suppressing the formation of nuclei for formation of ferrite in ⁇ / ⁇ transformation and promoting the formation of the continuously cooled transformed structure of one of the requirements of the present invention. To obtain such an effect, addition of at least 0.005% of Ti is required.
  • Ti is an element required for causing dispersion of a large number of fine oxides at the time of deoxidation of the molten steel.
  • precipitates containing Ti nitrides finely crystallize or precipitate, so this also has the effect of reducing the average circle equivalent diameter of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides and cause dense dispersion and thereby the effect of suppressing recovery/recrystallization of austenite during rolling or after rolling and also suppressing grain growth of ferrite after coiling.
  • Ca is an element required for causing dispersion of a large number of fine oxides at the time of deoxidation of molten steel. To obtain that effect, at least 0.0005% is added. On the other hand, even if adding more than 0.003%, the effect becomes saturated, so the upper limit is made 0.003%. Further, Ca, in the same way as REM, is an element which changes the form of nonmetallic inclusions, which would otherwise form starting points for fracture and cause deterioration of the sour resistance, to render them harmless.
  • N forms precipitates containing Ti nitrides, suppresses coarsening of austenite grains during slab reheating to make the austenite grain size, which is correlated with the effective crystal grain size in the later controlled rolling, finer, and makes the microstructure a continuously cooled transformed structure to thereby improve the low temperature toughness.
  • the content is less than 0.0015%, that effect cannot be obtained.
  • the ductility falls and the shapeability at the time of pipemaking falls.
  • N ⁇ 14/48 ⁇ Ti ⁇ 0% As explained before, if the N content becomes less than the stoichiometric composition with Ti (N ⁇ 14/48 ⁇ Ti ⁇ 0%), the residual Ti will bond with C and the finely precipitating TiC is liable to cause deterioration of the low temperature toughness. Furthermore, with a stoichiometric composition of Nb, Ti, and N of Nb ⁇ 93/14 ⁇ (N ⁇ 14/48 ⁇ Ti) ⁇ 0.05%, the amount of fine precipitates containing Nb formed in the coiling process decreases and the strength falls. Therefore, N ⁇ 14/48 ⁇ Ti ⁇ 0% and Nb ⁇ 93/14 ⁇ (N ⁇ 14/48 ⁇ Ti)>0.05% are defined.
  • V forms fine carbonitrides in the coiling process and contributes to the improvement of the strength by precipitation strengthening. However, even if adding more than 0.3%, that effect becomes saturated, so the content was made not more than 0.3% (not including 0%). Further, if adding 0.04% or more, there is a concern over reduction of the field weldability, so less than 0.04% is preferable.
  • Mo has the effect of enhancement of the quenchability and improvement of the strength. Further, Mo, in the copresence of Nb, has the effect of strongly suppressing the recrystallization of austenite during controlled rolling, making the austenite structure finer, and improving the low temperature toughness. However, even if adding over 0.3%, the effect becomes saturated, so the content is made not more than 0.3% (not including 0%). Further, if adding 0.1% or more, there is a concern that the ductility will fall and the shapeability when forming pipe will fall, so less than 0.1% is preferable.
  • Cu has the effect of improvement of the corrosion resistance and the hydrogen induced cracking resistance. However, even if adding more than 0.3%, the effect becomes saturated, so the content is made not more than 0.3% (not including 0%). Further, if adding 0.2% or more, embrittlement cracking is liable to occur at the time of hot rolling and to become a cause of surface defects, so less than 0.2% is preferable.
  • Ni compared with Mn or Cr and Mo, forms fewer hard structures harmful to the low temperature toughness and sour resistance in the rolled structure (in particular, the center segregation zone of the slab) and therefore has the effect of improving the strength without causing deterioration of the low temperature toughness and field weldability.
  • the effect becomes saturated, so the content is made not more than 0.3% (not including 0%).
  • there is an effect of prevention of hot embrittlement of Cu so at least 1 ⁇ 2 of the amount of the Cu is added as a general rule.
  • B has the effect of improving the quenchability and facilitating the formation of a continuously cooled transformed structure. Furthermore, B has the effect of enhancing the effect of improvement of the quenchability of Mo and of increasing the quenchability synergistically with the copresence of Nb. Therefore, this is added as required. However, if less than 0.0002%, this is not enough for obtaining those effects, while if adding over 0.003%, slab cracking occurs.
  • REMs are elements which change the form of nonmetallic inclusions, which would otherwise form starting points of fracture and cause deterioration of the sour resistance, to render them harmless.
  • adding less than 0.0005% there is no such effect, while if adding over 0.02%, large amounts of the oxides are formed resulting in the formation of clusters and coarse inclusions which cause deterioration of the low temperature toughness of the weld seams and have a detrimental effect on the field weldability as well.
  • the microstructure of the steel sheet in the present invention will be explained in detail.
  • the microstructure must have nanometer size precipitates containing Nb densely dispersed in it.
  • a microstructure containing cementite and other coarse carbides must not be included.
  • the effective crystal grain size must be reduced.
  • thin film observation using a transmission type electron microscope or measurement by the 3D atom probe method is effective. Therefore, the inventors etc. used the 3D atom probe method for measurement.
  • the size of the precipitates containing Nb extended between 0.5 to 5 nm and the average size was 1 to 3 nm.
  • the measurement results of the precipitates containing Nb distributed at a density of 1 to 50 ⁇ 10 22 /m 3 and having an average density of 3 to 30 ⁇ 10 22 /m 3 were obtained.
  • the average size of the precipitates containing Nb if less than 1 nm, is too small and therefore the precipitation strengthening ability is not sufficiently manifested, while if over 3 nm, the precipitates are transitory, the match with the base phase is lost, and the effect of precipitation strengthening is reduced.
  • the average density of the precipitates containing Nb is less than 3 ⁇ 10 22 /m 3 , the density is not sufficient for precipitation strengthening, while if over 30 ⁇ 10 22 /m 3 , the low temperature toughness deteriorates.
  • the “average” is the arithmetic average of the number.
  • an FIB (focused ion beam) apparatus/FB2000A made by Hitachi Ltd. was used, and a cut out sample was electrolytically ground to a needle shape by using a freely shaped scanning beam to make the grain boundary part a needle point shape.
  • the sample was given contrast at the crystal grains differing in orientation by the channeling phenomenon of an SIM (scan electron microscope) and, while observing this, was cut at a position including a plurality of grain boundaries by an ion beam.
  • the apparatus used as the 3D atom probe was an OTAP made by CAMECA.
  • the measurement conditions were a sample position temperature of about 70K, a probe total voltage of 10 to 15 kV, and a pulse ratio of 25%. Each sample was measured three times and the average value used as the representative value.
  • the continuously cooled transformed structure in the present invention is a microstructure containing one or more of ⁇ ° B , ⁇ B , ⁇ q , ⁇ r , and MA, but here, since ⁇ ° B , ⁇ B , and ⁇ q do not contain cementite or other coarse carbides, if their fraction is large, an improvement in the absorbed energy indicator of ductile fracture arrest performance can be expected. Furthermore, small amounts of ⁇ r and MA may be included, but the total amount should be not more than 3%.
  • the microstructure To improve the low temperature toughness, to reduce the effective crystal grain size, it is not enough just that the microstructure have a continuously cooled transformed structure. It is necessary that the ⁇ B and/or ⁇ q structures forming the continuously cooled transformed structure be 50% or more in fraction in the continuously cooled transformed structure. If the fraction of these microstructures is 50% or more, the effective crystal grain size, which is directly related with the fracture unit considered the main influential factor in cleavage fracture propagation in brittle fracture, becomes finer and the low temperature toughness is improved.
  • the average circle equivalent diameter of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides has to be 0.1 to 3 ⁇ m and, furthermore, at least half of them by number have to contain complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al. That is, to obtain, as a fraction, 50% or more of the ⁇ B and/or ⁇ q structures forming the continuously cooled transformed structure, it is important to make the austenite grain size before transformation finer. For this reason, the average circle equivalent diameter of the size of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides has to be 0.1 to 3 ⁇ m (preferably 2 ⁇ m or less) and the density has to be 10 1 to 10 3 /mm 2 .
  • the oxides of Ca, Ti, and Al forming the precipitation nuclei of these be optimally dispersed. Due to this, the precipitation size and dispersion density of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides are optimized, the austenite grain size before transformation is kept fine due to suppression of grain growth by the pinning effect, and therefore the austenite can be made finer. As a result, it is learned that at least half of the number of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides should contain complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al. Note that, the complex oxides are allowed to contain some Mg, Ce, and Zr. Further, here, the “average” is the arithmetic average of the number.
  • the process up to the primary refining by a converter or electric furnace is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient to tap the pig iron from a blast furnace, then dephosphorize, desulfurize, and otherwise pretreat the molten pig iron, then refine it by a converter or to melt scrap or other cold iron sources by an electric furnace etc.
  • the secondary refining process after the primary refining is one of the most important production processes of the present invention. That is, to obtain the precipitates containing Ti nitrides of the targeted composition and size, complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al must be made to finely disperse in the steel in the deoxidation process. This can first be realized by successively adding weak deoxidizing elements to strong deoxidizing elements in the deoxidation process (successive strength deoxidation).
  • “Successive strength deoxidation” is a deoxidation method which makes use of the phenomenon that by adding strong deoxidizing elements to molten steel in which weak deoxidizing element oxides are present, the weak deoxidizing element oxides are reduced and oxygen is released in a state of a slow feed rate and small supersaturation degree, whereupon the oxides formed from the added strong deoxidizing elements become finer.
  • the amount of Si which is a weaker deoxidizing element than even Ti, is adjusted to make the concentration of dissolved oxygen in equilibrium with the amount of Si 0.002 to 0.008%. If the concentration of the dissolved oxygen is less than 0.002%, finally a sufficient amount of complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al for reducing the size of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if over 0.008%, the complex oxides formed coarsen and the effect of reducing the size of the precipitates containing Ti nitrides is lost.
  • the concentration of S is less than 0.05%, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in equilibrium with Si becomes over 0.008%, while if over 0.2%, the concentration of dissolved oxygen in equilibrium with Si becomes less than 0.002%. Therefore, in the preceding stage of deoxidation, the concentration of S is made 0.05 to 0.2% and the concentration of dissolved oxygen is made 0.002% to 0.008%.
  • Ti is added in a range giving a final content of 0.005 to 0.3% for deoxidation
  • Al is added to give a final content of 0.005 to 0.02%.
  • the Ti oxides formed would grow, agglomerate, coarsen, and rise up together with the elapse of time after charging the Ti, so the Al is immediately charged.
  • the Al is preferably charged within 5 minutes from the charging of the Ti.
  • the amount of Al charged is one where the final content becomes less than 0.005%, the Ti oxides will grow, agglomerate, coarsen, and rise up.
  • the amount of Al charged is an amount by which the final content exceeds 0.02%, the Ti oxides will end up being completely reduced and finally complex oxides containing Ca, Ti, and Al will not be sufficiently obtained.

  • the steel is preferably cooled to less than the Ar3 transformation point temperature. Furthermore, it preferably is cooled to less than the Ar1 transformation point temperature.
  • the slab is cast with light rolling in accordance with the specifications sought.
  • Segregation of Mn etc. raises the quenchability of the segregated part to cause hardening of the structure and, together with the presence of inclusions, promotes hydrogen induced cracking.
  • the light rolling at the time of final solidification is performed so as to suppress movement of concentrated molten steel to the unsolidified part at the center, caused by the movement of concentrated molten steel due to solidification shrinkage etc., by compensating for the amount of solidification shrinkage.
  • Light rolling is performed while controlling the amount of reduction so as to be commensurate with the solidification shrinkage at the final solidification position of the cast slab. Due to this, it is possible to reduce center segregation.
  • the specific conditions of the light rolling are a roll pitch, in the facility at the position corresponding to the end of solidification where the center solid phase rate becomes 0.3 to 0.7, of 250 to 360 mm and a reduction rate, expressed by the product of the casting rate (m/min) and rolling set gradient (mm/m), of 0.7 to 1.1 mm/min in range.

  • the temperature is 1230° C. or so.
  • the slab heating time is made at least 20 minutes from reaching the above temperature so as to enable sufficient melting of the precipitates containing Nb. If less than 20 minutes, the coarse precipitates containing Nb formed at the time of slab production will not sufficiently melt, and the effect of refinement of the crystal grains due to suppression of recovery/recrystallization and grain growth of the austenite during the hot rolling and the delay of ⁇ / ⁇ transformation and the effect of the formation of fine carbides and the improvement of strength by their precipitation strengthening in the coiling process cannot be obtained.
  • the following hot rolling process usually is comprised of a rough rolling process performed by several rolling stands including a reverse rolling stand and a final rolling process performed by six to seven rolling stands arranged in tandem.
  • the rough rolling process has the advantages that the number of passes and the rolling rates at the individual passes can be freely set, but the time between passes is long and the structure is liable to recover/recrystallize between the passes.
  • the final rolling process employs a tandem setup, so the number of passes becomes the same as the number of rolling stands, but the time between passes is short and the effects of controlled rolling can be easily obtained. Therefore, to realize superior low temperature toughness, the process has to be designed making full use of the features of these rolling processes in addition to the steel ingredients.
  • the requirement of the present invention that is, the condition of the total reduction rate of the non-recrystallization temperature range being at least 65%, cannot be satisfied, so controlling rolling in the non-recrystallization temperature range may also be performed after the rough rolling process.
  • a sheet bar may be attached between the rough rolling and final rolling to enable continuous final rolling.
  • the coarse bar is coiled up once, stored in a cover having a heat retaining function if necessary, and then again unwound and attached.
  • the rolling is mainly performed in the recrystallization temperature range.
  • the reduction rates in the individual rolling passes are not limited in the present invention. However, if the reduction rates at the individual passes of the rough rolling are 10% or less, sufficient strain required for recrystallization is not introduced, grain growth occurs due to only grain boundary movement, the grains coarsen, and the low temperature toughness is liable to deteriorate, so it is preferable to perform the rolling by reduction rates over 10% in the respective rolling passes in the recrystallization temperature range.
  • the reduction rates at the rolling passes in the recrystallization temperature range are 25% or more, particularly in the later low temperature range, dislocation cell walls will be formed due to the repeated introduction of dislocations and recovery during the rolling and dynamic recrystallization involving a change from sub-grain to large angle grain boundaries will occur.
  • a structure like a microstructure mainly comprised of such dynamic recrystallization grains where high dislocation density grains and other grains are mixed grain growth occurs in a short time, so relatively coarse grains are liable to be grown before the non-recrystallization region rolling, grains are liable to end up being formed by the later non-recrystallization region rolling, and therefore the low temperature toughness is liable to deteriorate. Therefore, the reduction rates in the rolling passes in the recrystallization temperature range are preferably made less than 25%.
  • the rolling is performed in the non-recrystallization temperature range, but when the temperature at the end of the rough rolling does not reach the non-recrystallization temperature range, if necessary it is waited until the temperature falls to the non-recrystallization temperature range or, if necessary, cooling is performed by a cooling apparatus between the rough/final rolling stands. In the latter case, the waiting time can be shortened, so the productivity is improved. Not only that, the growth of recrystallization grains is suppressed and the low temperature toughness can be improved. This is therefore more preferable.
  • the total reduction rate in the non-recrystallization temperature range is less than 65%, the controlled rolling becomes insufficient, prior austenite grains coarsen, a granular microstructure cannot be obtained after transformation, and the effect of improvement of the FATT 85% due to the effect of refinement of the effective crystal grain size cannot be expected, so the total reduction rate in the non-recrystallization temperature range is made 65% or more. Furthermore, to obtain a superior low temperature toughness, 70% or more is preferable. On the other hand, if over 85%, the excessive rolling causes an increase in the density of the dislocations forming nuclei for ferrite transformation and causes polygonal ferrite to be mixed in the microstructure.

  • the rolling rate at the final stand is preferable less than 10%.
  • the cooling start temperature is not particularly limited, but if starting the cooling from less than the Ar 3 transformation point temperature, the microstructure will contain large amounts of polygonal ferrite and the strength is liable to drop, so the cooling start temperature is preferably at least the Ar 3 transformation point temperature.
  • the cooling rate in the temperature range from the start of cooling to 650° C. is made 2° C./sec to 50° C./sec. If this cooling rate is less than 2° C./sec, the microstructure will contain large amounts of polygonal ferrite and the strength is liable to drop. On the other hand, with a cooling rate of over 50° C./sec, heat strain is liable to cause warping, so the rate is made not more than 50° C./sec.
  • the cooling rate is made at least 15° C./sec. Furthermore, if 20° C./sec or more, it is possible to improve the strength without changing the steel ingredients and without causing deterioration of the low temperature toughness, so the cooling rate is preferably made at least 20° C./sec.

Further, coarse precipitates containing Nb will form and act as starting points for fracture and therefore the ductile fracture arresting ability, low temperature toughness, and sour resistance are liable to be degraded. On the other hand, if ending the cooling at less than 500° C. and then coiling, the fine precipitates containing Nb so effective for obtaining the target strength will not be obtained and the target strength will no longer be able to be obtained. Therefore, the temperature range for stopping the cooling and coiling is made 500° C. to 650° C.
