Definitions

  • This application is directed to an electric resistance welded steel pipe excellent in terms of fatigue characteristic.
  • Patent Literature 1 discloses a hollow drive axis which is made from a seamless steel pipe as a raw material, having a steel chemical composition controlled to be within a specified range, which is excellent not only in terms of cold workability as indicated by an austenite grain size number of 9 or more after a quenching treatment has been performed but also in terms of hardenability, toughness, and torsion fatigue strength (hereinafter, also simply referred to as fatigue strength), and which realizes a stable fatigue life.
  • Patent Literature 2 discloses a technique for increasing the strength of a steel pipe by using an electric resistance welded steel pipe having a steel chemical composition controlled to be within a specified range as a raw material and by performing a quenching-tempering treatment on a weld of ERW and a portion around the weld as a hardening treatment.
  • an electric resistance welded steel pipe is superior to a seamless steel pipe in terms of dimension accuracy
  • normalizing is not performed, there is a risk in that, since an electric resistance welded steel pipe has low toughness, brittle failure may occur in a practical use environment.
  • a drive shaft since local stress concentration occurs in a weld of ERW and in the vicinity of the weld due to cyclic shearing stress and bending stress being applied, there is a risk in that fatigue breaking may occur in a short time. Therefore, normalizing is a treatment which is very important in order to use an electric resistance welded steel pipe for a drive shaft and which significantly influences the properties of a steel pipe as a final product.
  • An object of disclosed embodiments is, in order to solve the problems described above, to provide an electric resistance welded steel pipe whose metallic microstructure and tensile strength after normalizing has been performed are less likely to be influenced by a cooling rate when normalizing is performed even in the case where high-carbon steel is used as a raw material of an electric resistance welded steel pipe and with which stable fatigue strength can be achieved.
  • Hot-reduced steel pipes (having an outer diameter of 45 mm and a wall thickness of 4.5 mm) were manufactured by using a hot-rolled steel sheets (coiled at a coiling temperature of 650° C.) having a basic chemical composition in accordance with the steel specification SAE1541 (containing 0.42% C,1.5% Mn,0.0035% N) and Al in various amounts as a raw material, by performing roll forming and high-frequency resistance welding on the raw material in order to manufacture electric resistance welded steel pipes (having an outer diameter of 89 mm and a wall thickness of 4.7 mm), and by thereafter performing hot reducing on the formed and welded pipes.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates the relationship between a cooling rate for normalizing and HV hardness (Vickers hardness). It is clarified that, in the case where the Al content is 0.005% or less, almost constant HV hardness is achieved for a wide cooling rate range, that, in the case where the Al content is 0.007% or more, HV hardness is strongly influenced by the cooling rate, and that, in the case where the cooling rate is low, there is a sharp decrease in HV hardness.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the relationship between the Al content and a lamellar spacing
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the relationship between the Al content and a prior austenite grain size
  • FIG. 4 illustrates the relationship between the Al content and torsion fatigue strength.
  • the cooling rate for normalizing was 1° C./sec.
  • the prior austenite grain size increases with decreasing Al content, and the torsion fatigue strength increases along with the prior austenite grain size. It is clarified that, in the case where the Al content is 0.005% or less, such an effect becomes saturated and that the torsion fatigue strength also becomes stable.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates the results of the cross-section observation of the fracture portion after a fatigue test had been performed
  • FIG. 5( a ) and FIG. 5 ( b ) respectively illustrate the fatigue crack propagation situations for a material containing 0.03%-Al and a material containing 0.003%-Al.
  • the crack propagation route is indicated with a white line. It was found that fatigue crack starts from the outer surface side of a pipe and then propagates through a winding path made of soft pro-eutectoid ferrite.
  • the reason why hardness varies depending on the Al content in a low cooling rate region in FIG. 1 is because, in the case where the Al content is high, since the growth of austenite grains is suppressed in a normalizing process due to the pinning effect of aluminum nitride (AlN) which has been precipitated before normalizing is performed, and, at the same time, since there is an increase in the lamellar spacing of pearlite which is finally formed, there is a decrease in hardness.
  • a decrease in hardness is significant particularly in a low cooling rate region, in which quenching effect is less likely to be realized, and significantly depends on the Al content (the amount of AlN precipitated) in steel.

Therefore, it is preferable that the S content be 0.005% or less, or more preferably 0.003% or less.
  • Al is an important chemical element in embodiments in order to achieve the desired prior austenite grain size accompanied by satisfactory torsion fatigue strength, since, in the case where the Al content is more than 0.005%, a pinning effect is realized in a normalizing process due to an increase in the amount of AlN precipitated, which results in the desired austenite grain size not being achieved due to the growth of austenite grains being suppressed.

  • a lamellar spacing of the pearlite was determined using a method of section, by performing a nital corrosion treatment on a cross-section in the circumferential direction of the steel pipe in the similar way as described above, and by taking photographs of 10 microscopic fields in which cementite layers were arranged as much at a right angle as possible to the paper plane using an electron scanning microscope of 20,000 times power, and the average value of the determined values was used as a representative value.
  • the fatigue strength ⁇ w of the steel pipe was determined by performing a torsion fatigue test under conditions that the frequency was 3 Hz, the wave shape was a sine wave, and the stress ratio R was ⁇ 1 (reversed vibration).
  • ⁇ w was defined as the stress with which a fracture did not occur even after the number of the cycles reaches 2 million.

  • the electric resistance welded steel pipes according to embodiments are all excellent in terms of strength stability as indicated by the small deviation of strength caused by the change in the cooling rate for normalizing, had high fatigue crack propagation resistance as indicated by the strength stability, the small lamellar spacing, and the large prior austenite grain size, and stably had high torsion fatigue strength.
  • the tensile strength was low in the case where the cooling rate for normalizing was in the lower range, and the torsion fatigue strength was low.
  • the cooling rate was in the higher range, although the difference from the examples according to embodiments in tensile strength was small, the torsion fatigue strength was lower than that of the examples of embodiments. The reason for that is thought to be because of the difference in the prior austenite grain size and because of the difference in the strength of pearlite.
  • a hot-rolled steel sheet was used as a raw material of an electric resistance welded steel pipe in the present examples, disclosed embodiments are not limited to the examples, and a cold-rolled steel strip may be used as the raw material of a steel pipe.
  • an ordinary electric resistance welded steel pipe which has not been subjected to hot reducing, may be used as a steel pipe which is subjected to cold drawing.
