Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an electric resistance welded steel pipe for line pipes through which petroleum and natural gas are transported.
  • the present invention relates to a high-strength electric resistance welded steel pipe that is suitable for reel barge laying, has a high strength of Grade X60 (yield strength YS: 415 MPa or more) or more, and has excellent bendability, and a method for producing the high-strength electric resistance welded steel pipe.
  • the reel barge method is a method in which the girth welding, inspection, coating, and the like of a pipe are performed on land in advance and the resulting long pipe is coiled around a reel of a barge, and the pipe is uncoiled from the reel at a target place at sea to lay a pipeline on the sea bottom.
  • offshore pipelines can be very efficiently laid.
  • tensile stress and compressive stress due to bending and unbending are applied to a part of the pipe when the pipe is coiled and laid. Consequently, local rupture and buckling occur in the pipe used, which may cause fracture of the pipe.
  • steel pipes for pipelines laid by the reel barge method need to have excellent bendability, that is, high buckling resistance on the compressive side and high rupture resistance on the tensile side during bending deformation.
  • the buckling resistance is highly dependent on the shape uniformity of a pipe.
  • For the rupture resistance it is important to have high uniform elongation and to prevent ductile fracture.
  • Electric resistance welded steel pipes have been used as line pipes from the economical viewpoint in recent years. Electric resistance welded steel pipes have better thickness deviation and circularity than seamless steel pipes. The buckling resistance strongly affected by shape factor is higher than that of seamless steel pipes.
  • electric resistance welded steel pipes are obtained by continuously cold-rolling a hot-rolled steel sheet so as to have a substantially cylindrical shape, a considerable amount of plastic strain is introduced in the pipe axial direction, which deteriorates the uniform elongation in the pipe axial direction. Consequently, the uniform elongation of electric resistance welded steel pipes is normally lower than that of seamless steel pipes. Thus, even low strain easily causes rupture, and the rupture resistance deteriorates compared with seamless steel pipes.
  • One of methods for improving the uniform elongation of steel materials is a method that uses a TRIP (transformation induced plasticity) phenomenon of retained austenite by increasing the Si content.
  • TRIP transformation induced plasticity
  • the Si content in a steel sheet is generally increased.
  • a high-melting-point oxide formed during electric resistance welding is left in an electric resistance welded part, which deteriorates the quality of the electric resistance welded part.
  • Patent Literature 1 proposes a method for producing a high-strength steel pipe having high buckling resistance.
  • the resulting steel sheet is cooled at a cooling rate of 5° C./s or more from the temperature of Ar 3 transformation temperature [° C.] or higher, kept at (Ts ⁇ 50° C.) to (Ts+100° C.) for 30 to 300 seconds, then cooled to 350° C. to 450° C. at a cooling rate of 20° C./s or more, and then slowly cooled to obtain a steel sheet containing retained austenite left therein.
  • Ts is represented by formula (1) below.
  • Ts [° C.] 780 ⁇ 270 ⁇ C ⁇ 90 ⁇ Mn ⁇ 37 ⁇ Ni ⁇ 70 ⁇ Cr ⁇ 83 ⁇ Mo (1)
  • Patent Literature 1 In the technique described in Patent Literature 1, however, the temperature needs to be kept constant in the middle of cooling. In a hot-rolling line in which a steel sheet is cooled while being conveyed in one direction in continuously arranged cooling zones, the length of the facility needs to be considerably increased. In the technique described in Patent Literature 1, the cooling stop temperature is 350° C. to 450° C. This increases deformation resistance, which makes it difficult to coil the steel sheet. Furthermore, Patent Literature 1 does not describe an improvement in uniform elongation of a steel pipe.
  • a high-strength electric resistance welded steel pipe whose uniform elongation in a pipe axial direction is improved without performing heat treatment on the whole pipe and which has excellent bendability, and a method for producing the high-strength electric resistance welded steel pipe is provided.
  • high-strength refers to a yield strength YS of 415 MPa or more in a pipe axial direction.
  • excellent bendability herein particularly relates to rupture resistance and refers to a uniform elongation Elu of 8% or more in a pipe axial direction.
  • a high-strength electric resistance welded steel pipe including a composition containing, on a mass % basis, C: 0.04% to 0.15%, Si: 0.10% to 0.50%, Mn: 1.0% to 2.2%, P: 0.050% or less, S: 0.005% or less, Cr: 0.2% to 1.0%, Ti: 0.005% to 0.030%, and Al: 0.010% to 0.050%, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities, and a microstructure including polygonal ferrite with a volume fraction of 70% or more and retained austenite with a volume fraction of 3% to 20%, the balance being at least one selected from martensite, bainite, and pearlite, wherein the polygonal ferrite has an average grain size of 5 m or more and an aspect ratio of 1.40 or less.
