Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an austenitic steel material having high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance, and more particularly, to an austenitic steel material having high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance and suitable for applications such as high-pressure hydrogen gas tanks, pipes, and transfer facilities.
  • Hydrogen vehicles including high-pressure gas containers for storing hydrogen compressed to high pressure, are the most common type of hydrogen vehicles, and such containers are required to have high strength for durability against high pressure, low hydrogen permeability for minimizing the loss of hydrogen caused by the penetration of hydrogen, and high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance for preventing embrittlement caused by hydrogen permeation.
  • FCC-structure materials having high hydrogen permeability may be suitable therefor.
  • a representative FCC-structure material used for these applications is Cr—Ni-based austenitic stainless steel.
  • Such austenitic stainless steels are used as materials for high-pressure gas containers or liners and pipes of high-pressure gas containers owing to their high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance under high-pressure hydrogen gas environments.
  • Japanese Patent Application Laid-open Publication No. H5-98391 and International Patent Publication No. 2014-111285 disclose a technique of increasing the strength of austenitic stainless steel by cold working.
  • ductility and toughness decrease, and the stability of austenite decreases, thereby causing the formation of strain-induced martensite.
  • this technique is not suitable for hydrogen containers.
  • Korean Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2006-0018250 discloses a technique of securing the stability of austenite by performing a cold working process twice in different directions. According to the technique, however, chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni), expensive alloying elements, are added in large amounts to increase the stability of austenite, thereby incurring high costs.
  • Korean Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2011-0004491 and Korean Patent Application Laid-Open Publication No. 10-2013-0045931 disclose a technique of guaranteeing the formation of stable austenite and thus improving the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of austenitic stainless steel by replacing nickel (Ni), an expensive alloying element, with manganese (Mn), an inexpensive alloying element.
  • Ni nickel
  • Mn manganese
  • this technique still uses a large amount of an expensive alloying element, commercialization of the technique is limited in terms of economical aspects.
  • An aspect of the present disclosure may provide an austenitic steel material having high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance without expensive alloying elements.
  • an austenitic steel material having high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance may include, by wt %, carbon (C): 0.1% to 0.5%, copper (Cu): 5% or less (excluding 0%), nitrogen (N): 1% or less (excluding 0%), manganese (Mn): [Mn] ⁇ 10.7[C]+24.5, chromium (Cr): 10% or less, nickel (Ni): 5% or less, molybdenum (Mo): 5% or less, silicon (Si): 4% or less, aluminum (Al): 5% or less, and a balance of iron (Fe) and inevitable impurities, wherein the austenitic steel material has a T-El 2 /T-El 1 ratio of 0.5 or greater, where T-El 2 is an elongation at break in a tensile test performed under high-pressure hydrogen conditions of 25° C. and 70 MPa, and T-El 1 is an elongation at break in
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure has high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance without expensive alloying elements.
  • FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating carbon and manganese content ranges according to the present disclosure.
  • FIG. 2 is an image of a fracture surface of a specimen of Inventive Example 1 after a room-temperature tensile test.
  • Containers for storing and transferring hydrogen are basically required to have low hydrogen permeability, and thus it is needed to guarantee the formation of an FCC structure having low hydrogen permeability in the case of steel materials for hydrogen containers. In particular, it is necessary to stably maintain the FCC structure in spite of externally-caused deformation such as deformation caused by plastic working or plastic deformation caused by an external load applied during use.
  • the inventors have tried to improve the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of steel materials by properly adjusting a relationship between carbon and manganese while relatively decreasing the content of carbon, and as a result, the inventors have invented the present invention.
  • Carbon (C) is an element stabilizing austenite and increasing the strength of the steel material. Particularly, carbon (C) decreases transformation points Ms and Md at which austenite transforms into ⁇ -martensite or ⁇ -martensite during a cooling or processing process. If the content of carbon (C) is insufficient, the stability of austenite is insufficient, and austenite easily undergoes strain-induced transformation into ⁇ -martensite or ⁇ -martensite by external stress. Therefore, an FCC structure may not be maintained, and thus hydrogen-embrittlement resistance may markedly decrease.
  • the content of carbon (C) be within the range of 0.1% or greater, more preferably within the range of 0.15% or greater, and even more preferably within the range of 0.2% or greater.
  • the content of carbon (C) may be adjusted to be within the range of 0.5% or less, and more preferably within the range of 0.45% or less.
  • the content of manganese (Mn) may be determined by considering a relationship with carbon (C) and other alloying elements.
  • FIG. 1 illustrates a manganese content range for improving hydrogen-embrittlement resistance by stably guaranteeing austenite or ⁇ -martensite having low hydrogen permeability after a room-temperature tensile test.
  • the graph of FIG. 1 shows results that the inventors have obtained through various experiments.
  • the content of manganese (Mn) may preferably be adjusted to be within the range of ⁇ 10.7[C]+24.5(%) or greater on the condition that the contents of the other elements are within ranges proposed in the present disclosure. If the content of manganese (Mn) is less than ⁇ 10.7[C]+24.5(%), the stability of austenite may decrease, and thus a BCC-based microstructure may be formed by deformation, thereby decreasing hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • Copper (Cu) stabilizes austenite guaranteeing hydrogen-embrittlement resistance and facilitates slipping by increasing stacking fault energy. If the content of carbon (C) is high, since copper (Cu) has very low solid solubility in carbides and diffuses slowly in austenite, copper (Cu) concentrates along boundaries of carbide nuclei formed in austenite, thereby suppressing the diffusion of carbon (C) and effectively retarding the growth of carbides. As a result, copper (Cu) suppresses the formation of carbides. Owing to this suppression of carbide formation, sites to which carbon (C) diffuses are decreased, thereby improving the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of the steel material and the ductility and toughness of the steel material as well.
  • the content of copper (Cu) is 0.5% or greater, this effect of suppressing the formation of carbides may be sufficiently obtained.
  • the content of copper (Cu) is excessively high, the hot workability of the steel material may deteriorate. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it may be preferable that the content of copper (Cu) be adjusted to be within the range of 5% or less, and more preferably within the range of 3.5% or less.
  • nitrogen (N) is an element stabilizing austenite and thus improving the toughness of the steel material. Particularly, like carbon (C), nitrogen (N) is very effective in improving the strength of the steel material by the effect of solid solution strengthening. Moreover, as illustrated in Formula 1, nitrogen (N) is known as an element effectively increasing stacking fault energy and thus promoting slipping. In the present disclosure, however, intended properties may be obtained without great difficulties even when nitrogen (N) is not added. Conversely, if the content of nitrogen (N) is excessively high, coarse nitrides may be formed, and thus the surface quality and properties of the steel material may deteriorate. Thus, it may be preferable that the content of nitrogen (N) be adjusted to be within the range of 1% or less, and more preferably within the range of 0.5% or less.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may further include chromium (Cr), nickel (Ni), molybdenum (Mo), silicon (Si), and aluminum (Al).
  • chromium (Cr) When the content of chromium (Cr) is within a proper range, chromium (Cr) increases hydrogen-embrittlement resistance by stabilizing austenite, and increases the strength of the steel material dissolved in austenite. Furthermore, chromium (Cr) is an element improving the corrosion resistance of the steel material. In the present disclosure, however, intended properties may be obtained without great difficulties even when chromium (Cr) is not added. In addition, since chromium (Cr) is a carbide forming element, if the content of chromium (Cr) is excessively high, carbides may be formed along austenite grain boundaries. Therefore, sites facilitating hydrogen diffusion may be provided, and the toughness of the steel material may decrease. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it may be preferable that the content of chromium (Cr) be adjusted to be within the range of 10% or less, and more preferably within the range of 8% or less.
  • Nickel (Ni) is an element very effective in stabilizing austenite. Particularly, nickel (Ni) decreases transformation points Ms and Md at which austenite transforms into ⁇ -martensite or ⁇ -martensite during a cooling or processing process. Moreover, as illustrated in Formula 1, nickel (Ni) is known as an element effectively increasing stacking fault energy and thus promoting slipping. In the present disclosure, however, intended properties may be obtained without great difficulties even when nickel (Ni) is not added. Since nickel (Ni) is an expensive element, if the content of nickel (Ni) is excessively high, the economical feasibility of the steel material decreases. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it may be preferable that the content of nickel (Ni) be within the range of 5% or less.
  • molybdenum (Mo) stabilizes austenite and improves the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of the steel material by decreasing transformation points Ms and Md at which austenite transforms into ⁇ -martensite or ⁇ -martensite during a cooling or processing process.
  • molybdenum (Mo) dissolves in the steel material and improves the strength of the steel material.
  • molybdenum (Mo) segregates along grain boundaries of austenite, thereby improving the stability of grain boundaries and decreasing the energy of grain boundaries. As a result, molybdenum (Mo) suppresses the precipitation of carbides along grain boundaries.
  • molybdenum (Mo) is known as an element effectively increasing stacking fault energy and thus promoting slipping. In the present disclosure, however, intended properties may be obtained without great difficulties even when molybdenum (Mo) is not added. Since molybdenum (Mo) is an expensive element, if the content of molybdenum (Mo) is excessively high, the economical feasibility of the steel material decreases. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it may be preferable that the content of molybdenum (Mo) be adjusted to be within the range of 5% or less, and more preferably, within the range of 4% or less.
  • Silicon (Si) improves the castability of molten steel.
  • silicon (Si) added to the austenitic steel material, dissolves in the austenitic steel material and effectively increases the strength of the austenitic steel material.
  • intended properties may be obtained without great difficulties even when silicon (Si) is not added. If the content of silicon (Si) is excessively high, stacking fault energy decreases, thereby causing partial dislocations and concentration of stress and thus decreasing the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of the steel material. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it may be preferable that the content of silicon (Si) be within the range of 4% or less.
  • aluminum (Al) stabilizes austenite and improves the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of the steel material by decreasing transformation points Ms and Md at which austenite transforms into ⁇ -martensite or ⁇ -martensite during a cooling or processing process.
  • aluminum (Al) dissolves in the steel material and increases the strength of the steel material.
  • aluminum (Al) affects the mobility of carbon (C) in the steel material and effectively suppresses the formation of carbides, thereby increasing the toughness of the steel material.
  • aluminum (Al) induces cross slips by markedly increasing stacking fault energy, and suppresses partial dislocations and thus decreases concentration of stress, thereby increasing hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • intended properties may be obtained without great difficulties even when aluminum (Al) is not added.
  • aluminum (Al) may be added in an amount of 0.2% or greater so as to further improve hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • the content of aluminum (Al) is excessively high, the castability and surface quality of steel may deteriorate because of the formation of oxides and nitrides.
  • the other element of the austenitic steel material is iron (Fe).
  • Fe iron
  • impurities of raw materials or manufacturing environments may be inevitably included in the austenitic steel material, and such impurities may not be removed from the austenitic steel material.
  • Such impurities are well-known to those of ordinary skill in the art, and thus descriptions thereof will not be given in the present disclosure.
  • addition of effective elements other than the above-described elements is not excluded.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may have stacking fault energy (SEF) expressed by Formula 1 below within the range of 30 mJ/m 2 or greater.
  • SEF stacking fault energy
  • high-manganese steels having a high manganese content like the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure have relatively low stacking fault energy compared to general carbon steels and thus easily have partial dislocations, and since slipping of such partial dislocations is limited to particular slip planes, dislocation accumulation and stress concentration are easily caused.
  • concentration of stress facilitates diffusion of hydrogen, and thus a phenomenon in which the fracture strength of a material decreases because of diffusion of hydrogen, that is, embrittlement caused by hydrogen, is likely to occur in high-manganese steels like the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, the deformation behavior of the austenitic steel material is particularly controlled by adjusting stacking fault energy through control of alloying elements and contents thereof. Based on results of research conducted by the inventors, the inventors have found that if stacking fault energy defined by Formula 1 above is adjusted to be 30 mJ/m 2 or greater, the possibility of hydrogen embrittlement is markedly reduced.
  • the degree of work hardening of a steel material caused by concentration of stress may be measured by measuring a strain hardening rate in a tensile test.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may have a strain hardening rate of 14000 N/mm 2 or less in a tensile test performed under atmospheric conditions of 25° C. and 1 atm.
  • the strain hardening rate may be calculated from true strain and true stress. If the strain hardening rate in a tensile test is greater than 14000 N/mm 2 , concentration of stress caused by dislocations is excessively high, and thus hydrogen easily diffuses and accumulates. Thus, hydrogen embrittlement may occur.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may have a tensile strength of 800 MPa or less in a tensile test performed under atmospheric conditions of 25° C. and 1 atm. If the tensile strength of the austenitic steel material is greater than 800 MPa, hydrogen-embrittlement resistance may deteriorate because of high work hardening caused by concentration of stress.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may have a microstructure including austenite in an area fraction of 95% or greater. If the area fraction of austenite is less than 95%, intended hydrogen-embrittlement resistance may not be obtained.
  • the microstructure of the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may be austenite, or ⁇ -martensite and austenite after a tensile test performed under atmospheric conditions of 25° C. and 1 atm. If the microstructure of the austenitic steel material has ferrite, intended hydrogen-embrittlement resistance may not be obtained.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may be manufactured by a general steel material manufacturing method using a steel slab having the above-described composition.
  • the austenitic steel material of the present disclosure may be manufactured by reheating, rough rolling, finish rolling, and cooling a steel slab having the above-described composition.
  • the temperature of the finish rolling process may be adjusted to be greater than a non-crystallization temperature. If the finish rolling process is performed at a temperature equal to or lower than the non-crystallization temperature, the strength of the steel material may be excessively high due to excessive formation and accumulation of dislocations, thereby promoting concentration of stress and fracture caused by hydrogen. In addition, ferrite inducing hydrogen embrittlement during tensile deformation may be early formed, and thus it may be difficult to obtain intended hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • the steel material may be cooled through an accelerated cooling process after a rolling process, so as to suppress the formation of carbides.
  • the reason for this is that if carbides are formed, the elongation of the steel material decreases, and in particular, hydrogen accumulates along boundaries between carbides and austenite, thereby decreasing hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • elements such as carbon (C), chromium (Cr), and molybdenum (Mo) are main carbide forming elements, whether or not to perform accelerated cooling and the rate of accelerated cooling are determined according to the contents of such elements as expressed by the following formula.
  • each of Inventive Examples 1 to 5 satisfying the composition ranges proposed in the present disclosure had stable austenite without ferrite, a low strain hardening rate, and low tensile strength.
  • Inventive Examples 1 to 5 were rolled at a finish rolling temperature higher than a non-crystallization temperature, the formation and accumulation of dislocations were suppressed, and since Inventive Examples 1 to 5 were cooled at a cooling rate satisfying the range proposed in the present disclosure, the formation of carbides was effectively suppressed.
  • austenitic steel materials having high hydrogen-embrittlement resistance that is, having a high elongation at break ratio, could be obtained.
  • Comparative Example 1 had carbon and manganese contents outside the ranges proposed in the present disclosure and particularly, a high strain hardening rate because of an excessively high carbon content, and thus, the elongation at break ratio of Comparative Example 1 was low. That is, Comparative Example 1 had poor hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • Comparative Example 2 having a manganese content outside of the range proposed in the present disclosure, austenite was unstable, and thus ferrite susceptible to hydrogen embrittlement was formed after tensile deformation. That is, Comparative Example 2 had poor hydrogen-embrittlement resistance.
  • Comparative Example 3 having carbon and manganese contents and stacking fault energy within the ranges proposed in the present disclosure but a copper content greater than the range proposed in the present disclosure, cracks were formed in the rolled material, and thus a normal specimen could not obtained.
  • Comparative Example 4 had a carbon content greater than the range proposed in the present disclosure, Comparative Example 4 had a high strain hardening rate and carbides excessively precipitated along austenite grain boundaries, and thus the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of Comparative Example 4 was poor.
  • Comparative Example 5 had a manganese content outside the range proposed in the present disclosure, an intended microstructure could not be obtained, and thus the hydrogen-embrittlement resistance of Comparative Example 5 was poor.
  • FIG. 2 is an image of a fracture surface of a specimen of Inventive Example 1 after the room-temperature tensile test. Referring to FIG. 2 , fracture occurred in a dimple type which is typical of ductile fracture.
