Definitions
- the present invention relates to an austenitic heat resistant steel.
- the method of coarsening the crystal grains inhibits the formation of the Cr 2 O 3 protective film, so that the steam oxidation resistance may be lowered.
- the element addition amount it is necessary to increase the element addition amount. If the amount of element addition is increased, various basic characteristics other than creep strength may be adversely affected. Further, when the amount of element addition is increased, the raw material cost increases, and there is a possibility that economic efficiency is impaired. For this reason, a method of obtaining a solid solution strengthening action in a heat resistant material is not desirable as a method of obtaining a desired strength.
- the method of obtaining the effect of precipitation strengthening can strongly suppress the movement of dislocation accompanying deformation and can greatly improve the creep strength.
- many heat-resistant members are manufactured in the order of softening heat treatment, cold working, and final heat treatment.
- the final heat treatment is performed by heating to a high temperature followed by a rapid cooling treatment in the actual use environment or in the creep test. It is necessary to previously dissolve the element that precipitates therein.
- Patent Document 1 discloses an austenitic stainless steel containing one or two of Ti: 0.15 to 0.5 mass% and Nb: 0.3 to 1.5 mass%.
- the final softening temperature is set to over 1200 ° C. to 1350 ° C. and heated. After cooling at a cooling rate of 500 ° C./hr or more, 20 to 90% of cold working is added. Next, by heating to a temperature of 1070 to 1300 ° C. and 30 ° C. lower than the final softening temperature, and performing a final heat treatment of cooling at a cooling rate of air cooling or higher, the creep strength is high, and the fine grain structure has good corrosion resistance.
- a method for producing austenitic stainless steel is disclosed.
- Patent Document 1 a part of the element to be precipitated in an actual use environment or a creep test is precipitated in a small amount in the above-described final heat treatment stage, and crystallized due to the grain boundary pinning effect by the precipitate. This is to suppress grain coarsening. That is, the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 precipitates the difference in the amount of solid solution corresponding to this temperature difference by raising the softening heat treatment temperature before cold working to a certain level or more with respect to the final heat treatment. Thus, by devising two heat treatment temperatures, improvement in creep strength by high-temperature heat treatment and formation of a structure (fine crystal grain structure) containing a lot of fine crystal grains are achieved.
- the manufacturing equipment used in actual production has an upper limit temperature.
- the softening heat treatment temperature is raised to the equipment upper limit temperature, in order to provide a difference between the two heat treatment temperatures as in the method disclosed in Patent Document 1, it is necessary to set the final heat treatment temperature lower than the equipment upper limit temperature. .
- the decrease in the final heat treatment temperature decreases the amount of precipitation formed in the actual use environment or during the creep test, and as a result, the creep strength may not be sufficiently improved.
- the invention disclosed in Patent Document 1 obtains excellent steam oxidation resistance by making a fine grain structure, and obtains a pinning effect of grain boundaries by precipitating a small amount of precipitates. It has a creep strength.
- lowering the final heat treatment temperature to obtain a pinning effect means that the deposits that should be formed in the actual use environment or during the creep test are used in advance and sacrificed. Conceivable.
- the conventional technology cannot sufficiently utilize the precipitation strengthening that can be obtained from the steel material components.
- the creep strength is a limiting factor that determines the thickness of the member. Therefore, if the creep strength is improved, the thickness can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.
- austenitic heat-resistant steel has sufficient creep strength, and it can be said that it has not led to cost reduction.
- the final heat treatment temperature is lowered when the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 is applied. There must be. As described above, when the final heat treatment temperature is lowered, the solid solution amount of the precipitated element is lowered. Therefore, it is presumed that precipitation strengthening cannot be utilized to the maximum and the effect of improving the creep strength cannot be fully expressed.
- This invention is made
- the creep strength has been arranged focusing on the solid solution amount of the precipitated element depending on the temperature of the heat treatment. Therefore, generally, when the final heat treatment temperature is lowered, the amount of precipitated elements decreases, and the amount of fine precipitates newly precipitated in the actual use environment or during the creep test is reduced. Has been thought to be lower.
- the temperature difference between the softening heat treatment and the final heat treatment is set to 30 ° C. or more, and the precipitation of some precipitation elements is suppressed by the final heat treatment, thereby suppressing the coarsening of crystal grains. is doing.
- the precipitate that is precipitated by this operation is a precipitate that is supposed to be deposited in the actual use environment or during the creep test and contribute to the improvement of the creep strength. That is, the austenitic stainless steel manufactured by the method disclosed in Patent Document 1 cannot sufficiently improve the creep strength by the amount of the precipitated element to suppress the coarsening of crystal grains. The possibility is high.
- the present inventors have intensively studied whether or not the precipitate formed by this final heat treatment can directly affect the improvement of creep strength.
- the inventors of the present invention maintain specific amounts of precipitation elements added and solid solution amounts within a certain range, and within a certain range the precipitation particle size and precipitation amount contained in the steel. It was found that the precipitate obtained by performing the final heat treatment at a lower temperature than in the prior art can improve the creep strength. That is, the present inventors have found that precipitates formed by performing final heat treatment under specific heat treatment conditions contribute to improvement of creep strength as fine precipitates as they are. This finding exceeds the concept of the prior art that the creep strength is superior to conventional precipitates obtained by heat treatment at high temperatures. It was also found that the final heat treatment is performed under the specific heat treatment conditions described above (lower temperature than before), so that the fine grain structure can be maintained and the steam oxidation resistance can be maintained.
- the precipitate formed by the final heat treatment suppresses creep deformation more effectively than the precipitate formed during the creep test.
- precipitates formed during a creep test on an austenitic heat resistant steel are formed along dislocations introduced with deformation. Since dislocations are concentrated in the vicinity of the grain boundaries, the distribution of precipitates becomes nonuniform.
- the precipitate formed by the final heat treatment when manufacturing the austenitic heat resistant steel is uniformly formed in the grains.
- the precipitate formed by the final heat treatment can efficiently suppress the dislocation movement accompanying the creep deformation from the initial stage of deformation throughout the grain. For these reasons, it is presumed that good creep strength can be obtained when the final heat treatment is performed under specific heat treatment conditions as described above. This knowledge goes beyond the concept of the solid solution amount of the precipitation element depending on the temperature of the conventional heat treatment.

Abstract
Description
また、固溶強化を作用させるためには元素添加量を多くすることが必要となる。元素添加量を多くすると、クリープ強度以外の様々な基本特性に悪影響を及ぼすおそれがある。
また、元素添加量を多くすると、原料費が増加し、経済性を損なう可能性もある。そのため、耐熱材料において固溶強化の作用を得る方法は、所望の強度を得る方法として望ましいとはいえない。 Among these, the method of coarsening the crystal grains inhibits the formation of the Cr 2 O 3 protective film, so that the steam oxidation resistance may be lowered.
Moreover, in order to make the solid solution strengthen work, it is necessary to increase the element addition amount. If the amount of element addition is increased, various basic characteristics other than creep strength may be adversely affected.
Further, when the amount of element addition is increased, the raw material cost increases, and there is a possibility that economic efficiency is impaired. For this reason, a method of obtaining a solid solution strengthening action in a heat resistant material is not desirable as a method of obtaining a desired strength.
つまり、本発明者らは、特定の熱処理条件の最終熱処理を行って形成された析出物が、そのまま微細析出物としてクリープ強度の向上に寄与することを見出した。この知見は、高温で熱処理して得られる従来の析出物よりもクリープ強度が優れるという、従来技術の概念を超えるものである。
また、前記した特定の熱処理条件(従来よりも低温)で最終熱処理を行うので、微細結晶粒組織を保つことができ、耐水蒸気酸化性を維持することができることも見出した。 The present inventors have intensively studied whether or not the precipitate formed by this final heat treatment can directly affect the improvement of creep strength. As a result, the inventors of the present invention maintain specific amounts of precipitation elements added and solid solution amounts within a certain range, and within a certain range the precipitation particle size and precipitation amount contained in the steel. It was found that the precipitate obtained by performing the final heat treatment at a lower temperature than in the prior art can improve the creep strength.
That is, the present inventors have found that precipitates formed by performing final heat treatment under specific heat treatment conditions contribute to improvement of creep strength as fine precipitates as they are. This finding exceeds the concept of the prior art that the creep strength is superior to conventional precipitates obtained by heat treatment at high temperatures.
It was also found that the final heat treatment is performed under the specific heat treatment conditions described above (lower temperature than before), so that the fine grain structure can be maintained and the steam oxidation resistance can be maintained.
今回、本発明者らは、オーステナイト系耐熱鋼において、最終熱処理で形成された析出物が、クリープ試験中に形成される析出物よりも効果的にクリープ変形を抑制することを見出した。通常、オーステナイト系耐熱鋼に対するクリープ試験中に形成される析出物は、変形に伴って導入される転位に沿って形成される。転位は結晶粒界近傍に集中するので、析出物の分布も不均一になる。
これに対し、オーステナイト系耐熱鋼を製造する際の最終熱処理で形成される析出物は、粒内に均一に形成される。そのため、当該最終熱処理で形成される析出物は、クリープ変形に伴う転位運動を粒内全体で変形初期から効率よく抑制することができると考えられる。このような理由により、前記した如く特定の熱処理条件で最終熱処理を行うと、良好なクリープ強度を得ることができると推測される。この知見は、従来の熱処理の温度に依存する析出元素の固溶量の概念を超えたものである。 Even when the final heat treatment is performed under specific heat treatment conditions (even if the final heat treatment is performed at a temperature lower than that of the conventional heat treatment), the following reason can be considered as a reason why a good creep strength can be obtained.
The present inventors have now found that, in austenitic heat resistant steel, the precipitate formed by the final heat treatment suppresses creep deformation more effectively than the precipitate formed during the creep test. Usually, precipitates formed during a creep test on an austenitic heat resistant steel are formed along dislocations introduced with deformation. Since dislocations are concentrated in the vicinity of the grain boundaries, the distribution of precipitates becomes nonuniform.
On the other hand, the precipitate formed by the final heat treatment when manufacturing the austenitic heat resistant steel is uniformly formed in the grains. Therefore, it is considered that the precipitate formed by the final heat treatment can efficiently suppress the dislocation movement accompanying the creep deformation from the initial stage of deformation throughout the grain. For these reasons, it is presumed that good creep strength can be obtained when the final heat treatment is performed under specific heat treatment conditions as described above. This knowledge goes beyond the concept of the solid solution amount of the precipitation element depending on the temperature of the conventional heat treatment.

If the average hardness exceeds 160 Hv, the solid solution amount of the element that precipitates in the actual use environment or during the creep test cannot be secured, so the creep strength decreases. In order to set the average hardness to 160 Hv or less, although depending on the above-described component composition, it can be easily obtained by performing a heat treatment at a temperature of 1150 ° C. or higher and cooling by water cooling, for example.

当該析出粒子径および前記した累積数密度の測定方法については後記する。 [Cumulative density of precipitates having a particle diameter exceeding 0 nm and in a range of 100 nm is 0.1 to 2.0 / μm 2 ]
[In the distribution of cumulative number density and precipitated particle size, the precipitated particle size corresponding to half the cumulative number density is 70 nm or less]
The cumulative number density of precipitates having a particle diameter exceeding 0 nm and in the range of 100 nm is 0.1 to 2.0 / μm 2 , and the distribution of the cumulative number density and the precipitated particle diameter When the precipitated particle diameter corresponding to the half value is 70 nm or less, the creep strength can be improved.
That is, with respect to the precipitates formed by the final heat treatment, the precipitate particle diameter corresponding to half the cumulative number density is kept as fine as 70 nm or less while forming a certain amount of precipitates of 100 nm or less, thus improving the creep strength. Can be made.
The lower limit of the cumulative number density mentioned above is preferably of a 0.3 / μm 2, and more preferably set to 0.4 / μm 2.
The upper limit of the precipitated particle diameter corresponding to the half value of the cumulative number density is preferably 60 nm, and more preferably 50 nm. In addition, the lower limit of the precipitated particle diameter corresponding to the half value of the cumulative number density exceeds 0 nm.
The method for measuring the precipitated particle diameter and the cumulative number density will be described later.
結晶粒度番号が7.5以上であれば、金属組織が十分微細な状態であり、微細結晶粒組織ということができる。従って、耐水蒸気酸化性を維持することができる。
結晶粒度番号を7.5以上とするには、後記する特定の熱処理条件で最終熱処理を行えばよい。 [Grain size number is 7.5 or more]
If the crystal grain size number is 7.5 or more, the metal structure is in a sufficiently fine state and can be referred to as a fine crystal grain structure. Therefore, the steam oxidation resistance can be maintained.
In order to set the grain size number to 7.5 or more, the final heat treatment may be performed under specific heat treatment conditions described later.
鋼中に含まれる析出粒子径および析出量を一定範囲に収め、かつ、結晶粒度番号を7.5以上とするためには、前記鋼材成分、硬さ範囲を前提としたうえで、析出物の粗大化因子が2000℃・min以下となる条件で最終熱処理を行えばよい。なお、この「析出物の粗大化因子が2000℃・min以下となる条件」が、前記した特定の熱処理条件である。 [Final heat treatment under specific heat treatment conditions]
In order to keep the precipitation particle size and precipitation amount contained in the steel within a certain range and the crystal grain size number to be 7.5 or more, on the premise of the steel material component and the hardness range, The final heat treatment may be performed under the condition that the coarsening factor is 2000 ° C. · min or less. This “condition that the coarsening factor of the precipitate is 2000 ° C./min or less” is the specific heat treatment condition described above.
粗大化因子が前記した条件を満たすか否かを判断するためには、析出物の数密度およびサイズ分布を定量化する必要がある。これは、鋼材断面にて析出物が分散した様子を捉えたミクロ画像を採取し、これを画像解析によって定量化することで得ることができる。ミクロ画像は、例えば、電解研磨された鋼材表面を走査型電子顕微鏡で撮影することで得ることができる。析出物が微細である場合には、走査型電子顕微鏡に替えて透過型電子顕微鏡を用いるとよい。なお、定量精度の観点から、析出物は少なくとも200個以上を定量し、0nmを超え100nmを10nm毎のヒストグラムで整理するとよい。 [Measuring method of precipitated particle size and cumulative number density]
In order to determine whether the coarsening factor satisfies the above-described conditions, it is necessary to quantify the number density and size distribution of the precipitates. This can be obtained by collecting a micro image capturing a state in which precipitates are dispersed in a cross section of the steel material, and quantifying this by image analysis. A micro image can be obtained by, for example, photographing a surface of an electropolished steel material with a scanning electron microscope. When the precipitate is fine, a transmission electron microscope may be used instead of the scanning electron microscope. In addition, from the viewpoint of quantitative accuracy, at least 200 precipitates are quantified, and 100 nm exceeding 0 nm may be arranged by a histogram for every 10 nm.
そのため、従来は実使用環境中やクリープ試験中に形成される析出量を犠牲にしながら結晶粒の微細化を図っていたが、本実施形態に係るオーステナイト系耐熱鋼では、従来、犠牲になっていた析出もクリープ強度の向上に寄与させることができる。従って、設備の制約等により、熱処理の上限温度が存在する場合であっても、析出強化作用を最大限に得ることができる。これにより、析出元素としてTiを使用するオーステナイト系耐熱鋼において、微細結晶粒組織としながらもクリープ強度をさらに高めた耐熱ステンレス鋼を提供することができる。本実施形態に係るオーステナイト系耐熱鋼は、クリープ強度を向上させることができるため、従来よりも耐熱部材の肉厚を薄くできることができ、耐熱部品としての低コスト化を実現することができる。 Since the austenitic heat-resisting steel according to the present embodiment described above has the steel material component in the above-described range and the precipitated particle diameter and precipitation amount contained in the steel are within a certain range, the fine grain structure is While maintaining, it can have excellent creep strength.
Therefore, conventionally, the grain size has been reduced while sacrificing the amount of precipitation formed in the actual use environment or during the creep test. However, in the austenitic heat-resisting steel according to the present embodiment, it has been conventionally sacrificed. Precipitation can also contribute to the improvement of creep strength. Therefore, the precipitation strengthening action can be maximized even when the upper limit temperature of the heat treatment exists due to equipment restrictions and the like. Thereby, in the austenitic heat-resistant steel using Ti as a precipitation element, it is possible to provide a heat-resistant stainless steel having a further improved creep strength while having a fine grain structure. Since the austenitic heat-resistant steel according to the present embodiment can improve the creep strength, the thickness of the heat-resistant member can be made thinner than before, and the cost reduction as a heat-resistant component can be realized.

At this time, an image capable of recognizing an object of 20 nm at a magnification of 6000 times was obtained, and it was confirmed by a transmission electron microscope that no finer precipitates existed in this example.

なお、微細結晶粒組織であるこれらの例は、良好な耐水蒸気酸化特性を得ることができると推察される。 As shown in Table 2, No. 1 having the desired effect of the present invention is obtained. 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, 28, the creep rupture time is 650 hours or more, It was confirmed that creep rupture strength superior to that of the comparative example was obtained with the components. In addition, these No. Steel materials shown in 4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 23, 25, 26, and 28 all have fine crystal grains (with a fine crystal grain structure).
