Definitions
- the invention relates to high-strength, low-alloy steel developed to be used in all areas that can be used in hot forging processes as a long product raw material.
- the invention particularly relates to a micro-alloyed steel composition
- a micro-alloyed steel composition comprising; carbon (C) in the ratio of 0.380-0.450% by weight, nitrogen (N) in a ratio of 0.007% maximum by weight, silicon (Si) in a ratio of 0.250-0.300% by weight, manganese (Mn) in a ratio of 1.550-1.650% by weight, chromium (Cr) in a ratio of 0-0.120% by weight, molybdenum (Mo) in a ratio of 0- 0.020% by weight, nickel (Ni) in a ratio of 0-0.050% by weight, aluminum (Al) in a ratio of 0- 0.005% by weight, vanadium (V) in a ratio of 0-0.030% by weight, -phosphorus (P) in a ratio of 0.005% by weight, sulfur (S) in a ratio of 0-0.010% by weight and copper (Cu) in a ratio of 0-0.100% by weight and 10-15%
- micro-alloyed steels The most important group of engineering materials is made up of steels. There are continuous improvements in the process and physical metallurgy of steels to meet all kinds of demands and changes. In recent years, the development of micro-alloyed steels has been seen as one of the most important metallurgical successes. It can be said that this development is the result of a clear understanding of the structure-feature relations in low- carbon steels. The final product is the result of a successful combination of physical, mechanical, and process metallurgy. Micro-alloyed steels successfully replace mild steels as basic building materials.
- the total amount of alloy usually does not exceed 2%. While most of these alloy elements are formed by niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti), and vanadium (V), the nanometer-sized precipitates formed by these alloy elements with carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) atoms provide high yield strength to steel. In addition, its mechanical properties such as high corrosion resistance, ductility, and toughness also increase the use of micro-alloyed steels.
- micro-alloyed steels consist of low-perlite and nonperlite steels.
- features such as formability, toughness, and weldability are significantly increased by significantly lowering the carbon ratio.
- These features are generally desired in the production of high-strength and lightweight parts by shaping.
- these steels can only reach the yield limit of 500 N/mm 2 with controlled rolling with the thinning and hardening effects of aluminum (Al), niobium (Nb), and titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), which are micro-alloy elements.
- Carbide, nitride, and carbonitrides formed by micro-alloy elements remain undissolved in the austenite phase if the dissolution temperatures are not exceeded during hot forming processes. These insoluble hard structures prevent austenite grain growth and provide both a small-grained steel structure and increase the toughness of the material.
- the content of C, Mn and Cr is such that (830-270x%C- 90x%Mn-70x%Cr) ⁇ 560.
- Martensite and/or eutectoid ferrite and/or perlite comprise more than 20% of the bainitic structure of the steel.
- Patent application JP2017166019A discloses a high-strength, low-alloyed seamless steel pipe for oil mines and a method for production thereof.
- the chemical composition of the steel according to the invention comprises C: 0.50-0.60%, Si: 0.05-0%, Mn: 0.1-1.0%, P: maximum 0.02%, S: maximum 0.002%, Al: 0.01-0.1%, N: maximum 0.006%, Cr: 0.4-1.5%, Mo: 0.5-2.5%, V: 0.02-0.3%, Nb: 0.01-0.2%, Ti: maximum 0.01%, B: 0-0.0005%, Ca: 0- 0.003%, Ni: 0-0.1%, Cu: 0-0.05%, Co: 0-1.0% by weight, with the remaining consisting of iron (Fe) and impurities in balance with other elements.
- the steel pipe according to the invention has a structure of tempered martensite, tempered bainite or a mixed structure consisting of tempered martensite and tempered bainite.
- Patent application EP1070153B1 relates to a steel composition containing 0.6-0.65% carbon (C) by weight, maximum 0.4% silicon (Si), 0.6-0.9% manganese (Mn), 0.03-0.07% phosphorus (P), 0.07-0.11% sulfur (S), maximum 0.5% chromium (Cr), maximum 0.1% molybdenum (Mo), maximum 0.5% nickel (Ni), 0.5% copper (Cu), maximum 0.5% aluminum (Al), maximum 0.03% nitrogen (N), vanadium and iron.

HIGH-STRENGTH MICRO-ALLOYED STEEL
Technical Field
The invention relates to high-strength, low-alloy steel developed to be used in all areas that can be used in hot forging processes as a long product raw material.
The invention particularly relates to a micro-alloyed steel composition comprising; carbon (C) in the ratio of 0.380-0.450% by weight, nitrogen (N) in a ratio of 0.007% maximum by weight, silicon (Si) in a ratio of 0.250-0.300% by weight, manganese (Mn) in a ratio of 1.550-1.650% by weight, chromium (Cr) in a ratio of 0-0.120% by weight, molybdenum (Mo) in a ratio of 0- 0.020% by weight, nickel (Ni) in a ratio of 0-0.050% by weight, aluminum (Al) in a ratio of 0- 0.005% by weight, vanadium (V) in a ratio of 0-0.030% by weight, -phosphorus (P) in a ratio of 0.005% by weight, sulfur (S) in a ratio of 0-0.010% by weight and copper (Cu) in a ratio of 0-0.100% by weight and 10-15% ferrite phase, 25-30% perlite phase, 58-68% bainite phase with yield strength of 650-665 MPa, tensile strength of 890-900 MPa.
Prior Art
The most important group of engineering materials is made up of steels. There are continuous improvements in the process and physical metallurgy of steels to meet all kinds of demands and changes. In recent years, the development of micro-alloyed steels has been seen as one of the most important metallurgical successes. It can be said that this development is the result of a clear understanding of the structure-feature relations in low- carbon steels. The final product is the result of a successful combination of physical, mechanical, and process metallurgy. Micro-alloyed steels successfully replace mild steels as basic building materials.
In high-strength, low-alloy, micro-alloyed steels, the total amount of alloy usually does not exceed 2%. While most of these alloy elements are formed by niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti), and vanadium (V), the nanometer-sized precipitates formed by these alloy elements with carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) atoms provide high yield strength to steel. In addition, its mechanical properties such as high corrosion resistance, ductility, and toughness also increase the use of micro-alloyed steels.
The specific development aspects of micro-alloyed steels consist of low-perlite and nonperlite steels. Features such as formability, toughness, and weldability are significantly
increased by significantly lowering the carbon ratio. These features are generally desired in the production of high-strength and lightweight parts by shaping. Despite the low carbon ratio, these steels can only reach the yield limit of 500 N/mm2 with controlled rolling with the thinning and hardening effects of aluminum (Al), niobium (Nb), and titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), which are micro-alloy elements.
Niobium (Nb), titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), and aluminum (Al), which are used as alloy elements in micro-alloyed steels, have significant direct effects on the mechanical properties of the material and form carbide, nitride, or carbonite. Carbide, nitride, and carbonitrides formed by micro-alloy elements remain undissolved in the austenite phase if the dissolution temperatures are not exceeded during hot forming processes. These insoluble hard structures prevent austenite grain growth and provide both a small-grained steel structure and increase the toughness of the material.
In the present art, to obtain high strength, increasing the amount of carbon in the alloy or grain thinning feature of micro-alloy elements is exploited. The high carbon steel alloy is heat-treated after hot forging and secondary treatment is required to increase strength. On the other hand, Micro-alloyed steels are not able to increase the strength of the forged material as much as heat-treated high carbon alloy. While the yield strength of the steel alloy in the high carbon C45E standard is 500 MPa, the tensile strength is 750-850 MPa, the yield strength is 560 MPa and the tensile strength is between 580-790 MPa in micro-alloyed steel. As mentioned, increasing the strength of high carbon steel (C45E) as a result of a costly application with secondary treatment and low yield strength in micro-alloyed steel reveals the need to develop a new steel alloy.

The structural and characteristic features of the present invention will be understood clearly by the following detailed description and therefore the evaluation shall be made by considering the detailed description.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The high-strength micro-alloyed steel is merely described for a better understanding of the subject matter and without any limiting effect in this detailed description.
The invention is a high-strength, low-alloy micro-alloyed steel developed to be used in all areas that can be used in hot forging processes as long product raw material, characterized in that; it comprises a steel composition containing carbon (C) in the ratio of 0.380-0.450% by weight, nitrogen (N) in a ratio of 0.007% maximum by weight, silicon (Si) in a ratio of 0.250- 0.300% by weight, manganese (Mn) in a ratio of 1.550-1.650% by weight, chromium (Cr) in a ratio of 0-0.120% by weight, molybdenum (Mo) in a ratio of 0-0.020% by weight, nickel (Ni) in a ratio of 0-0.050% by weight, aluminum (Al) in a ratio of 0-0.005% by weight, vanadium (V) in a ratio of 0-0.030% by weight, phosphorus (P) in a ratio of 0.005% by weight, sulfur (S) in a ratio of 0-0.010% by weight and copper (Cu) in a ratio of 0-0.100% by weight and 10-15% ferrite phase, 25-30% perlite phase, 58-68% bainite phase.
Formulation of the micro-alloyed steel according to the invention;
To obtain the micro-alloyed steel according to the invention, the alloy elements are first determined. The amount and variety of alloy elements in the steel composition are important parameters in the development of mechanical properties.
To ensure the coexistence of different strength enhancement mechanisms, the nitride-, carbide-, and carbonitride-making properties of vanadium (V) with interstitial atoms such as carbon (C), and nitrogen (N) are used. On the other hand, by utilizing the fact that TTT (isothermal conversion diagram) and OCT (continuous cooling conversion diagram) diagrams vary according to the alloy element, a fine-grained structure is obtained with the solid melt hardening mechanism. In the developed alloy structure, it is ensured to reveal the bainite phase together with the ferrite phase.
Secondly, a hot forging methodology is created. The temperature and deformation rates in the hot forging process are rearranged according to the original alloy. Finally, the cooling process is applied. According to the TTT (isothermal conversion diagram) and CCT (continuous cooling conversion diagram) diagrams, the cooling regime for the target microstructure (ferrite and bainite) is determined. With TTT- and CCT-based controlled dualstage functional cooling methods, cooling is provided in a way that ferrite and bainite phase ratios can be changed.
In the iron-carbon phase diagram, martensite and bainite conversion have an important place in the hardening mechanism of the alloy. However, due to the process conditions in industrial steel production, the cooling rates are considerably higher than the equilibrium conditions. With the increase in the cooling rate, the iron-carbon phase diagram used in the determination of phase conversions is not used. The most important reason for this is that
the diagram in question is formed under very slow cooling conditions. For this reason, diagrams called TTT, which show the change of phase conversion depending on temperature and time, are used at high cooling rates. With isothermal conversion diagrams, subjects are determined such as when austenite will start to be converted in fast-cooled steels, how long the conversion will take, and which products will eventually form. Therefore, TTT diagrams are preferred in determining the phase conversions that will occur in the alloy under extreme cooling conditions as a function of temperature and time.
In the conversion reaction, it is necessary to change the conversion curve to see the time and temperature effects separately. Curves showing this situation are called continuous cooling conversion curves (CCT). CCT diagrams can be used for all thermal processes involving continuous cooling. The main purpose of CCT diagrams is to know in advance which structural elements can be obtained and which hardness can be obtained by using the cooling curve. These diagrams allow the determination of the phase or phases contained in the final microstructures to be obtained after the conversion in both isothermal heat treatments where the temperature is kept constant and continuous cooling.
Vanadium is used as a single carbide builder in the micro-alloyed steel composition of the invention. With this use, the strength enhancement mechanism is activated by thinning the grain, and strength increase is provided with toughness. It is necessary to provide the effect of the grain thinning elements and for the forging temperature and post-forging cooling environment.
The micro-alloyed steel production method according to the invention;
• The steel composition produced by micro-alloying is obtained in the form of billet by continuous casting method using electric arc furnace, crucible furnace, vacuum furnace, and tundish immersion closed ceramic tube, respectively,
• The produced billets are made into cylindrical, long semi-finished products in the round long group by hot rolling,
• The said semi-finished product is subjected to controlled hot forging and cooling stages,
• With the resulting precipitate hardening mechanism, steel alloy is obtained at the desired mechanical values.
The hot forging temperature used in the inventive production method is 1200°C, the primary cooling after forging is carried out under atmospheric conditions with a heat convection
coefficient of 80-120 W/m2K for 100-130 seconds, and the secondary cooling is carried out with a heat convection coefficient of 40-60 W/m2K for 1200-1500 seconds.
Convection is a type of heat transfer between a solid surface and the fluid (liquid or gas) in motion adjacent to it. The faster the fluid movement, the greater the heat transfer through convection. If the mass or mass fluid movement disappears, the heat transfer between the solid surface and the adjacent fluid occurs only by random movement of the molecules, i.e. by conduction.
Heat convection coefficient is defined as the amount of heat carried from the unit surface area in the unit temperature difference and in the unit time. This coefficient differs depending on various elements. Some of these elements are the material and roughness of the surface with which the fluid contacts, flow pattern, flow rate, hydraulic diameter, viscosity, and density of the fluid.
In addition, the heat convection coefficient is different according to the type of heat convection. There are two types of heat convection. The first is the forced heat convection where the fluid moves due to the pressure applied to the system. The second is the natural heat convection where the fluid moves in the system due to the density difference.
The most determining feature in the selection of thermal insulation materials is the heat transmission coefficient. Because the lower the heat transmission coefficient, the higher the thermal insulation resistance of the systems. Knowing the thermal properties of the materials is very important in terms of achieving optimum performance where the material is used. Many measurement techniques have been used for this purpose for many years. Thermal properties of the materials (thermal conductivity coefficient, specific heat, thermal permeability) can be measured with the current techniques. Especially recently, there are complexities in the micro and macro level internal structure of the materials developed, and it is difficult to make accurate measurements under this condition.
The smaller the coefficient of thermal conductivity, the less heat loss occurs. Effective use of this energy is possible with thermal insulation. The choice of thermal insulation material or the production of new material is very important in this regard. It is necessary to know the heat transmission coefficient of that material to make the calculations after the production of new material or material selection.
Correct calculation of the heat transmission coefficient is of great importance in engineering problems. In addition to the occurrence of experimental and theoretical errors in the calculation of the heat transmission coefficient, inevitably, the time and cost loss spent will also occur. The heat transmission coefficient is towards the side where the temperature decreases. In the calculation of the heat convection coefficient, the following unitless characteristic identification values are used:
Reynolds number;
Prandtl number;
Nusselt number;
These are; v: Speed of fluid,
I: It is the characteristic length related to flow and heat transfer; it is the wall height in the walls and the pipe diameter in the pipes. v: Kinematic viscosity, v=g/p, p: Density, cp: Specific heat at constant pressure,
A: Heat transmission coefficient g: Gravitational acceleration, y: Volumetric expansion coefficient, t: Temperature difference a: Temperature dissipation coefficient, (a=A/.cp)
Newton’s Law of Cooling (Q) is used to calculate the amount of heat transferred in unit time by convection and the formula used in its calculation is given below. The typical values of the convection heat transfer coefficient are given in Table- 1.
