Definitions
- the present invention relates to steel products which are preferably used for forming an oil tank of a crude oil tanker and a tank for transporting or storing crude oil (hereinafter collectively referred to as "crude oil tank” as a general term), and more specifically to steel products which can reduce general corrosion which occurs in a surface of steel products which form a top part, a sidewall part or a bottom part of a crude oil tank and local corrosion which occurs in a bottom plate of the crude oil tank.
- the steel products for a crude oil tank according to the present invention include a thick steel plate, a thin steel sheet and a shaped steel as a concept.
- H 2 S is oxidized using iron rust generated by corrosion as a catalyst so that elemental sulfur is generated in iron rust in layers, and these corrosion products are easily peeled off, and fall down and are deposited on a bottom part of a crude oil tank. Accordingly, in the inspection which is currently carried out every 2.5 years, the maintenance and repair of an upper part of a tank and the recovery of a deposited material on a bottom part of the tank are carried out spending a considerable amount of money.
- a most effective method for suppressing the above-mentioned general corrosion and local corrosion is a method in which heavy coating is applied to a surface of steel products thus shielding the steel products from a corrosion environment.
- a coating area is enormous.
- the corrosion at a damaged part of heavy-coated coating film is accelerated in a crude oil tank environment, to the contrary.

- EP 2 377 963 also discloses a corrosion resistant steel product.
- patent documents 3 and 4 are directed to techniques which aim at the acquisition of both of corrosion resistance in a crude oil corrosion environment and the corrosion resistance in a salt water corrosion environment in view of a fact that salt water is loaded in a ballast tank arranged outside a cargo oil tank when crude oil is not loaded in a tanker.
- These techniques focus on the corrosion resistance which steel products per se have as the corrosion resistance of an outer surface of a cargo oil tank after the deterioration of a corrosion prevention coating film with respect to.the salt water corrosion environment.
- the present invention has been developed to overcome the above-mentioned drawbacks, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a steel product for a crude oil tank which exhibits the excellent general corrosion resistance when used for forming an inner surface of a crude oil tank and, particularly, an upper deck and a side plate of the crude oil tank, exhibits the excellent local corrosion resistance also when used for forming a bottom plate of the crude oil tank and, further, exhibits the remarkably excellent general corrosion resistance and local corrosion resistance when used in a state where Zn is present on a surface of the steel products. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing the steel product, and a crude oil tank which uses the steel product.
- An inert gas which is sealed in a crude oil tank for explosion protection contains moisture. Accordingly, dew drops are formed on a surface of steel products which form an inner wall of the tank due to the temperature difference between daytime and night during navigation.
- CO 2 carbon dioxide
- O 2 oxygen
- SO 2 sulfur dioxide
- H 2 S hydrogen sulfide
- the corrosive acid solution in which these components are dissolved is concentrated in a process where a steel plate temperature is elevated, and the general corrosion occurs in a surface of the steel plate. Further, using iron rust formed on the surface of the steel plate as a catalyst, S (sulfur) is precipitated from H 2 S and a rust layer in which iron rust and sulfur are formed in layers is formed and hence, the rust layer formed on the surface of the steel plate becomes brittle and non-protective whereby the corrosion progresses continuously.
- the inventors of the present invention and the like have investigated the influence of respective alloy elements exerted on the general corrosion of a surface of a steel plate under an environment where dew condensation water which contains sulfate ion and chloride ion are present.
- the inventors have confirmed that the addition of Cu, Cr, and Sn densifies a rust layer formed on the surface of the steel plate formed in an environment where the steel plate is used as steel products for a crude oil tank thus enhancing the general corrosion resistance, and the addition of W and Sb promotes the formation of the dense rust layer thus enhancing the general corrosion resistance. That is, the inventors have found that steel products for a crude oil tank which exhibits the excellent general corrosion resistance can be obtained by mainly adding Cu, Cr and Sn and further by adding proper amounts of W and Sb.
- the inventors of the present invention carried out a corrosion test by extracting factors participating in the local corrosion of a bottom plate of a crude oil tank, and by combining these factors.
- the inventors have succeeded in the reproduction of the local corrosion which occurs in the bottom plate of the crude oil tank, and have obtained the following finding with respect to governing factors and a corrosion mechanism of the local corrosion.
- O 2 and H 2 S which are contained in a solution dwelling on the bottom plate act as main governing factors.
- the local corrosion occurs under an environment where O 2 and H 2 S coexist and both the O 2 concentration and H 2 S concentration fall within certain ranges (in an aqueous solution which contains a gas having O 2 concentration: 2 to 8vol%, H 2 S concentration: 0.1 to 5vol% in a saturated state). That is, under the environment with low O 2 concentration and low H 2 S concentration, H 2 S is oxidized so that the elemental sulfur is precipitated.
- This precipitated elemental sulfur forms a local battery between the elemental sulfur and the bottom plate of the crude oil tank thus causing the local corrosion in a surface of the steel products.
- This local corrosion is further promoted and grows under an acid environment where a chloride ion and a sulfate ion are present.
- the inventors of the present invention and the like have investigated the influence of respective alloy elements exerted on the occurrence of the local corrosion under the above-mentioned environment with low O 2 concentration and low H 2 S concentration.
- the inventors have confirmed that the addition of W densifies a rust layer formed on the surface of the steel plate formed in an environment where the steel plate is used as steel products for a crude oil tank thus enhancing the local corrosion resistance, and the addition of Sn and Sb assists the formation of the dense rust layer containing W thus enhancing the local corrosion resistance.

Further, the inventors have investigated the influence which the microstructure of the steel exerts on the corrosion resistance, and also have found that the corrosion resistance can be enhanced by generating 2% or more of pearlite in terms of an area rate.
