Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a steel sheet used for crude oil refining equipment, storage tanks, heat exchangers, reaction furnaces, condensers and the like in wet hydrogen sulfide environments, and more particularly, to a steel sheet having excellent strength and toughness even after performing a Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • PWHT Post Weld Heat Treatment
  • Post Weld Heat Treatment is carried out to eliminate stress generated during welding with the objects of stabilizing shape and size and preventing the deformation of a structure after welding if the steel is welded in addition to the above-mentioned thickening of steel.
  • PWHT Post Weld Heat Treatment
  • a steel sheet passing through the PWHT process for a lengthy period of time has a problem in that tensile strength of the steel sheet may be deteriorated due to coarsening in the structure of the steel sheet.
  • Document US 2009/0025839 A1 discloses a high tensile strength, refractory steel which comprises, in mass percent, approximately C: 0.04 to 0.15%, Si: 0.50% or less, Mn: 0.50 to 2.00%, P: 0.020% or less, S: 0.010% or less, Nb: 0.01 to 0.5%, Mo: 0.30% or more and less than 0.70%, Al: 0.060% or less, N: 0.0010 to 0.0060%, and the balance consisting of iron and unavoidable impurities.
  • a lengthy PWHT process causes a phenomenon in which strength and toughness of the steel sheet are lowered at the same time depending on softening of matrix structures and grain boundaries, growth of crystal grains, coarsening of carbides, and others.
  • a means for preventing the deterioration of physical properties according to the above-mentioned long-time PWHT process disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 1997-256037 enabled assurance time for PWHT up to 16 hours by the processes of performing heating and hot rolling on a slab comprising, by weight percent, 0.05 to 0.20% of C, 0.02 to 0.5% of Si, 0.2 to 2.0% of Mn, 0.005 to 0.10% of Al, and containing, if necessary, one or more selected from Cu, Ni, Cr, Mo, V, Nb, Ti, B and Ca, and rare-earth elements with the remainder being iron and unavoidable impurities, air cooling the hot rolled steel sheet at room temperature, and heating and slow cooling the air-cooled steel sheet at the transformation point of Ac1 to Ac3.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a high strength steel sheet having excellent Post Weld Heat Treatment (PWHT) resistance of which strength and toughness are not deteriorated even after performing PWHT for a lengthy period of time, and a method for manufacturing the same.
  • PWHT Post Weld Heat Treatment
  • the present invention provides a high strength steel sheet excellent in PWHT (Post Weld Heat Treatment) resistance having a composition comprising by weight percent: 0.1 to 0.3% of C; 0.15 to 0.50% of Si; 0.6 to 1.2% of Mn; 0.035% or less of P; 0.020% or less of S; optionally 0.001 to 0.05% of Al; 0.01 to 0.35% of Cr; 0.005 to 0.2% of Mo; 0.005 to 0.05% of V; 0.001 to 0.05% of Nb; 0.001 to 0.05% of Ti; 0.0005 to 0.005% of Ca; 0.05 to 0.5% of Ni; one or more selected from the group consisting of 0.005 to 0.5% of Cu, 0.005 to 0.2% of Co and 0.005 to 0.2% of W; and Fe as well as unavoidable impurities, wherein the composition satisfies the following relational expression:
  • the present invention provides a method for manufacturing the high strength steel sheet excellent in PWHT resistance, the method comprising:
  • a steel sheet for pressure vessels which has strength of 500 MPa or more, of which strength and toughness are not deteriorated even after PWHT reaching 100 hours, and which is excellent in hydrogen-induced cracking resistance can be provided.
  • weight percent (wt%) a composition range of the present invention
  • the content of carbon (C) is limited to a range of 0.1 to 0.3 wt%.
  • C as an element for improving strength of a steel sheet, has problems that the strength of the steel sheet in a matrix phase is lowered with a C content of less than 0.1 wt%, and segregation is generated in the structure to deteriorate hydrogen-induced cracking resistance with a C content of more than 0.3 wt%.
  • Si silicon
  • Si is an element that is effective in deoxidation and solid solution strengthening
  • Si is an element that is added to obtain an effect of increasing the impact transition temperature.
  • Si should be added in an amount of 0.15 wt% or more to accomplish such effects, there are problems that weldability is deteriorated, and an oxidation film is severely formed on the surface of the steel sheet if Si is added in an amount of more than 0.5 wt%.
  • the content of manganese (Mn) is limited to being within the range of 0.6 to 1.2 wt%.
  • Mn is preferably controlled to the content of 1.2 wt% or less since Mn along with S forms MnS, an elongated nonmetallic inclusion, thereby deteriorating elongation at room temperature and low temperature toughness.
  • the content of Mn is limited to being within the range of 0.6 to 1.2 wt% since it is difficult to secure proper strength due to the nature of the present invention if Mn is added to the content of less than 0.6 wt%.
  • the content of aluminum (Al) is optionally limited to being within the range of 0.001 to 0.5 wt%.
  • Al together with the above-mentioned Si is one of strong deoxidizers in the steelmaking process, and has problems that the deoxidation effect is insignificant with an Al content of less than 0.001 wt%, and the deoxidation effect is saturated and manufacturing costs increases if Al is added in an amount of more than 0.05 wt%.
  • phosphorous (P) is an element that deteriorates low temperature toughness
  • phosphorous (P) is controlled to be within the range of 0.035 wt% or less since it costs excessively to eliminate phosphorous (P) in the steelmaking process.
  • Sulfur (S) along with phosphorous (P) is also an element that adversely affects low temperature toughness, it is to control sulfur (S) within the range of 0.020 wt% or less since it may cost excessively to eliminate sulfur (S) in the steelmaking process as in the case of phosphorous (P).
  • the content of chromium (Cr) is limited to being within the range of 0.01 to 0.35 wt%.
  • Cr is added in an amount of 0.01 wt% or more to obtain the strength increasing effect in the present invention since chromium (Cr) is an element that increases strength, it is advantageous to control chromium (Cr) to the amount of 0.35 wt% or less since chromium (Cr) is a relatively expensive element, and chromium (Cr) causes manufacturing costs to be increased if chromium (Cr) is added in an amount of more than 0.35 wt%.
  • Mo molybdenum
  • Mo is an element that prevents cracking of the steel sheet due to sulfides as well as an element that is effective in increasing strength of the steel sheet as in the case of Cr.
  • Mo is added to the amount of 0.005 wt% or more to obtain the effects, it is advantageous to limit the amount of Mo to 0.2 wt% or less since Mo is also a relatively expensive element and causes manufacturing costs to increase.
  • V vanadium
  • the content of vanadium (V) is limited to being within the range of 0.005 to 0.05 wt%.
  • V is an element that is effective in increasing the strength of the steel sheet as in the cases of Cr and Mo. Therefore, although V is added in an amount of 0.005 wt% or more to promote the effect of increasing strength of the steel sheet, it is advantageous to add V in an amount of 0.05 wt% or less since V is a relatively expensive element.
  • Nb niobium
  • the content of niobium (Nb) is limited to being within the range of 0.001 to 0.05 wt%.
  • Nb is an important element that exists in the state of solid solution within austenite to increase hardenability of austenite, and that is precipitated into carbonitrides (Nb(C,N)) matching the matrix to increase strength of the steel sheet.
  • Nb is added in an amount of 0.001 wt% or more to obtain the effects, it is advantageous to limit the content of Nb to 0.05 wt% or less since Nb exists in the form of coarse precipitates in the continuous casting process and functions as a site of hydrogen induced cracking if Nb is added in a large amount.
  • Ti titanium
  • Ti is limited to being within the range of 0.001 to 0.05 wt%.
  • Ti like Nb is an important element that is precipitated into carbonitrides (Ti(C,N)) and increases strength of the steel sheet.
  • Ti is added in an amount of 0.001 wt% or more to obtain the effects, it is advantageous to limit the content of Ti to 0.05 wt% or less since Ti exists in the form of coarse precipitates in the continuous casting process and functions as a site of hydrogen induced cracking if Ti is added in a large amount.
  • the content of calcium (Ca) is limited to being within the range of 0.0005 to 0.005 wt.%.
  • Ca is added in an amount of 0.0005 wt% or more such that Ca is produced into CaS to inhibit the formation of nonmetallic inclusions such as MnS.
  • an upper limit value of the content is limited to 0.005 wt% since Ca is reacted with O contained in steel to produce CaO that is a nonmetallic inclusion if the content of Ca exceeds 0.005 wt%.
  • Ni nickel
  • the content of nickel (Ni) is limited to being within the range of 0.05 to 0.5 wt%. It is advantageous to add Ni in an amount of 0.5 wt% or less since Ni is a relatively expensive element and causes manufacturing costs to increase although Ni is added in an amount of 0.05 wt% or more to obtain the effect as an element that is most effective in improving low temperature toughness of the steel sheet.
  • composition of the present invention comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of Cu, Co, and W.
  • Copper (Cu) is selected it is added in an amount of 0.005 to 0.5 wt%. Cu prevents strength of the steel sheet from deteriorating even after performing PWHT according to matrix strengthening by solution strengthening or e-Cu precipitation, and prevents strength and toughness of the steel sheet from deteriorating through matrix strengthening and recovery inhibition. If copper (Cu) is selected, it is advantageous to add Cu within the range of 0.005 to 0.5 wt% since it is relatively expensive.
  • Cobalt (Co) is selected, cobalt (Co) is added in an amount of 0.005 to 0.2 wt%. If Cobalt (Co) is selected, cobalt (Co) is added in a range of 0.005 to 0.2 wt% since it is relatively expensive, although Co is an element that is effective in preventing softening of the matrix structure.
  • Tungsten (W) is selected, it is added in an amount of 0.005 to 0.2 wt%. If Tungsten (W) is selected, it is added in an amount of 0.005 wt% or more since it has characteristics that can prevent strength and toughness of the steel sheet from deteriorating by forming WC or reducing a precipitation fraction of cementite, thereby preventing growth of cementite or coagulation inhibition of cementite. It is advantageous to add W within a range of 0.005 to 0.2 wt% since W is relatively expensive.
  • the Ca/S ratio is an essential composition ratio improving hydrogen induced cracking resistance of the steel sheet by spheroidizing MnS inclusions.
  • the ratio is controlled to 1.0 or less since its effects are difficult to expect if the Ca/S ratio exceeds 1.0.
  • the composition comprises Fe as well as unavoidable impurities as a remainder.
  • the microstructure of the steel may be formed in a ferrite structure or a mixed structure of ferrite and pearlite.
  • the structure may comprise up to 10 wt% of bainite although it is preferable that low temperature structure is not included in the above-mentioned structure if possible.
  • the reason for controlling the structure in the above-stated form is that a steel sheet of the present invention should be excellent in a target hydrogen induced cracking resistance and should have proper strength and toughness.
  • a banding index value (measured by ASTM E-1268) exhibiting how much the banding structure that is weak in hydrogen induced cracking has been formed is preferably 0.25 or less in order to secure hydrogen induced cracking resistance. Hydrogen induced cracking resistance is rapidly lowered in the microstructure if the banding index value exceeds 0.25.
  • the center of a steel sheet in a thickness direction preferably has an average ferrite grain size of 50 ⁇ m or less since it is apprehended that strength and toughness of the steel sheet are deteriorated if the ferrite grains have excessive sizes.
  • the crystal grain sizes do not have a lower limit, the crystal grain sizes may have 5 ⁇ m or more since it is generally difficult to obtain crystal grains of less than 5 ⁇ m from a target steel of the present invention.
  • the manufacturing method according to the present invention comprises reheating a steel slab satisfying the above-mentioned composition range to a temperature range of 1050 to 1250°C since a solid solution of solute atoms is difficult if the reheating temperature is lower than 1050°C, and sizes of austenite crystal grains become too coarse to deteriorate properties of the steel sheet if the reheating temperature is more than 1250°C.
  • the recrystallization controlled rolling is carried out by hot rolling the reheated steel slab at a no-recrystallization temperature or more.
  • T nr the foregoing no-recrystallization temperature can be calculated by the following expression.
  • T nr °C 887 + 464 ⁇ C + 890 ⁇ Ti + 363 ⁇ Al ⁇ 357 ⁇ Si + 6446 ⁇ Nb ⁇ 644 ⁇ Nb 1 / 2 + 732 ⁇ V ⁇ 230 ⁇ V 1 / 2
  • recrystallization controlled rolling is the most important variable, and the recrystallization controlled rolling is preferably performed by applying 10% or more of rolling reduction per each rolling pass in a temperature range of T nr to T nr + 100°C, thereby imparting a cumulative rolling reduction of 30% or more since a banding index value of 0.25 or less cannot be expected if the cumulative rolling reduction is less than 30%. Further, temperature of recrystallization controlled rolling is also limited to a control banding index, thereby inhibiting the band structure in the state that crystal grains have not become coarse.
  • the temperature is lower than a no-recrystallization temperature range (T nr ) since austenite is flattened into a pancake such that the banding index value is increased.
  • T nr a no-recrystallization temperature range
  • temperature is excessively high since crystal grains have excessive sizes.
  • a cooled hot-rolled steel sheet is heat-treated.
  • the heat treatment is held under conditions of a temperature range of 850°C to 950°C and a time period of 1.3xt + (10 to 30) in minutes, wherein t is thickness (mm) of steel. It is difficult to secure strength of the steel sheet since it is difficult to resolve solute atoms for solid solution if the heat treatment is conducted at a temperature of less than 850°C, whereas low temperature of the steel sheet is deteriorated since crystal grains are grown if the heat treatment is conducted at a temperature of more than 950°C.
  • the heat treatment holding time is limited since homogenization of the structure is difficult if the holding time is less than 1.3xt + 10 minutes (t is thickness (mm) of steel), and productivity is deteriorated if the holding time is more than 1.3*t + 30 in minutes (t is thickness (mm) of steel).
  • the held steel sheet is cooled to a cooling rate of 0.1 to 10 °C/sec based on the central part of the steel sheet since there are high possibilities that coarsening of ferrite grains may be generated during cooling at a cooling rate of 0.1 °C/sec or less, and an excessive second phase (10 % or more of bainite fraction) may be generated at a cooling rate of 10 °C/sec or more.
  • the foregoing cooling rate is controlled to adjust an average ferrite grain size in the central part of the steel sheet to 50 ⁇ m or less.
  • PWHT is required in a steel sheet of the present invention manufactured through the heat treatment process in order to eliminate residual stress by the welding process added during fabrication of pressure vessels.
  • strength and toughness of the steel sheet are generally deteriorated after performing PWHT on a steel sheet for a lengthy period of time
  • the steel sheet manufactured by the present invention has a merit that welding work is possible without a large drop in strength or toughness of the steel sheet even when the steel sheet is subjected to PWHT at an ordinary PWHT temperature of 600°C to 640°C for a lengthy period of time of up to 100 hours.
  • the steel sheet of the present invention has a tensile strength of 450 MPa or more even after performing PWHT for 100 hours, and satisfies a Charpy impact energy value of 50 J or more at - 50°C.
  • the following table 1 exhibits chemical components of inventive steels and comparative steels respectively.
  • Steel slabs having the same compositions as shown in the table 1 were manufactured by conducting rolling, heat treatment and cooling under conditions of steel sheet thicknesses and reheating temperatures of the table 2.
  • yield strengths, tensile strengths and crack length ratios (CLR) of the steel sheets were examined, and the examination results were shown in the following table 2.
  • inventive steels satisfying compositions and manufacturing conditions have strength and toughness values that are not lowered although the PWHT time reaches 50 to 100 hours.
  • strength and toughness values of the comparative steels are substantially deteriorated than those of the inventive steels as the PWHT time is extended to 50 hours or more although the comparative steels show strength and toughness levels that are almost equal to those of the inventive steels if the PWHT time is small when comparing the comparative steels with the invention steels.
  • the inventive steels are far excellent in the CLR (Crack Length Ratio) (%) exhibiting hydrogen induced cracking resistance under the H2S gas (Sour Gas) atmosphere.
  • the inventive steels are excellent in the CLR (Crack Length Ratio) because the Banding Index showing the homogenization extent of microstructures formed in a composite structure of ferrite and pearlite is controlled to a lower value of 0.25 or less.
