Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for the production of tubes made of steel with increased strength and improved toughness of the material.
  • the invention relates to a device for producing pipes with a special property profile consisting of a device for coolant treatment of a pipe surface.
  • the properties of the material of the tube wall can have significant differences locally and los related. These property differences are usually based on an uneven microstructure and on an unfavorable steel composition or an increased proportion of accompanying and impurity elements.
  • Tubes with a length of 7m and larger and an outer diameter of less than 200mm with a wall thickness of less than 25mm can be subjected to a heat treatment only with great effort, which provides a uniformly fine structure with the desired structure over the entire tube volume and minimizes bending perpendicular to the longitudinal direction ,
  • the invention is now based on the object of specifying a method with which during the production of a tube by hot forming, in particular by drawdown, downstream of a treatment thereof takes place, which causes an increase in strength and an improvement in the toughness of the pipe material.
  • the object is achieved by a generic method, in which by immediate rapid cooling after hot forming, in particular after deformation by means of stretch reducing, in each case within a period of at most 20 seconds after the final deformation at a temperature of higher 700 ° C, but below 1050 ° C. in the passage on the outer surface of the tube circumferentially in a length of greater than 400 times the pipe wall thickness, a cooling medium with increased pressure in an amount is applied, which in the rapid cooling an equal cooling rate of greater than 1 ° C / sec of the pipe wall over the pipe length to a temperature in the range of 500 ° C to 250 ° C, after which a further cooling of the Fbhres takes place in air to room temperature.
  • For an integrated tempering treatment may also be advantageous if, after the rapid cooling in a further cooling of the tube in air, a targeted reheating of the pipe wall surface area.
  • the method is used for producing seamless pipes with a length greater than 7 m, in particular up to 200 m, an outer diameter of greater than 20 mm, but less than 200 mm, a wall thickness of greater than 2.0 mm, but less than 25 mm, the increased quality of the pipe can be a considerable advantage reduce inventory and minimize damage due to breakage with significant repair costs.
  • At least one element of the steel may advantageously contain, in terms of a homogeneous high grade of pipe, contents in% by weight of: Carbon (C) 12:05 to 12:35 Phosphorus (P) Max 0015 Sulfur (S) Max 0005 Chrome (Cr) Max 1.0 Titanium (Ti) Max 12:02 exhibit.
  • the further object of the invention to provide a device for producing tubes made of steel with increased strength and improved toughness of the material by rapid cooling after deformation consisting of a means for coolant loading a pipe surface is achieved in that in the rolling direction after the last deformation stand a switchable passage cooling section with a plurality of arranged concentrically around the rolling stock, longitudinally differently positionable distributor rings for the cooling medium is formed in each case with at least 3, each directed substantially to the axis of nozzles, each distribution ring or each group of the same throughput controlled with the cooling medium is anspeisbar ,
  • a device according to the invention it is advantageously possible with a device according to the invention to subject tubes having a different longitudinal extent and with different diameters and wall thicknesses to a targeted heat treatment from the rolling heat, such that a desired microstructure, which is represented uniformly over the tube length, can be obtained.
  • the coolant stream can be designed in each case as a spray stream of coolant, usually water, and / or as a spray stream of coolant and air and / or as a gas stream.
  • regulations for tube cooling with position and temperature sensors are used to control the coolant flows.
  • Example 1 from tube pre-material of the same mother melt with a chemical composition in wt .-% according to Tab. 1
  • the pipe was introduced into a through-flow cooling section at a temperature of 880 ° C. after a time of 12 seconds.
  • microstructure revealed that at most there was in each case an advantageously rectified microstructure, essentially without texture, but with a grain size and microstructure distribution dependent on the final cooling temperature.
  • Fig. 1 shows a structure of sample P1, wherein a particle size of 20 .mu.m - 30 .mu.m at high ferrite content was present.
  • the further structural component was essentially perlite.
  • Fig. 5 shows in a bar graph the measured values yield strength (Rp) (0.2) [MPa], tensile strength (Rm) [MPa], constriction (Ac) [%] and toughness (KV450) [J] of the samples P1 to P4, ie depending on the achieved by the different cooling parameters in the annealing technology, mechanical material properties.
  • Fig. 6 shows the measured hardness values over the pipe length of test tubes P1 and P4.
  • Fig. 7 the hardness profile of the material in the quadrant is shown over the pipe wall thickness of the test tube P2.
  • the measurement results of the four quadrants Q1 to Q4 are averages of four spaced measurements per quadrant in the outer, middle and inner regions of the tube wall.
