Description

本発明は、船舶や海洋構造物、水圧鉄管等に用いられる、引張強さが570MPa以上、720MPa以下で、脆性亀裂伝播停止特性、特にNRL落重試験における無延性遷移温度(TNDT)に優れる厚鋼板とその製造方法に関するものである。なお、本発明の「厚鋼板」とは、板厚が6mm以上100mm以下の熱延鋼板をいう。 The present invention is used for ships, offshore structures, hydraulic iron pipes, etc., and has a tensile strength of 570 MPa or more and 720 MPa or less, and is excellent in brittle crack propagation stop characteristics, particularly in the non-ductile transition temperature (T NDT ) in the NRL drop weight test. The present invention relates to a thick steel plate and a manufacturing method thereof. In addition, the “thick steel plate” of the present invention refers to a hot rolled steel plate having a thickness of 6 mm or more and 100 mm or less.

船舶や海洋構造物、水圧鉄管等に用いられる鋼板には、強度特性や低温靱性に優れることの他に、良好な溶接性を有することが要求される。特に近年では、エネルギー需要の拡大等によって、従来よりも低温環境で使用されるようになってきており、上記特性に優れる材料の開発が強く望まれるようになってきている。   Steel sheets used for ships, offshore structures, hydraulic iron pipes and the like are required to have good weldability in addition to excellent strength characteristics and low temperature toughness. Particularly in recent years, due to the expansion of energy demand and the like, it has come to be used in a lower temperature environment than before, and development of a material having excellent characteristics has been strongly desired.

上記低温靭性の評価基準としては、一般的にはシャルピー衝撃試験が用いられているが、ASTMでは、さらに脆性亀裂伝播停止特性を評価する基準として、NRL落重試験が規定されている。特に近年では、使用温度の低温化に伴い、上記NRL落重試験における要求温度の低温化が進んでおり、鋼板に対するNRL落重特性改善要求も高まってきている。   The Charpy impact test is generally used as the evaluation standard for the low temperature toughness, but the NRL drop weight test is specified as a standard for further evaluating the brittle crack propagation stop characteristic in ASTM. Particularly in recent years, as the service temperature is lowered, the required temperature in the NRL drop weight test has been lowered, and the demand for improving the NRL drop weight characteristic for steel sheets has also increased.

ところで、低温靭性を改善するには、従来からNiの添加が有効であることが知られている。しかし、Niは高価な元素であり、原料コストの上昇を招くため、Ni添加量をできるだけ低く抑えた上で、必要なNRL落重特性を満たすことが望まれている。   By the way, in order to improve the low-temperature toughness, it has been conventionally known that addition of Ni is effective. However, since Ni is an expensive element and causes an increase in raw material cost, it is desired to satisfy the necessary NRL drop weight characteristics while keeping the amount of Ni added as low as possible.

引張強さTSが570MPa以上、720MPa以下で、かつ、Niを多量に含まない、NRL落重特性に優れた調質型高強度鋼板としては、例えば、特許文献1には、C:0.08〜0.16mass%、Ni:0.15〜0.60mass%、NbおよびBを必須添加元素とし、ミクロ組織を下部ベイナイト組織とすることで、NRL落重特性を向上させた板厚40mm〜80mmの鋼板が開示されている。   As a tempered high-strength steel sheet having a tensile strength TS of 570 MPa or more and 720 MPa or less and not containing a large amount of Ni and having excellent NRL drop weight characteristics, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses C: 0.08. ~ 0.16 mass%, Ni: 0.15 to 0.60 mass%, Nb and B are essential additive elements, and the microstructure is a lower bainite structure, thereby improving the NRL drop weight characteristics 40 mm to 80 mm A steel sheet is disclosed.

また、特許文献2には、C:0.04〜0.08mass%、Ni:0.05〜0.60mass%、NbおよびBを実質的に無添加とした調質型600MPa級鋼板において、ミクロ組織を焼戻しベイナイトおよび/または焼戻しマルテンサイトとすることで、応力除去焼鈍(PWHT:Post Weld Heat Treatment)後の落重特性を向上させた板厚80mm以下の鋼板が開示されている。   In Patent Document 2, C: 0.04 to 0.08 mass%, Ni: 0.05 to 0.60 mass%, a tempered 600 MPa grade steel plate substantially free of Nb and B, A steel sheet having a thickness of 80 mm or less is disclosed in which the drop weight characteristic after post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) is improved by using tempered bainite and / or tempered martensite as the structure.

また、特許文献3には、C:0.1〜0.16mass%、Ni:0.6mass%以下、B:0.0005〜0.002mass%を添加し、F=9.4×[Mo]+8.1×[V]+4.7×[Cr]からなるF値を3.20以上4.50以下とし、15°以上の大角粒界で囲まれた結晶粒の平均円相当径が4μm以下の焼戻しベイナイト組織とすることで落重特性を向上させた板厚80mm以上の鋼板が開示されている。   Further, Patent Document 3 includes C: 0.1 to 0.16 mass%, Ni: 0.6 mass% or less, and B: 0.0005 to 0.002 mass%, and F = 9.4 × [Mo]. The F value consisting of + 8.1 × [V] + 4.7 × [Cr] is 3.20 or more and 4.50 or less, and the average equivalent circle diameter of crystal grains surrounded by a large-angle grain boundary of 15 ° or more is 4 μm or less. A steel sheet having a thickness of 80 mm or more with improved drop weight characteristics by using a tempered bainite structure is disclosed.

また、特許文献4には、C:0.03〜0.150mass%、Ni:2mass%以下を含有し、ミクロ組織を、ベイナイトの面積率が90%以上で、ベイナイトのラス幅の平均値が3.5μm以下、ベイナイト中の島状マルテンサイトの円相当径の最大値が3.0μm以下とすることで、落重特性を向上させた板厚50mm以上の鋼板が開示されている。   Patent Document 4 contains C: 0.03 to 0.150 mass%, Ni: 2 mass% or less, and has a microstructure with an area ratio of bainite of 90% or more and an average value of bainite lath width. A steel sheet having a thickness of 50 mm or more with improved drop weight characteristics is disclosed by setting the maximum equivalent circle diameter of island martensite in bainite to 3.5 μm or less and 3.0 μm or less.

しかしながら、上記特許文献1および2に開示の技術は、記載されている落重特性TNDTは、−30℃〜−50℃程度であり、近年の低温化したNRL落重特性に対する要求(TNDT≦−65℃)を満足することはできない。また、特許文献3に開示の技術は、板厚80mm以上の厚肉材を対象としており、焼入時の冷却速度が遅い厚肉材においては、良好な落重特性が得られるが、C含有量が0.10mass%以上と高いために、板厚40〜60mm程度の鋼板に適用した場合には、マルテンサイト主体の組織となり、落重特性の低下が懸念される。また、特許文献4に開示の技術は、板厚50mm以上、特に100mmの鋼板を対象としていることから、鋼板のミクロ組織は島状マルテンサイトを含む上部ベイナイト組織を主体とした組織となるため、その上部ベイナイト中の島状マルテンサイトを小さくするために、焼戻しを2回実施することが必須となっているため、製造コストが高いという問題がある。 However, in the techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the drop weight characteristic T NDT described is about −30 ° C. to −50 ° C., and the recent demand for NRL drop weight characteristics (T NDT) ≦ −65 ° C.) cannot be satisfied. In addition, the technique disclosed in Patent Document 3 is intended for thick materials with a plate thickness of 80 mm or more, and in thick materials with a slow cooling rate during quenching, good drop weight characteristics can be obtained. Since the amount is as high as 0.10 mass% or more, when it is applied to a steel plate having a thickness of about 40 to 60 mm, it becomes a martensite-based structure, and there is a concern that the drop weight characteristic may be deteriorated. In addition, since the technique disclosed in Patent Document 4 is intended for a steel sheet having a thickness of 50 mm or more, particularly 100 mm, the microstructure of the steel sheet is a structure mainly composed of an upper bainite structure including island martensite. In order to reduce the island-like martensite in the upper bainite, it is essential to perform tempering twice, so that there is a problem that the manufacturing cost is high.

また、近年では、設計温度の低温化により、NRL落重試験のTNDTとして−65℃以下が要求されるようになってきている。さらに、鋼板中心部での靭性確保も重要であり、板厚1/2位置でのNRL落重特性の向上も求められている。そのため、従来技術では、焼入−焼戻処理を施す調質型600MPa級で、板厚100mm以下の厚鋼板において、多量のNi添加を必要とすることなく、脆性亀裂伝播停止特性、即ち、NRL落重試験のTNDTを−65℃以下とすることは難しいのが実情であった。 In recent years, by lowering the design temperature, it is -65 ° C. or less has come to be required as T NDT of NRL drop weight test. Furthermore, securing toughness at the center of the steel sheet is also important, and improvement of the NRL drop weight characteristic at the position of 1/2 the sheet thickness is also required. Therefore, in the prior art, a tempering type 600 MPa class subjected to quenching and tempering treatment, and a steel plate having a thickness of 100 mm or less, a brittle crack propagation stop characteristic, that is, NRL without requiring a large amount of Ni addition. the it is difficult to the T NDT of drop weight test as -65 ° C. or less was circumstances.

本発明は、従来技術が抱える上記問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的は、Niを多量に添加することなく、引張強さTSが570MPa以上、720MPa以下、かつ、NRL落重試験のTNDTが−65℃以下で、板厚100mm以下の厚鋼板を提供するとともに、その有利な製造方法を提案することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and the purpose thereof is to add a large amount of Ni, and have a tensile strength TS of 570 MPa or more and 720 MPa or less, and an NRL drop weight test. In addition to providing a thick steel plate having a TNDT of −65 ° C. or less and a plate thickness of 100 mm or less, an advantageous manufacturing method thereof is proposed.

発明者らは、上記課題の解決に向けて鋭意研究を重ねた。その結果、所定の成分組成を有する鋼素材(スラブ)を、適正条件下で100mm以下に制御圧延・制御冷却する熱間圧延した後、焼入れ−焼戻し処理して厚鋼板を製造する際、上記制御圧延・制御冷却により、板厚1/2位置において{111}<110>集合組織を発達させるとともに、焼入後の引張強さTSを850MPa以上、1100MPa以下に制御した後、適切な温度で焼戻し、ミクロ組織を焼戻し下部ベイナイトおよび焼戻しマルテンサイトとすることで、引張強さTSが570MPa以上、720MPa以下で、かつ、NRL落重試験のTNDTが−65℃以下の脆性亀裂伝播停止特性に優れた厚鋼板を得ることができることを見出し、本発明を開発するに至った。 The inventors have intensively studied to solve the above problems. As a result, a steel material (slab) having a predetermined component composition is hot-rolled under controlled conditions and controlled to 100 mm or less under appropriate conditions, and then quenched and tempered to produce a thick steel plate. By rolling and controlled cooling, the {111} <110> texture is developed at the 1/2 position of the plate thickness, and the tensile strength TS after quenching is controlled to 850 MPa or more and 1100 MPa or less, and then tempered at an appropriate temperature. , with the microstructure tempered lower bainite and tempered martensite, the tensile strength TS is more than 570 MPa, below 720 MPa, and, T NDT of NRL drop weight test excellent brittle crack propagation stop characteristics of -65 ° C. or less The present inventors have found that a thick steel plate can be obtained and developed the present invention.

Here, the above-mentioned T NDT in the present invention, non-ductile transition temperature in NRL drop weight test as specified in ASTM E208 (NDT Temperature: nil-ductility transition temperature) means that.

次に、本発明を開発するに至った実験について説明する。
発明者らは、上記の高強度で優れた脆性亀裂伝播停止特性を有する鋼を開発するため、C:0.04〜0.20mass%、Ni:1.50mass%以下を含有する鋼に、さらに、Si,Mn,Cu,Cr,MoおよびVを添加し、下記(1)式;
eq(mass%)=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Cu+Ni)/15 ・・・(1)
で定義されるC当量Ceq(mass%)を、0.35〜0.55mass%の範囲に揃えた各種成分組成の鋼を実験室的に溶製し、種々の条件で制御圧延・制御冷却して厚さが25mmの厚鋼板とした後、再加熱し、2℃/s以上の種々の冷却速度で焼入れ処理した。この焼入後の鋼板について、引張試験を行い、引張強さTSを測定するとともに、光学顕微鏡および走査型電子顕微鏡を用いてミクロ組織を観察した。
次いで、上記焼入後の厚鋼板を、550〜700℃の温度で焼き戻し処理し、焼き戻し後の引張強さTSが570〜720MPaの調質型600MPa級厚鋼板を得た。
斯くして得た厚鋼板について、ASTM規格 A370に準拠し、C方向に試験片を採取し、A370に準拠してシャルピー衝撃試験を行い、破面遷移温度vTrsを測定するとともに、ASTM E208に準拠して、P−3試験片(厚さ16mm×幅50mm×長さ130mm)をC方向に採取し、落重試験を行い、無延性遷移温度TNDTを求めた。
Next, the experiment that led to the development of the present invention will be described.
In order to develop a steel having the above-described high strength and excellent brittle crack propagation stopping characteristics, the inventors further added a steel containing C: 0.04 to 0.20 mass%, Ni: 1.50 mass% or less, , Si, Mn, Cu, Cr, Mo and V are added, and the following formula (1):
C eq (mass%) = C + Mn / 6 + (Cr + Mo + V) / 5 + (Cu + Ni) / 15 (1)
In the laboratory, steels with various compositional compositions with C equivalent C eq (mass%) defined in the above are in the range of 0.35 to 0.55 mass%, and controlled rolling / cooling under various conditions. Then, after making a steel plate having a thickness of 25 mm, it was reheated and quenched at various cooling rates of 2 ° C./s or more. The quenched steel sheet was subjected to a tensile test to measure the tensile strength TS, and the microstructure was observed using an optical microscope and a scanning electron microscope.
Subsequently, the quenched steel plate was tempered at a temperature of 550 to 700 ° C. to obtain a tempered 600 MPa class thick steel plate having a tensile strength TS of 570 to 720 MPa after tempering.

Figure 1 differs from that of the tensile strength TS and microstructure after quenching, the relationship between T NDT in drop weight test after tempering is shown schematically. From this figure, the hardenability is increased to a tensile strength TS after quenching of 850 MPa or more and 1100 MPa or less, and the steel microstructure is changed to lower bainite and martensite, and then tempered to obtain a tensile strength TS of 570 MPa or more and 720 MPa or less. It can be seen that only in this case, the non-ductile transition temperature T NDT in the drop weight test after tempering can be set to −65 ° C. or lower.
The present invention has been developed based on the above novel findings.

次に、本発明の厚鋼板の成分組成を限定する理由について説明する。
C:0.05〜0.15mass%
Cは、鋼の焼入性および強度を確保するために必須の元素であり、Ceqが0.50以下の成分組成で、焼入後の引張強さを850MPa以上とするためには、0.05mass%以上含有させる必要がある。一方、0.15mass%を超えて添加すると、母材と溶接熱影響部の靭性低下、および、溶接性の低下を招く。よって、Cの含有量は0.05〜0.15mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.07〜0.12mass%の範囲であり、より好ましくは0.08〜0.10mass%の範囲である。
Next, the reason which limits the component composition of the thick steel plate of this invention is demonstrated.
C: 0.05-0.15 mass%
C is an essential element for ensuring the hardenability and strength of the steel. The component composition of C eq is 0.50 or less, and in order to set the tensile strength after quenching to 850 MPa or more, 0 .05 mass% or more must be contained. On the other hand, if added in excess of 0.15 mass%, the toughness of the base metal and the weld heat-affected zone and the weldability are reduced. Therefore, the C content is in the range of 0.05 to 0.15 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.07-0.12 mass%, More preferably, it is the range of 0.08-0.10 mass%.

Si:0.05〜0.60mass%
Siは、鋼の脱酸剤として添加される元素である。また、固溶強化によって鋼の強度を高めるのに有効な元素でもある。上記の効果を得るためには、0.05mass%以上含有させる必要がある。一方、0.60mass%を超えて添加すると、溶接熱影響部の靭性が低下する。よって、Siの含有量は0.05〜0.60mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.10〜0.40mass%の範囲である。
Si: 0.05-0.60 mass%
Si is an element added as a deoxidizer for steel. It is also an effective element for increasing the strength of steel by solid solution strengthening. In order to acquire said effect, it is necessary to contain 0.05 mass% or more. On the other hand, if added over 0.60 mass%, the toughness of the weld heat affected zone decreases. Therefore, the Si content is in the range of 0.05 to 0.60 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.10-0.40 mass%.

Mn:0.8〜1.8mass%
Mnは、鋼の脱酸剤として添加される元素である。また、鋼の焼入れ性を向上し、強度を高めるのに有効な元素でもある。上記効果を得るためには、0.8mass%以上含有させる必要がある。一方、1.8mass%を超えて添加すると、溶接性や溶接熱影響部の靭性を低下させる。よって、Mnの含有量は0.8〜1.8mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは1.2〜1.6mass%の範囲である。
Mn: 0.8 to 1.8 mass%
Mn is an element added as a deoxidizer for steel. It is also an element effective in improving the hardenability of steel and increasing its strength. In order to acquire the said effect, it is necessary to make it contain 0.8 mass% or more. On the other hand, if added over 1.8 mass%, the weldability and the toughness of the heat affected zone are reduced. Therefore, the Mn content is in the range of 0.8 to 1.8 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 1.2-1.6 mass%.

P:0.020mass%以下
Pは、鋼中に不可避的に混入し、焼戻し後の冷却中や、溶接後の応力除去焼鈍(PWHT)の徐冷過程で、旧オーステナイト粒界に偏析して粒界脆化を助長し、落重特性を低下させる。そのため、Pの含有量は極力低減することが望ましいが、0.020mass%以下であれば、粒界脆化を防止することができる。よって、本発明では、Pの含有量を0.020mass%以下に制限する。好ましくは0.015mass%以下である。より好ましくは0.010mass%以下である。
P: 0.020 mass% or less P is inevitably mixed in steel and segregates in the prior austenite grain boundaries during cooling after tempering or in the annealing process of stress relief annealing (PWHT) after welding. It promotes interfacial embrittlement and reduces the falling weight characteristics. Therefore, it is desirable to reduce the content of P as much as possible, but if it is 0.020 mass% or less, grain boundary embrittlement can be prevented. Therefore, in the present invention, the P content is limited to 0.020 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.015 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 0.010 mass% or less.

S:0.005mass%以下
Sは、鋼中に不可避的に混入し、鋼中にMnSなどの硫化物系介在物として存在し、靱性を低下させる元素であるため、極力低減することが望ましい。そこで、本発明においては、落重特性を確保するため、Sの含有量を0.005mass%以下に制限する。好ましくは0.003mass%以下である。より好ましくは0.002mass%以下である。
S: 0.005 mass% or less S is an element that is inevitably mixed in steel and exists as sulfide inclusions such as MnS in the steel, and is an element that lowers toughness.

Preferably it is 0.003 mass% or less. More preferably, it is 0.002 mass% or less.

Alは、脱酸元素として添加される元素であり、また、AlNによる焼入れ加熱時の結晶粒の微細化を通じて靭性向上に寄与する有用な元素である。これらの効果を発現させるためには、0.005mass%以上含有させる必要がある。一方、0.080mass%を超えて添加すると、AlNの粗大化による結晶粒粗大化に起因した母材靭性低下や溶接熱部の靭性低下という問題を引き起こす。よって、Alの含有量は0.005〜0.080mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.020〜0.060mass%の範囲である。
Al: 0.005-0.080 mass%
Al is an element added as a deoxidizing element, and is a useful element that contributes to improving toughness through refinement of crystal grains during quenching heating with AlN. In order to express these effects, it is necessary to contain 0.005 mass% or more. On the other hand, if it is added in excess of 0.080 mass%, it causes a problem that the base metal toughness is reduced due to the coarsening of the crystal grains due to the coarsening of AlN and the toughness of the welded hot zone is reduced. Therefore, the Al content is in the range of 0.005 to 0.080 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.020-0.060mass%.

N:0.0005〜0.0050mass%
Nは、AlとAlNを形成し、焼入れ加熱時のオーステナイト粒を微細化することによって、鋼の靱性向上に有効に寄与する。上記効果を得るためには0.0005mass%以上含有させることが必要である。しかし、0.0050mass%を超えて添加すると、溶接部の靱性低下を招く。よって、Nの含有量は0.0005〜0.0050mass%の範囲とする。好ましくは0.0010〜0.0040mass%の範囲である。
N: 0.0005 to 0.0050 mass%
N contributes effectively to improving the toughness of the steel by forming Al and AlN and refining the austenite grains during quenching heating. In order to acquire the said effect, it is necessary to contain 0.0005 mass% or more. However, if added over 0.0050 mass%, the toughness of the welded portion is reduced. Therefore, the N content is in the range of 0.0005 to 0.0050 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.0010-0.0040 mass%.

Cr: 0.50 mass% or less Cr is an element useful for improving the hardenability and increasing the strength of the steel, and for ensuring the strength after tempering or PWHT. However, if added over 0.50 mass%, the weldability is lowered and the toughness after PWHT is significantly lowered. Therefore, the Cr content is set to a range of 0.50 mass% or less. Preferably it is the range of 0.01-0.30 mass%.

Mo:0.40mass%以下
Moは、焼入れ性を向上して鋼の強度を高めるとともに、靱性を確保するのに有用な元素である。また、Crと同様、焼戻しやPWHT後の強度確保に有用な元素である。しかし、0.40mass%を超えて添加すると、溶接性を低下させるとともに、原料コストの上昇を招く。よって、Moの含有量は0.40mass%以下の範囲とする。好ましくは0.01〜0.30mass%の範囲である。
Mo: 0.40 mass% or less Mo is an element useful for improving the hardenability and increasing the strength of the steel and ensuring toughness. Moreover, like Cr, it is an element useful for ensuring the strength after tempering or PWHT. However, if added over 0.40 mass%, the weldability is lowered and the raw material cost is increased. Therefore, the Mo content is set to a range of 0.40 mass% or less. Preferably it is the range of 0.01-0.30 mass%.

V:0.07mass%以下
Vは、鋼の焼入れ性を向上させる他、C,Nと炭窒化物を形成し、焼戻しやPWHT後の強度の確保に有用な元素である。しかし、0.07mass%を超えて添加すると、溶接性を低下させるとともに、炭窒化物析出による母材靱性の低下を招く。よって、Vの含有量は0.07mass%とする。好ましくは0.003〜0.06mass%の範囲である。
V: 0.07 mass% or less V is an element useful for improving the hardenability of steel, forming carbon and nitrides with C, N, and ensuring strength after tempering and PWHT.

B: 0.0003 to 0.0020 mass%

In order to obtain the effect of improving the hardenability, addition of 0.0003 mass% or more is required. On the other hand, even if added over 0.0020 mass%, the above effect is only saturated. Therefore, B is added in the range of 0.0003 to 0.0020 mass%. Preferably it is the range of 0.0005-0.0015 mass%.

また、本発明の厚鋼板は、上記の成分組成を満たすことに加えて、下記(1)式;
eq(mass%)=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Cu+Ni)/15 ・・・(1)
で定義されるC当量Ceq(mass%)が、0.36〜0.55mass%の範囲であることが必要である。
eqが、0.36mass%以下では、焼入時の焼入性を確保できない上に、焼戻し後に600MPa級の強度を得ることが困難となる。一方、0.55mass%を超えると、母材および溶接熱影響部の靭性低下を招くからである。好ましくは0.40〜0.53mass%の範囲である。
Moreover, in addition to satisfy | filling said component composition, the thick steel plate of this invention has the following (1) formula;
C eq (mass%) = C + Mn / 6 + (Cr + Mo + V) / 5 + (Cu + Ni) / 15 (1)
The C equivalent C eq (mass%) defined by the above is required to be in the range of 0.36 to 0.55 mass%.
When C eq is 0.36 mass% or less, hardenability at the time of quenching cannot be secured and it becomes difficult to obtain a strength of 600 MPa after tempering. On the other hand, if it exceeds 0.55 mass%, the toughness of the base metal and the weld heat affected zone will be reduced. Preferably it is the range of 0.40-0.53 mass%.

また、本発明の厚鋼板は、上記成分組成を満たすことに加えて、下記(2)式;
DI=8.2×(C)0.5×(0.7Si+1)×fMn×(0.35Cu+1)×(0.36Ni+1)×(2.16Cr+1)×(3.00Mo+1)×(1.75V+1)×fB ・・・(2)
ただし、fMn=3.33Mn+1 (Mn≦1.2mass%の場合)
fMn=(Mn−1.2)×5.1+5 (Mn>1.2mass%の場合)
fB=1.3 (B≧0.0003mass%の場合)
fB=1.0 (B<0.0003mass%の場合)
で定義されるDI値が65以上であることが必要である。
ここで、上記DI値は、C当量Ceqと同様、焼入性を表す指標であり、文献(例えば、熱処理Vol.27, No.3, p.136)に記載されているDI式を用いて、実験結果から係数をフィッティングして求めた。DI値が65未満では、焼入性を確保できないため、焼入後の引張強さが850MPa以上とならない上に、所望の下部ベイナイトおよびマルテンサイト組織とすることができないからである。
Moreover, in addition to satisfy | filling the said component composition, the thick steel plate of this invention has the following (2) formula;
DI * = 8.2 × (C) 0.5 × (0.7Si + 1) × fMn × (0.35Cu + 1) × (0.36Ni + 1) × (2.16Cr + 1) × (3.00Mo + 1) × (1.75V + 1) ) × fB (2)
However, fMn = 3.33Mn + 1 (when Mn ≦ 1.2 mass%)
fMn = (Mn−1.2) × 5.1 + 5 (in the case of Mn> 1.2 mass%)
fB = 1.3 (when B ≧ 0.0003 mass%)
fB = 1.0 (when B <0.0003 mass%)
It is necessary that the DI * value defined by is 65 or more.
Here, the above DI * value is an index representing hardenability like the C equivalent C eq, and the DI formula described in the literature (for example, heat treatment Vol. 27, No. 3, p. 136) is used. It was obtained by fitting the coefficient from the experimental result. If the DI * value is less than 65, the hardenability cannot be ensured, the tensile strength after quenching does not become 850 MPa or more, and the desired lower bainite and martensite structure cannot be obtained.

次に、本発明の厚鋼板の焼入れ−焼戻し後のミクロ組織について説明する。
本発明の厚鋼板の焼入れ−焼戻し後のミクロ組織は、焼戻し下部ベイナイトおよび焼戻しマルテンサイトであることが必要である。上記ミクロ組織とする理由は、低温靭性、特に、NRL落重特性を向上させるためには、脆性亀裂伝播における亀裂進展の抵抗となる有効結晶粒径(劈開破壊の破面単位)を微細化することが重要であるからである。なお、上記焼戻し下部ベイナイトおよび焼戻しマルテンサイト以外の他の組織は、本発明の作用効果を損なわない範囲、具体的には、10vol%以下であれば混在しても構わない。また、焼戻し後の本発明の厚鋼板では、島状マルテンサイトはセメンタイトに分解するため、基本的には存在してないが、0.5vol%以下であれば許容できる。
Next, the microstructure after quenching and tempering of the thick steel plate of the present invention will be described.
The microstructure after quenching and tempering of the thick steel plate of the present invention needs to be tempered lower bainite and tempered martensite. The reason for the microstructure is to refine the effective crystal grain size (fracture surface unit of cleavage fracture) that becomes resistance to crack propagation in brittle crack propagation in order to improve low-temperature toughness, especially NRL drop weight characteristics. Because it is important. In addition, the structure other than the tempered lower bainite and the tempered martensite may be mixed so long as the effect of the present invention is not impaired, specifically, 10 vol% or less. Moreover, in the thick steel plate of the present invention after tempering, island-like martensite is decomposed into cementite, and thus basically does not exist, but it is acceptable if it is 0.5 vol% or less.

また、本発明の厚鋼板の焼入れ−焼戻し後のミクロ組織は、電子後方散乱パターン(EBSP)で測定した15度以上の大角粒界で囲まれた結晶粒の円相当径の平均値が5μm以下であることが好ましい。ここで、上記15度以上の大角粒界とは、EBSPにより測定した方位差マッピンッグを基に、隣り合った結晶粒の粒界の方位差角を求め、その値が15度以上の粒界を意味する。EBSPで測定した15度以上の大角粒界で囲まれた結晶粒が小さいほど、結晶粒界への応力集中を低減することができるので、破壊に対する抵抗が高まり、低温靭性や落重特性が向上する。すなわち、上記15度以上の大角粒界で囲まれた結晶粒の平均粒径が5μmを超えると、粗大な粒を起点として破壊が生じ、靭性が低下するが、5μm以下にすることで、優れた落重特性(TNDT≦−65℃)が得られる。 Further, the microstructure after quenching and tempering of the thick steel plate of the present invention has an average equivalent circle diameter of 5 μm or less of crystal grains surrounded by large-angle grain boundaries of 15 degrees or more as measured by an electron backscattering pattern (EBSP). It is preferable that Here, the above-mentioned large-angle grain boundary of 15 degrees or more is based on the orientation mapping measured by EBSP, and the grain boundary angle between adjacent crystal grains is obtained, and the grain boundary whose value is 15 degrees or more is obtained. means. The smaller the crystal grain surrounded by a large-angle grain boundary of 15 degrees or more measured by EBSP, the more the stress concentration at the crystal grain boundary can be reduced, so the resistance to fracture increases and the low-temperature toughness and drop weight characteristics improve. To do. That is, when the average grain size of the crystal grains surrounded by the large-angle grain boundaries of 15 degrees or more exceeds 5 μm, breakage occurs starting from coarse grains and the toughness is reduced. The falling weight characteristic (T NDT ≦ −65 ° C.) is obtained.

さらに、旧オーステナイト粒径は、平均粒径を30μm以下とすることが必要である。旧オーステナイト粒径を30μmよりも小さくすることによって、下部ベイナイトおよびマルテンサイト組織のEBSPで測定した方位差角が15度以上の大角粒界で囲まれた結晶粒径を微細化することができ、落重特性が向上する。しかし、旧オーステナイト粒径が30μmを超えると、粗大なオーステナイト粒から変態した下部ベイナイトやマルテンサイトが粗大となり、それに伴って、有効結晶粒径も粗大となるので、落重特性が低下する。
ここで、上記粒界で囲まれた結晶粒の円相当径とは、上記粒界をトレースし、画像解析して求めた結晶粒の円相当径をいう。
また、旧オーステナイト粒径は、適切な腐食液を用いて、粒界を現出した組織を光学顕微鏡にて撮影した後、粒界をトレースし、画像解析して求めた円相当径をいう。
Furthermore, the prior austenite particle size needs to have an average particle size of 30 μm or less. By making the prior austenite grain size smaller than 30 μm, it is possible to refine the crystal grain size surrounded by large-angle grain boundaries with a misorientation angle measured by EBSP of the lower bainite and martensite structure of 15 degrees or more, Drop weight characteristics are improved. However, when the prior austenite grain size exceeds 30 μm, the lower bainite and martensite transformed from the coarse austenite grains become coarse, and the effective crystal grain size becomes coarse in association with it, so that the drop weight characteristic is lowered.
Here, the equivalent circle diameter of the crystal grain surrounded by the grain boundary means the equivalent circle diameter of the crystal grain obtained by tracing the grain boundary and analyzing the image.
The prior austenite grain size refers to a circle-equivalent diameter obtained by photographing a structure in which a grain boundary appears with an appropriate microscope using an optical microscope, tracing the grain boundary, and analyzing the image.

さらに、本発明の厚鋼板は、焼入れ−焼戻し後の鋼板の板厚1/2位置における集合組織の{111}<110>方位の集積度が1.8以上であることが好ましい。{111}<110>方位の集積度を1.8以上とすることで、劈開面{100}を圧延方向および圧延直角方向に対して斜めに配向させることができるので、圧延方向や圧延直角方向での亀裂伝播抵抗を高めることができるからである。
なお、上記{111}<110>方位の集積度は、板厚1/2位置で、板面に平行な面について試験片厚1mmの試験片を採取し、X線回折して、(110)、(200)、(211)正極点図を測定し、これらを用いて3次元結晶方位密度関数を計算し、Φ2=45°断面における集積度から求めた。また、上記集合組織の制御は、後述する制御圧延・制御冷却を行うことで達成することができる。
Furthermore, it is preferable that the thick steel plate of the present invention has a {111} <110> orientation accumulation degree of the texture at the position of half the thickness of the steel plate after quenching and tempering is 1.8 or more. By setting the degree of integration of {111} <110> orientation to 1.8 or more, the cleavage plane {100} can be oriented obliquely with respect to the rolling direction and the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction. This is because the crack propagation resistance can be increased.
The degree of integration in the {111} <110> orientation is as follows: a test piece having a thickness of 1 mm and a specimen having a thickness of 1 mm is taken from a plane parallel to the plate at a position of 1/2 the plate thickness, , (200), (211) Positive electrode dot diagrams were measured, and using these, a three-dimensional crystal orientation density function was calculated, and obtained from the degree of integration in the Φ2 = 45 ° cross section. Moreover, the control of the texture can be achieved by performing controlled rolling / controlled cooling described later.

次に、本発明の厚鋼板の製造方法について説明する。
本発明の厚鋼板は、成分組成を前述した範囲に調整した鋼を溶製し、連続鋳造し、または、造塊後、分塊圧延して鋼素材(スラブ)とした後、再加熱し、制御圧延・制御冷却して厚さが6〜100mmの厚鋼板とし、その後、焼入れ−焼戻し処理を施して製造する。
ここで、上記スラブの再加熱温度は、1000〜1200℃の範囲とする必要がある。1000℃未満ではオーステナイト化が不十分であり、一方、1200℃を超えるとオーステナイト粒が粗大となるからである。好ましくは1000〜1150℃の範囲である。
Next, the manufacturing method of the thick steel plate of this invention is demonstrated.
The steel plate of the present invention is a steel material (slab) that has been prepared by melting steel whose component composition has been adjusted to the above-mentioned range, continuously casting, or ingoting, and then rolling it into a steel material (slab), and then reheating, Control rolling and control cooling are performed to obtain a thick steel plate having a thickness of 6 to 100 mm, and then subjected to quenching-tempering treatment.
Here, the reheating temperature of the slab needs to be in the range of 1000 to 1200 ° C. When the temperature is lower than 1000 ° C., austenite formation is insufficient. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 1200 ° C., the austenite grains become coarse. Preferably it is the range of 1000-1150 degreeC.

続く熱間圧延は、再結晶温度域で20〜60%の累積圧下率で圧延し、引き続き、Ar変態点以上の未再結晶温度域で30〜60%の累積圧下率で制御圧延した後、直ちに5℃/s以上の冷却速度で冷却する制御圧延・制御冷却を施すことが必要である。
上記制御圧延により、特にオーステナイト未再結晶温度域での制御圧延によって{111}<110>方位の集積度が1.8以上となり、劈開面{100}を圧延方向および圧延直角方向に対して斜めに配向させることができるので、亀裂伝播抵抗を高めることができる。
In the subsequent hot rolling, after rolling with a cumulative reduction of 20 to 60% in the recrystallization temperature range, and subsequently controlled rolling with a cumulative reduction of 30 to 60% in the non-recrystallization temperature range above the Ar 3 transformation point. It is necessary to perform controlled rolling / controlled cooling that immediately cools at a cooling rate of 5 ° C./s or more.
By the controlled rolling described above, the degree of accumulation of the {111} <110> orientation becomes 1.8 or more by the controlled rolling particularly in the austenite non-recrystallization temperature range, and the cleavage plane {100} is inclined with respect to the rolling direction and the perpendicular direction of the rolling. Therefore, the crack propagation resistance can be increased.

また、制御冷却時の冷却速度を5℃/s以上とすることで、圧延冷却後の組織をベイナイトおよびマルテンサイト組織からなるものとすることができる。オーステナイト未再結晶温度域での圧延後に、ベイナイト変態およびマルテンサイト変態させることで、変態時にバリアント選択が生じ、{111}<110>方位の集積度を向上させることができる。しかし、冷却速度が5℃/s未満では、冷却時の相変態が拡散型のフェライト変態が主体となるため、{111}<110>方位の集積度を向上させることが難しくなる。   Moreover, the structure after rolling cooling can consist of a bainite and a martensitic structure by making the cooling rate at the time of control cooling into 5 degrees C / s or more. By performing bainite transformation and martensite transformation after rolling in the austenite non-recrystallization temperature range, variant selection occurs during transformation, and the degree of accumulation of {111} <110> orientation can be improved. However, when the cooling rate is less than 5 ° C./s, it is difficult to improve the degree of integration of the {111} <110> orientation because the phase transformation during cooling is mainly diffusion type ferrite transformation.

なお、上記Ar変態点の温度は、実測して求めてもよいが、次式で計算した値を用いることができる。
Ar(℃)=910-273C−74Mn−56Ni−16Cr−9Mo−5Cu
(ただし、上記式中の各元素記号は、それぞれの元素の含有量(mass%))
The temperature at the Ar 3 transformation point may be obtained by actual measurement, but a value calculated by the following equation can be used.
Ar 3 (° C.) = 910-273C-74Mn-56Ni-16Cr-9Mo-5Cu
(However, each element symbol in the above formula is the content of each element (mass%))

上記の制御圧延・制御冷却して得た厚鋼板は、Ac変態点〜(Ac変態点+70℃)の温度域に再加熱した後、焼入れする焼入処理を1回以上施すことが必要である。
上記熱間圧延して得た厚鋼板は、その後、Ac変態点〜(Ac変態点+70℃)の温度域に再加熱後、焼入れする焼入処理を1回以上行うことが必要である。
焼入れ温度が、Ac変態点未満では、再加熱時に(オーステナイト+フェライト)の2相域になる上、オーステナイト粒径が小さくなって焼入れが不十分となるため、所定の強度を確保できない。一方、(Ac変態点+70℃)を超えて加熱した場合には、オーステナイト粒径が粗大化し、母材の靭性低下が著しく、落重特性も低下するからである。
The steel plate obtained by the above controlled rolling / cooling needs to be re-heated to a temperature range of Ac 3 transformation point to (Ac 3 transformation point + 70 ° C.) and then subjected to quenching treatment for quenching at least once. It is.
The thick steel plate obtained by the above hot rolling needs to be subjected to quenching once or more after reheating to a temperature range of Ac 3 transformation point to (Ac 3 transformation point + 70 ° C.). .
When the quenching temperature is less than the Ac 3 transformation point, a two-phase region of (austenite + ferrite) is obtained during reheating, and the austenite grain size becomes small and quenching becomes insufficient, so that a predetermined strength cannot be ensured. On the other hand, when heating is performed exceeding (Ac 3 transformation point + 70 ° C.), the austenite grain size becomes coarse, the toughness of the base material is remarkably lowered, and the drop weight characteristic is also lowered.

なお、上記Ac変態点、Ac変態点の温度は、実測して求めてもよいが、次式で計算した値を用いることができる。
Ac(℃)=751−27×C+18×Si−12×Mn−169×Al
−23×Cu−23×Ni+24×Cr+23×Mo−40×V
+233×Nb−6×Ti−895×B

−16×Cu−27×Ni−5×Cr+38×Mo+125×V−19×Nb
+136×Ti+3315×B
(ただし、上記式中の各元素記号は、それぞれの元素の含有量(mass%))
Incidentally, the Ac 1 transformation point, the temperature of the Ac 3 transformation point can be determined by actually measuring it, it is possible to use a value determined by the following equation.
Ac 1 (° C.) = 751-27 × C + 18 × Si-12 × Mn-169 × Al
−23 × Cu-23 × Ni + 24 × Cr + 23 × Mo-40 × V
+ 233 × Nb-6 × Ti-895 × B
Ac 3 (° C.) = 937-477 × C + 56 × Si-20 × Mn + 198 × Al
-16 * Cu-27 * Ni-5 * Cr + 38 * Mo + 125 * V-19 * Nb
+ 136 × Ti + 3315 × B
(However, each element symbol in the above formula is the content of each element (mass%))

また、上記温度に再加熱した後の焼入れは、5℃/s以上の冷却速度で水冷するのが好ましい。冷却速度が5℃/s未満では、焼入性が確保できず、所望の下部ベイナイトおよびマルテンサイト組織とすることができず、落重特性が低下するからである。
さらに、焼入れ処理の回数については、通常は1回で十分であるが、2回以上行い、オーステナイトへの変態とフェライトへの変態を繰り返すことで、焼入れ時のオーステナイト粒径が細粒化、整粒化するので、母材靭性を向上させる効果を得ることができるので好ましい。
The quenching after reheating to the above temperature is preferably water-cooled at a cooling rate of 5 ° C./s or more. If the cooling rate is less than 5 ° C./s, the hardenability cannot be secured, the desired lower bainite and martensite structure cannot be obtained, and the drop weight characteristic is lowered.
Furthermore, the number of times of quenching is usually sufficient, but it is performed twice or more, and by repeating the transformation to austenite and transformation to ferrite, the austenite grain size at the time of quenching is refined and adjusted. Since it granulates, since the effect which improves a base material toughness can be acquired, it is preferable.

上記焼入処理を施した厚鋼板は、その後、PWHTを実施する場合の強度低下を極力抑えることを考慮し、比較的高温の550〜700℃の温度で焼戻処理を施すことが必要である。焼戻し温度が550℃未満では、550℃以上温度でPWHTを行う場合の強度低下が大きく、所望の強度(TS:570MPa以上、720MPa以下)を安定して確保することができない。一方、700℃超えでは、焼戻し後に、上記所望の強度を確保することが難しくなるからである。なお、焼戻処理後の冷却は、空冷でも構わない。   The steel plate subjected to the above quenching treatment needs to be subjected to a tempering treatment at a relatively high temperature of 550 to 700 ° C. in consideration of minimizing the strength reduction when PWHT is performed thereafter. . When the tempering temperature is less than 550 ° C., the strength is greatly reduced when PWHT is performed at a temperature of 550 ° C. or higher, and a desired strength (TS: 570 MPa or higher, 720 MPa or lower) cannot be secured stably. On the other hand, when the temperature exceeds 700 ° C., it is difficult to ensure the desired strength after tempering. The cooling after the tempering process may be air cooling.

ここで、本発明において重要なことは、焼入れままの鋼板の板厚1/2位置での引張強さを850MPa以上、1100MPa以下に制御することである。上述した成分組成を有する板厚100mm以下の鋼板において、焼入後の板厚1/2位置の組織を下部ベイナイトおよびマルテンサイト組織とし、有効結晶粒径の微細化を通じて、落重特性を向上させるためには、焼入後の引張強度を850MPa以上1100MPa以下に制御することが必要である。850MPa未満では、焼入性が不十分で、上部ベイナイトやフェライトなどの組織が混在することになり、母材靭性、特に、落重特性が大きく低下する。一方、1100MPaを超えると落重特性が劣化するからである。焼入れままの引張強さは、より好ましくは900〜1050MPaの範囲である。   Here, what is important in the present invention is to control the tensile strength of the as-quenched steel sheet at the position of half the plate thickness to 850 MPa or more and 1100 MPa or less. In a steel sheet having a thickness of 100 mm or less having the above-described component composition, the structure at the half thickness position after quenching is made to be a lower bainite and martensite structure, and the drop weight characteristics are improved through refinement of the effective crystal grain size. Therefore, it is necessary to control the tensile strength after quenching to 850 MPa or more and 1100 MPa or less. If it is less than 850 MPa, hardenability is inadequate and structures, such as an upper bainite and a ferrite, will be mixed, and base material toughness, especially a drop weight characteristic will fall large. On the other hand, when the pressure exceeds 1100 MPa, the drop weight characteristic deteriorates. The tensile strength as quenched is more preferably in the range of 900 to 1050 MPa.

なお、本発明は、板厚100mm以下の厚鋼板を適用の対象としているが、特に船舶や、海洋構造物、水圧鉄管等に用いられる厚鋼板の主要板厚である30〜80mm、中でも板厚が40〜70mmの厚鋼板において、優れた効果が得られる。   In addition, although this invention makes the object of application the thick steel plate of 100 mm or less in thickness, it is 30-80 mm which is the main plate thickness of the thick steel plate especially used for a ship, a marine structure, a hydraulic iron pipe, etc. In a thick steel plate having a thickness of 40 to 70 mm, an excellent effect is obtained.

表1に示した各種成分組成を有するNo.1〜32の鋼を溶製し、連続鋳造して厚さが310mmまたは210mmの鋼素材(スラブ)とした後、表2に示す種々の条件で制御圧延・制御冷却した後、表2に示した板厚の厚鋼板(No.1〜37)とした。
