Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、非調質高強度継目無鋼管の製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
山や谷、道路脇等の傾斜地の崩れを防止するために、土留め用の杭(以下、土留杭という)が用いられることがある。土留杭の先端に用いられる鋼管には、一般に、鋼種をSAE1541−SHとした非調質(熱処理を施されていない)継目無鋼管が採用されていた。しかし、最近、杭サイズの多様化要求から、従来より細径の鋼管が用いられ、それに伴ない、該細径鋼管の強度を高めることが必要になった。そこで、素材の鋼種を従来より高強度を呈する高強度非調質鋼に変更し、従来と同じ製造工程で継目無鋼管を製造した。その工程は、以下の通りである。
【0003】
まず、図4に示すように、素材である高強度非調質鋼の丸鋼片(ビレット1)を、加熱炉2で1200〜1300℃に加熱した後、ピアサ3なる穿孔圧延機に通し、該ビレット1の中心部に砲弾状の外観を示すプラグ4を押し当て貫入せしめて穿孔し、中空素管5を形成する。引き続き、該素管5の孔にマンドレル・バー6を挿入して圧延するマンドレル・ミル7なる圧延機を通過させて圧延する。この際、素管5の温度は、700℃に降下するので、再加熱炉8で該素管5の温度を900℃に高めてから、ストレッチ・レデューサ9なる多段圧延機で外径を整え、冷却床(図示せず)で常温まで冷却して製品の鋼管10とする。
【0004】
ところが、素材1に従来材より高強度の高強度非調質鋼を採用すると、冷却床で製品となるべき鋼管が長手方向で反り、図5に示すように曲がってしまうという問題が発生した。製品としては、最大曲がりを鋼管1mあたり1mm以下に抑えなければならないが、製品サイズによっては1mあたり2〜7mmも曲がってしまう。また、この曲がりを矯正しようとすると、製品に割れが生じる。これでは、製品歩留が低くて、生産性が落ち、経済的に生産が成り立たない。
【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
本発明は、かかる事情に鑑み、高強度を呈する素材を用いても、曲がりを発生せずに、高い製品歩留で鋼管を安定して確保可能な非調質高強度継目無鋼管の製造方法を提供することを目的としている。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
発明者は、上記目的を達成するため鋭意研究し、その成果を本発明に具現化した。
【0007】
すなわち、本発明は、1200℃以上に加熱された高強度の鋼鋳片を、ピアサ、マンドレル・ミル、再加熱炉及びストレッチ・レデューサを順次通過させて管体に圧延する非調質高強度継目無鋼管の製造方法において、前記再加熱炉に装入する前の素管の温度をAr3〜Ar1の範囲まで冷却し、その後再加熱炉でAr3以上の温度に加熱し、引き続き、ストレッチ・レデューサで圧延することを特徴とする非調質高強度継目無鋼管の製造方法である。
【0008】
本発明によれば、ストレッチ・レデューサ9を通過し、冷却された鋼管の金属組織がベーナイト相及びフェライト相とパーライト相との混合相で、しかもフェライト相の比率が従来より多いものとなる。つまり、一度Ar3以下の二相域まで冷却させることで、フェライトを析出させ、結晶粒の数を増加させる。従って、その後の再加熱した時に、オーステナイトの結晶粒が微細なため、レヂューサ圧延後の冷却でフェライトへの結晶サイトが増加する。その結果、製品鋼管の強度が過剰にならず、伸びが良くなり、曲がりの発生が著しく低減するのである。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、発明をなすに至った経緯をまじえ、本発明の実施の形態を説明する。
【0010】
まず、高強度非調質鋼からなる鋼鋳片(ビレット1)を、従来の製造方法を用いて圧延し、非調質高強度継目無鋼管を製造したところ、前記したように、製品の鋼管10に曲がりが生じた。そこで、発明者は、曲がりの発生原因を鋭意検討し、圧延中に素材の円周方向で温度が不均一であると、冷却時に部分的な塑性変形が生じるためと推定した。特に、ベーナイト変態の開始温度、つまり500℃付近で、周方向に温度差が生じると、熱収縮差によって発生する応力が大きくなり、曲がりの程度が大きくなる。なお、(管断面積/管外周長)で定義する寸法係数が小さい鋼管は、冷却速度が大きく、製品強度が非常に高くなり、一方、寸法係数の大きい鋼管は、冷却速度が小さいので、前者より強度が低くなることもわかった。また、曲がりを矯正する際の割れについても検討し、かかる鋼種で製造した鋼管は、強度が大き過ぎて、靭性が小さい。
【0011】
次に、発明者は、これらの知見に基づき対策を検討し、
a)ベイナイト変態開始までに周方向の偏熱を低減すること、
b)ストレッチ・レデューサで圧延した後の強度を低くすること、
を着想した。
【0012】
しかし、a)の偏熱の低減については、設備的に実施が難しく、もし実施してもb)の方が効果が大きいと予想できる。そこで、発明者は、このb)の着想を具現化し、前記製造過程において、再加熱炉8へ素管を装入する時の温度を、Ar3〜Ar1の範囲内に調整し、再加熱温度をAr3以上の温度とし、レデューサ9で圧延するようにした。
【0013】
その結果、製造途中で被圧延剤の金属組織が調整され、最終的に得られる鋼管の金属組織がフェライト相に富むものとなる。なお、本発明では、装入温度が、上記温度より高すぎると発明の効果が不十分となり、低すぎると生産性が低下する、また、再加熱温度は、上記温度より低すぎるとレデューサでの圧延が困難になる。
【0014】
【実施例】
高強度非調質鋼からなるビレットを素材1にして、本発明に係る製造方法で外径54.00mm,厚み16.50mm,長さ6375m(寸法係数;1.82)の継目無鋼管を製造した。この素材は、Ar3が720℃で、Ar1が400℃の高強度非調質鋼であり、引張り強度(Ts=900N/mmクラス)である。製造工程は、図4に示したものと同じである。また、同一素材を用い、従来の製造方法で多種の寸法係数を有する継目無鋼管も製造した。
【0015】
主な製造条件は、再加熱炉への素材の装入温度が450〜500℃、再加熱炉の雰囲気温度が920℃、素材の再加熱炉での在炉時間が8分である。なお、従来の方法を実施する場合には、再加熱炉への素材の装入温度を700〜750℃とした。
【0016】
本発明に係る方法で製造中の素管あるいは鋼管の温度及び金属組識が変化する様子を、従来の製造方法による場合と比較して、図1及び図2に示す。図1の温本発明に係る温度パターンを採用することで、最終製品の金属組識がフェライト相に富むことが容易に理解できる。なお、図1において、RHFは加熱炉,PCMはピアサ圧延機,MDMはマンエスマン圧延機,WBFは再加熱炉,HSRはホット・ストレッチ・レデューサ等に、被圧延材が存在している時期を示している。
【0017】
これらの方法で製造された鋼管の強度及び伸びを、冷却後に測定した結果を図3(a)及び(b)に示す。図3(a)及び(b)より、本発明によれば、最終製品の△で示す強度(降伏点Ys,引っ張りTs)は、〇で示す従来法によるものより低下し、△で示す伸びが従来の〇より増加したことが明らかである。つまり、金属組識が鋼材を柔らかくするフェライト相に富み、従来方法による強度のオバー・スペックが解消されている。
【0018】
また、製品の曲がりを測定したところ、本発明に係る製造方法で測定したものは、最大曲がりが全長6375mmに対して平均で2〜3mmになっており、製品として許容される範囲を満足していた。なお、従来の製造方法によるものは、平均で13mmであった。
【0019】
さらに、本発明に係る製造方法で得た鋼管のうちで、最大曲がりが3mmを超えるものを、冷間で直線形状に矯正した。しかし、この矯正によって、割れを発生したものは皆無であった。
【0020】
【発明の効果】
以上述べたように、本発明により、高強度を呈する素材を用いても、曲がりや矯正時割れを発生させずに、高い製品歩留で細径の非調質高強度継目無鋼管を安定して製造できるようになった。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for producing a non-tempered high strength seamless steel pipe.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In order to prevent the collapse of slopes such as mountains, valleys, and roadsides, earth retaining piles (hereinafter referred to as earth retaining piles) are sometimes used. In general, a non-heat treated (not heat-treated) seamless steel pipe having a steel type of SAE1541-SH has been adopted as a steel pipe used at the tip of the earth retaining pile. Recently, however, steel pipes with a smaller diameter have been used because of the diversification of pile sizes, and it has become necessary to increase the strength of the narrow steel pipe. Therefore, the steel grade of the material was changed to a high strength non-tempered steel exhibiting higher strength than before, and seamless steel pipes were manufactured in the same manufacturing process as before. The process is as follows.
[0003]
First, as shown in FIG. 4, a high-strength non-heat treated round steel piece (billet 1) as a raw material is heated to 1200 to 1300 ° C. in a heating furnace 2 and then passed through a piercing and rolling machine that is a piercer 3. A hollow shell 5 is formed by pressing and plugging a plug 4 having a bullet-like appearance into the center of the billet 1 to penetrate. Subsequently, the mandrel bar 6 is inserted into the hole of the raw tube 5 and rolled through a mandrel mill 7 for rolling . At this time, since the temperature of the raw tube 5 drops to 700 ° C., the temperature of the raw tube 5 is increased to 900 ° C. in the reheating furnace 8, and then the outer diameter is adjusted with a multi-stage rolling mill consisting of the stretch reducer 9. It cools to normal temperature with a cooling floor (not shown), and makes it the steel pipe 10 of a product.
[0004]
However, when a high-strength non-heat treated steel having a higher strength than that of the conventional material is adopted as the material 1, a problem arises in that the steel pipe to be a product in the cooling bed warps in the longitudinal direction and bends as shown in FIG. As a product, the maximum bend must be suppressed to 1 mm or less per 1 m of the steel pipe, but depending on the product size, it is bent as much as 2 to 7 mm per 1 m. In addition, if the bending is corrected, the product is cracked. In this case, the product yield is low, the productivity is lowered, and the production cannot be realized economically.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of such circumstances, the present invention provides a method for producing a non-tempered high-strength seamless steel pipe that can stably secure a steel pipe at a high product yield without causing bending even when a material exhibiting high strength is used. The purpose is to provide.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The inventor diligently studied to achieve the above object, and the results were embodied in the present invention.
[0007]
That is, the present invention is a non-tempered high-strength seam in which a high-strength steel slab heated to 1200 ° C. or higher is sequentially passed through a piercer, a mandrel mill, a reheating furnace, and a stretch reducer and rolled into a tubular body. In the steelless pipe manufacturing method, the temperature of the raw pipe before being charged into the reheating furnace is cooled to a range of Ar3 to Ar1, and then heated to a temperature of Ar3 or higher in the reheating furnace, and subsequently with a stretch reducer. It is a manufacturing method of a non-tempered high strength seamless steel pipe characterized by rolling.
[0008]
According to the present invention, the metal structure of the steel pipe that has passed through the stretch reducer 9 and has been cooled is a mixed phase of a bainite phase, a ferrite phase, and a pearlite phase, and the ratio of the ferrite phase is higher than in the prior art. That is, by once cooling to a two-phase region of Ar 3 or less, ferrite is precipitated and the number of crystal grains is increased. Therefore, since the austenite crystal grains are fine when reheated thereafter, the crystal sites to ferrite increase by cooling after reducer rolling. As a result, the strength of the product steel pipe does not become excessive, the elongation is improved, and the occurrence of bending is remarkably reduced.
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below based on the circumstances leading to the invention.
[0010]
First, a steel slab (billet 1) made of high-strength non-tempered steel was rolled using a conventional manufacturing method to produce a non-tempered high-strength seamless steel pipe. 10 was bent. Therefore, the inventor diligently studied the cause of the occurrence of bending, and estimated that if the temperature is not uniform in the circumferential direction of the material during rolling, partial plastic deformation occurs during cooling. In particular, when a temperature difference occurs in the circumferential direction at the start temperature of the bainite transformation, that is, around 500 ° C., the stress generated by the heat shrinkage difference increases and the degree of bending increases. Note that the steel pipe with a small dimensional coefficient defined by (tube cross-sectional area / tube outer circumference length) has a high cooling rate and a very high product strength, while a steel pipe with a large dimensional coefficient has a low cooling rate. It was also found that the strength was lower. Moreover, the crack at the time of correcting a bending is also examined, and the steel pipe manufactured with such a steel type is too strong and has low toughness.
[0011]
Next, the inventor examines measures based on these findings,
a) reducing the circumferential heat deviation before the start of bainite transformation,
b) Reducing the strength after rolling with a stretch reducer,
Inspired.
[0012]
However, it is difficult to implement a reduction in heat deviation in a) in terms of equipment, and even if implemented, it can be expected that b) is more effective. Therefore, the inventor embodies the idea of b), and adjusts the temperature at which the raw tube is charged into the reheating furnace 8 in the manufacturing process within the range of Ar3 to Ar1, and sets the reheating temperature. The temperature was set to Ar3 or higher , and rolling was performed by the reducer 9.
[0013]
As a result, the metal structure of the rolling agent is adjusted during the production, and the metal structure of the steel pipe finally obtained is rich in the ferrite phase. In the present invention, charging temperature, the effect of the invention is too high than the above temperature is insufficient, too low and productivity is lowered, also the reheating temperature is reducer When the temperature by Ri too low Rolling becomes difficult.
[0014]
【Example】
Using a billet made of high-strength non-tempered steel as a raw material 1, a seamless steel pipe having an outer diameter of 54.00 mm, a thickness of 16.50 mm, and a length of 6375 m (size factor: 1.82) is manufactured by the manufacturing method according to the present invention. did. This material is a high strength non-tempered steel with Ar3 of 720 ° C. and Ar1 of 400 ° C., and has a tensile strength (Ts = 900 N / mm class). The manufacturing process is the same as that shown in FIG. In addition, seamless steel pipes using the same material and having various dimensional factors were manufactured by a conventional manufacturing method.
[0015]
The main production conditions are that the charging temperature of the material into the reheating furnace is 450 to 500 ° C., the atmospheric temperature of the reheating furnace is 920 ° C., and the in-furnace time in the reheating furnace of the material is 8 minutes. In addition, when implementing the conventional method, the charging temperature of the raw material to a reheating furnace was 700-750 degreeC.
[0016]
FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show how the temperature of the raw pipe or steel pipe and the metal structure being changed by the method according to the present invention change compared to the case of the conventional manufacturing method. By adopting the temperature pattern according to the present invention of FIG. 1, it can be easily understood that the metal composition of the final product is rich in ferrite phase. In FIG. 1, RHF is a heating furnace, PCM is a piercer mill, MDM is a Manssmann mill, WBF is a reheating furnace, HSR is a hot stretch reducer, etc. ing.
[0017]
The result of having measured the intensity | strength and elongation of the steel pipe manufactured by these methods after cooling is shown to Fig.3 (a) and (b). 3A and 3B, according to the present invention, the strength (yield point Ys, tensile Ts) indicated by Δ of the final product is lower than that by the conventional method indicated by ◯, and the elongation indicated by Δ is It is clear that there was an increase from the conventional O. In other words, the metal structure is rich in ferrite phase that softens the steel material, and the strength over spec by the conventional method is eliminated.
[0018]
Moreover, when the bending of the product was measured, the maximum bending of the product measured by the manufacturing method according to the present invention was 2 to 3 mm on the average with respect to the total length of 6375 mm, which satisfied the allowable range for the product. It was. In addition, the thing by the conventional manufacturing method was 13 mm on average.
[0019]
Furthermore, among the steel pipes obtained by the production method according to the present invention, those having a maximum bending exceeding 3 mm were straightened in a cold shape. However, none of the cracks caused by this correction.
[0020]
【The invention's effect】
As described above, according to the present invention, even if a material exhibiting high strength is used, it is possible to stabilize a small-diameter non-heat treated high-strength seamless steel pipe with high product yield without causing bending or cracking during correction. Can now be manufactured.
