Description

本発明は、造船、建築、橋梁等の溶接構造物用として好適な厚鋼板に関し、特に大入熱溶接であっても優れたHAZ靭性を実現する鋼材に関する。   The present invention relates to a thick steel plate suitable for use in welded structures such as shipbuilding, construction, and bridges, and more particularly to a steel material that realizes excellent HAZ toughness even in high heat input welding.

近年、橋梁、高層建造物、および大型船舶等、鋼材を用いた構造物は大型化する傾向にあり、この大型構造物を実現するためには、鋼材の高強度化・厚肉化が望まれている。これと共に、大型構造物の施工効率の向上と施工コストの低減を目的として、高強度・厚肉の鋼材を溶接する際の溶接効率の向上が求められている。
ところで、鋼材の溶接効率を向上させるには、同一箇所に対する溶接回数を減らすことが有効であり、小さな熱量(溶接熱)で鋼材に対して溶接を複数回繰り返すよりも、鋼材に対して大きな熱量(溶接熱)を加える大入熱の溶接を行って1回で溶接を完了させる大入熱で高能率の溶接が指向される。
In recent years, structures using steel materials, such as bridges, high-rise buildings, and large ships, have tended to increase in size. To realize such large structures, it is desirable to increase the strength and thickness of steel materials. ing. At the same time, for the purpose of improving the construction efficiency of large structures and reducing the construction cost, there is a demand for improvement in welding efficiency when welding high-strength and thick steel materials.
By the way, in order to improve the welding efficiency of steel materials, it is effective to reduce the number of times of welding to the same location, and a large amount of heat is applied to the steel material rather than repeating the welding to the steel material several times with a small amount of heat (welding heat). High-efficiency welding with high heat input that completes welding at a time by performing welding with high heat input to add (welding heat) is directed.

しかし、一般的に、熱量の大小を問わず溶接熱に晒される溶接熱影響部(以下、HAZともいう)は、溶接時に高温となって鋼材の結晶粒が粗大化しやすい。加えて、鋼材への入熱量が増大するに従って溶接熱影響部が高温となり冷却時間が長くなる。高温かつ長い冷却時間は、溶接熱影響部における脆弱な上部ベイナイト組織の形成や、島状マルテンサイト等の脆化組織の形成を促進する条件となるため、鋼材のHAZ靭性を低下させる原因となることはすでに知られている。   However, in general, a weld heat affected zone (hereinafter also referred to as HAZ) that is exposed to welding heat regardless of the amount of heat becomes high temperature during welding, and the crystal grains of the steel material tend to be coarse. In addition, as the amount of heat input to the steel material increases, the weld heat affected zone becomes higher in temperature and the cooling time becomes longer. A high temperature and a long cooling time are conditions that promote the formation of a brittle upper bainite structure in the heat affected zone and the formation of an embrittled structure such as island martensite, and thus reduce the HAZ toughness of the steel material. That is already known.

上述のような溶接熱に起因するHAZ靭性の低下に対処するために、特許文献1〜5に開示される技術が提案されている。
特許文献1は、溶接熱影響部靭性(HAZ靭性)に優れた鋼材および製造方法を提供することを目的としたものである。具体的に、特許文献1に開示の製造方法は、溶鋼中で強い硫化物生成能を持つCaに加えてMgおよび/またはREMを添加し、微細酸化物を生成させることで微細硫化物を分散させて1400℃以上に加熱されたHAZ組織を細粒化し、200kJ/cm以上の大入熱溶接でも良好なHAZ靭性を実現するとされている。
In order to cope with the decrease in the HAZ toughness caused by the welding heat as described above, techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 5 have been proposed.
Patent document 1 aims at providing the steel material excellent in the welding heat affected zone toughness (HAZ toughness), and a manufacturing method. Specifically, the manufacturing method disclosed in Patent Document 1 disperses fine sulfides by adding Mg and / or REM in addition to Ca having strong sulfide-forming ability in molten steel to produce fine oxides. The HAZ structure heated to 1400 ° C. or higher is refined and good HAZ toughness is achieved even with high heat input welding of 200 kJ / cm or higher.

特許文献2は、母材靭性と溶接部HAZ靭性に優れた高強度溶接構造用鋼およびその製造方法を提供することを目的としたものである。具体的に、特許文献2に開示の製造方法は、Ti添加後にMg、Ca、REMの1種又は2種以上を添加するか、あるいはTi添加とMg、Ca、REMの1種又は2種以上とを同時に添加して酸化物や硫化物を微細分散させることで母材の加熱γ粒径を微細化し、さらに溶接入熱に関わらずHAZの加熱γ粒径も微細化することを意図している。特許文献2は、この二つの微細化による効果として、良好な母材靭性と溶接部HAZ靱性を有する高強度溶接構造用鋼を製造可能であるとされている。   Patent Document 2 aims to provide a high-strength welded structural steel excellent in base metal toughness and welded portion HAZ toughness and a method for producing the same. Specifically, the manufacturing method disclosed in Patent Document 2 includes adding one or more of Mg, Ca, and REM after adding Ti, or adding one or more of Ti, Mg, Ca, and REM. Is intended to refine the heated γ grain size of the base material by finely dispersing oxides and sulfides at the same time, and to further refine the heated γ grain size of HAZ regardless of welding heat input. Yes. In Patent Document 2, as an effect of these two miniaturizations, high strength welded structural steel having good base metal toughness and welded portion HAZ toughness can be manufactured.

特許文献3は、超大入熱溶接の溶接熱影響部靭性に優れた厚鋼板およびその製造方法を提供することを目的としたものである。具体的に、特許文献3の製造方法は、溶鋼中での酸化物、硫化物等の粒子組成の調整に加えて、さらに凝固過程で形成されるデンドライトの形態制御を行う。これにより特許文献3は、鋼板中における分散粒子を、従来に比べて均一かつ微細に分散させて、入熱量が300kJ/cm以上となる超大入熱溶接時のHAZにおいても、オーステナイト粒を微細化しHAZ靭性を顕向上させることができるとされている。   Patent document 3 aims at providing the thick steel plate excellent in the welding heat affected zone toughness of super-high heat input welding, and its manufacturing method. Specifically, the production method of Patent Document 3 controls the form of dendrites formed in the solidification process in addition to adjusting the particle composition of oxides, sulfides, etc. in the molten steel. As a result, Patent Document 3 disperses dispersed particles in a steel sheet more uniformly and finely than in the past, and refines austenite grains even in HAZ during super-high heat input welding where the heat input is 300 kJ / cm or more. It is said that the HAZ toughness can be significantly improved.

特許文献4は、良好なHAZ靭性を有するAPI規格X100以上の高強度鋼板を提供することを目的としたものである。具体的に、特許文献4の高強度鋼板は、Ti,Mg,REM,Al,S,N量を限定することにより、(1)0.1μm以下のMg系酸化物を含んだTiN系微細析出物を含有させて、溶融線近傍においてもγ粒の粗大化を抑制する。さらに、この高強度鋼板は、(2)0.1μm以上のTi、Mg、REMを主体とする酸化物とMnSとの複合体を含有させて比較的小さなγ粒内からIGFを生成させることで、HAZ全域にわたって組織を微細化しHAZ靱性を向上させることができるとされている。   Patent Document 4 aims to provide a high-strength steel sheet of API standard X100 or higher having good HAZ toughness. Specifically, the high-strength steel sheet of Patent Document 4 is limited to the amount of Ti, Mg, REM, Al, S, and N, (1) TiN-based fine precipitation containing Mg-based oxides of 0.1 μm or less. The inclusion of the material suppresses the coarsening of γ grains even in the vicinity of the melting line. Furthermore, this high-strength steel sheet (2) contains a complex of an oxide mainly composed of Ti, Mg, and REM of 0.1 μm or more and MnS to generate IGF from a relatively small γ grain. It is said that the HAZ toughness can be improved by refining the structure throughout the entire HAZ.

特許文献5は、良好な母材靱性および溶接熱影響部靱性を兼ね備えた非調質高張力鋼材を提案することを目的としたものである。具体的に、特許文献5の非調質高張力鋼材は、最適な酸化物系介在物の最適組成範囲として、Ti酸化物:20〜90重量%、CaOおよびREM酸化物の合計:5〜50重量%、Al:70重量%以下に制御する。これによって、非調質高張力鋼材は、ノズル詰まりや有害な介在物クラスターの生成を引き起こすことなく介在物の結晶粒粗大化抑制能(ピン止め効果)を有効に利用できるので、溶接熱影響部靭性を向上させることができ、さらに、TiN、あるいはさらにVNを最適分散させることにより母材の靭性と強度を向上させることができるとされている。 Patent Document 5 aims to propose a non-tempered high-tensile steel material having both good base material toughness and weld heat-affected zone toughness. Specifically, the non-tempered high-tensile steel material of Patent Document 5 has an optimal composition range of the oxide-based inclusions as follows: Ti oxide: 20 to 90 wt%, CaO and REM oxide total: 5 to 50 Weight%, Al 2 O 3 : Controlled to 70% by weight or less. As a result, non-tempered high-tensile steel can effectively utilize the grain coarsening suppression ability (pinning effect) of inclusions without causing nozzle clogging or generation of harmful inclusion clusters. It is said that the toughness can be improved, and further, the toughness and strength of the base material can be improved by optimally dispersing TiN or VN.

上述のように、特許文献1〜5のそれぞれは、溶接熱に起因するHAZ靭性の低下に対処することができると開示しているが、いずれの技術によっても、更なる大入熱溶接時においてHAZ靭性を向上させることは困難である。
特許文献1〜3に開示の技術は、酸硫化物のピンニング効果によってHAZ組織の微細化を図るものであるが、酸化物起因の粒内変態による組織微細化効果については言及しておらず、更なる大入熱化に対応できる技術であるとはいえない。
As described above, each of Patent Documents 1 to 5 discloses that it is possible to cope with a decrease in the HAZ toughness caused by welding heat. It is difficult to improve the HAZ toughness.
The techniques disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 3 are intended to refine the HAZ structure by the pinning effect of oxysulfides, but do not mention the structure refinement effect due to intragranular transformation caused by oxides. It cannot be said that it is a technology that can cope with further increase in heat input.

また、特許文献4では、酸化物を起点とした組織変態に言及しているが、粗大酸化物等に対する対策が示されていないので、粗大酸化物の生成によってHAZ靭性が低下する可能性を排除することができず、更なる大入熱化に対応できる技術であるとはいえない。
さらに、特許文献5に開示の技術は、酸硫化物のピン止め効果によってHAZ組織を微細化する技術であるが、酸硫化物を起点とする組織変態制御を考慮した技術ではないので、更なる大入熱化に対応できる技術であるとはいえない。
In addition, Patent Document 4 mentions a structural transformation starting from an oxide, but does not show a countermeasure against the coarse oxide and the like, and eliminates the possibility that the HAZ toughness is lowered due to the formation of the coarse oxide. It cannot be said that it is a technology that can cope with further increase in heat input.

以下に、図面を参照しながら、本願発明の実施形態による溶接熱影響部の靭性に優れた鋼材(以下、単に鋼材という)について詳細に説明する。
本実施形態による鋼材は、例えば溶接入熱量が60kJ/mmを超えるような、非常に大きな溶接エネルギーの影響を受けた溶接熱影響部(HAZ,Heat Affected Zone)において優れた靭性を発揮する鋼材である。以下の説明において、本実施形態による鋼材の溶接熱影響部をHAZと記し、HAZにおける靭性をHAZ靭性と記す。
Hereinafter, a steel material (hereinafter simply referred to as a steel material) excellent in toughness of a weld heat affected zone according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The steel material according to the present embodiment is a steel material that exhibits excellent toughness in a weld heat affected zone (HAZ, Heat Affected Zone) affected by a very large welding energy, for example, a welding heat input exceeding 60 kJ / mm. is there.

For the composite oxide having 0 or less and an equivalent circle diameter of 0.1 to 3 μm, the number of composite oxides satisfying the following formula (1) is 100 / mm 2 or more.

0.008 ≦ (1/d)×{mass%S/(mass%CaO+mass%REM)} ≦ 0.289 ・・・(1)
(但し、dは個々の複合酸化物の円相当直径であって、0.1〜3μmである)
さらに、上記式(1)を満たす0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物の平均組成は、Alが20%以下、TiOが3〜20%、ZrOが5〜50%、REM酸化物が5〜50%、CaOが5〜50%、Sが1〜15%である。

続いて、上述した本鋼材の構成について詳細に説明する。
[炭素C:0.02〜0.13%]
炭素Cは、鋼材(母材)の強度を確保するために欠くことのできない元素である。しかし、Cの含有量が0.13%を超えると、HAZに島状マルテンサイト(MA)が多く生成してHAZの靱性低下を招くばかりでなく、COガスの発生などに起因して溶接性にも悪影響を及ぼす。従って、Cの含有量を0.02質量%以上0.13質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.04質量%以上0.1質量%以下である。
In the present embodiment, the contents of elements and components are simply described using the percentage “%”, but this is a simplified description of the mass percentage “mass%”. Please keep in mind.
Then, the structure of this steel material mentioned above is demonstrated in detail.
[Carbon C: 0.02 to 0.13%]
Carbon C is an element indispensable for securing the strength of the steel material (base material). However, if the content of C exceeds 0.13%, not only does island martensite (MA) form in the HAZ, leading to a reduction in the toughness of the HAZ, but also weldability due to the generation of CO gas, etc. It also has an adverse effect. Therefore, the C content is specified to be 0.02 mass% or more and 0.13 mass% or less. Preferably they are 0.04 mass% or more and 0.1 mass% or less.

[ケイ素Si:0.05〜0.5%]
ケイ素Siは、脱酸作用を有すると共に、固溶強化により母材の強度向上に寄与する元素である。しかし、Siの含有量が0.5%を超えると、鋼材の溶接性や靱性が低下するので、Siの含有量の上限を0.5%とする。特にHAZ靱性を高めるには、Siの含有量を0.3%以下とすることが推奨される。但し、Siの含有量を抑えるほどHAZ靱性が向上するが、その一方で鋼材の強度が低下する場合がある。従って、Siの含有量の下限を0.05%とし、Siの含有量を0.05質量%以上0.5質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.07質量%以上0.35質量%以下、より好ましくは0.1質量%以上0.25質量%以下である。
[Silicon Si: 0.05-0.5%]
Silicon Si is an element that has a deoxidizing action and contributes to improving the strength of the base material by solid solution strengthening. However, if the Si content exceeds 0.5%, the weldability and toughness of the steel material deteriorate, so the upper limit of the Si content is set to 0.5%. In particular, in order to increase the HAZ toughness, it is recommended that the Si content be 0.3% or less. However, as the Si content is reduced, the HAZ toughness is improved, while the strength of the steel material may be reduced. Therefore, the lower limit of the Si content is set to 0.05%, and the Si content is specified to be 0.05% by mass or more and 0.5% by mass or less. Preferably they are 0.07 mass% or more and 0.35 mass% or less, More preferably, they are 0.1 mass% or more and 0.25 mass% or less.

[マンガンMn:1.0〜2.5%]
マンガンMnは、母材の強度向上に寄与する元素である。しかし、Mnの含有量が2.5%を超えると、母材の溶接性が低下する。さらに、Mnの含有量が1.0%を下回ると強度が低下してしまうため、Mnの含有量を1.0質量%以上2.5質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは1.3質量%以上2.0質量%以下である。
[Manganese Mn: 1.0 to 2.5%]
Manganese Mn is an element that contributes to improving the strength of the base material. However, if the Mn content exceeds 2.5%, the weldability of the base material is degraded. Furthermore, since intensity | strength will fall when content of Mn is less than 1.0%, content of Mn is prescribed | regulated to 1.0 mass% or more and 2.5 mass% or less. Preferably they are 1.3 mass% or more and 2.0 mass% or less.

[リンP:0.03%以下]
リンPは、偏析し易い元素であり、特に鋼材中の結晶粒界に偏析してHAZ靱性を低下させる元素である。Pは、通常、母材に不可避的に0.001%程度含有されているので、Pの含有量を0.03質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.02質量%以下、より好ましくは0.01質量%以下である。但し、本実施形態は、Pの含有量が0質量%である場合を含まない。
[Phosphorus P: 0.03% or less]
Phosphorus P is an element that easily segregates, and is an element that segregates at a grain boundary in a steel material and lowers the HAZ toughness. Usually, P is unavoidably contained in the base material in an amount of about 0.001%, so the content of P is specified to be 0.03% by mass or less. Preferably it is 0.02 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.01 mass% or less. However, this embodiment does not include the case where the P content is 0% by mass.

[硫黄S:0.01%以下]
硫黄Sは、Mnと結合して硫化物(MnS)を生成し、母材の靱性や板厚方向における延性を低下させる元素である。例えば、Sが、ランタンLaやセリウムCeなどのREMと結合してREMの硫化物(例えば、LaSやCeS)を生成すると、REM酸化物の生成が阻害されるため、HAZ靱性が低下する。しかし、Sは、通常、母材に不可避的に0.0005%程度含有されているので、Sの含有量を0.01質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.008質量%以下、より好ましくは0.006質量%以下である。但し、本実施形態は、Sの含有量が0質量%である場合を含まない。
[Sulfur S: 0.01% or less]
Sulfur S is an element that combines with Mn to produce sulfide (MnS) and lowers the toughness of the base material and the ductility in the plate thickness direction. For example, when S is combined with REM such as lanthanum La or cerium Ce to generate a REM sulfide (for example, LaS or CeS), generation of REM oxide is inhibited, so that HAZ toughness is reduced. However, since S is normally unavoidably contained in the base material in an amount of about 0.0005%, the S content is specified to be 0.01% by mass or less. Preferably it is 0.008 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.006 mass% or less. However, this embodiment does not include the case where the S content is 0% by mass.

[アルミニウムAl:0.002〜0.040%]
アルミニウムAlは、脱酸剤として作用する元素である。しかし、Alを母材に対して過剰に添加すると、添加されたAlは母材中の酸化物を還元して粗大なAl酸化物を形成するので、HAZ靱性が低下する。一方で、Alの含有量が少ないと溶鋼が酸素で汚染されやすくなるため、Alの含有量は0.002%が下限である。従って、Alの含有量を0.002質量%以上0.040質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.004質量%以上0.025質量%以下、より好ましくは0.005質量%以上0.015質量%以下である。
[Aluminum Al: 0.002 to 0.040%]
Aluminum Al is an element that acts as a deoxidizer. However, when Al is added excessively with respect to the base material, the added Al reduces oxides in the base material to form coarse Al oxide, so that the HAZ toughness decreases. On the other hand, when the Al content is small, the molten steel is easily contaminated with oxygen, so the lower limit of the Al content is 0.002%. Therefore, the Al content is specified to be 0.002 mass% or more and 0.040 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.004 mass% or more and 0.025 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.005 mass% or more and 0.015 mass% or less.

[チタンTi:0.005〜0.040%]
チタンTiは、母材中にTiNなどの窒化物や、Tiを含む酸化物を生成し、HAZ靱性の向上に寄与する元素である。しかし、Tiを母材に対して過剰に添加すると、Tiの固溶強化によって母材自体が硬化しHAZ靱性の低下に繋がるため、Tiの含有量を0.04%以下に抑えなくてはならない。従って、Tiの含有量を0.005質量%以上0.040質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.010質量%以上0.030質量%以下、より好ましくは0.014質量%以上0.025質量%以下である。
[Titanium Ti: 0.005 to 0.040%]
Titanium Ti is an element that contributes to the improvement of HAZ toughness by generating a nitride such as TiN or an oxide containing Ti in the base material. However, if Ti is excessively added to the base material, the base material itself is hardened by solid solution strengthening of Ti and leads to a decrease in HAZ toughness. Therefore, the Ti content must be suppressed to 0.04% or less. . Therefore, the Ti content is specified to be 0.005% by mass or more and 0.040% by mass or less. Preferably it is 0.010 mass% or more and 0.030 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.014 mass% or more and 0.025 mass% or less.

[ジルコニウムZr:0.0003〜0.020%]
ジルコニウムZrは、Zrを含む複合酸化物を生成してHAZ靱性の向上に寄与する元素である。しかし、Zrを母材に対して過剰に添加すると、粗大なZr酸化物(ZrO)が生成してHAZ靱性が低下する。また、粗大なZr炭化物(ZrC)が生成することで、母材自体の靱性が低下する。従って、Zrの含有量を0.0003質量%以上0.020質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.0005質量%以上0.015質量%以下、よりに好ましくは0.0009質量%以上0.010質量%以下である。
[Zirconium Zr: 0.0003-0.020%]
Zirconium Zr is an element that contributes to the improvement of HAZ toughness by generating a complex oxide containing Zr. However, when Zr is added excessively with respect to the base material, coarse Zr oxide (ZrO 2 ) is generated and HAZ toughness is lowered. Further, the formation of coarse Zr carbide (ZrC) reduces the toughness of the base material itself. Therefore, the Zr content is specified to be 0.0003 mass% or more and 0.020 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.0005 mass% or more and 0.015 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0009 mass% or more and 0.010 mass% or less.

[希土類金属REM:0.0003〜0.020%]
REM(希土類元素)は、酸化物の生成に必要な元素である。REMによるこれらの酸化物を含有することで、酸化物が鋼材中に微細分散し易くなる。この微細分散した酸化物が、HAZの粒内αの生成核となりHAZ靱性の向上に寄与する。しかし、REMを過剰に添加すると、固溶REMが生成して母材内で偏析するので、母材自体の靱性が劣化する。従って、REMの含有量を0.0003質量%以上0.020質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.0005質量%以上0.015質量%以下、よりに好ましくは0.0009質量%以上0.010質量%以下である。
[Rare earth metal REM: 0.0003-0.020%]
REM (rare earth element) is an element necessary for generation of oxides. By containing these oxides by REM, the oxides are easily finely dispersed in the steel material. This finely dispersed oxide serves as a production nucleus for intra-grain α of HAZ and contributes to improvement of HAZ toughness. However, when REM is added excessively, solid solution REM is generated and segregates in the base material, so that the toughness of the base material itself deteriorates. Therefore, the content of REM is specified to be 0.0003 mass% or more and 0.020 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.0005 mass% or more and 0.015 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0009 mass% or more and 0.010 mass% or less.

具体的にREMとは、ランタノイド元素(LaからLnまでの15元素)およびSc(スカンジウム)とY(イットリウム)を含む元素を意味する。本実施形態では、これらの元素の中でもLa、CeおよびYよりなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種の元素を含有することが好ましく、より好ましくはLaおよび/またはCeを含有するとよい。
[カルシウムCa:0.0003〜0.0080%]
カルシウムCaは、酸化物の生成に必要な元素である。Caも、HAZの粒内αの生成核となりHAZ靱性の向上に寄与するので、0.0003%以上含有させるとよい。しかし、Caを過剰に添加すると、粗大なCa硫化物が生成して母材の靱性が劣化する。従って、Caの含有量を0.0003質量%以上0.0080質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.0005質量%以上0.0060質量%以下、より好ましくは0.0007質量%以上0.0030質量%以下である。
Specifically, REM means an element containing a lanthanoid element (15 elements from La to Ln) and Sc (scandium) and Y (yttrium). In this embodiment, it is preferable to contain at least one element selected from the group consisting of La, Ce and Y among these elements, and more preferably La and / or Ce.
[Calcium Ca: 0.0003-0.0080%]
Calcium Ca is an element necessary for the production of oxides. Ca also becomes a production nucleus of intra-grain α of HAZ and contributes to the improvement of HAZ toughness. However, when Ca is added excessively, coarse Ca sulfide is generated and the toughness of the base material is deteriorated. Therefore, the Ca content is specified to be 0.0003 mass% or more and 0.0008 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.0005 mass% or more and 0.0006 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0007 mass% or more and 0.0003 mass% or less.

[窒素N:0.0030〜0.010%以下]
窒素Nは、窒化物(例えば、ZrNやTiNなど)を析出する元素である。窒化物は、ピン止め効果によって溶接時のオーステナイト粒の粗大化を抑制することで、HAZ靱性の向上に寄与する。Nは、含有量が多いほど窒化物を形成してオーステナイト粒の微細化を促進するため、HAZ靱性の向上に有効に作用する。しかし、Nの含有量が0.010%を超えると、固溶Nの量が増大して母材自体の靱性が劣化し、HAZ靱性も低下する。従って、Nの含有量を0.0030質量%以上0.010質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.0040質量%以上0.0090質量%以下、より好ましくは0.0050質量%以上0.0080質量%以下である。
[Nitrogen N: 0.0003 to 0.010% or less]
Nitrogen N is an element that precipitates nitrides (eg, ZrN, TiN, etc.). Nitride contributes to the improvement of HAZ toughness by suppressing the austenite grain coarsening during welding by the pinning effect. Since N forms a nitride and promotes refinement of austenite grains as the content increases, it effectively works to improve HAZ toughness. However, if the N content exceeds 0.010%, the amount of solute N increases, the toughness of the base metal itself deteriorates, and the HAZ toughness also decreases. Therefore, the N content is specified to be 0.0030% by mass or more and 0.010% by mass or less. Preferably it is 0.0040 mass% or more and 0.0009 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0050 mass% or more and 0.0008 mass% or less.

[酸素O:0.0003〜0.0050%]
酸素Oは、酸化物の生成に必須の元素であり、含有量が0.0003%より少ないと、母材中に十分な量の酸化物が得られない。また、含有量が0.0050%より多いと、酸化物の粗大化によりHAZ靭性の低下を招く。従って、Oの含有量を0.0003質量%以上0.0050質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.0010質量%以上0.0040質量%以下、より好ましくは0.0015質量%以上0.0035質量%以下である。
[Oxygen O: 0.0003 to 0.0050%]
Oxygen O is an essential element for the formation of oxides. If the content is less than 0.0003%, a sufficient amount of oxide cannot be obtained in the base material. On the other hand, when the content is more than 0.0050%, the HAZ toughness is lowered due to the coarsening of the oxide. Therefore, the O content is specified to be 0.0003 mass% or more and 0.0050 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.0010 mass% or more and 0.0040 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0015 mass% or more and 0.0033 mass% or less.

ここでOの含有量は、トータル酸素量を示し、母材中の酸化物を形成しているOと、母材中に固溶しているフリーのOの合計量を意味している。
本鋼材は、上述の各元素を含有し、残部が鉄および不可避不純物からなる。
上述の各元素以外の残部の成分は、鉄および不可避不純物(例えば、MgやAs,Seなど)である。
Here, the content of O represents the total amount of oxygen, and means the total amount of O forming an oxide in the base material and free O dissolved in the base material.
This steel material contains the above-mentioned elements, and the balance consists of iron and inevitable impurities.
The remaining components other than the above-described elements are iron and inevitable impurities (for example, Mg, As, Se, etc.).

さて、上述の元素を含有する本鋼材は、REM、Zr、Ti、Al、CaおよびSを含有する複合酸化物(酸化物および/または酸硫化物)を含む。本鋼材に含有される複合酸化物は、Al、Ti、Zr、REM、およびCaの酸化物と硫化物を含むAl・Ti・Zr・REM・Ca・S系複合酸化物であるが、これら以外に、例えば、Mn、Siなどの
元素や、その他の成分元素を含んでいても良い。Al・Ti・Zr・REM・Ca系の酸化物は、鋼材との格子整合性がよく、HAZにおいて粒内組織変態(粒内変態)を促進するので、HAZの組織を微細化するのに有効である。
Now, the steel material containing the above-described element includes a composite oxide (oxide and / or oxysulfide) containing REM, Zr, Ti, Al, Ca, and S. The composite oxides contained in this steel are Al, Ti, Zr, REM, and Al / Ti / Zr / REM / Ca / S based composite oxides containing oxides and sulfides of Ca. In addition, for example, elements such as Mn and Si and other component elements may be included. Al, Ti, Zr, REM, and Ca-based oxides have good lattice matching with steel materials, and promote intragranular structure transformation (intragranular transformation) in HAZ, so they are effective in refining the HAZ structure. It is.

本鋼材は、上述の複合酸化物について、円相当直径で3μm超の酸化物の個数は、本鋼材の断面において1mmあたり5.0個以下である。円相当直径で3μmを超える複合酸化物は粗大であるため、入熱量が60kJ/mmに達するような大入熱溶接においては、HAZ靭性をかえって低下させる。そのため、3μmを超える複合酸化物の個数は5.0個/mm以下に抑える必要がある。 In the present steel material, the number of oxides having an equivalent circle diameter of more than 3 μm in the above-described composite oxide is 5.0 or less per 1 mm 2 in the cross section of the steel material. Since the complex oxide having an equivalent circle diameter exceeding 3 μm is coarse, in high heat input welding in which the heat input reaches 60 kJ / mm, the HAZ toughness is reduced. Therefore, the number of composite oxides exceeding 3 μm needs to be suppressed to 5.0 pieces / mm 2 or less.

一方、本鋼材は、上述の複合酸化物が、円相当直径で0.1μm以上3μm以下(以下、0.1〜3μmと表記する)の大きさであり、下記式(1)を満たし、かつその個数が本鋼材の断面において100個/mm以上存在するように含有している。
0.008 ≦ (1/d)×{mass%S/(mass%CaO+mass%REM)} ≦ 0.289 ・・・(1)
(但し、dは個々の複合酸化物の円相当直径であって、0.1〜3μmである)
この円相当直径で0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物は、HAZにおいて粒内組織変態(粒内変態)を促進してHAZ靭性を向上させるためのものであるため、以下に、円相当直径で0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物について検討する。なお、円相当直径で0.1μm未満の複合酸化物は、HAZ靱性の向上に殆ど寄与しないため、上記複合酸化物の個数には含めない。
On the other hand, in the present steel material, the above-mentioned composite oxide has a circle equivalent diameter of 0.1 μm to 3 μm (hereinafter referred to as 0.1 to 3 μm), satisfies the following formula (1), and It is contained so that the number thereof is 100 / mm 2 or more in the cross section of the steel material.
0.008 ≦ (1 / d) × {mass% S / (mass% CaO + mass% REM 2 O 3 )} ≦ 0.289 (1)
(Where d is the equivalent circle diameter of each composite oxide and is 0.1 to 3 μm)
This composite oxide having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.1 to 3 μm is for promoting intragranular structure transformation (intragranular transformation) in HAZ and improving HAZ toughness. A composite oxide having a thickness of 0.1 to 3 μm will be examined. Note that a complex oxide having an equivalent circle diameter of less than 0.1 μm hardly contributes to the improvement of HAZ toughness, and thus is not included in the number of complex oxides.

以下、円相当直径で0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物が式(1)を満たすべき理由について説明する。
まず、REMとCaは酸化物も硫化物も形成しうる酸硫化物形成元素である。そこで、酸硫化物形成元素(REMとCaO)の濃度に対するS濃度(mass%S)が高すぎると、過剰に生成される硫化物が、酸化物とマトリックスとの整合を阻害してしまうため、複合酸化物が組織制御に寄与する能力(粒内変態能)が低下する。また、酸硫化物形成元素(REMとCaO)の濃度に対するS濃度(mass%S)が低すぎる場合、硫化物生成に伴うひずみエネルギーが得られず粒内変態にとって不利となるため、粒内変態能が低下する。さらに、複合酸化物そのもののサイズ(複合酸化物の円相当直径d)に起因するひずみエネルギーが粒内変態に影響を与える。
Hereinafter, the reason why a complex oxide having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.1 to 3 μm should satisfy the formula (1) will be described.
First, REM and Ca are oxysulfide-forming elements that can form oxides and sulfides. Therefore, if the S concentration (mass% S) with respect to the concentration of the oxysulfide forming elements (REM 2 O 3 and CaO) is too high, the excessively generated sulfide inhibits the matching between the oxide and the matrix. Therefore, the ability (intragranular transformation ability) of the composite oxide to contribute to the structure control is reduced. Also, if the S concentration (mass% S) relative to the concentration of oxysulfide forming elements (REM 2 O 3 and CaO) is too low, strain energy associated with sulfide formation cannot be obtained, which is disadvantageous for intragranular transformation. The intragranular transformation ability decreases. Furthermore, the strain energy resulting from the size of the composite oxide itself (equivalent circle diameter d of the composite oxide) affects the intragranular transformation.

式(1)では、これら粒内変態に影響を及ぼすと考えられる条件を考慮した第二項が示されている。ところで、この式(1)の第二項において、酸硫化物形成元素(REMとCaO)に対するS濃度(mass%S)、および複合酸化物のサイズ(複合酸化物の円相当直径d)には、粒内変態に貢献するひずみエネルギーを産み出すための最適範囲があり、式(1)の第二項に上限値および下限値が存在すると推察される。そこで、実験的に式(1)の第二項の上限値および下限値を求めた。 In Formula (1), the 2nd term which considered the conditions considered to influence these intragranular transformation is shown. By the way, in the second term of the formula (1), the S concentration (mass% S) with respect to the oxysulfide forming elements (REM 2 O 3 and CaO), and the size of the composite oxide (the equivalent circle diameter d of the composite oxide) ) Has an optimum range for producing strain energy that contributes to intragranular transformation, and it is presumed that an upper limit value and a lower limit value exist in the second term of Equation (1). Therefore, the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second term of Expression (1) were experimentally obtained.

式(1)の第二項の上限値および下限値の求め方を説明する。
まず、試作材に対して入熱量60kJ/mmの溶接のHAZを模擬した入熱試験を実施した。その後、入熱試験後の試作材を鏡面研磨し腐食を行い、腐食により組織を顕にして複合酸化物に起因する粒内変態の有無を調査した。
続いて、EPMA(Electron Probe MicroAnalyzer)にて、試作材における複合酸化物の組成とサイズを測定し、0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物について式(1)の第二項の値を算出した。
A method for obtaining the upper limit value and the lower limit value of the second term of Expression (1) will be described.
First, a heat input test simulating welding HAZ with a heat input of 60 kJ / mm was performed on the prototype material. Thereafter, the prototype material after the heat input test was mirror-polished and corroded, and the presence of intragranular transformation caused by the composite oxide was investigated by revealing the structure by the corrosion.
Subsequently, the composition and size of the composite oxide in the prototype were measured by EPMA (Electron Probe MicroAnalyzer), and the value of the second term of the formula (1) was calculated for the composite oxide of 0.1 to 3 μm.

粒内変態の有無と算出した第二項の値を表1に示す結果としてまとめ、粒内変態の有無が○印で示された(粒内変態が有った)鋼材の第二項の値に基づいて、第二項の範囲を0.008以上0.289以下に設定した。   The presence or absence of intragranular transformation and the calculated value of the second term are summarized as the results shown in Table 1, and the presence or absence of intragranular transformation is indicated by a circle (the value of the second term of the steel material having intragranular transformation). Based on the above, the range of the second term was set to 0.008 or more and 0.289 or less.

円相当直径0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物は、式(1)を満たした上で100個/mm以上含有されるが、さらに、平均組成について、Alが20%以下、TiOが3%以上20%以下(3〜20%)、ZrOが5%以上50%以下(5〜50%)、REM酸化物が5%以上50%以下(5〜50%)、CaOが5%以上50%以下(5〜50%)、Sが1%以上15%以下(1〜15%)となる必要がある。 The complex oxide having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.1 to 3 μm is contained at 100 pieces / mm 2 or more after satisfying the formula (1). Furthermore, the average composition is 20% or less of Al 2 O 3 , TiO 2. 2 is 3% to 20% (3 to 20%), ZrO 2 is 5% to 50% (5 to 50%), REM oxide is 5% to 50% (5 to 50%), CaO is It is necessary to be 5% or more and 50% or less (5 to 50%) and S is 1% or more and 15% or less (1 to 15%).

これは、酸化物組成がHAZにおける酸化物と鋼材との格子整合性に影響するので、酸化物組成を上記範囲の含有量に制御しなければ、円相当直径0.1〜3μmの複合酸化物がHAZにおける粒内変態に寄与できない、つまりHAZの組織微細化に寄与できないからである。
以上のような化学成分組成を有する本鋼材は、板厚が約3.0mm以上の厚鋼板などを対象としており、小〜中入熱溶接はもとより、入熱量が50kJ/mm以上となる大入熱溶接においてもHAZ靱性の低下を防ぐことができるので、例えば橋梁や高層建造物、船舶などの大型構造物の材料として使用できる。
This is because the oxide composition affects the lattice matching between the oxide and the steel material in the HAZ. Therefore, if the oxide composition is not controlled to the content in the above range, a composite oxide having a circle equivalent diameter of 0.1 to 3 μm. This is because it cannot contribute to the intragranular transformation in HAZ, that is, it cannot contribute to the refinement of the HAZ structure.
This steel material having the chemical composition as described above is intended for thick steel plates having a plate thickness of about 3.0 mm or more. In addition to small to medium heat input welding, the heat input is 50 kJ / mm or more. Since the HAZ toughness can be prevented from being lowered even in thermal welding, it can be used as a material for large structures such as bridges, high-rise buildings, and ships.

[ニッケルNi、銅Cu、クロムCr、モリブデンMo:0.05〜1.50%]
本実施形態に係る鋼材は、上述の成分元素に加えて、ニッケルNi、銅Cu、クロムCr、モリブデンMoのうち少なくとも1種を0.05%以上1.50%以下(0.05〜1.50%)含有してもよい。
Cu、Ni、Cr、Moは、いずれも本鋼材の靭性と強度を高めるのに寄与する元素であり、各々単独で、あるいは複合して添加できる。例えば、Cuの添加によって靭性と強度を有効に向上させるには、Cuを0.05%以上含有させることが好ましい。しかし、Cuの含有量が1.50%を超えると、母材の強度を高め過ぎて却って母材の靱性を低下させるため、HAZ靱性も低下してしまう。従って、Cuの含有量を0.05質量%以上1.50質量%以下に規定する。
[Nickel Ni, Copper Cu, Chromium Cr, Molybdenum Mo: 0.05 to 1.50%]
In the steel material according to the present embodiment, in addition to the above-described component elements, at least one of nickel Ni, copper Cu, chromium Cr, and molybdenum Mo is 0.05% to 1.50% (0.05 to 1.50). 50%) may be contained.
Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mo are all elements that contribute to increasing the toughness and strength of the steel material, and can be added alone or in combination. For example, in order to effectively improve toughness and strength by adding Cu, it is preferable to contain 0.05% or more of Cu. However, if the Cu content exceeds 1.50%, the strength of the base material is excessively increased and the toughness of the base material is decreased, so that the HAZ toughness is also decreased. Therefore, the Cu content is specified to be 0.05% by mass or more and 1.50% by mass or less.

Ni、Cr、MoもCuと同様に、0.05%以上含有させることが好ましいが、含有量が1.50%を超えると、母材の強度を高め過ぎて却って母材の靱性を低下させるため、HAZ靱性も低下してしまう。従って、Ni、Cr、Moの含有量も0.05質量%以上1.50質量%以下に規定する。
[ニオブNb、バナジウムV:0.002〜0.10%]
さらに、本実施形態に係る鋼材は、ニオブNb、バナジウムVのうち少なくともいずれか一方を0.002%以上0.10%以下(0.002〜0.10%)含有していてもよい。NbとVは、いずれも炭窒化物として析出する。この炭窒化物はピン止め効果を発揮するので、溶接時におけるオーステナイト粒の粗大化が抑止され、HAZ靱性の向上に寄与する。そこで、Nbの添加によってHAZ靭性を有効に向上させるには、Nbを、0.002%以上含有させるのが好ましい。しかし、Nbの含有量が0.10%を超えると、析出する炭窒化物が粗大化し、却ってHAZ靱性を低下させてしまう。従って、Nbの含有量を0.002質量%以上0.10%質量%以下に規定する。
Like Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mo are preferably contained in an amount of 0.05% or more. However, if the content exceeds 1.50%, the strength of the base material is excessively increased and the toughness of the base material is decreased. Therefore, the HAZ toughness is also lowered. Therefore, the contents of Ni, Cr, and Mo are also specified to be 0.05% by mass or more and 1.50% by mass or less.
[Niobium Nb, Vanadium V: 0.002 to 0.10%]
Furthermore, the steel material according to the present embodiment may contain at least one of niobium Nb and vanadium V in a range of 0.002% to 0.10% (0.002 to 0.10%). Nb and V are both precipitated as carbonitrides. Since this carbonitride exhibits a pinning effect, coarsening of austenite grains at the time of welding is suppressed, contributing to improvement of HAZ toughness. Therefore, in order to effectively improve the HAZ toughness by adding Nb, it is preferable to contain Nb of 0.002% or more. However, if the Nb content exceeds 0.10%, the precipitated carbonitrides become coarse, and on the contrary, the HAZ toughness is lowered. Therefore, the Nb content is specified to be 0.002% by mass or more and 0.10% by mass or less.

VもNbと同様に、0.002%以上含有させるのが好ましい。しかし、Vの含有量が0.10%を超えると、析出する炭窒化物が粗大化し、却ってHAZ靱性を低下させてしまう。従って、Vの含有量を0.002質量%以上0.10%質量%以下に規定する。
[ホウ素B:0.0005〜0.0050%]
加えて、本実施形態に係る鋼材は、ホウ素Bを0.0005%以上0.0050%以下(0.0005〜0.0050%)含有していてもよい。Bは、粒界フェライトの生成を抑制して靱性を向上させる元素である。そこで、Bの添加によって本鋼材の靭性を向上させるには、Bを0.0005%以上含有させるのが好ましい。しかし、Bの含有量が0.0050%を超えると、オーステナイト粒界にBNとして析出し、靱性の低下を招く。従って、Bの含有量を0.0005質量%以上0.0050質量%以下に規定する。好ましくは0.0010質量%以上0.0040質量%以下、より好ましくは0.0015質量%以上0.0030質量%以下である。
V, like Nb, is preferably contained in an amount of 0.002% or more. However, when the content of V exceeds 0.10%, the precipitated carbonitrides are coarsened, and on the contrary, the HAZ toughness is lowered. Therefore, the V content is specified to be 0.002% by mass or more and 0.10% by mass or less.
[Boron B: 0.0005 to 0.0050%]
In addition, the steel material according to this embodiment may contain 0.0005% or more and 0.0050% or less (0.0005 to 0.0050%) of boron B. B is an element that suppresses the formation of grain boundary ferrite and improves toughness. Therefore, in order to improve the toughness of the present steel material by adding B, it is preferable to contain 0.0005% or more of B. However, if the B content exceeds 0.0050%, it precipitates as BN at the austenite grain boundaries, leading to a decrease in toughness. Therefore, the B content is specified to be 0.0005 mass% or more and 0.0050 mass% or less. Preferably it is 0.0010 mass% or more and 0.0040 mass% or less, More preferably, it is 0.0015 mass% or more and 0.0003 mass% or less.

[本実施形態に係る鋼材の製造]
本実施形態に係る鋼材は、例えば溶鋼の二次精錬において、上述した化学成分組成となるように各元素を添加することで得られるが、本鋼材の製造方法の一例として、後述する実施例に示す鋼の製造方法(製造条件)、つまり各元素の添加方法について説明する。
以下の説明では、真空溶解炉(容量150kg)を用いて鋼を溶製し、150kgのインゴットに鋳造して冷却することで、後述する実施例および比較例に示す鋼を得た。
[Manufacture of steel materials according to this embodiment]
The steel material according to the present embodiment can be obtained by adding each element so as to have the above-described chemical component composition, for example, in the secondary refining of molten steel. The steel manufacturing method (manufacturing conditions) shown, that is, the method of adding each element will be described.
In the following description, steel was melted using a vacuum melting furnace (capacity 150 kg), cast into a 150 kg ingot, and cooled to obtain steels shown in examples and comparative examples described later.

[溶存酸素量の調整]
初めに、真空溶解炉で溶解された溶鋼において、複合酸化物を形成する元素(複合酸化物形成元素)を添加する前に溶存酸素量とS濃度を調整する。
まず、複合酸化物形成元素の添加前における溶存酸素量(mass%Of)を0.005%以下となるように調整した。その後、溶存酸素濃度(mass%Of)と、溶鋼中のS濃度(mass%S)の比(mass%Of/mass%S)が、0.2 ≦ mass%Of/mass%S ≦ 9.6となるようにS濃度(mass%S)を調整した。
[Adjustment of dissolved oxygen content]
First, in a molten steel melted in a vacuum melting furnace, the amount of dissolved oxygen and the S concentration are adjusted before adding an element for forming a complex oxide (a complex oxide forming element).
First, the amount of dissolved oxygen (mass% Of) before the addition of the complex oxide-forming element was adjusted to 0.005% or less. Then, the ratio (mass% Of / mass% S) of dissolved oxygen concentration (mass% Of) and S concentration (mass% S) in molten steel is 0.2 ≦ mass% Of / mass% S ≦ 9.6. S concentration (mass% S) was adjusted so that

ここで、S濃度(mass%S)を調整するための脱硫方法は特に限定されないが、予めS濃度の低い溶鋼を用いても良い。
上述の溶存酸素量とS濃度の根拠は次の通りである。まず、溶存酸素量が0.005%を超えると、溶鋼中で生成する酸化物が粗大化してしまう。その上で、(mass%Of/mass%S)の値が大きい場合、酸化物に対して必要な硫化物が十分に生成しない。また、(mass%Of/mass%S)の値が小さい場合、所望の酸化物を得ることができないだけでなく、S濃度が高すぎるため粒内変態を阻害する水準にまで硫化物が生成してしまう。
Here, the desulfurization method for adjusting the S concentration (mass% S) is not particularly limited, but molten steel having a low S concentration may be used in advance.
The grounds for the dissolved oxygen amount and the S concentration are as follows. First, when the amount of dissolved oxygen exceeds 0.005%, the oxide generated in the molten steel becomes coarse. In addition, when the value of (mass% Of / mass% S) is large, the sulfide necessary for the oxide is not sufficiently generated. Moreover, when the value of (mass% Of / mass% S) is small, not only the desired oxide cannot be obtained, but also the sulfide is generated to a level that inhibits intragranular transformation because the S concentration is too high. End up.

そのため、mass%Ofとmass%Sの間には適正なバランスが有り、(mass%Of/mass%S)の値には適正な範囲が存在する。その範囲を実験的に求め、0.2 ≦ mass%Of/mass%S ≦ 9.6とした。
[Alの添加]
次に、Alは酸硫化物構成元素の一つであり、Ti酸化物を確保するために、Tiよりも先に溶鋼に添加した。
Therefore, there is an appropriate balance between mass% Of and mass% S, and an appropriate range exists for the value of (mass% Of / mass% S). The range was experimentally determined, and 0.2 ≦ mass% Of / mass% S ≦ 9.6.
[Addition of Al]
Next, Al is one of oxysulfide constituent elements, and was added to the molten steel before Ti in order to secure Ti oxide.

[Tiの添加]
Alの添加に続いて、REM、Zrよりも先にTiを溶鋼に添加した。TiをAlよりも先に添加すると、その後の工程でTi酸化物が全てAlによって還元されてしまうので
、Alを添加した後にTiを添加しなくてはならない。Tiの添加後、2分以上15分以下にわたって、他の元素を添加せずに溶鋼を保持した。
[Addition of Ti]
Following the addition of Al, Ti was added to the molten steel before REM and Zr. If Ti is added before Al, all Ti oxides are reduced by Al in the subsequent steps. Therefore, Ti must be added after Al is added. After the addition of Ti, the molten steel was held for 2 to 15 minutes without adding other elements.

これは、Al→Tiの順で添加しても、その後の溶鋼の保持時間が2分未満では、十分にAlとTiの複合酸化物が形成されず、逆に15分を超えれば、Alによる還元が進みすぎてしまうからである。つまり、AlおよびTiの添加順は上述の式(1)に影響する。
[REM・Zrの添加]
溶鋼を2分〜15分間保持した後に、REMおよびZrを添加した。REMとZrの添加順は、特に問わない。つまり、REM→Zrでも良いし、Zr→REMでも良いし、またREMとZrを同時に添加しても良い。
Even if it is added in the order of Al → Ti, if the holding time of the molten steel thereafter is less than 2 minutes, a complex oxide of Al and Ti is not sufficiently formed. This is because the reduction proceeds too much. That is, the order of addition of Al and Ti affects the above formula (1).
[Addition of REM / Zr]
After holding the molten steel for 2 to 15 minutes, REM and Zr were added. The order of addition of REM and Zr is not particularly limited. That is, REM → Zr, Zr → REM, or REM and Zr may be added simultaneously.

Zrの添加量とREMの添加量について、ZrとREMのうちいずれか一方でも過剰であると、円相当直径で3μmを超える粗大な複合酸化物が形成されてしまうからであり、また、いずれか一方の元素でも少な過ぎると、円相当直径で0.1〜3μmの微細な複合酸硫化物が不足してしまう。つまり、ZrとREMの添加量は複合酸化物の粒度分布に影響する。 For the addition amount and the addition amount of REM and Zr, if an excessive even either one of the Zr and REM, it is because coarse complex oxides of more than 3μm in equivalent circle diameter will be formed, also, any If one of these elements is too small, a fine complex oxysulfide having an equivalent circle diameter of 0.1 to 3 μm is insufficient. That is, the amount of Zr and REM added affects the particle size distribution of the composite oxide.

これに加えて、REMは酸化物も硫化物も形成しやすい性質を有する反面、Zrは酸化物を形成するが硫化物は形成しないという性質を有する。従って、酸化物と硫化物のバランスを適正化するには、mass%Ofとmass%Sに応じてZrとREMを添加する必要がある。
そこで、以下の式(2)を満足するように、Zr添加量とREM添加量の比(add[Zr]/add[REM])を決定する。
In addition to this, REM has the property of easily forming oxides and sulfides, while Zr has the property of forming oxides but not sulfides. Therefore, in order to optimize the balance between oxide and sulfide, it is necessary to add Zr and REM according to mass% Of and mass% S.
Therefore, the ratio (add [Zr] / add [REM]) of the Zr addition amount and the REM addition amount is determined so as to satisfy the following expression (2).

0.27×(mass%Of/mass%S)+0.21≦add[Zr]/add[REM]≦0.41×(mass%Of/mass%S)+0.77 ・・・(2)
式(2)に基づいて、(mass%Of/mass%S)の値が大きい、すなわち、オキサイドが生成しやすく硫化物が生成しにくい場合には、ZrをREMより多めに添加する(add[Zr]/add[REM]の値を大きくする)。また、(mass%Of/mass%S)の値が小さい、すなわち、オキサイドよりも硫化物が生成しやすい場合には、REMをZrより多めに添加する(add[Zr]/add[REM]の値を小さくする)。この考え方に立脚し、add[Zr]/add[REM]の値の上限および下限を実験的に求め、式(2)を得た。
0.27 × (mass% Of / mass% S) + 0.21 ≦ add [Zr] / add [REM] ≦ 0.41 × (mass% Of / mass% S) +0.77 (2)
Based on the formula (2), when the value of (mass% Of / mass% S) is large, that is, when oxide is easily generated and sulfide is difficult to be generated, Zr is added more than REM (add [ Increase the value of Zr] / add [REM]. In addition, when the value of (mass% Of / mass% S) is small, that is, when sulfides are more easily generated than oxide, REM is added more than Zr (add [Zr] / add [REM] Decrease the value). Based on this concept, the upper and lower limits of the value of add [Zr] / add [REM] were experimentally determined to obtain Equation (2).

[Caの添加と鍛造]
REMおよびZrを添加した後、Caを添加して鋳造した。Caもオキサイドや硫化物を形成するが、それらオキサイドや硫化物の形態は、基本的に既に存在する介在物の形態に依存するので、Caの添加前の介在物の形態に特に留意すべきである。
なお、脱酸元素であるAl,REM,Zr,Caは、全量を一度に溶鋼へ投入するのではなく、2回以上に分割して投入するか、少量ずつ連続的に投入するのが望ましい。
[Ca addition and forging]
After REM and Zr were added, Ca was added and cast. Ca also forms oxides and sulfides. However, since the form of these oxides and sulfides basically depends on the form of inclusions already present, special attention should be paid to the form of inclusions before the addition of Ca. is there.
The deoxidizing elements Al, REM, Zr, and Ca are preferably not added all at once to the molten steel, but divided into two or more times or continuously in small amounts.

なお、溶鋼へ添加するREMやCa,Zr,Tiの形態は特に限定されず、例えば、REMとして、純La,純Ce,および純Y、或いは純Ca,純Zr,および純Ti、更にはFe−Si−La合金、Fe−Si−Ce合金、Fe−Si−Ca合金、Fe−Si−La−Ce合金、Fe−Ca合金、およびNi−Ca合金などを添加すればよい。また、ミッシュメタルを溶鋼へ添加してもよい。ミッシュメタルとは、希土類元素の混合物であり、具体的には、Ceを40〜50%程度、Laを20〜40%程度含有している。但し、ミッシュメタルには不純物としてCaを含むことが多いので、ミッシュメタルがCaを含む場合は、本実施形態で規定するCa含有量の範囲を満足する必要がある。   In addition, the form of REM, Ca, Zr, Ti added to molten steel is not specifically limited, For example, as REM, pure La, pure Ce, and pure Y, pure Ca, pure Zr, pure Ti, and also Fe -Si-La alloy, Fe-Si-Ce alloy, Fe-Si-Ca alloy, Fe-Si-La-Ce alloy, Fe-Ca alloy, Ni-Ca alloy, etc. may be added.
