Description

소입성 및 충격인성이 우수한 오일 장비용 강 및 그 제조방법{STEEL FOR OIL TOOLS HAVING HIGH HANDENABILITY AND TOUGHNESS AND METHOD FOR PREPARING THEREOF}FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a steel for oil steels excellent in incombustibility and impact toughness,

본 발명은 소입성 및 충격인성이 우수한 저강도급(인장강도 100ksi 이상, 항복강도 80ksi 이상, 저온(-29℃) 충격인성 47J 이상, 표면과 직경의 1/4 지점까지 경도 207 내지 235 HB)의 오일 장비(Oil tool)용 강 및 그 제조방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a low strength (low tensile strength: 100 ksi or higher, a yield strength of 80 ksi or higher, a low temperature (-29 캜) impact toughness of 47 J or more, a hardness of 207 to 235 HB to a surface and a quarter of the diameter) The present invention relates to a steel for an oil tool and a manufacturing method thereof.

오일 장비(Oil tool)용 강이란 석유시추사업에서 범용적으로 사용되는 강재를 말한다. 오일 장비용 강은 주로 심해 또는 지하에서 석유, 가스를 이송하기 위한 크리스마스트리(Christmas tree), 지상 이송 설비인 웰헤드(Wellhead)의 파이프, 유압밸브, 부품 등의 다양한 용도로 가공되고 있다.Steel for oil tools refers to steels commonly used in oil drilling projects. The river for oil equipment is mainly used for various purposes such as a Christmas tree for transporting oil and gas in deep water or underground, a wellhead pipe of a ground transportation facility, a hydraulic valve, and parts.

해당 강재는 현재까지 주로 4140계열의 중탄소 Cr-Mo 합금강을 QT(Quenching&Tempering) 열처리하여 사용하고 있다. 기계적 성질 특성 측면에서 최근까지의 추세는 QT 열처리 후, 인장강도 100ksi, 항복강도 80ksi 이상의 강도를 요구하며, 경도 특성에서는 표면과 직경의 1/4지점에서 207~235HB 범위의 낮은 특성을 요구하고 있다. 4140계 강재는 국내의 KS 규격 강재인 SCM440과 유사한 강재이다. SCM440 강재는 QT 열처리 후 경도는 약 280~340 HB 범위를 나타내고 있다. 경도 측면에서 봤을 때 오일장비용 강재(4140)에서 요구되는 수준은 QT 열처리 특성으로 상당히 낮은 경도 수치를 나타내며, 이를 구현하기 위해서는 높은 온도의 소려(Tempering) 온도와 장시간의 열처리 시간을 필요로 한다. 때문에 오일장비용 4140 강재는 연속로 형태의 QT 열처리로에 비하여 비연속형(Batch Type) QT 열처리로에서 열처리하는 것이 적합하다. 연속로 QT로에서도 생산이 가능하지만 QT 열처리 후 저강도 구현을 위하여 추가적으로 소려(Tempering) 공정이 추가되어야 하며, 이로 인하여 제조 공정 비용이 증가되는 단점이 있다. Up to now, mainly used 4140 series heavy carbon Cr-Mo alloy steel is heat treated by QT (Quenching & Tempering). From the viewpoint of mechanical properties, recent trends require a tensile strength of 100 ksi and a yield strength of 80 ksi or more after QT heat treatment and a low characteristic of 207 to 235 HB in the hardness characteristic at 1/4 of the surface and diameter . The 4140 series steel is similar to the domestic KS standard steel, SCM440. The hardness of SCM440 steel after QT heat treatment is about 280 ~ 340 HB. From the viewpoint of hardness, the level required for the steel material for the oil field (4140) shows a hardness value which is considerably low due to the QT heat treatment characteristic. To realize this, a high temperature tempering temperature and a long heat treatment time are required. Therefore, it is suitable to heat treatment of the 4140 steel in the Batch type QT heat treatment furnace compared to the continuous type QT heat treatment furnace. It is possible to produce continuously in QT furnace. However, in order to realize low strength after QT annealing, additional tempering process must be added, which increases manufacturing process cost.

연속로 QT 열처리를 적용하기 위해서는 소려 공정의 유지시간 한계로 인하여 소입성이 우수하고 소려시 연화 저항성이 낮아야 한다. 일반적으로 소입성 향상을 위해서는 C, Cr, Mn, Mo, Ni과 같은 합금성분 첨가량이 증가해야 하지만, 첨가량이 증가할수록 소려시 연화 저항성이 증가하여 저강도 구현이 어려워진다. In order to apply QT heat treatment continuously, it is required to have excellent softening property due to the holding time limit of the bake process and low softening resistance when bending. Generally, the amount of alloy components such as C, Cr, Mn, Mo and Ni should be increased in order to improve the ingotability. However, as the addition amount is increased, the softening resistance during sagging increases and it becomes difficult to realize low strength.

본 발명의 목적은 연속로 QT 열처리 적용하여 요구되는 기계적 성질 만족할 수 있는 소입성이 우수한 강재 발명하는 것이다. 구체적으로는, 강의 소입성을 향상시켜서, 상온 및 저온에서의 높은 충격인성을 확보하고, 최종 가공품의 가혹한 사용조건 속에서 내구성을 향상시킨 강을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 또한, 본 발명은 최적의 저강도급 강을 실현하고, 기계적 성질의 편차가 매우 적으며 높은 소입성으로 인해 상온 및 저온에서 높은 충격인성을 나타내는 오일 장비용 강을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이로 인해 제조 공정이 단순화된 오일 장비용 강의 제조방법을 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다.It is an object of the present invention to provide a steel material excellent in the ingot qualities which can satisfy the required mechanical properties by continuously applying QT heat treatment. Specifically, it is an object of the present invention to provide a steel having improved impact resistance and high impact toughness at room temperature and low temperature, and improved durability under severe use conditions of the final product. It is another object of the present invention to provide a steel for an oil furnace which realizes an optimum low-strength steel, exhibits very small variation in mechanical properties, and exhibits high impact toughness at room temperature and low temperature due to high incombustibility. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing steel for an oil furnace in which the manufacturing process is simplified.

바람직하게는, 상기 강은 불가피한 불순물로서 P: 0.030 중량% 이하(0 미포함), S: 0.030 중량% 이하(0 미포함), Cu: 0.30 중량% 이하(0 미포함). N: 0.010 중량% 이하(0 미포함)를 포함할 수 있다.Preferably, the steel is an unavoidable impurity. P: not more than 0.030 wt% (not included), S: not more than 0.030 wt% (not including 0), and Cu: not more than 0.30 wt% (not including 0). N: 0.010 wt% or less (not including 0).

또한 상기 과제는, C: 0.38~0.43 중량%, Si: 0.20~0.30 중량%, Mn: 0.95~1.20 중량%, Ni: 0.10 중량%이하(0 미포함), Cr: 1.00~1.20 중량%, Mo: 0.15~0.25 중량%, Al: 0.015~0.030중량%, B: 0.0015~0.0030 중량%, Ti: 0.015~0.040 중량%를 포함하고, 잔부가 Fe 및 불가피한 불순물로 이루어진 강재를 연속주조하고, 1200 ~ 1230℃로 재가열하는 단계; 상기 재가열된 강재를 열간압연하여 환봉을 제조하는 단계; 및 상기 환봉을 연속로에서 820~850℃에서 소입(Quenching)하고 이어서, 700~730℃에서 소려(Temperimg)를 실시하는 단계를 포함하는 오일장비용 강의 제조방법에 의해 달성된다.The above object is also achieved by a method of manufacturing a steel plate, comprising: 0.38 to 0.43 wt% of C; 0.20 to 0.30 wt% of Si; 0.95 to 1.20 wt% of Mn; 0.10 wt% And a balance consisting of Fe and inevitable impurities is continuously cast, and the casting is carried out at a temperature of 1200 to 1230 ° C, preferably 0.15 to 0.25 wt%, Al: 0.015 to 0.030 wt%, B: 0.0015 to 0.0030 wt%, and Ti: 0.015 to 0.040 wt% ≪ / RTI > Hot rolling the reheated steel to produce a round bar; And quenching the round bar in a continuous furnace at 820 to 850 캜 and then performing tempering at 700 to 730 캜.

본 발명에 따른 오일 장비용 강은 기존 강에 비해 최적의 합금설계로 우수한 소입성 확보할 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 대형 사이즈 환봉에서도 균질한 경도 분포를 확보할 수 있다. 또한 소려(Tempering)시 연화 저항성을 최소하여 연속로 QT 열처리 공정에서 생산이 가능하기 때문에 생산성이 향상되는 장점이 있다. According to the present invention, the steel for oil steels can be obtained with excellent ingotability by the optimum alloy design as compared with the conventional steels, and thus homogeneous hardness distribution can be secured even in a large size round bar. In addition, since the softening resistance is minimized during tempering, it is possible to produce continuously in the QT heat treatment process, thereby improving the productivity.

본 발명의 강재는 C: 0.38~0.43 중량%, Si: 0.20~0.30 중량%, Mn: 0.95~1.20 중량%, Ni: 0.10 중량%이하(0 미포함), Cr: 1.00~1.20 중량%, Mo: 0.15~0.25 중량%, Al : 0.015~0.030 중량%, B : 0.0015~0.0030 중량%, Ti : 0.015~0.040 중량%를 포함하고, 잔부가 Fe 및 불가피한 불순물로 이루어진 강재이다.The steel of the present invention contains 0.38 to 0.43 weight percent of C, 0.20 to 0.30 weight percent of Si, 0.95 to 1.20 weight percent of Mn, 0.10 weight percent or less of Ni (not including 0), 1.00 to 1.20 weight percent of Cr, 0.15 to 0.25 wt% of Al, 0.015 to 0.030 wt% of Al, 0.0015 to 0.0030 wt% of B, and 0.015 to 0.040 wt% of Ti, the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

불가피한 불순물로서, P: 0.030 중량% 이하(0 미포함), S: 0.030 중량% 이하(0 미포함), Cu: 0.30 중량% 이하(0 미포함). N: 0.010 중량% 이하(0 미포함)이 포함될 수 있다.
P: not more than 0.030% by weight (not including 0), S: not more than 0.030% by weight (not including 0), and Cu: not more than 0.30% by weight (not including 0) as unavoidable impurities. N: not more than 0.010% by weight (not including 0).

본 발명의 강재에서는 C, Ni 성분을 최소로 첨가하고 B를 첨가하였다. 일반적으로 강은 A1온도 이상에서 입계에 페라이트(Ferrite)가 생성되어 연화된다. 하지만 B 첨가강은 입계에 페라이트(Ferrite)가 생성되는 사이트에 B가 석출됨으로서 강의 소입성이 향상되는 것이다. 본 발명강은 붕소 효과(Boron effect)에 의한 소입성 향상을 기대할 수 있고, Ni을 최소화 하여 더불어 연화 저항성 저하도 유도하였다.
In the steel material of the present invention, C and Ni components were minimally added and B was added. In general, ferrite is generated and softened at grain boundaries above the A1 temperature. However, the addition of B improves the ingotability of B by precipitating B at the site where ferrite is generated at grain boundaries. The steel according to the present invention can be expected to improve the boring effect due to the boron effect, minimizing Ni and also lowering softening resistance.

이하에서는 본 발명의 합금성분을 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, the alloy component of the present invention will be described in detail.

C: 0.38~0.43 중량%C: 0.38 to 0.43 wt%

본 발명을 적용하는 강의 조성 중 C은 강도를 확보하기 위한 필수성분이다. 따라서, 본 발명에서는 소입(Tempering) 후 저강도를 구현하는 것이 주요 목적으로 요구되는 C 성분 범위 내에서 최소한으로 첨가하는 범위인 0.38~0.43 중량%로 제한하였다.
Among the steel compositions to which the present invention is applied, C is an essential component for securing strength. Therefore, in the present invention, it is limited to 0.38 to 0.43 wt%, which is the minimum addition within the range of the C component required for the main purpose to realize low strength after tempering.

SiSi : 0.20~0.30 중량%: 0.20 to 0.30 wt%

Si 제강시 탈산제로 사용되며, 페라이트 강화 원소로 입계 석출되는 초석 페라이트를 강화한다. 하지만 Si 함량이 0.20 중량% 미만인 경우에는 상기 목적을 달성하기 어렵고, 0.30중량% 초과시에는 페라이트 생성을 촉진하여 오히려 강도 및 소입성을 저하시킬 수 있다. 이러한 점을 고려하여 Si의 함량은 0.20~0.30중량%로 제한하였다.
It is used as a deoxidizer in Si steel making and strengthens the pro-eutectoid ferrite which is deposited on the intergranular boundary with the ferrite strengthening element. However, when the Si content is less than 0.20% by weight, the above object can not be achieved. When the Si content is more than 0.30% by weight, ferrite generation may be promoted and the strength and entrapping property may be lowered. Considering this point, the content of Si is limited to 0.20 to 0.30% by weight.

MnMn : 0.95~1.20 중량%: 0.95 to 1.20 wt%

Mn은 C와 함께 강의 강도향상을 위해 필수적인 원소이며 또한 소입성을 향상기키는데 중요한 원소이다. Mn은 고용강화 및 탄화출 석출에 의한 석출강화로 소입성을 향상시키며 Mo, Cr 성분에 비하여 비교적 덜 안정적인 탄화물을 석출하므로 Tempering시 연화 저항성을 향상시키데 기여도가 작다. 때문에, 소입성 향상을 위하여 0.95~1.20 중량% 범위로 첨가하였다.
Mn, together with C, is an essential element for improving the strength of the steel and is an important element for improving the incombustibility. Mn improves the ingotability by precipitation strengthening by solid solution strengthening and carbonization and precipitation of relatively less stable carbide than Mo and Cr components, and thus contributes less to improving the softening resistance at the time of tempering. Therefore, it is added in the range of 0.95 to 1.20 wt% for improving the incombustibility.

AlAl : 0.015~ 0.030 중량%: 0.015 to 0.030 wt%

상기 Al은 탈산을 위해 첨가되는 원소이며, 오스테나이트 결정립미세화에 효과적인 원소로서 그 범위를 0.015~0.030 중량%로 하였다.
Al is an element to be added for deoxidation, and the range of the element effective as the austenitic grain refinement is 0.015 to 0.030% by weight.

Ni : 0.10 중량% 이하 (0 미포함) Ni : 0.10 wt% or less (not including 0)

상기 Ni은 소입성을 높여주는 원소 중에 하나이나 고온에서의 소려시 연화저항성이 높은 성분이므로 저강도 기계적 특성을 구현하기 위해 0.10 중량% 이하로 한정한다.
The Ni is one of the elements that increase the incombustibility, but is a component having high softening resistance when squeezed at high temperature, so that it is limited to 0.10 wt% or less in order to realize low mechanical properties.

CrCr : 1.00~1.20 중량% : 1.00 to 1.20 wt%

상기 Cr은 소입성을 증대시키고 강도를 향상시키는 원소이므로 1.00~1.20%로 한정한다.
Since Cr is an element that increases the incombustibility and improves the strength, it is limited to 1.00 to 1.20%.

MoMo : 0.15~0.25 중량%  : 0.15-0.25 wt%

상기 Mo은 소입성 향상 및 Mo탄화물에 의한 결정립 미세화효과가 있으므로 0.15~0.25중량%로 한정한다.
The Mo content is limited to 0.15 to 0.25% by weight since it has an effect of improving the entrapment property and grain refinement effect by Mo carbide.

B: 0.0015~0.0030 중량%B: 0.0015 to 0.0030 wt%

상기 B은 입계에 초석페라이트(Ferrite) 생성을 억제해 소입성을 향상시켜 강도 및 충격인성을 높이는 원소로 0.0015~0.0030%로 한정한다.
B is an element which increases the strength and impact toughness by improving the incombustibility by inhibiting the generation of pro-eutectoid ferrite in the grain boundary, and is limited to 0.0015 to 0.0030%.

TiTi : 0.015~0.040 중량%: 0.015 to 0.040 wt%

상기 Ti은 B보다 N과의 친화력이 높고 자유에너지가 낮아 B과의 반응에 앞서 TiN을 석출시킨다. 따라서 가용성 붕소(Soluble Boron)를 극대화 하며 이러한 석출물은 피닝(Pinning) 효과를 통해 입계를 미세화해 필요한 강도 및 인성을 얻는데 필요한 원소로 0.015~0.040 중량%이하로 하였다.
The Ti has high affinity with N and low free energy, so that TiN precipitates prior to reaction with B. Therefore, soluble boron is maximized, and these precipitates are 0.015 ~ 0.040 wt% or less as an element required to finely grain the grain boundaries through a pinning effect to obtain necessary strength and toughness.

P, S: 0.030 중량% 이하 (0 미포함)P, S: 0.030 wt% or less (not including 0)

P와 S는 불순물로서 0.030 중량% 이하로 하였다.
P and S were 0.030 wt% or less as impurities.

CuCu : 0.30 중량% 이하 (0 미포함): 0.30 wt% or less (not including 0)

Cu는 불가피한 불순물로서 인성 향상에 유효하지만, 0.30 중량 초과시에는 성형 가공성을 저해하므로 양호하지 않다. 따라서 Cu의 함량은 0.30 중량% 이하인 것이 바람직하다.
Cu is an unavoidable impurity, which is effective for improving toughness, but when it exceeds 0.30 wt. Therefore, the content of Cu is preferably 0.30% by weight or less.

N: 0.010 중량% 이하 (0 미포함)N: 0.010% by weight or less (not including 0)

N은 불가피한 불순물로서, 질화물을 형성하여 입계미세화를 이루지만, 붕소(boron) 효과를 위하여 그 중량을 0.010 중량% 이하로 제한하는 것이 바람직하다.

발명강 1은 화학성분의 특징은 범용 강재인 4140계열에 B이 첨가된 것이다. 기존 강재는 소입성 향상을 위하여 Ni를 0.20 중량% 이상 첨가하였다. Ni가 첨가된 강재는 고강도 및 고인성 강재의 생산을 위해서는 유리하지만, 본 발명강과 같은 저강도 구현을 하기 위해서는 QT열처리 후 추가적으로 소입(Tempering) 열처리를 실시해야 하는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서, 본 발명에서는 Ni 합금을 생략하고, B을 첨가하여 소입성을 향상시키는 동시에 연화 저항성을 최소화 하고자 하였다. Inventive Steel 1 is characterized by the addition of B to the 4140 series of general purpose steels. In the existing steel, 0.20 wt% or more of Ni was added to improve the ingotability. The Ni-added steel is advantageous for the production of high strength and high toughness steel. However, in order to realize low strength such as the steel of the present invention, there is a disadvantage that additional heat treatment is required after QT heat treatment. In order to overcome this disadvantage, in the present invention, the Ni alloy is omitted and B is added to improve the incombustibility and minimize the softening resistance.

상기한 조성을 갖는 발명강과 비교강을 상기 방법으로 제조하였다. 이때, 소입온도는 820℃이고 소려 온도는 730℃였다. 제조된 강의 물성(인장강도, 항복강도, 경도, -29℃ 충격인성)을 측정하여 표 3, 도 3a 및 도 3b에 나타내었다.Inventive steels and comparative steels having the above composition were prepared by the above method. At this time, the quenching temperature was 820 占 폚 and the annealing temperature was 730 占 폚.
