Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a ferritic heat resistant steel welded structure and a ferritic heat resistant steel welded structure.
- the present invention relates to a structure having a portion to be joined by welding, and a structure to which stress is applied for a long time at a high temperature, for example, a ferritic heat resistant steel welded structure used in a power plant, a chemical plant, and the like, and a manufacturing method thereof. .
- thermal power generation is stagnant at about 40 to 50%, and in the future, in order to suppress the increase in carbon dioxide emission, further higher efficiency is required.
- the thermal efficiency at the time of energy conversion is determined not only by the power plant but also by temperature and pressure. In the power plant, the higher the temperature of the steam that drives the turbine of the generator, the higher the energy conversion efficiency.
- the maximum steam temperature of a coal-fired power plant is 620 ° C, but an increase in efficiency of about 5% can be expected when the temperature is raised by 100 ° C and about 10% when the temperature is raised by 200 ° C. That is, the efficiency improvement of a power plant as an energy conversion technology at high temperature and high pressure can be effective immediately and can be a useful technology that can simultaneously solve the environmental and resource problems described above.
- any boiler or reactor that realizes such an extreme high-temperature and high-pressure environment not all the structures are exposed to high temperatures.
- a boiler it is gradually heated from water to steam, then supercritical water and super supercritical water, and high strength low alloy ferritic heat resistant steel is used at relatively low temperatures before reaching high temperature. .
- These contain 1-7% Cr and are used in a temperature range of approximately 450-580 ° C.
- Even in the reactor there are high temperature parts and low temperature parts in one reaction vessel, and the temperature of the refined oil before desulfurization at the reactor inlet is not so high. used.
- the difference between high Cr ferritic heat resistant steel and low alloy ferritic heat resistant steel is the difference in high temperature corrosion resistance due to Cr content and the ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ transformation phenomenon involving Cr as well.
- the former is mainly composed of martensite and some bainite is mixed, but the majority is based on martensite. That is, the minimum dislocation structure is a lath structure, and a block structure exists so as to include this.
- the structure is mainly composed of ferrite and mainly composed of bainite. It is a bainite structure with shear type transformation, and the transformation point is not as low as martensite.
- the mobility is high and the lath structure itself hardly occurs. That is, the low alloy ferritic heat resistant steel has almost no lath structure, and the minimum structural unit is a block structure or the ferrite grains themselves. This greatly affects both the high-temperature strength and thus the creep strength.
- the problem in using ferritic heat resistant steel at high temperatures for a long time is that the creep strength is lower than that of austenitic heat resistant steel. The generation of is inevitable.
- the ferritic heat resistant steel has a temperature at which a phase transformation occurs between an ⁇ phase stable at room temperature and a ⁇ phase stable at high temperature, a so-called transformation point.
- this transformation point contributes to the generation of a high-strength low-temperature transformation structure containing high-density dislocations.
- the transformation point itself involves a large change in the structure of the steel (rearrangement of atoms forming the crystal lattice)
- the structure of the heat-resistant steel subjected to the thermal history across the transformation point originally has a high creep strength. It is very different from the initial tempering organization introduced to give.
- HAZ heat-affected zone of the welded joint
- the fusion zone of HAZ and weld metal is at a high temperature of 1500 ° C or higher, and when there is a thermal effect from here to the base metal, it changes at the highest temperature reached (maximum heating temperature) for each part according to the distance from the weld metal It becomes a continuous body of tissue. That is, HAZ has a structure in which the metal structure generated when the maximum heating temperature changes from room temperature to 1500 ° C. is continuous according to the distance from the weld metal. However, this structure is characteristic because the holding time at the maximum heating temperature is a short time of several seconds. From the side close to the weld metal, it becomes “coarse-grained HAZ”, “fine-grained HAZ”, “two-phase region HAZ”. Broadly classified.
- FIG. 1 shows each part including the HAZ of the welded joint and the structure of the structure according to this classification.
- HAZ 6 is formed between weld metal 1 and base material 5, and HAZ 6 is configured in the order of coarse grain HAZ 2, fine grain HAZ 3, and two-phase region HAZ 4 in this order from the weld metal 1 side. Is done.
- Type IV damage The phenomenon that creep damage occurs in “fine-grained HAZ” in each part of HAZ and breaks from the welded joint is called “Type IV damage”.
- the Type IV damage has not been solved yet in a welded structure made of ferritic heat-resistant steel, and its solution has been a problem in recent years.
- Type IV damage is unique to welded joints, where only the welded joint selectively creeps and breaks despite the time and temperature conditions in which the base material is in a creep environment and can be used soundly. It is a destruction phenomenon.
- a post-weld heat treatment also referred to as stress relief annealing or SR treatment
- the heat treatment temperature is a high temperature that is different from the tempering temperature by only several tens of degrees
- the carbide remaining in the above-mentioned solid solution forms new precipitation nuclei of the carbide-forming element together with the solid solution carbon.
- the carbide remaining undissolved is coarsened as a result of thermal cycling, and at the same time, the opportunity for precipitation of fine carbide is reduced. That is, as a result of research, the present inventors have found that if the coarse carbide precipitated before welding remains undissolved, the so-called “precipitation strengthening ability” is lost.
- This phenomenon itself does not change depending on the amount of Cr, but there are differences in the temperature range where the phenomenon occurs, the shape of the coarsening precipitates, and the strengthening mechanism. This difference also affects the technology for suppressing Type IV damage, and the present invention pays attention to this point and aims to prevent Type IV damage effective for low alloy ferritic heat resistant steel.
- Type IV damage is unavoidable in the heat-resistant steel having the above transformation point and increasing the creep rupture strength by containing carbon and precipitating carbide.
- Type IV damage can occur in any steel type as long as it is a heat-resistant steel that uses carbide to perform creep strengthening, and is particularly noticeable in high Cr steels designed for long-term use at high temperatures. It is. It can also occur in low alloy heat-resisting steels containing 1-7% Cr, which are primarily intended for use at low temperatures.
- Type IV damage remains an unavoidable problem in thermal power plants or petroleum desulfurization reactors that have conditions where the application temperature is 500 ° C. or higher.
- JP 2008-214753 A, JP 2008-248385 A, JP 2008-266785 A, JP 2008-266786 A, and JP 2008-291363 A generation of such fine-grained HAZ is described.
- heat treatment short-time normalizing treatment
- JP 2008-266785 A, JP 2008-266786 A, and JP 2008-291363 A generation of such fine-grained HAZ is described.
- heat treatment short-time normalizing treatment
- this heat treatment makes it possible to set the average grain size of the austenite crystal grains before the low-temperature transformation to 100 ⁇ m or more and to suppress the refinement of the low-temperature transformation structure.
- This technique dares to leave the residual ⁇ , which is a structure that normally disappears, in the martensite lath or bainite grain boundary by short-time normalizing treatment before welding, and promotes their growth and coalescence in reheating during welding.
- This technology utilizes the "structure memory effect" that reproduces old ⁇ grains that were generated at high temperatures in the base metal before welding.
- This technology requires a furnace for high-temperature heat treatment of the entire member including the groove before welding (in most cases, a steel pipe having a length of more than 10 m), so that it is difficult to perform on-site construction. Furthermore, the risk of deformation of the steel pipe, which is a product, due to heating of the entire steel pipe, as well as the time for reheating and the large process load, are issues, and this is a realistic solution from the viewpoint of local construction. Not.
- Type IV When compared with conventional ferritic heat-resistant steel where the precipitation position of coarsening carbides is completely recrystallized and the position of precipitation of coarsening carbides is irrelevant to the newly generated crystal grain boundary, Type IV The effect of reducing (delaying) the occurrence of damage is recognized. That is, although coarsening of the precipitate cannot be completely prevented, a certain structure stabilization by the precipitate on the grain boundary can be achieved. Therefore, in the case of high B content steel, the occurrence of Type IV damage is delayed, and its strength reduction is effective for a limited long time use such as 100,000 hours, and it can be said that Type IV damage itself is reduced. . However, in the creep environment for a longer time, the decrease in the HAZ creep strength is unavoidable due to the advance of coarsening of carbides. This became clear from the results of long-term creep tests, particularly from 30,000 hours or more.
- the stabilization of the structure by the precipitates on the grain boundaries is a new strengthening hypothesis that has been proposed in recent years, and has conventionally been thought to be ineffective for strengthening.
- Even in the case of a coarse precipitate on a large-angle grain boundary in creep deformation in which the large-angle grain boundary can move after a long period of time, the row of coarse carbides left after the grain boundary movement can serve as a dislocation migration barrier. It is thought that it will be responsible for strengthening in extremely long creep deformation exceeding 10,000 hours.
- the Type IV damage completely eliminates the strengthening effect of the coarse precipitate row in which the inter-particle distance is narrowed by arranging in this row. Therefore, it is one way of thinking that can explain the reason why the strength decrease due to Type IV damage becomes more prominent as the time increases.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2001-003120 discloses a technique in which a welded steel pipe is made to have a structure equivalent to that of a base material by reheating (normalizing-tempering) the entire welded structure.
- the purpose of this method is to eliminate unevenness in joint strength by heat treatment including the weld metal.
- a furnace larger in size than the heat treatment furnace described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-214753 or the like is necessary, and the workability on site is low.
- the weld metal originally has an alloy composition determined so that the creep strength can be maximized when the welded cast structure is subjected to a post-weld heat treatment at a temperature lower than the tempering temperature as it is.
- Japanese Unexamined Patent Application Publication Nos. 2016-14178 and 2016-130339 disclose a technique for preventing Type IV damage by local heat treatment in steels containing B at 100 ppm and 80 ppm or more, respectively. These technologies use the structure memory effect using residual ⁇ existing at the remarkable lath boundary in B-added steel, but conversely, there is little residual ⁇ in the base material or the part subjected to heat treatment before welding. However, there is a possibility of remaining, and the toughness tends to decrease.
- Type IV damage prevention technology that takes into account economic efficiency and on-site workability has been applied to ferritic heat resistant steels containing B only at 50 ppm or less, particularly low alloy ferritic heat resistant steels containing 1 to 7% Cr. was not proposed.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a ferritic heat-resistant steel welded structure manufacturing method that can prevent Type IV damage without adding a high concentration of B and is excellent in local workability, and is free from Type IV damage. It is to provide a ferritic heat resistant steel welded structure.

In addition, since the present invention is suitable for a high-temperature pressure vessel or the like, the thickness (in the case of a steel pipe) is preferably 4 mm or more.
- a steel material having the chemical composition (mass%) shown in Table 1 was melted and cast in a high-frequency induction heating type vacuum melting furnace having a steel material capacity of 300 kg to obtain a steel ingot having a weight of 300 kg. Thereafter, the steel ingot was reheated to 1150 ° C. in an electric furnace in an air atmosphere and then held in the furnace for 30 minutes. Thereafter, the steel ingot was hot rolled into a 30 mm-thick steel plate test piece using a hot rolling test apparatus. The hot rolling was finished at a temperature of 900 ° C. or higher and then allowed to cool. The hot-rolled test piece was heated and held in an electric resistance heating furnace at 980 ° C.
- M in “M 23 C 6 type carbide” is a total of 70 atomic% or more of Cr, Fe, Mo, or W. Further, the precipitates were Mo 2 C type carbides composed mainly of Mo. It was confirmed that the former was agglomerated on the large-angle grain boundary (very small ones were cubic), and the latter was acicularly precipitated in the grains.
- the grain boundary coverage by the M 23 C 6 type carbide was determined by the length occupancy of the precipitate on the large angle grain boundary based on the SEM observation image at a magnification of 10,000 times and the TEM observation image of the thin film.
- the nature of the grain boundary is measured by an electron beam backscattering analyzer (EBSD).
- EBSD electron beam backscattering analyzer
- the large-angle grain boundary means “old gamma grain boundary”, “packet grain boundary”, or “most part of block grain boundary”, which is the crystallographic designation of martensite or bainite, It is an effective grain boundary.
- the measured values were used as they were, assuming that the two-dimensional observation result was approximately equal to the area occupancy rate on the three-dimensional grain boundary (boundary) surface.
- this value can be converted into a three-dimensional value by a simple formula obtained by calculation analysis, it was judged that it was not necessary to obtain an academically accurate value, and priority was given to convenience by using the observation result as it is.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a carbide of a structure including a large-angle grain boundary 9 (three thickest solid lines in the figure) for explaining a HAZ structure model and a method of measuring the coverage by precipitation at the grain boundary. It is a conceptual diagram of grain boundary coating by. Note that L 1 to L 11 in FIG. 2 individually indicate the occupied length 7 on the grain boundary of the M 23 C 6 type carbide for each large-angle grain boundary in the field of view, and La, Lb, and Lc respectively Large angle grain boundary length 8 is shown.
- the “grain boundary coverage” is the sum of the precipitate lengths on the large-angle grain boundaries 9 (the sum of L 1 to L 11 in FIG. 2). It is a value obtained by dividing by (La + Lb + Lc), and is a parameter for determining 100% when completely covered and 0% when not completely covered.
- the length covered by the carbide on the grain boundary is the occupied length, and is not necessarily the size of the precipitate or the major axis of the elliptical precipitate on the grain boundary.
- Gram boundary coverage is the first 10,000 times the electron microscope observation, large angle grain EDX or also 10,000 fold particles deposited on field M 23 C 6 type carbide by transmission electron diffraction pattern analysis in TEM analysis Is identified. Measurement using a reflection electron image of EDX is also effective for improving the speed. Subsequently, the length of the particle covering the large-angle grain boundary is measured in the electron microscope field of view. The measurement can be carried out by collecting at least 5 visual fields per sample and 5 or more test pieces per steel, and by in-situ observation of a total of 25 visual fields or more, or by analyzing an electron micrograph. The actual calculation is performed by (the sum of the lengths occupied by the large-angle grain boundaries by the particles) / (sum of the large-angle grain boundary lengths).
- the large-angle grain boundary length is multiplied by the value obtained by subtracting the coverage of the precipitates obtained by the microscopic observation from 1, and this is further precipitated. It can obtain
- this interval is not an accurate value, and is approximated by the following equation (2) when it is assumed that the precipitate has a square distribution on the grain interface.
- the correction is an approximate expression based on calculation analysis, and there are several types depending on the assumption of distribution. In the present invention, a model assuming a “square distribution on the grain interface” that can clearly grasp the correlation with the creep strength was used. This is also an empirical formula unique to the present invention to which an experimentally matched correction is added.
- [ls] ave is the average particle center distance (nm)
- the average inter-particle center distance can be obtained by measuring the number of precipitates on the grain boundary and dividing this by the grain boundary length. Further, the formula (2) changes depending on the type of steel material and its heat treatment conditions, and therefore cannot be applied to, for example, high Cr ferritic heat resistant steel or austenitic heat resistant steel.
- the width of the prepared 30 mm-thick steel plate test piece was 200 mm, and the groove angle was 22.5 ° on one side and 45 ° as a groove pair on one side in the width direction of the steel plate test piece.
- Test pieces were prepared by machining the weld groove forming the V groove. Two of these test pieces were butted and welded. The butting route was 1 mm, the heat input was about 1 kJ / mm, and a welding joint was formed by raising 30 to 35 passes at a welding speed of about 10 cm / min.
- a plurality of welded joints having a total length of 400 mm were prepared, the joint characteristics were evaluated, and the HAZ structure was observed and analyzed.
- the creep test was performed using a creep test piece having a parallel part diameter of 6 mm, a parallel part length of 30 mm, and a total length of 70 to 86 mm.
- the test piece was sampled from the welded joint specimen from the direction perpendicular to the weld line and perpendicular to the plate thickness direction so that the HAZ was positioned at the approximate center within the distance between the scores.
- Type IV damage is caused by the fact that the carbide heated for a short time immediately above the Ac 3 point by welding heat transfer partially dissolves only around the carbide, and is fine (particle size is substantially 100 nm or less). Carbon is supplied into the base metal by complete solid solution of carbides, and the post-weld heat treatment reprecipitates these carbon and transition elements made of carbide steel on the remaining undissolved carbide, resulting in coarse carbides. It is caused by In order to prevent this, the present invention performs a heat treatment for preventing Type IV damage before welding.
- carbides precipitated in a part (HAZ part equivalent part) serving as a weld heat affected zone of a welded joint are heated to a temperature of Ac 3 points or more immediately before welding, and the temperature is increased to 10 minutes or more. It is retained and completely re-dissolved to suppress the coarsening itself due to the welding heat effect of the carbide through the undissolved carbide.
- the groove is heated to a temperature of 950 to 1050 ° C., and the portion that becomes HAZ after welding is maintained at a target temperature for 10 minutes or more regardless of the plate thickness position. It is a feature.
- the holding time is essentially a function of the plate thickness when the heating is performed from the outer surface, but it is difficult to formulate this because the welded portion is not necessarily joined between flat plates. Therefore, in the steel plate having the same shape (the chemical composition is within the scope of the present invention) in advance, a thermocouple is embedded in a portion corresponding to the outer edge of the HAZ, and the entire member is heated so that the same portion reaches the target temperature for 10 minutes or more. What is necessary is just to determine the temperature pattern of a heating apparatus.
- pre-weld heat treatment the heat treatment for preventing type IV damage performed immediately before welding.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing the influence of the maximum heating temperature holding time and temperature on the carbide form in the heat treatment before welding.
- the test involves preparing a plurality of partially cut products of 30 mm square and 10 mm thick steel plate test pieces, heat-treating them for various temperatures and times, and then cutting the cross section to observe the presence or absence of carbide precipitation by observation with a transmission electron microscope. confirmed.
- “ ⁇ ” in the figure is an example in which M 23 C 6 type carbide remained undissolved in the middle of decomposition in the test piece after being heat-treated and allowed to cool, and “ ⁇ ” indicates that all the carbide was in solid solution. This is an example that was not observed. If even a little undissolved carbide remains, the creep strength of the weld heat-affected zone will decrease by that amount, so a range including only the results of ⁇ in the figure is preferable.
- FIG. 3 suggests that when the holding time is less than 10 minutes, undissolved carbides remain partially or entirely in the structure regardless of the heating temperature, and may be coarsened by a subsequent post-weld heat treatment. It was. On the other hand, when reheated to a temperature of 950 ° C. or higher, if the holding time was 10 minutes or longer, no insoluble carbides remained at all times regardless of the heating temperature, and were completely dissolved.
- the heating temperature is less than 950 ° C.
- the steel of Table 1 is substantially in a two-phase region heating state, and the carbide form is slightly coarsened compared to room temperature at a portion not exceeding the transformation point, but decomposed and dissolved. There is no.
- the temperature becomes a temperature slightly exceeding the Ac 3 point, and it is considered that the carbide remains undissolved.
- the two-phase region heating even if there is a region where incomplete solid solution of carbide does not exist, either structure will result in incomplete solid solution (unsolid solution) carbide, and these incomplete solid solution.
- the carbide is easily coarsened by a subsequent post-weld heat treatment.
- the pre-weld heat treatment temperature necessary for completely preventing Type IV damage in the present invention is 950 ° C. or higher, and the holding time is 10 minutes or longer.
- the toughness of the steel material may decrease due to the coarse ⁇ grain size after ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ transformation even for a short time.
- the temperature is 1050 ° C.
- the M 23 C 6 type carbide is stable up to a relatively high temperature, and this upper limit temperature is higher and acceptable.
- the carbide is relatively unstable, so the upper processing temperature limit must be set low.
- the pre-weld heat treatment is performed only in the vicinity of the groove. Specifically, a region between the groove surface (hereinafter referred to as “groove surface”) and a position away from the groove surface by a predetermined depth (hereinafter referred to as “heat treatment depth before welding”). Is 950 to 1050 ° C.
- FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the welding boundary in a state where the steel plates are butted against each other as a V groove. At the same time, the length in the depth direction of the steel plate from the groove surface 10 on which the pre-weld heat treatment is performed It is shown in a schematic diagram. Type IV damage occurs in the outer edge of the HAZ. Therefore, it is necessary to hold at a temperature higher than 950 ° C. suitable for heat treatment before welding for 10 minutes or more to a position deeper than the part where the HAZ outer edge is supposed to be located.
- the transformation point of the base material is originally higher than that of carbon steel, and the width of the HAZ is not so wide.
- the plate thickness is about 30 mm
- the width of the HAZ is 3 mm or less, and even an extremely thick material exceeding 100 mm cannot usually have a HAZ width exceeding 10 mm.
- Substantial welding heat input is 5 kJ / mm, and no larger heat input welding is applied.
- the maximum HAZ width in this case was confirmed to be 5 mm in the target steel type of the present invention by a trial test of 10 welded joints. That is, Type IV damage can be prevented if it is maintained at 1050 ° C. or higher up to a depth of at least 5 mm for a necessary time by heat treatment before welding.
- the pre-weld heat treatment should be carried out at a temperature of 950 to 1050 ° C. for 10 minutes or more to a total depth of 8 mm from the groove surface.
- the HAZ may extend to 10 mm from the tangent line between the groove surface before welding and the steel surface layer surface.
- the heat treatment depth before welding needs to be 10 mm or more.
- the following measures are required particularly when heating from the outer surface is carried out.
- this is realized by high-frequency induction heating, it is effective to reduce the frequency to 3 kHz or less as much as possible in order to increase the penetration depth of the induction current.
- direct current heating it is effective to experimentally optimize the electrode contact position for current heating.
- furnace heating it is effective to increase the energy density for increasing the temperature at a depth of 10 mm by increasing the volume of the furnace and heating from all directions of the groove.
- a method of setting the heat treatment depth before welding to 10 mm may be determined and applied as appropriate.
- the groove position is the depth position 13 * of 10 mm from the base material surface layer (both front and back) where the groove position may be farthest from the groove center . It is preferable to heat-treat the part up to the line 14 and 14 * . In this way, even if a deep penetration site occurs due to a welding pass, gouging, or the like at the center of the plate thickness, a complete Type IV damage prevention treatment is possible. It is preferable to maintain at least 950 to 1050 ° C. for at least 10 minutes between all regions sandwiched by at least 13 * and 14 * .
- the region between the groove surface and the position of the groove surface farthest from the groove tip and further away from the groove by the pre-weld heat treatment depth is set to a temperature of 950 to 1050 ° C. for 10 minutes or more. It is preferable to hold.
- the pre-weld heat treatment depth before welding is set to 50 mm. This range is a value unique to the steel of the present invention because the physical constants such as heat transfer coefficient change if the target steel type changes.
- the ⁇ particle size becomes coarse when held for a certain period of time.
- the coarsening of the particle size improves the hardenability and increases the creep strength, so there is no problem with respect to the high temperature characteristics.
- heating for 30 minutes or more causes the crystal grain size to exceed about 200 ⁇ m and becomes coarse, and the toughness of the joint decreases.
- FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the holding time and the prior ⁇ grain size when the steel of the present invention is heated and held at 950 to 1050 ° C. There is no significant difference in the grain growth rate up to 30 minutes. However, when the holding time is 30 minutes or more, it can be clearly seen that the old ⁇ particle size is 200 ⁇ m or more. This is because high-temperature stable particles having a function of hindering grain growth in the temperature range, for example, precipitate particles such as NbC, TiN, and Al 2 O 3 are present at a constant density, and the pinning effect is effectively acting.
- the particle size is almost determined by the particle interval, and this is a phenomenon that can be explained by considering that the heat activation process becomes active and the time at which this pinning effect starts to come off is 30 minutes.
- a similar effect can be expected even when the M 23 C 6 type carbide is stable up to a high temperature.
- the same effect cannot be expected in the present invention in which the target steel type having a relatively small Cr content is applied.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the relationship between the old ⁇ grain size of the steel of the present invention and the 2 mm V notch Charpy impact test results. It can be seen that when the old ⁇ particle size is 200 ⁇ m or more, the Charpy impact absorption energy value of 27 J at 0 ° C., which is generally required for processing or welding of the pressure vessel, is lower. That is, FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 show that the retention time of the heat treatment before welding must be 30 minutes or less in order to obtain the toughness targeted by the present invention in the joint.
- the pre-weld heat treatment of the present invention has a region between the groove surface and a position separated from the groove surface by a pre-weld heat treatment depth of 10 to 50 mm at a temperature of 950 to 1050 ° C. Heat and hold at that temperature for 10-30 minutes.
- the heat treatment before welding may be divided into two or more times, and the total heat may be 10 to 30 minutes using the first residual heat.
- the cooling after the heat treatment is, for example, cooling.
- the post-weld heat treatment of the present invention refers to a temperature of 680 to 750 ° C. (hereinafter referred to as “post-weld heat treatment temperature”), after welding the groove, from the groove surface toward the base material within a pre-weld heat treatment depth of 100 mm or less. And the temperature is maintained for 30 minutes or longer and satisfies the formula (1).
- the post-weld heat treatment is generally applied at a temperature of (base metal transformation point ⁇ 20) ° C. or lower for a time corresponding to the plate thickness.
- base metal transformation point ⁇ 20 base metal transformation point
- the post-weld heat treatment has the effect of substantially tempering the relatively hard bainite structure generated by quenching the weld metal, preventing brittle fracture of the weld metal or brittle fracture of the bond. It is effective for.
- the base material since the base material is once heated to the ⁇ region as the pre-weld heat treatment, the base material has a bainite structure that is similarly quenched in the heating region, and has a higher hardness than the ferrite phase. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent burning cracks, brittle fracture, and toughness reduction.
- the post-weld heat treatment is a heat treatment necessary to achieve this. That is, a post-weld heat treatment that is usually performed to soften the weld metal and bond of a welded joint, and sometimes a high hardness structure of HAZ, including the base material heated to the ⁇ region in the pre-weld heat treatment in the present invention. To carry out. For this reason, the heating range in the depth direction of the temperature heating by post-weld heat treatment (hereinafter referred to as “post-weld heat treatment depth”) needs to be equal to or greater than the pre-weld heat treatment depth.
- a metal alloy weld metal as the object of the present invention has an alloy design based on the premise that the temperature of the heat treatment after welding is set to a temperature equal to or lower than (tempering temperature of base material ⁇ 20 ° C.). Yes. That is, the weld metal alloy is designed to exhibit a high temperature strength and creep strength equal to or higher than those of the base material when tempered at a lower temperature than the base material. Conversely, when tempering at a high temperature, the structure recovers and softens, so the high-temperature strength tends to decrease and the creep strength tends to decrease.
- this problem is solved by controlling the presence of precipitates, particularly the grain boundary precipitates that support the creep strength of the ferritic heat resistant steel over a long period of time.
- Type IV damage is caused by a decrease in the precipitation density of grain boundary precipitates, that is, the grain boundary occupancy as described above. That is, in the base metal or the weld metal, it is suggested that the creep strength decreases due to a decrease in the grain boundary occupancy rate due to another reason.
- the present inventors studied the precipitation form of M 23 C 6 type carbide in HAZ.
- the average particle size of the M 23 C 6 type carbide is 200 nm or less, and the coverage of the large angle grain boundary (hereinafter referred to as “grain boundary coverage”) by the M 23 C 6 type carbide is 50% or more.
- the average inter-particle surface distance (hereinafter referred to as inter-particle distance) of the M 23 C 6 type carbide precipitated on the large-angle grain boundary must be 150 nm or less in the HAZ after the heat treatment after welding. It was.
- FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the relationship between the average particle diameter of M 23 C 6 type carbide in HAZ and the toughness value at 0 ° C. of the same part.
- the toughness value at 0 ° C. is less than the target 27J, and it is clear that even if Type IV damage can be suppressed, a practical welded joint cannot be realized. .
- FIG. 8 shows the relationship between the interparticle distance of particles (in the present invention, exclusively M 23 C 6 type carbide) on the large angle grain boundary and the creep rupture strength estimated at 550 ° C. for 100,000 hours.
- the interparticle distance exceeds 150 nm, it can be seen that the estimated creep rupture strength does not exceed the target of 100 MPa.
- the growth of precipitates is a function of temperature and time, and as the precipitate size is within the precipitation temperature range, precipitation and growth occur rapidly as the temperature increases and as the time increases.
- the post-weld heat treatment conditions of the steel of the present invention are further limited by the introduction of parameters that make temperature and time equivalent from the viewpoint of diffusion.
- the following formula (1) is effective in preventing the coarsening of the precipitate more than necessary in the post-welding heat treatment range of the present invention.
- T is temperature (° C.)
- t retention time (hour)
- Log is a common logarithm.
- (Log (t) +10) (T + 273) ⁇ 10539 (1)
- FIG. 9 shows the post-weld heat treatment condition range, and the equation (1) on the relationship diagram between the post-weld heat treatment temperature and time, and shows the temperature and time ranges effective in the present invention.
- a post-weld heat treatment for 30 minutes or more is necessary, the post-weld heat treatment for an extremely long time induces coarsening of precipitates, so that it is necessary to be carried out within a finite time.
- the formula (1) assumes a body diffusion-controlled growth law of precipitates, and the precipitation growth prediction formula peculiar to the present invention, which is a modification of the Larson-Miller formula in which the permeability of time and temperature in material diffusion is assumed to be constant. It is.
- Various constants in the formula (1) were determined by observing the precipitate form with a transmission electron microscope in a steel material maintained at various temperatures and time conditions, and statistically analyzing the results.
- the average particle size of the precipitate exceeds 200 nm, or the distance between the particles of the precipitate exceeds 150 nm, or both occur at the same time, and the creep of the welded joint portion occurs.
- the decrease in strength was confirmed by estimating a creep rupture strength of 100,000 hours by Larson-Miller method from a creep test up to 10,000 hours at 550 ° C., 600 ° C. and 650 ° C.
- FIG. 10 shows the relationship between the heat treatment temperature after welding and the estimated creep rupture strength at 550 ° C. and 100,000 hours.
- FIG. 11 shows the relationship between post-weld heat treatment time and Charpy impact absorption energy at 0 ° C. when post-weld heat treatment is performed at various temperatures ranging from 680 to 750 ° C. It can be seen that the required toughness cannot be obtained unless the post-weld heat treatment is performed for 30 minutes or more regardless of the temperature.
- the toughness of the welded joint will be representatively represented by an impact test in which a 2 mm notch is cut out at the bond position. Represented by Charpy absorbed energy measured using a piece. This is not the case when the toughness of each part is separately described.
- FIG. 12 is a graph showing the relationship between the average particle size (average value of equivalent circle particle size) of M 23 C 6 type carbide in HAZ and the heat treatment temperature after welding.
- the experiment was conducted with the holding time at the post-weld heat treatment temperature being 10 hours at maximum. During this time, there was almost no effect on the average particle size of the M 23 C 6 type carbide due to the change in the holding time regardless of the temperature, and the particle size was almost a function of temperature.
- the average particle size of the M 23 C 6 type carbide exceeds 200 nm and becomes coarse.
- FIG. 13 shows the relationship between the average particle diameter of M 23 C 6 type carbide and the estimated creep rupture strength at 550 ° C. and 100,000 hours. It can be seen that when the average particle diameter exceeds 200 nm, Type IV damage occurs and the estimated creep rupture strength does not reach the target value of 100 MPa.
- ⁇ in the figure is a result of normal creep rupture with ductility
- ⁇ is an example of Type IV damage and low ductility fracture, and from the result of electron microscopic observation of the structure, Are identified.
- FIG. 14 shows the relationship between the heat treatment temperature after welding and the occupation ratio (grain boundary coverage) of the M 23 C 6 type carbide on the HAZ large-angle grain boundary.
- the test was carried out with a holding time of 30 minutes to 12 hours, but the time dependence of the precipitate size was not noticeable, and as a result, no significant difference was observed in the grain boundary coverage. Therefore, the distinction of data by time is not shown in the figure. Temperature greatly affected the grain boundary coverage.
- the precipitate becomes coarse when the heat treatment temperature after welding exceeds 780 ° C.
- the M 23 C 6 type carbide at the same temperature has already been precipitated in an amount almost close to the thermodynamic equilibrium value (particularly the amount determined by the C concentration).
- High temperature increases the average particle size and causes Ostwald maturation to reduce the number of particles (small particles dissolve in solids, large particle growth occurs, and interfacial energy decreases to stabilize the structure. .) That is, when the size of the particles is increased, the small particles disappear, so that the occupation ratio by the M 23 C 6 type carbide on the large angle grain boundary is reduced.
- the reason why the target creep strength cannot be achieved unless the grain boundary coverage is 50% or more is due to the reason specific to the low alloy ferritic heat resistant steel that is the target steel type of the present invention. That is, when the amount of Cr is relatively low as 7% or less, the total length of the large-angle grain boundaries formed in the ferrite structure or ferrite-pearlite structure, or bainite structure or bainite-ferrite structure formed by “complete annealing” is as follows: Shorter than high strength steel such as high Cr ferritic heat resistant steel. This is because the size of block grains or ferrite grains, which are the smallest structural constituent units because of low internal stress generated during transformation, is compared to the same boundary or grain boundary containing high-density dislocations such as martensite.
- cross sectional structure is overwhelmingly small. This is because the boundaries and grain boundaries generated for stress relaxation are naturally determined by the magnitude of internal stress generated during lattice transformation, and if this is small, there is no need to form the boundaries and grain boundaries.
- a typical example is a complete ferrite structure, and the new ferrite grain boundary is generated and grown with the old ⁇ grain boundary as the nucleus, and no boundary is generated inside.
- the high-temperature strength of the material especially the creep strength
- the grain boundary precipitates are maintained in a creep environment for a long time and are left in a row by the rear grain boundary movement, and the mobility of dislocations is as if they were the intragranular precipitate rows.
- the grain boundary coverage by the M 23 C 6 type carbide can be increased to 50% or more by appropriate pre-weld heat treatment and proper post-weld heat treatment. Further, as shown in FIG. 15, in HAZ in which the grain boundary coverage by M 23 C 6 type carbide is 50% or more, an estimated 100,000 hour creep rupture strength equivalent to that of the base material is obtained, and there is no reduction in strength. Since there is no tissue factor causing Type IV damage, it is possible to completely prevent the same phenomenon.
- the post-weld heat treatment depth was limited to a pre-weld heat treatment depth of 100 mm or less.
- the purpose of post-weld heat treatment is stress relief annealing of the HAZ structure, and it is necessary to perform post-heat treatment at the same depth as the local pre-weld heat treatment construction range that produces a structure similar to HAZ.
- the reason why the maximum depth is limited to 100 mm is that heat treatment after welding a part not affected by heat treatment before welding as well as HAZ has the same effect as tempering the base metal for a long time, This is to avoid a decrease in temperature strength (that is, excessive softening) as a result of heating a portion where there is no thermal influence related to welding work over a wide range.
- the average particle size (equivalent circle particle size) of the precipitates on the large-angle grain boundaries was determined as follows. First, the cross-sectional structure of the test piece after the heat treatment after welding was observed by SEM, and then the grain boundary structure constituting the ferrite structure was observed in more detail by EBSD. Among them, the difference between adjacent crystal orientations is 15 ° or more, and the angle around the common rotation axis between adjacent crystal orientations is selected at the time of martensitic transformation. Degrees of 16 ° and 16 ° were drawn on an SBSD-attached SEM, and this was designated as “block grain boundary (large-angle grain boundary)”.
- the 10,000 times image photograph was observed at least 5 fields of view in the heat affected zone of one joint, measured the cross-sectional area of the precipitate for all of the particles, and calculated back from the area assuming that this was all a circle.
- the equivalent circle diameter was used.
- One of the features of the present invention is to prevent incomplete solid solution of carbides in the HAZ by heat treatment before welding.
- heat treatment by “local heating” has a common “intermediate temperature heating” problem in any case. That is, when only the target region is heated to the target temperature, an intermediate temperature region that is heated to a temperature zone lower than the target temperature is generated in the region adjacent to the range. For this reason, it is necessary to always consider the possibility that a target tissue or a part where an effect does not appear appears and a possibility that a special tissue change occurs in a low-temperature part. However, in the case of the present invention, it was experimentally verified that this problem does not occur.
- the adjacent portion is reheated to a temperature zone of 950 ° C. or lower, and there is a portion heated to a temperature just above the Ac 3 point that generates Type IV damage. Become. It is assumed that the part may be coarsened due to incomplete solid solution of carbide.
- Type IV damage was originally exposed to such a temperature immediately above the ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ transformation point for a short time and transformed into the ⁇ phase, so that the carbide partially dissolved in the parent phase in a short time, resulting in complete solid solution. This is because it is cooled before it dissolves to produce undissolved carbides. Undissolved carbides are coarsened by subsequent post-weld heat treatment.
- the grain boundary position of the recrystallized ⁇ grains generated at that time is generated at a site different from the old ⁇ grain boundary position, the coarsening of the incomplete solid solution carbide is caused by the newly generated old ⁇ grain boundary. Occurs at a completely different site. For this reason, the precipitation density on the grain boundaries decreases, long-term columnar carbide precipitation cannot be realized, and relatively random coarse carbides are formed, and dislocation mobility is relatively increased.
- the holding time of the portion heated immediately above the transformation point is only about 10 seconds at the most, whether it is heated several times or when heated once. For this reason, the above-described incomplete dissolution (incomplete solid solution) of the carbide occurs, resulting in coarsening during reprecipitation, and the carbide precipitated on the first old ⁇ grain boundary is affected by welding heat. It can no longer precipitate in the new and old ⁇ grain boundaries generated by transformation again at the part, and remains in the grains.
- FIG. 16 shows a schematic diagram of a temperature propagation state measurement specimen.
- a 0.5 mm hole reaching from the steel plate surface to the plate thickness center position at a 1 mm pitch from the heating end surface 17 of the steel plate was drilled, and a thermocouple was joined to the bottom of the hole.
- the opened hole for temperature measurement was filled with Al 2 O 3 powder to close the hole to prevent dissipation of heat from the hole for measurement. After that, it is heated from the end by a high-frequency induction heating device, and the surface layer is always heated to 950 ° C. (the lower limit temperature of the heat treatment before welding according to the present invention), and the temperature propagation behavior is investigated by each thermocouple. did.

- the time-dependent change in temperature at a position 30 mm from the heating end face 17 is shown in FIG.
- the horizontal axis in FIG. 17 is the “heating time”, that is, the elapsed time from the start of temperature increase, and is different from the “holding time” (elapsed time after the target part reaches the set temperature).
- the temperature at the 30 mm position becomes almost constant by heating from the heating end face after about 10 minutes, and then exceeds the Ac 3 transformation point 880 ° C. of the steel in Table 1 by 20 ° C.
- the temperature gradually rises, but it can be seen that there is only a small increase so that almost no change is observed.
- the temperature gradient determined by the heat transfer coefficient of the material is determined after 10 minutes, and the steel material is sufficiently long for heat input Is considered to approach a temperature distribution that matches the temperature curve assumed to be 0 ° C. at infinity. That is, it means that the maximum heating temperature gradually decreases from around 900 ° C. at a site separated by 30 mm or more, but the temperature does not increase beyond that.
- the structure In the part held at the intermediate temperature between Ac 1 point and Ac 3 point, the structure is simply two-phase, and this is the state where the ratio is changed as a function of the maximum heating temperature, in which the part becomes the ⁇ -phase Then, decomposition and solid solution of carbide occurs, but if there is no change in temperature distribution, decomposition and solid solution of carbide in the ⁇ phase occurs completely, and incomplete solid solution is not observed. That is, an incomplete solid solution structure of carbide, which is a cause tissue of Type IV damage, does not occur even in a two-phase coexisting temperature range.
- thermocouple indication temperature at the position was recorded, and this was regarded as the temperature distribution at the position in the depth direction from the groove surface, and the state of temperature fluctuation was confirmed.
- the results are shown in FIG. In the figure, the position 30 mm from the groove surface and the Ac 3 transformation point temperature are shown at the same time.
- ⁇ Temperature distribution hardly changes after heating for more than 10 minutes.
- the heat removal in the depth direction and the heat input from the groove surface are balanced in terms of conversion per unit area after 10 minutes, and do not fluctuate in this time zone.
- substantially TYPE IV damage is caused when the open tip surface is heated to 950 to 1050 ° C. and maintained at the same temperature for 10 minutes or more up to a range of 30 mm depth in the steel components shown in the present invention. It can be confirmed that no occurrence occurs even when the base metal melt and the HAZ width change are taken into consideration. In addition, even when the temperature of the heating groove surface was set to 1050 ° C. (the upper limit temperature of the heat treatment before welding of the present invention), although the heating range was widened, the same effect was obtained and it was more effective.
- the steady state of the temperature distribution as described above is obtained only when the volume of the steel material is sufficiently large and the heat diffusion direction from the heating end face can be regarded as being sufficiently long.
- the temperature distribution of the steel material does not become a steady state, and the region where the temperature near the ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ transformation point constantly moves moves. Therefore, it is not always guaranteed that a certain place as described above continues to be heated to the same temperature for 10 minutes or more. Therefore, in order to surely realize this steady state, the surface area that can be heated is preferably 30% or less of the entire target member for the purpose of imparting a steady state temperature distribution to the base material that is a heat sink. In this case, the position away from the groove can be heated to prevent the steady temperature distribution from being maintained.
- the length of the base material is preferably at least three times the pre-weld heat treatment depth.
- the upper limit of the holding time was set to 30 minutes so that the temperature distribution could be reliably in a steady state.
- the upper limit of the holding time is more preferably 25 minutes, and further preferably 20 minutes.
- the target steel type is different and the memory effect due to residual ⁇ is not utilized. Therefore, although the fine grain region is formed at the outer edge of the HAZ as the structure, the present inventors have experimentally confirmed that the crystal grain size has no influence on the creep characteristics of the ferritic heat resistant steel. Therefore, the structure of the HAZ is also different, and the only factor to be controlled is the state of precipitated carbide, which is a different technique.
- the present invention has the advantage of superior toughness compared to the case where B is added in an amount of 80 ppm or more.
- the effective width or length of the heat treatment before welding is preferably 50% or less of the width or length of the structure (as described above, the temperature distribution is steady). In view of the state, it is more preferably 1/3 or less.)
- the site subjected to the pre-weld heat treatment can be identified as follows.
- the grain boundary coverage by the M 23 C 6 type carbide cannot be improved to 50% or more. Therefore, when “the enforcement width or length of the heat treatment after welding” is larger than “the enforcement width or length of the heat treatment before welding”, the boundary of whether or not the pre-weld heat treatment has been performed is M 23 C 6 type carbide. It can be judged by whether or not the grain boundary coverage is 50% or more.
- the grain boundary coverage by the presence or M 23 C 6 type carbide of the M 23 C 6 type carbide, as described above, can be confirmed by transmission electron diffraction pattern analysis in the electron microscope observation or TEM analysis.
- the boundary between the portions subjected to the heat treatment after welding can be determined by the presence or absence of a lath structure having a bainite structure. That is, in the region where the pre-weld heat treatment is performed and in the vicinity thereof, the hardenability is lowered because the material is quenched from a lower temperature than the base material. Therefore, the development of the lath is weak at the site where the pre-weld heat treatment is performed and its vicinity, and the lath structure disappears when the post-heat treatment is performed on the site.
- the presence or absence of a lath structure can be easily determined by TEM or EBSD.
- FIG. 19 is an electron microscopic image of a tissue having a lath structure.
- FIG. 20 is an electron microscopic image of the tissue in which the lath structure has disappeared.
- the tissue receives the same thermal history as HAZ, and a lath boundary extending in parallel from the upper left to the lower right of the paper surface is recognized.
- the lath boundary disappears, and the structure is changed to a structure called subgrain that forms substantially isotropic grains.
- the ferritic heat resistant steel welded structure according to the present embodiment includes a portion having a lath structure and a portion not having a lath structure. According to the present embodiment, the cost can be reduced and the local workability can be improved as compared with the case where the post-weld heat treatment is applied to the entire structure resistance. Further, since the softening of the structure can be suppressed as compared with the case where the entire structural resistance is subjected to the heat treatment after welding, the high temperature strength and the desired creep strength can be improved.

- the amount of C is too large, the precipitates become coarse and the grain boundary coverage by the precipitates in the HAZ decreases, so the C amount is made 0.15% or less. Further, if the amount of C is large, the coarsening of the carbide generated at the grain boundary is accelerated, and the creep rupture strength may be lowered. Therefore, the amount of C is more preferably 0.14% or less.
- Si 0.02 to 0.45% Si is a deoxidizing element, and 0.02% or more is added. In order to enhance the deoxidation effect, it is preferable to add 0.10% or more of Si. Si is also effective in improving oxidation resistance, and it is more preferable to add 0.20% or more. On the other hand, when Si exceeding 0.45% is added, an oxide containing Si may become a starting point of brittle fracture and impair toughness. In addition, excessive addition of Si may occupy the lattice occupied position of the dissolved Mo or W to promote the precipitation of Fe 2 Mo or Fe 2 W, and may reduce the creep rupture strength. Therefore, the Si amount is set to 0.45% or less. In order to increase toughness, the Si content is preferably 0.40% or less, and more preferably 0.35% or less.
- Mn 0.40 to 0.80% Mn is a deoxidizer, and 0.40% or more is added in the present invention. If the deoxidation is insufficient, the toughness is lowered. Therefore, it is preferable to add 0.45% or more of Mn.
- Mn is an austenite-generating element and increases the mobility of dislocations to locally accelerate the structure recovery. Therefore, when added excessively, the creep characteristics deteriorate.
- Mn is made 0.80% or less in order to ensure creep strength. In order to further increase the creep rupture strength, the Mn content is preferably 0.70% or less, and more preferably less than 0.60%.

- the Cr content is preferably 6.0% or less, and more preferably 6.50% or less.
- Mo 0.20 to 1.10% Mo precipitates in the grains as Mo 2 C form carbides in a short-time creep environment, and has the effect of increasing the creep strength by strengthening within the grains (decreased dislocation mobility). Mo 2 C itself hardly precipitates at the large-angle grain boundary, and the interaction in strengthening with M 23 C 6 type carbide is small. In order to improve the creep rupture strength, 0.20% is added to improve the intragranular strengthening ability (this strengthening mechanism appears very remarkably in an environment of 500 ° C. or lower and may be larger than the grain boundary strengthening. ) Is preferably added in an amount of 0.40% or more.
- Mo when Mo is added excessively, Mo 6 C-type carbides are precipitated in the form of a film at the grain boundary, and the grain boundary embrittlement is absorbed, and all other carbides present at the grain boundary are absorbed to reduce the grain boundary coverage. And simultaneously increasing the interparticle distance on the grain boundary and lowering the creep strength, so the Mo amount is made 1.10% or less. When it is desired to further improve the creep strength for a long time, it is more preferable to strictly control the addition to 1.05% or less.
- N 0.003 to 0.020%
- N is an element that forms a nitride, and is an element that has the effect of mainly increasing the creep deformation resistance in the grains by precipitating VN (which agrees with lowering the apparent mobility of dislocations in the grains). is there.
- VN which agrees with lowering the apparent mobility of dislocations in the grains.
- 0.003% or more of N is contained as a minimum amount.
- Al mixed from refractory or the like may combine with N, and a sufficient amount of N for generating VN may not be ensured. Considering such a case, it is preferable to add N amount of 0.050% or more.
- N is an element that is activated by neutron irradiation to embrittle the steel. Therefore, when heat-resistant steel is used in a nuclear power plant or the like, the N content may be 0.010% or less. preferable.
- Nb 0.005 to 0.08% Nb precipitates as NbC type carbide in the grains and contributes to precipitation strengthening in the grains. If it precipitates together with VN, the movement of dislocations can be more effectively suppressed. The effect is manifested by adding 0.005%.
- NbC carbide for example, to obtain high temperature strength, it is preferable to add 0.010% or more.
- a more preferable lower limit of addition is 0.020%.
- the upper limit of addition is set to 0.08% from the viewpoint of preventing the creep strength from being lowered due to early coarsening and from the viewpoint of reducing the toughness due to the carbide.
- the addition amount is 0.07% or less from the viewpoint of suppressing the propagation of brittle cracks by NbC. Further, when NbC is finely and uniformly dispersed and the composite precipitation effect with the VN is expected to be large, the Nb content is more preferably 0.06% or less.
- V 0.005 to 0.40%
- V combines with N to produce nitride, and precipitates as VC, mainly precipitates at the grain boundary to suppress the movement of the grain boundary, and to improve the creep strength through delay of the structure recovery.
- Contribute When 0.005% is added, precipitation of VN is observed at 500 ° C. for 5000 hours, and VC exists on the grain boundary from the beginning and contributes to the improvement of creep strength.
- addition of 0.010% or more is preferable, and more preferably 0.015% or more.
- the ferritic heat resistant steel targeted by the present invention is mainly composed of precipitation strengthening of large-angle grain boundaries, and the effect of intragranular strengthening is rather not significant on the long time side. Therefore, the effect of adding V is larger in the grain boundary precipitation strengthening as VC. However, if added over 0.40%, in a long-time creep environment, it transforms into a fast-growing Z phase such as (V, Nb) 2 N in the grains, which may rather lower the creep strength. The upper limit for addition is 0.40%. Further, when VC becomes coarse, toughness decreases. Therefore, from the viewpoint of preventing toughness deterioration, when added, the content is preferably 0.38% or less. A more preferable V amount is 0.35% or less.
- the contents of Al and B mixed as impurities from cold iron sources such as scrap and refractories are limited to the following ranges.
- Al functions as a deoxidizing material in the present invention, but it often binds mainly with N and precipitates as AlN.
- AlN is coarse and needle-like and precipitates in the grains and does not contribute to strengthening. Therefore, since it is coarse, it limits to less than 0.025% from a viewpoint of toughness.
- the deoxidizer serves to lower the oxygen concentration in the steel.
- the precipitation of VN is suppressed and the effect of improving the creep strength is large. 0.020% or less is a more appropriate range.
- B Less than 0.005% B is usually mixed mainly from refractories when producing the target steel grade of the present invention through the same steelmaking process after producing B-containing steel. Although B itself enhances the hardenability of the steel, the steel type to which nitrogen is added as in the present invention may generate BN and deteriorate the toughness, so the content is limited to less than 0.005%. B-added steel may increase the hardenability of Cr steel excessively, in order to promote the phenomenon of generating stable residual ⁇ at the lath boundary even at room temperature, and to stabilize this by concentrating in residual ⁇ In some cases, the residual ⁇ is not easily decomposed even when tempering at a high temperature.

Further, in an environment where the toughness requirement is severe, it is more preferable to set it to 0.003% or less.
- S Less than 0.010% S is bound to Mn, and in order to prevent a decrease in toughness due to the formation of coarse MnS, the content is limited to less than 0.010%.
- O Less than 0.010% O forms an oxide cluster that becomes the starting point of brittle fracture and lowers the toughness, so the content is limited to less than 0.010%.
- W 0% or more and less than 1.5%
- Ti 0 to 0.12%
- W and Ti that form carbides can be added as necessary, which is suitable for the present invention.
- Both W and Ti constitute M of MC type carbide in steel and precipitate in the grains. Therefore, it does not show the effect of improving the creep strength as strong as the grain boundary precipitation, but has the effect of reducing the apparent mobility of dislocations.

Alteration due to rate-limiting occurs, and the grain boundary coverage may change in a creep test environment for a long time. Therefore, in some cases, the creep rupture strength of the welded joint is lowered, which is a point to be noted.

- the additive amount of Ce which is a selective element, was excessive, and oxides mainly composed of La 2 O 3 formed coarse clusters, and the decomposition temperature thereof exceeded the melting point of the steel of the present invention.
- this is an example in which the toughness is lowered in each part of the base material and the welded joint.
- No. 86 is an excess amount of Al classified as an impurity in the steel of the present invention, and coarse AlN is produced to reduce toughness, and the formation of intragranular nitrides is reduced and the apparent mobility of intragranular dislocations is reduced. This is an example in which the creep strength of the base metal and the weld heat affected zone is lowered by increasing.
- No. 87 was added in an amount exceeding the upper limit in the present invention, so that coarse BN was precipitated in the tempering stage of the base metal and in the post-heat treatment stage of the welded joint. This is an example in which the toughness is reduced in both cases.
- O which is an impurity
- oxide clarasters especially many Cr-based and Mn-based clusters are formed, and the toughness is reduced in both the base metal and the weld heat affected zone. is there.
- 89 and 90 are comparative examples relating to the pre-weld heat treatment conditions that form the essence of the present invention.
- No. 89 was subjected to pre-weld heat treatment in the temperature range of the present invention, but the holding time was short, and some of the originally coarsely precipitated carbide remained in an incomplete solid solution state, and the grain boundary coverage at the same site This is an example in which Type IV damage is developed, in which the average particle size of the particles themselves increases, the interparticle distance on the grain boundary increases, and the creep strength of the weld heat affected zone decreases.
- No. 90 had a heat treatment time exceeding 30 minutes, and there was no incompletely dissolved carbide, but the heat-affected zone during the pre-weld heat treatment was from the heated welding boundary inside the heat steel.
- the temperature distribution becomes unsteady due to the heat storage effect caused by heat reflection on other surfaces, and the M 23 C 6 type carbide becomes coarse at the outer edge of the heat-affected zone of the heat treatment before welding.
- This is an example in which the decrease in the rate, the increase in the average particle diameter, and the increase in the distance between the particles were observed, and Type IV damage occurred.
- the change in the state of the carbide particles is substantially not a welding heat affected zone, it is a part of the base material that has received the same thermal history as the heat affected zone. The measurement results are shown in the part column.
- 91 is also a restriction on heat treatment before welding, because the heating temperature is as low as less than 950 ° C. and did not become a ⁇ single phase. Therefore, in the ⁇ phase generated by partial transformation as shown in FIG. Sufficient solid solution of carbide particles due to low is not progressed, resulting in a large number of incomplete solid solution carbides remaining, resulting in a decrease in grain boundary coverage, an increase in average particle size, and an increase in interparticle distance, This is an example of Type IV damage.
- No. 92 is an example in which the pre-weld heat treatment temperature was too high, so that the old ⁇ grain size became coarse and the toughness of the base material decreased.
- No. 93 is the pre-weld heat treatment width, that is, the depth of heat in the direction perpendicular to the weld line does not reach 10 mm, and part of the weld heat affected zone is outside the depth (or width) of the pre-weld heat treatment.
- the effect of heat treatment before welding cannot be obtained, and in the same part, incomplete solid solution of carbide and coarsening of particle diameter, decrease in grain boundary occupancy and increase in distance between particle surfaces can be confirmed. This is an example in which the creep rupture strength of the welded joint is reduced due to Type IV damage.
- the pre-weld heat treatment area is defined as a portion where the center of the plate thickness is heated to Ac 3 points or more, the same region exceeds 30%, so the entire member is heated in the same manner as 90, and the heat Due to the heat reflection from the opposite end faces of the steel material and the heat storage effect, the temperature distribution of the pre-weld heat treatment becomes unsteady due to factors other than heat transfer from the heated groove surface, and M 23 C 6 at the outer edge of the heat affected zone of the pre-weld heat treatment.
- Type IV damage occurred due to the coarsening of the type carbides, resulting in a decrease in grain boundary coverage, an increase in average particle diameter, and an increase in interparticle distance.
- the change in the state of the carbide particles is not a welding heat-affected zone, but is a base material portion that has received the same heat history as the heat-affected zone.
- the change of the structure is described in the column of the weld heat affected zone.
- No. 95 has a low post-weld heat treatment temperature, but the M 23 C 6 type carbide had a small average particle size, but a sufficient amount of precipitation was not obtained, and the grain boundary occupation area ratio due to the particles decreased, so the particle spacing increased. As a result, the creep strength of the welded joint is reduced, although it is not a low ductile fracture such as Type IV damage.
- the heat treatment temperature after welding is too high, the average particle diameter of the M 23 C 6 type carbide on the grain boundary is increased, as a result, the distance between the particle surfaces is increased, and the grain boundary occupancy by the particles is reduced, This is an example in which the creep strength of the welded joint is reduced, although it is not a low ductile fracture such as Type IV damage.
- No. 97 is an example in which the heat treatment temperature after welding was appropriate, but the heat treatment time was short, the residual stress generated during welding of the welded joint could not be removed sufficiently, and the toughness of the welded joint, that is, the bond was lowered.
- the heat treatment time after welding is too long, and becomes a post-weld heat treatment that deviates from the appropriate heat treatment range shown by the formula (1), and the initial strength decrease due to softening of the welded portion affects the creep rupture strength of the welded joint, This is an example in which the same strength has decreased.

Description
(Log(t)+10)・(T+273)<10539 (1)
ここで、tは保持時間であり、Tは温度である。tの単位は時間であり、Tの単位は℃である。Logは常用対数である。
上述のとおり、Type IV損傷は、溶接の熱伝達によってAc3点直上に短時間加熱された炭化物が炭化物の周囲のみ部分的に固溶するとともに、微細(粒子径サイズが実質的に100nm以下)な炭化物の完全固溶によって母材中に炭素が供給され、その後の溶接後熱処理によって、残留した未固溶炭化物上に、これらの炭素と、炭化物鋼製遷移元素が再析出して炭化物が粗大化することによって生じる。本発明は、これを防止する目的で、溶接前に、Type IV損傷防止のための熱処理を実施する。具体的には、溶接継手の溶接熱影響部となる部位(HAZ部相当部位)に析出している炭化物を、溶接直前に、Ac3点以上の温度に加熱して、当該温度に10分以上保持して完全に再固溶しておき、未固溶炭化物を通じた炭化物の溶接熱影響による粗大化自体を抑制する。
続いて、本発明に係るフェライト系耐熱鋼溶接構造体の製造方法の一環をなす、溶接後熱処理と、その結果生じる組織中の析出物形態について説明する。
(Log(t)+10)・(T+273)<10539 (1)
本発明の特徴の一つは、溶接前熱処理によって、HAZにおける炭化物の不完全固溶を防止することにある。
Cは、材料の強度を固溶強化によって高め、本発明で重要な析出物である炭化物M23C6を形成する元素である。本発明では、前記炭化物によるクリープ破断強度向上のためにCを0.08%以上添加する。析出強化能を高めるには、0.09%以上のCを添加することが好ましい。一方、C量が多すぎると、析出物が粗大になり、HAZにおける析出物による粒界被覆率がかえって低下するため、C量を0.15%以下とする。また、C量が多いと粒界に生成した炭化物の粗大化が早くなり、クリープ破断強度を低下させることがあるため、C量を0.14%以下にすることがさらに好ましい。
Siは脱酸元素であり、0.02%以上を添加する。脱酸の効果を高めるためには、0.10%以上のSiを添加することが好ましい。また、Siは、耐酸化性の向上にも有効であり、0.20%以上を添加することがより好ましい。一方、0.45%を超えるSiを添加すると、Siを含む酸化物が脆性破壊の起点となって靭性を損なうことがある。また、過剰なSiの添加は、固溶しているMoあるいはWの格子占有位置を占有してFe2MoあるいはFe2Wの析出を促進し、クリープ破断強度が低下する場合がある。そのため、Si量は0.45%以下とする。靭性を高めるには、Si量は0.40%以下が好ましく、0.35%以下がより好ましい。
Mnは脱酸剤であり、本発明では0.40%以上を添加する。脱酸が不十分であると靱性が低下するため、0.45%以上のMnを添加することが好ましい。一方、Mnは、オーステナイト生成元素であり、転位の易動度を上げて局部的に組織回復を加速させるため、過剰に添加するとクリープ特性が劣化する。本発明では、クリープ強度を確保するために、Mnを0.80%以下とする。クリープ破断強度をさらに高めるには、Mn量を0.70%以下とすることが好ましく、より好ましくは0.60%未満とする。
Crは、鋼材の焼入れ性を高め、炭化物として鋼材を析出強化させる重要な元素である。500℃以上の温度でクリープ破断強度を高めるためには、Crを主体としたM23C6型炭化物の量を確保し、早期に粒界被覆率を高めることが必要であり、本発明では、1.0%以上を添加する。耐水蒸気酸化特性を考慮すると、2.0%以上のCrを添加することが好ましい。一方、Crを過剰に添加すると、550℃以上の高温ではM23C6型炭化物の粗大化が加速し、クリープ特性が劣化するため、Cr量を7.0%以下とする。また、放冷でマルテンサイト組織を形成し、加工性能が低下することから、Cr量を6.0%以下とすることが好ましく、より好ましい添加量は6.50%以下である。
Moは短時間のクリープ環境中においてはMo2Cの形態炭化物として針状に粒内に析出し、粒内の強化(転位の易動度の見かけの低下)によってクリープ強度を高める効果を有する。Mo2C自体は大角粒界への析出はほとんどなく、M23C6型炭化物との強化における相互作用は小さい。クリープ破断強度向上のために0.20%を添加し、粒内強化能向上(本強化機構は500℃以下の環境中では非常に顕著に発現し、粒界強化よりも大きくなる場合がある。)を一層高めるためには0.40%以上を添加することが好ましい。一方、Moを過剰に添加すると、Mo6C型炭化物として粒界にフィルム状に析出して著しい粒界脆化と、粒界に存在する他の炭化物をすべて吸収して粒界被覆率を低下させることと、同時に粒界上の粒子間距離を拡大してしまいクリープ強度を低下させることから、Mo量を1.10%以下とする。長時間クリープ強度をさらに向上させたい場合には1.05%以下の添加に厳格に制御することがより好ましい。
Nは、窒化物を形成する元素であり、主にVNを析出させて粒内のクリープ変形抵抗を高める(粒内の転位の見かけの易動度を低下させることと同意)作用を有する元素である。この効果を享受するために、最低限の量としてNを0.003%以上を含有させる。また、耐火物等から混入するAlがNと結合し、VN生成のためのN量を十分に確保できない場合がある。このような場合を考慮すると、N量は0.050%以上添加することが好ましい。しかし、N量が0.020%を超えると、VNがかえって粗大化するか、AlNの粗大析出が生じてNの添加効果が失われるため、上限を0.020%とする。また、Nは、中性子の照射により放射化して鋼を脆化させる元素であることから、耐熱鋼を原子力発電のプラント等に使用する際には、N量を0.010%以下にすることが好ましい。
Nbは粒内にNbC型炭化物として析出して粒内の析出強化に寄与する。VNと複合析出すれば、転位の動きをさらに効果的に抑制することができる。0.005%添加により効果が顕現する。より安定なNbC炭化物を活用し、例えば高温強度を獲得するには0.010%以上添加することが好ましい。さらに好ましい添加下限は0.020%である。その添加上限値は早期粗大化によるクリープ強度低下防止の観点と、同炭化物による靱性低下の観点から0.08%とする。
Vは低Crフェライト系耐熱鋼の場合、Nと結合して窒化物を生成するとともに、VCとして析出し、主に粒界に析出して粒界の移動抑制、組織回復遅延を通じてクリープ強度向上に寄与する。0.005%添加でVNの析出が500℃、5000時間より見られ、VCは初期より粒界上に存在してクリープ強度向上に寄与する。NbCとの複合析出強化をも効果的に得るためには0.010%以上の添加が好ましく、さらに好ましくは0.015%以上である。本発明が対象とするフェライト系耐熱鋼は大角粒界の析出強化が主体であり、粒内強化の効果はむしろ長時間側では大きくない。したがって、Vの添加効果はVCとしての粒界析出強化の方が大きい。ただし、0.40%を超えて添加すると長時間クリープ環境下では粒内において(V,Nb)2Nのような成長の早いZ相に変態し、クリープ強度をむしろ低下させる場合があることから、添加する場合の上限値を0.40%とする。また、VCは粗大化すると靱性低下をきたす。したがって靭性劣化防止の観点からは添加する場合において0.38%以下とすることが望ましい。より好ましいV量は0.35%以下である。
Alは、本発明では脱酸材として機能する場合があるが、主にNと結合しAlNとして析出することが多い。AlNは粗大かつ針状で粒内に析出して強化には寄与しない。したがって、粗大であることから靭性の観点より0.025%未満に制限する。前述のとおり脱酸剤として鋼中酸素濃度を下げる働きがあるが、Vを添加する鋼を対象とする本発明ではVNの析出を抑制し、クリープ強度向上効果が大きいため、低いほど好ましく、0.020%以下がさらに適切な範囲である。また、より靭性要求の厳しい環境の圧力容器では0.015%以下とすることがさらに好ましい。
Bは通常、B含有鋼を製造した後に同一の製鋼工程を経て本発明の対象鋼種を製造する際に主に耐火物から混入することがある。B自体は鋼の焼入れ性を高めるものの、本発明のように窒素を添加する鋼種ではBNを生成して靭性を劣化させる場合があることから、含有量を0.005%未満に制限する。B添加鋼はCr鋼の焼入れ性を過剰に高める場合があって、室温でも安定な残留γをラス境界に生成する現象を促進し、かつ残留γ中に濃化してこれを安定化するために、高温で焼戻しても残留γが容易には分解しない場合がある。残留γは鋼材の衝撃試験の際にクラック先端の応力集中場で歪み誘起変態して微細ではあるがマルテンサイト組織に変態し、当該部分の脆化を来す可能性があることから、好ましくは0.004%以下とする。さらに靭性要求の厳しい環境では0.003%以下とすることがより好ましい。
Pは、粒界に偏析し、粒界破壊を助長して靱性を低下させるため、含有量を0.020%未満に制限する。
Sは、Mnと結合し、粗大なMnSの形成による靱性の低下を防止するため、含有量を0.010%未満に制限する。
Oは、脆性破壊の起点となる酸化物のクラスターを形成し、靭性を低下させるため、含有量を0.010%未満に制限する。
Ti:0~0.12%
本発明では、必要に応じて炭化物を形成するW、Tiも添加することが可能で、本発明には好適である。WとTiはいずれも鋼中でMC型炭化物のMを構成して粒内に析出する。したがって粒界析出ほど強いクリープ強度向上効果は示さないが、転位の見かけの易動度を低下させる効果を有する。WはWCの形単体ではCとの親和力が高くないことから析出しがたく、NbC、又はVCの遷移元素部分を一部置換して析出する。Tiは単体でTiCとして析出することにより、いずれも同じ粒内析出強化に寄与する。Wは原子量が大きいことから0.5%以上の添加で効果が顕現する。1.5%以上添加すると、今度は熱間加工性を低下させるχ相の形で析出し、特に熱間加工中の偏析部位に析出した場合は熱間割れを生じる可能性があることから、添加量を1.5%未満に制限する。靭性要求の厳しい圧力容器では1.40%以下に厳制御する必要があって、より好ましい。
Y、Ce、La:0~0.0500%
Ca、Mg、Y、Ce、Laは、硫化物の形態制御に用いられる元素であり、MnSによる熱間加工性や靭性の低下を抑制するために、1種又は2種以上を添加することが好ましい。特に、板厚中心部において圧延方向に延伸したMnSの生成を防止するため、それぞれ、CaとMgは0.0003%以上、Y、Ce、Laは0.010%以上添加することが好ましい。一方、Ca、Mg、Y、Ce、Laは、強力な脱酸元素でもあり、過剰に添加すると酸化物のクラスターが生成し、靱性を低下させることがあるため、それぞれ、Ca、Mgについては0.0050%以下、Y、Ce、Laについては0.0500%以下とする。靭性を高めるためには好ましくは、Ca、Mgは0.0040%以下、Y、Ce、Laは0.0300%以下であり、Y、Ce、Laは、さらに好ましくは0.0200%以下とする。
