The invention provides normalizing type high-strength
pressure vessel steel, which comprises the following chemical components in percentage by weight: 0.12 to 0.18 percent of C, 0.15 to 0.40 percent of Si, 1.20 to 1.70 percent of Mn, less than or equal to 0.020 percent of P, less than or equal to 0.015 percent of S, 0.10 to 0.40 percent of Ni, 0.01 to 0.05 percent of Nb and 0.01 to 0.03 percent of Ti, 0.015 to 0.050 percent of Als, one or both of less than or equal to 0.20 percent of V and less than or equal to 0.70 percent of Cu and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. In the normalizing type high-strength
pressure vessel steel, the specification of the steel is controlled by utilizing a single-rolling process of a steel plate, and the uniform tissue of ferrite and
pearlite is obtained by adopting normalizing heat treatment; and in the process of rolling and heat treatment, the sufficient strength and good
impact properties are obtained by utilizing the effects of fine-grain strengthening,
precipitation strengthening and
solid solution strengthening of micro-alloying elements such as the Nb, the V, the Ti and the like. In addition, the normalizing type high-strength
pressure vessel steel achieves the excellent
welding performance by controlling carbon equivalent and can be welded by adopting methods of manual
arc welding, hidden
arc welding, gas shielded
welding,
electroslag welding or
tungsten electrode inert gas shielded-
arc welding and the like; and the normalizing type high-strength pressure vessel steel has the advantages of little used precious metals, easy control of the component of each element, simple process, low production cost and high efficiency.
