Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of steel material preparation, and relates to a method for producing a high-crack-arresting, extra-thick, ultra-high-strength ship plate. Background Art

[0002] With the development of economy and the increase of trade volume, container ships are gradually developing towards large-scale, and the load-bearing capacity of the upper structure of the deck of container ships is also increasing. Some key parts, such as the main deck, side strakes, hatch coamings, etc., require high strength, high toughness and high crack arrest performance, and the general high-strength ship plates can no longer meet the use requirements. Taking the 24000TEU ultra-large container ship as an example, the thickness of the hatch coaming reaches 95mm, and the amount of steel used for crack arrest steel alone is more than 1000 tons per ship.

[0003] Chinese patent CN 101341269 A "High-strength thick steel plate with excellent crack arrest performance" mainly controls the differences in the organization, grain boundary density and texture of the steel plate in the thickness direction, so that the crack propagation direction of the steel plate at different thickness positions when cracking is different, thereby increasing the crack propagation resistance to improve the crack arrest performance of the steel plate. But in fact, the cooling capacity of the thick plate produced by it is insufficient, and the brittle structure at the 1 / 2 position of the plate thickness affects the crack arrest performance of the steel plate. This method has little improvement in crack arrest performance and has not fundamentally improved the toughness structure at the 1 / 2 position. Chinese patent CN 102994874 A "High crack arrest toughness steel plate with a yield strength of 500Mpa and its production method" discloses a method of refining grains and preventing crack propagation by rough rolling and then rapidly cooling to near the Ar3 phase transformation point for fine rolling. However, this method uses low-temperature impact toughness and NDT ductile-brittle transition temperature to measure the crack arrest performance of steel plates, which is not scientific and rigorous. It can only indicate that the toughness of the steel plate is good, but cannot prove that the steel plate has excellent crack arrest performance. Only the ESSO test or double tensile test is an internationally recognized standard test for measuring the crack arrest performance of steel plates. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a high-crack arresting ultra-thick and ultra-high-strength ship plate, and to produce ultra-thick crack arresting steel with a maximum thickness of 100 mm, and to produce ultra-high-strength ship plates with yield strengths of 47, 51, and 56 kg, respectively, and to particularly require a crack arrest toughness Kca ≥ 8000 N / mm at -10°C. 3 / 2 , with high crack arrest properties.

[0006] A further solution is a method for producing a high crack arrest property extra thick ultra-high strength ship plate with a yield strength of 47 kg, wherein the chemical composition of the steel and its weight percentage are: C=0.05%~0.07%, Si=0.15%~0.35%, Mn=1.00%~1.15%, P≤0.010%, S≤0.002%, Al=0.015%~0.050%, Nb=0.02%~0.03%, V=0.05%~0.06%, Ti=0.008%~0.02%, Ni=0.60%~0.70%, Mo=0.20%~0.30%, Cr=0.50%~0.60%, and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements; correspondingly, preferably, the quenching temperature is 740~760°C, and the tempering temperature is 630-650°C.

[0007] A further solution is a method for producing a high crack arrest property extra thick ultra-high strength ship plate with a yield strength of 51 kg, wherein the chemical composition of the steel and its weight percentage are: C=0.05%~0.07%, Si=0.15%~0.35%, Mn=0.90%~1.00%, P≤0.010%, S≤0.002%, Al=0.015%~0.050%, Nb=0.02%~0.03%, V=0.055%~0.065%, Ti=0.008%~0.02%, Ni=0.80%~1.00%, Mo=0.30%~0.40%, Cr=0.60%~0.80%, and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements; accordingly, preferably, the quenching temperature is 750~770°C, and the tempering temperature is 640~660°C.

[0008] A further solution is a method for producing a high crack arrestability extra thick ultra-high strength ship plate with a yield strength of 56 kg, wherein the chemical composition of the steel and its weight percentage are: C=0.06%~0.08%, Si=0.15%~0.35%, Mn=0.80%~0.90%, P≤0.010%, S≤0.002%, Al=0.015%~0.050%, Nb=0.03%~0.04%, V=0.06%~0.07%, Ti=0.008%~0.02%, Ni=1.00%~1.20%, Mo=0.40%~0.50%, Cr=0.80%~1.00%, Cu=0.10%~0.20%, and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements; correspondingly, preferably, the quenching temperature is 760~780°C, and the tempering temperature is 650~670°C.

[0009] The process technology principle of the present invention: The present invention is different from the traditional crack arrest steel production process. It does not use the TMCP process to refine the grains to improve the crack arrest of the steel plate, but uses the DQ+LT process and a two-step heat treatment process to accurately control the phase transformation structure after rolling to form a fine multiphase structure, eliminate structural defects and refine the grains at the same time, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the crack arrest of the extra-thick steel plate. The rolled structure is mainly lath bainite + granular bainite + M / A island, especially in the core of the extra-thick steel plate, the size and proportion of granular bainite and M / A island increase, which seriously deteriorates the toughness and crack arrest; the first step is to quench the steel plate in the two-phase zone and heat it to A c1+(10~30)℃, the rolled structure undergoes partial reverse transformation, and reversed austenite is obtained. The reversed austenite is dispersed along the original austenite grain boundaries and between the lath structures, and partial austenitization is achieved. The unaustenitized matrix structure still maintains the lath structure, and the elements such as C, Mn and Ni in the matrix structure are enriched in the reversed austenite, thereby improving the hardenability of the reversed austenite. In the subsequent water cooling process, the reversed austenite is transformed into martensite or bainite, and the unaustenitized structure with depleted C, Mn and Ni content is transformed into critical ferrite. In the second step of high temperature tempering, the carbides in the martensite / bainite formed in the first step of quenching and cooling are precipitated, and the residual austenite is decomposed. Finally, after air cooling, a multiphase structure dominated by critical ferrite + tempered martensite / bainite + fine residual austenite is obtained. The organization type of soft and hard phase matching makes the steel plate have excellent strength, toughness and crack arrest.

[0010] The outstanding features and remarkable effects of the present invention are mainly reflected in: (1) The present invention uses continuous casting billets to produce high-crack-arresting, extra-thick, ultra-high-strength ship plates with a maximum thickness of 100 mm. While ensuring product quality, the crack-arresting toughness Kca at -10°C is ≥ 8000 N / mm 3 / 2 ; (2) The present invention breaks through the limitation of the compression ratio of the traditional TMCP process for rolling extra-thick plates, refines the grains through the microstructure control technology, improves the core microstructure properties of the extra-thick steel plate, simplifies the process, reduces the alloy and production costs, and has a high yield rate; (3) The present invention can be implemented using existing equipment and process conditions in steel mills, without the need for additional investment or equipment modification, and the process is stable, easy to implement, and can be mass-produced; (4) The method of the present invention produces a new type of economical, low-carbon and environmentally friendly steel, which can also be widely used in shipbuilding, bridges, pressure vessels, construction, engineering machinery and other fields to ensure the crack-stopping ability of steel plates.
