Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of medium and thick plates, and relates to a particularly thick, high-strength, high-toughness, and high-heat-input welding steel plate and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the increasing size and strength of components, the use of low-alloy, high-strength, extra-thick structural steel plates is becoming increasingly widespread, with thicknesses even exceeding 100mm. At the same time, the requirements for their strength, toughness, and weldability are becoming increasingly stringent. In order to improve construction efficiency and reduce costs, downstream companies using structural steel currently generally adopt high-heat input welding methods such as multi-wire submerged arc welding, multi-wire gas shielded welding, gas-electric vertical welding, and electroslag welding. Generally, welding with a heat input greater than 50KJ / cm is referred to as high-heat input welding. However, when the welding heat input of traditional steel plates is greater than 50KJ / cm, the mechanical properties of the welded joints will be severely reduced due to the excessive coarsening of the weld heat-affected zone structure, and may even be lower than the marked requirements of the parent steel plate.

[0003] Reports indicate that Japan's JFE has developed high-energy-input steel plate with a thickness of 40-100mm and a grade of EH36, achieving a welding heat input of 600kJ / cm. A domestic company has also developed 80mm-thick EH40 high-energy-input steel. However, reports of high-energy-input steel plates with a thickness of 120mm or greater and a yield strength of 420MPa or greater are rare. To meet market demands, such as the thicker offshore steel used in deepwater jackets for extreme environments, there is an urgent need to develop high-energy-input, high-strength, high-toughness, and extra-thick steel plates. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a super-thick, high-strength, high-toughness, high-wire energy welding steel plate and a production method thereof. The obtained steel plate has a thickness of 120 to 150 mm and a maximum welding wire energy of up to 200 kJ / cm.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A steel plate for ultra-thick, high-strength, toughness and high-heat-input welding, whose chemical composition and mass percentage are as follows: C: 0.05%-0.08%, Si: 0.1%-0.2%, Mn: 1.5%-1.6%, Ni: 1.2%-1.5%, Mo: 0.08%-0.15%, Nb: 0.015%-0.025%, V: 0.03%-0.05%, Ti: 0.008%-0.015%, Mg: 0.0002%-0.0007%, Ca: 0.0005%-0.002%, P≤0.008%, S≤0.003%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurity elements.

[0006] Furthermore, the thickness of the steel plate is 120-150 mm, and the maximum welding line energy is 200 KJ / cm.

[0007] Furthermore, the steel plate has a yield strength of ≥420 MPa, a yield strength ratio of ≤0.8, an impact energy at -60°C of ≥100 J, and a fracture toughness CTOD characteristic value of -60°C >0.3 mm; when welded with a line energy of 200 KJ / cm, the impact energy at -60°C of the heat-affected zone is ≥42 J.

[0008] The present invention also provides a production method for the above-mentioned ultra-thick, high-strength and toughness steel plate for high-heat input welding, which includes LF refining, VD vacuum treatment, die casting, heating, rolling and heat treatment steps.

[0009] LF refining process: Aluminum wire is added for deoxidation at the beginning of refining, followed by silicon manganese for deep deoxidation, with an oxygen content of 40-60ppm, magnesium wire is added, argon is stirred for 1-3 minutes, titanium iron is added, and calcium wire is added before vacuum; Heat treatment process: quenching + tempering process, quenching heating temperature 900±10℃, holding temperature 2~2.5min / mm, water cooling; tempering heating temperature 620~650℃, holding temperature 3~4min / mm, air cooling.

[0010] Furthermore, in the LF refining process, the amount of aluminum wire added is 50 to 100 meters, and the amount of magnesium wire added is 1 to 3 kg.

[0011] Furthermore, in the VD vacuum treatment process, the vacuum degree is less than 66pa, the vacuum holding time is 25 to 30 minutes, and the soft blowing after vacuum is 8 to 10 minutes.

[0012] Furthermore, in the die casting process, gas protection casting is used throughout the entire process, and the superheat of the molten steel is controlled at 35-45°C.

[0013] Furthermore, in the heating process, the charging temperature of the furnace is not higher than 600°C, the temperature is raised to 700±10°C and kept warm for 2.0 to 3.0 hours, then the temperature is raised to 930±10°C at a rate of ≤120°C / h and kept warm for 2.5 to 3.5 hours, and then the temperature is raised to 1240 to 1260°C and kept warm for 15 to 18 hours.

[0014] Furthermore, the rolling process adopts a temperature-controlled rolling process. The rolling temperature in stage I is 950-1200°C, the single-pass reduction is 10-20%, and the cumulative reduction rate is 30-60%. The steel is then aired and high-pressure water is used to remove the iron oxide scale on the surface of the steel plate. The rolling start temperature in stage II is 850-880°C, and the cumulative reduction rate is 30-50%.

[0015] The functions and contents of the key components in the steel plate of the present invention are described in detail as follows: C: is an element required to ensure the strength of the steel plate. However, in order to make the steel plate have good welding performance and good low-temperature impact toughness, the carbon content in the steel must be reduced. This is because carbon is a strong solid solution strengthening element and can significantly improve the strength of the steel plate, but at the same time it reduces the toughness and plasticity of the steel and deteriorates the welding performance of the steel plate. Therefore, in the present invention, the carbon content is controlled at 0.05% to 0.08%.

[0016] Mn: It is a major alloy strengthening element, which improves the strength and toughness of steel in the form of solid solution strengthening. It is inexpensive and can reduce the production cost of steel plates. The reasonable selection range of Mn in the present invention is 1.5% to 1.6%.

[0017] Ni: While slightly improving both the strength and ductility of the steel plate, it significantly increases low-temperature impact toughness. This is because Ni forms only a solid solution in the steel, increasing the lattice slip planes during plastic deformation, thereby increasing the material's plasticity. Ni also improves the steel's toughness at low temperatures, lowering the ductile-brittle transition temperature. The Ni content in this invention is preferably between 1.2% and 1.5%.

[0018] Mo: It significantly improves the strength, plasticity and low-temperature impact toughness of the steel plate. This is because when Mo is dissolved in ferrite and austenite, it can shift the C curve of the steel to the right, thereby significantly improving the hardenability of the steel. The Mo content of the present invention is selected to be within the range of 0.08% to 0.15%.

[0019] Nb: Niobium increases the yield strength of steel, improves the weldability of steel, refines grains, and increases the austenite recrystallization temperature. The Nb content of the present invention is selected to be in the range of 0.015% to 0.025%.

[0020] V: One of the primary functions of vanadium in steel is to increase its strength. This is primarily achieved by refining the steel's structure and grain size. Vanadium inhibits the deformation and recrystallization of austenite and prevents grain growth, thereby increasing the steel's yield strength and tensile strength. The V content in this invention is preferably within the range of 0.03% to 0.05%.

[0021] Ti, Ca, and Mg: Combined with O, they form fine, dispersed oxides. The pinning effect of these fine oxides significantly inhibits grain coarsening in the heat-affected zone (HAZ) under high-heat-input welding conditions, improving the low-temperature toughness of the HAZ. Furthermore, fine MgO particles can serve as nucleation sites for TiN, refining the TiN particles and mitigating the cracking effect of large TiN particles on the substrate.

[0022] P and S: In general, they are harmful elements in steel, which will increase the brittleness of steel. P will deteriorate the welding performance of steel and reduce plasticity. S will reduce the ductility and toughness of steel and cause cracks during rolling. Therefore, the content of P and S in steel should be reduced as much as possible.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are as follows: the addition of Ni and Mo elements to the chemical composition ensures uniform low-temperature impact toughness and performance at -60°C for steel layers of varying thickness. A small amount of aluminum wire is added early in LF refining for rapid deoxidation, ensuring the aluminum content in the steel is less than 0.007%. Silicon and manganese are then added for deep deoxidation, laying the foundation for metallurgy with oxides such as Mg and Ti. The addition of magnesium wire prior to ferrotitanium allows for fine MgO particles to serve as nucleation sites for TiN, thereby refining the TiN particles.

[0024] The thickness of the steel plate obtained by the present invention is 120 to 150 mm, and the maximum welding line energy can reach 200 kJ / cm; the yield strength of the steel plate is ≥420 MPa, the yield strength ratio is ≤0.8, the impact energy at -60°C is ≥100 J, and the -60°C fracture toughness CTOD characteristic value is greater than 0.3 mm; when welding with a line energy of 200 kJ / cm, the -60°C impact energy of the heat-affected zone is ≥42 J.
