Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of steel industry, and in particular to low carbon steel. BACKGROUND

[0002] Low carbon alloy steel with yield strength of 350 MPa or more is widely used in bridge, energy, building, ship and other engineering structures due to its small amount of alloy addition, simple production process and large market demand. Low carbon alloy steel is often treated by aging method. The steel is rapidly cooled from high temperature to room temperature to obtain a single-phase supersaturated solid solution. The organization (mainly martensite and residual austenite) and internal stress are unstable. At room temperature or a certain high temperature, the solute atoms in the supersaturated solid solution still have a certain diffusion capacity. With the extension of time, the solute elements will be desolvated (or precipitated), and the system will change from a non-equilibrium state to an equilibrium state, thereby changing the performance of the steel, i.e. aging. The conditions for artificial aging must be met: the solute elements in the solid solution should have a certain solid solubility and decrease with the decrease of temperature; the solute elements are in a supersaturated state after high-temperature solid solution treatment; at a lower temperature, the solute atoms still have a certain diffusion capacity. After artificial aging, the steel often shows the phenomenon of increased strength and hardness and decreased plasticity and toughness. This often leads to poor strength-toughness matching of low carbon alloy steel treated by aging, and the further expansion of the application range is limited. SUMMARY

Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0042] Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the terms used in the present application are to be understood as having the meanings commonly used in the art. Therefore, unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. If there is a conflict between the present description and the specification, the present description takes precedence.

[0043] Unless otherwise specifically indicated, the various raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in the present application can be purchased from the market or can be prepared by existing methods.

[0044] The existing low-carbon alloy steel has the technical problem of poor matching of strength and toughness.

[0045] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application are to solve the above technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0046] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a preparation method of a low-carbon alloy steel, and the method comprises the following steps:

[0047] S1: obtaining molten steel by converter steelmaking, and adding aluminum to the molten steel for deoxidation;

[0048] S2: introducing the deoxidized molten steel into an LF furnace, blowing argon for refining, and obtaining refined molten steel;

[0049] S3: adding manganese iron deoxidizer to the refined molten steel for deoxidation, and performing vanadium-nitrogen alloying;

[0050] S4: vacuum treatment of the alloyed molten steel, then casting, and preparing into a billet;

[0051] S5: rough rolling, finish rolling and coiling of the billet to obtain a steel coil;

[0052] S6: uncoiling and straightening after the steel coil is cooled, and cutting into a preformed steel plate;

[0053] S7: solid solution treatment of the preformed steel plate, the temperature of the solid solution treatment is 900-930℃, the preformed steel plate is cooled after the solid solution treatment, and the cooling rate is 50-80℃ / s, to obtain a solid-solution-treated steel plate;

[0054] S8: aging treatment of the solid-solutioned steel plate at 60-80 DEG C for 3-12h, and then natural cooling to obtain the low-carbon alloy steel.

[0055] The steps S1 and S3 introduce Al, Mn, V, N and other elements into the low-carbon alloy steel.

[0056] Al is a common deoxidizer in steel, which fixes free nitrogen in steel, increases grain coarsening temperature of the steel, reduces brittle transition temperature of the steel, prevents strain and temperature aging, and improves impact toughness of the steel.

[0057] Mn has solid solution strengthening effect, which can increase hardness and strength of the steel without affecting ductility of the steel. Mn is also a forming element of austenite, and after a large amount of Mn is added, residual austenite structure can be obtained, quenching temperature and hardness of the steel are reduced, and quenching deformation is reduced.

[0058] V produces fine-grain strengthening and significant precipitation strengthening effect in the steel, V4C3 precipitates are produced, carbon and nitrogen solubility in ferrite and diffusion speed of carbon and nitrogen atoms are affected, and thus aging strengthening effect is indirectly affected.

[0059] N is similar to carbon in properties, and is a basic element causing aging. N combines with Al to form AlN, and can be completely melted into austenite at a high temperature. AlN is precipitated in the aging process, and has strengthening effect.

[0060] The step S3 of the application adopts low-carbon ferromanganese and vanadium-nitrogen alloying, which can reduce end-point molten steel over-oxidation phenomenon, and reduce oxide inclusion content and grade in the steel.

[0061] The solid solution treatment is carried out under the conditions in the step S8, a faster cooling rate is used, and supersaturated alpha solid solution is easily obtained, stress field, dislocation zone and other lattice defects are produced, metastable phase epsilon carbide and nitride are precipitated from the inhomogeneous solid solution through aging treatment, the precipitated metastable phase and the parent phase solid solution maintain coherent relationship, and the movement of dislocations is hindered, and thus the strength is improved.

[0062] The low-carbon alloy steel provided by the application has low carbon content and appropriate V and N strengthening elements, and Al and Mn elements are introduced, which can effectively improve comprehensive performance of the steel and aging treatment effect, and is beneficial to guarantee low-temperature toughness of the steel; through solid solution treatment and aging heat treatment process, precipitation strengthening principle of the low-carbon steel is fully utilized, carbides in the low-carbon steel are precipitated by keeping at a low temperature, the strength of the low-carbon alloy steel is effectively improved, excellent low-temperature toughness of the low-carbon alloy steel is ensured, and the application range of the low-carbon alloy steel can be expanded.

[0063] In addition, the process parameters of the application are easy to control, economic benefits are high, and the application is suitable for large-scale production.

[0064] In some embodiments of the present application, the deoxidation and alloying are performed when the tapping progress of the LF furnace is 1 / 3, and the tapping progress is completed before 2 / 3.

[0065] The beneficial effect of the deoxidation and alloying performed in the above stage is that the deoxidation can effectively improve the purity of the molten steel, reduce the number of inclusions, and change the distribution state thereof, and through the addition of vanadium-nitrogen alloy, on the one hand, the liquidus temperature of the molten steel is effectively reduced, and on the other hand, the strength of the steel is improved.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the temperature of the tapping of the LF furnace is not lower than 1680℃; and / or,

[0067] The time of the tapping of the LF furnace is 2.5-6 min.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the billet is heated to 1200-1260℃ before rough rolling; and / or,

[0069] The heating rate is 9-15 min / cm.

[0070] The beneficial effect of the heating of the billet to 1200-1260℃ before rough rolling is that the raw material is usually heated to the austenite single-phase solid solution temperature range, and has a high temperature and sufficient time to homogenize the structure and dissolve carbides, so as to obtain a metal structure with high plasticity, low deformation resistance, and good workability.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present application, the rough rolling opening temperature is 1060-1180℃; and / or,

[0072] The rough rolling first pass reduction is greater than 15%; and / or,

[0073] The rough rolling process steel plate outlet thickness is 3.5-10.5 times the thickness of the low-carbon alloy steel.

[0074] The first pass reduction of the rough rolling is large, which is beneficial to eliminate or reduce the banded structure.

[0075] In some embodiments of the present application, the cumulative reduction of the finish rolling is not less than 70%; and / or,

[0076] The final pass cumulative reduction is not less than 40%; and / or,

[0077] The finish rolling final rolling temperature is 860-890℃.

[0078] In some embodiments of the present application, the coiling temperature is 560-600℃.

[0079] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application provide a low-carbon alloy steel, which is prepared by the low-carbon alloy steel of any one of the first aspect.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, the low-carbon alloy steel comprises the following components in mass percentage:

[0081] C: 0-0.03%,

[0082] Si: 0-0.2%,

[0083] Mn: 0.80%-2.00%,

[0084] P: 0-0.008%,

[0085] S: 0-0.003%,

[0086] N: 0-0.03%,

[0087] Al: 0-0.035%,

[0088] V: 0-0.3%.

[0089] The element C is one of the indispensable elements in steel materials, and the content of C in steel largely determines the performance of the material. In the solid solution stage, part of the carbon element in the steel will be dissolved into the matrix of the steel to play a solid solution strengthening role; part of the carbon will form carbides with other alloying elements in the steel. In the aging process, the matrix of the martensite will disperse and precipitate carbides, and the increase of the content of carbides will cause the secondary hardening of the material. When the carbon content exceeds a certain range, the aging effect will decrease. Therefore, the carbon content is in the above range.

[0090] The element Si is generally brought in from scrap steel and pig iron raw materials during smelting. The increase of the silicon content in the steel can improve the strength, and the Si element can also be dissolved in the ε carbide, delay the transformation of the ε carbide into θ carbide, promote the formation of carbides, and improve the stability. However, at the same time, it will lead to a decrease in plasticity and toughness. Therefore, the content of silicon element should not be too high.

[0091] The element Mn has a solid solution strengthening effect, which can improve the hardness and strength of the steel without affecting the ductility of the steel. Mn is also an austenite forming element, and after adding a large amount of Mn, residual austenite structure can be obtained, which can reduce the quenching temperature and hardness of the steel, and reduce the quenching deformation. However, the higher the manganese content, the more serious the overheating sensitivity and the tendency of temper brittleness of the steel. Therefore, the above range is more appropriate.

[0092] V produces fine-grain strengthening and significant precipitation strengthening in steel, produces V4C3 precipitation, and affects the solubility of carbon and nitrogen in ferrite and the diffusion speed of carbon and nitrogen atoms, thereby indirectly affecting the aging strengthening effect.

[0093] Al is a common deoxidizer in steel, which can fix free nitrogen in steel, increase grain coarsening temperature of steel, reduce brittle transition temperature of steel, prevent strain and temperature aging, and improve impact toughness of steel.

[0094] N is similar to carbon in properties and is a basic element causing aging. N combines with Al to form AlN, which can be completely melted into austenite at a high temperature. AlN is precipitated during aging process to achieve strengthening effect.

[0095] P and S are harmful impurity elements in steel. P can greatly increase strength, but easily forms segregation in steel to reduce toughness and welding performance of steel. S easily forms plastic sulfide to seriously anisotropy of steel, which deteriorates impact toughness and processing performance of steel. Therefore, the content of P, S and other impurity elements in steel should be strictly controlled and should not exceed the above range.

[0096] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the components of the low-carbon alloy steel include but are not limited to the elements listed above, and in addition to the majority of Fe, other unavoidable trace impurities can also be included.

[0097] In some embodiments of the present application, the low-carbon alloy steel has a room temperature yield strength of 480 MPa or more, a tensile strength of 550-675 MPa, an elongation of 18% or more, and a low-temperature impact toughness of 80 J or more at -20°C.

[0098] The present application will be further described in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present application and are not used to limit the scope of the present application. The experimental methods not specified in the following examples are generally determined according to national standards. If there is no corresponding national standard, the general international standard, conventional conditions, or the conditions suggested by the manufacturer are used.

[0138] Mechanical property tests were performed on Examples 1-6, and the results are shown in Table 4.

[0139] (1) Tensile property test: under room temperature conditions, transverse samples were taken from the 1 / 4 thickness of the steel plate, and the yield strength ReL, tensile strength Rm, and elongation A of the steel plate were measured according to GB / T228.1 “Metallic materials-Tensile testing-Part 1: Method of test at room temperature”.
