Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of metallurgical technology, specifically to a method for producing thick-walled pipeline steel with improved resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion and enhanced toughness. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technology refers to the process of separating CO2 from industrial processes, energy use or the atmosphere and using it directly or injecting it into the formation to achieve permanent CO2 emission reduction. CCUS technology can achieve large-scale greenhouse gas emission reduction and promote the efficient use of fossil energy, and is an important carbon dioxide emission control strategy.

[0003] Since CCUS technology requires high-pressure transportation of captured carbon dioxide in a liquid dense phase, the transportation pipeline is required to have a large wall thickness. At the same time, the mechanical properties, HIC resistance (resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking) and corrosion resistance of the transportation pipeline are required to be extremely high. Therefore, the corresponding pipeline steel is required to have good low-temperature toughness, high crack arrest performance and carbon dioxide corrosion resistance.

[0004] In existing technologies, the main method to improve the carbon dioxide corrosion resistance of pipeline steel is to add a high content of chromium (Cr) to the steel raw materials. Conventional smelting, rolling, and cooling processes are mainly used in the smelting and rolling processes. However, pipeline steel with a high Cr content has an increased hardening tendency, resulting in lower toughness and plasticity of the welded joint and poor weldability after welding. This fails to meet the requirements of simultaneously possessing good low-temperature toughness, high crack arrest performance, and carbon dioxide corrosion resistance. Furthermore, existing technologies do not propose production methods for thick pipeline steel that can improve carbon dioxide corrosion resistance and HIC resistance while maintaining excellent mechanical properties. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing pipeline steel production technologies, which fail to simultaneously meet the requirements of good low-temperature toughness, high crack arrest performance, and resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion (HCC), and which lack a production method for thick-walled pipeline steel that can improve HCC resistance and HIC resistance while maintaining excellent mechanical properties, this invention provides a production method for thick-walled pipeline steel that improves HCC resistance and toughness. By controlling the parameters of each process in the smelting and rolling stages, the cleanliness of the steel throughout the entire process is controlled, and the grain size of the ladle is refined, thereby simultaneously improving the strength, low-temperature toughness, HIC resistance, and HCC resistance of thick-walled pipeline steel.

[0006] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for producing thick-walled pipeline steel with improved resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion and high toughness includes smelting and rolling processes. The smelting process sequentially includes converter, tapping, CAS treatment, LF refining, RH refining, and continuous casting. Specific measures include:

[0008] (1) The converter process adopts full argon bottom blowing to control the temperature at the converter end point ≥1640℃, C≤0.030wt.%, P<0.007wt.%, S≤0.008wt.%, and the carbon control mode at the converter end point adopts the low carbon microalloy steel mode. The converter adopts full argon bottom blowing and does not adopt the conventional bottom blowing nitrogen mode, which can ensure that the nitrogen content in the molten steel is low enough, avoid the nitrogen content in the final product steel plate being too high, thereby improving the low temperature toughness of the steel plate. The control of various indicators at the converter end point can ensure that the molten steel is low in phosphorus, low in sulfur and low in carbon, improve the cleanliness of the steel plate, and ensure the low temperature toughness and corrosion resistance of the final product steel plate.

[0009] (2) The tapping time of the tapping process is ≥4.5min. If the tapping process is interrupted, the tapping port shall be replaced immediately. It is strictly forbidden to add slag to the converter. On the one hand, this will prevent the molten steel from being over-oxidized during the tapping process, and on the other hand, it will prevent the converter slag with high phosphorus content from entering the ladle. This will achieve low phosphorus content control throughout the process and improve the toughness and carbon dioxide corrosion resistance of the final product.

[0010] (3) In the CAS processing process, 0.5-1.0 m / t of aluminum wire is fed into the CAS and the CAS argon blowing time is ≥12 min. The aluminum content of the molten steel is adjusted by feeding in aluminum wire to achieve deoxidation of the molten steel. The longer CAS argon blowing time can ensure the uniformity of the temperature and composition of the molten steel.

[0011] (4) In the LF refining process, the amount of LF top slag added is: 7-8 kg / ton of lime and 0.8-1.5 kg / ton of fluorite, which can quickly form slag during the tapping process, achieve large slag volume and high oxidizing slag, and provide good conditions for desulfurization; in the LF refining process, the ladle is blown with argon without exposing the molten steel to prevent the molten steel from absorbing oxygen and oxidizing; the total heating time of LF is ≤40 min to avoid the molten steel from absorbing nitrogen and oxygen due to the excessive heating time of LF electrodes; the requirement for molten steel to leave the LF station is S≤0.0010wt.%, and the outlet temperature is 1605-1625℃; the S in the steel grade will combine with Mn to form easily deformable MnS inclusions, which form long strip-shaped inclusions during the rolling process of steel plates, greatly deteriorating the low temperature toughness of the steel plates, and forming hydrogen traps, which are important defects in the steel plates' resistance to hydrogen-induced cracking and carbon dioxide corrosion. Limiting the LF outlet requirements can meet the ultra-low sulfur content requirements of molten steel, and at the same time, the molten steel can maintain a low superheat during the subsequent continuous casting process;

[0012] (5) In the RH refining process, the amount of calcium-aluminum wire fed is 1-2.5 m / t and the feeding speed is 100-180 m / min. During the RH refining process, the hydrogen content of the molten steel is controlled to be ≤1.5 ppm and the nitrogen content of the molten steel is controlled to be ≤40 ppm. Feeding calcium wire in RH can modify the inclusions such as sulfides in the steel, making them into spherical inclusions, which is beneficial to reduce the elongation and deformation of inclusions after rolling and reduce the harm of inclusions. Therefore, controlling the reasonable amount and feeding speed of calcium-aluminum wire, and strictly controlling the content of harmful elements hydrogen and nitrogen in the molten steel, can effectively improve the low temperature toughness and hydrogen-induced crack sensitivity of the final product steel plate.

[0013] (6) In the continuous casting process, protective nozzles are used for pouring molten steel from the ladle to the tundish, and pouring is not done in an open manner. The superheat of the tundish is controlled at 10-25℃. During the continuous casting process, the liquid level fluctuation in the crystallizer is ≤±5mm, the nitrogen increase is ≤5ppm, the casting speed fluctuation range is ≤0.1m / min, and the arc accuracy is controlled at ≤±0.1mm. The light reduction of the continuous casting machine is 3-5mm, and the reduction position is at the end of solidification. The continuous casting produces a billet. The casting speed fluctuation of the continuous casting machine and the liquid level fluctuation in the crystallizer are all unsteady conditions in the continuous casting process, which have a significant impact on the internal and surface quality of the billet. This technical solution specifies detailed processes regarding the fluctuation range of continuous casting machine speed, the fluctuation of liquid level in the crystallizer, and the setting of light reduction. It also provides comprehensive and unique production methods for aspects such as low-magnification quality of the cast billet and the arc alignment accuracy of the continuous casting machine, thereby ensuring good cleanliness of the steel and good internal quality of the cast billet. Ultimately, this improves the carbon dioxide corrosion resistance and low-temperature toughness of thick-walled pipeline steel. Since the nitrogen content in the molten steel inevitably increases during continuous casting, this invention is designed to increase nitrogen by ≤5ppm, ensuring that the nitrogen content in the molten steel remains within a low range to improve the overall mechanical properties of the final steel plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the steel rolling process sequentially includes billet heating, rough rolling, finish rolling, pre-straightening, rapid cooling, hot straightening, cooling bed cooling, and flaw detection. Specific measures include:

[0015] (a) The furnace temperature for the billet heating process is 1160-1190℃, and the heating time is 9-15 min / cm;

[0016] (b) Before the last two passes of rough rolling, the billet is rapidly cooled by high-pressure water descaling in the mill. The surface temperature of the billet after cooling is ≤1000℃. The reduction rate of the last two passes of rough rolling is ≥25%, and the final rolling temperature of rough rolling is 900-1000℃. The use of high-pressure water descaling in the mill to rapidly cool the billet in the last two passes of rough rolling can achieve the purpose of deformation penetration to the center during the rolling process, thereby improving the uniformity of the grain structure in the thickness direction of the steel plate and making the grains sufficiently refined, thereby improving the strength, toughness and carbon dioxide corrosion resistance of the steel plate.

[0017] (c) The final rolling temperature of the finishing rolling process is 850-880℃;

[0018] (d) The pre-straightening process is carried out using a 9-roll pre-straightening machine at a straightening speed of 4-6 m / s to obtain pre-straightened steel plates;

[0019] (e) The starting temperature of the rapid cooling process is 820-860℃, and rapid water cooling is adopted. During the cooling process, the edges of the straightened steel plate are shielded by 830-930mm. The ratio of water spray volume of the upper manifold to the lower manifold of the water cooling equipment is 1:1.3-1.5, the total water volume is 2800-3200L / s, and the cooling rate is 15-30℃ / s.

[0020] (f) The hot straightening process involves 1-3 passes of hot straightening;

[0021] The combination of pre-straightening, rapid cooling and hot straightening processes can achieve high strength and toughness and shape control for thick-walled pipeline steel. Combined with the smelting process, the steel plate has good resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion.

[0022] (g) The cooling process of the cooling bed adopts a walking cooling bed for 1-1.5 hours to obtain thick-walled pipeline steel plates;

[0023] (h) The flaw detection process uses ultrasonic flaw detection equipment to inspect the internal defects of the steel plate. The flaw detection method conforms to the requirements of NB / T47013.3 standard. The obtained thick-walled pipeline steel plate meets the requirements of Special Class I flaw detection. There are no delamination or inclusion defects within 300mm of the beginning and end and 100mm of the side of the thick-walled pipeline steel plate. This technical solution adopts the most stringent NB / T 47013.3 ultrasonic flaw detection standard in this technical field to perform ultrasonic flaw detection on the finished steel plate. At the same time, it specifies the special requirements for flaw detection quality within a certain range of the beginning, end and two side of the plate to ensure good internal structure of the steel plate, so as to improve the carbon dioxide corrosion resistance and toughness of the thick-walled pipeline steel.

[0024] Furthermore, the chemical composition of the billet by weight percentage is as follows: C: 0.02%-0.05%, Si: 0.20%-0.60%, Mn: 1.2%-1.40%, V: 0.030%-0.040%, Al: 0.020%-0.050%, Cr: 0.40%-0.50%, Ni: 0.10%-0.20%, Nb: 0.040%-0.055%, P≤0.0080%, S≤0.002%, N≤0.0030%, H≤0.0002%, 1.7%≤Mn+Ni+Cr≤2.0%, Nb+V+Al≤0.140%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0025] Furthermore, the converter process uses scrap steel as the main raw material. Nickel plates and copper plates are added to the converter along with the scrap steel for smelting. Before tapping the steel, aluminum blocks, metallic manganese, ferrosilicon, ferrochrome, and ferroniobium are added to the converter in sequence.

[0026] Furthermore, in the converter process of step (1), the oxygen lance position is immediately lowered to the carbon removal lance position after the TSC measurement is completed, ensuring that the low lance position time is 1-2 minutes. This can quickly reduce the carbon in the molten steel to a lower range, while ensuring that the oxygen content in the molten steel is low, so as not to cause over-oxidation of the molten steel, thereby improving the quality of the molten steel.

[0027] Furthermore, in step (6), after continuous casting, at least 6 meters of billet head and at least 4 meters of billet tail are removed from the billet head. The resulting low-magnification sample of the billet has a center segregation of no more than Class C 1.5 and a center porosity of ≤0.5 grade, with no obvious inclusions or other internal crack defects.

[0028] Furthermore, the total rolling compression ratio of the roughing and finishing rolling processes is 7.5-8.

[0029] Furthermore, the thickness of the steel plate for the large-walled pipeline is 30-40mm, Rt0.5≥500MPa, Rt1.5≥510MPa, Rm≥600MPa, impact energy value at -40℃≥300J, shear area of ​​impact test at -40℃≥80%, and shear area of ​​DWTT at -20℃≥90%.

[0030] Furthermore, under conditions of 80℃, CO2 partial pressure of 2MPa, and flow rate of 2.0m / s, the thick-walled pipeline steel plate exhibits a carbon dioxide corrosion rate of ≤0.05mm / a; and HIC resistance properties of CLR≤15%, CTR≤5%, and CSR≤2%.

[0031] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0032] The present invention provides a method for producing thick-walled pipeline steel with improved resistance to carbon dioxide corrosion and high toughness. By controlling the parameters of each process in the smelting and rolling stages, the method achieves full-process steel cleanliness control and ladle grain refinement, thereby simultaneously improving the strength, low-temperature toughness, HIC resistance, and carbon dioxide corrosion resistance of the thick-walled pipeline steel. The resulting thick-walled pipeline steel has a thickness of 30-40 mm, Rt0.5≥500MPa, Rt1.5≥510MPa, Rm≥600MPa, impact energy value at -40℃≥300J, impact shear area at -40℃≥80%, and DWTT shear area at -20℃≥90%. Under conditions of 80℃, CO2 partial pressure of 2MPa, and flow rate of 2.0m / s, the carbon dioxide corrosion rate is ≤0.05mm / a; the HIC resistance is CLR≤15%, CTR≤5%, and CSR≤2%.
