Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal material production, and in particular to a high-plasticity, toughness, and fatigue-resistant X60-grade catenary riser steel plate and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the development of offshore oil and gas projects, the riser system has become a key equipment connecting the offshore platform with submarine oil and gas drilling and production. The steel catenary riser is a type of riser widely used in deepwater oil and gas development projects. It has great adaptability to the movement of the floating body and represents the technical development direction of the deep-sea platform riser. The high-pressure and low-temperature environment of the deep sea requires the steel catenary riser to have a good match between anti-crushing and high-strength and toughness. In addition, except for the bottom of the platform and the submarine wellhead, there is no fixed support in other parts of the riser. Therefore, the influence of the floating body movement of the offshore platform and the vortex-induced vibration in the deep-water high-velocity sea area on the steel catenary riser cannot be ignored. The floating body movement of the platform will cause overall traction and stretching in the longitudinal direction of the steel pipe, which requires the steel catenary riser to have excellent plasticity; and the vortex-induced vibration will cause periodic reciprocating motion to the steel pipe, which requires the steel catenary riser to have excellent fatigue resistance.

All performances meet the technical requirements for manufacturing X60-level deep-water steel catenary risers. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] Figure 1 It is a schematic diagram of a typical metallographic structure of the embodiment of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0033] The present invention discloses a high-plasticity, toughness and fatigue-resistant X60 grade catenary riser steel plate. The chemical composition of the steel plate is as follows by weight: C: 0.060%-0.080%, Si: 0.10%-0.20%, Mn: 1.30%-1.45%, P≤0.015%, S≤0.0015%, Cr: 0.10%-0.21%, Nb: 0.010%-0.030%, Ti: 0.010%-0.025%, Al: 0.026%-0.050%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0034] The composition design reasons of the present invention are as follows:

[0035] C: The most basic and economical strengthening element in steel. Controlling the appropriate C content can not only ensure the strength of the steel plate, but also prevent the central segregation of the steel plate and improve the corrosion resistance of the steel. Therefore, the present invention controls the C content in the range of 0.060% to 0.080%.

[0036] Si: can improve the strength of steel plates through solid solution strengthening, and has the effect of improving the hardenability and corrosion resistance of the material. Among all alloying elements, Si is abundant in resources and relatively inexpensive. Adding an appropriate amount of Si to steel can also inhibit the precipitation of cementite. At the same time, Si will be enriched around carbides, hindering the growth of carbides, causing carbides to become small and dispersed in the matrix, which is beneficial to improving strength. However, a higher content of Si tends to graphitize steel, making the steel brittle, reducing plasticity, and worsening toughness. Therefore, the Si content of the present invention is controlled at 0.10% to 0.20%.

[0037] Mn: It is a common strengthening element in steel and can be dissolved in the Fe matrix in large quantities to improve strength through solid solution strengthening. Manganese can reduce the critical cooling rate of steel, greatly improve hardenability, and significantly reduce the brittle transition temperature of steel, improve impact toughness, and refine the microstructure of steel. It is an important strengthening and toughening element. However, if the Mn content is too high, it is easy to form segregation in the steel, which has an adverse effect on the plasticity, toughness and corrosion resistance of the steel. Therefore, the present invention controls the Mn range to 1.30% to 1.45%.

[0038] Cr: It can improve the hardenability of steel, enhance the cooling effect of thick-walled steel plates, improve the uniformity of the structure in the thickness direction, and compensate for the strength loss of the steel plates due to low C and low Mn. The price of Cr alloys is not high. It can not only replace precious metal elements such as Mo and V that have a strengthening effect, thereby reducing the alloy cost, but also has a less strong inhibitory effect on ferrite transformation than Mo under conditions of similar content. It can more stably control the formation of polygonal ferrite in the steel plates. However, a higher Cr content will make the hardenability of steel too high, form excessive hardenable structure, and deteriorate the toughness and fatigue resistance of the steel plates. Therefore, the present invention controls the Cr range to 0.10% to 0.21%.

[0039] Nb: A grain-refining element. Undissolved Nb carbon and nitride particles are distributed on the austenite grain boundaries during heating, hindering austenite grain growth during heating. This effectively delays the recrystallization of deformed austenite, prevents austenite grain growth, refines ferrite grains, improves the impact toughness of steel, and lowers its brittle transition temperature. Therefore, the present invention controls the Nb content within a range of 0.010% to 0.030%.

[0040] Ti: is a strong nitrogen-fixing element. Adding a trace amount of Ti to Al-containing steel can significantly reduce the corrosion rate. Ti can preferentially combine with nitrogen in the steel, reducing the amount of AlN in the steel and improving weldability. However, when the Ti content exceeds a certain value, the TiN particles will coarsen, causing the low-temperature toughness to deteriorate. Therefore, the Ti content in the present invention is selected to be 0.010% to 0.025%.

[0041] Al: Usually used as a deoxidizer in steel. If the aluminum content is too low, deoxidation is insufficient and easily oxidized elements such as Ti will form oxides. If the aluminum content is too high, aluminum oxide inclusions will increase, reducing the cleanliness of the steel. Therefore, the present invention controls the range of Al to 0.026% to 0.050%.

[0042] P and S: As impurity elements, phosphorus and sulfur significantly deteriorate the toughness, plasticity and weldability of steel, so their content in steel should be reduced as much as possible. Therefore, the present invention requires that the P and S contents be controlled within the range of P≤0.015% and S≤0.0015%, respectively.

[0043] A production method for high-ductility, toughness, and fatigue-resistant X60-grade catenary riser steel plate includes smelting, continuous casting, heating, rolling, and accelerated cooling. The method aims to achieve ideal internal quality, reduce harmful elements and impurities, and effectively improve the steel plate's microstructure and grain size. Appropriate processes are used to refine and control the microstructure, ensuring the steel plate's excellent combined strength, toughness, and fatigue resistance. The method comprises:

[0044] (1) Smelting: The steelmaking process route of converter smelting and refining outside the furnace is adopted. The RH vacuum treatment time is ≥25min. After the RH treatment, Ca treatment and micro-titanium treatment are carried out. The net cycle time is ≥10min. This can effectively remove the gas in the molten steel and change the morphology of non-metallic inclusions. At the same time, impurities such as inclusions can be fully floated to improve the cleanliness of the molten steel.

[0045] (2) Continuous casting: During the continuous casting process, the superheat is controlled at 20-45°C to maintain the fluidity of the molten steel, continue to promote the floating of inclusions, and effectively control the size and number of inclusions in the steel. Dynamic light reduction and electromagnetic stirring at the end of solidification of the billet are used, with a light reduction of 5-8 mm. The continuous casting billet drawing speed is controlled at 0.6-1.1 m / min and kept constant. This can reduce center segregation. By controlling inclusions and center segregation, the internal quality of the slab is improved, and the toughness and fatigue resistance of the steel are enhanced.

[0046] (3) Heating: A multi-stage stepped temperature heating method is adopted, with the high-temperature heating section at 1210-1250°C, the soaking section at 1180-1220°C, the high-temperature heating section + soaking section time not less than 120 min, and the soaking section time not less than 50 min. The design of the heating process is mainly to ensure the solid solution of Mn, Cr, and Nb elements so that they can play a role in subsequent rolling and accelerated cooling, and at the same time, effectively control the growth of austenite grains; the heating time can ensure the heating effect and temperature uniformity.

[0047] (4) Rolling: Steel plates are produced by two-stage rolling in medium and thick plate mills. The single-pass reduction rate of the last two passes in the rough rolling stage is ≥14%, so that the original austenite grains are fully broken and refined; the thickness of the intermediate billet in the finishing rolling stage is 2.8~3.5t, where t is the thickness of the finished steel plate, t is 25~40mm, the starting rolling temperature in the finishing rolling stage is 890~920℃, the single-pass reduction rate of the first three passes in the finishing rolling is ≥13%, and the final rolling temperature is 820~850℃. The design of the finishing rolling process can ensure that the austenite is fully flattened and deformed and accumulates deformation energy, and on the other hand, it can promote the induction precipitation of fine Nb precipitates, pinning grain boundaries and dislocations, increasing nucleation sites, and further refining grains.

[0048] (5) Accelerated cooling: After the steel plate is rolled, it is air-cooled to hold the temperature. The holding time is aimed at ensuring that the starting cooling temperature of the steel plate for water-cooled accelerated cooling is 800-820°C. The cooling rate of water-cooled accelerated cooling is 10-18°C / s, and the final cooling temperature is 380-440°C. The microstructure control target obtained by air-cooled holding and water-cooled accelerated cooling is polygonal ferrite + acicular ferrite, where the volume fraction of polygonal ferrite is 60%-80%, and the average grain size is ≤10μm. Compared with the existing X60 grade pipeline steel ferrite + pearlite structure, the fine-grained polygonal ferrite in the final structure can play a good role in coordinating strain and improve the plasticity of the steel. It can effectively cope with the traction and stretching of steel pipes caused by the movement of floating bodies; and its internal dislocation density is not high, which can reduce the stress concentration caused by the periodic reciprocating deformation of the material, effectively resist fatigue cracking, and at the same time effectively absorb the energy that continues to expand after the crack starts, hinder the further expansion of the crack, and improve the crack arrest performance; the movable dislocation slip in the acicular ferrite and the irregular staggered distribution of acicular ferrite laths can not only improve the strength of the steel plate, but also, together with the polygonal ferrite, have a strong hindering effect on the propagation of fatigue cracks, causing fatigue cracks to frequently turn, slowing down the fatigue crack growth rate, and thereby improving the fatigue resistance of the steel plate.

[0049] Furthermore, the total content of alloying elements in the present invention does not exceed 2%, the transverse yield strength of the steel plate is 415-475MPa, the tensile strength is 520-600MPa, and the strength reaches X60 level; the steel plate has an impact energy of ≥350J at -30℃, CTOD ≥1.2mm at -10℃, and 10 7 The cyclic fatigue strength is ≥340MPa, the longitudinal elongation of the steel plate is 57% to 68%, and the uniform elongation is ≥13%.
