Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of steel production, and in particular to a high-temperature and high-pressure bolt steel service performance control method matched with an induction quenching and tempering process. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the petrochemical industry, large-scale, diversification and complication have become the main trend. In the fields of oil pipelines, steam pipelines and oil extraction platforms, high-temperature, high-pressure, flammable, explosive and toxic corrosive materials are used for storage and transportation. The material is used in an environment with a service temperature higher than 550 DEG C and a service pressure greater than 45 Mpa. As a safety core component, the flange bolt joint plays a significant role in safety support. Therefore, the bolt material strength is required to be greater than 800 Mpa, and the material specification is required to be greater than 65 mm. The performance requirements are harsh. At the same time, the induction quenching and tempering process replaces the traditional heating furnace heat treatment route. The quenching austenitizing and tempering holding time are shortened from 2-3 hours to a few seconds, thereby meeting the requirements of the fastener industry for green and low-carbon development.

[0003] However, after the induction quenching and tempering process is used to replace the traditional quenching and tempering heat treatment process in the prior art, the precipitation conditions of Mo, V and Cr carbide and carbonitride particles supporting high-temperature service performance are not met, thereby causing low high-temperature performance of the bolt material and unstable cross-section performance, and further causing poor long-term high-temperature service performance of the bolt material.

[0033] Figure 1A flowchart of a high-temperature high-pressure bolt steel service performance control method matched with an induction quenching and tempering process is provided for an embodiment of the present application.

[0034] See Figure 1 The present application provides a high-temperature high-pressure bolt steel service performance control method matched with an induction quenching and tempering process, which comprises the following steps:

[0035] S1, obtaining a casting blank with a set chemical composition; the set chemical composition includes, in terms of mass fraction, C: 0.36% to 0.47%, N: 0.0045% to 0.0105%, V: 0.25% to 0.35%, and Ti: 0.075% to 0.15%;

[0036] The positive effect of controlling the content of C to be 0.36% to 0.47% is that the carbon element dissolved in the steel improves the hardenability of the steel and increases the strength of the steel matrix; the V and Ti elements added to the steel for strengthening and refining the grains need to be matched with the carbon element to precipitate VC, VCN and TiC particles. If the content of carbon is lower than 0.36%, the strength of the fastener produced will be low, and the added V and Ti elements will not be beneficial to precipitation; if the content of carbon is higher than 0.47%, the toughness and plasticity of the produced fastener cannot meet the requirements. Exemplarily, the content of C can be 0.36%, 0.38%, 0.40%, 0.42%, 0.44%, 0.46%, 0.47%, etc.

[0037] The positive effect of controlling the content of N to be 0.0045% to 0.0105% is that the nitrogen element is generally a harmful element in steel, which aggravates the work hardening effect of the steel and reduces the toughness and plasticity of the material. A certain content of nitrogen element cooperates with the carbon element, which is more beneficial to the precipitation of V and Ti elements and improves the high-temperature performance. If the content of nitrogen is lower than 0.0055%, the added V and Ti cannot be fully precipitated, which cannot achieve the best performance; if the content is higher than 0.0105%, the toughness and plasticity of the steel and the processing performance are poor, which cannot meet the performance requirements. Exemplarily, the content of N can be 0.0045%, 0.0055%, 0.0060%, 0.0070%, 0.0080%, 0.0090%, 0.010%, 0.0105%, etc.

[0038] The positive effect of controlling the content of V to be 0.25% to 0.35%: the vanadium element combines with carbon and nitrogen to precipitate VC, VN and VCN particles to play a role of high temperature strengthening, the precipitation temperature interval is closely related to the content of vanadium, carbon and nitrogen, which is beneficial to the optimization design of element content to realize the industrial production control. If the content of vanadium is lower than 0.25%, the high temperature creep performance of the material will be low; if the content of vanadium is higher than 0.35%, the high temperature thermal plasticity of the material will be greatly reduced, which will lead to serious cracks of the casting blank, in addition, the material is not economical. Exemplarily, the content of V can be 0.25%, 0.27%, 0.29%, 0.30%, 0.32%, 0.34%, 0.35% and the like.

[0039] The positive effect of controlling the content of Ti to be 0.075% to 0.15%: the titanium element combines with C, N and other elements to form TiN, TiC and TiCN precipitates, which plays a role of strengthening, wear resistance and improving high temperature creep performance. Titanium is relatively cheap, but it is difficult to control in industrial production. The content of titanium cooperates with the vanadium element in the steel to match the induction heat treatment process, so as to realize the high high temperature performance of the material. If the content is lower than 0.075%, the high temperature creep performance cannot be supported; if the content is higher than 0.15%, large size TiN particles of inclusion level (micron level) will be precipitated, which will greatly reduce the toughness and plasticity of the material, affecting the forming of the material. Exemplarily, the content of Ti can be 0.075%, 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.10%, 0.11%, 0.13%, 0.15% and the like.

[0040] In some embodiments, the set chemical composition satisfies the following relationship:

[0041] 2.0≤1-lg[(C 2 +100N) / (V+100Ti)]≤2.4

[0042] In the formula, [C] represents the content of C in front of the numerical value, [N] represents the content of N in front of the numerical value, [V] represents the content of V in front of the numerical value, and [Ti] represents the content of Ti in front of the numerical value.

[0043] In the production process, the content of C, N, V and Ti in the steel is accurately controlled to satisfy the relationship, which is beneficial to the precipitation of nano-sized small size V and Ti particles, and at the same time avoids high solid solution proportion of V and Ti particles. Exemplarily, the value of 1-ln[([C] 2 +[N] 2 ) / ([V]+[Ti])] can be 2.0, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and the like.

[0044] In some embodiments, the set chemical composition further comprises, in mass fraction, Si: 0.2%-0.3%, Mn: 0.6%-0.65%, Cr: 0.8%-1.2%, Mo: 0.5%-0.65%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0045] S2, obtaining a heating temperature of the casting blank based on the set chemical composition and a quantitative relationship between the casting blank large-size precipitated particle solution temperature;

[0046] In some embodiments, the heating temperature satisfies the following relationship:

[0047] T≥1270×{1.05-lg[([C]+[N]) / ([V]+[Ti])]}

[0048] In the formula, T represents the heating temperature, [C] represents the content of C, [N] represents the content of N, [V] represents the content of V, and [Ti] represents the content of Ti.

[0049] In the embodiments of the present application, since the sizes of V and Ti precipitated from the casting blank are 100-200 nm or even larger during continuous casting, the V and Ti cannot play a strengthening role; however, if the heating temperature of the casting blank is too high, there are a series of problems such as burning and cracking of the casting blank, oxidation and burning loss, decarburization, and the like, and therefore the heating temperature of the casting blank needs to be accurately designed. In order to ensure the solution of the large-size precipitated particles of the casting blank, the present application obtains a precise quantitative relationship between the contents of V, Ti, N and C in the steel and the heating solution temperature of the casting blank, realizes accurate control of the heating system of the heating temperature of the casting blank, and at the same time ensures that the percentage of the V and Ti precipitated particle size ≥100 in the casting blank is ≤3%. If the percentage of the V and Ti precipitated particle size ≥100-200 nm in the casting blank is >3%, the percentage of the V precipitated in the rolled material is less than 68%, and the percentage of the VN or VCN particle size ≤10 nm is less than 90%.

[0050] S3, heating the casting blank at the heating temperature, and then rolling, cooling and annealing to obtain a bolt steel.

[0051] In some embodiments, the entry finish rolling temperature of the rolling is 740-820°C.

[0052] In the embodiments of the present application, the entry finish rolling temperature of the rolling is controlled to be 740°C, and the exit temperature is 820°C, so as to ensure the deformation-induced VN or VCN particle precipitation. Exemplarily, the entry finish rolling temperature of the rolling is 740°C, 750°C, 760°C, 770°C, 780°C, 790°C, 800°C, 810°C, 820°C, and the like.

[0053] In some embodiments, the cooling rate is 0.1-0.5°C / s in the 850-750°C interval of the cooling.

[0054] In the ferrite region in the range of 850-750℃, the small size nano V-containing particles are controlled to precipitate, and the cooling speed is controlled in the range of 0.1-0.5℃ / s. If the cooling speed is greater than 0.5℃ / s, the percentage of VN or VCN particles with a size of ≤10nm in the material is less than 90%; if the cooling speed is less than 0.1℃ / s, the Fe+Fe2O3 structure in the iron oxide scale FeO layer is precipitated, which affects the mechanical descaling performance of the iron oxide scale. Exemplarily, the cooling speed can be 0.1℃ / s, 0.2℃ / s, 0.3℃ / s, 0.4℃ / s, 0.5℃ / s, etc.

[0055] Based on one general inventive concept, the application provides a bolt steel, in which the proportion of the precipitated amount of V to the V content is ≥68%, and the percentage of VN or VCN precipitated particles with a size of ≤10nm is ≥90%.

[0056] In some embodiments, in the bolt steel, the percentage of V and Ti precipitated particles with a size of ≥100nm is ≤3%.

[0057] By obtaining the precise quantitative relationship between the V, Ti, N and C element contents in the steel and the heating return temperature of the casting blank, the application realizes precise control of the heating system of the casting blank heating temperature, and simultaneously uses ultra-low temperature rolling + limit slow cooling process to effectively control the percentage of VN or VCN particles with a size of ≤10nm in the material to be ≥90%, and the percentage of V and Ti particles with a size of ≥100nm to be γ0≤3%. Exemplarily, the proportion of the precipitated amount of V to the V content can be 68%, 69%, 70%, 72%, 74%, 75%, etc., the percentage of VN or VCN precipitated particles with a size of ≤10nm can be 90%, 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, etc., and the percentage of V and Ti precipitated particles with a size of ≥100nm can be 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3%, etc.

[0058] The bolt steel is realized based on the preparation method of the above bolt steel. The specific steps of the preparation method of the bolt steel can refer to the above embodiments. Since the bolt steel uses part or all of the technical solutions of the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0059] Based on one general inventive concept, the application provides a fastener made of bolt steel by induction quenching and tempering process.

[0060] In some embodiments, the fastener satisfies at least one of the following properties: Rp0.2(500℃) is 705Mpa-728Mpa, Rp0.2(550℃) is 590Mpa-608Mpa, and creep limit strength (550℃) is 176Mpa-185Mpa.

[0061] The high-temperature service performance and creep limit strength of the part product after induction heat treatment are greatly improved. Compared with the traditional process, the Rp0.2(550℃) is increased by an average of 42Mpa, and the creep limit strength at 550℃ is increased by an average of 37Mpa. For example, the Rp0.2(500℃) can be 705Mpa, 710Mpa, 715Mpa, 720Mpa, 725Mpa, 728Mpa, etc., the Rp0.2(550℃) is 590Mpa, 592Mpa, 595Mpa, 600Mpa, 605Mpa, 608Mpa, etc., and the creep limit strength (550℃) is 176Mpa, 178Mpa, 180Mpa, 182Mpa, 185Mpa, etc.

It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the application and not to limit the scope of the application. The experimental methods in the following examples are not specified, which are generally determined according to the industry standard.
