Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a hot rolling method for producing low-cost low-temperature service pipeline steel L290M. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the aggravation of global energy consumption, the exploitation of oil and gas energy has extended to the polar region, permafrost, deep sea and desert environment, and therefore, the oil and gas long-distance pipeline engineering puts forward higher requirements for pipeline steel pipes, such as low temperature, large strain, thick wall and high strength. According to research, the Arctic region may contain 30% of the remaining natural gas and 13% of the remaining oil reserves on earth, which is extremely attractive for future energy development.
[0003] At present, drop weight tear test (DWTT) is a key index for testing the low-temperature dynamic tear resistance of pipeline steel, and meeting the index is an important technical difficulty for manufacturing low-temperature service pipeline steel pipes. When the thickness of the pipeline steel increases, the difficulty of meeting the low-temperature DWTT performance will significantly increase.
[0004] Through retrieval, the document with the Chinese patent application number CN 110616383 B discloses a pipeline steel with excellent toughness for-45 DEG C extremely low temperature environment and a manufacturing method thereof. The method is suitable for C: 0.030-0.060%, Si: 0.10-0.30%, Mn: 1.30-1.60%, P≤0.0100%, S≤0.0015%, Ni: 0.40-0.55%, Cr: 0.05-0.20%, Nb: 0.050-0.075%, Ti: 0.008-0.020%, Ca: 0.0010-0.0040%, Al: 0.010-0.050%, B≤0.0005%, N: 0.0010-0.0060%, O≤0.0050%, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities. The yield strength of the pipeline steel is greater than or equal to 450 MPa, the tensile strength is greater than or equal to 535 MPa, the elongation is greater than or equal to 18%, the Charpy impact energy at-45 DEG C is greater than or equal to 250 J, and the DWTT fracture shear area rate SA% at-45 DEG C is greater than or equal to 85%. The document has the disadvantage that although the comprehensive performance is excellent and the low-temperature drop weight performance is good, the relative manufacturing cost is increased, which is not conducive to long-term development.
[0005] Through retrieval, the document with the Chinese patent application number CN 112375969 A discloses a production method of-30 DEG C low-temperature toughness pipeline steel.

[0006] The other residual elements to be avoided are Fe and other trace impurity elements, the yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and yield strength ratio have moderate excess amount and stable control ability, the impact energy at-30 DEG C is stable and has moderate excess amount, which can meet the special needs of the product. The deficiency of the document is that the impact energy at-30 DEG C is basically maintained at about 120J, there is no drop hammer performance description, the content of Nb element is relatively higher than that of the present application, and the market price of titanium element is relatively low, so the relative cost is higher than that of the present application.

The deficiency of the document is that the transverse yield strength is 485~540MPa, the transverse tensile strength is 610~680MPa, the transverse elongation A50 is greater than or equal to 43%, the-20 DEG C transverse DWTT shear area is greater than or equal to 85%, the overall performance is relatively excellent, but the low-temperature drop hammer temperature only reaches-20 DEG C, while the present application has the overall performance meeting the standard, and the excess amount is larger, and the low-temperature drop hammer temperature is-35 DEG C.
