Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a medium-thick plate and its production method, specifically to a high-strength 11MnNiMoDR medium-thick plate for cryogenic containers and its production method, belonging to the field of steel production technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demand for cryogenic petrochemical raw materials and auxiliary materials such as propylene, propane, ethane, and acetylene in my country, the demand for ultra-low temperature steel used in the construction of cryogenic spherical tanks or storage tanks has also increased. To ensure the safety of steel plates, steel plates with temperatures lower than -88℃ for liquid ethane and other media are required; to reduce equipment weight and material costs, steel plates need higher strength; and for more precise design and manufacturing of certain parts of storage and transportation facilities, thinner steel plates are also needed, such as 5mm steel plates required for cryogenic containers. However, the production of thin steel plates is difficult due to the rapid cooling during the rolling process, which easily leads to defects such as waviness, warping, and rolling defects.
[0003] A search of invention patent application number 202010235608.8 reveals a method for producing ultra-low temperature high-strength 13MnNi6-3 container steel. This method employs billet casting combined with a reasonable controlled rolling and cooling process, normalizing + tempering, to produce 13MnNi6-3 container steel with a diameter of 30-60mm, a yield strength ≥375MPa, a tensile strength ≥510MPa, and a low-temperature impact testing temperature of -90℃; application number 202010235602.0 The invention patent describes a method for producing thick 13MnNi6-3 container steel with ultra-low temperature high core impact. This method uses billet production combined with a reasonable controlled rolling process, and a quenching + tempering process to produce 80mm thick 13MnNi6-3 container steel with an ultra-low temperature of -80℃. The tensile strength of its 1 / 4 thickness and 1 / 2 thickness is ≥498MPa. The invention patent with application number 202211513903.0 describes a high-strength and high-toughness 11MnNiDR steel plate for pressure vessels and its manufacturing method. This method uses low carbon equivalent design and the addition of Ni, Nb, and Ti alloys, controlled rolling and controlled cooling, and quenching + tempering to produce 11MnNiDR steel with a yield strength ≥400MPa, tensile strength ≥560MPa, and a low-temperature impact testing temperature of -70℃. The microstructure is low-carbon bainite + ferrite, and the reported maximum thickness is 100mm.
[0004] The above patents all involve designing the composition and matching the appropriate process to produce low-temperature steel products. However, the product strength is relatively low and the impact temperature cannot meet the requirements of lower temperatures than liquid cryogenic media such as ethane. Furthermore, the thinnest specification reported is not even 5mm steel plate, which is difficult to produce. How to effectively improve the toughness and strength of steel plates and cover the full thickness specifications required for the construction of storage and transportation facilities through redesigning the composition and production process is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0009] This invention also designs a method for producing 11MnNiMoDR medium-thick plates for high-strength cryogenic containers, specifically including the following steps:
[0010] (1) KR pre-desulfurization treatment: After the first slag removal, when the temperature is controlled at 1350-1370℃, the purified magnesium desulfurizing agent is sprayed for 25 minutes. Desulfurization is carried out by stirring. After desulfurization, the S in the molten iron is ≤0.006%, and the desulfurization temperature drop is ≤50℃. After the desulfurization, the slag is removed a second time.

[0015] The thickness of the cast slab is 150mm and 460mm;
[0016] (4) Rolling: The total time the slab is in the furnace is ≥8 min / cm, the temperature is 1140~1250℃, and then it is rolled after exiting the furnace;
[0017] <10mm steel plate is rolled in ordinary rolling, continuously rolled to the set thickness;
[0018] Two-stage controlled rolling of steel plates with a thickness ≥10mm: The first stage uses a large rolling pass reduction rate for continuous and uninterrupted rolling to ensure that the deformed metal undergoes dynamic and static recrystallization;
[0019] The second stage adopts non-recrystallization controlled rolling, with a rolling pass reduction rate of ≥10%;
[0020] The temperature for controlled cooling after rolling is 720-740℃.
[0021] (5) Heat treatment: After the steel plate is cooled and shot blasted, it is quenched and tempered. After quenching, it is water-cooled to room temperature, and after tempering, it is air-cooled to room temperature.
[0022] The technical solution further defined in this invention is:
[0023] Furthermore, in the aforementioned production method of 11MnNiMoDR medium-thick plates for high-strength cryogenic containers, the basicity of the LF furnace top slag in step (2) is controlled at 5-7, and the slag quantity is controlled at 12-16 kg / ton of steel.

[0025] In the aforementioned production method of 11MnNiMoDR medium-thick plate for high-strength ultra-low temperature containers, in step (4), the steel plate with a thickness ≥10mm is rolled in two stages, the total number of rolling passes in the recrystallization zone is 4, the cumulative reduction rate in the recrystallization zone is ≥40%, the final rolling temperature is 820℃-860℃, the post-rolling reddening temperature is 730-760℃, the cooling rate is controlled at 20-30℃ / s, and the microstructure of the rolled steel plate is refined.

[0029] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0030] (1) Phosphorus and sulfur increase the brittleness of steel, phosphorus reduces the plasticity of steel, phosphorus causes unstable welding performance, and sulfur reduces the ductility and toughness of steel, causing cracks during rolling. The content of phosphorus and sulfur must be strictly controlled. Carbon plays a key role in the strength of steel, but it will reduce its plasticity and toughness. To ensure the toughness at ultra-low temperatures, a low content needs to be controlled. Nickel can lower and raise the ductile-brittle transition temperature of steel, improve toughness, and also improve strength, but it is expensive and needs to be added in an appropriate amount. Molybdenum can improve hardenability and hot strength, and improve tempering stability. Manganese can improve hardenability and significantly improve strength, but when the content is too high, the plasticity and low-temperature toughness of steel will decrease. An appropriate amount needs to be added. Nb and V can refine the grains, reduce temper brittleness, and improve welding performance. V can significantly improve the strength of steel. Through pre-desulfurization treatment and steelmaking, S≤0.002% is controlled. Through deep dephosphorization in the converter, P≤0.005% is controlled. This invention is designed with lower C, Si, P and S are strictly controlled, with harmful elements P and S controlled at C: 0.03%–0.11% and Si: 0.1%–0.40%. Appropriate Ni, Mo, and Mn alloying elements are added, with their contents controlled as follows: Ni: 0.3%–0.9%, Mo: 0.1%–0.30%, and Mn: 1.4%–1.9%. Appropriate amounts of trace elements Nb ≤ 0.05% and V ≤ 0.05% are added, along with appropriate smelting, rolling, and rapid post-rolling cooling. However, by refining the steel plate grains and using a suitable quenching and tempering heat treatment process, 5-80mm steel plates with a microstructure of tempered sorbite + ferrite, a grain size of grade 8.0, a yield strength ≥440MPa, a tensile strength ≥570MPa, an elongation after fracture ≥20%, and an average impact energy of -100℃ ≥120J are produced. This successfully solves the technical challenge of matching high strength with high toughness requirements in steel plates at ultra-low temperatures, and can meet the construction requirements of storage and transportation containers for low-temperature petrochemical raw materials such as ethane.
[0031] (2) This invention successfully solved the technical difficulties of producing high-strength, -100℃ high-impact toughness ultra-low temperature 5mm thick 11MnNiMoDR container steel on a 3500mm rolling mill production line. Attached Figure Description
