AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are insufficient to produce extra-thick steel plates that meet the requirements of high strength, high toughness, and high crack arrest performance for critical components of large container ships. Traditional methods have a significant impact on the brittle microstructure at the 1/2 thickness position, and the measurement of crack arrest performance is not scientific enough.

Method used

The DQ+LT process is adopted to control the phase transformation structure after rolling through two-step heat treatment, forming a fine multiphase structure, including lath bainite, granular bainite and M/A islands. Combined with quenching and tempering treatment, a multiphase structure of critical ferrite, tempered martensite and fine retained austenite is formed, which improves the crack arrest property of the steel plate.

Benefits of technology

We have produced ultra-thick, high-strength steel plates with a maximum thickness of 100mm. The crack arrest toughness at -10℃ reaches 8000N/mm3/2. This has improved the core microstructure of ultra-thick steel plates, reduced alloy costs, and the process is stable enough for mass production. It is suitable for shipbuilding, bridges and other fields.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of steel material preparation, and relates to a production method of high-crack-arrest thick ultra-high-strength ship plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of economy and the increase of trade volume, container ships gradually develop in the direction of large-scale, and the load of the deck superstructure of the container ship is also getting larger and larger. Some key parts, such as the main deck, the top side plate, the hatch coaming and the like, due to the requirements of high strength, high toughness and high crack arrest performance, the general high-strength ship plate cannot meet the use requirements. Taking a 24000TEU super-large container ship as an example, the thickness of the hatch coaming reaches 95mm, and the steel quantity of the crack arrest steel is more than 1000 tons per ship.

[0003] The Chinese patent CN 101341269 A "High-strength thick steel plate with excellent crack arrest performance" mainly controls the difference of the structure, grain boundary density and texture of the steel plate in the thickness direction, so that the crack propagation direction at different thickness positions is different when the steel plate cracks, thereby increasing the crack propagation resistance to improve the crack arrest performance of the steel plate. However, the essence is that the cooling capacity of the thick plate produced is not enough, and the brittle structure at the 1 / 2 position of the plate affects the crack arrest performance of the steel plate. This method has little effect on the improvement of the crack arrest performance, and the toughness structure at the 1 / 2 position is not fundamentally improved. The Chinese patent CN 102994874 A "High crack arrest toughness steel plate with yield strength of 500Mpa and production method thereof" discloses a method of refining the grain by rapidly cooling to the Ar3 transformation point after rough rolling and then performing finish rolling to prevent crack propagation. However, this method uses low-temperature impact toughness and NDT ductile-brittle transition temperature to measure the crack arrest performance of the steel plate, which is not scientific and rigorous. It can only indicate that the toughness of the steel plate is good, and cannot prove that the crack arrest performance of the steel plate is excellent. Only the ESSO test or double tensile test is the internationally recognized standard test for measuring the crack arrest performance of the steel plate. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a production method of high-crack-arrest thick ultra-high-strength ship plate, which produces thick crack arrest steel with a maximum thickness of 100mm, and relates to a production method of ultra-high-strength ship plate with yield strengths of 47, 51 and 56kg grades, and particularly requires that the crack arrest toughness Kca at-10℃ is greater than or equal to 8000N / mm 3 / 2 , and has high crack arrest performance.

[0007] In a further aspect, the application provides a production method of high-rupture-resistance extra-thick super-high-strength ship plate with a yield strength of 47 kg level, a chemical composition of the steel and a weight percentage of the steel are as follows: C=0.05%-0.07%, Si=0.15%-0.35%, Mn=1.00%-1.15%, P<=0.010%, S<=0.002%, Al=0.015%-0.050%, Nb=0.02%-0.03%, V=0.05%-0.06%, Ti=0.008%-0.02%, Ni=0.60%-0.70%, Mo=0.20%-0.30%, Cr=0.50%-0.60%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurity elements; correspondingly preferably, the quenching temperature is 740-760 DEG C, and the tempering temperature is 630-650 DEG C.

[0008] Further, the production method of the high crack arrest property extra-thick ultra-high strength ship plate with yield strength of 51 kg level, the chemical composition of the steel and its weight percentage are as follows: C=0.05%-0.07%, Si=0.15%-0.35%, Mn=0.90%-1.00%, P≤0.010%, S≤0.002%, Al=0.015%-0.050%, Nb=0.02%-0.03%, V=0.055%-0.065%, Ti=0.008%-0.02%, Ni=0.80%-1.00%, Mo=0.30%-0.40%, Cr=0.60%-0.80%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurity elements; and correspondingly preferably, the quenching temperature is 750-770 DEG C, and the tempering temperature is 640-660 DEG C.

[0009] Further, the production method of the high crack arrest property extra-thick ultra-high strength ship plate with yield strength of 56 kg level, the chemical composition of the steel and its weight percentage are as follows: C=0.06%-0.08%, Si=0.15%-0.35%, Mn=0.80%-0.90%, P≤0.010%, S≤0.002%, Al=0.015%-0.050%, Nb=0.03%-0.04%, V=0.06%-0.07%, Ti=0.008%-0.02%, Ni=1.00%-1.20%, Mo=0.40%-0.50%, Cr=0.80%-1.00%, Cu=0.10%-0.20%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurity elements; and correspondingly preferably, the quenching temperature is 760-780 DEG C, and the tempering temperature is 650-670 DEG C.

[0010] The technical principle of the process of the application is as follows:

[0011] The application is different from the conventional crack arrest steel production process, and the crack arrest property of the steel plate is not improved by refining the grains through the TMCP process, but the phase change organization after rolling is precisely controlled through the DQ+LT process, a two-step heat treatment process is adopted, a fine multi-phase organization is formed, the grains are refined while the organization defects are eliminated, so that the crack arrest property of the extra-thick steel plate is improved. The rolling organization is mainly lath bainite+granular bainite+M / A island, especially in the heart of the extra-thick steel plate, the size and proportion of the granular bainite and M / A island increase, and the toughness and crack arrest property are seriously deteriorated; the first step is to quench in the two-phase region, heated to A c1+ (10~30) ℃, partial reverse transformation of the rolled structure occurs, reverse transformation austenite is formed along the original austenite grain boundaries and between the lath structures, partial austenitization is realized, the un-austenitized matrix structure still maintains a lath structure, and elements such as C, Mn and Ni in the matrix structure are enriched in the reverse transformation austenite, thereby improving the hardenability of the reverse transformation austenite, in the subsequent water cooling process, the reverse transformation austenite is transformed into martensite or bainite, and the un-austenitized structure with depleted C, Mn and Ni content is transformed into critical ferrite. In the second high-temperature tempering, carbides in the martensite / bainite formed in the first quenching and cooling process are precipitated, and residual austenite is decomposed, and finally after air cooling, a multi-phase structure mainly composed of critical ferrite + tempered martensite / bainite + fine residual austenite is obtained, and the soft and hard phase matched structure type makes the steel plate have excellent strength and toughness and crack arrest property.

[0012] The prominent features and significant effects of the present application mainly include:

[0013] (1) The present application produces high crack arrest property super-thick ship plates from continuous casting billets, the maximum thickness can reach 100 mm, while ensuring product quality, the-10 ℃ crack arrest toughness Kca≥8000 N / mm 3 / 2 ;
