Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel materials and preparation thereof, and in particular to a special thick high-strength and tough rack steel for an offshore platform and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As a key facility for offshore operations and life, self-elevating offshore platforms play a vital role in marine energy exploitation. Among them, rack steel is the core component of the lifting legs of self-elevating offshore platforms. It not only needs to support the weight of the entire platform, but also has to withstand harsh environments such as offshore wind and waves, undercurrents, and atmospheric erosion. Therefore, in the construction of offshore platforms, the quality of rack steel is crucial, requiring it to have a large thickness, high strength and toughness, as well as good seawater corrosion resistance and welding performance.

[0003] As the thickness of gear steel gradually increases, the strength-toughness matching problem becomes more complicated, especially at 1 / 2 of the thickness direction. This not only puts forward requirements on the composition of extra-thick rack steel, but also requires special attention to its smelting, rolling and heat treatment processes. These processes have an important influence on the uniformity of the structure of the steel thickness section and the control of the gradient structure.

[0004] At present, the domestic steel for extra-thick gears mainly adopts the Ni-Cr-Mo alloying component system and adopts the traditional quenching + tempering heat treatment process. However, this method may lead to the following problems: (1) The highest strength grade steel currently used in self-elevating platforms - 690MPa grade high-toughness, corrosion-resistant and easy-to-weld offshore platform steel, is only produced by some manufacturers in Japan, the United States and Germany, which seriously restricts the development of my country's offshore engineering equipment. (2) During the quenching process, Ni-Cr-Mo alloy steel is prone to structural inheritance, resulting in coarse grains, uneven structure, and mixed crystals in the steel plate. (3) Due to the internal segregation of the continuous casting billet and the limitation of the compression ratio, the thickness of the offshore platform rack steel plate currently produced is generally less than 150mm. When the thickness exceeds 150mm, problems such as unstable low-temperature impact energy, poor Z-direction performance and uneven thickness direction performance often occur. Therefore, it is necessary to more effectively control the structure of the steel plate thickness section during the heat treatment process to ensure that the steel plate can obtain excellent strength and toughness. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to solve the above problems existing in the prior art, a super thick high strength rack steel for offshore platforms and a manufacturing method thereof are proposed, which utilizes the Ni-Cr-Mo alloying composition system, controls the ratio of V and Nb elements, and adopts double quenching + high temperature tempering after controlled rolling. ofThe heat treatment process obtains a tempered martensitic steel with a maximum thickness of 256 mm, and the final yield strength of the steel plate is greater than 880 MPa, the tensile strength is greater than 1000 MPa, the Charpy V-notch impact energy at -60°C is greater than 170 J, and the elongation after fracture is greater than 17%. The steel plate of the present invention has a simple production process, low cost, good uniformity of structure in the thickness direction, and excellent strength and toughness matching, and can be used to manufacture racks for offshore platforms.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the steel plate of the present invention has been systematically tested in terms of composition design, rolling process parameters, microstructure control, etc. The technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A special thick high-strength and tough rack steel for an offshore platform, wherein the mass percentages of the elements are as follows: C: 0.09-0.16, Si: 0.1-0.3, Mn: 0.3-0.8, Ni: 3.3-4.3, Cr: 0.8-1.5, Mo: 0.8-1.5, Cu: 0.2-0.5, B: 0.001-0.002, S≤0.005%, P≤0.003%, further containing V and Nb, and the balance being Fe and other inevitable impurities; the sum of the mass percentage of the V element and the mass percentage of the Nb element is in the range of 0.09-0.12%;

[0008] The microstructure of the extra-thick high-strength and tough rack steel for the offshore platform is a tempered martensite structure and a carbide precipitation phase, and the thickness of the extra-thick high-strength and tough rack steel for the offshore platform is 256 mm.

[0009] The mass percentage of the V element: the mass percentage of the Nb element are controlled at 2:1.

[0010] The yield strength of the extra-thick high-strength and tough rack steel for the offshore platform is greater than 880 MPa, the tensile strength is greater than 1000 MPa, the Charpy V-notch impact energy at -60°C is greater than 170 J, and the elongation after fracture is greater than 17%.

[0011] A method for preparing a particularly thick and high-strength rack steel for an offshore platform comprises the following steps:

[0012] S1. Smelting: According to the mass percentage ratio of each element, the steel ingot is obtained by smelting and pouring, and the steel ingot is treated by LF and RH refining furnaces. The superheat of the molten steel in the tundish is ≤20°C, and the casting is protected throughout the whole process;

[0013] S2, continuous casting; the molten steel prepared in S1 flows into the casting mold of the continuous casting machine through the pouring system, gradually solidifies under the action of cooling water to form a steel billet, and further cools in the secondary cooling zone to obtain a continuously cast billet;

[0014] S3, rolling: heating the continuous casting billet prepared in S2 to 1100-1200°C and keeping the temperature for 5-8h, and then performing controlled rolling to obtain a hot-rolled plate, with the roller speed controlled at 1.0-1.5m / s, the pressure value ≥3000KN·m, and ensuring 2-4 passes during rolling, with a single pass reduction rate of more than 8%;

[0015] S4, slow cooling; hydrogen expansion and slow cooling of the hot-rolled plate prepared in step S3 to obtain a hot-rolled steel plate, the hydrogen expansion temperature is ≥300°C, and the time is >14min / mm;

[0016] S5, quenching; the hot-rolled steel plate in step S4 is completely austenitized, and then water-quenched to room temperature after heat preservation to obtain a quenched steel plate;

[0017] S6, tempering; the quenched steel plate in step S5 is subjected to high temperature tempering, and then air-cooled to room temperature after heat preservation to obtain a final steel plate.

[0018] In step S1, the melting temperature is 1600-1700°C, the treatment time of LF and RH refining furnace is 10-30 minutes, and the superheat temperature of molten steel in the tundish is 10-20°C.

[0019] In step S2, the cooling water flow rate of the mold cooling is 20~30L / min·m², the pulling speed during the solidification process is 0.6~0.8m / min, and the solidification speed is 2~4mm / min; the water flow rate in the secondary cooling zone is 50~70L / min·m², the cooling intensity is 3~5℃ / min, and the continuous casting billet is cooled to 900~950℃ and then heated to the rolling temperature.

[0020] In step S3, the continuous casting billet is subjected to two-stage rolling. In the first stage, the rough rolling temperature is 1100-1200°C, the rough rolling is performed for 3-5 passes, and the reduction rate of a single pass is between 6-10%. After the rough rolling, the temperature is raised to 820-870°C for the second stage of finishing rolling, the finishing rolling is performed for 2-4 passes, and the reduction rate of a single pass is between 6-10%. After rolling, the billet is air-cooled.

[0021] In step S4, the slow cooling time is ≥ 48 h.

[0022] In step S5, a furnace heating method is adopted, the heating rate is ≤120°C / h, and a two-time quenching process is used. The first quenching temperature is 900~950°C, the average temperature holding time coefficient is 1.5~2.0min / mm, and a fast laminar cooling system with an average cooling rate greater than 15°C / s is used to cool to room temperature; the second quenching temperature is 820~870°C, the average temperature holding time coefficient is 1.0~1.5min / mm, and other conditions are the same.

[0023] In step S6, the temperature range of high temperature tempering is 600-650°C, the uniform temperature holding time coefficient is 3.0-4.0 min / mm, and air cooling is performed to room temperature.

[0024] The principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0025] V and Nb are added in combination. NbC mainly plays a role in grain refinement, while VC mainly plays a role in precipitation strengthening. The combination of the two elements can achieve both grain refinement and precipitation strengthening. In this composition system, V:Nb is controlled at 2:1, which can achieve the best grain refinement and precipitation strengthening effects. When the combination of V and Nb is in the range of 0.09~0.12%, the thickness can reach 256mm.

[0026] In the preparation method, step S2 ensures the uniformity of the structure of the core and surface of the continuous casting billet by controlling the solidification process, temperature distribution and cooling rate of the billet to avoid cracks, deformation or internal defects; after cooling to 900-950°C and then heating to the rolling temperature, the internal temperature and the surface temperature tend to be uniform. Within this temperature range, the ratio of V:Nb is 2:1, which can ensure that NbC and VC will not be excessively dissolved and retain a certain precipitation strengthening power.

[0027] The finishing rolling temperature range in step S3 is 820~870℃; if it is greater than 870℃, sufficient precipitation strengthening cannot be achieved, and the fine grain strengthening effect of NbC will not be reflected, which is not conducive to strength and toughness. If it is less than 820℃, excessive precipitation of NbC and VC will occur, which is not conducive to the plasticity of the steel plate and the plate shape will also deteriorate. It is appropriate to control the ratio of V:Nb to 2:1, and finish rolling in this temperature range is appropriate.

[0028] In step S5, two quenching processes are used. The purpose of the first quenching is to obtain a martensitic structure by rapid cooling, significantly improving the hardness and strength of the steel. The purpose of the second quenching is to optimize the performance of the martensitic structure, eliminate some internal stress, and further improve the toughness of the steel.

[0029] In step S6, the high temperature tempering temperature range is 600-650°C, which can completely remove the residual stress of the steel plate itself, improve the toughness of the material, and retain the precipitation effect of NbC and VC. The precipitates are mainly VC, and some (Cr, Mo)C precipitates will provide hardening. NbC is less and mainly precipitates at high temperature to provide fine grain strengthening effect.

[0030] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the maximum thickness of the rack steel prepared by the present invention can reach 256 mm, and the final yield strength of the steel plate is greater than 880 MPa, the tensile strength is greater than 1000 MPa, the Charpy V-notch impact energy at -60°C is greater than 170 J, and the elongation after fracture is greater than 17%.

[0031] (1) The steel plate of the present invention reduces the Mn content and increases the Cr and Mo contents on the basis of conventional rack steel, thereby reducing the segregation phenomenon of the core structure, which is beneficial to the uniformity of the structure in the thickness direction; at the same time, by utilizing the Ni-Cr-Mo alloying component system and controlling the Nb and V content ratio, utilizing the fine grain strengthening effect of NbC at high temperature and utilizing the precipitation strengthening effect of VC during tempering, an excellent strength-toughness match can be achieved.

[0032] (2) The steel plate of the present invention adopts a two-stage rolling process of low speed and high pressure, which reduces the surface temperature, improves the core rolling force penetration, forms a large number of deformation bands and dislocations inside the austenite grains, increases the nucleation position, promotes the refinement of austenite grains, and ensures the performance requirements of extra-thick rack steel.

[0033] (3) The steel plate of the present invention controls the solidification process, temperature distribution and cooling rate of the steel billet during the continuous casting process, and reduces the heating rate during the quenching process, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the structure in the thickness direction, and further refines the original austenite grains by using the double quenching process, thereby promoting the fine grain strengthening effect and precipitation strengthening effect, which is beneficial to the improvement of the overall strength and toughness.
