Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of casting round billets for deep-sea pipelines, and in particular to a 500mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation, high-purity, low-carbon microalloy steel and a continuous casting method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The water depth of offshore oil and gas exploration and development areas is ≤300 meters, which is called shallow water area; the water depth is 300 meters to 1500 meters, which is called deep water area; the water depth is greater than 1500 meters, which is called ultra-deep water area. In order to meet the requirements of deep and ultra-deep water exploitation, underwater oil and gas development requires pipelines with high dimensional accuracy from the perspective of safe and reliable operation. Usually, the design will consider the problem of misalignment after welding and butt joint, and will require the inner diameter dimensional accuracy of the pipe end to reach ±0.5mm or ±0.25mm or more stringent. This technical requirement can be achieved by direct rolling for small-sized products, but it can be achieved directly for 508mm outer diameter by unconventional hot rolling, and special end sizing or machining is required to achieve the accuracy. The outer diameter of 508mm is the standard outer diameter of conventional onshore pipelines, and the outer diameter or inner diameter of the pipe end is generally required to be ±1.6mm. Generally, onshore pipelines can be used in lengths of 10-13 meters without length restrictions.

[0003] However, due to the limitation of pipe-laying vessels, the length of marine line pipes needs to meet 11.7-12.7 meters, and the usual average length needs to be ≥12.1 meters. Individual short lengths caused by sampling tests can be accepted, which generally does not exceed 5% of the total. Underwater oil and gas development in deepwater and ultra-deepwater areas requires line pipes with an outer diameter of 508mm and a wall thickness of ≥25.4mm, which need to ensure high dimensional accuracy and meet the construction length requirements of marine pipelines at the same time.

[0004] To realize the production of 508mm outer diameter steel pipes, high-quality 500mm outer diameter round billets are required. The types of round billets can be produced through die casting, continuous casting, billet rolling, etc. Among them, continuous casting of round billets is the most efficient and economical production method.

[0005] The high dimensional accuracy of steel pipes requires that the continuous casting round billet has good dimensional accuracy and internal and external surface quality. The internal quality of the continuous casting round billet is usually reflected by the continuous casting macrostructure. The macrostructure can be directly seen after the round billet specimen is acid-immersed. The shrinkage or looseness in the center of the continuous casting round billet is formed by the characteristics of continuous casting and is inevitable. The ideal continuous casting macrostructure should have a lower level of looseness, segregation, shrinkage and higher cleanliness.

[0006] The existing continuous casting process for preparing round billets with large outer diameter has problems such as high porosity in the center of the round billet, low purity, and high segregation. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing process to prepare round billets with low segregation and high purity to meet the needs of deep-sea pipelines. Summary of the invention

[0007] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a 500mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation, high-purity, low-carbon micro-alloy steel and a continuous casting method thereof, so as to prepare a 500mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation, high-purity, low-carbon micro-alloy steel, which can meet the high-quality round billet requirements of 508mm outer diameter and high dimensional accuracy seamless pipelines for underwater oil and gas development.

[0008] The present invention is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0009] On the one hand, the present invention provides a 500mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation high-purity low-carbon microalloy steel, the chemical composition of which is as follows by mass percentage: C: 0.045-0.11wt%, Si: 0.25-0.60wt%, Mn: 1.30-1.70wt%, P: ≤0.012wt%, S: ≤0.003wt%, Al: 0.020-0.060wt%, Cr: 0.05-0.15wt%, Mo: 0.11-0.20wt%, Nb: 0.015-0.03wt%, Cu: 0.01-0.06wt%, Ni: 0.05%-0.20wt%, V: 0.025-0.05wt%, Ti:

[0010] 0.01-0.04wt%, B≤0.0005wt%, [H]≤2ppm, CEpcm:0.16-0.22wt%,

[0011] CE IIW :0.34-0.39wt%, CEpcm=C+Si / 30+Mn / 20+Cu / 20+Ni / 60+Cr / 20+Mo / 15+V / 10+5B, CE IIW =C+Mn / 6+(Cr+Mo+V) / 5+(Ni+Cu) / 15, the remainder being Fe and inevitable impurities.

[0012] Furthermore, in the acid immersion low-magnification analysis of the 500 mm cross-section round billet of the low-segregation high-purity low-carbon microalloyed steel, subcutaneous cracks, shrinkage cavities, central looseness, and core cracks are all ≤ level 1, and there are no visible white spots, delamination, inclusions, and peeling.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer diameter tolerance of the 500mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation high-purity low-carbon microalloy steel is ±3.5mm, the ovality is ≤12.5mm, the curvature per meter should be ≤4mm, and the total curvature should be ≤0.4%L.

[0014] Furthermore, the 500 mm cross-section round billet of the low-segregation high-purity low-carbon microalloyed steel is subjected to non-metallic inclusion analysis after rolling, and the grades of coarse or fine inclusions of types A, B, C, and D are all ≤1.5, and the total of A+B+C+D is ≤4.0.

[0015] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for continuous casting of a 500 mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation high-purity low-carbon microalloy steel, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0016] (1) The smelting raw materials are smelted in a short-flow EAF electric furnace (90-110t / furnace) at a tapping temperature of 1620-1690°C, refined in a LF ladle furnace at a refining temperature of 1575-1665°C, alloy materials are added to adjust the composition, and then treated in a VD furnace at a high vacuum temperature of 1550-1670°C for more than 10 minutes, weakly stirred with argon for more than 30 minutes, and wire fed (Ca wire>50m / furnace, Al wire and Ti wire in appropriate amounts) to obtain liquid steel;

[0017] (2) The molten steel is continuously casted under temperature control in a LF ladle furnace, with an overheat temperature of 15-35° C., and enters a 4-6-stream crystallizer through a tundish. The liquid level line is adjusted to a casting speed of 0.20-0.65 m / min, a crystallizer water flow rate of 3500-4500 L / min, a vibration frequency of 60-100 times / min, and an amplitude of 3-4 mm; the crystallizer electromagnetic stirring frequency is 1-3 Hz, the secondary cooling zone water flow rate is 200-300 L / min, the terminal electromagnetic stirring frequency is 5-8 Hz, and the hot straightening temperature is 850-1000° C., thereby preparing a 500 mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation, high-purity, low-carbon microalloy steel;

[0018] The process of the present invention adopts the eccentric furnace bottom tapping EAF mode, uses the double-station LF ladle furnace to perform refining and adjust the appropriate molten steel composition, and then performs VD high vacuum treatment, ensures high vacuum and treatment time, argon weak stirring, and the molten steel after vacuum treatment is cast. High vacuum combined with argon weak stirring can make the composition in the molten steel more uniform, and the P, S content and other impurities are lower. The overheating temperature during casting is controlled at 15-35°C, and the crystallizer electromagnetic stirring and the end electromagnetic stirring are applied at the same time. The crystallizer electromagnetic stirring current is 130-180A, the electromagnetic stirring frequency is 1-3Hz, the end electromagnetic stirring current is 300-400A, and the end electromagnetic stirring is 5-8HZ. The end stirring current intensity is higher than the crystallizer electromagnetic stirring to achieve the lowest segregation, and finally obtain a Φ500mm cross-section round billet.

[0019] Furthermore, the superheat temperature is 15-25°C.

[0020] Furthermore, the electromagnetic stirring current of the crystallizer is 130-180A, and the end electromagnetic stirring current is 300-400A.

[0021] Furthermore, the smelting raw materials are molten iron, pig iron and high-quality scrap steel, the mass percentage of the molten iron is greater than 30%, and the alloy materials include ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, ferrovanadium, ferronickel, ferromolybdenum and ferroniobium.

[0022] Furthermore, the 500mm cross-section round billet of low-segregation high-purity low-carbon microalloyed steel is subjected to pile cooling or pit slow cooling, the pile cooling time is ≥20 hours, the pit slow cooling time is ≥48 hours, and the annular cooling cover can be opened only after the billet temperature is ≤250°C.

[0023] The advantages and positive effects of the present invention are:

[0024] The present invention simultaneously controls the content of each element and CEpcm, combines the strong and weak dual-process stirring (argon weak stirring, crystallizer electromagnetic stirring, and terminal electromagnetic stirring) in the process, controls the effective time of argon weak stirring, and the optimal superheat range of the whole process process matching to achieve low-segregation and high-purity production of 500mm continuous casting round billets, and achieves 500mm cross-section billet dimensional accuracy and excellent quality, which can meet the high-quality round billet requirements of 508mm outer diameter high dimensional accuracy seamless pipelines for underwater oil and gas development.
