Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of low alloy steel, and in particular to a method for improving large-section mechanical properties of low alloy steel A182F22. Background Art
[0002] A182F22 alloy steel is well-known for its excellent corrosion resistance. It can work stably for a long time in low temperature, high pressure and corrosive media environment without obvious corrosion or performance degradation. This material is often used to manufacture key components of oil production equipment, such as valve bodies and casings. In deep-sea environments, these components need to withstand low temperature, high pressure and corrosive oil and gas erosion. Its excellent corrosion resistance and comprehensive mechanical properties make it an ideal material choice.
[0003] For example, the heat treatment process method for improving the mechanical properties of ZG25CrNiMo cast low alloy steel with the authorization announcement number CN202010704083.8 and the publication date 20201023 belongs to the field of metal heat treatment technology. The ZG25CrNiMo cast low alloy steel is first kept at 940-950℃ for 2 hours and air-cooled; the second time is kept at 890-900℃ for 2 hours and high temperature normalizing and air-cooling; 650-670℃ annealing for 5-6 hours, furnace cooling to 500℃, air-cooling out of the furnace; then kept at 870-880℃ for 4 hours, quenched in 18-23℃ water, air-cooled out of water at less than 100℃; finally kept at 590-620℃ for 8h for high temperature tempering. The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the microstructure of the test steel under the process of twice high-temperature normalizing + annealing + quenching and tempering is a mixed structure of troostite + a very small amount of proeutectoid ferrite; through comparison of mechanical property test results, it can be seen that ZG25CrNiMo cast low alloy steel has the best low-temperature impact performance.
[0004] The wall thickness of conventional F22 forgings exceeds 500 mm, and the core strength is low, resulting in unqualified performance of large-section forgings, which often cannot meet the requirements of deep-sea construction. Therefore, it is urgent to design a method to improve the mechanical properties of large-section low-alloy steel A182F22 to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a method for improving the large-section mechanical properties of low alloy steel A182F22 to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A method for improving the large-section mechanical properties of low alloy steel A182F22 comprises the following steps:
[0008] S1. Raw material selection: Select appropriate raw materials according to smelting requirements and process the raw materials;
[0009] S2. Raw material smelting: pouring the selected raw materials into a smelting furnace for smelting, adding a catalyst during smelting, and preparing the raw materials into steel ingots;
[0010] S3. Open forging: Place the steel ingot in a heating furnace for heating and forging, and ensure the temperature during forging;
[0011] S4. Sawing: Put the blank into the sawing equipment, operate the sawing equipment, and the sawing equipment will saw the blank;
[0012] S5. Forging: The sawn forgings are put back into the heating furnace, and the temperature is raised for forging. After forging, they are buried in sand for slow cooling.
[0013] S6. Preliminary heat treatment: The forged forgings are subjected to the first normalizing and tempering treatment, and then buried in sand for cooling;
[0014] S7. Rough machining: Place the cooled forging into the machining equipment, use a turning tool to machine the forging surface to remove the oxide scale, and use MT to inspect the surface defects after machining;
[0015] S8. Heat treatment: Place the forgings back into the heating furnace for normalizing, quenching and tempering to obtain high-strength forgings.
[0016] Furthermore, the raw material composition in step S1 is as follows: C: 0.14-0.15%, Mn: 0.50-0.60%, P: ≤0.010%, S: ≤0.005%, Si: ≤0.50%, Cr: 2.40-2.50%, Ni: 0.45-0.50%, Mo: 1.10-1.13%, Cu: ≤0.25%, As: ≤0.010%, Sn: ≤0.010%, Sb: ≤0.010%, V: ≤0.03%, gas elements [H] ≤2PPm, [O] ≤25PPm, [N] ≤0.012, and the remaining elements are Fe and impurity elements.
[0017] Furthermore, in step S2, the catalyst is iron oxide, and the mass of the steel ingot prepared in step S2 is 6 tons.
[0018] Furthermore, in the step S3, during the blanking manufacturing process, the furnace loading temperature is ≤300°C, the heating rate is ≤100°C / h, and the subsequent temperature is averaged at 650°C for 2 hours, and then heated to 1240°C after two hours, and the final forging temperature is >850°C. Before forging in the step S3, the anvil and other tooling need to be preheated, and the forging ratio of each fire during blanking is controlled to be >1.5, and the blank is drawn to 700 square meters. After forging, the furnace needs to be cooled to room temperature.
[0019] Further, the step S3 of blank forging is described as follows, and specifically includes the following steps:
[0020] First fire: After heating the billet for 6 hours, transfer it to a 2000-ton hydraulic press, roughen it axially to a height of 800mm, draw it to a square of 700mm, chamfer it slightly, forge the billet at a temperature of 850-1230℃, forge ratio>1.5, and reheat for no less than 3 hours;
[0021] Second fire: Roughen to a height of 800mm, draw to 700mm square, control the forging temperature at 850-1230℃, forging ratio>1.5, trim and shape, then cool to room temperature.
[0022] Furthermore, the sawing length in step S4 is 800-1000 mm.
[0023] Furthermore, the forging process of step S5 is as follows:
[0024] Place a 800mm long forging in a heating furnace with a charging temperature of ≤300℃, a heating rate of ≤100℃ / h, a heating temperature of 1200℃, a final forging temperature of>850℃, and a large deformation in the range of 850℃-1000℃. After forging, bury the forging in sand and cool it slowly.
[0025] Furthermore, in the forging process of step S5, the last fire has a large deformation at a temperature of 850-1000°C, and the forging ratio of this process needs to be greater than 2.
[0026] Furthermore, the normalizing + tempering step in step S6 is specifically as follows:
[0027] First normalizing: heating to 950℃ at ≤150℃ / h, keeping at this temperature for ≥14h, then air cooling to room temperature;
[0028] First tempering: heat to 650-670℃ at ≤100℃ / h, keep warm for >28h, then air cool.
[0029] Furthermore, the processing process of step S7 is as follows:
[0030] Secondary normalizing, the temperature is lower than the first normalizing. During normalizing, the temperature is raised to 945℃ at ≤150℃ / h, kept at this temperature for ≥14h, then air-cooled to room temperature, shot blasted to remove the oxide scale, and subsequently cooled with brine. After cooling, the surface of the forging is cleaned;
[0031] During quenching, the temperature is raised to 650℃ at a rate of ≤120℃ / h and kept at that temperature for 5h, and then the temperature is continued to be raised to 935℃ at the same rate and kept at that temperature for more than 14 hours. The brine is cooled to room temperature, the product is stirred, and the cooling rate is increased. The water temperature of the quenching pool does not exceed 20℃ throughout the process. After the forgings are cooled to room temperature, they are cleaned and tempered in time;
[0032] During tempering, the temperature is raised to 660℃ at ≤100℃ / h and kept for >28h, then water-cooled. When the forging cools to room temperature, repeat the above-mentioned tempering process once more. After tempering twice, water cooling is used.
[0033] In the above technical solution, the present invention provides a method for improving the large-section mechanical properties of low alloy steel A182F22, and the beneficial effects are:
[0034] (1) The present invention makes the forging structure more compact by forging blanking and forging forming, preheats the anvil and controls the temperature at each step in the forging process, delays the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the forging, reduces the cracking tendency of the forging, and no obvious forging cracks are generated on the surface; in the forging forming stage, the forging ratio of the last fire is greater than 2, the grains are refined, and no defects are found in UT detection; the forging is normalized twice, and the oxide scale is removed before quenching to ensure a more uniform structure, and salt water is used as the quenching liquid so that the entire forging can be quickly quenched; the 700mm large-section forging produced by this process, after heat treatment, has a performance far superior to that of conventional forging + heat treatment forgings.
[0035] (2) The present invention can effectively improve the performance of forgings with a wall thickness of more than 700 mm, increase the yield strength by 15%, increase the tensile strength by 10%, increase the elongation by 15%, increase the end shrinkage by 20%, and increase the -46°C impact performance by 20%, effectively solving the problem of unqualified performance of large-section forgings.
