Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical process technology, specifically relating to a low-cost, high-strength, high-toughness 770MPa seamless steel pipe and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] The boom of a hydraulic crawler crane is a key core component. The boom is welded and assembled from 3m-12m thick-walled seamless steel pipes, with a maximum lifting capacity of 1200 tons, a lifting height of 226m, and a maximum working radius of 164m. Therefore, the requirements for the steel pipes are extremely high, demanding high strength, high and low temperature toughness, and excellent weldability.

[0003] High-end lifting equipment tubing exhibits two significant characteristics, which also represent the key focus and challenges in its development. First, there is the ongoing requirement for lightweight structures. Under the premise of meeting structural performance and safety requirements, high-strength steel with high strength and high toughness is developed to reduce the design cross-section, lower the self-weight, and achieve the same load-bearing strength, thereby reducing steel consumption and additional loads on components. Second, there is the development of weldable boom tubing to improve the safety requirements of welded structures. The boom of a crawler crane is a spatial truss structure welded from four main chords and web members. During crane operation, the truss boom experiences complex forces; the boom members as a whole are under compression, but the main web chords bear a combined tensile and compressive load. The welding performance and quality of the joint welds at these points play a crucial role in the crane's safety. Currently, the boom tubing standard GB / T30584-2014 specifies that 770MPa boom tubing requires the addition of alloying and microalloying elements Mo, W, Nb, V, Ti, and Al to achieve precipitation strengthening and grain refinement, while adding Mn, Cr, and Ni elements to meet the requirements of tempering processes and low-temperature performance. The standard also specifies that the low-temperature impact energy is based on -20°C conditions, and cannot meet the low-temperature toughness requirements at -40°C and below. Currently, customers require the low-temperature impact energy to be based on -40°C conditions, while also meeting welding requirements for different strengths, which results in a high amount of expensive alloys being used, leading to increased costs. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the use of expensive alloys in existing 770MPa grade steel pipes for crawler crane booms increases costs in order to improve overall performance. The invention provides a low-cost, high-strength, and high-toughness 770MPa grade seamless steel pipe and its manufacturing method.

[0005] A low-cost, high-strength, and high-toughness 770MPa grade seamless steel pipe has the following composition by weight percentage: C: 0.10-0.18%; Si: 0.20-0.35%; Mn: 1.10-1.70%; Cr: 0.40-0.60%; Mo: 0.20-0.40%; Ni: 0.30-0.60%; V: 0.030-0.070%; Nb: 0.015-0.025%; Ti: 0.010-0.025%; Al≤0.03%; P≤0.012%; S≤0.008%; N≤0.007%; total microalloying ≤1.75%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0006] The above-mentioned method for manufacturing a low-cost, high-strength, and high-toughness 770MPa grade seamless steel pipe is carried out according to the following steps:

[0007] I. The raw material was designed according to the weight percentage composition of low-cost, high-strength, and high-toughness 770MPa grade seamless steel pipe: C: 0.10-0.18%; Si: 0.20-0.35%; Mn: 1.10-1.70%; Cr: 0.40-0.60%; Mo: 0.20-0.40%; Ni: 0.30-0.60%; V: 0.030-0.070%; Nb: 0.015-0.025%; Ti: 0.010-0.025%; Al≤0.03%; P≤0.012%; S≤0.008%; N≤0.007%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0008] 2. The raw materials are loaded into the converter for smelting. The converter endpoint control meets the following requirements: C≤0.04%; P≤0.006%; tapping temperature≥1610℃.

[0009] III. Converter tapping and ladle deoxidation and alloying: During the tapping process, bottom blowing argon gas is used at a flow rate of 0.5 NL / min / t steel. Alloy and refining slag are added during each tapping. After the alloy is added, lime is added with the steel stream to complete the tapping. The steel is then transferred to the LF refining station, where ferromolybdenum, ferroniobium and nickel plates are added for alloying. When the temperature reaches 1580-1600℃, silicon-barium alloy is added for deep deoxidation. Two minutes later, the LF refining station is powered off and the steel is tapped. Ferrotitanium is added for micro-titanium treatment.

[0010] IV. After the above micro-titanium treatment, the steel is refined and then a ladle covering agent is added to evenly cover the entire slag surface. Argon gas is adjusted for soft blowing. The argon gas flow rate during soft blowing is 0.2-0.5 NL / min / t steel, and the soft blowing time is ≥15min.

[0011] 5. After soft blowing, the molten steel is transferred to the continuous casting station. The continuous casting process adopts full-process protective pouring to continuously cast the molten steel into continuous casting billets. Then, the continuous casting billets are segmented and transferred to the slow cooling pit for slow cooling. The continuous casting billets that are slowly cooled out of the pit are subjected to surface inspection and finishing. Qualified continuous casting billets are transferred to the steel rolling workshop for tube sawing. After sawing, they are heated, pierced, and rolled. Then, they are subjected to micro-tension reduction or sizing, and air cooling on a cooling bed. The temperature is monitored online during air cooling on the cooling bed. After that, they are sawed, and samples are taken for inspection and non-destructive testing.

[0012] VI. Heat treatment: Quenching is performed using a critical quenching process, followed by tempering;

[0013] VII. Subsequent Inspection and Warehousing: After heat treatment, straightening, non-destructive testing, sampling inspection, surface inspection, and marking and warehousing are carried out in sequence to obtain low-cost, high-strength, and high-toughness 770MPa grade seamless steel pipes, thus completing the manufacturing method described above.

[0014] This invention develops a production technology for low-alloy high-strength 770MPa grade seamless steel pipes, which combines multi-alloy reinforcement, micro-alloying, controlled rolling and air cooling, and critical quenching and tempering processes to achieve the goal of economical, high-strength, high-toughness, and easy-to-weld steel pipes.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention: This invention provides a method for preparing 770MPa grade, low-cost, high-strength, high-toughness, and easily weldable seamless steel pipes for crawler crane booms. While reducing the amount of precious alloys used, it employs new alloy design principles, combined with smelting processes, hot rolling processes, tempering processes, and different production processes tailored to different wall thicknesses of seamless steel pipes, thereby improving the overall performance of the product.

[0016] In terms of chemical composition, a multi-element alloy + micro-alloy strengthening mechanism and a narrow composition control mechanism for alloying elements were achieved; in the rolling process, key temperature control was achieved to ensure the stability of the seamless steel pipe structure; and in the quenching and tempering process, key temperature and cooling rate control were achieved to ensure the performance stability of the seamless steel pipe.

[0017] Key performance indicators: yield strength ≥770MPa, tensile strength 820~1000MPa, elongation after fracture ≥15%, longitudinal impact energy at -20℃ ≥70J, longitudinal impact energy at -40℃ ≥60J, tempered microstructure, grain size grade 9.0, no cracks detected by 180° bending test.

[0018] Specialized boom tubing requires high strength, ductility, and toughness, along with good weldability. Based on calculations using the International Welding Association's carbon equivalent and weld crack sensitivity coefficient, reducing the carbon content in the alloy can effectively optimize weldability, improve impact toughness, and low-temperature resistance; generally, it should not exceed 0.30%. To achieve lightweight design goals, solid solution strengthening is achieved using Cr and Mo elements to enhance material strength. Added V, Nb, Ti, or a combination of these elements form stable carbides in the steel, providing dispersion strengthening. Controlling the N content and microstructure transformation temperature reduces nitride precipitation and refines the grain size of the base metal and weld, improving and stabilizing weldability. For equipment operating in cold regions, Ni is considered to improve low-temperature toughness. Reducing the content of harmful elements and gases such as S and P through pure steel smelting processes improves the overall material performance, while eliminating the precious metal W reduces alloy costs.
