Description

[0002] Austenitic stainless steel is a type of iron-based alloy mainly composed of chromium and nickel, with a unique austenite crystal structure, in which the chromium content is generally above 16% and the nickel content is generally above 8%. The excellent corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel is one of its most outstanding characteristics. The chromium element will cause a dense Cr2O3 passivation film to form on its surface, effectively preventing the corrosive medium from corroding the matrix, thereby improving its corrosion resistance in corrosive media. At the same time, austenitic stainless steel also has good high temperature stability and mechanical properties. Therefore, austenitic stainless steel has been widely used in many fields such as chemical industry, marine engineering, medical equipment, and aerospace.

[0075] w[%Nb]=m×(w[%Cr]+w[%Mo]+w[%N]) (Formula 2);

[0080] The highly corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel provided in the embodiment of the present invention can form a highly corrosion-resistant niobium-containing Z phase during the solidification process by adding Nb elements to the N-containing austenitic stainless steel. According to the heterogeneous nucleation theory, the low-melting-point precipitated phase can precipitate with the high-melting-point inclusion as the core, thereby forming a structure in which the niobium-containing phase encapsulates the inclusion. This encapsulation structure can isolate the inclusions from the corrosive environment, effectively block the corrosion caused by the inclusions, and improve the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel. The addition of rare earths forms fine dispersed rare earth inclusions in the molten steel during deep deoxidation and deep desulfurization, providing more nucleation sites for the heterogeneous nucleation of the niobium-containing phase, and promoting the formation of the niobium-containing phase encapsulating the inclusion structure. The rare earth cations released by the dissolution of a few rare earth inclusions that are not encapsulated by the niobium-containing phase in the corrosive environment can also inhibit the combination of corrosive ions with the matrix, thereby slowing down the expansion and extension of pitting corrosion. However, the hot working and heat treatment processes may promote the precipitation and growth of the niobium-containing phase at the grain boundary, which has an adverse effect on the mechanical properties. To solve this problem, the present invention adds a trace amount of B element to the steel, utilizes the B element to preferentially segregate at the grain boundaries and occupy the grain boundaries, reduces the precipitation sites of the niobium-containing phase at the grain boundaries, and inhibits the precipitation of the niobium-containing phase at the grain boundaries, thereby achieving the purpose of ensuring good mechanical properties.

[0081] The high corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel provided in the embodiment of the present invention gives full play to the synergistic effect of the three elements of niobium, rare earth and boron, puts on "niobium armor" for inclusions, and blocks the propagation and extension of pitting corrosion. In the high corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel, the proportion of small-sized inclusions less than 1 μm is ≥75%, the proportion of large-sized inclusions greater than 5 μm is ≤1%, the average diameter of the inclusions is ≤1.5 μm, the proportion of enclosed inclusions in the total inclusions is ≥80%, and the average diameter of the niobium-containing phase of the unenclosed inclusions is less than 0.7 μm. Compared with the commercial austenitic stainless steel of the same grade, the corrosion rate in the same environment is reduced by 1.5 mm·a -1 ~3.6mm·a -1 The pitting potential is increased by 500mV to 800mV, which significantly improves the corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel while ensuring that the mechanical properties are slightly improved in strength and toughness compared with the same grade of commercial austenitic stainless steel. It effectively solves the corrosion failure problem caused by inclusions, thereby meeting the high corrosion resistance requirements of austenitic stainless steel in the fields of marine engineering, aerospace, etc.

Through a suitable solution treatment system, further precipitation of niobium-containing phases is promoted to encapsulate inclusions, ensuring that the grains recover completely without excessive growth.

[0108] In summary, the highly corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel provided in the embodiment of the present invention utilizes rare earth to refine and modify inclusions, promoting the corrosion-resistant niobium-containing phase to encapsulate inclusions; a small amount of rare earth inclusions not encapsulated by the niobium-containing phase form rare earth ions after dissolution, which can reduce the carrier density of chloride ions and inhibit the nucleation of pitting corrosion; at the same time, niobium and rare earth can also participate in the formation of passivation film. Adding boron elements that are easily segregated at grain boundaries to steel can inhibit the precipitation and growth of niobium-containing phases at grain boundaries, while improving corrosion resistance and ensuring good mechanical properties. Thereby meeting the requirements for high corrosion resistance of key stainless steel materials in the fields of chemical industry (corrosion-resistant storage tanks, heat exchangers, etc.), medical equipment (surgical instruments, disinfection instrument housings, etc.), marine engineering (submarine oil and gas pipelines, key structural components of ships, etc.), aerospace (turbine blades, fuel nozzles, etc.).

[0109] In the method for preparing high corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel provided by the embodiment of the present invention, Al is first used for pre-deoxidation, which can improve the deoxidation efficiency of subsequent Mg deoxidation, is beneficial to improve the cleanliness of molten steel, and improve the rare earth recovery rate. Rare earth is preferably added to the molten steel in the form of rare earth inoculant, which is more conducive to the formation of fine dispersed rare earth inclusions, and provides more effective nucleation sites for the subsequent heterogeneous nucleation of niobium-containing phases. It is preferred to feed niobium iron cored wire for niobium microalloying, and control the appropriate cooling intensity during the cooling process, while ensuring that the niobium-containing phase fully wraps the inclusions, while avoiding the deterioration of the mechanical properties caused by the excessive growth of the niobium-containing phase. During the casting process, in the first half of the high-temperature interval when the niobium-containing phase is precipitated and the harmful phase has not yet precipitated, a lower cooling intensity is used so that the niobium-containing phase precipitates and wraps the inclusions; in the second half of the low-temperature section, the cooling intensity is rapidly increased to accelerate the cooling to prevent the precipitation of harmful phases and the excessive growth of the niobium-containing phase. Subsequent heat processing and heat treatment processes can fully refine the grains, promote the precipitation of niobium-containing phases to further wrap inclusions, break up large-sized niobium-containing phases that are not wrapped in inclusions, and improve the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the material.
