Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of hot rolling, and particularly to a production method and application of a rare earth microalloyed 14Cr1MoR steel plate prepared by a continuous casting process. Background Art
[0002] In addition to meeting the requirements of GB / T 713-2014, the existing hydrogen-resistant 14Cr1MoR steel plate also needs to ensure that after simulated post-weld heat treatment, the mechanical properties at half of the plate thickness meet the standard requirements, and higher requirements are put forward for the low-temperature impact performance at -18°C, inclusions, harmful elements, gas content, etc.
[0003] The 14Cr1MoR steel plate for hydrogen-resistant equipment is mainly applied to industries or fields such as chemical engineering, coal chemical engineering, and petrochemical engineering. Due to its harsh service conditions, it is required to have high strength, good plasticity and toughness, excellent welding performance, and resistance to temper embrittlement. The 14Cr1MoR type steel belongs to the steel grades of GB713-2014 and is also a representative variety of Cr-Mo steel. It is a heat-resistant steel and hydrogen-resistant steel widely used in the world and is widely used in the manufacture of large-scale devices such as thermal power equipment, nuclear power equipment, and petroleum, chemical, and coal conversion equipment in contact with hydrogen.
[0004] At present, the coal-to-oil industry in China is developing rapidly, with many new project startups and equipment renovation projects, resulting in a large demand for this steel. Since the working environment of this steel is at high temperature, high pressure, and in contact with hydrogen, the service conditions are extremely harsh. Therefore, the design technical conditions generally require this steel to have high strength, good plasticity and toughness, excellent welding performance, and resistance to temper embrittlement. At the same time, with the development of the domestic petrochemical industry, equipment is gradually developing towards large-scale. Therefore, the developed hydrogen-resistant 14Cr1MoR steel plate has a great promoting effect on the development of the domestic petrochemical and coal chemical industries.
[0005] In view of the above factors, in order to meet the actual needs, a production method and application of a rare earth microalloyed 14Cr1MoR steel plate with a thickness of 10-60 mm prepared by a continuous casting process are developed. By adding rare earth, the low welding crack sensitivity is reduced. The produced 14Cr1MoR steel plate is superior to the steel plate produced by the normalizing + tempering process, and has excellent impact toughness at -20°C, which can meet the requirements of a harsh use environment. The elongation of the 14Cr1MoR steel plate prepared by this method is greater than 20%, the impact energy of the steel plate at 20°C can reach more than 170 J, and the welding crack sensitivity index Pcm is less than 0.30%.
