Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of submerged arc welding wire technology, specifically to a copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire. Background Technology
[0002] Hydrogen pipelines are a key component of hydrogen energy infrastructure construction, and their safety and economy depend heavily on the performance of pipeline steel and its welded joints.
[0003] Currently, X52 grade low-alloy high-strength pipeline steel is widely used in long-distance natural gas pipelines due to its good comprehensive performance, and its application in medium- and low-pressure hydrogen pipelines is being gradually explored. Because hydrogen has damage mechanisms such as hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) and stress-induced hydrogen cracking (SCC) on steel, the microstructure, mechanical properties, residual stress state, and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement in the welded joint area of hydrogen pipelines have become key research areas in engineering applications.
[0004] Currently, submerged arc welding is the primary welding method for X52 pipeline steel, especially in the manufacturing of straight seam welded pipes, where high heat input welding is often employed to improve welding efficiency and penetration depth, meeting the demands of continuous industrial production. However, high heat input welding tends to result in coarse weld joint microstructure and a wide heat-affected zone, thus significantly impacting the joint's microstructure, alloy element distribution, and metallurgical reactions. The selection of welding wire and flux combinations is crucial in this process, directly affecting the overall performance of the weld joint. Existing welding wires are mainly carbon-manganese type wires containing Mn and Si, typically paired with neutral or weakly basic fluxes to balance good process adaptability and strength matching. However, under high heat input welding conditions, their improvement in microstructure refinement and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement remains significantly limited. Existing welding wires and fluxes are mostly designed for conventional pipeline steel, lacking design concepts for microcrack propagation and microstructure control in hydrogen environments. Current technologies cannot effectively improve stability and safety in hydrogen environments while ensuring mechanical properties such as tensile strength and impact toughness.
[0005] Furthermore, submerged arc welding wires often undergo copper plating to improve arc stability, conductivity, and oxidation resistance. However, the copper plating process itself is complex and carries a significant environmental burden, increasing manufacturing costs and emission risks. The copper layer can easily form inclusions in the weld, affecting the purity of the joint metal and reducing its operational safety in a hydrogen environment. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The existing technology has the problem that conventional submerged arc welding wire for X52 pipeline steel cannot simultaneously achieve the mechanical properties and hydrogen resistance of the weld metal under high heat input welding conditions. To address the above technical problems, this invention provides a copper-free submerged arc welding wire for X52 pipeline steel, whose chemical composition does not contain the metallic elements Al, Cr, Ce, and Y. The chemical composition of the submerged arc welding wire, by mass percentage, includes the following components:
[0007] C: 0.03-0.06%; Mn: 0.4-1.0%; Si: 0.10-0.50%; Cu: 0.2-0.25%; P≤0.010%;
[0008] S ≤ 0.005%; Ni: 0.50-1.5%; Mo: 0.10-0.50%; V ≤ 0.03% and not 0; Ti: 0.05-0.15%; Nb ≤ 0.15% and not 0; B: 0.001-0.008%; balance Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0009] Preferably, the chemical composition of the copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire provided by the present invention must also ensure that V ≥ 0.016%.
[0010] Preferably, the chemical composition of the copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire provided by the present invention must also ensure that Nb≥0.1%.
[0011] Preferably, the chemical composition of the submerged arc welding wire for X52 pipeline steel without copper plating provided by the present invention must also ensure that Mn ≥ 0.7%.
[0012] Preferably, in the chemical composition of the copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire provided by the present invention, the mass percentage of B is 0.003-0.004%.
[0013] Preferably, the chemical composition of the copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire provided by the present invention must also ensure that Ti ≤ 0.1%.
[0014] Preferably, the chemical composition of the copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire provided by the present invention must also ensure that Ni ≥ 1%.
[0015] Preferably, the chemical composition of the submerged arc welding wire for X52 pipeline steel without copper plating provided by the present invention has a Ni mass percentage of 1.01-1.26%.
[0016] Preferably, the chemical composition of the submerged arc welding wire for X52 pipeline steel without copper plating provided by the present invention has a Mo mass percentage of 0.27-0.31%.
[0017] This invention provides a submerged arc welding wire for X52 pipeline steel without copper plating, with the following composition design concept:
[0018] (1) C is the main strengthening element in the weld metal microstructure. Excessive C content will affect the crack resistance and impact toughness of the weld metal. It is also a brittle element in the weld, which can easily cause the welding performance to deteriorate. This welding wire adopts a low carbon design and controls C at 0.03%-0.06%.
[0019] (2) Mn is a good deoxidizer and solid solution strengthening element, which can improve the strength and low-temperature impact toughness of the weld metal. However, with the increase of Mn content, the yield strength and tensile strength of the weld metal will increase. For X52 grade hydrogen pipeline steel, the addition of Mn content needs to be reasonably controlled. The Mn content of this welding wire needs to be controlled between 0.4% and 1.0%.
[0020] (3) Si mainly plays a role in deoxidation and strengthening in weld metal. Excessive content will affect the toughness of the weld, deteriorate weldability and increase weld brittleness. The Si content in this welding wire needs to be controlled between 0.10% and 0.50%.
[0021] (4) The lower the content of P and S as impurity elements, the better. Antibacterial corrosion welding wire requires the P and S elements to be controlled as low as possible. Therefore, the P content in the welding wire is controlled below 0.005% and the S content is controlled below 0.005%.
[0022] (5) Ni can lower the low-temperature brittle transition temperature of the weld metal while maintaining its good plasticity and toughness. The Ni content in this welding wire is best controlled between 0.5% and 1.5%.
[0023] (6) Mo promotes the formation of high dislocation density acicular ferrite AF, thereby improving the toughness of the weld metal. However, a high Mo content will weaken the plasticity and toughness of the weld. The Mo content of this welding wire needs to be controlled between 0.10-0.50%.
[0024] (7) Cu can promote the formation of a (FeCu)·S protective film on the steel surface. This protective film can prevent the hydrogen reaction from occurring, reduce the absorption of hydrogen atoms by the weld metal, and thus reduce the embrittlement effect of hydrogen atoms on X52 pipeline steel. The Cu content of this welding wire needs to be controlled between 0.10-0.30%.
[0025] (8) Ti can be used for high heat input welding in submerged arc welding. Ti has a good toughening effect and can form very fine dispersions in the weld, which can effectively prevent grain growth. The fine grains become the nucleation core of needle ferrite, which can further improve the toughness of the weld metal. The Ti content of this welding wire needs to be controlled between 0.05% and 0.15%.
[0026] (9) Nb helps to increase the content of acicular ferrite and fine granular bainitic ferrite in the weld, which can enhance the strength and toughness of the weld metal. After adding Nb, the nano-sized niobium carbides formed in the weld deposited metal can delay the generation of hydrogen-induced bubbles. The Nb content of this welding wire needs to be controlled below 0.15%.
[0027] (10) V can form nanoscale vanadium carbides, increase effective hydrogen traps, and reduce the hydrogen diffusion coefficient. The V content of this welding wire needs to be controlled below 0.03%.
[0028] (11) B can improve the hardenability and toughness of weld metal. In this welding wire, the content of B is best controlled within the range of 0.001-0.008%.
[0029] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0030] (1) The copper-free X52 pipeline steel submerged arc welding wire obtained by the present invention does not contain metallic elements Al, Cr, Ce and Y in its chemical composition. The chemical composition of the submerged arc welding wire, by mass percentage, includes basic elements such as C, Mn, Si, Cu, Mo and Fe, and also contains appropriate amounts of Ni, V, Ti, Nb and B elements. The obtained submerged arc welding wire does not require copper plating treatment and is suitable for high heat input welding of X52 hydrogen pipeline steel pipes. The welded joint has high impact toughness in an environment of -20℃.
[0031] (2) The present invention provides a submerged arc welding wire for X52 hydrogen pipeline steel. The submerged arc welding wire is equipped with alkaline flux SJ101MH. The welded joint has good resistance to HIC and good tensile properties under slow strain rate in hydrogen environment. It has good hydrogen resistance and meets the service requirements of X52 hydrogen pipeline. Detailed implementation method:
