Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of special steel smelting, and in particular relates to a high-strength Q490RW steel plate for large-line energy welding and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, with the substantial increase in my country's oil consumption and the development of the petrochemical industry, the manufacturing of large-scale storage tanks for storing crude oil has also developed rapidly. Therefore, there is an urgent demand for high-strength and high-toughness Q490RW steel plates that can be welded with high line energy in a -20°C environment for the manufacture of such equipment. Traditionally, the steel grades used for such equipment are imported SPV490Q or domestic grades 12MnNiVR. However, due to the high price and long cycle of the imported product SPV490Q, it is greatly restricted. The maximum welding line energy that can be used for the domestic grade 12MnNiVR is only ≤100KJ / CM. The construction cycle of equipment such as crude oil storage tanks is long and the efficiency is low. Therefore, with the construction of more and more large crude oil storage tanks, there is an urgent need to develop domestically produced steel plates that can use high line energy welding technology. According to the design requirements, there is an urgent need for a steel grade that can meet the requirements of welding line energy > 100KJ / CM ~ 200KJ / CM, and the mechanical properties of the welding heat-affected zone are: -20℃ impact absorption energy KV2 ≥ 80J, while yield strength ≥ 490MPa and tensile strength ≥ 610MPa, for manufacturing crude oil storage tanks with a capacity of ≥ 100,000 cubic meters.

[0003] The technical quality difficulties of Q490RW steel plate, a high-strength container steel plate for high-energy input welding, are mainly manifested in: 1. Under the premise of lower carbon content and lower alloy content requirements, it is difficult to ensure that the mechanical properties of steel in the delivery state: yield strength ≥490Mpa and tensile strength ≥610MPa, -20℃ low-temperature impact absorption energy KV2 ≥80J meet the technical requirements; 2. When the welding line energy of the steel plate is greater than 100KJ / CM~200KJ / CM, the mechanical properties of the welding heat-affected zone are: -20℃ low-temperature impact absorption energy KV2 ≥ 80J, yield strength ≥ 490Mpa, and tensile strength ≥ 610MPa. It is difficult to meet the technical requirements. 3. All mechanical properties of the steel plate (including tensile properties and low-temperature impact absorption energy) meet the requirements, that is, the steel has a good match between strength and toughness, and it is difficult to meet the technical requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a -20°C low-temperature steel Q490RW steel plate with a relatively simple production process, relatively low precious alloy content and high strength in response to the above-mentioned existing technology, and also relates to a production method of the steel plate.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems is: a high-strength Q490RW steel plate for high-line energy welding containers, the chemical composition of the steel plate is as follows by mass percentage: C: ≤0.12%, Si: 0.15%~0.40%, Mn: 1.20%~1.60%, P≤0.012%, S≤0.005%, Ni: 0.15%~0.40%, V: 0.02%~0.06%, Ti: 0.002%~0.03%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0006] The maximum thickness of the steel plate is 50 mm.

[0007] The steel plate of the present invention adopts a chemical composition design, wherein appropriate amounts of C and Mn are solid solution strengthened; a small amount of V is added to refine the grains, and its carbonitride plays a dispersion strengthening role; titanium forms titanium oxide in the steel, which plays a role in pinning grain boundaries during high-heat welding and preventing grain growth in the heat-affected zone; Ca spheroidizes and modifies oxygen inclusions in the steel, making the casting process easier and reducing the damage caused by inclusions to the steel; and Ni improves the low-temperature toughness of the steel plate.

[0008] The roles of the components and contents in the steel plate in the present invention are: C: 0.06%~0.12%. Carbon has a significant effect on the yield strength, tensile strength and welding performance of steel. An appropriate amount of carbon content can improve the hardenability of the steel plate. It is the most direct and economical element to improve the strength of the steel plate, thereby eliminating the use of precious alloying elements Cr and Mo. However, too high a carbon content will affect the welding performance and toughness of the steel. Therefore, the carbon content range of 0.06%~0.12% is determined based on comprehensive considerations to ensure excellent mechanical properties and production economy.

[0009] Ti: 0.002% to 0.03%. Ti can increase the critical point of steel, form stable TiC particles with C, refine austenite grains, and form fine titanium oxide particles with oxygen during the deoxidation process. During high-energy-input welding, it pins the grain boundaries in the heat-affected zone to avoid coarsening of grains and improve the low-temperature impact energy of the heat-affected zone. Ti plays a key role in the high-energy-input welding performance of steel.

[0010] Si: 0.15%~0.40%, acts as a reducing agent and deoxidizer in the steelmaking process. At the same time, Si can also play a role in solid solution strengthening. However, when the content is too high, it will cause the toughness of the steel to decrease and reduce the welding performance of the steel.

[0011] Mn: 1.20%~1.60%. Manganese is low in cost and can increase the toughness, strength and hardness of steel, improve the hardenability of steel, and improve the hot working performance of steel; however, too high a manganese content can easily cause central segregation in thick steel plates.

[0012] P≤0.012%, S≤0.005%: In general, phosphorus and sulfur are harmful elements in steel, increasing the brittleness of the steel; phosphorus makes the welding performance worse, reduces the plasticity, and makes the cold bending performance worse; sulfur reduces the ductility and toughness of the steel, causing cracks during forging and rolling; therefore, the content of phosphorus and sulfur in the steel should be reduced as much as possible.

[0013] Al: 0.020~0.060%, AL is a strong deoxidizing element, after Si deoxidization, AL is used for final deoxidization, reducing the oxygen and oxide inclusion content in the steel, and improving the comprehensive performance of the steel; the total AL content of 0.020% or more is a symbol of fine-grained steel.

[0014] V: 0.02%~0.06%, the addition of vanadium is to promote the grain refinement of the rolling microstructure of the steel, which can improve the strength and toughness at the same time; vanadium can effectively refine the microstructure by inhibiting austenite recrystallization during controlled rolling, and strengthen the matrix through precipitation; it can reduce the overheating sensitivity and temper brittleness of the steel; during the welding process, the aggregation and precipitation of vanadium atoms can hinder the coarsening of austenite grains during heating, and ensure that a relatively fine heat-affected zone structure is obtained after welding, thereby improving the welding performance.

[0015] Ni: 0.15%~0.40%, nickel can improve the hardenability of the steel plate, especially in improving the toughness of the steel plate at low temperature, which can significantly lower the ductile-brittle transition temperature. Ni only forms a solid solution in the steel, and the solid solution strengthening is not obvious, mainly improving the toughness of the material during plastic deformation.

[0016] Ca: 0.001%~0.030%, calcium not only has good deoxidizing and desulfurizing ability, but also can change the long strip high-melting-point oxides and high-melting-point sulfides in the steel into spherical low-melting-point calcium salt complex inclusions with sharp angles, which can easily form crack sources at the sharp corners under low-temperature use conditions, causing the steel to crack and fail; adding an appropriate amount of calcium can improve the low-temperature toughness of the steel plate, but excessive calcium can form excess oxides in the steel, which can damage the performance of the steel, so the content of calcium must be strictly controlled.

[0017] The purpose of the present application is also to provide a production method of high-strength container steel plate Q490RW for large heat input welding, so as to improve the strength and impact toughness level of the heat-affected zone of the steel plate under the low-temperature use environment of-20 DEG C after large heat input welding.

[0018] The technical scheme of the manufacturing method of the high-strength container steel plate Q490RW for large heat input welding of the present application comprises the following steps: (1) Smelting: the molten steel is first smelted by an electric furnace or a converter, and then sent to an LF refining furnace for refining; after the molten steel is deoxidized, desulfurized, and the alloy composition meets the requirements, it is transferred to an RH furnace for vacuum degassing treatment; after the vacuum degassing treatment, Ca wire and Ti wire are added, and soft blowing is performed to make the composition of the molten steel uniform, and then the ladle is lifted and poured.

[0019] (2) Casting: produced by slab continuous casting machine, the continuous casting soft reduction is 10-18 mm.

[0020] (3) Rolling: rolled by adopting two-stage rolling process of recrystallization zone + non-recrystallization zone, the intermediate air cooling thickness is 1.5 times to 4 times of the thickness of the finished plate, the first stage rolling temperature is 930-1150 DEG C; the second stage rolling temperature is 800-950 DEG C, to obtain the steel plate. (4) Steel plate post-rolling water cooling: after the steel plate is rolled, it is rapidly water cooled, set as ACC mode, the water quantity is automatically controlled, the steel plate water inlet temperature is 650-800 DEG C, and the steel plate water outlet red return temperature is 450-650 DEG C.

[0021] (5) Steel plate heat treatment: the steel plate is subjected to quenching + tempering heat treatment, the quenching temperature is 880-930 DEG C, the holding time is 1.5 min / mm-3.0 min / mm, the steel plate is water cooled to room temperature after being discharged from the furnace; then the steel plate is subjected to tempering heat treatment, the tempering temperature is 620-680 DEG C, the holding time is 3.5 min / mm-5.0 min / mm, the steel plate is air cooled to room temperature after being discharged from the furnace, to obtain the steel plate finished product.

[0022] The primary purpose of step (1) is to obtain the specified chemical composition, and the specified contents of C, Mn, Si, P, S, Ni, V, Ti, Al and Ca jointly ensure that the steel plate can still maintain high impact toughness at -20 DEG C and yield strength and tensile strength after welding with a large linear energy of >100 KJ / CM-200 KJ / CM. Meanwhile, through step 1, the contents of P, S, N, H, O and inclusions in the steel are controlled at a very low level, which is also beneficial to the improvement of low temperature impact toughness at -20 DEG C.

[0023] The casting temperature in step (2) is 1535-1565 DEG C, and the slab is cast.

[0024] The intermediate air cooling thickness in step (3) is 1.5 times to 4 times of the thickness of the finished plate, and two-stage rolling is adopted.

[0025] The steel plate post-rolling water cooling in step (4) is set as ACC mode (rapid cooling mode), the cooling speed is 10-20 DEG C / s, the steel plate water inlet temperature is 650-800 DEG C, and the steel plate water outlet red return temperature is 450-650 DEG C.

[0026] In step (5), the steel plate is subjected to quenching and tempering heat treatment at a quenching temperature of 880°C to 930°C and a holding time of 1.5 min / mm to 3.0 min / mm. The steel plate is then water-cooled to room temperature after being removed from the furnace. The steel plate is then subjected to tempering heat treatment at a tempering temperature of 620°C to 680°C and a holding time of 3.5 min / mm to 5.0 min / mm. The steel plate is then air-cooled to room temperature after being removed from the furnace to obtain a finished steel plate. Formulating the optimal heat treatment process for the steel plate can achieve the optimal microstructure type and proportion distribution of the steel plate, and further refine the grain size, thereby facilitating high strength and excellent -20°C low-temperature toughness.

[0027] The chemical composition design of the steel plate of the present invention adopts the technology of chemically reacting titanium and oxygen in molten steel to form titanium oxide, the appropriate C content is combined with reasonable matching of Mn, Ni and V, and the Ca element is used to perform spheroidization and modification treatment on inclusions. At the same time, a controlled rolling and controlled cooling process and a quenching + tempering heat treatment process are adopted. This can ensure that the mechanical properties of the steel plate are good under the condition of relatively low usage of precious alloys, so that the steel plate has good organization, comprehensive properties and welding properties, thereby achieving excellent low-temperature toughness while taking into account the economic efficiency of production and enhancing market competitiveness.

[0028] The production method of the steel plate of the present invention adopts a controlled rolling and controlled cooling process, which solves the problem of coarse and uneven grains of the steel plate and has excellent comprehensive performance; it can also ensure that the low-temperature impact absorption energy KV2 of the steel plate in the heat-affected zone of -20°C after high-line energy welding is ≥80J, and can be used for the manufacture of various pressure vessels and storage tanks that require high-line energy welding, and has broad application prospects; the production method of the steel plate of the present invention adopts a controlled rolling and controlled cooling process and simultaneously undergoes quenching + tempering treatment to obtain a low-carbon bainite structure, and the steel plate structure is uniform and fine.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention are: The present invention adopts a low-carbon and low-carbon equivalent design, adds approximately C: ≤0.12%, Si: 0.15%-0.40%, Mn: 1.20%-1.60%, P≤0.012%, S≤0.005%, Ni: 0.15%-0.40%, V: 0.02%-0.06%, and Ti: 0.002%-0.03%, and uses fine titanium oxide particles to pin grain boundaries to prevent grain boundary migration in the welding heat-affected zone and to feed Ca to spheroidize inclusions. A controlled rolling and controlled cooling process is used to refine the metallographic structure. A suitable quenching and tempering process is used to further refine the metallographic structure and obtain a reasonable low-carbon bainite structure, thereby ensuring that high strength and excellent low-temperature toughness match. The low-carbon bainite structure of the steel is used to ensure the high strength of the steel, and the fine titanium oxide particles in the steel are used to pin grain boundaries to prevent grain boundary migration during recrystallization after high-input welding, thereby avoiding coarsening of grains in the welding heat-affected zone and improving the low-temperature toughness of the welding heat-affected zone. The low-temperature steel Q490RW steel plate developed according to this process has a maximum thickness of 50mm and can meet the following mechanical properties of the welding heat-affected zone when the welding line energy is greater than 100KJ / CM~200KJ / CM: -20℃ low-temperature impact absorption energy KV2≥80J, yield strength≥490Mpa, and tensile strength≥610MPa.
