Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of seamless steel pipe forming technology, specifically relating to a production process for T250 seamless steel pipe. Background Technology

[0002] T250 steel uses carbon-free / micro-carbon martensite as its matrix and is strengthened through the dispersion precipitation of intermetallic compounds of elements such as titanium and molybdenum. It possesses ultra-high strength and toughness, a simple heat treatment process, and minimal deformation. It maintains stable performance even in high-temperature and corrosive environments (such as marine engineering), making it suitable for extreme working conditions. Furthermore, it is 20%-30% cheaper than traditional cobalt-containing martensitic aging steels (such as C250), making it a core material in cutting-edge fields such as aerospace and military equipment. Currently, key components have been domestically produced, and its application in emerging fields such as nuclear fusion devices and hypersonic vehicles will be further expanded.

[0003] In existing technologies, T250 steel is manufactured using an electric arc furnace + ladle refining + vacuum degassing process. This process inevitably introduces or generates a large number of inclusions (oxides, sulfides, silicates, etc.) due to the presence of oxide slag and reducing slag during the electric arc furnace smelting process. Complex ladle refining (such as LF, VD) is required to improve purity, but the effect is still limited. Secondly, the overall smelting environment is carried out under non-vacuum conditions, and the gases in the environment inevitably react chemically with the alloy, resulting in defects such as porosity and looseness in the produced bars. Furthermore, it is difficult to control impurity elements during the smelting process, resulting in reduced purity and greater component segregation, leading to poor bar density, reduced mechanical properties, and failure to meet the material requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a production process for T250 seamless steel pipes, so as to reduce component segregation by improving metal purity, optimize mechanical properties, and improve product quality by reducing defects such as porosity and looseness.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A production process for T250 seamless steel pipes, wherein the steel composition of the seamless steel pipes, by mass percentage, is: C: ≤0.007%, Si: ≤0.12%, Mn: ≤0.13%, P: ≤0.01%, S: ≤0.007%, Ni: 17.8~20.2%, Cr: ≤0.60%, Co: ≤0.60%, Mo: 2.65~3.35%, Ti: 1.1~1.7%, Al: 0.03~0.17%, Cu: ≤0.60%, O: ≤0.0025%, N: ≤0.0025%, with the remainder being Fe;

[0007] The properties of seamless steel pipes are as follows: hardness ≤34HRC, grain size ≥5, tensile strength ≥1760MPa, yield strength ≥1660MPa (Rp0.2), elongation ≥6.0%, reduction of area ≥45.0%, and average full-size impact energy of longitudinal Charpy V-notch at room temperature ≥14J.

[0008] The outer diameter of the seamless steel pipe is φ114~φ325mm, and the wall thickness is 15mm~55mm;

[0009] The production process includes the following steps:

[0010] S1. Billet preparation: Raw materials are formed into steel ingots through a double vacuum smelting process, VIM+VAR.

[0011] S2, Forging Bar: The steel ingot in S1 is heated and forged into a forging bar. The forging compression ratio is 2.0 to 5.0, the initial forging temperature is 1140℃ to 1180℃, the final forging temperature is 900℃ to 950℃, the compression amount per pass is 30mm to 50mm, and the feed rate is 50mm to 70mm.

[0012] S3, Solution treatment of forged bars: The forged bars obtained in S2 are subjected to solution heat treatment to reduce hardness;

[0013] S4. Forging bar processing: Machining 6mm to 10mm on one side of the outer diameter of the forged bar after S3 solution treatment, machining the center hole with a diameter of 45mm to 80mm, and removing the oxide scale on the outer surface.

[0014] S5. Extrusion molding: The forged bar obtained in S4 is heated to 1100℃~1150℃, descaled, lubricated with glass powder, and extruded into steel pipe using a horizontal extrusion press.

[0015] S6. Solution heat treatment: Heat the steel pipe obtained from S5 to 830±10℃, hold for 60min~120min, remove from the furnace and air cool, and then straighten under pressure.

[0016] S7. Aging heat treatment: The steel pipe obtained in S6 is heated to 500±10℃, held for 240min~360min, and then air-cooled after being taken out of the furnace to obtain the production process of T250 seamless steel pipe.

[0017] As a limitation of the present invention, 0.05% Ca, 0.02% Zr, and 0.003% B are added to the molten steel before casting.

[0018] As a further limitation of the present invention, in S2, when the steel ingot is heated to a furnace temperature of 500℃~550℃, it is held for 4 hours; then the furnace temperature is raised to 850℃~900℃ at a heating rate of 80℃~100℃ / h, and held for 3 hours; then the furnace temperature is raised to 1140℃~1180℃ at a heating rate of 100℃~120℃ / h, and held for 4.5 hours.

[0019] As a further limitation of the present invention, in S3, the solution heat treatment temperature of the forged bar is 810℃~850℃, and the holding time is 6h~12h, after which it is taken out of the furnace and air-cooled to room temperature.

[0020] As a further limitation of the present invention, in S5, during the extrusion molding stage, the cold forged bar is heated twice in an electromagnetic induction furnace; the first heating power is 350KW, which heats the outer surface temperature of the forged bar to 1000℃~1050℃; the second heating power is 700KW, which heats the outer surface temperature of the forged bar to 1100℃~1150℃.

[0021] As another limitation of the present invention, in S5, the process of extruding steel pipe includes: expanding the hole with a hole expander at a speed of 150mm to 250mm / s and an expansion ratio of 1.1 to 1.3; and extruding with a hole extruder at a speed of 150mm to 250mm / s and an extrusion ratio of 2 to 5.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the technical progress achieved by this invention compared with the prior art is as follows:

[0023] (1) The present invention adopts a process combining double vacuum smelting of steel ingots, steel ingot forging, hot extrusion molding and solution heat treatment to produce T250 seamless steel pipes with high density, fine grain size, excellent structural performance and excellent mechanical properties.

[0024] (2) The double vacuum smelting process of the present invention can reduce the reaction between molten steel and air, reduce the influence of impurity elements in the air on the composition of seamless steel pipe, make its composition purer, reduce segregation of finished product, refine the grain size of steel ingot, and make T250 steel pipe exhibit excellent mechanical properties such as high hardness, high tensile strength, high yield strength, and large grain size.

[0025] (3) The steel ingot forging process of the present invention can make the forged bar material more compact and the compaction effect better, effectively eliminating defects such as porosity and looseness, so as to give it excellent structural performance; through extrusion molding, the temperature can be precisely controlled, so that the grain size and microstructure of the tube body are consistent, improving the quality of the finished product and providing a good foundation for subsequent heat treatment. The heat-treated tube has high strength and good toughness, reduces deformation and increases yield.

[0026] (4) The solution treatment + aging heat treatment process is simple, the heat treatment effect is good, the deformation is small, which makes it have high strength and good toughness, good welding performance, no need for preheating or post-treatment, and low production cost.

[0027] (5) Before casting, the present invention adds Ca, Zr and B to the molten steel. Adding these three easily oxidized active elements under vacuum greatly reduces the degree of alloy burn-off and results in a very high and stable yield. At the same time, Ca is a very strong deoxidizer and desulfurizer. When added under vacuum, it can generate CaO and CaS, which can completely remove dissolved oxygen and sulfur from the melt. Zr has a very strong affinity for oxygen. After being added, it forms fine ZrO2 particles, which further reduces the residual oxygen in the melt and reduces the risk of grain boundary oxidation embrittlement. After adding B, it can strengthen the grain boundaries, block crack propagation, improve the quality of finished products, and reduce the scrap rate.

[0028] In summary, this invention can improve metal purity, refine bar stock grains, reduce component segregation, enhance material density, stabilize mechanical properties, eliminate shrinkage cavities and cracks, improve finished product quality, and enable seamless steel to maintain stable performance in high-temperature and corrosive environments (such as marine engineering), making it suitable for extreme working conditions and applicable to the production of high-performance seamless steel pipes.
