Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ferrous metal pressure processing, and particularly relates to a manufacturing method of high-toughness H2S corrosion-resistant X52QS long-distance conveying seamless pipeline pipe under extremely cold temperature. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the background of the continuous development of the global economy, the demand for energy is showing a sustained upward trend. As extremely critical energy resources, the long-distance transportation of oil and natural gas is self-evident. Many oil and natural gas contain H2S with strong corrosive properties, which can easily cause acid corrosion to the pipeline during the conveying process. At present, the pipeline pipe that can adapt to extremely cold temperature environment and has high toughness and resistance to hydrogen sulfide corrosion is mostly made of hot-rolled plate coil steel. In comparison, seamless pipe has obvious advantages in thick-walled pipe manufacturing, high-strength pipe production, medium-high alloy material processing, corrosion-resistant pipe manufacturing, and small-batch customized production, and can better meet the actual needs of specific pipeline engineering projects. Therefore, the pipeline pipe must have the ability to maintain high toughness in extremely cold environments and resist hydrogen sulfide corrosion. However, in reality, pipeline pipe corrosion, cracking and other problems occur frequently during long-distance conveying, which not only greatly increases the maintenance cost of the pipeline, but also poses a serious threat to the safety and stability of energy transportation. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new manufacturing method, which has very important practical significance for meeting the growing demand for long-distance conveying of X52QS seamless pipeline pipe resistant to hydrogen sulfide in extremely cold environments in the energy field.

[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0005] The application discloses a manufacturing method of high-toughness H2S corrosion-resistant X52QS long-distance conveying seamless pipeline pipe under extremely low temperature, and the chemical composition of the seamless pipeline pipe is as follows: C: 0.06-0.12%, Si: 0.20-0.40%, Mn: 0.80-1.20%, V: 0.02-0.04%, Ti: 0.005-0.020%, Al: 0.005-0.040%, P: ≤0.018%, S: ≤0.003%, and the rest is Fe and impurity elements; the manufacturing method comprises the following steps: adopting the continuously-cast round pipe blank of the high-toughness H2S corrosion-resistant X52QS long-distance conveying seamless pipeline pipe under extremely low temperature which meets the above component requirements, and performing the following manufacturing process: ring furnace heating, piercing machine piercing, PQF hot continuous rolling, pipe removing, sizing, cold bed cooling, saw cutting, straightening, quenching and tempering heat treatment, flaw detection, water pressure and packaging and warehousing; and the specific steps are as follows:

[0007] After the round pipe blank is heated in the ring furnace, the round pipe blank is sent to the plug-type piercing machine to perform piercing, and the piercing temperature is 1200-1250 DEG C; the rough steel pipe formed by piercing is transferred to the φ460 PQF continuous rolling mill to perform rolling, and the rolling temperature is 950-1200 DEG C;

[0008] The steel pipe of the required specification which is formed by hot continuous rolling is subjected to quenching + tempering heat treatment process: firstly, quenching treatment is performed, the quenching temperature is set to be 910 DEG C ± 10 DEG C, and after the steel pipe reaches the temperature, the pure holding time is kept for more than 10 minutes; the quenching process adopts the mode of internal spraying and external spraying, and the cooling medium is water; after the quenching process is completed, the tempering stage is entered, the tempering temperature is controlled to be 630 DEG C ± 10 DEG C, the steel pipe is kept for pure holding for 10-20 minutes after reaching the tempering temperature, and finally, the furnace is discharged to perform air cooling.

[0009] Further, the chemical composition of the seamless pipeline pipe is as follows: C: 0.06%, Si: 0.20%, Mn: 0.80%, V: 0.02%, Ti: 0.005%, Al: 0.005%, P: 0.018%, S: 0.003%, and the rest is Fe and impurity elements.

[0010] Further, the seamless pipeline pipe has the following chemical composition in percentage by mass: C: 0.08%, Si: 0.25%, Mn: 0.90%, V: 0.03%, Ti: 0.008%, Al: 0.015%, P: 0.016%, S: 0.002%, and the rest is Fe and impurities.

[0011] Further, the seamless pipeline pipe has the following chemical composition in percentage by mass: C: 0.09%, Si: 0.30%, Mn: 1.00%, V: 0.02%, Ti: 0.011%, Al: 0.025%, P: 0.014%, S: 0.003%, and the rest is Fe and impurities.

[0014] Further, the impact energy of the steel grade-45℃ transverse full-size sample reaches 160J or above.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] In the steel material, C-Mn is the most effective and economic element combination to improve the strength. At the same time, low carbon content is a key measure to control the low-temperature toughness of the pipeline pipe, and the carbon content is negatively correlated with the low-temperature impact toughness, that is, the lower the carbon content, the better the low-temperature impact toughness. Therefore, appropriately reducing the carbon content and matching a certain amount of manganese and adding a small amount of micro-alloying elements V and Ti can effectively balance the impact toughness in the low-temperature environment. V-Ti micro-alloying can significantly optimize the performance of the steel, V can precipitate carbonitride in the steel, effectively pin the dislocation, hinder the grain growth, and improve the strength. Ti can refine the grain of the casting blank, improve the organization of the steel, and the two are synergistic, which not only enhances the strength, but also improves the toughness and welding performance. The hot-rolled steel pipe adopts a quenching and tempering heat treatment process, and a good matching effect of high strength and toughness is obtained. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
