Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of metal composite materials and hydrogen storage and transportation materials, and falls under the category of structural materials for hydrogen energy equipment design and manufacturing. Specifically, it relates to a high-strength, hydrogen-brittle-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The service performance of critical infrastructure such as high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks and long-distance hydrogen pipelines directly depends on the comprehensive performance of structural materials. These materials need to simultaneously meet stringent requirements such as high strength, excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, good weldability, and long-term service stability. Currently, high-pressure hydrogen storage equipment mainly uses high-strength low-alloy steels, such as Cr-Mo series steels. These materials have the advantages of low cost, excellent pressure resistance, and ease of processing and forming, making them suitable for industrial application. However, they face serious hydrogen embrittlement failure problems in high-pressure hydrogen environments, including hydrogen-induced delayed fracture and hydrogen-induced stress corrosion cracking. Although hydrogen embrittlement can be partially mitigated through microstructure control, microalloying, or surface coatings, the inherent contradiction between material strength and hydrogen resistance has not been fundamentally resolved, which severely restricts the safety and service life of high-pressure hydrogen energy equipment.

[0003] In contrast, austenitic stainless steel exhibits superior resistance to hydrogen embrittlement due to its face-centered cubic crystal structure's high barrier to hydrogen diffusion and the absence of hydrogen accumulation induced by phase transformation. However, the widespread application of traditional austenitic stainless steel is limited by two major factors: firstly, obtaining a stable austenitic structure typically requires the addition of more than 8% nickel, resulting in high material costs and hindering its large-scale application in structural components; secondly, its yield strength is generally below 400 MPa, failing to meet the high strength requirements of high-pressure hydrogen storage equipment.

[0004] To address the performance limitations of single materials, researchers have recently explored multilayer metal composite technologies, such as explosive welding and hot rolling composites, to integrate high-strength steel and austenitic stainless steel on a macroscopic scale, achieving synergistic optimization of strength and hydrogen resistance. However, existing composite technologies still face numerous challenges. For instance, inclusions, delamination, or voids easily appear at the composite interface, potentially becoming weak points for crack initiation and propagation under high-pressure hydrogen environments. Furthermore, differences in microstructure evolution during hot processing of dissimilar materials can lead to elemental segregation near the interface, residual stress concentration, and localized performance degradation. In addition, existing solutions primarily focus on the combination of mechanical properties, lacking a systematic design for multi-scale synergistic mechanisms such as hydrogen diffusion path regulation and hydrogen damage blocking.

[0005] Currently, composite layer materials are still mainly traditional austenitic stainless steel. A nickel-saving austenitic alloy system that combines low cost, high strength and high hydrogen resistance has not yet been developed, and there is a lack of matching interface precision control technology. Summary of the Invention

[0032] As a preferred embodiment, in step (3) of the above-mentioned method for preparing high-strength hydrogen-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, the hot rolling temperature is 900-1150℃.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment, in step (8) of the above-mentioned method for preparing high-strength hydrogen-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, the hot rolling temperature is 1150-1200℃.

[0034] As a preferred embodiment, in step (10) of the above-mentioned method for preparing high-strength hydrogen-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, the annealing temperature is 900-1000℃, preferably held for 12-18 minutes and then rapidly water-quenched to room temperature to achieve grain refinement, uniform structure and release of residual stress.

[0035] As a preferred option, in step (11) of the above-mentioned method for preparing high-strength hydrogen-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, the plate is tempered for 1.5 to 2.5 hours under argon protection at 180 to 220°C to finally obtain a composite material with refined structure, released internal stress, and stable performance.

[0036] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, in step (2) of the above-mentioned method for preparing high-strength hydrogen-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, the material is forged into a (350-450)×(100-140)×(80-100)mm slab.

[0037] According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, in step (3) of the above-mentioned method for preparing high-strength hydrogen-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage, the rolling thickness is 5-10 mm.

[0041] Because the resulting composite material possesses high strength, high plasticity, and excellent resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, it is suitable as a structural material for high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks, hydrogen pipelines, and other critical hydrogen energy equipment. Therefore, a third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned high-strength, hydrogen-embrittle-resistant layered metal composite material for hydrogen storage as a structural material for hydrogen energy equipment.

[0044] 2. Significantly reduced costs: The designed stainless steel is a low-nickel system, with some elements such as manganese and nitrogen replacing expensive nickel. This effectively reduces raw material costs while ensuring structural stability and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement, thus enhancing the engineering applicability and economic viability of the material.

[0053] To more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. It should be understood that equivalent changes and improvements made to the embodiments by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention should be considered within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0054] In this embodiment of the invention, the combination of the NEASS layer and the CrMo steel layer is referenced. Figure 1 .

[0055] Example 1

[0056] 1. Raw material preparation

[0057] A vacuum induction melting furnace was used to melt nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel (NEASS) and 30CrMo steel, respectively. The melting temperature was set at 1600℃, and the vacuum degree was controlled at 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. -3 Below Pa, a staged feeding method is used, with the heating rate controlled at no more than 10℃ / min to ensure uniform alloy composition and no inclusions. After holding the melt at this temperature for 30 minutes, it is poured into a water-cooled copper mold preheated to 200℃ to form an ingot.

[0058] The specific composition (mass fraction) of the NEASS alloy design is: C 0.03%, Cr 15%, Ni 5%, Mn 11%, Si 0.3%, N 0.3%, Nb 0.02%, V 0.04%, with the balance being Fe.

[0059] The specific composition (mass fraction) of 30CrMo steel is designed as follows: C 0.30%, Cr 1.0%, Ni 0.04%, Mn 1.0%, Mo 0.15%, Si 0.15%, with the balance being Fe.

[0060] The ingot is solution treated at 1200℃ for 2 hours, then forged into a slab to eliminate segregation and internal stress, and promote the dissolution of carbides and inclusions. Subsequently, it is hot rolled in multiple passes between 900℃ and 1150℃ to a thickness of 8.0 mm, and then water-cooled to room temperature.

[0061] 2. Pretreatment and assembly of raw sheet materials

[0062] The hot-rolled NEASS and 30CrMo steel plates are cut into slabs of the same size, mechanically ground to remove oxide scale and impurities, and then ultrasonically cleaned with alternating acetone and anhydrous ethanol for 15 minutes each step to ensure that the composite surface is clean and flat.

[0063] The layers are stacked alternately in a 1:1 thickness ratio, with the outermost layer being NEASS. The total thickness after stacking is approximately 40mm, forming a multi-layered structure.

[0064] 3. Vacuum electron beam welding edge sealing

[0065] The stacked composite blanks are placed in a vacuum electron beam welder with a vacuum level ≤10. -3 Pa is used to seal the edges of the composite blank to prevent interface oxidation and inclusions. The welding parameters are: bias voltage 2000V, beam current 25mA, focusing current 400mA, filament current 16A, and welding speed 400mm / min.

[0066] 4. Solution treatment and hot rolling combined

[0067] The encapsulated composite billet was solution treated at 1200℃ for 6 hours to promote element diffusion and interfacial bonding. It was then heated to 1150℃ and hot-rolled in multiple passes with a single-pass reduction of 20% and a total reduction of 88%, rolled to a thickness of approximately 4mm and then air-cooled to room temperature.

[0068] 5. Cumulative rolling

[0069] After the hot-rolled composite sheet is cut, mechanically ground and ultrasonically cleaned, it is re-stacked at a 1:1 ratio and the encapsulation, welding, solution treatment and hot rolling composite process are repeated 6 times to finally produce a multi-layer metal composite sheet with a thickness of about 4mm and 576 layers.

[0070] 6. Annealing and tempering treatment

[0071] The multi-layer composite sheet was annealed at 900℃ for 15 minutes and then rapidly water-quenched to room temperature to refine the grains and release residual stress. Subsequently, it was tempered at 200℃ in an argon-protected environment for 2 hours and then naturally cooled to room temperature to further improve toughness and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement.

[0072] Figure 2 The tissue morphology of the sample in Example 1 is shown in the scan.

[0073] Example 2

[0074] The process flow and alloy composition were exactly the same as in Example 1, except that the annealing temperature was increased to 1000℃, held at that temperature for 15 minutes, and then rapidly water-quenched to room temperature, followed by tempering at 200℃ under argon protection for 2 hours. This annealing temperature effectively promoted grain refinement and microstructure homogenization, while further releasing residual stress.

[0075] Figure 3 The tissue morphology of the sample in Example 2 is shown in the scan.

[0076] Example 3

[0077] The process parameters and composition were the same as in Example 1, but the annealing temperature was adjusted to 1100℃. After holding at that temperature for 15 minutes, the grains were rapidly water-quenched, followed by tempering at 200℃ under argon protection for 2 hours. Higher annealing temperatures help to further refine the grains and release internal stress, thereby improving the stability of the microstructure.

[0078] Figure 4 The tissue morphology of the sample in Example 3 is shown in the scan.

[0079] Comparative Example 1 (NEASS Single Board)

[0080] To compare the performance differences between the composite material and the single-component material of this invention, this comparative example was prepared using the optimized process scheme verified in Example 2. Specifically, nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel (NEASS) single plates were treated according to the hot rolling (1200°C), annealing (1000°C, holding for 15 minutes, water quenching), and tempering (200°C, 2 hours, argon protection) process of Example 2. All thermomechanical treatment parameters were consistent with the composite plate preparation process.

[0081] Comparative Example 2 (CrMo steel veneer)

[0082] The CrMo steel veneer was prepared using the same hot rolling and heat treatment process as in Example 2, while the remaining thermomechanical processing parameters remained the same.

[0083] Table 1 shows the mechanical properties of the composite plates at different annealing temperatures (Examples 1-3).
