AI Technical Summary
In the existing technology, the hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC) resistance of 610MPa grade high-strength steel plates in acidic storage environments containing H2S cannot be consistently met, which cannot satisfy the dual requirements of high strength and HIC resistance for large crude oil storage tanks.
The preparation method of 800MPa grade HIC-resistant high-strength steel plate is adopted. By optimizing the chemical composition and process flow, including converter smelting, LF refining, RH vacuum treatment, full-process argon-protected casting, two-stage controlled rolling with double stand and offline quenching and tempering treatment, the chemical composition and microstructure of the steel plate are controlled to improve the HIC resistance performance.
The prepared steel plate has a yield strength ≥700MPa, tensile strength ≥800MPa, elongation after fracture ≥19%, weld crack sensitivity index Pcm≤0.24%, carbon equivalent CEV≤0.50%, and excellent resistance to HIC, meeting the dual requirements of high strength and resistance to HIC for large crude oil storage tanks.
