Description

An 800MPa grade quenched and tempered ultra-high strength hydrogen-resistant pressure vessel steel plate and its preparation method Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of container steel manufacturing and relates to an 800MPa grade quenched and tempered ultra-high strength hydrogen-resistant pressure vessel steel plate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Among the existing hydrogen storage technologies, high-pressure gaseous hydrogen storage technology is highly mature and low-cost, and is currently the most suitable technical solution for large-scale storage and transportation. This technical solution requires the construction of hundreds of cubic meters of high-pressure hydrogen storage tanks, hundreds of kilometers of high-pressure hydrogen pipelines, etc. For large-scale hydrogen storage and transportation needs, materials suitable for high-pressure hydrogen storage and transportation equipment are core technologies that must be broken through. The most critical technical features of this type of material are: high strength, weldability, good strength-toughness matching, and resistance to hydrogen corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement. At present, pressure vessel equipment is developing towards high parameters and large-scale. For safety reasons, the limit specifications and strength and toughness requirements of pressure vessel steel are also increasing. In terms of the physical level of steel plates, most domestically produced ultra-high-strength steel plates for pressure vessels not only lack data support for hydrogen resistance, but also have shortcomings such as narrow thickness specification range, poor surface quality, and low impact toughness. They cannot meet the current use requirements of large-scale, high-parameter hydrogen-resistant pressure vessels.

[0003] For example, the patent with publication number CN104532159A discloses "a quenched and tempered high-strength steel with a yield strength of 700 MPa and a production method thereof". Its chemical composition includes C, Si, Mn, Cr, Mo, Ni, Nb, Ti, V, B, Al, Ca, N, P, S and O, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities; the actual yield strength of the patented steel plate is 700-850 MPa, and the tensile strength is 750-900 MPa. Although the strength is relatively high, the elongation is only >14%, and the impact energy at -40°C is only >40J. The plastic toughness of the steel plate is relatively low.

[0004] For example, the patent with publication number CN109112421A discloses "a steel 07Cr2AlMoR for pressure vessels and its production method", whose chemical composition includes C, Mn, Cr, Mo, Alt, S, P and Si, and the rest is Fe and other inevitable impurities; although the production method disclosed in the patent has a wide range of steel plate thickness specifications, up to 80mm, the actual strength and toughness level of the steel plate is low, with a tensile strength of less than 500MPa, an impact toughness of less than 100J, and a quality grade of only D.

[0005] For example, patent publication number CN115261714A discloses "a steel for pressure vessels and its preparation method." Its chemical composition includes C, Si, Mn, P, S, Al, V, Nb, N, Cu, Sn, Sb, and Mg; the remainder is Fe and other unavoidable impurities. This patent only discloses the production method for relatively thin steel plates ≤55 mm thick. It does not mention production methods for thicker steel plates, making it unable to meet the performance requirements for ultra-thick plate applications. Furthermore, none of these patents mention the steel plates' hydrogen resistance.

[0014] A method for preparing 800MPa-grade quenched and tempered ultra-high-strength hydrogen-resistant pressure vessel steel plates comprises subjecting a steel billet having the same composition as the steel to smelting and continuous casting steps to produce a continuous cast billet having a target composition; the continuous cast billet then undergoes heating, rolling, heat treatment, inspection, and storage. The specific preparation steps are as follows:

[0015] (1): The smelting process includes molten iron pretreatment, top and bottom double blowing converter, LF refining and RH refining, wherein the converter smelting end temperature is 1600-1650°C to ensure carbon pulling and no phosphorus regeneration in the later stage; LF refining adopts aluminum deoxidation, the total time is 40-45 minutes, and the atmosphere in the ladle is controlled by micro-positive pressure operation throughout the process; seamless pure calcium wire is fed after RH refining; ferroboron is added after uniformity, and static stirring is performed after the wire feeding is completed, and the static stirring time is 25-30 minutes to ensure that the slag surface does not fluctuate and the molten steel is not exposed;

[0016] (2): The continuous casting process adopts slab soft reduction and electromagnetic stirring technology to reduce center segregation and looseness, and the solidification end is reduced by 5 to 7 mm. The continuous casting process adopts protective casting to prevent secondary oxidation of molten steel;

[0017] (3): The continuous casting billet heating process: the heating temperature is 1150-1280°C, and the total time coefficient in the furnace is 1.0-1.2 min / mm, to ensure that the original austenite structure is uniform inside the steel;

[0018] (4): The rolling process adopts a controlled rolling and controlled cooling process, which is a two-stage controlled rolling process, namely rolling in the austenite recrystallization zone and the austenite non-recrystallization zone, with a total reduction ratio of not less than 4 times: the starting temperature of the rough rolling is ≥1000℃, and a large reduction method is adopted in this stage; the starting temperature of the finishing rolling is 810-880℃, and in this stage, sufficient deformation is ensured so that the austenite grains are stretched and deformed along the rolling direction. At the same time, by adding micro-alloying elements such as Ti and V, carbonitride particles are precipitated by strain during the deformation process, which pins the austenite grains to prevent them from growing, thereby refining the structure after the phase transformation; the final rolling temperature is 800-850℃; after rolling, it is subjected to laminar cooling, the red-return temperature is 600-680℃, and then air-cooled to room temperature;

[0019] (5): The heat treatment process includes quenching and tempering processes, wherein the quenching temperature of the steel plate is 850-930°C, and the holding time coefficient is 1.3-1.8 min / mm. Subsequently, the tempering process is performed to eliminate the residual stress generated by quenching and homogenize the structure to obtain stable and excellent comprehensive performance. The tempering temperature of the steel plate is 610-670°C, and the holding time coefficient is 2.0-4.0 min / mm.

[0020] The ultra-high-strength hydrogen-resistant steel plate for pressure vessels disclosed herein has a thickness of 12 to 80 mm, a final microstructure of the steel plate mainly composed of bainite, and excellent physical properties: a hydrogen embrittlement index of the steel plate in a 25 MPa hydrogen environment is ≥0.75, internal flaw detection reaches NB / T 47013.3TI level, a tensile strength Rm of the steel plate is 800 to 900 MPa, an elongation A is ≥17%, and a KV2 at -40°C is ≥100 J.

[0021] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following characteristics: 1. Through the calculation of material hydrogen resistance and chemical composition design based on the first principles, the good hydrogen resistance of the steel plate is guaranteed, and 12 to 80 mm thick steel plates are produced, covering a wide range of thickness specifications, with better strength, toughness and plasticity. The hydrogen embrittlement index of the steel plate in a 25MPa hydrogen environment is ≥0.75, the tensile strength Rm is 800 to 900MPa, the elongation A is ≥17%, and the KV2 at -40℃ is ≥100J; 2.

It breaks through the bottleneck of the existing technology and fills the technical gap of materials for large-scale high-pressure vessels in China. In the later stage, it will promote the formation of a series of specifications and preparation, storage, transportation and terminal application of pressure vessel equipment, materials, design, construction, application, safety evaluation, etc., and a complete and efficient industrial chain prototype, laying the foundation for the development, production and application of a new generation of tempered high-strength pressure vessel steel.
