The method for measuring the inclusion components in each example and each comparative example in the present invention is a common technique, and specifically comprises sampling a slab after continuous casting, preparing a metallographic specimen with a bright surface by cutting, hot-inlaying, grinding and polishing, and then scanning and analyzing the inclusion components on the polished surface of the specimen by using an electronic probe (EPMA: electron Probe Microanalysis) device to obtain the inclusion components. The invention continuously collects and analyzes the inclusion components at a plurality of different positions of the slab sample by the electronic probe equipment, thereby obtaining the inclusion component range.
Since weld slag points are caused by the presence of high-melting-point inclusions when austenitic stainless steel is welded using argon arc welding (TIG), the evaluation of the slag formation amount can also indirectly reflect the melting point of inclusions in austenitic stainless steel (reference :B.Pollard. The Effect of Minor Elements on the Welding Characteristics of Stainless Stee. Welding Research Supplement(1988), 202-s to 213-s.). evaluates the effectiveness of inclusion control on the basis of the amount of slag points formed per 6 m of welded pipe as an evaluation basis).
Since the inclusion components at each position in the austenitic stainless steel cannot be consistent, the inclusion components of the austenitic stainless steel can only be represented by each inclusion component range when represented, the inclusion component ranges of each embodiment and comparative example of the invention are obtained by collecting and analyzing inclusion components of a plurality of points of the austenitic stainless steel through an electronic probe device, and because the actual collection points are numerous, each embodiment and each comparative example of the invention only select the impurity components collected by a plurality of points, the invention lists the impurity components collected by three to six points selected in embodiments 1-4 and comparative examples 1-3 and the corresponding welding slag generation amounts as follows:
As is clear from the data of the examples and the comparative examples, the main components of the inclusions in the austenitic stainless steel prepared in the examples 1-4 are controlled to be MgAl 2O4:8.0~31.0%,CaO:9.5~38.0%,SiO2:32.0-66.0%, the total content of MgAl 2O4、CaO、SiO2 is 82-95% of the total content of the inclusions, and the formation amount of welding slag points of each 6m welding pipe is 0 or 1 in the content range, so that the melting point of the inclusions in the austenitic stainless steel prepared in the examples 1-4 is indirectly reflected to be low;
and the yield of welding slag points of the austenitic stainless steel prepared in the comparative examples 1-3 is 6-12 per 6 m welding pipe, which is far higher than that of the austenitic stainless steel prepared in the examples 1-4, so that the melting point of inclusions in the austenitic stainless steel prepared in the comparative examples 1-3 is indirectly reflected to be high.
The invention has the advantages that the main component composition of the inclusion in the austenitic stainless steel in the steelmaking process is controlled by the smelting process, the main component composition MgAl 2O4、CaO、SiO2 of the inclusion is controlled to be MgAl 2O4:8.0~31.0%,CaO:9.5~38.0%,SiO2:32.0-66.0%, and the total component sum of the MgAl 2O4、CaO、SiO2 accounts for 82-95% of the total inclusion component, so that the melting point of the inclusion is effectively reduced, and the inclusion is easy to melt and liquid when the austenitic stainless steel is used for welding a pipe, so that the inclusion is not gathered and floats on the surface of a welding seam to form welding slag when the pipe is welded, and the welding slag generation amount when the pipe is welded is effectively reduced.
