- a preferred composition of the steel of the invention consists essentially of, in weight percent, from about 0.03% to 0.05% carbon, about 1.3% to 1.65% manganese, about 0.010% maximum sulfur, about 0.15% to 0.40% silicon, about 0.15% to 0.30% molybdenum, about 0.02% to 0.05% columbium, about 0.02% to 0.06%-acid soluble aluminum, about 1.0% to 1.3% copper, about 0.7% to 1.0% nickel, less than 0.25% chromium, and balance iron except for incidental impurities.
- Carbon is essential for its contribution to strength and a minimum of about 0.02% is needed for this purpose. However, carbon in excess of 0.07% results in a decrease in toughness and drastic impairment of weldability.
- Manganese is required at a minimum of 1.2% in order to provide strength and toughness. More than 2.0% manganese can produce segregation during casting and can form martensite during welding. Manganese additives with low carbon content are also relatively expensive, and higher concentrations result in accelerated erosion of refractories during melting. A range of 1.2% to 2.0% manganese is thus considered essential, preferably about 1.3% to 1.65%.
- Sulfur commonly occurring as an impurity, must be restricted to a maximum of 0.020% in order to minimize sulfide inclusion "stringers" in the hot rolled plate which would adversely affect the ductility and toughness of the steel in the long transverse and short transverse directions.
- sulfur is restricted to a maximum of 0.01%.
- Silicon is added for deoxidation and provides some additional strength to the steel. However, silicon should be restricted to a maximum of 0.5% since amounts in excess of this value are detrimental to toughness and welding properties.
- Molybdenum is added conventionally in order to strengthen and harden steel, and it has the same function in the steel of the present invention.
- the principal and essential reason for addition of molybdenum within the limits of 0.1% to 0.4% and preferably between about 0.15% and 0.30% is because of its apparent interaction with columbium to control the transformation of austenite to ferrite during cooling after hot rolling or during subsequent reheating and quenching. It helps to achieve a substantially unrecrystallized austenite during low temperature hot rolling.
- columbium is more effective in retarding the recrystallization of austenite.
- Zirconium, vanadium and titanium do not sufficiently retard austenite recrystallization, either with or without molybdenum, and hence these alloying elements are not equivalent to columbium in the steel of the present invention.
- a maximum of 0.4% molybdenum should be observed since amounts in excess of this would cause martensite during welding, which is brittle and hence unacceptable. Larger molybdenum additions also raise the cost without additional strength or toughness improvements.
- columbium must be added in order to effect retardation of austenite recrystallization.
- less than about 0.1% molybdenum will not produce sufficient retardation except in very thin plates.
- Columbium levels above about 0.1% become difficult to dissolve prior to rolling, and in such cases these additions will not give the required retardation in austenite recystallization while deforming at least 30% in the 1400° to 1700°F range.
- higher columbium levels raise costs, cause toughness losses and promote cracking in welds.
- Aluminum is required for grain size control during processing, and at least about 0.01% in acid soluble form is needed for this purpose. Grain coarsening is detrimental to toughness and strength. Aluminum is also effective in combining with residual nitrogen which may be present, but a maximum of 0.10% acid soluble aluminum should be observed since excessive amounts adversely affect ductility.
- Copper is essential as a precipitation hardening element, and a minimum of about 0.8% is necessary for this purpose. Amounts in excess of 2.0% copper are expensive, and preferably copper ranges between about 1.0% and 1.3%. Copper within this range also helps to obtain the required acicular ferrite and lower-bainite microstructure during cooling after hot rolling or quenching after austenitizing.
- Nickel is present within the range of about 0.4% to 2.0% in order to avoid hot shortness during hot rolling. Since nickel is expensive, it is restricted to a maximum of 2.0%, preferably 1.0%, and amounts in excess of the broad maximum can cause welding problems.
- the manganese and copper ranges of the present steel are higher than those normally used for low alloy plate steels. These higher ranges increase the strength and toughness of the steel, and manganese is further believed to function in a manner similar to that of molybdenum in making columbium more effective in retarding the recrystallization of austenite. Manganese also helps to promote the formation of fine acicular ferrite and lower-bainite.
- Chromium is restricted to residual amounts (about 0.25% maximum) since chromium in combination with relatively high manganese causes formation of upper-bainite in the microstructure, which is highly -detrimental to toughness.
- the use of chromium in prior art plate steels resulted in the sacrifice of toughness in order to obtain higher strength. In the steel of the present invention this problem is avoided.
- Chromium additions also cause martensite to form in welds, causing lower toughness and making hydrogen cracking more possible.
- a total reduction in thickness of at least 30% while within the temperature range of about 1400° to 1700°F has been found to be necessary to accomplish this.
- the reduction in thickness may be done in one or several passes.
- Preferably the total reduction in thickness is at least 50% within a preferred temperature range of 1400° to 1600°F.
- No ferrite is formed intentionally during hot rolling in the controlled process of the present invention.
- deformed grains immediately recrystallize during hot rolling after each rolling pass into undeformed or stress-free new grains, but in the present invention substantial recrystallization does not occur because of the composition of the steel.
- austenite grains are highly deformed.
- the deformed austenite structure transforms to ferrite in the usual manner, but the ferrite is predominantly fine grained and acicular rather than polygonal.
- the high strength and toughness of the present steel is attributed to the predominantly acicular ferrite and lower-bainite microstructure.
- the hot rolling When producing the quenched and precipitation hardened steel plate of the present invention, it is not essential to control the hot rolling in such manner that a reduction in thickness of at least 30% is effected while within the temperature range of about 1400° to 1700°F where austenite recrystyallization is retarded by the columbium, molybdenum and manganese additions.
- controlled hot rolling may be used.
- the further steps after conventional hot rolling include reheating the hot rolled plate to a temperature within the austenization range, namely about 1600° to 1800°F and preferably within the range of about 1650° to 1700°F (899° to 927°C).
- the steel After transformation of substantially all the ferrite phase to austenite the steel is quenched rapidly to transform austenite back to substantially all fine acicular ferrite and lower-bainite and at a rate sufficient to retain most of the copper in solid solution.
- the quench medium for this step should be water since media such as oil, salt or forced air probably would not provide a cooling rate sufficient to prevent precipitation of the copper as fine particles, except in thinner plate up to about 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) thickness.
- the precipitation hardening step involves heating within the range between about 900°F and the A C1 point. At temperatures below about 900°F, copper will not precipitate within a reasonable time period, and any small amount of martensite which forms will not be adequately tempered. On the other hand, if heated to above the A C1 temperature, i.e. about 1300°F, some austenite will again form which can transform to embrittling martensite upon subsequent air cooling. It is also necessary to avoid precipitation of copper during a preceding quenching step since such premature precipitation would result in no contribution to strength. This is the reason for requiring a quench rate sufficiently rapid to retain the copper in solid solution.
- the precipitation hardening temperature range is between about 1000° and 1200°F (538° and 649°C).
- a yield strength of at least 80 ksi at room temperature is obtained without the necessity for precipitation hardening or other strengthening step as is presently required for ASTM A710 Grade A Class 1 alloy steels. This provides reduction in processing costs, and improved surface since less scale is produced. Better flatness is also obtained, particularly in wide, relatively thin plate within the range of 3/16 to 3/8 thickness. At the same time good toughness in both the longitudinal and transverse directions is achieved.
- Figs. 1 and 2 of the drawing tensile and toughness properties are plotted for steels which have been subjected to the controlled hot rolling process of the present invention and precipitation hardened. It is evident from Fig. 1 that a steel of the invention exhibits substantially higher tensile and yield strengths than ASTM A710 Grade A and a steel otherwise within the ranges of the present steel except for omission of molybdenum. Similarly, Fig. 2 discloses a ductile-to-brittle transition temperature for the steel of the invention substantially superior to that of ASTM A710 Grade A and comparable to that of the steel otherwise within the ranges of the present invention except for omission of molybdenum.
- Heat A was prepared with all essential elements within the preferred ranges of the steel of the invention. Slabs from this heat were hot rolled to plate of varying thicknesses using both conventional hot rolling and the controlled hot rolling process of the present invention.
- the slab reheating temperature for hot rolling was within-the range of 2250° to 2350°F (1232° to 1288°C). Controlled rolling in these trials involved 65% to 70% reduction in thickness at temperatures between 1500° and 1700°F.
- Hot roll finish temperatures were between about 1450° and 1500°F. Conventional hot rolling involved only small reductions below 1700°F and finish temperatures at about 1600°F. Samples of all thicknesses were further subjected to precipitation hardening after hot rolling at a temperature of 1100°F (593°C) for a period of one hour, followed by air cooling.
- the precipitation hardened samples exhibited a significant increase in yield and tensile strength as compared to the same samples in the as-rolled condition, and samples subjected to the controlled hot rolling process of the invention were sligthly superior in yield strength as compared to precipitation hardened samples subjected to conventional hot rolling. Again the toughness of samples in the precipitation hardened condition subjected to controlled hot rolling showed a marked superiority over samples which were subjected to conventional hot rolling prior to precipitation hardening.
- samples of Heat A were subjected to the same tests as Heat B of ASTM A710 Grade A steel, analyzing, in weight percent, 0.035% carbon, 0.44% manganese, 0.010% phosphorus, 0.015% sulfur, 0.28% silicon, 0.68% chromium, 0.89% nickel, 0.21% molybdenum, 1.16% copper, 0.044% aluminum, 0.045% columbium, and balance essentially iron.
- Samples of both heats were hot rolled in accordance with the controlled rolling process of the present invention to plates of 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) thickness, and a sample of each steel was also subjected to precipitation hardening at 1100°F (593°C) for one hour. In other respects preparation was the same as reported above.
- the comparative transverse tensile properties and longitudinal and transverse toughness values are set forth in Table II. It is apparent that the yield strength of Heat A in the as-control rolled condition was substantially equivalent to that of Heat B in the pre- cipitaton hardened condition. In the precipitation hardened condition the yield strength of Heat A was substantially higher than that of Heat B.
- the toughness of the steel of the invention in the longitudinal direction was substantially higher in the as-control rolled condition than that of Heat B in the precipitation hardened condition.
- FIG. 3 illustrates the recrystallized grain structure obtained in the as-rolled condition when subjected to conventional hot rolling.
- Fig. 4 shows the deformed grain structure obtained by the controlled hot rolling process of the present invention, which is predominantly fine grained and acicular ferrite.
- Fig. 5 illustrates the grain structure of an ASTM A710 Grade A steel (Heat B) after hot rolling in accordance with the controlled hot rolling process of the present invention, with the specimen being taken at the mid thickness position of 1/2 inch plate.
- the microstructure comprises polygonal ferrite, pearlite and bainite which resulted from recrystallized austenite before transformation.
- Fig. 6 illustrates the microstructure of the steel of the invention (Heat No. A), taken at the mid thickness position of 1/2 inch plate when subjected to the controlled hot rolling process of the present invention.
- the microstructure is a very fine acicular ferrite with some lower-bainite obtained by transformation from an austenite phase which had not completely recrystallized.
- Figs. 3 and 4 the same steel was subjected to different hot rolling conditions, and the marked difference in microstructures shows the criticality of the controlled hot rolling process of the invention when practiced on a steel of the specified composition in the as-rolled condition.
- Figs. 5 and 6 different steels were subjected to the identical controlled hot rolling process of the invention, and the steel of the present invention transformed to a very fine acicular ferrite microstructure, whereas the conventional prior art steel transformed to a polygonal ferrite, pearlite and bainite microstructure, thus illustrating the criticality of the composition of the present steel.
- the present invention involves criticality with respect to composition regardless of the condition of the final product. It is further evident that the controlled hot rolling process of the invention is critical for production of as-rolled and as-rolled and precipitation hardened plates having the desired combination of properties. For the production of austenitized, quenched and precipitation hardened shapes, the hot rolling process is not critical.
