Description

High strength steel plate having superior toughness in weld heat-affected zone and method for manufacturing the same

The present invention relates to structural steel used in welded structures, such as construction, bridges, shipbuilding, offshore structures, steel pipes, line pipes. More specifically, the base material is a bainite + ferrite, while using a fine TiN + CuS composite precipitate while securing a high strength, the present invention relates to a welded structural steel and a method for manufacturing the same, which can improve the toughness and strength of the weld heat affected zone.

Recently, steel materials used in accordance with the trend of high-rise buildings, structures are being replaced by thick materials. In order to weld such thick materials, high-efficiency welding is inevitable. As a technique for welding thickened steel materials, a high-pass heat submerged welding method and an electro-welding method capable of 1-pass welding are widely used. In addition, in the field of shipbuilding and bridges, even when welding a steel plate having a plate thickness of 25 mm or more, the above-described high heat input welding method capable of one-pass welding is applied.

In general, in welding, the larger the amount of heat input, the larger the amount of welding, so that the number of welding passes decreases. Therefore, it is advantageous to enable high heat input welding in consideration of welding productivity. In other words, increasing the amount of heat input in the welding will be able to widen the range of use. The range of high heat input currently used corresponds to approximately 100-200 kJ / cm, but in order to weld more thickened steel, that is, steel with a plate thickness of 50 mm or more, it is possible to have a super heat input range of 200-500 kJ / cm.

When the heat input is applied to the steel, the heat affected zone formed during welding, particularly the heat affected zone near the fusion boundary, is heated to a temperature close to the melting point by the amount of heat input. Accordingly, since the grains of the weld heat affected zone grow and coarse, and microstructures that are vulnerable to toughness such as upper pearlite and martensite are formed during the cooling process, the weld heat affected zone is the site where the toughness of the weld deteriorates most.

Therefore, in order to secure the stability of the welded structure, it is necessary to suppress the growth of the austenite grains in the weld heat affected zone and to keep it fine. As a means to solve this problem, there is disclosed a technique for delaying grain growth of the weld heat affected zone during welding by appropriately distributing an oxide or Ti-based carbonitride, which is stable at a high temperature, to steel materials. For example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-140582, No. 10-298708, No. 10-298706, No. 9-194990, No. 9-324238, No. 8-60292, (S) 60-245768, (Pyeong) 5-186848, (S) 58-31065, (S) 61-79745, Journal of the Japan Welding Society, Vol. 52, No. 2, 49 and Japanese Patent Laid-Open And 64-15320.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-140582 is a representative technique using TiN precipitates, and has a toughness of about 200J at 0 ° C when 100 J / cm of heat input (maximum heating temperature of 1400 ° C) is applied. Is about 300J). In this prior art, Ti / N is substantially managed at 4-12 so that TiN precipitates of 0.05 µm or less are 5.8 × 10 ³ pieces / mm 2 to 8.1 × 10 ⁴ pieces / mm 2, and TiN precipitates of 0.03 to 0.2 μm are 3.9 ×. The toughness of the welded portion is secured by making the ferrite fine by depositing 10 ³ pieces / mm 2 to 6.2 × 10 ⁴ pieces / mm 2. This steel has a microstructure of ferrite and pearlite, which has mechanical properties of up to 581 MPa in tensile strength and 405 MPa in yield strength.

However, according to this prior art, when the 100 kJ / cm high heat input welding is applied, the toughness of the base material and the heat affected zone is generally low (the base material: 320J, the heat affected zone: 220J at the highest impact toughness of 0 ° C), and also the base material. The toughness difference between the heat affected zone and the heat affected zone is as large as about 100J, and the strength of the base metal is not good. Therefore, there is a limit in securing the reliability of the steel structure due to superheat welding of the thickened steel. In addition, as a method for securing the desired TiN precipitate, the slab is heated at a temperature above 1050 ° C. and rapidly cooled and then reheated for hot rolling. Becomes

To date, many techniques for improving the toughness of the weld heat affected zone during high heat input welding have been known. It has not been announced yet. In particular, there are few technologies in which the toughness of the weld heat affected zone shows the same level as that of the base metal.

An object of the present invention is to provide a welded structural steel material excellent in toughness of a welded heat affected zone as well as a high strength of a steel material (base metal), and a method of manufacturing the same.

In addition, the manufacturing method of the welded structural steel material of this invention is C: 0.03-0.17%, Si: 0.01-0.5%, Mn: 0.4-2.0%, Ti: 0.005-0.2%, Al: 0.0005-0.1% by weight. , N: 0.008-0.030%, B: 0.0003-0.01%, W: 0.001-0.2%, Cu: 0.1-1.5%, P: 0.03% or less, S: 0.003-0.05%, O: 0.005% or less, 1.2≤ Ti / N≤2.5, 10≤N / B≤40, 2.5≤Al / N≤7, 6.5≤ (Ti + 2Al + 4B) / N≤14, 10≤Cu / S≤90, and the remaining Fe and After heating the steel slab composed of other impurities in the range of 1000-1250 ° C for 60-180 minutes, hot rolling is performed in the austenitic recrystallization zone with a rolling ratio of 40% or more, and then 5-20 ° C / up to the bainite transformation end temperature ± 10 ° C. and cooling at a rate of sec.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

In the present invention, the term " prior austenite " refers to austenite formed in a weld heat affected zone when high heat input welding is applied to steel materials (base materials), and is formed in a steel manufacturing process (hot rolling process). It is used for convenience to distinguish it from being austenite.

The present inventors studied a method to secure high strength of the steel (base material) and high toughness of the weld heat affected zone at the same time, and when the microstructure of the base material is a composite structure of bainite and ferrite, it is very effective in improving the base material strength. In addition, when TiN + CuS composite precipitates are finely and uniformly formed on the base material having such a microstructure, the particle size of the austenite of the weld heat affected zone becomes fine and the toughness of the weld heat affected zone does not become a problem.

Based on these studies, in the present invention,

[1] with the use of composite precipitates of TiN + CuS,

[2] By controlling the initial ferrite grain size of the steel to less than the critical level, the former austenite of the weld heat affected zone is controlled to about 80 μm or less. Also,

[3] By reducing the Ti / N ratio, BN and AlN precipitates are effectively precipitated to increase ferrite production in weld heat affected zones. In particular, the ferrite shape is guided or polygonal to improve toughness. Improve the toughness of the affected area.

In addition, in the present invention, by controlling the accelerated cooling rate in the rolling process to secure the composite structure of the bainite and ferrite in an appropriate fraction in the base material to improve the base material strength. These [1] [2] [3] [4] are demonstrated in more detail.

[1] TiN + CuS precipitates

The inventors note that the growth inhibition of the austenite grains is closely related to the prevention of re-dissolution of TiN precipitates distributed in the weld heat affected zone near the melting line. We have studied how to delay the problem. As a result of this research, the present inventors found that when TiN is distributed as a TiN + CuS composite precipitate in which CuS is properly wrapped around the TiN precipitate, the TiN precipitate distributed in the weld heat affected zone is known even when heated to a high temperature of 1350 ° C. or higher. We noticed a significant delay in restocking time. That is, preferentially reusable CuS is concentrated around TiN, affecting TiN decomposition and reusing rate to the base metal, and TiN effectively contributes to the suppression of old austenite grain growth, thereby significantly improving the toughness of the weld heat affected zone. It can be. The degree of distribution of the CuS precipitates also affects the strength (or hardness) of the weld heat affected zone.

For this purpose, it is important to reduce the solubility product showing the stability of the TiN precipitate at high temperature while finely and uniformly distributing the TiN + CuS composite precipitate. The inventors have investigated the size and amount of TiN + CuS composite precipitates and their distribution according to the ratio of Ti and N (Ti / N) and the ratio of Cu / S, and found that Ti / N is 1.2 to 2.5 and Cu / S. When the ratio is 10-90, TiN + CuS composite precipitates having a size of 0.01-0.1 μm were precipitated at 1.0 × 10 ⁷ / mm 2 or more, and the intervals of the precipitates were confirmed to be 0.5 μm or less.

In this way, when the ratio of Ti / N is controlled to 2.5 or less (increasing the content of N), the solubility region showing the high temperature stability of TiN is also lowered. Increasing nitrogen content at the same Ti content causes all Ti atoms to be combined with nitrogen atoms during the cooling process to increase the amount of fine TiN precipitates, resulting in the stability of precipitates at high temperatures, such as heat affected zones. Product becomes smaller. Therefore, in a high nitrogen environment, TiN precipitates are more stable than nitrogen-containing precipitates because the amount of solid solution Ti decreases. At this time, it is important to promote aging due to the presence of solid N due to high nitrogen, so that the ratio of N / B, Al / N, V / N, and overall management of these to precipitate N as BN, AlN, VN It is to let.

[2] ferrite grain size management

According to the study of the present invention, it is important to make the size of the ferrite to 20 μm or less while the microstructure of the base material is a composite structure of ferrite + bainite in order to make the size of the old austenite to 80 μm. At this time, the refinement of the ferrite may be obtained by controlling the growth of the ferrite grains generated in the cooling process after hot rolling as well as the austenite grain refinement by the steel working during hot rolling. For this purpose, it was confirmed that it is very effective to properly deposit and distribute carbides (VC, WC) effective for ferrite grain growth.

[3] microstructure, welded heat affected zones

The facts of the present invention revealed that the toughness of the weld heat affected zone affected not only the size of the former austenite grains when the base material was heated above 1400 ° C, but also the amount, size and shape of the ferrite deposited at the old austenite grain boundaries. It's crazy. In particular, it is important to induce the transformation of polygonal ferrite and acicular ferrite in the austenite mouth. In the present invention, AlN and BN precipitates are used for this purpose.

[4] bainite tissue fraction control

The present inventors can easily control the bainite structure fraction which can improve the strength of the base material when the accelerated cooling rate is controlled (5-20 ° C./sec) in the hot rolling process. It was confirmed that the ferrite did not adversely affect the physical properties of the weld heat affected zone.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by dividing the steel component and its manufacturing method.

[Welding Structural Steels]

It is preferable to make content of carbon (C) into 0.03 to 0.17%.

When the content of carbon (C) is less than 0.03%, securing strength as a structural steel is insufficient. In addition, when C exceeds 0.17%, microstructures susceptible to toughness, such as upper pearlite, martensite and degenerate pearlite, are transformed during cooling to lower the low temperature impact toughness of structural steel, and also reduce the hardness of the welded steel or Increasing strength results in deterioration of toughness and generation of weld cracks.

The content of silicon (Si) is preferably limited to 0.01-0.5%.

If the content of silicon is less than 0.01%, the deoxidation effect of molten steel is insufficient during steelmaking and the corrosion resistance of steel is reduced. If the content is more than 0.5%, the effect is saturated, It promotes the transformation of martensite and lowers the low temperature impact toughness.

The content of manganese (Mn) is preferably limited to 0.4-2.0%.

Mn is effective in improving deoxidation, weldability, hot workability and strength in steel, and precipitates in the form of MnS around Ti-based oxides, which affects the formation of needle-shaped and polygonal ferrites, which is effective for improving the toughness of weld heat affected zones. Crazy Such Mn forms a solid solution to form a solid solution in the matrix structure to enhance the solid solution to secure the strength and toughness, for this purpose it is preferably contained 0.4% or more. However, in case of exceeding 2.0%, tissue heterogeneity caused by Mn segregation not only has a detrimental effect on the toughness of weld heat affected zone, but also causes macro segregation and micro segregation depending on the segregation mechanism during steel solidification. It promotes the formation of central segregation zone, which acts as a cause of creating low temperature transformation tissue in the center of the base material.

The content of aluminum (Al) is preferably limited to 0.0005-0.1%.

Al is an element that helps Ti form fine TiN precipitates by forming fine AlN precipitates in steel as well as an element necessary as a deoxidizer, and forming oxygen and Al oxides to prevent Ti from reacting with oxygen. For this purpose, it is preferable to add more than 0.0005% of Al, but if it exceeds 0.1%, AlN is precipitated and the formation of Weidmanstatten ferrite and phase martensite, in which the remaining solid solution Al is vulnerable to toughness during cooling of the weld heat affected zone. To reduce the toughness of the high heat input welding heat affected zone.

The content of titanium (Ti) is preferably limited to 0.005-0.2%.

Ti is indispensable in the present invention because it combines with N to form fine TiN precipitates that are stable at high temperatures. It is preferable to add more than 0.005% of Ti in order to obtain such a fine TiN precipitation effect, but when it exceeds 0.2%, coarse TiN precipitates and Ti oxides are formed in molten steel, and thus it is impossible to suppress the growth of the austenite grains of the weld heat affected zone. Because it is not desirable.

The content of boron (boron, B) is preferably limited to 0.0003-0.01%.

B is a very effective element for producing polygonal ferrite at grain boundaries as well as acicular ferrite having excellent toughness in grains. B forms a BN precipitate, which hinders the growth of the old austenite grains and forms Fe carbide in the grain boundary and in the mouth to promote ferrite transformation of acicular and polygons having excellent toughness. If the content of B is less than 0.0003%, such an effect cannot be expected. If the content of B is greater than 0.01%, the hardenability increases, which may cause hardening of the weld heat affected zone and low temperature cracking.

The content of nitrogen (N) is preferably limited to 0.008-0.03%.

N is an indispensable element for forming TiN, AlN, BN, VN, NbN, etc., and it is possible to minimize the growth of the old austenite grains in the weld heat affected zone during the high heat input welding and to increase TiN, AlN, BN, VN, NbN, etc. Increase the amount of precipitates. In particular, since the TiN and AlN precipitates have a significant effect on the size and precipitate interval, precipitate distribution, complex precipitation frequency with oxide, and high temperature stability of the precipitate itself, the content is preferably set at 0.008% or more. However, when the nitrogen content exceeds 0.03%, the effect is saturated, and toughness decreases due to an increase in the amount of solid solution nitrogen distributed in the weld heat affected zone, and it may be incorporated into the weld metal due to dilution during welding, resulting in a decrease in the toughness of the weld metal. Can be.

The content of tungsten (W) is preferably limited to 0.001-0.2%.

Tungsten is an element that uniformly precipitates in the base material as tungsten carbide (WC) after hot rolling, effectively inhibiting ferrite grain growth after ferrite transformation, and also suppressing the growth of the initial austenite grains in the heating zone of the weld heat affected zone. If the content is less than 0.001%, there is less distribution of tungsten carbide for suppressing ferrite grain growth upon cooling after hot rolling, and the effect is saturated when more than 0.2% is added.

The content of copper (Cu) is preferably limited to 0.1-1.5%.

Cu is an element that improves the strength of the weld heat affected zone. CuS precipitates and solid solution strengthening effects are not sufficient at less than 0.1%, and when it exceeds 1.5%, the effect is saturated and rather hardenability of the weld heat affected zone. It is not preferable because it increases the toughness and decreases the toughness and dilutes the weld metal during welding, thereby decreasing the toughness of the weld metal.

The content of phosphorus (P) is preferably limited to 0.030% or less.

P is preferably as low as possible because it is an impurity element that promotes central segregation during rolling and hot cracking during welding. In order to improve the toughness of the base metal, the toughness of the weld heat affected zone, and to reduce the center segregation, it is recommended to manage it to 0.03% or less.

The content of sulfur (S) is preferably 0.003-0.05%.

S is an element that improves the strength of the weld heat affected zone, and reacts with Cu to form CuS to improve strength (or hardness), and complex precipitation on TiN precipitate to improve high temperature stability of TiN precipitate. For this purpose, S should be contained 0.003% or more, but if it is more than 0.05%, the effect is saturated, and there is a fear that the slab may be cracked under the surface of the slab at the time of playing, and a low melting point compound such as FeS may be formed during welding. It is not preferable because it may promote welding hot cracking.

The content of oxygen (O) is preferably limited to 0.005% or less.

If the oxygen content exceeds 0.005%, the Ti element is not preferable because the Ti element is formed of Ti oxide in molten steel and thus does not form a TiN precipitate. Also, inclusions such as coarse Fe oxide and Al oxide are formed, which adversely affects the toughness of the base metal. It is not desirable because it is crazy.

The ratio of Ti / N is preferably 1.2 to 2.5.

In the present invention, the Ti / N ratio is lowered to 2.5 or less, which has two advantages. First, it is possible to increase the amount of TiN, that is, the number of TiN precipitates. In other words, if the nitrogen content is increased at the same Ti content, all the Ti atoms dissolved in the cooling process during the playing process combine with the nitrogen atom, thereby increasing the fine TiN precipitation. Second, TiN is stable at high temperatures. That is, since the solubility product which shows the stability of the precipitate at high temperature such as the weld heat affected zone becomes smaller, the precipitate such as high nitrogen TiN is more stable than the case where the nitrogen content is low. On the other hand, if the Ti / N ratio is higher than 2.5, coarse TiN is crystallized in molten steel, which is a steelmaking process, and a uniform distribution of TiN is not obtained. Also, excess Ti remaining without precipitation as TiN remains in a solid solution to weld heat. Affects bad toughness. If the Ti / N ratio is less than 1.2, the amount of solid solution nitrogen in the base metal increases, which is detrimental to the toughness of the weld heat-oriented part.

It is preferable to make ratio of N / B into 10-40.

In the present invention, if the N / B ratio is less than 10, the precipitation amount of BN that promotes the ferrite transformation of polygons at the old austenite grain boundary during the post-weld cooling process is insufficient, and when the N / B ratio is over 40, the effect is saturated and dissolved. This is because the amount of nitrogen is increased to lower the toughness of the weld heat affected zone.

It is preferable to make Al / N ratio into 2.5-7.

In the present invention, when the Al / N ratio is less than 2.5, AlN precipitates are insufficient to induce needle-like ferrite transformation, and the amount of solid solution nitrogen in the weld heat affected zone may increase, resulting in a weld crack and an Al / N ratio of more than 7 In the case the effect is saturated.

It is preferable that ratio of (Ti + 2Al + 4B) / N is 6.5-14.

In the present invention, when the ratio of (Ti + 2Al + 4B) / N is less than 6.5, the growth inhibition of the austenite grain growth of the weld heat affected zone, the generation of fine polygonal ferrite at the grain boundary, the amount of solid solution nitrogen, the needle shape and the polygonal shape in the grain boundary Insufficient size and number of distribution of TiN, AlN, BN, and VN precipitates for ferrite formation and control of tissue fraction, and the effect is saturated when (Ti + 2Al + 4B) / N is more than 14 seconds. If V is added, the ratio of (Ti + 2Al + 4B + V) / N is preferably 7-17.

Cu / S ratio is preferably limited to 10 ≦ Cu / S ≦ 90.

In the present invention, the CuS single precipitate and the TiN + CuS composite precipitate are precipitated between the TiN precipitate and the base metal interface, and are re-used as the base metal during high temperature heating, thereby increasing the stocking temperature or delaying the time required for restocking compared to the TiN precipitate distributed alone. . As such, the Cu / S ratio should be 10 or more in order to secure the appropriate number and size of CuS and TiN + CuS composite precipitates for controlling austenite grain growth in the weld heat affected zone, and the amount of CuS to be wrapped around the TiN precipitates. However, when the Cu / S ratio is greater than 90, the size of the CuS precipitates surrounding TiN is coarsened and the effect is saturated. In addition, the hardenability of the weld heat affected zone is increased to promote the reduction of toughness, hot cracking in the weld heat affected zone and the weld metal.

In order to further improve the toughness of the steel material (base material) and the heat-affected portion formed as described above, V is further added.

The content of vanadium (V) is preferably limited to 0.01-0.2%.

V is an element that combines with N to form VN to promote ferrite formation in the weld heat affected zone, and VN precipitates alone or precipitates in TIN precipitates to promote ferrite transformation. In addition, V combines with C to form VC, which acts to inhibit ferrite grain growth after ferrite transformation. When the V content is less than 0.01%, it is difficult to obtain the ferrite transformation promoting effect in the weld heat affected zone because the VN deposition amount is small. On the other hand, exceeding 0.2% is not preferable because it causes toughness of the base metal and the weld heat affected zone (HAZ) and improves the weld hardenability, which may cause the low temperature crack of the weld.

Moreover, it is preferable to make ratio of V / N into 0.3-9. In the present invention, when the V / N ratio is less than 0.3, it is difficult to secure an appropriate number and size of VN precipitates deposited and distributed at the TiN + CuS precipitate boundary for improving the toughness of the weld heat affected zone. When the V / N ratio exceeds 9, the size of the VN precipitates deposited on the TiN + CuS precipitate boundary is coarsened, and thus the VN precipitation frequency deposited on the TiN + CuS composite precipitate boundary is reduced, which is effective for the toughness of the weld heat affected zone. Reduce ferrite phase percentage.

In the present invention, in order to further improve the mechanical properties in the steel composition as described above, one or more selected from the group of Ni, Nb, Mo, Cr is further added.

The content of nickel (Ni) is preferably limited to 0.1-3.0%.

Ni is an effective element which improves the strength and toughness of the base material by solid solution strengthening. In order to achieve this effect, the Ni content is preferably 0.1% or more, but when the content exceeds 3.0%, the hardenability is increased to reduce the toughness of the weld heat affected zone and the possibility of high temperature cracking in the weld heat affected zone and the weld metal. This is not desirable because there is.

The content of niobium (Nb) is preferably limited to 0.01-0.10%.

Nb is an effective element from the viewpoint of securing the strength of the base material. For this purpose, Nb is added in an amount of 0.01% or more. However, Nb is undesirable because it causes coarse precipitation of coarse NbC, which is detrimental to the toughness of the base material.

Chromium (Cr) is preferably made 0.05 to 1.0%.

Cr increases the hardenability and also improves the strength. If the content is less than 0.05%, the strength cannot be obtained and when the content exceeds 1.0%, the base metal and the HAZ toughness deteriorate.

Molybdenum (Mo) is preferably 0.05-1.0%.

Mo is also an element that increases the hardenability and improves the strength. The content thereof is 0.05% or more for securing the strength, but the upper limit is set to 1.0% like Cr for suppressing the HAZ hardening and the welding low temperature crack.

In addition, in the present invention, one or two kinds of Ca and REM are further added to suppress the grain growth of the austenite at the time of heating.

Ca and REM form an oxide having excellent high temperature stability, thereby suppressing the growth of the austenite grains when heated in the base metal and improving the toughness of the weld heat affected zone. In addition, Ca has the effect of controlling the coarse MnS shape during steelmaking. To this end, it is preferable to add more than 0.0005% of calcium (Ca) and more than 0.005% of REM, but if Ca exceeds 0.005% of REM of more than 0.05%, large inclusions and clusters are generated to harm the cleanliness of the steel. As REM, 1 type, or 2 or more types, such as Ce, La, Y, and Hf, may be used, and any of the above effects can be obtained.

· Microstructure of steel

The steel material (base material) of the present invention is a composite structure of ferrite + bainite, and the structure fraction of bainite is preferably in the range of 30-80%. If the fraction of bainite is less than 30%, it is difficult to secure the appropriate base material strength, and if it is more than 80%, it is difficult to secure the base material toughness.

In addition, the ferrite grain size in the composite structure of ferrite + bainite is preferably 20 µm or less. This is because when the grain size of the ferrite is larger than 20 μm, the austenite grain size of the weld heat affected zone becomes 80 μm or more during high heat input welding, which is detrimental to the weld heat affected zone toughness.

Distribution of precipitates (TiN + CuS composite precipitates)

The base material of the present invention is to wind the TiN + CuS composite precipitate distribution per 1mm ² 1.0x10 ^seven or more in size 0.01-0.1㎛. If the precipitate size is less than 0.01㎛, it is easily re-used in the base metal during the high heat input welding, so that the effect of inhibiting austenite grain growth is insufficient, and if it exceeds 0.1㎛, the pinning (grain growth inhibition) effect on the austenite grain is small. It behaves like highly coarse nonmetallic inclusions and has a detrimental effect on mechanical properties. If the number of these fine precipitates is less than 1.0 × 10 ⁷ per 1 mm ² , it is difficult to control less than 80 μm, which is the critical austenite grain size of the weld heat-affected zone when welding more than a large heat input. Since these precipitates are more advantageous in suppressing the Ostwald ripening phenomenon in which the precipitates are coarse when uniformly distributed, it is preferable to control the interval of the TiN precipitates to 0.5 μm or less.

[Method of manufacturing welded structural steel]

Refining (Deoxidation, Degassing) Process

In general, the steel refining process consists of an out-of-furnace refining process after the first refining of the converter and the second refining of the molten steel of the converter by ladle. ). Usually deoxidation takes place between primary and secondary refining.

A feature of the present invention is that in such a deoxidation process, the dissolved oxygen is adjusted to an appropriate level or lower, and then Ti is added, so that Ti is mostly dissolved in molten steel without forming Ti as an oxide. For this purpose, it is preferable to inject and deoxidize an element having a greater deoxidizing power than Ti before adding Ti. The deoxidizing power of the deoxidizer is as follows.

Cr <Mn <Si <Ti <Al <REM <Zr <Ca ≒ Mg

The amount of dissolved oxygen is greatly influenced by the formation behavior of the oxide, and the deoxidizer having a high affinity with oxygen has a very high rate of bonding with oxygen in the molten steel. Therefore, if deoxidation is performed using an element having a greater deoxidizing power before adding Ti, it is possible to prevent Ti from forming an oxide as much as possible. Of course, before the addition of the element (Al), which has a greater deoxidizing power than Ti, by adding and deoxidizing Mn, Si and the like, which are the five major elements of steel, and then deoxidizing by adding Al, the amount of deoxidizer added is preferable.

On the other hand, floating separation of inclusions in molten steel is generally known to proceed in the following order. (Dissolution of deoxygenation element in molten steel) → (Involvement of nucleation) → (Growth of inclusions) → (Continuous growth and injury due to collisions between inclusions) → (Removal of slag from slag on molten steel surface) Since the speed of each step varies depending on the type, deoxidation using a strong deoxidation element can lower the dissolved oxygen amount more easily.

In the present invention, the amount of dissolved oxygen is added as low as possible by injecting a strong deoxidation element before the introduction of Ti, and in order to maximize the amount of Ti dissolved in molten steel, it is preferable to set it as at least 30 ppm or less. The reason for this is that when the dissolved oxygen amount exceeds 30 ppm, the oxygen in the molten steel and Ti are combined to form Ti oxide easily when Ti is added, and the amount of solid solution Ti decreases.

On the other hand, according to the 'Stoke Law' widely used in steelmaking, the higher the density of inclusions, the more difficult the inclusions are. Injuries are difficult As the inclusions increase in the steel, the addition of a deoxidation element forming a high density inclusion may be used as an additional advantage according to the distribution of oxides. Has no effect on the effect.

After adjusting the amount of dissolved oxygen according to the present invention, it is preferable to add Ti within 10 minutes so that the content is 0.005-0.2%. If less than 0.005% of Ti is contained in the molten steel after deoxidation, it is difficult to form a large amount of fine TiN in the casting process, and if it contains more than 0.2%, the effect is saturated and the TiN is coarsened to expect the austenite grain suppression effect. Difficult to do The reason for adding Ti within 10 minutes is that Ti oxide is generated and the amount of solid solution Ti decreases as the time after Ti is added. In the case where the vacuum degassing treatment ('RH') is performed in the refining process, the addition of Ti can be performed either before or after the vacuum degassing treatment.

Casting process

In the present invention, the molten steel composed of the chemical component system is continuously cast through a conventional refining process to make a slab. Continuous casting is preferable from the viewpoint of productivity improvement by casting at low speed and giving a weak cooling condition in the secondary cooling zone in consideration of the high possibility of occurrence of cast surface cracks in high nitrogen steel. Cooling conditions in the secondary cooling zone are important factors affecting the refinement and uniform distribution of TiN precipitates.

According to the study of the present invention, the continuous casting speed is more preferably 1.2 m / min or less, more preferably about 0.9 to 1.2 m / min, which is lower than about 1.3 m / min, which is a typical casting speed. The reason is that when the casting speed is less than 0.9m / min, it is advantageous for cast surface cracks, but productivity is lowered. When it is faster than 1.2m / min, cast surface cracks are more likely to occur.

In the secondary cooling zone, the specific water amount is preferably as low as possible, that is, 0.3 to 0.35 l / kg. When the specific amount is less than 0.3 L / kg, it is difficult to control the proper size and number of TiN to show the effect of the present invention due to coarsening of TiN precipitates. In addition, when the specific water content exceeds 0.35L / kg, the precipitation frequency of the TiN precipitates is small, and it is difficult to control the number, size, and the like of TiN precipitates for showing the effects of the present invention.

Hot rolling process

In the present invention, it is preferable to heat the slab at 1000-1250 ° C. for 60-180 minutes. If the slab heating temperature is less than 1000 ℃ it is difficult to secure the size and number of the appropriate CuS precipitates and TiN + CuS composite precipitates for showing the effect of the present invention, when the heating temperature is more than 1250 ℃ appropriate TiN + CuS composite precipitates As the size and number of saturates and the austenite grains grow during heating, it affects the recrystallization during the rolling process, and the austenitic particles are too coarse, so that the ferrite refining effect in the post process is low, thereby deteriorating the mechanical properties of the steel. If the slab heating time is less than 60 minutes, the solidification segregation is reduced, and the time required for distributing TiN + CuS composite precipitates is insufficient. If the heating time is more than 180 minutes, the effect is saturated, and It is undesirable because not only the cost increases but also austenite grain growth in the slab affects the subsequent rolling process. In the section where the reheating temperature is 1000-1100 ℃, the heating time should be 120-180 minutes.

After heating as above, it is preferable to hot-roll at a rolling ratio of 40% or more at the austenite recrystallization zone temperature. The austenite recrystallization zone temperature is affected by the emphasis and the previous reduction amount, and the austenite recrystallization zone temperature is in the range of about 1050 to 850 ° C. in consideration of the usual reduction amount in the emphasis of the present invention. In this section, a rolling ratio of at least 40% should be given. If the rolling ratio is less than 40%, the ferrite nucleation site in the austenite grain is insufficient and the effect of refining the ferrite grains due to austenite recrystallization is insufficient. It affects the precipitate behavior which effectively affects the toughness of the affected zone.

The size of austenite grains during hot rolling is affected by temperature, time in the reheating furnace, and rolling amount.The grain size of austenite affects the quenchability, so if you control it, you can easily obtain the desired fraction of bainite. Can be. In order to increase the fraction of bainite, it is recommended to set the grain size of austenite to 10 µm or more.However, if the grain size of the austenite becomes larger than 50 µm, the quenchability during transformation may become too large to cause martensite transformation. This is high.

After the hot rolling in the present invention, the cooling rate is controlled in the range of 5-20 ° C / sec to the bainite transformation end temperature ± 10 ° C. The phase transformation of the present invention steel occurs in a section within the bainite transformation end temperature ± 10 ℃, the cooling rate must be controlled up to this section. If the accelerated cooling rate is less than 5 ℃ / sec it is difficult to secure the bainite phase fraction for showing the effect of the present invention, when the excess of 20 ℃ / sec martensite phase ratio is increased and harmful to the base material toughness.

Casting of the steel in the present invention can be produced by slab by continuous casting or mold casting. In this case, if the cooling rate is fast, it is advantageous to finely disperse the precipitates, and thus, continuous casting having a high cooling rate is preferable. For the same reason, the slab is advantageously thinner. In the hot rolling process of the slab, hot charge rolling and direct rolling may be applied according to a user's use, and various known techniques such as control rolling and control cooling may be applied. In addition, heat treatment may be applied to improve the mechanical properties of the hot rolled sheet produced according to the present invention. However, even if the well-known techniques are applied to the present invention, it is natural that they are interpreted to be substantially within the technical scope of the present invention as a simple change of the present invention.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail by way of examples.

EXAMPLE

Steel grades having the composition as shown in Table 1 were prepared as slabs by a continuous casting method by melting them in a converter, and then hot-rolled sheets were prepared under the conditions of Table 2.

The test pieces for evaluating the mechanical properties of the base metal from the hot rolled plates as described above were taken at the center of the plate thickness of the rolled material, the tensile test piece was taken in the rolling direction, and the Charpy impact specimen was taken in the direction perpendicular to the rolling direction. It was.

Tensile test piece was used KS standard (KS B 0801) No. 4 test piece and the tensile test was tested at the cross head speed (5mm / mim). The impact test piece was manufactured according to KS (KS B 0809) No. 3 test piece, and the notch direction was processed on the side of the rolling direction (L-T) in the case of the base material and in the welding line direction on the welding material. In addition, in order to investigate the austenite grain size according to the maximum heating temperature of the welding heat affected zone, it is heated to 140 ℃ / sec condition for 1 second after the heating up to the maximum heating temperature (1200 ~ 1400 ℃) by using the simulation welding simulator (simulator). After holding, it was quenched with He gas. The quenched specimens were ground and corroded to determine the austenite grain size at the highest heating temperature condition by KS (KS D 0205).

The size, number, and spacing of precipitates and oxides, which have a significant effect on the microstructure analysis and the toughness of the weld affected zone after cooling, were measured by the point counting method using an image analyzer and an electron microscope. At this time, the test surface was evaluated based on 100 mm ² .

Impact toughness evaluation of the weld heat affected zone is 800-500 ℃ cooling after heating the welding conditions equivalent to about 80 kJ / cm, 150 kJ / cm, 250 kJ / cm, that is, the maximum heating temperature to 1400 ℃ After the welding heat cycles of 60 seconds, 120 seconds, and 180 seconds were applied, the surface of the test piece was polished, processed into an impact test piece, and evaluated through a Charpy impact test at -40 ° C.
