Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a duplex stainless steel having excellent corrosion resistance and moldability, and a method of manufacturing the duplex stainless steel and a method of manufacturing the duplex stainless steel.

The present invention relates to a duplex stainless steel and a method of manufacturing the duplex stainless steel, and relates to a duplex stainless steel excellent in corrosion resistance and moldability and a method of manufacturing the duplex stainless steel.

Generally, austenitic stainless steel, which is generally good in workability and corrosion resistance, contains Fe and Cr as a major raw material, and Ni and other elements such as Mo and Cu are added to develop various steel types .

300 series stainless steel excellent in corrosion resistance and workability include Ni and Mo which are expensive raw materials, and 400 series stainless steel is discussed as an alternative to this, but the problem that the formability is less than 300 series stainless steel Lt; / RTI > It can be applied to the corrosion resistance of 400 grade according to the use environment in the plate which is relatively less molded than the heat / cold laminate with large molding amount. However, it is used as the thick plate due to the shock characteristic and thermal deterioration of 400 stainless steel There are many limitations to this.

On the other hand, duplex stainless steel mixed with austenite phase and ferrite phase has all the advantages of austenitic and ferritic stainless steels, and various types of duplex stainless steels have been developed to date.

Duplex stainless steel having two phases of austenite phase and ferrite phase has excellent strength and corrosion resistance, and is more than twice as high in yield strength as austenitic stainless steel, and has a formula in chlorine atmosphere, crevice corrosion and stress corrosion cracking The resistance is very good, and its use is increasing steadily as industrial equipment related to seawater.

There are several types of duplex stainless steels and they are classified as follows according to their corrosion resistance level.

The representative steel of Standard Duplex stainless steels based on 22% Cr by weight is UNS32205 (22Cr-5Ni-3Mo-0.18N), similar to 317L austenitic stainless steels with low Mo content, Low-grade duplex stainless steel, which has corrosion resistance similar to knight stainless steel, is called Lean Duplex stainless steel.

UNS32750 (25Cr-7Ni-3.5Mo-0.28N) is the representative steel of Super Duplex stainless steel which has higher corrosion resistance based on 25% Cr by weight. As described above, the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel is determined depending on the contents of Cr, Mo, W, and N, so that the higher the content of these elements, the higher the corrosion resistance. Of the duplex stainless steels currently available in sheet form, the highest corrosion resistant steels are super duplex stainless steels.

However, when used in a seawater atmosphere, the seawater is concentrated depending on the location of the equipment and is often exposed in a very harsh environment. In such a circumstance, even in the case of super duplex stainless steel, it may be difficult to use stably. In order to increase the content of Cr, Mo, W and N, a super corrosion resistant duplex stainless steel sheet having corrosion resistance is required.

However, since the increase in the content of the corrosion resistant strengthening alloying elements such as the above-mentioned components not only deteriorates the hot workability but also increases the deposition rate on the sigma (s) phase and the chi (c) phase, the continuous casting-hot rolling- In the case of a general plate material manufacturing process, if the temperature control between the processes is not easy, there is a disadvantage that the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the steel are lowered due to the failure of precipitation control. Therefore, there is a limit in improving the corrosion resistance of the super corrosion resistant duplex stainless steel due to the increase of the content of the reinforcing element.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are provided to fully convey the spirit of the present invention to a person having ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention belongs. The present invention is not limited to the embodiments shown herein but may be embodied in other forms. For the sake of clarity, the drawings are not drawn to scale, and the size of the elements may be slightly exaggerated to facilitate understanding.

A duplex stainless steel excellent in corrosion resistance and moldability according to an embodiment of the present invention is characterized by containing, by weight%, C: not more than 0.05% (excluding 0), Cr: 24.5 to 32.5%, Mo: 2.0 to 4.0%, W: 2.5 (Excluding 0), Mn: not more than 2.0% (excluding 0), N: 0.25 to 0.45%, Si: not more than 1.0% (excluding 0), Nb: 0.2% or less (excluding 0), the balance Fe and other unavoidable impurities.

C: 0.05% or less (excluding 0)

C is an element effective for increasing the material strength by solid solution strengthening, but it is easily combined with a carbide forming element such as Cr which is effective for corrosion resistance at the ferrite-austenite phase boundary in an excessive amount, thereby lowering the Cr content around the grain boundary to reduce the corrosion resistance Therefore, the content of C is limited to 0.05% or less. In order to minimize the risk of precipitation of carbide which may hinder corrosion resistance, the content of C is preferably 0.03% or less.

Cr, Mo, and W are essential stabilizers for ferrite phase stabilization, and are essential elements for securing high corrosion resistance as well as securing the ferrite phase of duplex stainless steels. Increasing the content increases the corrosion resistance but increases the content of stabilizing elements of austenite in order to maintain the phase fraction. Thus, there is a disadvantage that the cost increases and the hot workability deteriorates, and the content range is limited for each element as follows.

Cr : 24.5 to 32.5%

Cr is the most element among the elements improving the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel and is a basic element, but has a relatively small influence on the deterioration of hot workability. Considering the Mo and W content, the range of Cr content that can control the seawater corrosion resistance and the precipitate for plate production is limited to 24.5 to 32.5%. For example, Cr is more preferably 26.0 to 28.0%.

Mo : 2.0 to 4.0%, W: 2.5 to 4.5%

W and Mo are more resistant to corrosion than Cr. W, which is twice as heavy as Mo, is known to exhibit the same effect as Mo in improving corrosion resistance when calculated by atomic ratio. However, when W is contained in combination with Mo, , It is necessary to add a compound in order to maximize the effect of improving the corrosion resistance.

Since the chi (c) phase precipitated preferentially according to the addition of W is advantageous in delaying the interfacial emulsification rate by delaying the precipitation on the sigma (s) with time, it is required to add at least 2.5% or more and is mainly involved in the precipitation of sigma phase At least 2% of Mo should be added to maximize the W addition effect.

However, if the content of W and Mo is too large, it is impossible to control the precipitate, so there is a limit to the increase of the content. Therefore, Mo is limited to 2.0 to 4.0% and W is limited to 2.5 to 4.5% in consideration of the range 35 to 55 of the crevice corrosion constant K value. For example, it is more preferable that Mo is 2.3 to 2.8% and W is 3.0 to 3.5%.

Since Ni, Cu, Mn and N play an important role in ensuring austenite phase fraction of duplex stainless steel as an austenite phase stabilizing element and can improve corrosion resistance or degrade workability and corrosion resistance depending on the alloy composition, Considering the addition amount of Cr, Mo and W based on ensuring the resistance, the content range is defined as follows for each element so that the volume fraction of ferrite phase is 40 to 65%.

Ni : 6.0 to 10.0%

Ni is the most powerful element among the austenite phase stabilizing elements, and has an advantage of improving the front corrosion as well as the main role for balancing the phase fraction of the duplex stainless steel. The increase in Ni content is directly related to the increase in raw material price, so it needs to be minimized. The range of the Ni content is set to 6.0 to 10.0% in consideration of the contents of Cu, Mn and N in the steel having a crevice corrosion constant K value in the range of 35 to 55. For example, Ni is more preferably 6.5 to 7.5%.

Cu: 2.0% or less (excluding 0)

Cu has an advantage of improving the corrosion resistance in a sulfuric acid atmosphere. However, in the chlorine atmosphere, the Cu content is limited to 2.0% or less because it has a disadvantage in reducing the formal resistance and lowering the hot workability. For example, Cu is more preferably 1.2% or less (excluding 0).

Mn: 2.0% or less (excluding 0)

Mn is a useful element that uses an appropriate amount for improving the fluidity of the molten metal, but is also widely used as an austenite phase stabilizing element that can replace expensive Ni in duplex stainless steel in order to secure a phase fraction. However, the increase of Mn content is not desirable when the corrosion resistance is required because it is involved in the formation of inclusions such as MnS. Therefore, the Mn content is limited to 2.0% or less in order to secure the resistance to seawater corrosion. For example, Mn is more preferably 0.9 to 1.1%.

N: 0.25 to 0.45%

For example, N is preferably set to 0.30 to 0.45%.

N is a useful element that can improve the corrosion resistance in a chlorine atmosphere, as well as to make the strength of duplex stainless steel strong. However, if the N content is too high, the hot workability is reduced and the yield rate is lowered. Therefore, it is desirable to limit the N content to 0.25 to 0.45% in consideration of Cr, Mo, and W contents for securing corrosion resistance against seawater. For example, it is more preferable to set N to 0.30 to 0.45%.

Si : 1.0% or less (excluding 0)

Si is an important element used as a de-oxidizing material in the production of duplex stainless steel and is essentially contained in a certain amount.

Si, which is also used as a ferrite phase stabilizing element, is limited to 1.0% or less because it promotes the precipitation of an intermetallic compound to deteriorate the mechanical properties associated with impact toughness. For example, Si is more preferably 0.15 to 0.7%.

Nb : Not more than 0.2% (excluding 0)

Nb is strong in affinity with C and N to easily form carbides and nitrides, and is formed at a high temperature to inhibit the growth of grains during heat treatment of steel, thereby finer texture and thereby yield strength. However, it is possible to promote precipitation of an intermetallic compound upon overdosing, and it is preferable to limit the production to 0.2% or less because it causes an increase in manufacturing cost with an expensive element.

The duplex stainless steel excellent in corrosion resistance and moldability according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an austenite phase having an aspect ratio of 1.0 to 3.0 among microstructures.

Generally, duplex stainless steels coexist in ferrite phase and austenite phase, and both phases are elongated in the rolling direction during rolling. That is, the aspect ratio, which is the ratio of the length to the thickness of each phase, increases. Since each of these phases has different materials, the anisotropy of the structure due to the difference in material between the phases increases, It is disadvantageous.

Therefore, according to the embodiments of the present invention, the tissue anisotropy can be improved by finely controlling the tissue and controlling the aspect ratio of each phase by optimizing the component control and the manufacturing process. That is, it is possible to improve the tissue anisotropy by controlling the elongated structure in equiaxed crystal form. In addition, the elongation of the material can be improved by improving the anisotropy of the structure.

For example, the microstructure may comprise, in volume fractions, from 40 to 65% ferrite phase and from 45 to 55% austenite phase. This is necessary to maintain the characteristics of the duplex structure steel.

The present invention relates to a ferrite-austenitic stainless steel. The ferrite-austenitic structure referred to in the present invention means that the ferrite phase and the austenite phase occupy most of the structure, and the ferritic phase and the austenite phase And the like. For example, when the ferrite phase and the austenite phase occupy most of the structure, it means that the sum of the ferrite phase and the austenite phase accounts for 90% or more in the structure forming the stainless steel, and the ferrite phase and the austenite phase May be occupied by the martensite phase in which the austenite phase is transformed.

For example, the duplex stainless steel may have a formal equivalent index (PREN) value of 45.0 or greater.

Generally, the highest corrosion resistance of duplex stainless steels applicable in seawater atmosphere is the Super Duplex S32750 steel with 25Cr - 7Ni, which is composed of Cr, Mo, W, and N contents, Has a value of 40. Therefore, in order to secure a corrosion resistance level that can be used for a long time in a seawater atmosphere, the PREN value should be higher than that of super duplex stainless steel. To this end, the present invention increases the content of Cr, Mo, W and N, Accordingly, the value of the formula-internal-equivalent-index (PREN) may be 45.0 or more.

For example, the duplex stainless steel may have a yield strength (YS) of 800 MPa or more and a tensile strength (TS) of 1 GPa or more.

The duplex stainless steel contains a trace amount of Nb to suppress the growth of crystal grains during the heat treatment of the steel, thereby miniaturizing the structure and thereby improving the yield strength.

For example, the duplex stainless steel may have an elongation greater than 20%. Further, the duplex stainless steel can satisfy the following formula (1).

EI _RD - EI _TD ≤ 3.0 ------ Equation (1)

Here, EI _RD means elongation in the rolling direction and EI _TD means elongation in the rolling direction.

By controlling the aspect ratio of the austenite phase in the microstructure of the duplex stainless steel of the present invention, it is possible to reduce the difference in the elongation value according to the rolling direction, thereby improving the tissue anisotropy. Therefore, the formability of the steel can be improved by improving the anisotropy of the structure.

For example, the duplex stainless steel may be a cold rolled thin plate having a thickness of 1.0 to 1.5 mm.

Cr, and Mo is added, it is easy to precipitate intermetallic compounds that cause brittleness of steel in the microstructure. As the content of the elements increases, the temperature required for precipitation increases and the time is advanced. The slow cooling rate during the continuous casting in slabs prevents precipitation of intermetallic compounds.

Accordingly, in the present invention, a continuous casting thickness is cast in the form of a thin plate of 3.0 to 5.0 mm, and water is sprayed during cooling to obtain a rapid cooling rate, and the material is cooled before the time required for precipitation of the intermetallic compound. However, precipitation of intermetallic compounds is remarkably reduced compared to materials having the same composition through slab casting and hot rolling through a conventional production process, such as continuous casting. However, intermetallic compounds including Cr, Mo, and Nb The precipitation of the precipitate did not completely disappear. Thereafter, the intermetallic compound formed in the continuous casting process can be reused through the heat treatment process of the continuous casting plate material.

A method of producing a nickel-reduced duplex stainless steel according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises: a step of preparing a nickel-reduced duplex stainless steel having a C content of 0.05% or less (excluding 0), 24.5 to 32.5% of Cr, 2.0 to 4.0% (Excluding 0), Mn: 2.0% or less (excluding 0), N: 0.25 to 0.45%, Si: 1.0% or less (excluding 0), Nb: 0.2% % Or less (excluding 0), the balance Fe and other unavoidable impurities, and cold-rolling the duplex stainless steel sheet.

Here, the duplex stainless steel sheet may be continuously cast by strip casting the molten steel.

For example, the duplex stainless steel sheet may be cast to a thickness of 3.0 to 5.0 mm.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the step of water-cooling the duplex stainless steel sheet and the step of heat-treating the duplex stainless steel sheet at a temperature of 1,100 to 1,150 ° C for 30 to 180 seconds may be further included.

The duplex stainless steel thin plate continuously cast can be water-cooled by spraying water during cooling. Thus, rapid cooling rate of the duplex stainless steel sheet can be obtained, so that the material is cooled before the time required for precipitation of the intermetallic compound can do.

Thereafter, the intermetallic compound formed in the continuous casting can be reused by heat-treating the duplex stainless steel sheet.

The duplex stainless steel sheet is cold-rolled, and at this time, it can be cold-rolled at a total reduction ratio of 50% or more.

For example, the cold-rolled cold rolled sheet may be 1.0 to 1.5 mm thick.

In one embodiment of the present invention, the method may further include a step of heat-treating the cold-rolled thin plate at a temperature of 1,100 to 1,150 ° C for 10 to 30 seconds.

As a result of this heat treatment, all the rolled microstructure in the cold rolled thin plate can be recrystallized.

For example, the cold-rolled cold rolled thin plate may include an austenite phase having an aspect ratio of 1.0 to 3.0 among microstructures. For example, the microstructure may comprise, in volume fractions, from 40 to 65% ferrite phase and from 45 to 55% austenite phase. The description thereof is as described above.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples.

Tensile test specimens of JIS 13B standard were prepared for each steel material in a direction parallel and perpendicular to the rolling direction and subjected to tensile test at room temperature according to the ASTM E8 method.

Here, PREN is a value calculated as Cr + 3.3 (Mo + 0.5W) + 16N which is commonly used, and the elongation difference by direction (EI _RD - EI _TD ) obtained by subtracting the rolling vertical elongation from the rolling elongation it means.

The method of measuring the aspect ratio of the austenite phase is to estimate the length and thickness of each austenite phase with respect to 10 austenite phases in the circle area, assuming a virtual circle having a diameter of 100 m at any point in the microstructure The ratio was then averaged.

1 is a photograph of microstructure of a duplex stainless steel cold rolled thin plate according to an embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a photograph showing microstructure of a duplex stainless steel cold rolled thin plate according to a comparative example of the present invention.

FIG. 1 is a photograph of the microstructure of the inventive steel 1, and FIG. 2 is a photograph of the microstructure of the comparative steel 1.

1 and 2, the microstructure of the inventive steel 1 has an equiaxed microstructure in which the ratio of length and thickness of the austenite phase is small, while in the microstructure of the comparative steel 1, the austenite phase is in the rolling direction And it can be confirmed that it has a shape elongated long.

That is, in the inventive steels, the aspect ratio of the austenite phase was measured to have a value of 1.0 to 3.0, and in the case of the comparative steels, the aspect ratio of the austenite phase was measured to have a value of 3.5 to 9.0, It can be seen that it has a large aspect ratio as compared with the invention steel.

In case of the inventive steels, the contents of Cr, Mo, W, N and the like in the constituent system of the duplex stainless steel are controlled so that the PREN value is not less than 45.0 and not only the comparative steels but also the inner formula equivalence index ) Value of 40 is much higher than that of Super Duplex S32750 steel.

In the inventive steels, the yield strength and the tensile strength can be improved by adding a trace amount of Nb, and it can be seen that the steels have improved strength compared with the comparative steels without Nb added.

In the elongation ratios, it is found that the inventive steels have a small difference in elongation per direction and the formability is improved by minimizing the anisotropy of the microstructure. In the case of the comparative steels, the formability is decreased due to the large aspect ratio.

That is, it was confirmed that the inventive steels were superior in yield strength and tensile strength to those of comparative steels, and had excellent elongation. In addition, the inventive steels have a lower elongation ratio than the comparative steels according to the direction of the tensile test, and the anisotropy according to this direction can be expected to improve the formability of the steel.

Therefore, it is possible to expand the application range by improving the elongation difference according to the direction due to the tissue anisotropy which has been conventionally pointed out in the duplex stainless steel cold rolled steel sheet conventionally. By securing high strength and high corrosion resistance, duplex stainless steel can be used for off- It can be used as an industrial structural material.

It will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
