Definitions
- the present invention relates to high-strength low-alloy steels having improved properties.
- the steels are particularly useful in the manufacture of electric-resistance welded line pipe.
- Non-metallic inclusions in a high-strength low-alloy steel reduce the steels resistance to ductile fracture and impair its forming properties. Deterioration of these properties increases with increasing numbers of inclusions and increasing inclusion elongation.
- the steels of the invention have particular applicability to the manufacture of welded line pipe and result in pipe of improved flattenabilty and toughness.
- the desired inclusion characteristics are achieved by controlling overall steel chemistry and deoxidation practice and, most importantly, by the use of an inclusion shape-control agent comprising zirconium, a rare earth, e.g., cerium, lanthanum, praseodymium, neodymium, yttrium, and scandium, or mischmetal which, of course, is a mixture of rare earths.
- an inclusion shape-control agent results in the formation of spherically shaped inclusions, particularly sulfide inclusions, which are not plastic at hot-rolling temperatures and consequently do not become elongated but retain their spherical shape in the finished steel.
- An object of the present invention is to provide steels of improved toughness and ductility. Another object of the invention is to provide welded line pipe characterized by improved flattenability and weld toughness.
- FIGURE of the drawing is a graphical representation of the improved impact properties possessed by the steels of the present invention.
- the steels of the present invention are fully aluminum-killed and have the following chemistry in weight percents: carbon, 0.10 to 0.20 percent; manganese, 0.85 to 1.25 percent; phosphorus, 0.10 percent maximum; sulfur, 0.05 percent maximum; silicon, in amounts not adversely affecting steel properties; columbium, 0.02 to 0.05 percent; vanadium, 0.10 percent maximum; and an inclusion shape-control agent comprising 0.04 to 0.20 percent zirconium, a minimum of about 0.02 percent of a rare earth or mischmetal; and balance iron.
- the inclusion shape-control agent preferably is added to the steel in the ingot mold or in the ladle after the steel has been killed.
- the requisite high strength is imparted to the steel by hot rolling it in a manner to achieve a finishing temperature within the range of l,550 to 1,650 F, followed by in-line cooling at a rate of to 135 F per second to a coiling or piling temperature within the range of 975 to 1,125 F.
- the spherically shaped inclusions formed through the use of the inclusion shape-control agent are not plastic at hot-rolling temperatures and retain their desired spherical form in the finished product.
- the manufacture of welded line pipe the steel is hot-rolled into skelp, formed, and electric-resistance welded.
- FIGURE of the drawing The superior impact properties possessed by welded line pipe manufactured according to the present invention is shown in the FIGURE of the drawing.
- the data on which the FIGURE is based were obtained from transverse one-half size Charpy V-notch specimens taken from 12% inch OD. electric-resistance-welded line pipe.
- All impact data fell within the cross-sectioned area of the figure. This type of steel has been used quite extensively in the manufacture of line pipe.
- Welded pipe runs 2, 3 and 4 comprised fully killed steels having compositions falling within the ranges of steels of the invention, as set out above, and containing zirconium as an inclusion shape-control agent.
- the tests reported in the table were carried out as described in paragraphs 4.14 through 4.16 of API Std. SLX, 16th edition, April 1969.
- Control of inclusion shape which is primarily responsible for the improved properties possessed by the steels of the present invention, is also obtained through the use of 0.01 to 0.10 percent of a rare earth or mixture of rare earths such as mischmetal.
