Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an aluminum (AI)-containing ferritic stainless steel for use in automobile exhaust-gas-treating apparatuses, heating apparatuses and the like.
  • AI-containing ferritic stainless steels have excellent high temperature oxidation resistance and thus are widely used for parts of heating apparatuses such as stove chimneys, electric heating means, etc.
  • the substrate of metallic catalytic converters is formed of metal foil having a thickness of around 50 microns.
  • This substrate is used in an exhaust gas atmosphere, in which catalytic reaction takes place and, therefore, has to have excellent high temperature oxidation resistance.
  • high-AI ferritic stainless steels essentially comprising 20Cr-5AI and containing rare earth metals (REM), yttrium (Y), etc. are used for this purpose.
  • REM rare earth metals
  • Y yttrium
  • AI-containing ferritic stainless steels are inferior in the toughness of slabs and hot-rolled sheets and, especially, that steels for metallic cataalytic converters containing high levels of chromium (Cr) and AI are poor in toughness and thus cause difficult problems when they are manufactured in a mass production line.
  • the present invention is intended to provide a Fe-Cr-AI-REM, Y ferritic stainless steel for metallic catalytic converters having sufficient high temperature oxidation resistance, excellent toughness and good manufacturability, wherein the A1 2 0 3 formed on the surface thereof does not suffer abnormal oxidation.
  • manganese (Mn) oxide compounds penetrate into the A1 2 0 3 formed on the surface of the steel immediately before the abnormal oxidation occurs.
  • the present invention provides a ferritic stainless steel essentially consisting of: at least one of REM, Y and alkaline earth metals: 0.01 - 0.2 % balance of Fe and inevitable incidental impurities and a ferritic stainless steel essentially consisting of the above-described composition and further contains: at least one of Nb, V and Ti: 0.05 - 1 %.
  • the Mn content is preferably 0.21 % or less and more preferably 0.13 % or less.
  • the Si content is preferably 0.22 % or less and more preferably 0.17 % or less.
  • the reason for defining the composition of the steel of the present invention as above is generally as follows.
  • Si content is the most significant factor in the steel of the present invention. Generally, it is considered that Si is effective for high temperature oxidation resistance. In the case of high-AI-containing ferritic steels, however, the high temperature oxidation resistance thereof is markedly improved by reducing the Si content. We found that the high temperature oxidation resistance of high-AI-containing ferritic stainless steels is markedly improved by reducing both the Si content and the Mn content simultaneously. Also, the toughness of the high-AI-containing ferritic stainless steel can be markedly improved by reducing the Si content. We found that the above-described effects are brought about if the Si content is reduced to less than 0.25 %.
  • Mn In the present invention, the Mn content is significant. Generally Mn is effective for improving hot-workability. In the case of the present invention, however, Mn has a deleterious effect on high temperature oxidation resistance. We found that the high temperature oxidation resistance of high-AI-containing ferritic stainless steels is markedly improved by reducing the Mn content and further by increased addition of Cr, Al, REM, Y, etc. The toughness of the steel of the present invention is also remarkably improved by reduction of the Mn content and the effect is achieved by reducing the Mn content to less than 0.25 %. That is, the lower the Mn content, the better the effect and thus the Mn content is defined as less than 0.25 %.
  • P is an element which is deleterious to high temperature oxidation resistance as well as toughness of steels and, therefore, the lower the P content, the better the steel properties in general. In the case of the present invention, the P content should be not more than 0.03 %.
  • S forms compounds with REM, Y, etc. which degrade the surface properties as non-metallic inclusions. Also S consumes metallic REM, Y etc., which are effective for high temperature oxidation resistance. These adverse effects are great when the content is 0.001% or more. That is, the high temperature oxidation resistance is improved by reducing the S content to less than 0.001 %. In the present invention, the S content is defined as less than 0.001 %.
  • N reduces toughness of steels of the kind contemplated by the present invention. Also, it forms AIN consuming Al, which is effective for providing the steel with high temperature oxidation resistance, and thus inducing abnormal oxidation.
  • the N content is defined as not more than 0.03 %.
  • Cr is a fundamental element that provides the steel with high temperature oxidation resistance. At least 15 % of Cr is required in order to exhibit its effect. On the other hand, Cr in excess of 25 % deteriorates the toughness of slabs and hot coils, causing difficulty in manufacturing. Thus the Cr content is defined as 15 - 25 %.
  • AI is an essential element as well as Cr for providing the steel with high temperature oxidation resistance.
  • Cr Cr
  • abnormal oxidation readily occurs.
  • addition of not less than 3 % of AI is necessary.
  • the AI content need not be excessively high. Rather, AI in excess of 6 % deteriorates the toughness of slabs and hot coils. Thus the AI content is defined as 3 - 6 %.
  • REM, Y and alkaline earth metals These are important elements which improve the high temperature oxidation resistance of Fe-Cr-AI alloys. They greatly improve the protecting effect of the formed oxide film, well inhibit abnormal oxidation, which easily develops in very thin materials, and improve adherence of the produced oxide film to the substrate. With a content of less than 0.01 %, the effect is not exhibited. To the contrary, at a content in excess of 0.2 %, they adversely affect hot-workability, making manufacture difficult, and form non-metallic inclusions impairing the surface properties. Thus the content of these elements is defined as 0.01 - 0.2 %.
  • Nb, V and Ti When contained in suitable amounts, these elements combine with C and N in the steel and greatly improve the toughness of the steel.
  • the steel of the present invention is used in severe high temperature environments and thus is required to be provided with excellent high temperature strength. Addition of these elements is very effective for this purpose. Addition of 0.05 % or more is required. The maximum amount is limited to 1 % since addition of excessive amount hardens the steel.
  • the high temperature oxidation resistance of high-AI-containing ferritic steels is provided by the A1 2 0 3 which forms on the surface of the steel. Therefore, it is considered that the high temperature oxidation resistance will be improved as the AI content is increased.
  • Test specimens of the compositions indicated in Table 1 respectively having a thickness of 50 microns were subjected to an oxidation test at 1150 °C and the time until abnormal oxidation occurred was measured. The results are also indicated in Table 1. From these results, it is apparent that with increase in the contents of Cr and AI and addition of REM, high temperature oxidation resistance is improved and the steel becomes less susceptible to abnormal oxidation.
  • Respectively 30 kg heats of the steels of the compositions indicated in Table 4 were melted and casted and the ingots were forged, machined, hot-rolled and, thereafter, made into 30 micron thick sheets by repeating annealing and cold rolling. These samples were subjected to an oxidation test at 1150 °C and the time upto the occurrence of the abnormal oxidation was measured. The results are also shown in Table 4. The results show that for the steels of the present invention the time required for the occurrence of abnormal oxidation was remarkably prolonged in comparison with conventional steels, that is, the oxidation resistance of the steel of the present invention is greatly improved.
  • the present invention provides an inexpensive steel material having excellent high temperature oxidation resistance and excellent toughness without adding unnecessarily large amounts of Cr, Al, REM and Y.
