Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an austenitic stainless steel with high mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance.
  • stainless steels with high mechanical strength and high corrosion resistance are used in chlorinated and sulfuric media or even in both chlorinated and sulfuric media.
  • These stainless steels are superaustenitic steels, austenoferritic steels or superaustenitic steels with a high nitrogen content.
  • Superaustenitic steels with a high nitrogen content are, for these applications, the steels which offer the best performance in terms of combination of mechanical characteristics and corrosion resistance. They are described by two European patents: EP-A-0.438.992 and EP-A-0.342.574.
  • the subject of the present invention is an austenitic stainless steel with a high mechanical characteristic and high corrosion resistance, the chemical composition of which comprises by weight: 20% ⁇ Cr ⁇ 30% 25% ⁇ Ni ⁇ 32% 3% ⁇ MB ⁇ 7% 0.35% ⁇ N ⁇ 0.8% 0.5% ⁇ Mn ⁇ 5.4% C ⁇ 0.06% if ⁇ 1%, the rest, with the exception of iron, being constituted by impurities resulting from the production.
  • the carbon content is less than 0.04%.
  • this steel can also comprise from 0.5% to 3% of copper.
  • this steel contains less than 0.010% sulfur.
  • B 0.0001 to 0.003%
  • Nb 0.001 to 0.3%
  • V from 0.001 at 0.3%
  • Al from 0.001 to 0.1%.
  • this steel contains: 23% ⁇ Cr ⁇ 28% 25% ⁇ Ni ⁇ 28% 4.5% ⁇ MB ⁇ 7%.
  • the composition of the steel according to the invention is as follows: 25% ⁇ Cr ⁇ 26% 25% ⁇ Ni ⁇ 26% 6% ⁇ MB ⁇ 7% 0.4% ⁇ N ⁇ 0.5% 2.5% ⁇ Mn ⁇ 3.5% C ⁇ 0.03% If ⁇ 0.3% 1% ⁇ Cu ⁇ 2%, the rest, with the exception of iron, being constituted by impurities resulting from the production.
  • the invention also relates to the use of the steel according to the invention for the manufacture of equipment for decontaminating smoke from thermal power plants and from plants for the incineration of household waste, in particular gas washing towers. or smoke, gas or smoke pipes and chimneys; for the manufacture of delignification equipment, in particular by the bisulfite process, of filtration and bleaching of paper pulp; for the manufacture of equipment for the chemical industry in chlorinated or acidic environments and in particular for the manufacture of tanks, reservoirs, reactors, pump casing tubes and pump shafts; for the manufacture of off-shore platform equipment subject to corrosion by seawater and / or hydrocarbons and in particular flare supports, heat exchangers, separators, tubular plates, piping for transporting seawater, piping used for the transport of hydrocarbons, elements for protecting pylon areas located in the vicinity of the free surface of the sea, rods, pump shafts, flanges connection, well heads, manifolds (risers) and risers; for the manufacture of road or rail transport tanks of highly corrosive
  • Such steel should contain less than 0.06% carbon to avoid precipitation of carbides at the grain boundaries which deteriorate the corrosion resistance and it is preferable to limit this content to 0.04% and even better to 0.03 %.
  • Steel always contains a little sulfur which is favorable to machinability but which favors pitting corrosion, so it is preferable to have a sulfur content of less than 0.01%.
  • copper can be added between 0.5% and 3% and preferably between 1% and 2%; copper also has the advantage of improving machinability.
  • niobium or vanadium can be added.
  • a steel which contains in its most general form: 20% ⁇ Cr ⁇ 30% 25% ⁇ Ni ⁇ 32% 3% ⁇ MB ⁇ 7% 0.35% ⁇ N ⁇ 0.8% 0.5% ⁇ Mn ⁇ 5.4% C ⁇ 0.06% If ⁇ 1%, the rest, with the exception of iron, being constituted by impurities resulting from the production.
  • Additions of copper, vanadium, niobium, boron, aluminum are optional and can be done alone or in combination.
  • the main alloying elements have, for certain properties, effects all the more favorable as their content is high and for other properties, effects all the less unfavorable as the content is lower; therefore, it is preferable to choose the chemical composition in a composition range which is not too wide. It is therefore preferable, in all cases, to limit the areas of chromium, nickel and molybdenum to: 23% ⁇ Cr ⁇ 28% 25% ⁇ Ni ⁇ 28% 4.5% ⁇ MB ⁇ 7%.
  • This steel may also contain Nb, V, B or Al as indicated above.
  • This steel was produced in the form of a bar 500 mm in diameter obtained after air cooling.
  • a localized corrosion test in a chlorinated medium according to the American standard ASTM G 48 gave a pitting temperature greater than or equal to the boiling point.
  • This steel has an additional advantage which comes from the fact that the product A x R of the elongation at break by the breaking limit is very high (approximately twice as much as for the steels of the prior art used for transport) so that the impact resistance of the walls produced with this steel is very high and in particular much higher than for steels of the prior art.
  • This characteristic has the advantage of making it possible to produce tanks, receptacles or pipes for the transport of corrosive products which are much safer in the event of impact than equivalent equipment produced with steels according to the prior art.
  • This steel makes it particularly suitable for the manufacture of reactors (scrubbers, washing tower, filter tanks, attack tanks), tubes (welded and seamless), chimneys, junction pieces such as flanges, manifolds (manifolds), pipelines (flow lines), separators and tanks for road or rail transport, for industries in which these equipments are subjected to very severe corrosions by pure chlorinated and / or sulfuric media or polluted and in particular for off-shore platforms of petroleum exploitations, for pollution abatement facilities from combustion fumes from thermal power stations or from incineration of household waste, for the preparation of paper pulp in particular by the process called "bisulfite", and in particular for filtration, bleaching and delignification equipment, for the chemical industry and more particularly for equipment nts of hydrometallurgy and fertilizer industry using attack on ores by concentrated sulfuric media.
  • This steel also makes it possible to produce any part subject to abrasion / corrosion in chlorinated and / or acidic environments.
  • the person skilled in the art is constantly looking for steel which has the highest possible mechanical characteristics and the highest possible corrosion resistance without, however, its price being exorbitant in order to produce the most reliable equipment. possible with the longest possible service life and at a price compatible with their industrial operation.
  • the steel according to the invention by virtue of its chemical composition and its properties, is much more advantageous than nickel-based superalloys.
