Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-strength low-alloy steel for seamless steel pipes with excellent weldability and resistance to stress corrosion cracking according to claim 1.
  • Seamless tubes made of high-strength steels are z. B. used for pipes for the transport of oil or gas, which are laid both onshore and offshore.
  • Alloys commonly used for seamless conduits are defined for steels up to 80 ksi (X80) in standards such as API 5L, DNV-OS-F101 and EN 10208. For high strength grades above 80 ksi, these standards do not specify the limits for the alloying elements. When developing higher-strength grades, it must be borne in mind that the steel tubes produced from them are weldable and must possess good strength and toughness properties. While to date standard for steel pipes good to X80 (R min p02 551 MPa, R m min 620 MPa according to API 5L were used, there is now an increasing need for
  • the strength-increasing mechanism which at the same time leads to an increase in toughness, is known to be the reduction of the grain size. This can be achieved, inter alia, by alloying nickel and molybdenum and the associated reduction in the transformation temperature
  • molybdenum improves tempering resistance at higher tempering temperatures and throughput.
  • nickel significantly deteriorates the surface quality of the hot-rolled tubes above a certain alloy content
  • titanium, niobium and vanadium are used. Titanium precipitates as high-coarse titanium nitride at high temperatures. Niobium forms at lower temperatures Niobkarbonit ⁇ d precipitates With further decreasing temperature, vanadium additionally accumulates in carbonitrides , ie it is to be expected with the excretion of VC-Te ⁇ lchen
  • a high strength, low alloy steel for hot rolled seamless steel tubing that meets the requirements of an X100 API 5L for welded tubes is from WO 2007/017161 A1 known
  • This known steel alloy has an alloy concept with C 0 03 - 0.13%, Mn 0.90 - 1, 80%, Si ⁇ 0.40%, P ⁇ 0.020%, S ⁇ 0.005%, Ni 0 , 10 - 1, 00%, Cr 0,20 - 1, 20%, Mo 0,15 - 0,80%, Ca ⁇ 0,040%, V ⁇ 0,10%, Nb ⁇ 0,040%, Ti ⁇ 0,020%, N ⁇ 0.011% and a mixture consisting of bainite and martensite
  • the N ⁇ contents are up to 1% in the known steel very high, which can in the formation of adhesive scale on the surface during hot rolling of the tubes, eg hot pilots, Rohrkontivon, etc, impact, and the surface quality of the pipes strong and would require extensive surface finishing
  • the object of the invention is to provide a low-cost low-alloy steel for the production of high-strength weldable seamless steel tubes, which satisfies the stated requirements for yield strength, tensile strength and impact energy and also ensures good general weldability and sufficient corrosion resistance in sour gas use and after hot rolling has a perfect surface
  • This object is achieved with the features of claim 1.
  • Remaining iron with impurities caused by melting with optional addition of Ti and the proviso that the sum of the contents of Ti + Nb + V is ⁇ 0.04 to ⁇ 0.15% and the ratio Cu / Ni is a value of ⁇ 1 having.
  • the steel alloy according to the invention is based on the development of the pipe steels according to API 5L, ISO 3183, DNV-OS-F101 and EN 10208.
  • copper In addition to nickel, copper also has a positive effect on acid gas resistance. Copper alloyed alone adversely affects hot workability and damages the material Grain boundaries. By alloying Ni with an additionally adjusted with respect to sour gas resistance Cu / Ni ratio (Cu / Ni ⁇ 1), this is compensated.
  • the Ni content is max. 0.60% low enough to produce a sufficiently good surface quality for the tube manufacturing processes mainly used for this steel grade.
  • the seamless steel tubes produced from an operating melt with the steel alloy of the invention listed below have excellent strength and toughness properties.
  • the values are the mean values of three tensile specimens each, or three notched-bar impact specimens.
  • the samples were taken as longitudinal samples from heat-treated tubes made in-house.
  • OD outer diameter
  • WD wall thickness
