- a high-strength steel sheet that is excellent in fracture resistance and hydrogen-induced cracking resistance even if it is thick.
- Chemical composition C 0.02% or more and 0.07% or less
- C is known as an element having a great influence on the strength of steel. If the C content is less than 0.02%, it is necessary for applications such as line pipe. It becomes difficult to obtain strength. If the C content exceeds 0.07%, a macro-segregation portion is likely to be formed at the thickness center portion of the slab during continuous casting, which causes generation of HIC. Therefore, the content range of C is set to 0.02% or more and 0.07% or less.

For this reason, the range of Mn content shall be 1.10% or more and 1.60% or less. From the viewpoint of ensuring the HIC resistance at the center segregation part, the Mn content is preferably less than 1.50%.
- P 0.015% or less
- P is one of impurity elements inevitably contained in steel, and is preferably as low as possible. Since P has a small distribution coefficient at the solid-liquid interface at the time of solidification, it tends to segregate remarkably and concentrate at the center segregation part, thereby degrading the HIC resistance. Therefore, the upper limit of the P content is set to 0.015%. From the viewpoint of ensuring the HIC resistance at the center segregation part, the P content is preferably less than 0.008%.
- S 0.0003% or less
- S is one of impurity elements inevitably contained in steel, and is preferably as low as possible. Since S also has a small distribution coefficient at the solid-liquid interface at the time of solidification, it not only segregates remarkably, but also generates MnS at the segregation part and becomes the starting point of HIC generation.

- Ti 0.005% or more and 0.020% or less Ti has an effect of improving the strength of steel.
- the amount of precipitation of NbN and AlN is reduced by fixing N in the steel as TiN, resulting in dynamic precipitation of NbN and AlN at the ⁇ grain boundaries during bending and straightening of the slab of continuous casting.
- 0.005% or more of Ti is added.
- an increase in the Ti content causes a decrease in weld toughness.
- TiN functions as a precipitation nucleus when coarse Nb carbonitride which causes generation of HIC is precipitated.
- Ti carbonitride itself causes HIC generation. Therefore, the Ti content is set to 0.020% or less.
- a preferable Ti content is 0.010% or more and 0.020% or less.
- Al 0.005% or more and 0.060% or less
- Al is also an element effective for reducing the oxygen concentration in steel as a deoxidizing element in the same manner as Si.
- the Al content is 0.005% or more.
- the Al content is less than 0.005%, desulfurization is insufficient due to insufficient deoxidation.
- the yield of Ca addition deteriorates and the effect cannot be obtained sufficiently.
- the segregation of sulfide and S in the steel is likely to occur, resulting in a decrease in HIC resistance.
- alumina produced by deoxidation with Al may cause HIC.
- Al content shall be 0.060% or less.
- Ca 0.0005% or more and 0.0006% or less Ca can reduce the S concentration to prevent the formation of MnS and control the form of sulfide. For this reason, Ca is often added to HIC-resistant steel. In order to acquire said effect, 0.0005% or more of Ca is contained. However, even if 0.0006% or more is added, the effect is saturated and the manufacturing cost increases. Therefore, the Ca content is set to 0.0005% or more and 0.0006% or less.
- N 0.0015% or more and 0.0070% or less
- N is an element that inevitably enters steel when it is melted in an air atmosphere such as a converter, and affects the mechanical properties of the steel material. Affects organization formation. In steel materials, N forms nitrides with Al, Ti, etc., and these nitrides have the effect of refining crystal grains as pinned particles in the process of hot working. In order to obtain such a preferable effect of N, the N content is set to 0.0015% or more.
- N is a constituent element of coarse Nb carbonitride that causes generation of HIC.

- a preferable N content is 0.0015% or more and 0.0050% or less.
- the upper limit of the C and Mn contents is set to be relatively low in order to suppress the generation of MnS and reduce C segregation.
- alloy elements such as Cu, Ni, Cr, and Mo are often included for the purpose of ensuring the strength of the steel sheet.
- one or more selected from Cu, Ni, Cr and Mo are contained, and the total content thereof is made to exceed 0.1%.
- the total content of the above elements is set to less than 1.5%.
- the total content is preferably 0.15% or more and 1.0% or less, and the upper limit is more preferably 0.5%.

- Cu improves the hardenability of steel.
- the Cu content exceeds 0.5%, the hot workability and machinability of the steel material deteriorate.
- surface cracks copper cracks
- Ni 1.0% or less Ni has the effect of improving the toughness as well as improving the strength of the steel by solid solution strengthening. In order to obtain these effects, it is preferable to contain 0.1% or more of Ni. However, even if Ni is contained in an amount exceeding 1.0%, the effect is saturated, and there is a possibility that an adverse effect of degrading weldability may become apparent.
- Cr 0.5% or less
- the coefficient in C equivalent C + Mn / 6 + (Cr + Mo) / 5 + (Cu + Ni) / 15
- Cr significantly increases the strength by adding a small amount.
- Cr also has the effect of increasing the toughness of the steel. For this reason, when it is necessary to satisfy high strength specifications such as API X80 grade, Cr is often contained. In order to obtain these effects, it is preferable to contain 0.05% or more of Cr. However, when Cr is contained exceeding 0.5%, problems such as weld cracking are likely to occur. When emphasizing weldability, the Cr content is preferably 0.4% or less.
- Mo 0.5% or less Mo improves the hardenability of the steel sheet and contributes to an increase in strength.
- Mo since it is an element that does not easily cause micro-segregation, it has an effect of suppressing the generation of HIC due to center segregation.
- Mo is an expensive element, an increase in content causes an increase in cost.
- the Mo content exceeds 0.5%, a hardened phase such as bainite and martensite is likely to be generated, and there is a concern that the HIC resistance is rather deteriorated. For this reason, the Mo content is set to 0.5% or less. Since the influence on the reduction of the HIC resistance is larger than that of other elements, the Mo content is preferably 0.3% or less. Since Mo is more expensive than other elements, when Mo is contained, it is preferable to contain it together with other elements rather than containing Mo alone.
- the steel according to the present invention may further contain V.
- V 0.01% or more and 0.10% or less
- V increases the strength of the steel by forming a solid solution in the ferrite or forming a carbonitride in the steel.
- V it is preferable to contain V 0.01% or more.
- the V content exceeds 0.10%, the precipitation state in the weld heat affected zone changes, so there is a concern that the toughness will be adversely affected. Therefore, when V is contained, the content is made 0.10% or less.
- the steel structure of the steel sheet according to the present invention can be specified by observing a cross section of the steel sheet and identifying the phase or structure in the field of view.
- the steel structure of the steel sheet according to the present invention is composed of bainite, ferrite and pearlite, and the area ratio of bainite is 10% or more.
- the cross section of the steel sheet is observed at the thickness center.
- the steel structure is a uniform structure composed of bainite, ferrite and pearlite, and does not substantially contain martensite, retained austenite and the like. For this reason, center segregation becomes slight and generation of HIC is suppressed. Moreover, ensuring the intensity
- the steel sheet according to the present invention has an Nb segregation degree of less than 1.60 and a Mn segregation degree of less than 1.40 at the thickness center of the steel sheet. By controlling the degree of segregation in this way, the generation of HIC is efficiently suppressed.

- dividing the highest value (highest content) of measurement data by average content is made into the segregation degree of the element.
- the degree of inclusion segregation can be grasped quantitatively.
- HIC resistance characteristics In general, for evaluation of HIC resistance characteristics, 0.5% acetic acid + 5% NaCl 1 bar H 2 S saturated solution (pH: about 3) as defined in NACE Standard TM-02-84. 25 ° C. or lower, referred to as “NACE solution”). However, test conditions using this NACE solution (referred to as “NACE conditions”) are very different from the actual corrosive environment. The actual corrosive environment is much milder than NACE conditions, in particular the higher pH and the partial pressure of H 2 S contained in the gas supplied to the solution until it is saturated to contain H 2 S in the solution. (In the present invention, it is also referred to as “saturated H 2 S partial pressure”). When the corrosive environment is different, the corrosion phenomenon itself may be different, so it is desirable to evaluate under test conditions close to the actual corrosive environment.
- the corrosion conditions in which the same corrosion phenomenon as in the actual corrosion environment occurs are the Mild-Sour region (region III) and the Transition region (region II) shown in FIG. Therefore, it is desirable to evaluate the HIC resistance characteristics under the conditions within the ranges of Region II and Region III.
- the region where the regions II and III are combined is a region where the saturated H 2 S partial pressure (P H2S ) and pH satisfy the following formulas (A) to (C): 0.003 ⁇ 10 5 Pa ⁇ P H2S ⁇ 0.01 ⁇ 10 5 Pa and 3.5 ⁇ pH ⁇ 6.0 (A), 0.01 ⁇ 10 5 Pa ⁇ P H2S ⁇ 1 ⁇ 10 5 Pa, 3.5 ⁇ pH ⁇ 6.0, and pH ⁇ log [P H2S / 10 5 Pa] +5.5 (B), 1 ⁇ 10 5 Pa ⁇ P H2S ⁇ 10 ⁇ 10 5 Pa and 5.5 ⁇ pH ⁇ 6.0 (C).
- the Mild Sour region (region III) shown in FIG. 1 substantially includes conditions assumed to be in a real corrosive environment. Therefore, the cracked area ratio of a sample immersed for 96 hours (25 ° C.) in the same sodium chloride-containing aqueous acetic acid solution as that used in the NACE test under the test conditions in the range III is measured. If it is 0.0% or less, it can be determined that it has the HIC resistance required in an actual corrosive environment.
- the transition region (region II) shown in FIG. 1 is a region where the corrosion phenomenon is assumed to be almost the same as the actual corrosion environment, although the conditions are slightly severer than the actual corrosion environment. Even when the same test as above is performed under the test conditions within the range II, if the crack area ratio is 5.0% or less, the HIC resistance required in an actual corrosion environment is stably obtained. It is judged that
- the Sour region (region I) shown in FIG. 1 is not only more corrosive than the actual corrosive environment, but the corrosion phenomenon that causes cracking may be different from that seen in the actual corrosive environment. Get higher. Even if such a corrosion phenomenon is tested under conditions different from the actual corrosion environment, the actual HIC resistance cannot be properly determined.
- the BP condition (NACE TM0284-Solution B) using artificial seawater with the same saturated H 2 S partial pressure is also included in the region I. That is, the conventional NACE conditions and BP conditions, which are test conditions, are included in the region I and are not suitable for the purpose of evaluating the HIC resistance in an actual corrosion environment.
- the saturated H 2 S partial pressure (P H2S ) is 0.01 ⁇ 10 5 Pa and the pH is 4.0 (which is a relatively severe condition in the region II.
- the test condition of point A) in FIG. 1 is adopted. That is, the resistance to cracking is determined by the cracked area ratio after immersion in a 5% sodium chloride-containing acetic acid aqueous solution (25 ° C.) having a saturated H 2 S partial pressure (P H2S ) of 0.01 ⁇ 10 5 Pa and a pH of 4.0 for 96 hours. Evaluate HIC characteristics. The pH of the aqueous solution is adjusted to 4.0 by the acetic acid concentration. As described above, if the crack area ratio when tested under this condition included in the region II is 5.0% or less, it is determined that the HIC characteristics required in the actual corrosion environment are stable. can do.
- the crack area ratio of the steel sheet according to the present invention measured under the above conditions is preferably 3.0% or less, more preferably 2.0% or less, and even more preferably 1.0% or less.
- the crack area ratio is most preferably 0%.
- the steel sheet according to the present invention has a ductile fracture surface ratio (DWTT-SA @ -30) of 85% or more when a DWTT test is performed at -30 ° C on a steel sheet having a thickness of 6 mm to 40 mm. It is.

Abstract
Description
硫化水素(H2S)を含む環境中でパイプが使用されると、水素がイオン化してパイプに吸蔵される。この吸蔵された水素がパイプ中の介在物にトラップされ、トラップされた水素がパイプ内に高応力を発生させ、パイプ内部に亀裂を発生させる。
HICの発生を抑制するには、パイプ内に吸蔵された水素をトラップする介在物を減少させることが好ましい。このため、鋼の清浄度を高く保つ必要がある。また、中心偏析部では低温変態組織(マルテンサイト、ベイナイト等)が形成されやすく、この低温変態組織ではHICが発生しやすい。このため、C、Mn、P等の含有量を低減し、偏析の発生を抑制することが必要である。
特許文献1には、鋼材中にMnSが存在すると、これを起点として割れが発生し、MnSが圧延時に長く伸展すると割れ感受性を増大することから、鋼中のS含有量を低下するとともに、鋼中にCaやREMを添加することによって、鋼中のSを微細な球状化したCaSやREM硫化物とすることが開示されている。
特許文献4~6には、最近の鋼材の要求強度スペックの向上に伴って、上記の中心偏析部やMnS生成に対する単独対策のみでは不十分な場合が多くなってきたため、鋼中にCuやNiを添加することにより表面に保護被膜を形成して鋼中への水素の浸入を抑制するとともに、CrやMo等の添加や圧延時の加工熱処理(TMCP)を併用することが開示されている。
上記課題を解決するために本発明者らが鋭意検討した結果、次の知見を得た。すなわち、従来、耐HIC特性(耐Sour性能)の評価は、高H2S分圧かつ低pH環境であるNACE(National Association of Corrosion and Engineer)のTM0284に準拠したNACE条件にて行われていた。しかし、H2S分圧やpHにより腐食のパラメータは変動するため、そのような過酷な環境における腐食現象と、実腐食環境における腐食現象とは相違している可能性がある。そのため、優れた耐HIC特性が得られる鋼組織や製造方法をより適切に把握するには、過酷な条件での評価よりも、実腐食環境に即した条件、すなわち相対的に低H2S分圧かつ高pH環境で耐HIC特性の評価を実施することが好ましい。この認識に基づいて検討した結果、NACE条件のような過酷な条件で優れた耐HIC特性を発揮させるには、高温加熱および高温仕上げは必須であるが、実腐食環境に近い条件では、Caによる介在物処理および偏析対策を適切に実施すれば、高温加熱および高温仕上げを実施することなく、優れた耐HIC性能を示す鋼板が製造できることが明らかになった。
(1)HIC発生起点となるNb,Ti炭窒化物の添加量および偏析度を制限し、HIC発生起点サイトを抑制すると同時に、中心偏析の低減によりHIC破壊伝播を抑制することにより、耐HIC特性を向上させることができる。
上記知見に基づく本発明は次の通りである。
(2)前記化学組成が、質量%でV:0.10%以下をさらに含有する。 (3)上記(1)または(2)に記載された化学組成を有するスラブを下記式(i)の関係を満たす加熱温度T(℃)で加熱し、加熱されたスラブをAr3点-60℃以上、Ar3点以下(ここでAr3点(℃)は下記式(ii)により算出される)の範囲の温度で最終圧延を完了させる熱間圧延に供して鋼板とし、得られた鋼板を直ちに10℃/sec以上の冷却速度で400℃~600℃の冷却停止温度まで冷却することを特徴とする高強度鋼板の製造方法。
Ar3=910-310×[C]-80×[Mn]-20×[Cu]-15×[Cr]-55×[Ni]-80×[Mo]+0.35×(t-8) (ii)
上記式(i)および(ii)において、元素記号はその元素の含有量(単位:質量%)を意味し、上記式(ii)におけるtは最終圧延完了後の鋼板の厚さ(単位:mm)を意味する。
1.化学組成
C:0.02%以上0.07%以下
一般にCは鋼の強度に大きな影響を及ぼす元素として知られ、C含有量が0.02%未満ではラインパイプなどの用途に対して必要な強度を得ることが困難となる。C含有量が0.07%超では、連続鋳造時には鋳片の厚み中心部にマクロ偏析部が形成されやすくなり、これはHICの発生原因となる。そのため、Cの含有量の範囲を0.02%以上0.07%以下とする。
Siは一般に鋼の製造プロセスでは脱酸元素として鋼中の酸素濃度を低減するために有効な元素の一つであり、鋼を強化する効果もある。Siはまた、強度を高める元素としても有用である。Si含有量が0.05%未満では、上記の効果を得ることが困難である。一方、その含有量が0.50%を超えると、島状マルテンサイトが生成するようになり、HAZ靱性を悪化させる。このため、Si含有量を0.05%以上0.50%以下とする。
Mnは一般に鋼材の強度に大きな影響を与える元素である。Mn含有量が1.10%未満では十分な強度を得ることが困難である。一方、Mn含有量が1.60%を超えると、Mnが中心偏析部で濃化し、耐HIC性能を劣化させる。このためMn含有量の範囲を1.10%以上1.60%以下とする。中心偏析部での耐HIC性能の確保を確実にする観点からは、Mn含有量を1.50%未満とすることが好ましい。
Pは鋼中に不可避的に含有する不純物元素の一つであり、できるだけ低い方が好ましい。Pは凝固時の固液界面における分配係数が小さいため、著しく偏析し、中心偏析部で濃化して、耐HIC性能を劣化させる傾向がある。そのため、P含有量の上限を0.015%とする。中心偏析部での耐HIC性能の確保を確実にする観点から、P含有量は0.008%未満とすることが好ましい。
Sも鋼中に不可避的に含有する不純物元素の一つであり、できるだけ低い方が好ましい。Sも凝固時の固液界面における分配係数が小さいため、著しく偏析するばかりか、偏析部でMnSを生成してHICの発生起点となる。このため、S含有量は0.0030%以下とする。高強度鋼など、より要求レベルの厳しい条件で安定して高い耐HIC性能を確保する観点から、S含有量を0.001%以下とすることが好ましい。
Nbは鋼中で炭窒化物を形成し鋼の強度を高めるとともに、靱性の向上にも有効な元素である。特にTMCPにおいては、固溶および析出を制御することにより鋼板のミクロ組織制御するためにNbが添加される。これらの効果を得るためには、Nbを0.005%以上含有させる。一方、本発明においては、加熱温度を低くして耐破壊靭性の確保するため、Nbの含有量を制限する。また、粗大なNb炭窒化物はHICの発生原因となる。したがって、Nb含有量を0.030%以下とする。好ましいNb含有量は0.010%以上0.025%以下である。
Tiは鋼の強度を向上させる効果を有する。また、鋼中のNをTiNとして固定することでNbNやAlNの析出量を減少させるため、連続鋳造の鋳片の曲げ・矯正時におけるNbNやAlNのγ粒界への動的析出に起因した鋳片表面割れを防止する効果もある。これらの効果を得るため、Tiを0.005%以上添加する。しかし、Ti含有量の増加は溶接靭性の低下を招く。また、TiNはHICの発生原因となる粗大なNb炭窒化物が析出する際の析出核として機能する。さらに、Ti炭窒化物自体もHICの発生原因となる。したがって、Ti含有量は0.020%以下とする。好ましいTi含有量は0.010%以上0.020%以下である。
AlもSiと同様に脱酸元素として鋼中の酸素濃度を低減するために有効な元素の一つである。この脱酸の効果を得るためにAl含有量は0.005%以上とする。Al含有量が0.005%未満となると、脱酸が不十分であることに起因して脱硫も不十分になる。また、Ca添加の歩留まりが悪化しその効果も充分に得られなくなる。このため、鋼中の硫化物やSの偏析が生じやすくなり、耐HIC特性の低下をもたらす。その一方で、Alによる脱酸に伴い生成するアルミナがHICの原因となる場合もある。このため、Al含有量は0.060%以下とする。
CaはS濃度を低減させてMnSの生成を防止するとともに、硫化物の形態を制御することができる。このため、耐HIC鋼ではCaを添加することが多い。上記の効果を得るために0.0005%以上Caを含有させる。しかし、0.0060%以上添加してもその効果は飽和し、製造コストの増加を招く。そのため、Ca含有量は0.0005%以上0.0060%以下とする。
Nは転炉などの大気雰囲気で溶製する場合には鋼中に不可避的に侵入する元素であり、鋼材の機械特性に影響を与えるとともに、ミクロ組織形成に影響を与える。鋼材中ではNはAlやTiなどと窒化物を形成し、これらの窒化物は、熱間加工の過程でピン留め粒子として結晶粒を微細化する効果を有する。こうしたNの好ましい効果を得るために、N含有量は0.0015%以上とする。一方、NはHICの発生原因となる粗大Nb炭窒化物の構成元素である。また、前述のようにNbやAlの窒化物が過度に多く存在すると、連続鋳造時においてγ粒界に動的析出し、鋳片表面割れの原因となる。したがって、N含有量は0.0070%以下とする。好ましいN含有量は0.0015%以上0.0050%以下である。
耐HIC鋼では、MnSの発生を抑制するとともにC偏析を低減するために、CおよびMnの含有量の上限は比較的低く設定される。このため、鋼板の強度を確保する目的で、Cu,Ni,Cr,Mo等の合金元素を含有させることが多い。本発明においても、この目的でCu,Ni,CrおよびMoから選ばれる1種または2種以上を含有させ、これらの合計含有量を0.1%超とする。しかし、これらの元素を過度に含有させると、焼き入れ性の上昇を伴い、強度上昇とともに一部組織の硬化を引き起こし、それにより耐HIC性能を劣化させる。したがって、上記元素の合計含有量を1.5%未満とする。この合計含有量は好ましくは0.15%以上1.0%以下であり、上限は0.5%であることがより好ましい。
Cu:0.5%以下
Cuは鋼の焼き入れ性を向上させる。強度上昇の効果を見出すためには、0.1%以上含有させることが好ましい。しかし、Cu含有量が0.5%を超えると、鋼材の熱間加工性や被削性が低下する。また、連続鋳造時における表面割れ(カッパー割れ)を誘発する。したがって、Cuを0.2%以上含有させる場合には、Cu含有量の1/3以上の含有量でNiを併せて含有させることが好ましい。
Niには固溶強化によって鋼の強度を向上させるとともに、靱性を改善する効果を有する。これらの効果を得るためにNiを0.1%以上含有させることが好ましい。しかし、Niを1.0%超えて含有させてもその効果は飽和し、むしろ溶接性を悪化させるという悪影響が顕在化するおそれがある。
Cr:0.5%以下
C当量(Ceq=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo)/5+(Cu+Ni)/15)における係数が大きいことからも理解されるように、Crは少量の添加で強度上昇に大幅に寄与する。また、Crは鋼の靱性を高める効果も有する。このため、API X80グレードのような高強度の仕様を満たす必要がある場合には、Crを含有させることが多い。これらの効果を得るためにはCrを0.05%以上含有させることが好ましい。しかし、0.5%を超えてCrを含有させると溶接割れが発生する等の問題が起こりやすくなる。溶接性を重視する場合にはCr含有量は0.4%以下とすることが好ましい。
Moは鋼板の焼き入れ性を向上させ、強度上昇に寄与する。また、ミクロ偏析が生じにくい元素であるため、中心偏析に起因するHICの発生を抑制する効果を有する。こうしたMoの効果を得るためには、Moを0.03%以上含有させることが好ましい。しかし、Moは高価な元素であるため、含有量の増加はコスト増加をもたらす。また、Mo含有量を0.5%超とすると、ベイナイトやマルテンサイトなどの硬化相が生成しやすくなり、耐HIC特性をむしろ悪化させることが懸念される。このため、Mo含有量は0.5%以下とする。耐HIC特性の低下に及ぼす影響が他元素と比較して大きいため、Mo含有量は0.3%以下とすることが好ましい。Moは他元素と比較して高価であるため、Moを含有させる場合には、単独で含有させるよりも他元素とともに含有させることが好ましい。
V:0.01%以上0.10%以下
Vは鋼中でフェライト中に固溶したり炭窒化物を形成したりすることにより鋼の強度を高める。これらの効果を得るためにはVを0.01%以上含有させることが好ましい。しかし、V含有量が0.10%を超えると溶接熱影響部での析出状況が変化するため、靱性に悪影響を与えることが懸念される。したがって、Vを含有させる場合には、その含有量は0.10%以下とする。
本発明に係る鋼板の鋼組織は、鋼板を断面観察し、視野内における相または組織を同定することにより特定することができる。本発明に係る鋼板の鋼組織は、ベイナイト、フェライトおよびパーライトからなり、ベイナイトの面積率が10%以上である。鋼板の断面観察は肉厚中心で行う。
偏析度の測定機器としてレーザーICP装置(以下「L-ICP装置」と略記する)を用いる。L-ICP装置は発光分析装置の一種であり、10mm長さの測定において約100点の測定、つまり100μm毎の測定が可能である。このため、マクロ偏析を十分に評価することができる。
本発明に係る鋼板は、次の耐HIC特性および耐破壊特性を有する。
(1)耐HIC特性
一般的に、耐HIC特性の評価には、NACE Standard TM-02-84に規定される0.5%酢酸+5%NaClの1バールH2S飽和溶液(pH:約3、25℃以下、「NACE溶液」と呼ばれる)が使用される。しかし、このNACE溶液を用いた試験条件(「NACE条件」と呼ばれる)は、実腐食環境とは大きく異なる。実腐食環境は、NACE条件よりずっと穏やかであり、具体的にはpHがより高く、H2Sを溶液に含有させるために飽和するまで溶液に供給される気体に含まれるH2Sの分圧(本発明において、「飽和H2S分圧」ともいう)がより低い。腐食環境が異なる場合には腐食現象そのものが相違することもあるため、実腐食環境に近い試験条件で評価を行うことが望ましい。
0.003×105 Pa<PH2S<0.01×105 Pa、かつ3.5≦pH≦6.0 ... (A)、
0.01×105 Pa≦PH2S<1×105 Pa、3.5≦pH≦6.0、かつ
pH≧log[PH2S/105Pa]+5.5 ... (B)、
1×105 Pa<PH2S≦10×105 Pa、かつ5.5≦pH≦6.0 ... (C)。
本発明に係る鋼板は、板厚が6mm以上40mm以下の鋼板についてDWTT試験を-30℃で行ったときの延性破面率(DWTT-SA@-30)が85%以上である。この板厚の範囲内で上記の特性を有することにより、優れた耐破壊特性を備え、厚肉のラインパイプを寒冷地域向けに提供することが実現される。この延性破面率は、好ましくは90%以上、より好ましくは95%以上、最も好ましくは100%である。
本発明に係る好ましい製造方法について説明する。
製鋼過程においては、C、PおよびSの含有量を十分に低下させるとともに、酸化物の含有量やその形態を適切に制御するために、IR(Injection Refining)およびCa添加による介在物処理を行うことが好ましい。
連続鋳造により得られたスラブを、下記式(i)の関係を満たす加熱温度T(単位:℃)で加熱する。
ここで、上記式(i)における各元素記号は質量%でのその元素の含有量を意味する。
この範囲の温度Tでスラブを加熱することにより、耐HIC特性を低下させるNb系炭窒化物を固溶することと、耐破壊特性を低下させるオーステナイトの粒径の粗大化を抑制することとが両立される。スラブの加熱温度がこの温度域より低いと、Nb系炭窒化物の残留が顕著となるため、耐HIC特性の低下が懸念される。一方、この温度域を超えた温度でスラブを加熱すると、オーステナイトの粒径の粗大化が顕著となるため、耐破壊特性の低下が懸念される。
上記の加熱により得られたスラブについて、スケール除去機により表面についたスケールを除去した後、熱間圧延を開始する。本発明では、Ar3点-60℃以上、Ar3点以下の温度範囲で最終圧延を完了させる熱間圧延を行う。Ar3点(℃)は次の式(ii)により定義される。
上記式(ii)において、各元素記号は質量%でのその含有量を意味し、tは最終圧延完了後の鋼板の厚み(単位:mm)を意味する。
(3)最終圧延後の冷却
上記の最終圧延が完了したら、得られた鋼板を直ちに10℃/sec以上の冷却速度で冷却する。このように急速冷却することで、CやPなどの合金元素の拡散が抑制される。それゆえ、偏析の生成が抑制され、耐HIC特性の劣化が抑制される。
冷却停止温度は400℃以上600℃以下の範囲とする。冷却停止温度が過度に低いとマルテンサイトなどの硬化相の形成が懸念され、過度に高いと合金元素の拡散に基づく偏析の促進が懸念される。
こうして得られた本発明に係る鋼板から任意の適当な製管法により鋼管に成形された鋼管は、高強度で、耐破壊特性および耐水素誘起割れ特性に優れているので、ラインパイプとして使用することができる。
表1に示す化学組成を有する溶鋼を、厚さ300mm、幅1300~2300mmの垂直曲げ型スラブ連続鋳造機を用いて0.6~1.0m/minの鋳造速度で連続鋳造してスラブを得た。表1における「-」との表示は、当該元素の積極的な添加は行わず、それゆえ不純物レベルの含有量であることを意味する。
耐HIC特性の評価では、pHが4.0で、H2S分圧が0.01×105Pa(残部:窒素)の気体で飽和させた、5%のNaClを含有する酢酸水溶液(25℃)に96時間浸漬させたのち、割れ面積率(CAR、cracking area ratio)を測定した。CARが5%以下の場合を良好と判断した。
引張強度は520MPa以上の場合を良好と判断した。
実施例8に示される比較材の鋼板については、スラブの加熱温度が高すぎるためオーステナイト粒径が肥大化し、耐破壊特性が劣化した。
実施例10および11に示される比較材の鋼板については、それぞれNbおよびTiの含有量が高すぎるため、結果的に偏析度が上昇し、HICが発生した。
