Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ferritic heat resistant steel. More specifically, it relates to ferritic heat resistant steel excellent in high-temperature long-term creep strength and creep-fatigue strength.
  • the heat resistant steel of the invention is suited for use as heat exchanger tubes, steel plates for pressure vessels, turbine members and the like which are used under high-temperature and high-pressure environments in boilers, nuclear power plant facilities, chemical industry facilities and so forth.
  • Heat resistant steels used in high-temperature and high-pressure environments in boilers, nuclear power plant facilities, chemical industry facilities and the like are generally required to have high-temperature creep strength, creep-fatigue strength, corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance.
  • High-Cr ferritic steels are superior in strength and corrosion resistance at temperatures of 500 to 650° C. in low alloy steels. Further, high-Cr ferritic steels are high in thermal conductivity and low in thermal expansion coefficient, hence superior in thermal fatigue resistance characteristics to austenitic stainless steels; they are further characterized by their being inexpensive. They also have many further advantageous features; for example, they hardly cause scale peeling and are resistant to stress corrosion cracking.
  • the ASME P91 steel was put into practical use as a high-strength ferritic heat resistant steel and since then has been used in supercritical pressure boilers operated at steam temperatures of 566° C. or higher. Further, in recent years, the ASME P92 steel has increased in creep strength and has been put into practical use in ultra supercritical pressure boilers operated at steam temperatures of about 600° C.
  • the ASME P92 steel is markedly higher in creep strength but is parallel thereto in creep-fatigue strength. In order to operate boilers at higher temperatures and higher pressures, it is essential to improve the creep-fatigue strength of the ASME P92 steel.
  • Patent Documents 1 and 2 disclose inventions relating to a heat resistant steel containing 8 to 14% of Cr. Further, Patent Document 3 discloses an invention concerning a heat resistant steel containing 8 to 13% of Cr. However, the inventions disclosed in these documents are not intended to improve the creep-fatigue strength of the heat resistant steels.
  • the steels of these inventions may contain Nd (neodymium) but are not intended to utilize the effective function of Nd inclusions.

  • FIG. 1 is a depiction showing typical examples of the strain wave form in creep-fatigue testing.
  • the one shown in FIG. 1 ( a ) is the PP type (fast-fast) strain wave form imposing strains at a high speed so that no creep strains may be placed either on the tensile side or on the compressive side.
  • the one shown in FIG. 1 ( b ) is the CP type (slow-fast) strain wave form. This is a wave form imposing strains at a low speed on the tensile side and at a high speed on the compressive side in order to introduce the tensile creep strains.
  • the life of the PP type strain wave form mentioned above is compared with the life of the CP type strain wave form, the life of the CP type strain wave form causing creep damages is shorter.
  • the lives of heat resistant steels used in boilers, nuclear power plants and chemical plants under high-temperature and high-pressure environments are estimated by carrying out a creep-fatigue test in the total strain range of 0.4 to 1.5%.
  • the 10 5 hour creep strengths at 600° C. of the ASME P91 and P92 steels mentioned above are about 98 MPa and 128 MPa, respectively; therefore the P92 steel is higher in strength.
  • creep-fatigue testing performed at 600° C. in the total strain range of 0.5% under the CP type strain wave form shown in FIG. 1 revealed that, in each case, there is no great difference in the life compared with the case of about 3000 cycles.
  • the results obtained indicate that, in spite of it's showing an improvement in creep strength as compared with the P91 steel, the P92 steel shows no improvement in creep-fatigue strength.
  • the P92 steel involve some cause for an incapability of improving the creep-fatigue strength thereof or, in other words, some cause for decreasing creep-fatigue strength. Therefore, the present inventors made intensive investigations in an attempt to improve the creep-fatigue strength of the P92 steel.
  • the P92 steel contains, in addition to the components contained in the conventional 9Cr ferritic heat resistant steels, large amounts of ferrite-forming elements (Mo, W, Nb, V, etc.). Therefore, there is the possibility that very slight amounts of ⁇ ferrite remain at the grain boundary interfaces.
  • ferrite-forming elements Mo, W, Nb, V, etc.
  • materials that added each of minute amounts of the Cu, Ni or Co (these being austenite-forming elements) to the P92 steel were prepared and their creep-fatigue strengths were compared.
  • the test temperature was 600° C. and the total strain range was 0.5%. As a result, the life was about 1600 to 2100 cycles, which slightly decreased compared with the P92 steel.
  • the P92 steel was treated at a normalization temperature of 1050° C. or 1200° C. to alter the prior austenite grain size to about 25 ⁇ m or 125 ⁇ m.
  • the steel was then thermally refined by tempering so that the tensile strength might amount to about 710 MPa, and then subjected to creep-fatigue testing.
  • the test temperature was 600° C. and the total strain range was 0.5%.
  • the life at the ordinary grain size of 25 ⁇ m was about 3000 cycles while the life of the steel in a coarse grain condition, namely at a grain size of 125 ⁇ m, was about 2300 cycles. From this, it was revealed that in the case of the coarse-grained steel, the creep-fatigue life thereof is shorter even if it is parallel in strength to the fine-grained steel.
  • Fine-grained steel has an increased grain boundary area. It is supposed that as the grain boundary area increases, the segregation of such impurity elements as P, S, As and Sn, in particular S, is suppressed. Therefore, the segregation of S at grain boundaries was examined.
  • Ferritic heat resistant steels generally contain about 0.001% of S as an impurity. On the industrial product level, it is difficult to reduce the level of S to a level lower than 0.001%. In laboratory production as well, contamination with S due to alloying elements is inevitable and it is difficult to eliminate the phenomenon of segregation by reducing S by melting in conventional methods of steel production.
  • Temper embrittlement is generally known as a phenomenon caused by segregation of S. Temper embrittlement results when martensite is tempered in a certain temperature range around 600° C. and a minute amount of Mo is known to be effective in reducing that phenomenon.
  • the creep-fatigue strength may possibly be increased by incorporating, in addition to Mn, an element capable of more firmly trapping S.
  • Nd inclusions immobilize S in addition to MnS.
  • the Nd inclusions mean “Nd oxide” and “composite inclusions comprising Nd oxide and Nd sulfide”.
  • the “composite inclusions comprising Nd oxide and Nd sulfide” fix S directly.
  • “Nd oxide” also fixes S indirectly as a result of the segregation of S around the “Nd oxide”.
  • a “composite inclusion comprising Nd oxide and Nd sulfide” observed in a Nd-containing steel is shown in FIG. 3 as an example of the Nd inclusion.
  • the steel containing Nd in combination with a minute amount of Cu, Ni or Co, showed a creep-fatigue life of about 4000 cycles and thus improved in creep-fatigue characteristics, as compared with the steel containing no Nd but, when compared with the steel containing only Nd, the creep-fatigue life was markedly inferior.
  • Nd inclusions is a term collectively referring to the above-mentioned “Nd oxide” and “composite inclusions comprising Nd oxide and Nd sulfide”.
  • the austenite-forming elements such as Cu, Ni and Co cause decreases in creep-fatigue strength. It is also possible to observe this tendency with steels further containing Nd in minute amounts. Such phenomenon is presumably caused by the promotion, by Cu, Ni and Co, of the phenomenon of S fixed as MnS being liberated during creep-fatigue testing.
  • the gist of the present invention which has been made based on the above-mentioned investigation results, consists in the following heat-resistant steel.
  • “%” used in relation to the content of each component means “% by mass”.
  • Ferritic heat-resistant steel which comprises C, 0.01 to 0.13%, Si: 0.15 to 0.50%, Mn: 0.2 to 0.5%, P: not higher than 0.02%, S; not higher than 0.005%, Cr: exceeding 8.0% but lower than 12.0%, Mo: 0.1 to 1.5%, W: 1.0 to 3.0%, V: 0.1 to 0.5%, Nb: 0.02 to 0.10%, sol.
  • N 0.005 to 0.070%
  • Nd 0.005 to 0.050%
  • B 0.002 to 0.015%
  • the balance Fe and impurities wherein the content of Ni is lower than 0.3%, the content of Co is lower than 0.3% and the content of Cu is lower than 0.1% among the impurities, said steel containing Nd inclusions at a Nd inclusion density of not lower than 10000/mm 3 .
  • Ferritic heat-resistant steel according to (1) above which is characterized in that it contains at least one of Ta: not higher than 0.04%, Hf: not higher than 0.04% and Ti: not higher than 0.04% in place of part of Fe.
  • Ferritic heat-resistant steel according to (1) or (2) above which is characterized in that it contains one or both of Ca: not higher than 0.005% and Mg: not higher than 0.005% in place of part of Fe.
  • Ferritic heat-resistant steel according to any of (1) to (4) above which is characterized in that the creep-fatigue life thereof, under the CP type strain wave form at 600° C., under the conditions of a strain rate of 0.01%/sec on the tensile side, a strain rate of 0.8%/sec on the compressive side and a total strain range of 0.5% is, not shorter than 5000 cycles.
  • FIG. 1 is a depiction of typical examples of the strain wave form in creep-fatigue testing.
  • FIG. 2 is an illustration showing a sulfide observed in the ASME P92 steel.
  • FIG. 3 is an illustration showing a “composite inclusion comprising Nd oxide and Nd sulfide” as observed in a Nd-containing steel.
  • C serves as an austenite-stabilizing element and stabilizes the structure of the steel. It also forms carbides MC or carbonitrides M(C, N) in order to contribute improvements in creep strength. M in the MC and M(C, N) indicates an alloying element. At levels lower than 0.01%, however, the above-mentioned effects of C will not be obtained to a satisfactory extent; in some cases, it may cause an increase in the amount of ⁇ ferrite, leading to a decrease in strength. On the other hand, at C content levels exceeding 0.13%, the workability and/or weldability will deteriorate and, in addition, coarsening of carbides will occur from the early stage of use, causing decreases in long-term creep strength. Therefore, it is necessary to restrict the C content to 0.13% or lower. A more desirable lower limit and a more desirable upper limit are 0.08% and 0.11%, respectively.
  • Si is contained as a steel-deoxidizing element and is also an element necessary for increasing the steam oxidation resistance performance.
  • the lower limit is set at 0.15% at which the steam oxidation resistance performance will not be impaired.
  • the upper limit is set at 0.50%.
  • the lower limit to the Si content be set at 0.25%.
  • Mn contributes as a deoxidizing element and an austenite-stabilizing element. Further, it forms MnS and thus immobilizes S. For obtaining such effects, the content thereof is required to be not lower than 0.2%. On the other hand, at levels exceeding 0.5%, decreases in creep strength may be caused. Therefore, the appropriate content of Mn is 0.2 to 0.5%. Amore preferred lower limit is 0.3%.
  • P and S which are impurities, deteriorate the hot workability, weldability, creep strength and creep-fatigue strength of the steel, and, therefore, their contents are desirably as low as possible. Since, however, excessive purification of the steel results in marked increases in cost of production, the allowable upper limit is set at 0.02% for P and 0.005% for S.
  • Cr is an element essential for securing the high-temperature corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance of the steel of the invention, in particular the steam oxidation resistance characteristics. Further, Cr forms carbides and improves the creep strength. In order to obtain such effects, it is necessary that the content thereof be above 8.0%. Excessively high contents thereof, however, cause decreases in long-term creep strength and, therefore, the upper limit is set at 12.0%. A more preferred lower limit is 8.5%, and a more preferred upper limit is lower than 10.0%.
  • Mo serves as an element for solid solution hardening and contributes to improvements in creep strength. Further, as a result of a detailed investigation concerning the correlation between the Mo content and creep-fatigue strength, it was revealed that 0.1% or higher levels of Mo contribute to improvements in creep-fatigue characteristics and levels thereof exceeding 1.5% cause decreases in long-term creep strength. Therefore, a proper content of Mo is 0.1 to 1.5%. A more preferred lower limit and a more preferred upper limit are 0.3% and 0.5%, respectively.
  • W serves as an element for solid solution hardening and contributes to improvements in creep strength. Further, it is partly dissolved in Cr carbides and prevents coarsening of the carbides and thus contributes to improvements in creep strength. However, at levels lower than 1.0%, such effects are not significant. On the other hand, at W levels exceeding 3.0%, the formation of ⁇ ferrite is promoted, causing decreases in creep strength. Therefore, a proper range of the W content is 1.0 to 3.0%. A more preferred lower limit is at a level exceeding 1.5%, and a more preferred upper limit is 2.0%.
  • V contributes to improvements in creep strength owing to its solid solution hardening effect and also owing to its formation of fine carbonitrides. For obtaining this effect, it is necessary that the content thereof be not lower than 0.1%. On the other hand, at V content levels exceeding 0.5%, it promotes the formation of ⁇ ferrite and thus causes decreases in creep strength. Therefore, the upper limit should be set at 0.5%. A more preferred lower limit and a more preferred upper limit are 0.15% and 0.25%, respectively.
  • Nb forms fine carbonitrides and contribute to improvements in long-term creep strength.
  • a content of not lower than 0.02% is necessary.
  • a proper content of Nb is 0.02 to 0.10%.
  • a more preferred lower limit and a more preferred upper limit are 0.04% and 0.08%, respectively.
  • Al is used as a deoxidizing agent for molten steel. At levels exceeding 0.015%, however, it causes decreases in creep strength and, therefore, the upper limit should be set at 0.015% or lower. Amore preferred upper limit is 0.010%.
  • N is effective as an austenite-stabilizing element, like C. N also precipitates out nitrides or carbonitrides and thus improves the high-temperature strength of the steel. For obtaining such effect, a content of not lower than 0.005% is necessary. On the other hand, at excessive N content levels, it may cause the formation of blow holes in the step of melting or cause weld defects and, in addition, may cause decreases in creep strength due to coarsening of nitrides and carbonitrides. Therefore, the upper limit to the N content should be set at 0.070%. A more preferred lower limit to the N content is 0.020%.
  • Nd markedly improves the creep-fatigue strength, as mentioned hereinabove. For obtaining that effect, a content of not lower than 0.005% is necessary. At levels exceeding 0.050%, however, it forms coarse nitrides, causing decreases in creep strength. Therefore, the upper limit should be set at 0.050%. A more preferred upper limit is 0.040%.
  • One or more of these components can be added according to need. When they are added, the respective proper addition levels are as descried below.
  • Ta Not Higher than 0.04%
  • Hf not Higher than 0.04%
  • Ti not Higher than 0.04%
  • Ta, Hf and Ti are incorporated in the steel to form fine carbonitrides and thereby contribute to improvements in creep strength.
  • the content of each of them is desirably not lower than 0.005%.
  • an upper limit to the content of each of them be set at 0.04%.
  • Second Group Components Ca and Mg
  • One or both of these components can be also added according to need. When they are added, the respective proper addition levels are as descried below.
  • Both of these elements improve the hot workability of the steel. Therefore, when the hot workability of the steel is to be particularly improved, either or both of them could be added. Their effect becomes significant at levels of 0.0005% or higher and, therefore, a lower limit is desirably set at 0.0005% for each of them. However, if content levels exceed 0.005%, the creep strength decreases, so that the upper limit should be set at 0.005%.
  • rare earth elements as La and Ce may sometimes be mixed in as impurities.
  • the total content of rare earth elements except for Nd is not higher than 0.04%, such characteristics as creep strength and creep ductility are not greatly influenced; hence, the content thereof up to 0.04% is allowable.
  • the steel of the invention should contain Nd inclusions at a density of not lower than 10000 inclusions/mm 3 .
  • Nd inclusions observed in the steel of the invention are “Nd oxide” and “composite inclusions comprising Nd oxide and Nd sulfide”, as mentioned hereinabove. More specifically, they include Nd 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 2 S 4 , Nd 2 O 2 SO 4 , Nd 2 O 2 S and so forth.
  • the diameters of the Nd inclusions vary from about 0.3 ⁇ m to about 1 ⁇ m, and Nd inclusions are generally observed in steels containing a minute amount of Nd. However, in the case of steels containing Co, Ni and Cu abundantly, the amount of MnS is large and the content of Nd inclusions is markedly low. When the density of the Nd inclusions is lower than 10000 inclusions/mm 3 , no improvements in creep-fatigue strength are observed. Therefore, the density of Nd inclusions must be not lower than 10000 inclusions/mm 3 .
  • the steel of the invention can be produced in a plant commonly used for industrial production.
  • a steel having a chemical composition with specifications in accordance with the invention may be obtained by refining it in a furnace, such as an electric furnace or converter and adjusting the composition by means of deoxidation and adding alloying elements.
  • the molten steel may be subjected to an appropriate treatment, such as vacuum treatment, prior to the addition of the alloying elements.
  • the method of introducing Nd inclusions into the steel at a density of not lower than 1000/mm 3 is as follows. Sufficient deoxidation should be carried out beforehand using C, Si, Mn, Al and/or the like in the stage from the manufacture of pig iron to the manufacture of steel. Therefore, the high oxygen contents in the molten steel result in requiring more addition of Nd. Then, in the case of ingot casting, the composition, exclusive of Nd, is adjusted before casting ingots and, just prior to casting, Nd is added for the formation of the Nd inclusions. In the case of continuous casting, the composition, exclusive of Nd, is adjusted before the introduction of the molten steel into the tundish and then Nd is added to the tundish for the formation of Nd inclusions. By finally adjusting the Nd content only, it becomes possible to cause the formation of an appropriate amount of Nd inclusions. The thus cast slabs, billets or steel ingots are further processed into steel tubes/pipes, steel plates/sheets and so forth.
  • billets may be extruded into the pipes, or subjected to piercing, using an inclined roll type piercer, to give the pipes, or subject the pipes to the Erhardt Push Bench Pipe Manufacturing process in order to manufacture large diameter forged pipes, for instance.
  • the pipes or tubes produced are subjected to appropriate heat treatment, if necessary followed by shot peening, acid cleaning and/or like surface treatment.
  • the steel plates or sheets include hot-rolled and cold-rolled plates or sheets.
  • Hot-rolled steel plates or sheets can be obtained by subjecting slabs to hot rolling, and cold-rolled steel plates or sheets can be obtained by subjecting the hot-rolled steel plates/sheets to cold rolling.
  • Steel species having the respective chemical compositions specified in Table 1 were produced by melting, using a vacuum induction melting furnace, and 50 kg ingots with a diameter of 144 mm, were prepared from each steel species.
  • the steels given the symbols A to M are the steels according to the present invention, and those given the symbols 1 to 22 are steels for comparison.
  • the steels given the symbols A to M and the symbols 15 to 20 were sufficiently deoxidized with C, Si, Mn and Al and, then, Nd was added just prior to casting. In the steel having the symbol 21, Nd was added at the start of melting and, in the case of the steel having the symbol 22, deoxidation was carried out using only carbon and then Nd was added.
  • test specimens were taken from each of these plates so that the lengthwise direction of the test specimens might be identical to the direction of rolling.
  • the test specimens were subjected to creep rupture testing, creep-fatigue testing and a Nd inclusion distribution examination under the conditions specified below.
  • Test specimens diameter 6.0 mm, gage length: 30 mm, test temperature: 600° C., applied stress: 160 MPa,

  • Test specimens were cut out from each material as hot-worked and, after polishing and etching, extracted replicas were prepared by vapor deposition of carbon and observed under an electron microscope at a magnification of 2000 and, at the same time, the inclusions were identified by on EDX analysis (energy dispersive X-ray analysis), and the number of Nd inclusions (inclusions/mm 2 ) were determined and the precipitate density (inclusions/mm 3 ) was calculated by raising the determined value to a three-second power. Observations were made for 10 fields and the mean of the 10 values was recorded as a precipitate density.
