Description
本発明はCr基を含有する二相合金に関する。 The present invention relates to a two-phase alloy containing a Cr group.
石油・天然ガス井用の機器材料はしばしば塩化物イオンを含んだ、また腐食性ガスの二酸化炭素(CO2)、硫化水素(H2S)を含む酸性化した非常に厳しい腐食環境に曝される。このような過酷な腐食環境に曝される材料は、例えば、廃棄物プラント、化学プラント、原子力プラント及び原子力再処理施設等の構成機器の材料においても見出せる。これらの機器材料に要求される特性としては、一般に良好な耐食性及び強度がある。また製品の摺動部材料においては、耐摩耗性も追加的に要求される。 Equipment materials for oil and natural gas wells are often exposed to acidified and extremely harsh corrosive environments containing chloride ions and also containing the corrosive gases carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) and hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S). The Materials exposed to such harsh corrosive environments can also be found in materials for components such as waste plants, chemical plants, nuclear power plants and nuclear reprocessing facilities. The properties required for these equipment materials generally have good corrosion resistance and strength. Further, wear resistance is additionally required in the sliding part material of the product.
このような性能を持つ機器材料としては、従来、腐食環境の厳しさに応じて低合金鋼、ステンレス鋼、Ni基合金等が使用された。材料選択において、より高い耐食性に加えてさらに良好な強度特性(高耐力、靭性確保)とコスト優位性が要求される時、ステンレス鋼がより優位となる。Ni基合金は高価なNiを主体とすることで、コスト優位性が劣る。耐摩耗性が求められる場合は、耐食性母相に硬質相が析出した合金、例えば、肉盛材として広くCo基合金のステライト等が使用されている。 Conventionally, low alloy steels, stainless steels, Ni-based alloys, etc. have been used as equipment materials with such performance depending on the severity of the corrosive environment. In material selection, stainless steel is more dominant when higher strength properties (high yield strength, toughness ensured) and cost advantages are required in addition to higher corrosion resistance. The Ni-based alloy is mainly composed of expensive Ni, so that the cost advantage is inferior. When wear resistance is required, alloys in which a hard phase is precipitated in a corrosion-resistant matrix, such as Co-base alloy stellite, are widely used as cladding materials.
ステンレス鋼では、耐食性及び強度特性のバランスで二相ステンレス鋼が優位となる。一般に二相ステンレス鋼はCr、Ni、Mo、Nを含有して耐食性を確保しているが、さらにその耐食性の改善ためにCuを含有させた二相ステンレス鋼(例えば特許文献1、2参照)が開示されている。しかし、より厳しい腐食環境下で、構造材料のさらなる長寿命化、信頼性の確保の面からその適用を考えた場合、二相ステンレス鋼の持つ耐食性、強度の更なる向上、改善が必要である。また、腐食環境下で使用される摺動部材として二相ステンレス鋼は、その耐摩耗性は十分期待できない。 In stainless steel, duplex stainless steel is superior in balance of corrosion resistance and strength characteristics. In general, duplex stainless steels contain Cr, Ni, Mo, and N to ensure corrosion resistance. However, duplex stainless steels containing Cu to further improve the corrosion resistance (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). Is disclosed. However, when considering the application in terms of further extending the life of structural materials and ensuring reliability in more severe corrosive environments, it is necessary to further improve and improve the corrosion resistance and strength of duplex stainless steels. . Further, duplex stainless steel as a sliding member used in a corrosive environment cannot be expected to have sufficient wear resistance.
一方で耐食性、耐熱性を高めるために、60質量%を超えるCrを含み、結晶構造が体心立方構造のフェライト単相であるCr基合金が開示されている(特許文献3、4及び5参照)が、これらのCr基合金は,耐食性及び耐摩耗性は期待できるが、強度的には延性がなく、非常に脆性的である。 On the other hand, in order to improve corrosion resistance and heat resistance, a Cr-based alloy containing Cr exceeding 60% by mass and having a body-centered cubic structure and a ferrite single phase is disclosed (see Patent Documents 3, 4 and 5). However, these Cr-based alloys can be expected to have corrosion resistance and wear resistance, but are not ductile in strength and very brittle.
従来のFe基の二相ステンレス鋼(例えば、特許文献1~2参照)及びフェライト単相のCr基合金(例えば、特許文献3~5参照)においては、厳しい腐食環境下に対応してそれら材料の耐食性、強度、さらに耐摩耗性を改善するニーズ、課題がある。また、これらの特性を満たし、価格的にもNi基合金よりも安価なCrを主たる成分とする合金は見当たらない。 Conventional Fe-based duplex stainless steels (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2) and ferrite single-phase Cr-based alloys (see, for example, Patent Documents 3 to 5) are suitable for use in severe corrosive environments. There are needs and challenges to improve the corrosion resistance, strength, and wear resistance of the steel. Moreover, there is no alloy that has Cr as the main component that satisfies these characteristics and is cheaper than Ni-based alloys.
そこで本発明は、安価なCrを主たる成分とし、その高Cr化による高耐食化をさらに効果的に向上させるCu等の元素を添加することで、厳しい腐食環境下においても二相ステンレス鋼やCr基単相合金の従来材料よりも耐食性、耐力、靭性等の強度特性及び耐摩耗性に優れたフェライト相とオーステナイト相の二相合金を提供することを課題とする。 Therefore, the present invention is mainly composed of inexpensive Cr, and by adding an element such as Cu that effectively improves the high corrosion resistance due to the high Cr content, duplex stainless steel and Cr are also used in severe corrosive environments. It is an object of the present invention to provide a two-phase alloy of a ferrite phase and an austenite phase, which is superior in strength properties such as corrosion resistance, proof strength, toughness, and wear resistance as compared with conventional materials of a base single phase alloy.

That is, the ingot produced in the melting-casting process is used as a master ingot, 1) a hot forging process of the master ingot, a heat treatment process including solution treatment, 2) a remelting of the master ingot, a casting process, and 3) Re-dissolving the master ingot-In the gas atomization process, a ferrite and austenite alloy containing Cu is produced and its corrosion resistance, mechanical properties and wear resistance are evaluated, and the present invention is achieved. did.

次に、本発明の実施形態の二相合金について詳細に説明する。 Next, the two-phase alloy according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.
<二相合金>
本発明の実施形態の二相合金は、Crを主たる成分とするCr-Ni-Feの組成に耐食性をより高めるCu等の元素を含有した二相合金である。この二相合金は、主たる相組織としてフェライト相とオーステナイト相との二相で形成され、Ni、Fe、Mn、Si、Al,Cu,Mo等を所定量含有し、残部がCr及び不可避の不純物からなる。また強度、耐食性に影響を及ぼすC、N、Oを制御するためにV、Nb、Ta及びTiのうちの少なくとも一種が添加される。以下、この二相合金の各構成について説明する。
<Dual phase alloy>
The two-phase alloy according to the embodiment of the present invention is a two-phase alloy containing an element such as Cu that further enhances corrosion resistance in the composition of Cr—Ni—Fe containing Cr as a main component. This two-phase alloy is formed of two phases of a ferrite phase and an austenite phase as a main phase structure, contains a predetermined amount of Ni, Fe, Mn, Si, Al, Cu, Mo, etc., with the balance being Cr and inevitable impurities Consists of. Further, at least one of V, Nb, Ta, and Ti is added to control C, N, and O that affect strength and corrosion resistance. Hereinafter, each structure of this two-phase alloy will be described.
<材料組織>
本実施形態の二相合金における材料組織は、フェライト相及びオーステナイト相の二相組織である。該二相組織は、後記する異なる製造方法、すなわちマスターインゴットの熱加工、鋳造あるいはガスアトマイズの工程を経て、形成される。ところで、熱間加工物の材料組織と鋳造物あるいはガスアトマイズ粉末を用いた肉盛材の材料組織は相違する。前者では、基本的に成分偏析の十分な解消と組織の微細化が促進されるが、後者は成分偏析を許容する凝固組織を基本とする。
<Material structure>
The material structure in the two-phase alloy of this embodiment is a two-phase structure of a ferrite phase and an austenite phase. The two-phase structure is formed through different manufacturing methods described later, that is, through a process of thermal processing, casting or gas atomization of a master ingot. By the way, the material structure of the hot-worked product is different from the material structure of the build-up material using a cast or gas atomized powder. The former basically promotes sufficient elimination of component segregation and refinement of the structure, while the latter is based on a solidified structure that allows component segregation.
一般に結晶構造的に体心立方構造のフェライト単相のCr基合金は、より高強度であり、また耐摩耗性に優位であるが、靭性に劣る。特にC,N及びOの含有量が増加すると塑性変形能が敏感に低下する特徴を有する。面心立方構造のオーステナイト単相のNi基合金は延性があり、靭性に優れているが、高コストとなる。 Generally, a ferrite single-phase Cr-based alloy having a body-centered cubic structure in terms of crystal structure has higher strength and superior wear resistance, but is inferior in toughness. In particular, when the content of C, N and O is increased, the plastic deformability is sensitively lowered. An austenite single-phase Ni-based alloy having a face-centered cubic structure is ductile and excellent in toughness, but is expensive.
これに対して本実施形態の二相合金は、Crを主たる成分とするとともにフェライト相及びオーステナイト相からなり、高Cr濃度及びCuの添加に起因する高耐食性を有し、靭性を含む強度と耐摩耗性に優れ、なお経済性にも優れる。 On the other hand, the two-phase alloy of the present embodiment comprises Cr as a main component and is composed of a ferrite phase and an austenite phase, has high corrosion resistance due to high Cr concentration and addition of Cu, and strength and resistance including toughness. Excellent wear and economical efficiency.
本実施形態の二相合金におけるフェライト相の占有率(以下、単に「フェライト率」と称する)は10%以上、95%以下、それに対応してオーステナイト相の占有率は、5%以上、90%以下の範囲でそれぞれ設定することができる。オーステナイト相を保有するためにフェライト率を95%以下にするのは、靭性の確保のためである。フェライト率がより高い組織は、組成としてCr濃度がより高く、また例えば肉盛溶接の場合のように急冷凝固した組織において観察される。 The ferrite phase occupancy (hereinafter simply referred to as “ferrite ratio”) in the two-phase alloy of this embodiment is 10% or more and 95% or less, and the corresponding austenite phase occupancy is 5% or more and 90%. Each can be set within the following ranges. The reason why the ferrite ratio is 95% or less in order to retain the austenite phase is to ensure toughness. A structure having a higher ferrite ratio has a higher Cr concentration as a composition, and is observed in a rapidly solidified structure as in, for example, overlay welding.
この設定された相分率の範囲を実現できるように、本実施形態の二相合金の化学組成範囲が決められる。この化学組成範囲は、特に主成分であるCr及びNiの含有量の間で調整される。ここで、熱加工工程で製造される該二相合金において、溶体化温度が1100℃以上でフェライト率が95%を超える場合は、800~1000℃の範囲で相比調整の熱処理を実施して、フェライト率95%以下を維持することができる。 The chemical composition range of the two-phase alloy of this embodiment is determined so as to realize the set phase fraction range. This chemical composition range is adjusted in particular between the contents of Cr and Ni, which are the main components. Here, when the solution temperature is 1100 ° C. or higher and the ferrite ratio exceeds 95% in the two-phase alloy manufactured in the heat processing step, a heat treatment for adjusting the phase ratio is performed in the range of 800 to 1000 ° C. Further, it is possible to maintain a ferrite ratio of 95% or less.
他方、鋳造あるいはガスアトマイズの工程で製造される該二相合金の組織は、1100℃以上のより高温で形成された組織の影響を受けた凝固組織となるために、高Cr含有量の二相合金では、フェライト率がより増加する。それゆえ、上記既定のフェライト率を95%以下に維持するために、下記<化学組成>に示すように、概してCr含有率を減じ、Ni含有量を増加させることが必要である。ただ、熱処理が可能な鋳造物では800~1000℃の範囲でフェライト及びオーステナイト相間の比率を調整を調整すること(相比調整)で、確実にフェライト率95%以下を確保することができる。 On the other hand, since the structure of the two-phase alloy produced by the casting or gas atomizing process becomes a solidified structure affected by the structure formed at a higher temperature of 1100 ° C. or higher, a two-phase alloy having a high Cr content Then, the ferrite rate increases more. Therefore, in order to maintain the predetermined ferrite ratio at 95% or less, it is necessary to generally decrease the Cr content and increase the Ni content as shown in <Chemical composition> below. However, in a cast that can be heat-treated, by adjusting the ratio between the ferrite and austenite phases in the range of 800 to 1000 ° C. (phase ratio adjustment), it is possible to ensure a ferrite ratio of 95% or less.
なお、本実施形態での「フェライト率」は、EBSP(Electron BackScattering Pattern)解析から得られたフェライト占有量[%]である。 In addition, the “ferrite ratio” in the present embodiment is the ferrite occupation amount [%] obtained from EBSP (Electron BackScattering Pattern) analysis.
ちなみに、本実施形態の二相合金におけるフェライト率は、耐食性と良好な靭性を含む強度特性の両立を確保する点から、20%以上、70%以下がより望ましい。 Incidentally, the ferrite ratio in the two-phase alloy of the present embodiment is more preferably 20% or more and 70% or less from the viewpoint of ensuring both corrosion resistance and strength characteristics including good toughness.
また、本実施形態での二相合金には、例えば二相ステンレス鋼において、フェライト相からの相変態によって析出するシグマ(σ)相等の硬質の異相を含まないものが望ましいが、機械的特性等の諸特性を著しく害さない程度で含む場合には許容される。 In addition, the duplex alloy in the present embodiment is preferably, for example, a duplex stainless steel that does not include a hard heterogeneous phase such as a sigma (σ) phase that precipitates due to a phase transformation from a ferrite phase. It is permissible if it contains the above characteristics to the extent that they do not significantly harm.
<化学組成>
次に、本実施形態の二相合金における化学組成の数値範囲の限定理由について説明する。なお各成分の含有量は質量%で示す。
Crは残部の成分であり、二相合金の構成成分の内最大の濃度を有するが、本実施形態のCr-Ni-Fe系の二相合金においては、組織的には高強度のCr基フェライト相形成元素であり、固溶元素としては耐食性を高める。
<Chemical composition>
Next, the reason for limiting the numerical range of the chemical composition in the two-phase alloy of this embodiment will be described. In addition, content of each component is shown by the mass%.
Cr is the remaining component and has the highest concentration among the components of the two-phase alloy. However, in the Cr—Ni—Fe-based two-phase alloy of this embodiment, the high strength Cr-based ferrite is structurally related. It is a phase forming element, and as a solid solution element, it enhances corrosion resistance.
Crの含有量は、後記する溶体化温度1050~1250℃におけるこれら主要3元系の熱平衡状態組織としてフェライト相及びオーステナイト相の二相組織を形成するように設定される。 The Cr content is set so as to form a two-phase structure of a ferrite phase and an austenite phase as a thermal equilibrium state structure of these main ternary systems at a solution temperature of 1050 to 1250 ° C., which will be described later.
Crの含有量は、Ni,Feの主要成分の量、Mn、Si、Al、Cu、Mo、P、S、C、N、O、V等の活性元素等のマイナー成分の量、及び不可避不純物量も考慮して、33%以上が望ましい。Crの含有量を33%以上に設定することで、高濃度Cr化して二相合金の耐食性をより高めることができる。 The content of Cr is the amount of main components of Ni, Fe, the amount of minor components such as active elements such as Mn, Si, Al, Cu, Mo, P, S, C, N, O, V, and inevitable impurities. Considering the amount, 33% or more is desirable. By setting the Cr content to 33% or more, it is possible to increase the concentration of Cr and further improve the corrosion resistance of the two-phase alloy.
また、Crの含有量は、熱間加工工程で製造される二相合金では65%以下が望ましい。Crの含有量を65%以下に設定することで、高耐力と高硬度を維持しながら二相合金により優れた靭性を付与することができる。他方、鋳造あるいはガスアトマイズの工程で製造される二相合金では、特に高Cr濃度組成において、高フェライト率の組織となるため、フェライト率95%以下を維持するためにCrの含有量は減少して、60%以下が好ましい。 In addition, the Cr content is desirably 65% or less in the case of a two-phase alloy manufactured by a hot working process. By setting the Cr content to 65% or less, excellent toughness can be imparted to the two-phase alloy while maintaining high yield strength and high hardness. On the other hand, in a two-phase alloy manufactured by a casting or gas atomizing process, a structure with a high ferrite ratio is formed particularly in a high Cr concentration composition. Therefore, the Cr content is decreased in order to maintain a ferrite ratio of 95% or less. 60% or less is preferable.
本実施例では、Cr基二相合金の化学組成は、主要成分と副成分と不純物と第一随意副成分と第二随意副成分とからなるものとした。主要成分はCrとNiとFeで構成し、副成分はMnとSiとAlとCuで構成し、不純物はPとSとCとNとOで構成し、第一随意副成分はMoで構成し、第二随意副成分はVとNbとTaとTiで構成する。 In this example, the chemical composition of the Cr-based two-phase alloy was composed of a main component, subcomponents, impurities, a first optional subcomponent, and a second optional subcomponent. The main component is composed of Cr, Ni and Fe, the subcomponent is composed of Mn, Si, Al and Cu, the impurity is composed of P, S, C, N and O, and the first optional subcomponent is composed of Mo. The second optional subcomponent is composed of V, Nb, Ta, and Ti.
Niは、オーステナイト相を安定化させるとともに溶体化処理でフェライト相との二相状態を維持する。また、Niは、二相合金に、耐食性に加え、延性と靱性の確保を付与する。 Ni stabilizes the austenite phase and maintains a two-phase state with the ferrite phase by solution treatment. Further, Ni imparts ductility and toughness as well as corrosion resistance to the two-phase alloy.
Niの含有量は、熱間加工工程で製造される二相合金では、18%以上に設定される。これにより後記する溶体化温度でのオーステナイト相の占有率は、10%以上となり、組織の靭性をより高めることに寄与する。他方、鋳造あるいはガスアトマイズの工程で製造される二相合金では、上記したように高フェライト率の組織となるため、フェライト率95%以下を維持するためにNiの含有量は増加して、23%以上が好ましい。また、Niの含有量は、40%以下に設定される。これにより、後記する溶体化温度でのフェライト率は、10%以上となる。 The content of Ni is set to 18% or more in the two-phase alloy manufactured in the hot working process. As a result, the occupation ratio of the austenite phase at the solution temperature described later becomes 10% or more, which contributes to further enhancing the toughness of the structure. On the other hand, in the two-phase alloy produced by the casting or gas atomizing process, since the structure has a high ferrite ratio as described above, the Ni content is increased to maintain a ferrite ratio of 95% or less, and 23% The above is preferable. Further, the Ni content is set to 40% or less. Thereby, the ferrite rate at the solution temperature described later is 10% or more.
Feの含有量は、10%以上に設定される。これによりFeより高価なNi,Crの含有量を減じ、また二相合金の溶融急冷過程で、強度特性に悪影響が懸念される金属間化合物の生成が抑制される。 The content of Fe is set to 10% or more. This reduces the content of Ni and Cr, which are more expensive than Fe, and suppresses the formation of intermetallic compounds that may have an adverse effect on strength properties during the melting and quenching process of the two-phase alloy.
また、Feの含有量は、33%以下に設定される。一般にCr-Ni-Feの三元系合金においては、Feの濃度が増加すると、800℃を中心とした温度域でσ相が生成するが、本実施形態の二相合金では、Feの含有量が33%以下に設定されることでσ相の生成を抑制する。 Also, the Fe content is set to 33% or less. Generally, in the ternary alloy of Cr—Ni—Fe, when the Fe concentration increases, a σ phase is generated in a temperature range centered on 800 ° C., but in the two-phase alloy of this embodiment, the Fe content Is set to 33% or less, the generation of the σ phase is suppressed.
Ni成分とFe成分との合計含有率は、37質量%以上65質量%以下が好ましい。合計含有率が37質量%未満になると、二相合金の延性・靱性が不十分になる。一方、合計含有率が65質量%超になると、機械的強度が大きく低下する。 The total content of the Ni component and the Fe component is preferably 37% by mass or more and 65% by mass or less. When the total content is less than 37% by mass, the ductility / toughness of the two-phase alloy becomes insufficient. On the other hand, when the total content exceeds 65% by mass, the mechanical strength is greatly reduced.
Mnの含有量は、0.1%以上に設定される。これにより二相合金の脱硫、脱酸が行われ、二相合金は、その強度及び靱性が向上する。好ましい下限値は0.3%である。 The Mn content is set to 0.1% or more. Thereby, desulfurization and deoxidation of the two-phase alloy are performed, and the strength and toughness of the two-phase alloy are improved. A preferred lower limit is 0.3%.
また、Mnの含有量は、2.0%以下に設定される。これにより粗大なMnSを形成することで起こる耐食性及び強度の劣化を抑制し、また二相合金の耐炭酸ガス腐食性能が良好に維持される。 Also, the Mn content is set to 2.0% or less. Thereby, deterioration of corrosion resistance and strength caused by forming coarse MnS is suppressed, and the carbon dioxide corrosion resistance of the two-phase alloy is maintained well.
Siの含有量は、0.1%以上に設定される。これにより二相合金の脱酸が行われ、二相合金は、その強度及び靭性が向上する。好ましい下限値は0.3%である。 The Si content is set to 0.1% or more. Thereby, deoxidation of the two-phase alloy is performed, and the strength and toughness of the two-phase alloy are improved. A preferred lower limit is 0.3%.
また、Siの含有量は、1.0%以下に設定される。これにより後記する熱間鍛造工程の効果が充分に発揮され、また二相合金の靱性が良好に維持される。 Also, the Si content is set to 1.0% or less. Thereby, the effect of the hot forging process described later is sufficiently exhibited, and the toughness of the two-phase alloy is maintained well.
Alの含有量は、0.005%以上に設定される。これによりMn,Siと合わせて脱酸作用が向上する。より好ましい下限値は0.008%である。
またAlの含有量は、0.05%以下に設定される。本発明のCr基二相合金においては酸素量の低減は熱間鍛造性及び本発明の合金の靭性確保の点で必須である。製造時できるだけ含有酸素量を低減させる一方で、多量のAlの含有で形成されるAl2O3及びAlNは合金の靭性を阻害するため、それらの生成量はできるだけ抑制されるべきで、好ましくは0.05%以下である。
The Al content is set to 0.005% or more. Thereby, the deoxidation action is improved together with Mn and Si. A more preferred lower limit is 0.008%.
The Al content is set to 0.05% or less. In the Cr-based two-phase alloy of the present invention, the reduction of the oxygen content is essential in terms of hot forgeability and ensuring the toughness of the alloy of the present invention. While reducing the oxygen content as much as possible during production, Al 2 O 3 and AlN formed by the inclusion of a large amount of Al inhibit the toughness of the alloy, so their production amount should be suppressed as much as possible, preferably 0.05% or less.
Cuの含有量は、Moと同様に本発明のCr基二相合金の耐食性を高める元素であり、必要に応じて同時に含有させ、協調的に効果を高めることができる。含有させる場合は、耐食性向上のためには0.1%以上に設定される。Cuの含有はオーステナイト相を安定化させるが、過剰の含有は熱間加工時に、特にフェライト相にてCu析出物を生成して加工性を低下させるために、5.0%以下が望ましく、好ましくは3.0%以下である。 Cu content, like Mo, is an element that improves the corrosion resistance of the Cr-based two-phase alloy of the present invention, and can be contained at the same time as necessary to enhance the effect cooperatively. When contained, it is set to 0.1% or more for improving corrosion resistance. The content of Cu stabilizes the austenite phase, but the excessive content is desirably 5.0% or less, preferably in order to reduce the workability by forming Cu precipitates in the ferrite phase especially during hot working. Is 3.0% or less.
Moの含有量は、Cr基二相合金の耐食性を高める元素であり、特に、不動態皮膜の安定化に効果的で、耐孔食性がより期待されることから、必要に応じて同時に含有させ、協調的に効果を高めることができる。含有させる場合は、耐食性向上のためには0.1%以上に設定される。一方でMoの含有はフェライト相を安定化させるが、さらに高濃度の含有は、シグマ相の生成及び熱加工時の金属間化合物の生成の可能性を含み、より加工性、耐食性を低下させるために、3%以下が望ましく、好ましくは2%以下である。 The content of Mo is an element that enhances the corrosion resistance of the Cr-based two-phase alloy, and is particularly effective for stabilizing the passive film, and is expected to have more pitting corrosion resistance. , Can enhance the effect cooperatively. When contained, it is set to 0.1% or more for improving corrosion resistance. On the other hand, the inclusion of Mo stabilizes the ferrite phase, but the inclusion of a higher concentration includes the possibility of the formation of a sigma phase and the formation of intermetallic compounds during thermal processing, which further reduces workability and corrosion resistance. In addition, 3% or less is desirable, and preferably 2% or less.
Pの含有量は、二相合金に0.04%以下に設定される。Pは、耐食性、溶接性及び加工性を劣化させる元素であり、製造上できる限り制限する必要がある。Pの含有量を0.04%以下に設定することで、結晶粒界にPが偏析することが防止され、二相合金の靱性及び粒界の耐食性が良好に維持される。
また、より高清浄な精錬及び製造プロセスを活用することで、P含有量はより低減できる。これによってPの下限値は、分析の検出限界以下であり、二相合金中に含有されない、すなわち、0%であっても良い。
The content of P is set to 0.04% or less in the two-phase alloy. P is an element that deteriorates corrosion resistance, weldability, and workability, and should be limited as much as possible in production. By setting the P content to 0.04% or less, the segregation of P at the grain boundaries is prevented, and the toughness of the two-phase alloy and the corrosion resistance of the grain boundaries are favorably maintained.
Moreover, P content can be reduced more by utilizing a more refined refinement | purification and manufacturing process. Accordingly, the lower limit value of P is not more than the detection limit of analysis and may not be contained in the two-phase alloy, that is, 0%.
Sの含有量は、0.01%以下に設定される。Sは、MnS等の硫化物を生成して耐食性及び加工性を劣化させる元素であり、製造上できる限り制限する必要がある。Sの含有量を0.01%以下に設定することで、硫化物量を低減して耐孔食性及び靱性が良好に維持される。 The S content is set to 0.01% or less. S is an element that generates sulfides such as MnS and degrades the corrosion resistance and workability, and should be limited as much as possible in production. By setting the S content to 0.01% or less, the amount of sulfide is reduced, and pitting corrosion resistance and toughness are favorably maintained.
また、より高清浄な精錬及び製造プロセスを活用することで、S含有量はより低減できる。これによってSの下限値は、分析の検出限界以下であり、二相合金中に含有されない、すなわち、0%であっても良い。 In addition, the S content can be further reduced by utilizing a more sophisticated refining and manufacturing process. Accordingly, the lower limit value of S is not more than the detection limit of analysis and may not be contained in the two-phase alloy, that is, 0%.
Cは、その濃度の増加においては低濃度でCの固溶硬化をもたらし、特にフェライト相の塑性変形を大きく阻害化する。高濃度では、特にCr炭化物を形成させ、かつその周辺で局所的にCr濃度減少を引き起こすことで耐食性を低下させる。また炭化物は、多くなれば、靭性を低下させる。加えて、V、Nb、Ta及びTiの活性元素の添加の場合、できるだけそれらの炭化物の形成量を押さえるためにも、C含有量は低減することが望ましく、0.03%以下が好適である。 C has a solid solution hardening at a low concentration as its concentration increases, and greatly inhibits plastic deformation of the ferrite phase. At a high concentration, especially, Cr carbide is formed, and corrosion resistance is lowered by causing a Cr concentration decrease locally in the vicinity thereof. Moreover, if the carbides increase, the toughness decreases. In addition, in the case of addition of active elements of V, Nb, Ta, and Ti, it is desirable to reduce the C content in order to suppress the formation amount of those carbides as much as possible, and 0.03% or less is preferable. .
また、より高清浄な精錬及び製造プロセスを活用することで、C含有量はより低減できる。これによってCの下限値は、分析の検出限界以下であり、二相合金中に含有されない、すなわち、0%であっても良い。 In addition, the C content can be further reduced by utilizing a more sophisticated refining and manufacturing process. Accordingly, the lower limit value of C is not more than the detection limit of analysis and may not be contained in the two-phase alloy, that is, 0%.

In the two-phase alloy of the present invention produced by the following hot working manufacturing process, the N content is preferably 0.02% or less in order to ensure workability. In addition, the content of N can be further reduced by utilizing a more sophisticated refining and manufacturing process. Accordingly, the lower limit value of N is equal to or lower than the detection limit of analysis and may not be contained in the two-phase alloy, that is, 0%.
他方、鋳造工程あるいはガスアトマイズ工程で製造される本発明の二相合金の鋳造物あるいは粉末においては、上記の製造雰囲気が例え不活性ガス雰囲気であっても、不可避なNの混入を考慮しなければならず、含有量は増加し、その上限は0.04%、また下限値は0.005%と設定される。 On the other hand, in the casting or powder of the two-phase alloy of the present invention manufactured by the casting process or the gas atomizing process, even if the above manufacturing atmosphere is an inert gas atmosphere, inevitable mixing of N must be considered. However, the content is increased, the upper limit is set to 0.04%, and the lower limit is set to 0.005%.
Oは、二相合金中の金属元素と酸化物を形成し易く、O含有量の増加に伴う酸化物の増加で靭性の低下が懸念される。下記の熱間加工の製造工程で作製される本発明の二相合金においては、加工性を確保するためにも、Oの含有量は0.03%以下とすることが望ましい。また、より高清浄な精錬及び製造プロセスを活用することで、Oの含有量はより低減できる。これによってOの下限値は、分析の検出限界以下であり、二相合金中に含有されない、すなわち、0%であっても良い。 O tends to form an oxide with a metal element in the two-phase alloy, and there is a concern that the toughness is lowered due to an increase in oxide accompanying an increase in the O content. In the two-phase alloy of the present invention produced by the following hot working manufacturing process, the O content is preferably 0.03% or less in order to ensure workability. Moreover, the content of O can be further reduced by utilizing a more sophisticated refining and manufacturing process. Accordingly, the lower limit value of O is equal to or lower than the detection limit of analysis and may not be contained in the two-phase alloy, that is, 0%.
他方、鋳造工程あるいはガスアトマイズ工程で製造される本発明の二相合金の鋳造物あるいは粉末においては、上記の製造雰囲気が例え不活性ガス雰囲気であっても、不可避なOの混入を十分考慮しなければならず、含有量は増加し、その上限は0.05%、また下限値は0.005%と設定される。 On the other hand, in the casting or powder of the two-phase alloy of the present invention produced by the casting process or the gas atomizing process, even if the above production atmosphere is an inert gas atmosphere, the inevitable mixing of O must be fully considered. The content is increased, the upper limit is set to 0.05%, and the lower limit is set to 0.005%.

This action of cleaning the base material is effective in improving toughness. However, in the case of excessive addition of V, V reacts with other component elements, and the intermetallic compound is easily formed, which raises the concern of a decrease in toughness.

A suitable amount of Nb added in production in which excess Nb exceeding immobilization is suppressed as much as possible is preferably in the range of 0.8 to 2 times the atomic% total of C, N and O in atomic%.

This action of cleaning the base material is effective in improving toughness. However, when Ta is excessively added, Ta reacts with other component elements to easily form an intermetallic compound, thereby causing a concern about a decrease in toughness.

<二相合金の製造方法>
次に、本実施形態の二相合金の製造方法について説明する。本発明の二相合金は、最終の材料形態として、一連の製造工程である溶解―インゴット形成―熱間鍛造―溶体化処理工程等で製造される熱間加工物、上記マスターインゴットの再溶解により鋳造物及びアトマイズプロセスによる粉末として提供される。
<Manufacturing method of two-phase alloy>
Next, the manufacturing method of the two-phase alloy of this embodiment is demonstrated. As a final material form, the two-phase alloy of the present invention is obtained by remelting a hot-worked product manufactured by a series of manufacturing processes such as melting-ingot formation-hot forging-solution treatment process, and the master ingot. Provided as a powder by casting and atomizing process.
<熱間加工>
図1は、本実施形態に係る二相合金の製造方法を説明するための工程図である。
<Hot processing>
FIG. 1 is a process diagram for explaining a method for producing a two-phase alloy according to the present embodiment.
図1に示すように、この製造方法では、材料としての前記のCr,Ni、Fe、Mn、Si、Al、Cu、Mo、並びに必要に応じてV、Nb、Ta、及びTiのうちの少なくとも一種以上の所定量が高周波真空溶解炉にて溶製され、合金化される(ステップF1)。なお、この工程で使用される溶解炉は、高周波真空溶解炉に限定されずに、本発明では他の溶解炉を使用することもできる。 As shown in FIG. 1, in this manufacturing method, at least one of the above-described Cr, Ni, Fe, Mn, Si, Al, Cu, Mo, and V, Nb, Ta, and Ti as necessary. One or more predetermined amounts are melted and alloyed in a high-frequency vacuum melting furnace (step F1). In addition, the melting furnace used at this process is not limited to a high frequency vacuum melting furnace, In this invention, another melting furnace can also be used.
次いで、所定の金型を使用した鋳造によりインゴットが形成される(ステップF2)。得られたインゴットは以下の二相合金の鋳造物及び粉末製造のマスターインゴットとしても使用できる。続いてこのインゴットには、熱間鍛造処理が行われる(ステップF3)。この工程では、インゴットに対して、プレス鍛造機またはハンマ鍛造機を使用した熱間鍛造が施され、求められる製品形状にすることができる。熱間鍛造の温度は、1050~1250℃程度に設定される。熱間鍛造でインゴット中の成分偏析の解消と組織の微細化を促進できる。さらに、その後の熱加工処理として、例えば、板状の二相合金を望むのであれば1050℃以上の温度域で熱間圧延を、また管状の二相合金を望むのであれば、上記温度域で熱間押出しを実施してもよい。 Next, an ingot is formed by casting using a predetermined mold (step F2). The obtained ingot can be used as a master ingot for casting and powder production of the following two-phase alloys. Subsequently, a hot forging process is performed on the ingot (step F3). In this step, hot forging using a press forging machine or a hammer forging machine is performed on the ingot, and the required product shape can be obtained. The temperature of hot forging is set to about 1050 to 1250 ° C. Hot forging can promote the elimination of component segregation in the ingot and refinement of the structure. Further, as the subsequent heat processing, for example, if a plate-like two-phase alloy is desired, hot rolling is performed at a temperature range of 1050 ° C. or higher, and if a tubular two-phase alloy is desired, the above temperature range is used. Hot extrusion may be performed.
次に、上記熱間鍛造物には、溶体化熱処理工程が実施される(ステップF4)。この溶体化熱処理によって、基本的に二相合金の組織が決定される。溶体化熱処理の温度は、構成原子の十分な固溶化と熱間加工後に残留する転位等の格子欠陥の消滅を目的に、1050~1250℃の範囲内が望ましく、1100~1200℃が好適である。この溶体化温度範囲の設定で二相合金のフェライト率は十分に10~95%とすることができる。 Next, a solution heat treatment process is performed on the hot forging (step F4). This solution heat treatment basically determines the structure of the two-phase alloy. The temperature of the solution heat treatment is desirably in the range of 1050 to 1250 ° C. and is preferably 1100 to 1200 ° C. for the purpose of sufficient solid solution of constituent atoms and disappearance of lattice defects such as dislocations remaining after hot working. . By setting the solution temperature range, the ferrite ratio of the two-phase alloy can be sufficiently set to 10 to 95%.
さらに、強度の改善のために溶体化熱処理後に追加熱処理として、所謂時効熱処理を行い(ステップF5)、フェライト相からオーステナイト相へ、また高Ni側ではオーステナイト相からフェライト相への相変態を促進させる。これによってそれらの相比を10~95%の範囲の望ましい値に調整できる。この時効熱処理の条件は、相比調整の度合いに応じて、溶体化温度を1050~1250℃として、時効処理温度は800~1000℃、時効時間は0.5~6時間とするのが望ましい。なお、より高Cr濃度の二相合金では、1150℃以上の溶体化温度で、フェライト率が90%を超えることが予想されるが、時効熱処理によって上記の規定の相比に調整できる。 Further, in order to improve the strength, a so-called aging heat treatment is performed as an additional heat treatment after the solution heat treatment (step F5) to promote the phase transformation from the ferrite phase to the austenite phase and from the austenite phase to the ferrite phase on the high Ni side. . Thereby, the phase ratio can be adjusted to a desired value in the range of 10 to 95%. The conditions for this aging heat treatment are desirably set at a solution temperature of 1050 to 1250 ° C., an aging temperature of 800 to 1000 ° C., and an aging time of 0.5 to 6 hours depending on the degree of phase ratio adjustment. In the case of a two-phase alloy having a higher Cr concentration, the ferrite ratio is expected to exceed 90% at a solution temperature of 1150 ° C. or higher, but it can be adjusted to the prescribed phase ratio by aging heat treatment.
これによって溶体化処理合金において、フェライト率が概ね30%以上の二相合金では量的にフェライト相を減じ、オーステナイト相を増やして、二相合金の伸び、靱性の改善ができる。フェライト率が概ね30%以下でオーステナイト相がより優勢な合金では、時効によってオーステナイト相が減じてフェライト相が増加する場合には耐力、引張強さの向上を改善できる。 This makes it possible to improve the elongation and toughness of the two-phase alloy by reducing the ferrite phase quantitatively and increasing the austenite phase in the two-phase alloy having a ferrite ratio of approximately 30% or more in the solution-treated alloy. In an alloy in which the ferrite ratio is approximately 30% or less and the austenite phase is more dominant, when the austenite phase decreases due to aging and the ferrite phase increases, the improvement in yield strength and tensile strength can be improved.

This aging heat treatment can cause an appropriate aging reaction between the active element and C, N and O, that is, precipitation of these compounds. At the same time, the phase ratio can be adjusted. The conditions of this aging heat treatment are desirably a solution temperature of 1050 to 1250 ° C., an aging temperature of 800 to 1000 ° C., and an aging time of 0.5 to 6 hours.
このような二相合金の製造方法における最終熱処理工程は、望ましい耐食性、強度特性に応じて、溶体化熱処理工程であってもよいし、また溶体化熱処理後の時効熱処理工程まで含めて実施してもよい。 The final heat treatment step in such a method for producing a two-phase alloy may be a solution heat treatment step depending on the desired corrosion resistance and strength characteristics, and may be performed up to the aging heat treatment step after the solution heat treatment. Also good.
また、このような二相合金の製造方法によれば、インゴットの熱間鍛造工程及びその後の熱処理工程が実施されて、これにより鋳造欠陥や、合金元素の偏析を含みフェライト相の占有率の高い粗大な二相の鋳造凝固組織が破壊される。そして、化学組成的に及び組織的に均質で、熱力学的に、より安定な二相組織を有する本実施形態の二相合金が得られる。 In addition, according to such a method for producing a two-phase alloy, a hot forging step of an ingot and a subsequent heat treatment step are performed, thereby causing a high occupation rate of the ferrite phase including casting defects and segregation of alloy elements. The coarse two-phase cast solidified structure is destroyed. Thus, the two-phase alloy of the present embodiment having a two-phase structure which is homogeneous in chemical composition and structure and thermodynamically stable can be obtained.

To do. The melting and casting atmosphere can be air, inert gas or vacuum depending on the application, but in order to prevent contamination such as oxidation as much as possible, inert gas or vacuum clean casting is preferred.
鋳造物は凝固組織であり、成分元素の偏析等を改善するために鋳造後、さらに付加的な熱処理を実施することができる。これにより望ましい耐食性、強度特性を得ることができる。具体的には、該鋳造物は、構成成分の均質化等のための溶体化、あるいはその後に時効を含む熱処理を実施できる(ステップC3)。溶体化熱処理の温度は、1050~1250℃程度が望ましく、1100~1200℃が好適である。また、相比調整及び活性元素添加の二相合金に対して、活性元素とC,N及びOとの適切な時効反応促進のための時効熱処理を実施する場合は、溶体化温度を1050~1250℃として、時効処理温度は800~1000℃、時効時間は0.5~6時間とするのが望ましい。 The casting is a solidified structure, and additional heat treatment can be performed after casting in order to improve segregation of component elements.

Thereafter, these powders are classified to a range of about 50 to 200 μm (step A3) and used as the two-phase alloy powder of the present invention. The range of the two-phase alloy powder size can be changed by adjusting the classification according to the application. Since the structure of the two-phase alloy powder is a rapidly solidified structure from a temperature near the liquid phase, particularly in some alloy powders having a composition of high Cr (55% or more) and low Ni (25% or less), The ferrite phase is more likely to be rich, and the specified range of the ferrite ratio of 95% or less is not necessarily satisfied. However, when these alloy powders become a two-phase alloy product that is subsequently heat-processed depending on the application and have a structure that satisfies the specified range, alloy powders with a ferrite ratio of 95% or more are allowed. As an application destination, for example, it can be provided as a two-phase alloy powder for overlaying, 3D printer, or sintering.

This forging condition was similarly applied to the alloys of all Examples and Comparative Examples related to hot forging described later. Next, the solution treatment was carried out under the condition of water cooling after holding at 1100 ° C. for 60 minutes in most of the two-phase alloys, but A6 (Examples 7 to 9), A11 (Examples 15 to 17), A15 For the alloy of (Example 21), it is carried out at 1100, 1200 or 1250 ° C., and after that it is kept at 900 to 1000 ° C. for 60 minutes for adjusting the phase ratio, and then subjected to additional aging heat treatment under water cooling conditions.

時効熱処理は、表4に示すように、合金番号B6では800,900及び1000℃の温度で、他の合金では全て900℃で60分間保持した後、水冷の条件で行った。これによりC、N及びOは、V、Nb、Ta及びTiの活性元素との反応で安定化され、同時に相比の調整も行われて、合金番号B1~B14の合金の実施例23~38が得られた。 As shown in Table 4, the aging heat treatment was performed at a temperature of 800, 900 and 1000 ° C. for the alloy number B6, and for all other alloys at 900 ° C. for 60 minutes, and then under water cooling conditions. As a result, C, N, and O are stabilized by the reaction with the active elements of V, Nb, Ta, and Ti, and at the same time, the phase ratio is adjusted, and Examples 23 to 38 of the alloys of Alloy Nos. B1 to B14 are performed. was gotten.
このように活性元素で安定化した合金番号B1~B14の合金は、Crを主たる成分とし、Cuを質量%で0.11~4.53まで含有するCr基合金であり、フェライト相と、オーステナイト相とからなる二相合金であった。また合金番号B14の合金はさらにMoを含有した。合金番号B1~B14の合金のフェライト率を表4に示す。なお、本実施形態でのフェライト率は、実施例1~22と同様にEBSP解析で得られたものである。さらに、σ相生成の有無を調査するために、Fe成分量が多く、σ相生成の可能性がある合金番号B12及びB13の合金が、800℃で60分間熱処理された。これらの熱処理合金はX線回折で分析されて、Aシリーズの合金と同様にσ相が生成していないことが確認された。このことは実施例のBシリーズ合金において、800℃周りの中間温度域でσ相が生成し難いことを示す。 Alloys of alloy numbers B1 to B14 stabilized with active elements as described above are Cr-based alloys containing Cr as a main component and Cu in a mass percentage of 0.11 to 4.53, and include ferrite phases and austenite. It was a two-phase alloy consisting of phases. Further, the alloy of alloy number B14 further contained Mo. Table 4 shows the ferrite ratios of alloys Nos. B1 to B14. The ferrite ratio in this embodiment was obtained by EBSP analysis as in Examples 1 to 22. Further, in order to investigate the presence or absence of the generation of σ phase, alloys of alloy numbers B12 and B13 with a large amount of Fe component and the possibility of σ phase generation were heat-treated at 800 ° C. for 60 minutes. These heat-treated alloys were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, and it was confirmed that no σ phase was generated as in the case of the A series alloys. This indicates that in the B series alloy of the example, the σ phase is hardly generated in an intermediate temperature range around 800 ° C.
また、強度試験、耐食試験及び摩耗試験は本実施例23~38(合金番号B1~B14)の合金に対して実施した。それらの結果を表4に示す。 Also, the strength test, corrosion resistance test and wear test were performed on the alloys of Examples 23 to 38 (alloy numbers B1 to B14). The results are shown in Table 4.

次に本発明の二相合金の強度、耐食性及び耐摩耗性の評価結果について説明する。 Next, the evaluation results of the strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance of the two-phase alloy of the present invention will be described.
[強度の評価]
ビッカース硬さは、フェライト率の増加にともなって直線的に増加した。また、ビッカース硬さは、フェライト率が概ね40%以上になると400以上となった。
[Evaluation of strength]
Vickers hardness increased linearly with increasing ferrite rate. Further, the Vickers hardness was 400 or more when the ferrite ratio was approximately 40% or more.
耐力は、フェライト率の増加にともなって増加した。表2あるいは表4に示すように、時効処理によってフェライト率を減少させることで高すぎる耐力を減少させることもできた。これは下記の延性の改善に寄与する。 Yield increased with increasing ferrite rate. As shown in Table 2 or 4, it was possible to reduce the proof stress too high by reducing the ferrite rate by aging treatment. This contributes to the following improvement in ductility.
塑性伸びは、フェライト率が60%を超えると、耐力の増加に反比例するように5.0%以下になり(C評価)、フェライト率100%のフェライト単相合金では降伏点前で破断した(D評価)。 When the ferrite percentage exceeds 60%, the plastic elongation becomes 5.0% or less so as to be inversely proportional to the increase in yield strength (C evaluation), and in a ferrite single-phase alloy with a ferrite percentage of 100%, it broke before the yield point ( D evaluation).
Cr量を減少させるかあるいは800~1000℃の時効熱処理でフェライト相を減少させた二相合金では20%を超える伸びを示した。 The two-phase alloy in which the amount of Cr was reduced or the ferrite phase was reduced by aging heat treatment at 800 to 1000 ° C. showed an elongation exceeding 20%.
また表4に示すように、V等の活性元素を添加した二相合金では、表2の活性元素を含まない二相合金と比較して、明確に塑性伸びは増加する傾向にあった。表2及び4から、後者ではA評価が増加した。他方、鋳造工程で製造された二相合金(合金番号C1~C8)では,高温からの急冷凝固組織のためにフェライト率がより高くなり、伸びを低下させた。 Further, as shown in Table 4, in the two-phase alloy to which an active element such as V was added, the plastic elongation tended to increase clearly as compared with the two-phase alloy not containing the active element in Table 2. From Tables 2 and 4, the A rating increased in the latter. On the other hand, in the two-phase alloys (alloy numbers C1 to C8) manufactured in the casting process, the ferrite ratio was higher due to the rapidly solidified structure from high temperature, and the elongation was reduced.
[耐食性の評価]
耐孔食性は、Cuを含む二相合金でと比較例1~10の合金で、良好な結果が得られた。すなわち、腐食電流密度が100μA/cm2に対応する電位はいずれも電位1000mV(vs. SHE)以上であり、これ以上の電位では過不動態域における酸素発生となった。また、孔食発生は全ての試験された合金で認められなかった。他方、比較例11のステライトにおいては電位400mV(vs. SHE)で腐食電流密度が100μA/cm2がを超えた。
[Evaluation of corrosion resistance]
As for pitting corrosion resistance, good results were obtained with the two-phase alloys containing Cu and the alloys of Comparative Examples 1 to 10. That is, all the potentials corresponding to the corrosion current density of 100 μA / cm 2 were 1000 mV (vs. SHE) or higher, and oxygen was generated in the hyperpassive region at potentials higher than this. Also, no pitting corrosion was observed in all tested alloys. On the other hand, in the stellite of Comparative Example 11, the corrosion current density exceeded 100 μA / cm 2 at a potential of 400 mV (vs. SHE).
耐硫酸性は、表2,4及び6に示すように、質量%で0.1から4.65のCuを含む二相合金で、腐食による平均の重量減少速度のm値は、0.1g/(m2・h)より小さい最良のA区分の評価であった。Cu添加無しの二相合金である比較例1及び2は、B評価であり、耐食性に対するCu添加の効果が確認された。またCuとMoが共存する合金においても、0.1g/(m2・h)より小さい最良のA区分の評価が得られた。 As shown in Tables 2, 4 and 6, the sulfuric acid resistance is a two-phase alloy containing 0.1 to 4.65 Cu by mass%, and the m value of the average weight reduction rate due to corrosion is 0.1 g. It was the evaluation of the best A section smaller than / (m 2 · h). Comparative Examples 1 and 2, which are two-phase alloys without Cu addition, were evaluated as B, and the effect of Cu addition on corrosion resistance was confirmed. In addition, in the alloy in which Cu and Mo coexist, evaluation of the best A section smaller than 0.1 g / (m 2 · h) was obtained.
他方、Cu添加二相ステンレス鋼の比較例5及び8では、それぞれB及びC評価であった。比較例11のステライトNo.6においては、重量減少速度は152g/(m2・h)であり、耐硫酸性は悪い。 On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 5 and 8 of the Cu-added duplex stainless steel, the evaluations were B and C, respectively. The stellite no. In No. 6, the weight reduction rate is 152 g / (m 2 · h), and the sulfuric acid resistance is poor.
以上の耐孔食性、耐硫酸性に関する腐食試験の結果から、Crを主たる成分とする二相合金の耐食性は良好と評価されるが、さらにCu添加によって二相合金の耐硫酸性がより高まり、総合的に高耐食化がより図られたと言える。 From the results of the above corrosion tests on pitting corrosion resistance and sulfuric acid resistance, it is evaluated that the corrosion resistance of the two-phase alloy containing Cr as a main component is good, but the sulfuric acid resistance of the two-phase alloy is further increased by addition of Cu, Overall, it can be said that higher corrosion resistance was achieved.
[耐摩耗性の評価]
耐摩耗性は、ステライトNo.6の摩耗量を100にした時の相対値として示され、概ね硬さの増加、すなわちフェライト相の増加に反比例して減少し、オーステナイト単相合金の比較例4(合金番号A20)を除いて、いずれもステライトNo.6よりも耐摩耗性に優れる。
[Evaluation of wear resistance]
The abrasion resistance is Stellite No. 6 is shown as a relative value when the amount of wear is set to 100, and generally decreases in inverse proportion to the increase in hardness, that is, the increase in ferrite phase, except for Comparative Example 4 (alloy number A20) of an austenite single phase alloy. , Both of them Excellent wear resistance than 6.
このように本発明の熱間加工物、鋳造物及び粉末で成形した肉盛材の二相合金は、硬質のフェライト相を有することでいずれも効果的に耐アブレシブ摩耗性を向上できる。 Thus, the two-phase alloy of the build-up material formed of the hot-worked product, cast product and powder of the present invention can effectively improve the abrasive wear resistance by having a hard ferrite phase.
以上のように高Cr化して、フェライト単相ではなく、実施例のフェライト及びオーステナイト相から成る二相合金にすることにより、材料特性として、強度と伸びの確保を可能にし、また構成元素にCuを含むことにより高い耐食性を有することができ、さらに硬質のフェライト相を含むことで耐摩耗性の向上を図ることができる。 As described above, by increasing the Cr content and making it a two-phase alloy consisting of the ferrite and austenite phases of the example instead of the ferrite single phase, it is possible to ensure strength and elongation as material characteristics, and Cu as a constituent element. By including, it can have high corrosion resistance, and also can improve abrasion resistance by including a hard ferrite phase.
このような総合的、多面的な良特性を有する二相合金は、熱間加工物、鋳造物および粉末より成形される肉盛材として利用され、特に厳しい腐食環境に供される機器材料として好適である。 Such a two-phase alloy having comprehensive and multifaceted good characteristics is used as a build-up material formed from hot-worked products, castings and powders, and is particularly suitable as a device material subjected to a severe corrosive environment. It is.
以上のような本発明の実施例の二相合金は、安価なCrを主たる成分とし、油井等の高腐食環境下においても従来よりも強度、耐食性と耐摩耗性の総合面で優れていることが検証された。 The two-phase alloys of the examples of the present invention as described above have inexpensive Cr as the main component, and are superior in strength, corrosion resistance and wear resistance compared to conventional ones even in highly corrosive environments such as oil wells. Was verified.
