Table 4: Sub surface hardiness
During the course of the work, the applicant has developed the following alloy design philosophy that is based on the use of low Mn concentrations and a low Carbon Equivalent (CET) value.
Low Mn (low CET) Alloy Design Philosophy
Key features of the low Mn (low CET) alloy design are as follows : 1. Low Mn is essential since it imparts: a. Improved weldability (via low CET Carbon Equivalent) since Mn exerts a relatively strong penalty for the CET value. The improved weldability is primarily evident in lower weld HAZ cracking sensitivity and reduced requirements for minimum preheat and weld interpass temperature restrictions. b. Reduced centreline segregation (arising from Mn enrichment in continuously cast slab production) which directly reduces susceptibility to delayed cracking after gas cutting (especially in the hardened quenched condition). c. Reduced microstructural banding (arising from Mn microsegregation) which directly enhances isotropic bending performance, Charpy toughness and through thickness tensile ductility. d. Smaller sulphide inclusions at a given sulphur content in the steel so that higher Charpy toughness levels, improved bendability and through thickness tensile ductility are attainable in comparison to high Mn steels. This means that high Mn steels must exercise more severe limitations on both the S content and inclusion morphology than is necessary for low Mn steels to produce equivalent toughness. 2 . Ti additions may be used for: a. Combining N in the steel as TiN to minimise the risk for transverse cracking that might otherwise arise from the embrittling formation of grain boundary precipitates of AIN or BN during continuous casting and thereby ensure excellent surface quality. b. Combining N so that boron can be effective in the enhancement of through hardening of the plate during the quenching cycle of the plate heat treatment. c. Partially combining with MnS inclusions to increase their deformation resistance during hot rolling and thereby optimise toughness, bendability and through thickness tensile ductility. d. Provides control of austenite grain size in the austenitising phase of the Q&T heat treatment cycle and in the coarse grained weld heat affected zone thereby enhancing both parent metal plate and weld zone toughness . 3. V additions may be used for: a. Assisting in the risk abatement of delayed cracking in the hardened plate through H trapping mechanisms. b. Controlling the resistance to high temperature softening in wear applications where temperature increases due to abrasive wear, hot environments or the handling of hot materials such as coke can elevate the steel plate temperatures. c. Controlling the balance of toughness and strength required for high strength structural Q&T plates via secondary hardening behaviour. Mo additions may also be used in conjunction with V for this purpose. 4. Ni additions may be used for enhancing low temperature plate toughness . 5. Cr additions may be used as a primary alloying element for ensuring adequate hardenability for through hardening of plates during heat treatment. It is preferred to Mn because of its relatively lower segregating tendencies in steelmaking and its much smaller penalty to the CET carbon equivalent (weldability) than Mn.
Basic Method Applied to Low CET Quench and Temper Wear Plates 1. Select minimum C content required to achieve a target BHN in quenched condition (after J. M. Hodge and M. A. Orehoski, "Relationship Between Hardenability and Percentage of Martensite in Some Low Alloy Steels," J. ΑΙΜΕ, 167 (1946), p. 627.). 2. Select primary aim chemical analysis (based on the above low Mn (and low CET) alloy design philosophy) for the required critical plate thickness consideration (maximum plate thickness to be produced from the selected chemistry range).
This key step determines the basic disposition of the steel in relation to weldability (preheat levels, crack resistance), delayed cracking resistance after gas cutting, bendability and through thickness tensile ductility. 3. Adjust critical steelmaking parameters, including primary aim chemical analysis to further tailor specific requirements such as for isotropic and low temperature toughness, heat resistance and optimised manufacturability.
Basic Method Applied to Tempered Structural Steel
Plates 1. Select aim C content required to optimise strength, weldability, and toughness requirements. For a 690 MPa (750 MPa tensile strength), this will generally be in the range of 0.12-0.17% C. 2 . For nominated C level, select primary aim chemical analysis (based on the above low Mn (and low CET) alloy design philosophy) for the required critical plate thickness consideration (maximum plate thickness to be produced from the selected chemistry range). 3. Adjust critical steelmaking parameters, including primary aim chemical analysis to further tailor specific requirements such as for isotropic and low temperature toughness, through tensile ductility, heat resistance and optimised manufacturability.
The research and development work carried out using the above-described low Mn (and low CET) approach included the development and assessment of 400, 450 and 500 BH, quench and tempered wear grades, and structural quench and tempered grades with minimum yield strength of 690 MPa (750 MPa tensile strength).
Assessment work carried out included, but was not limited to; 1. Surface hardness and through thickness hardness profiles. 2. Tensile properties to determine yield, tensile strength and elongation. 3. Bend tests to quantify formability performance. 4. Weldability assessment, which included, but was not limited to: i. Weld bead-on-plate (BOP) tests to determine the parent, heat affected zone (HAZ) and fusion line hardness, ii. Transverse weld tensile properties, iii. Weld HAZ Charpy V notch impact properties to determine the toughness of weld fusion line and HAZ at various distances from fusion line, iv. Cold cracking resistance was determined using RRC (Ridged Restraint Cracking) weld tests.
Typical chemistries of grades developed via the low Mn philosophy are shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Typical chemical composition of quench and tempered grades based on low Mn design.
In addition to the above grades, the applicant has developed a 600 Brinell Hardness grade via the low Mn philosophy. This grade is particularly suitable for use in the manufacture of armored vehicles and in hard rock mining applications. As described above, the grade is made from steel comprising 0.38-0.42% C, 0.30-0.34% Mn, 0.20-0.30% Mo, 0.020.06% Al, 0.02-0.03% Ti, 0-7-1.3% Cr, 0.2-0.6% Ni, 0.01-0.02% P and 0.001-0.002% B. Steel plate in thicknesses ranging from 1250 mm (specifically 12, 16, 20, 25, 32, 40, and 50 mm) is manufactured from the steel composition by quenching from an austenising temperature of around 900°C and tempering the quenched plate at 150-200°C for 30 minutes. The plate has a hardness of 600 Brinell and a Yield Stress of 1800 MPa and a Tensile Strength of 2000 MPa.
Many modifications may be made to the present invention described above without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
