Specification

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a ferritic heat resistant steel welded joint.
Background technology
[0002]
In recent years, in thermal power generation, high temperature and high pressure steam conditions have been promoted in order to improve thermal efficiency, and in the future, operations under ultra-supercritical pressure conditions of 650 ° C and 350 atm are planned. Ferritic heat-resistant steels are widely used because they are not only cheaper than austenitic heat-resistant steels or Ni-based heat-resistant steels, but also have an advantage as high-temperature steels having a small coefficient of thermal expansion.
[0003]
Regarding ferritic heat-resistant steel, in order to cope with the severe steam conditions in the future, for example, the contents of W and Mo are optimized as in Patent Document 1 or Patent Document 2, and Co and B are contained. A material with high strength has been proposed. Further, as disclosed in Patent Document 3, various materials having high strength have been proposed by positively utilizing the carbide or the intermetallic compound phase deposited at the interface of the martensitras.
[0004]
Further, recently, ferrite for the purpose of suppressing a decrease in creep strength of a weld heat-affected zone (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “HAZ”) of a welded joint, which is a problem when ferritic heat-resistant steel is used as a welded structure. Various ferritic steels have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 4 discloses a ferrite-based heat-resistant steel capable of suppressing a decrease in creep strength in HAZ by suppressing granulation in HAZ by containing 0.003% to 0.03% of B. ing. Further, Patent Document 5 and Patent Document 6 contain a large amount of B, and by adjusting the C content according to the welding heat input or the B content, the decrease in the strength of HAZ is suppressed and the HAZ strength is suppressed. Ferritic heat-resistant steels that can prevent liquefaction cracking during welding are disclosed.
[0005]
By the way, these ferrite heat-resistant steels containing a large amount of B are generally used by welding. Therefore, as a welding material used at the time of welding, for example, Patent Document 7 contains 0.0005% to 0.006% of B and adjusts (Mo + W) / (Ni + Co) to a predetermined range. Welding materials for ferritic heat-resistant steels that achieve both creep strength and toughness have been proposed. Further, Patent Document 8 optionally contains 0.0005% to 0.006% of B, and in addition to (Mo + W) / (Ni + Co) and (0.5 × Co + 0.5 × Mn + Ni), Cr equivalent amount. Welding materials for ferritic heat-resistant steels have been proposed in which both creep strength and toughness are achieved by adjusting the above. Further, Patent Document 9 contains B: 0.007% to 0.015%, and is excellent by adjusting (Cr + 6Si + 1.5W + 11V + 5Nb + 10B-40C-30N-4Ni-2Co-2Mn) to a predetermined range. Welding materials for ferritic heat-resistant steel that have both creep strength and toughness are disclosed.

[Manufacturing method of ferritic heat-resistant steel welded joint]
The method for manufacturing a ferritic heat-resistant steel welded joint according to the present disclosure includes a multi-layer welding process in which a ferritic heat-resistant steel base material containing 0.006% to 0.023% of B is multi-layer welded with a welding material for a Ni-based heat-resistant alloy. ..
Then, the area [SBM] of the molten ferrite-based heat-resistant steel base material and the area [SWM] of the weld metal in the cross section of the welded portion after the first layer welding and before the second layer welding in the multilayer welding step. The first layer welding is performed under the welding conditions satisfying the following equation (1) with respect to the mass% [% BBM] of B contained in the ferrite-based heat-resistant steel base material.
0.1 ≤ [S BM] / [S WM] ≤ -50 x [% B BM] +1.3 ... (1)
[0014]
The present inventors conducted a detailed investigation in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. As a result, the following findings were clarified.
(1) When a ferrite heat-resistant steel base material containing 0.006% to 0.023% of B is welded using a welding material for a Ni-based heat-resistant alloy, solidification cracks are likely to occur in the weld metal of the first layer. The reason for this is that B contained in the base metal flows into the weld metal due to the melting of the base metal during welding.
[0015]
(2) In order to suppress solidification cracking that occurs in the first layer weld metal, the amount of melt of the base material in the first layer weld metal is within a predetermined range according to the B content of the base material for ferritic heat-resistant steel. It turns out that it needs to be managed. Specifically, the area of ​​the molten ferritic heat-resistant steel base metal [SBM] and the area of ​​the weld metal (first layer weld metal) [S] in the cross section of the welded portion after the first layer weld and before the second layer weld. The ratio with [WM] needs to be {-50 × [% B BM] +1.3} or less with respect to the amount (% by mass) [% B BM] of B contained in the ferritic heat-resistant steel base material. Revealed that there is.
[0016]
Here, the reason why the upper limit of the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] is defined by the formula {-50 × [% BBM] +1.3} will be described. That is, this relationship was tested using various ferrite heat-resistant steel base materials having different B contents [% B BM], and the relationship between the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] and the presence or absence of solidification cracks was determined. As a result of the investigation, it was experimentally derived that solidification cracking can be suppressed when [SBM] / [SWM] is smaller than {-50 × [% BBM] +1.3}.
[0017]
(3) Suppressing the melting of the ferritic heat-resistant steel base material is effective in suppressing stable solidification cracking, but when the melting of the base material is extremely suppressed, another welding defect, so-called fusion failure or back wave. It turned out that defects are likely to occur. In order to suppress this, the area [SBM] of the molten ferritic heat-resistant steel base material and the weld metal (first layer weld metal) in the cross section of the welded portion after the first layer weld and before the second layer weld. It was also clarified that it is effective to control the initial layer welding so that the ratio of the ferritic stainless steel to the area [SWM] is 0.1 or more.
[0018]
Based on the above findings, the reasons for limiting the manufacturing method of ferritic heat-resistant steel welded joints in this disclosure are as follows.
When a ferrite heat-resistant steel base material containing 0.006% to 0.023% of B is multi-layer welded using a welding material for Ni-based heat-resistant alloy, the crossing of the welded portion after the first layer welding and before the second layer welding. The ratio [SBM] / [SWM] of the area [SBM] of the molten ferrite heat-resistant steel base material and the area [SWM] of the weld metal (first layer weld metal) on the surface is the ferrite heat-resistant steel. It shall be {-50 × [% B BM] +1.3} or less according to the mass% [% B BM] of B contained in the base material.
[0019]
If the ratio [S BM] / [S WM] is {-50 × [% B BM] +1.3} or less, even if B flows into the weld metal from the base metal during the initial layer welding, the final solidified portion It is considered that the decrease in the solidification temperature is suppressed because the amount of B concentrated in the residual liquid phase of the above is reduced. As a result, solidification cracking in the first layer weld metal is suppressed.
When the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] exceeds {-50 × [% BBM] +1.3}, B excessively flows from the base metal into the weld metal during the initial layer welding. Excessive for weld metal It is considered that B that has flowed into the weld metal is concentrated in the residual liquid phase of the final solidified portion when the weld metal is solidified, lowers the solidification temperature, and causes solidification cracking.
[0020]
In order to suppress solidification cracking of the weld metal, the smaller the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] is, the more preferable it is. Wave defects are likely to occur. Therefore, the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] is set to 0.1 or more. More preferably, it is 0.2 or more.
[0021]
For the above reasons, the preferable range of the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] is defined in the following equation (1).
0.1 ≤ [S BM] / [S WM] ≤ -50 x [% B BM] +1.3 ... (1)
[0022]
・ Ratio [SBM] / [SWM] control method
The ratio [SBM] / [SWM] appropriately controls the welding conditions at the time of first layer welding, for example, welding heat input, welding material supply speed, groove shape, gap, welding method, shield gas type, and the like. This can be within a predetermined range.
[0023]
・ Measurement method of [SBM] and [SWM]
[SBM] and [SWM] are required as follows.
That is, the cross section of the welded portion after the first layer welding and before the second layer welding is revealed. For example, the exposed cross section is as shown in FIG. For this cross section, the area [SWM] of the weld metal (first layer weld metal) 4 and the area [SBM] of the ferritic heat-resistant steel base metal melted from the original groove shape can be obtained by image analysis. ..
[0024]
The cross section is a cross section in a direction orthogonal to the butt plane between the butt base materials 2A and 2B. The appearance of the cross section is obtained by cutting the stationary portion in the welded portion after the first layer welding and before the second layer welding, that is, the portion where the weld bead is stably formed except for the arc start portion and the crater portion. Make it appear.
The area [SWM] of the weld metal (first layer weld metal) 4 is the first layer weld of the weld metal 4 (base metal 2A and 2B) in the cross section of the welded portion after the first layer welding and before the second layer welding. Refers to the area (including the part considered to have been melted by).
The area [SBM] of the molten ferrite heat-resistant steel base material refers to the area of ​​the portion of the base materials 2A and 2B that is considered to have been melted by the initial layer welding before the initial layer welding.
[0025]
Specifically, the image analysis of the cross section is performed as follows.
From the image data of the cross section of the welded portion that appeared above, the four weld metal parts, that is, the region corresponding to the area [SWM] are color-coded in order to distinguish them from the other regions. From the geometric information at the time of groove processing on the image data, in order to distinguish the portion melted at the time of initial layer welding in the base materials 2A and 2B, that is, the region corresponding to the area [SBM] from other regions as well. Color code. Then, the area of ​​each color-coded region is measured using commercially available image analysis processing software.
[0026]
Next, the chemical composition of the base material for ferritic heat-resistant steel used in the present disclosure is not particularly limited as long as the steel composition has a B content of 0.006% to 0.023%, but is described below. The composition shown is preferable. In the following description, the "%" indication of the content of each element means "mass%".
[0027]
B: 0.006% -0.023%
B is effective for obtaining a martensite structure, and finely disperses carbides at the former austenite boundary and the martensite lath boundary during use at high temperature, suppresses the recovery of the structure, and greatly contributes to the improvement of creep strength. .. It is also an effective element for reducing the decrease in creep strength of the weld heat affected zone. In order to obtain the effect, it is contained in an amount of 0.006% or more. However, if it is contained in an excessive amount, it flows into the weld metal during welding, increasing the susceptibility to solidification and cracking and causing a decrease in toughness. Therefore, the upper limit is 0.023%. The preferred lower limit of the B content is 0.007%, the preferred upper limit is 0.018%, the more preferred lower limit is 0.008%, and the further preferred upper limit is 0.015%.
[0028]
C: 0.04% to 0.15%
C is effective for obtaining a martensite structure and also produces fine carbides when used at a high temperature, which contributes to ensuring creep strength. In order to obtain the sufficient effect, it may be contained in an amount of 0.04% or more. However, if it is contained in excess of 0.15%, the effect of improving creep strength is saturated, so the content is set to 0.15% or less. The preferred lower limit of the C content is 0.05%, and the preferred upper limit is 0.13%. A more preferable lower limit is 0.07%, and a further preferable upper limit is 0.11%.
[0029]
Si: 0.05% to 0.80%
Si is contained as a deoxidizing agent, but is an element effective for water vapor oxidation resistance. In order to obtain the effect, it is contained in an amount of 0.05% or more. However, if it is contained in excess, it causes a decrease in creep ductility and ductility. Therefore, the Si content is set to 0.80% or less. The preferred lower limit of the Si content is 0.10%, and the preferred upper limit is 0.60%. A more preferable lower limit is 0.20%, and a further preferable upper limit is 0.50%.
[0030]
Mn: 0.10% to 1.00%
Mn is an element that is contained as a deoxidizing agent like Si, but is also effective in obtaining a martensite structure. In order to obtain the effect, it is contained in an amount of 0.10% or more. However, if Mn is excessively contained, creep embrittlement is caused, so the Mn content is set to 1.00% or less. The preferred lower limit of the Mn content is 0.20%, and the preferred upper limit is 0.80%. A more preferable lower limit is 0.30%, and a further preferable upper limit is 0.70%.
[0031]
P: 0% to 0.020%
P is contained as an impurity, and if it is contained in excess, creep ductility is lowered. Therefore, the content of P is 0.020% or less. The content of P is preferably 0.018% or less, and more preferably 0.016% or less. The lower the content of P, the better, that is, the content may be 0%, but the extreme reduction significantly increases the material cost. Therefore, the preferable lower limit of the P content is 0.0005%, and the more preferable lower limit is 0.001%.
[0032]
S: 0% to 0.010%
Like P, S is contained as an impurity, and if it is contained in excess, creep ductility is lowered. Therefore, the content of S is 0.010% or less. The S content is preferably 0.008% or less, more preferably 0.005% or less. The lower the content of S, the better, that is, the content may be 0%, but the extreme reduction significantly increases the manufacturing cost. Therefore, the desirable lower limit of the S content is 0.0002%.
[0033]
Cr: 8.0% to 10.0%
Cr is an element effective for ensuring water vapor oxidation resistance and corrosion resistance at high temperatures. In addition, it precipitates as carbide during use at high temperature, which also contributes to the improvement of creep strength. In order to obtain these effects sufficiently, it is sufficient to contain Cr of 8.0% or more. However, if it is excessively contained, the stability of the carbide is lowered and the creep strength is lowered. Therefore, the Cr content is set to 10.0% or less. The preferred lower limit of the Cr content is 8.3%, and the preferred upper limit is 9.8%. A more preferable lower limit is 8.5%, and a further preferable upper limit is 9.5%.
[0034]
Total of at least one of Mo and W: 0.5% -4.0%
Both Mo and W are elements that dissolve in the matrix or precipitate as intermetallic compounds during long-term use and contribute to ensuring creep strength at high temperatures. In order to obtain this effect, at least one kind may be contained in a total of 0.5% or more. However, if it is contained in excess of 4.0%, the effect of improving creep strength is saturated and the material cost is increased because it is a very expensive element. Therefore, it should be 4.0% or less. The preferred lower limit is 0.8% and the preferred upper limit is 3.8%. A more preferable lower limit is 1.0%, and a further preferable upper limit is 3.5%.
[0035]
Total of at least one of Nb and Ta: 0.02% to 0.30%
Nb and Ta precipitate in the grains as fine carbonitrides during use at high temperatures, contributing to the improvement of creep strength. In order to obtain the effect, at least one kind may be contained in a total of 0.02% or more. However, if the content is excessive, a large amount and coarse precipitation will occur, resulting in a decrease in creep strength and creep ductility. Therefore, the upper limit is 0.30%. The preferred lower limit of the content is 0.04% and the preferred upper limit is 0.25%. A more preferable lower limit is 0.06%, and a further preferable upper limit is 0.20%.
[0036]
V: 0.05% to 0.40%
Like Nb and Ta, V precipitates in the grains as fine carbonitrides during use at high temperatures, and contributes to the improvement of creep strength. In order to obtain the effect, it is contained in an amount of 0.05% or more. However, if the content is excessive, a large amount and coarse precipitation will occur, resulting in a decrease in creep strength and creep ductility. Therefore, the upper limit of the V content is 0.40%. The preferred lower limit is 0.10% and the preferred upper limit is 0.35%. A more preferable lower limit is 0.15%, and a further preferable upper limit is 0.25%.
[0037]
N: 0.002% -0.025%
N finely precipitates in the grains as fine nitrides during use at high temperatures, and contributes to the improvement of creep strength. In order to obtain this effect, it is contained in an amount of 0.002% or more. However, if it is contained in an excessive amount, the nitride will be coarsened and the creep ductility will be lowered. Therefore, the N content is limited to 0.025%. The preferred lower limit is 0.004% and the preferred upper limit is 0.020%. A more preferable lower limit is 0.006%, and a further preferable upper limit is 0.015%.
[0038]
Al: 0% to 0.030%
Al is contained as a deoxidizing agent, but if it is contained in a large amount, the cleanliness is significantly impaired and the processability is deteriorated. It is also not preferable from the viewpoint of creep strength. Therefore, the Al content is 0.030% or less. It is preferably 0.025% or less, more preferably 0.020% or less. The lower limit does not need to be set in particular, that is, the content may be 0%, but the extreme reduction increases the manufacturing cost. Therefore, it may be more than 0%, preferably 0.001% or more. Al here means Sol. Refers to Al (solid solution Al).
[0039]
O: 0% to 0.020%
O exists as an impurity, but when it is contained in a large amount, it lowers workability. Therefore, the content of O is 0.020% or less. It is preferably 0.018% or less, more preferably 0.015% or less. The lower limit does not need to be set in particular, that is, the content may be 0%, but the extreme reduction increases the manufacturing cost. Therefore, it may be more than 0%, preferably 0.001% or more.
[0040]
Further, the base material for ferritic heat-resistant steel used in the present disclosure is at least one element belonging to at least one group from the following groups 1 to 3 below, instead of a part of Fe contained in the base material. May be contained. The reason for the limitation is described below.
[0041]
Group 1 Co: 4.0% or less, Ni: 1.00% or less, Cu: 1.0% or less
Co: 4.0% or less (0% to 4.0%)
The content of Co may be 0%, or it may be contained because it is an element effective for obtaining a martensite structure and improving creep strength. However, if added in excess, creep strength and creep ductility will rather decrease. In addition, since it is a very expensive element, it increases the material cost. Therefore, the Co content is set to 4.0% or less. The preferred upper limit is 3.8%, and the more preferred upper limit is 3.5%. When it is contained, the preferable lower limit is 0.05%, and the more preferable lower limit is 0.1%.
[0042]
Ni: 1.00% or less (0% to 1.00%)
Ni may have a content of 0%, and like Co, it may be contained as needed because it is effective for obtaining a martensite structure. However, the above Co content range In the surroundings, even if it is contained in excess of 1.00%, its effect is saturated and it is an expensive element, so the upper limit is 1.00%. The preferred upper limit is 0.80%, more preferably 0.60% or less. When it is contained, the preferable lower limit is 0.05%, and the more preferable lower limit is 0.10%.
[0043]
Cu: 1.0% or less (0% to 1.0%)
Cu may have a content of 0%, and like Co and Ni, it may be contained as necessary because it is effective in forming a martensite structure. However, if the content exceeds 1.0%, the creep ductility is lowered, so the content is set to 1.0% or less. The preferred upper limit is 0.8%, more preferably 0.6% or less. When it is contained, the preferable lower limit is 0.05%, and the more preferable lower limit is 0.1%.

It was processed into a plate material having a thickness of 12 mm, a width of 50 mm, and a length of 200 mm, and manufactured for a welding base material.
[0069]
[table 1]

[0070]
After processing the U groove in FIG. 2 in the longitudinal direction of the above welding base plate, butt welding is performed for a Ni-based heat-resistant alloy having an outer diameter of 1.2 mm and having the chemical composition shown in Table 2. The first layer was welded using the material by automatic gas tungsten arc welding with Ar as the shield gas. During welding, the heat input was varied from 6 to 10 kJ / cm and the supply rate of the welding material was varied from 2.5 to 7.5 mm / s.
After performing a penetrant inspection test on the weld metal surface of the obtained welded joint and confirming the presence or absence of cracks, the cross section of the weld was revealed by the above method, and melted in the cross section of the weld after the first layer weld. The area of ​​the base metal [SBM] and the area of ​​the weld metal [SWM] were measured by image processing, the ratio [SBM] / [SWM] was obtained, and the relationship with the crack of the first layer weld metal was evaluated. .. Furthermore, the presence or absence of back wave formation was visually observed. Then, the welded joint in which there was no instruction pattern of cracking and the back wave was formed in the penetrant inspection test was regarded as "pass".
[0071]
[Table 2]

[0072]
In addition, some of the accepted welded joint codes were laminated and welded by automatic gas tungsten arc welding with a heat input of 12 kJ / cm and a welding material supply speed of 5.5 mm / s.
From the obtained welded joint, a round bar creep test piece having a weld metal in the center of the parallel portion was collected. Then, a creep rupture test was conducted under the conditions of 650 ° C. and 127 MPa, and those having a rupture time exceeding 1000 hours were regarded as "passed". The results are shown in Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5. A "-" in the creep rupture test of a welded joint means that the creep rupture test was not performed.

[0074]
[Table 4]

[0075]
[Table 5]

[0076]
Table 3, Table 4, and Table 5 also show the results of each of the above tests.
From Tables 3, 4, and 5, welded joint codes that satisfy the conditions specified in the present disclosure do not cause weld metal cracks or back wave formation during initial layer welding, and the welded joint also has high creep strength. It turns out that it can be obtained.
On the other hand, welded joint substitutes A-1, A-11, A-16, A-21, D-1 to D-4, D-6 to D-7, D-11 to D-15, and Since G-1 to G-3 exceed the upper limit determined by the relational expression (formula (1)) of the ratio between the area of ​​the molten base metal [SBM] and the area of ​​the weld metal [SWM], they are used as the weld metal. A crack has occurred. In A-10, D-10, and G-5, the ratio of the area of ​​the molten base metal [SBM] to the area of ​​the weld metal [SWM] was less than 0.1, so that back wave non-formation occurred. bottom.
Further, since the B content of the base metal of the welded joints E-1 to E-10 exceeds the range of the present disclosure, it is not possible to suppress the cracking of the weld metal and form the back wave at the same time.
Although the weld metal cracks can be stably suppressed in the welded joint substitutes F-1 to F-5, the B content of the base metal is below the range of the present disclosure, so that high creep strength of the welded joint cannot be obtained. ..
[0077]
It can be seen that a sound welded joint can be obtained only when the requirements of the present disclosure are satisfied.
Industrial applicability
