Title of Invention: STEEL FOR RESISTANCE TO COMPLEX
CORROSION FROM HYDROCHLORIC ACID AND SULFURIC
ACID, HAVING EXCELLENT WEAR RESISTANCE AND
SURFACE QUALITIES, AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING
THE SAME
Technical Field
[1] Aspects of embodiments relate to a steel for resistance to complex corrosion from
sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, having excellent wear resistance and surface
qualities, and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a steel for
resistance to complex corrosion from sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, having
excellent wear resistance and surface qualities, and capable of being used in fuel gas
treatment equipment for desulfurization or DeNOX facilities used in thermoelectric
power plants, and the like, and a method of manufacturing the same.
[2]
Background Art
[3] In power plants using coal as fuel, etching occurring due to the collision of coal
cinders with inner surfaces of pipes and the like, during combustion gas exhausting
processes, may be a factor in seriously affecting a lifespan of pipes or structures. In
particular, in portions thereof with which coal cinders collide, corrosion may occur
faster than in other portions thereof having widened surface areas, as well as the oc
currence of etching therein. Such erosion due to coal cinder collisions may be
prevented by improving wear resistance. Wear resistance has physical properties in
proportion to strength and may be improved by increasing the strength of steel sheets.
As a representative method for increasing the strength of steel sheets, solid- solution
hardening may be employed, and as representative solid- solution hardening elements,
silicon (Si), phosphorus (P) and the like may be used. However, in general, silicon (Si)
has a problem in that red scale may occur with the use thereof, and although
phosphorus (P) has relatively high reinforcement effects and is relatively cheap, it has
been known that P deteriorates corrosion resistance.
[4]
[5] In general, it has been known that in the case of corrosion resistant steel for r e
sistance to complex corrosion from sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, a large amount
of copper (Cu) is added to steel in order to delay the occurrence of corrosion under an
atmosphere of sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid. Although Cu has a remarkable
effect of significantly delaying a corrosion speed based on sulfuric acid as compared to
other added elements, when a large amount of Cu is added, cracks and the like may
occur at the time of performing hot rolling. In addition, since Cu has a relatively low
melting point, when a large amount of Cu is added, Cu is extruded, causing the oc
currence of cracks in a corner portion, or the like, of slabs to remain as surface defects
therein. When portions having such surface defects are exposed to an environment in
which corrosion may occur, corrosion may occur therein faster than in other portions,
or at the time of processing thereof, fractures may occur therein faster than in other
portions. Accordingly, as in Patent Documents 1 to 3 below, steel to which an ap
propriate amount of Cu is added and other elements are compositely added has been
developed, but as the content of Cu is reduced, corrosion resistance is deteriorated.
[6]
[7] Meanwhile, during a re-heating process to allow slabs to be subjected to hot rolling,
relatively thick scale is formed on surfaces thereof, and a majority of the scale is
removed by a high-pressure water jet before and after rough milling is performed.
However, when an amount of scale having a component of Fayalite (Fe2Si0 4) is
formed, the scale is not completely removed even using a high-pressure water jet,
causing the occurrence of red scale after hot rolling is performed and causing stains to
remain on surfaces thereof, such that the appearance thereof may be degraded and
surfaces may not be uniform. Accordingly, since the formation of corrosion is not
uniform in an environment in which corrosion may occur, another defect may occur
thereby.

[20]
Brief Description of Drawings
[21] The above and other aspects, features and other advantages will be more clearly un
derstood from the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the ac
companying drawings, in which:
[22]
[23] FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating a relationship between a Q value and the amount of
corrosion in samples according to an embodiment of the inventive concept; and
[24] FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating a relationship between tensile strength and a wear depth
of samples according to an embodiment of the inventive concept.
[25]
Best Mode for Carrying out the Invention
[26] Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the ac
companying drawings.
[27]
[28] Embodiments may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be
construed as being limited to embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments
are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully
convey the scope of the inventive concept to those skilled in the art. In the drawings,
the shapes and dimensions of elements may be exaggerated for clarity.
[29]
[30] The inventive concept is provided from research into a solution to defects as
described above, by considering that relatively excellent corrosion resistance may be
secured in an environment in which corrosion occurs due to use of sulfuric acid and
hydrochloric acid, by adding phosphorus (P) so as to significantly improve wear re
sistance, actively controlling a component system in order to solve a problem in that
corrosion resistance is deteriorated due to the addition of P, and controlling a process
condition in a hot rolling process to form a corrosion resistant layer having excellent
corrosion resistance in an environment in which corrosion may occur.
[31]
[32] Hereinafter, embodiments of the inventive concept will be described.
[33]
[34] Carbon (C): 0.1 weight% or less (except for 0)
[35] C is an element added to improve steel strength, but when added in an amount
exceeding 0.15%, welding properties may be significantly degraded, and thus, the po s
sibility of the occurrence of defects may be relatively high at the time of applying a
welding process thereto. Corrosion resistance properties may also be degraded.
Therefore, the content of C may be 0.15 weight% or less, and in detail, 0.13 weight%
or less. In addition, the content of C may also be 0.12 weight% or less, and in further
detail, may be 0.1 weight% or less.
[36]
[37] Silicon (Si): Less than 0.1 weight% (except for 0)
[38] Si is an element added to improve resistance to corrosion from sulfuric acid and h y
drochloric acid and improve steel strength, but when the content of Si exceeds 0.1
weight%, scale having a component such as fayalite, unable to be easily removed by a
high-pressure water jet, may be generated, causing the occurrence of defects such as
red scale, such that corrosion is irregularly formed on a steel sheet to be followed by
partial corrosion occurring thereon. Thus, the content of Si may be less than 0.1
weight%, and in detail, may be 0.08 weight% or less.
[39]
[40] Manganese (Mn): 0.5 to 1.5 weight%
[41] Mn is an element added to prevent the occurrence of hot shortness due to solid
solution sulfur by allowing the solid solution sulfur in steel to be precipitated as
manganese sulfide so as to exhibit a solid solution hardening effect. When the content
of Mn is less than 0.5 weight%, a precipitation amount of MnS is relatively small, and
thus, the possibility of the occurrence of hot shortness due to generation of FeS is
present, and difficulties in securing target strength may be present. When the content
of Mn exceeds 1.5 weight%, the possibility of the occurrence of hot shortness is
relatively low, and an effect of an increase in strength, as compared to the added
amount thereof, is relatively low. Therefore, the content of Mn may be within a range
of 0.5 to 1.5 weight%. In detail, a lower limit of the content of Mn may be 0.6% and an
upper limit of the content of Mn may be 1.3 weight%.
[42]
[43] Sulfur (S): 0.02 weight% or less
[44] Although S is an impurity inevitably contained in steel due to a manufacturing
process thereof, when the content of S exceeds 0.02 weight%, the possibility of the oc
currence of defects due to hot shortness is relatively high, and corrosion resistance may
be deteriorated. Therefore, the content of S may be controlled to have 0.02 weight% or
less.
[45]
[46] Phosphorus (P): Greater than 0.03 to 0.15 weight%
[47] P is an element added to significantly improve wear resistance, and in order to secure
wear resistance required according to an embodiment of the inventive concept, the
content of P may be greater than 0.03 weight%. As the content of P is increased, wear
resistance may be improved, but when the content of P exceeds 0.15 weight%, the possibility
that blue shortness may occur is present. Therefore, P may be within a range of
greater than 0.03 to 0.15 weight%, and in detail, may be within a range of 0.051 to
0.15 weight%.
[48]
[49] Aluminum (Al): Less than 0.05 weight%
[50] Al is an element inevitably added at the time of manufacturing Al-killed steel, but
when the content of Al is 0.05%, welding properties may be significantly deteriorated.
Thus, the content of Al may be controlled to have a content of less than 0.05 weight%.
[51]
[52] Copper (Cu) : 0.1 to 1.0 weight%
[53] Cu is an element added to serve to delay the occurrence of corrosion under an en
vironment in which corrosion may occur due to sulfuric acid/hydrochloric acid, and in
order to obtain such an effect, the content of Cu may be greater than 0.1 weight%.
However, when the content of Cu exceeds 1.0 weight%, cracks may occur in a cast
slab to thus cause surface defects after rolling is performed. Thus, the content of Cu
may be within a range of 0.1 to 1.0 weight%. In detail, a lower limit of the content of
Cu may be 0.2 weight%, and an upper limit of the content of Cu may be 0.8 weight%.
[54]
[55] Nickel (Ni): 0.1 to 0.4 weight%
[56] Ni is an element added to serve to delay the occurrence of corrosion under an en
vironment in which corrosion may occur due to sulfuric acid/hydrochloric acid, and in
order to obtain such an effect, the content of Ni may be greater than 0.1 weight%.
However, when the content of Ni exceeds 0.4 weight%, an effect in which corrosion
resistance is secured or defects occurring due to the addition of Cu are suppressed may
be saturated, causing defects in that production costs are increased. Therefore, the
content of Ni may be within a range of 0.1 to 0.4 weight%, and in detail, may be within
a range of 0.1 to 0.35 weight%.
[57]
[58] Cobalt (Co): 0.03 to 0.1 weight%
[59] Co is an element added to improve corrosion resistance by activating Cu so as to f a
cilitate the generation of corrosion products on a surface thereof in an environment in
which corrosion may occur or generating a Co oxide in an environment in which
corrosion may occur. In order to obtain the effect described above, the content of Co
may be greater than 0.03 weight%. As the content of Co is increased, corrosion r e
sistance is improved, but when the content of Co exceeds 0.1 weight%, since an effect
in which corrosion resistance is improved may not be increased as the added amount
thereof, the content of Co may be within a range of 0.03 to 0.1 weight%.
[61] Antimony (Sb): 0.05 to 0.15 weight%
[62] Sb is added to steel so as to serve to generate a Sb oxide in an environment in which
composite corrosion may occur such that resistance to corrosion from sulfuric acid/
hydrochloric acid is significantly increased, and in order to obtain such an effect, the
content of Sb may be 0.05 weight%. As the content of Sb is increased, resistance to
corrosion is improved, but when the content of Sb exceeds 0.15 weight%, since an
effect in which resistance to corrosion is improved may not be increased as compared
to the added amount thereof, the content of Sb may be within a range of 0.05 to 0.15
weight%. In detail, a lower limit of the content of Sb may be 0.07 weight%, and an
upper limit of the content of Sb may be 0.12 weight%.
[63]
[64] On the other hand, a steel sheet proposed according to an embodiment may satisfy
the above-mentioned component system, and in order to improve resistance to
corrosion and a surface quality, Q and D represented as below may satisfy the
conditions of 4.0-7.0 and 0.4-0.6, respectively.
[65]
[66] 4.0 < Q = 6-3xCu-0.3xSi-5xSb+45xP-45xCo < 7.0
[67] Q indicates the condition to improve resistance to corrosion and a relational ex
pression provided by the present inventors, and a value of Q may satisfy a range of 4.0
to 7.0. When a value of Q exceeds 7.0, it may be difficult to secure an amount of
corrosion of 3.0mg/cm2/Hr or less, according to an embodiment of the inventive
concept, such that difficulties in obtaining relatively excellent corrosion resistance may
be present. As the value of Q decreases, corrosion resistance may be improved, while
when the value of Q is less than 4.0, effects of improvements in resistance to corrosion
may not be increased as compared to an addition amount of an alloy element. Thus, the
value of Q may satisfy a range of 4.0 to 7.0.
[68]
[69] 0.4 < D = Ni/((6-3xCu-0.3xSi-5xSb+45xP-45xCo)/3) < 0.6
[70] D indicates the condition provided to improve a surface quality and a relational ex
pression provided by the present inventors, and a value of D may satisfy a range of 0.4
to 0.6. When a value of D is less than 0.4, surface defects may occur due to cracks in
edge portions of a slab, while when the value of D exceeds 0.6, the possibility of the
occurrence of surface defects may be significantly decreased, but an amount of alloy
added thereto may be relatively high, causing an excessive increase in costs thereof.
[71]
[72] A steel sheet proposed according to an embodiment may include a single or
composite concentration layer formed of one or more selected from a group consisting
of copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni) and antimony (Sb) and having a thickness of
100 to 300nm, to be formed directly under a surface thereof. First, Cu, Co, Ni or Sb is
present as a single concentration layer or is present as a composite concentration layer
configured of, for example, (Cu,Sb), (Cu,Co), (Cu,Ni), (Co,Sb), (Co,Ni), (Sb,Ni),
(Cu,Sb,Co), (Cu,Sb,Ni), (Cu,Co,Ni), (Sb,Co,Ni) or (Cu,Sb,Co,Ni), at the time of man
ufacturing a steel material. Then, in an environment in which corrosion may occur due
to sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, Cu, Co, Ni or Sb may be present as a single or
composite concentration layer or may be present as a single or composite oxide film in
a form of an oxide such as CuxO, CoxO, NixO, SbxO, (Cu,Sb) xO, (Cu,Co) xO, (Cu,Ni) x
O, (Co,Sb) O, (Co,Ni) O, (Sb,Ni) O, (Cu,Sb,Co) O, (Cu,Sb,Ni) O, (Cu,Co,Ni) O,
(Sb,Co,Ni) xO, (Cu,Sb,Co,Ni) xO, or the like. Whereby, wear resistance may be sig
nificantly improved. When the concentration layer has a thickness less than lOOnm, it
may be difficult to secure an amount of corrosion of 3.0mg/cm 2/Hr or less according to
an embodiment of the inventive concept, such that difficulties in obtaining relatively
excellent corrosion resistance may be present. As a thickness of the concentration layer
is increased, the amount of corrosion is decreased, but when the thickness of the con
centration layer exceeds 300nm, effects of improvements in corrosion resistance may
be relatively low, as compared to the addition of a large amount of an alloy. In
addition, since manufacturing costs may be excessively increased, the concentration
layer may have a thickness of 100 to 300nm.
[73]
[74] As described above, the steel sheet according to the embodiment may have an
amount of corrosion of 3mg/cm 2/Hr or less so as to secure significantly excellent
corrosion resistance. In addition, since the steel sheet according to the embodiment
may secure excellent tensile strength of 450MPa or greater and thus a corrosion
resistant layer thereof may be worn in an amount of 0.3mm or less so as to secure
excellent wear resistance in an environment in which corrosion may occur. In addition,
surface defects may not occur.
[75]
[76] Hereinafter, a method of manufacturing a steel sheet according to an embodiment
will be described.
[77]
[78] As described above, a steel slab having the component system proposed as described
above may be reheated at a temperature of 1100 to 1300°C. The reheating may be a
process performed such that an alloy element may be uniformly diffused internally, ev
erywhere, in steel so as not to be segregated in any one region, such that movements of
atoms may be actively undertaken in a hot rolling process, a cold rolling process and a
winding process to be performed later. To this end, a reheating temperature may be
1100°C or higher. However, when the reheating temperature exceeds 1300°C, an
austenite crystal grain may be excessively grown to degrade the strength, and thus, the
reheating temperature may be within a range of 1100 to 1300°C.
[79]
[80] The reheated steel slab may be subjected to a finishing hot rolling process at a tem
perature of 850 to 950°C to thus obtain a hot rolled steel sheet. When the finishingrolling
temperature is lower than 850°C, elongation may be significantly decreased due
to the generation of elongated grains and material deviation per direction may be
increased. When the finishing-rolling temperature exceeds 950°C, since crystal grains
may be excessively grown to deteriorate strength, the finishing hot rolling temperature
may be within a range of 850 to 950°C.
[81]
[82] The obtained hot rolled steel sheet may be cooled at a temperature of 60 to
100°C/sec, based on a steel sheet surface temperature. Through the relatively high
cooling rate as above, driving force required to move an alloy element suitable for
corrosion resistance after the steel sheet is coiled may be increased. However, when
the cooling rate is less than 60°C/sec, driving force may be decreased such that dif
ficulties in allowing atoms to move are present. Therefore, defects in that an amount of
corrosion resistant layers formed in a composite environment, in which composite
corrosion may occur, is reduced may be present. As the cooling rate increases, the
driving force for movements of atoms may be increased, but when the cooling rate
exceeds 100°C/sec, an internal temperature may be lowered, such that recuperative
heat is not actively operated and thus the movement of an alloy element suitable for
forming the corrosion resistant layer may not be smooth. Thus, the cooling rate may be
within a range of 60 to 100°C/sec. In detail, the cooling rate may be within a range of
70 to 100°C/sec.
[83]
[84] Then, the steel sheet may be coiled at a temperature of 650 to 750°C. When the
coiling temperature is lower than 650°C, the movement of atoms may not be easy in a
coiling process, such that difficulties in forming a corrosion resistant layer may be
present in an environment in which corrosion may occur. When the coiling tem
perature exceeds 750°C, crystal grains of the hot rolled steel sheet may be excessively
grown to rapidly deteriorate steel strength. Therefore, the coiling temperature may be
within a range of 650 to 750°C.
[85]
[86] On the other hand, at the time of performing a coiling process, a steel sheet surface
may have a temperature of 650°C or higher by a recuperative heat phenomenon. Even
when an internal temperature of the steel sheet is within a range of 650 to 750°C
through the cooling process, the surface of the steel sheet may have a temperature
lower than that in the temperature range described above, due to rapid cooling of the
steel sheet surface. Therefore, through the recuperative heat process, the movement of
an alloy element suitable for forming the corrosion resistant layer may be active, and
thus, the corrosion resistant layer may be formed to have a sufficient thickness. In
order to obtain the sufficient effect as described above, the surface temperature of the
steel sheet passed through the recuperative heat process may be 650°C or higher, but
even when the steel sheet has passed through a sufficient recuperative heat process, a
surface temperature of the steel sheet may not easily exceed 750°C.
[87]
[88] The coiled steel sheet may be slowly cooled to 300°C or lower at a rate of 50 to
100°C/hr. When the cooling speed is excessively fast, since difficulties in forming the
corrosion resistant layer may be present, the cooling speed may be 100°C/hr or lower,
but when the cooling speed is less than 50°C/hr, the size of a crystal grain may be ex
cessively great, to deteriorate steel strength. Thus, the cooling speed may be within a
range of 50 to 100°C/hr. When the cooling stop temperature exceeds 300°C, an element
forming the corrosion resistant layer, such as copper (Cu), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), or
antimony (Sb), may not be sufficiently diffused on a surface thereof such that dif
ficulties in forming the corrosion resistant layer may be present. Thus, the cooling stop
temperature may be 300°C or lower. A lower limit of the cooling stop temperature is
not particularly limited as long as the above-mentioned condition according to the em
bodiment is satisfied. Accordingly, the cooling speed may be within a range of 50 to
100°C/hr. In detail, the cooling speed may be within a range of 50 to 90°C/hr.
[89]
[90] Hereinafter, the inventive concept will be described in more detail through em
bodiments. The following embodiments may only be provided by way of examples so
that the disclosure will be described in further detail to those skilled in the art, without
limiting the scope of the invention.
[91]
[92] (Embodiment)
[93] A steel ingot having a component system as illustrated in the following table 1 was
prepared, re-heated to a temperature of 1200°C and then maintained thereat for one
hour, and was then subjected to hot rolling at 900°C to thereby manufacture a hot
rolled steel sheet having a thickness of 4.5mm. The hot rolled steel sheet sample was
cooled to 600°C, based on a steel sheet surface temperature, on a run-out table at a rate
of 80°C/sec, a cooling condition illustrated in the following table 2. The sample was
coiled in a coiling furnace in a temperature condition illustrated in the following table
2, and was then cooled at a rate of 60°C/hr in the coiling furnace. The sample was
extracted from the coiling furnace, and in this case, the temperature of the sample was
250°C, and the sample was then subjected to air cooling processing performed to room
temperature. With respect to the samples manufactured as above, tensile strength was
measured and whether or not surface defects occurred was checked, and in order to in
vestigate corrosion characteristics in a composite corrosion condition of sulfuric acidhydrochloric
acid, the samples were immersed in a mixed solution of sulfuric acid of
16.9 vol and hydrochloric acid of 0.35 vol at a temperature of 60°C for six hours
and the amounts of corrosion occurring in the respective samples were measured. After
the amounts of corrosion occurring in the respective samples were measured, the
samples were cut to measure a thickness of cross sections of corrosion resistant layers.
In addition, steel grit was sprayed to the sample having the size of 20mmx30mm for
30 minutes to allow the sample to be worn thereby and then a thickness of a worn
portion of the sample in which the worn amount was greatest in a central portion
thereof was measured to evaluate wear resistance properties.

[95] Table 1
[Table 1]
4.0 < Q = 6-3xCu-0.3xSi-5xSb+45xP-45xCo < 7.00.4 < D = Ni/

Table 2
[Table 2]
[99] As can be seen in tables 1 and 2 above, in the cases of embodiments 1 to 4 satisfying
the component system and the manufacturing conditions proposed according to the
embodiment of the inventive concept, it can be seen that the amount of corrosion in an
environment in which corrosion occurs due to sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid is
3mg/cm 2/Hr or lower, to exhibit relatively excellent corrosion resistance properties. In
addition, it can be appreciated that since surface defects such as red scale, edge cracks
or the like do not occur, a significantly good surface quality may be secured. Further, it
may be confirmed that a wear depth of the corrosion resistant layer is 0.25mm or less,
and thus significantly excellent wear resistance may be provided while securing
relatively excellent tensile strength of 450MPa or higher.
[100]
[101] However, in the case of comparative example 1, it could be appreciated that an
excessive amount of silicon (Si) was added to cause the occurrence of red scale, and
thus, relatively low tensile strength of 352MPa was represented to deteriorate wear re
sistance properties.
[102]
[103] In the case of comparative example 2, it could be appreciated that relatively high
strength of 525MPa was represented and wear resistance was excellent, while since a
D value and a Q value did not satisfy the conditions provided according to an em
bodiment of the inventive concept due to the non-addition of nickel (Ni) and cobalt
(Co) to thus cause the occurrence of cracks in an edge. In addition, it could be ap
preciated that since the corrosion resistant layer was not formed to have a sufficient
thickness while having the amount of corrosion of 6.3mg/cm 2/Hr therein, the com
parative sample had significantly inferior quality as compared to the embodiments.
[104]
[105] In the case of comparative example 3, it could be appreciated that an excessive
amount of silicon (Si) was added, and thus red scale occurred, while a Q value also sig
nificantly deviated from the conditions provided according to an embodiment of the
inventive concept, the amount of corrosion therein was 5.7mg/cm 2/Hr, and thus a sig
nificantly inferior quality was provided in the comparative sample as compared to the
embodiments.
[106]
[107] In the case of comparative example 4, it could be appreciated that a surface defect
did not occur, but since a Q value did not satisfy the conditions according to the em
bodiment of the inventive concept, a sufficient thickness of the corrosion resistant
layer was not formed, providing a relatively low level of wear resistance.
[108]
[109] In the case of comparative example 5, it could be appreciated that although a
component system thereof is significantly similar to that of embodiment 1, the sample
did not satisfy the manufacturing conditions according to the embodiment of the
inventive concept, as well as a D value, such that the amount of corrosion therein was
4.2mg/cm2/Hr, providing significantly lower corrosion resistance as compared to that
in the embodiments.

[111] FIG. 1 is a graph illustrating a relationship between a Q value and an amount of
corrosion in samples according to an embodiment of the inventive concept. As can be
seen from FIG. 1, when a value of Q satisfies the conditions provided according to an
embodiment of the inventive concept, the amount of corrosion may be 3.0mg/cm2/Hr
or lower to have relatively excellent corrosion resistance, while when the value of Q is
6.0 or greater, deviating from the conditions provided according to an embodiment of
the inventive concept, the amount of corrosion may exceed 3.0mg/cm2/Hr to cause de
teriorated corrosion resistance.
[112]
[113] FIG. 2 is a graph illustrating a relationship between tensile strength and a wear depth
of samples according to an embodiment of the inventive concept. As can be seen from
FIG. 2, as the strength is increased, a wear depth is reduced to thereby have relatively
excellent wear resistance. In addition, when the conditions provided according to an
embodiment are satisfied, relatively high strength may be realized to secure relatively
excellent wear resistance while a lifespan of equipment is prolonged.
[114]
[115] While the inventive concept has been shown and described in connection with the
embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications and
variations can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the inventive
concept as defined by the appended claims.
