Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0001]    The present invention belongs to the field of steel and iron materials as well as machining and preparation thereof, and particularly relates to a machining technology of a low-temperature high-strength-ductility high manganese steel, high manganese steel plate, and high manganese steel tube. 
       BACKGROUND ART 
       [0002]    As is well-known, the low-temperature brittle fracture of steel is one of the most dangerous failures of a steel structure, the steel material features a brittle fracture at low temperature, and generally the steel and iron material has the following features when the brittle fracture occurs: (1) the operating stress born in fracture is lower than the yield limits; (2) once the brittle fracture occurs, it spreads at a very high speed (2000 m/s or higher); (3) the fracture is flat and straight, the reduction of area is small, and there is no macroscopic deformation feature on the exterior appearance; and (4) the appearance of fracture is generally an intergranular fracture. Once the brittle failure occurs, there will be significant losses, for example, in the World War II, there were about 1000 Liberty ships having brittle fractures. 
         [0003]    Therefore, to continuously improve the low-temperature plasticity of the material becomes a research and test hotspot. At present, there are mainly two types of steel and iron materials widely used at low temperature. One type is low-carbon martensite low-temperature steel which is mainly 3.5% Ni, 5% Ni and 9% Ni steels. This type of steel plate can meet requirements on properties, but is expensive due to the high content of nickel; the other type is austenite low-temperature steel which mainly includes steel grades such as AISI304, 304LN, 316, 316LN and 310, and its chemical components are shown in table 1; this type of steel grade is low in low-temperature strength; although the low-temperature strength of the steel grades 304LN and 316LN is improved to certain extent by means of nitrogen strengthening, this type of steel is likely to have martensitic phase transformation that generates magnetism and stress. Consequently, the two types of steel described above have disadvantages that are insurmountable technically and economically.

       SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0004]    The present invention aims at solving the technical problem for providing a machining technology of a low-temperature high-strength-ductility high manganese steel, high manganese steel plate, and high manganese steel tube. The percentage by weight of manganese in the components of the low-temperature high-strength-ductility high manganese steel is increased, smelted steel ingots are subject to solution treatment and are rolled and homogenized to obtain a high manganese steel plate or are drawn to form a high manganese steel tube. The hot-rolled or cold-rolled steel plate after being hot-rolled has tremendous application value in the fields of low-temperature applications. 
         [0005]    In order to solve the technical problem described above, the present invention adopts a technical proposal 1 as follows: 
         [0006]    a low-temperature high-strength-ductility high manganese steel comprises the following components percentage by weight: Mn 30%-36%, C 0.02%-0.06%, S≦0.01%, P≦0.008% and the balance being Fe. 
         [0007]    The percentage by weight of manganese is preferably 32-35% and more preferably 34-34.5%. 
         [0008]    In the technical proposal described above, the content of manganese is increased to 32% or higher, after the smelted steel ingot is subjected to solution treatment and tempering homogenization, it features optimal ductility, high yield strength and high tensile strength at low temperature, and fractograph shows dimples. 
         [0009]    The present invention further provides a technical proposal 2: 
         [0010]    a machining technology of a low-temperature high-strength-ductility high manganese steel plate comprises steps of smelting high manganese steel, post-treating steel ingot, cogging and rolling to form a plate, and the process steps comprise the following parameters: 
         [0011]    A. smelting the high manganese steel: calculating a charging ratio according to the percentage by weight of components in the high manganese steel: Mn 30%-36%, C 0.02%-0.06%, S≦0.01%, P≦0.008% and the balance being Fe, and smelting the components into the steel ingot; 
         [0012]    B. post-treating the steel ingots: keeping the steel ingot smelted in step A under the condition of 1150 DEG C.-1200 DEG C. and performing heat treatment for 2-4 hours, and then transferring the steel ingot into a water quenching tank at room temperature to complete solid solution treatment; and 
         [0013]    C. cogging and rolling the steel ingot to form a plate: performing hot rolling, tempering and homogenizing after cogging the steel ingot after solid solution treatment. 
         [0014]    The content of Mn in percentage by weight in the components of high manganese steel in step A is preferably 32%-35%. 
         [0015]    The material components of the present invention belong to a scope of super-high manganese steel. It is generally believed that high manganese steel features brittle-ductile transition under low temperatures, and its low temperature fracture modes are predominately intergranular brittle failure when the content of manganese exceeds 30%. The content of manganese is increased to 30-36% in the above technical solution, and the crude plate prepared after hot rolling and homogenization features optimal ductility and higher yield strength and tensile strength at low temperature, and the fractograph shows dimples. 
         [0016]    Step D is performed on the crude plate after being hot rolled in the above technical solution: after hot rolling, homogenizing the crude plate, performing cold rolling, annealing and homogenizing to form shape. Conditions of cold rolling, annealing and homogenizing are: performing 10-20 cold rolling passes at room temperature on the crude plate after being hot rolled and homogenized to form a plate with a thickness of 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm, the rolling deformation is 90% to 93%, and the steel plate is maintained under 500 DEG C.-1000 DEG C. for 0.5-2 hours, then transferred to a water quenching tank at room temperature for homogenization. 
         [0017]    Cold-roll the crude plate after being hot rolled and homogenized again to form a thin steel plate with a tensile strength still higher than the requirement of relevant standards. The steel plate (1.0-2.0 mm) obtained by cold rolling and annealing has different grain sizes and different fracture behaviors under different treatment conditions. When used at low temperature (−170 DEG C. to −196 DEG C.) under annealing condition of 500 DEG C. to 710 DEG C., the yield strength reaches 525 to 612 MPa (σ0.2), and even reaches 1018 MPa, the tensile strength reaches 958-982 MPa (σb), and even up to 1193 MPa; and the uniform elongation reaches 40.0 to 53.7%; when used at low temperature (−170 DEG C. to −196 DEG C.) under the condition of 800 DEG C. to 1000 DEG C., the yield strength reaches 413 to 456 MPa (σ0.2), the tensile strength reaches 620 to 754 MPa (σb), and the uniform elongation reaches 8.8 to 18.0%, which is applicable to low temperature. 
         [0018]    The present invention further provides a technical proposal 3: 
         [0019]    A machining technology of a low-temperature plastic high manganese steel tubular product comprises steps of smelting high manganese steel, post-treating steel ingot, and cogging and rolling to form a plate, and the process steps comprise the following parameters: 
         [0020]    step A. calculating a feeding ratio according to the percentage by weight of components in the high manganese steel: Mn 30%-36%, C 0.02%-0.06%, S≦0.01%, P≦0.008% and the balance being Fe, and smelting the components into the steel ingot; 
         [0021]    step B. post-treating the steel ingot: maintaining the steel ingot smelted in step A under the condition of 1150 DEG C.-1200 DEG C., performing heat treatment for 2-4 hours, and then transferring the steel ingot into the room temperature water quenching tank to complete solid solution treatment; and 
         [0022]    step C. cogging and drawing to obtain the tubular product: performing hot rolling, tempering and homogenizing on the steel ingot after cogging the steel ingot on which solid solution treatment is performed. 
         [0023]    step D: cold-drawing the tubular product at room temperature after hot drawing and homogenizing into a thin-wall tubular product with a wall thickness of 1.0 mm-2.0 mm, maintaining the thin-wall tubular product at 600 DEG C. to 850 DEG C. for 0.5-2 hours, and then transferring into a water quenching tank at room temperature for homogenization. 
         [0024]    The advantageous effects produced by applying the above technical solution lie in: (1) the low-temperature high-strength-ductility steel plate of the present invention has simple components, low cost, and its cost is greatly reduced particularly when it is used in low temperature field to replace high-nickel steel; (2) the heat treatment process is simple, applicable to scale production, and is energy saving and environmental protection, and the manufacturing technique is simple, and easy to implement; and (3) the processed steel plate and steel pipe can be suited for low temperature environment, especially for environment of −170 DEG C. to −196 DEG C., and can be used for the preparation of low temperature pressure vessel.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     Embodiment 1 
       [0055]    A high manganese steel in this embodiment comprising the following components in percentage by weight: Mn 34%, C 0.04%, S≦0.01%, P≦0.008% and the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. Strictly limit the content of S and P. Specific processing steps are as follows: 
         [0056]    A. Calculating a feeding ratio according to the foregoing percentage by weight of the high manganese steel, and smelting in the line frequency electric induction furnace and argon plus pressure ambient in the furnace, so as to prevent the volatilization of the Mn during smelting, and smelting to form a steel ingot. 
         [0057]    B. Post-treating the steel ingot: keeping the steel ingot smelted in step A under the condition of 1150 DEG C.-1200 DEG C. and performing heat treatment for 2-4 hours, and then transferring the steel ingot into a water quenching tank at room temperature to complete solid solution treatment; after solid solution treatment, dissolving phases in the cast ingot, which is advantageous for improving toughness and corrosion resistance of the high manganese steel, and relieving stress and softening. 
         [0058]    C. Cogging and rolling the steel ingot to form a plate: performing hot rolling, tempering and homogenizing after cogging the steel ingot after solid solution treatment. 
         [0059]    Technological conditions for hot rolling and homogenizing are: first, heating a crude plate to 800-1000 C; then, carrying out hot rolling into a tube with a wall thickness of 10-20 mm; after that, maintaining for 1-2 hours at 1000-1100 DEG C.; then, transferring to a room-temperature water quenching tank for homogenization. After hot rolling, homogenization is performed to cancel stress concentration point caused by hot rolling. 
         [0060]    The thickness of the crude plate during hot rolling in the embodiment is 13 mm, and a tensile test is performed on the crude plate according to GB/T 13239-2006 (metal material tensile test method at low temperature), and tensile strain rate is 10 −3 s −1 , and averaged results can be seen in Table 2, and the engineering stress-engineered strain curve can be seen in  FIG. 1 .

       Embodiment 2 
       [0061]    On the basis of embodiment 1, step D is further comprised: after hot rolling, homogenizing the crude plate, performing cold rolling, annealing and homogenizing to form shape. 
         [0062]    Conditions for cold-rolling are: cold rolling is performed on the crude plate after hot rolling and homogenizing for 10-20 times into steel having a thickness of 1 mm-2.0 mm, rolled deformation reduction is 90%-93%, an XRD test is performed on this sample, and its XRD diffractograms can be seen in  FIG. 2 . 
         [0063]    Annealing and homogenizing to form shape: the steel plate obtained by cold rolling is annealed at 700 DEG C. for 1 hour and is transferred for homogenization at room-temperature in a water quenching tank by annealing, and the high-manganese steel plate is obtained, which then experiences an XRD test and an EBSD (Electron Backscatter Pattern) test, as shown in  FIGS. 3-4  respectively. 
         [0064]    As can be seen in  FIG. 2 , a cold-rolled steel plate is an austenite structure with a fully face-centered cubic structure. As can be seen in  FIG. 3 , the steel plate is still the austenite structure with the complete face-centered cubic structure after undergoing annealing of 800 DEG C. for 1 hour and no phase transition occurs. The average grain size of the steel plate shown in  FIG. 4  is 3.8 μm. 
         [0065]    The prepared steel plate in the embodiment undergoes a tensile test according to GB/T 13239-2006 (a metal material low-temperature tensile test method), and the tensile conditions and test results are shown in Table 3.

         [0066]    A tensile curve is shown in  FIG. 5 . It can be seen, from the tensile curve of −180 DEG C., that wave-like uplift appears at a work hardening stage of the curve. An SEM test is conducted on the tensile fracture of a tensile sample at the temperature, as shown in  FIGS. 6 and 7 , an SEM photograph shows that the tensile sample shows intergranular fracture and belongs to typical brittle fracture. It is generally believed that the intergranular fracture is the brittle fracture, and a material producing the brittle fracture is non-plastic (i.e. the average elongation percentage is smaller than 5%). Although the designed material in the embodiment is of brittle fracture, the uniform elongation is up to 18%, and the material belongs to a plastic material. 
         [0067]    It can be seen, from the appearance photograph (see  FIG. 8 ) after the sample produces the tensile failure, that a large number of micro cracks perpendicular to the tensile direction are distributed on the surface of a thin-walled tube, the micro cracks are produced on the surface of the sample, and the cracks extend for a certain distance and then stop. Crack propagation develops in the tensile direction, the width of cracks is 3 mm to 5 mm, and the depth should be around 4 to 8 micrometers and is about equal to the depth of one or two grain sizes. Preliminary analysis: numerous micro cracks distributed in the surface of the surface of the tensile sample release stress so as to enable the uniform elongation percentage to be above 18%, and the low-temperature plasticity of the type of thin-walled tubes is increased. Further research on a specific mechanism is still needed.

       [0074]    A difference from embodiments 1 and 2 is that: the content of Mn is 34.5 wt %, the thickness of a crude plate is 13.8 mm, and in step D, after the 13.8 mm crude plate is cold rolled to a thickness reduction of 92.9%, it is annealed at 550 DEG C. for 1 hour and then transferred to a water quenching tank at room temperature and is subjected to a tensile test. The tensile temperature is −196 DEG C. (liquid nitrogen), and the tensile speed is 1.5 mm/min; test mechanical data include: tensile strength is 1193 MPa, yield strength is 1018 MPa and elongation is 40.0%. Post-breaking fracture parallel ends (referred to a deformation area within a scale distance) are subjected to an XRD test, a fracture is subjected to an SEM test, and results are shown respectively in  FIGS. 27 and 28 . The results show that no phase change occurs after breaking at −196 DEG C., and the structure is still a stable fully austenitic structure. A post-breaking fracture SEM photograph shows a dimple fracture. 
         [0075]    A product of strength and ductility is calculated in the tensile test according to embodiments 2-7, and a comparison with the prior art is made. It can be seen from  FIG. 19  that the high manganese steel of the present invention features a best product of strength and ductility at low temperature after grain refining, specifically higher than 50GPa • %. 
         [0076]    A tensile fracture of a high manganese steel obtained by annealing at 550 DEG C. to 700 DEG C. is of a dimple type; a tensile fracture of a high manganese steel obtained by annealing at 800-1000 DEG C. is an intergranular fracture. 
         [0077]    The tensile strength of a high manganese steel of fine grain size in the present invention at −180 DEG C. and −196 DEG C. is approximate to that of stainless steel 304 added with Ni 12% at −162 DEG C., its ductility is much higher than that of stainless steels 304 added with Ni 8% and Ni 12% at −162 DEG C., as shown in tensile curves of the stainless steels added with Ni 8% and Ni 12%, disclosed in  Effect of Ni content on the tensile properties and strain - induced martensite transformation for  304  stainless steel  ( Materials Science and Engineering A  528(2011) 2277-2281) by Do-Yeal Ryoo, Namhyun Kang, Chung-Yun Kang.

       [0082]    The high manganese steel in the embodiment comprises components in percentage by weight: Mn 34%, C 0.04%, S≦0.01%, P≦0.008% and the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The contents of sulfur and phosphorous are subjected to impurity limiting conditions. 
         [0083]    A machining technology comprises: 
         [0084]    Step A, calculating a feeding ratio according to the foregoing percentage by weight of the high manganese steel, and smelting in the line frequency electric induction furnace and argon plus pressure ambient in the furnace, so as to prevent the volatilization of the Mn during smelting. 
         [0085]    Step B, post-treating the steel ingot: keeping the steel ingot smelted in step A under the condition of 1150 DEG C.-1200 DEG C. and performing heat treatment for 2-4 hours, and then transferring the steel ingot into a water quenching tank at room temperature to complete solid solution treatment; after solid solution treatment, dissolving phases in the cast ingot, which is advantageous for improving toughness and corrosion resistance of the high manganese steel, relieving stress and softening. 
         [0086]    Step C, cogging and rolling the steel ingot to form a plate: performing hot rolling, tempering and homogenizing after cogging the steel ingot after solid solution treatment. 
         [0087]    Technological conditions for hot rolling and homogenizing are as follows: first, heating a crude plate to 800-1000 DEG C.; then, carrying out hot rolling into a tube with a wall thickness of 13 mm; after that, maintaining for 1-2 hours at 1000-1100 DEG C.; then, transferring to a room-temperature water quenching tank for homogenization. A purpose of homogenization is to remove stress concentration points generated by hot drawing to improve mechanical properties of the tubular product. 
         [0088]    An EBSD (electron backscatter pattern) test is carried out for the tubular product in the present embodiment. It can be seen from  FIG. 20  that the tubular product after hot drawing is of a fully austenitic structure, with the ,mean grain size were measured to be 47 μm. 
         [0089]    Tensile tests are carried out for the tubular product of the present embodiment in accordance with GB/T 13239-2006 (Metallic Materials-Tensile Testing at Low Temperature), the tensile strain rate is 10 −3 s −1 . See Table 7 for results.

         [0092]    Conditions of cold drawing and annealing homogenization are as follows: cold-drawing the hot-drawn tubular product after homogenization at room temperature to make it into a thin wall tube with a wall thickness of 1.0-2.0 mm; maintaining the thin wall tube for 1 hour at 800-850 DEG C.; after that, transferring to a room-temperature water quenching tank to complete annealing homogenization. 
         [0093]    Prior to annealing, an X-ray diffraction test is carried out for the thin wall tubular product, and its XRD view is shown in  FIG. 21 ; the thin wall tubular product is annealed at 800-850 DEG C.; after that, an XRD test and EBSD (electron backscatter pattern) test are carried out, which are shown in  FIG. 22  and  FIG. 23  respectively. 
         [0094]    It can be seen from  FIG. 21  that the thin wall tubular product after cold drawing is the austenitic structure that is of a fully face-centered-cubic structure; it can be seen from  FIG. 22  that the thin wall tubular product which has been annealed for 1 hour is still the austenitic structure that is of a fully face-centered-cubic structure, and there is no phase transition;  FIG. 23  shows that the thin wall tube is: the mean grain size was measured to be 4 μm with annealing twin boundaries also counted for the grain size measurement.

         [0096]    An SEM test is carried out for the tensile fracture of a tensile sample. Referring to  FIG. 25  and  FIG. 26 , SEM photographs show that the tensile sample belongs to a typical intergranular fracture, which is a typical brittle fracture. 
         [0097]    Analysis of results: it is generally believed that an intergranular fracture is a brittle fracture, and materials leading to brittle fracture have no plasticity (namely, the average ductility is smaller than 5%), and that once a brittle fracture occurs, it will expand at an extremely fast rate, which will lead to the fracture of the whole. Although the designed material in the present invention belongs to a brittle fracture, it has a uniform tensile ductility of more than 18%, and relatively high yield strength and tensile strength, which is not only one of the key points of the present invention, but also the important parameter enabling it to be used in low temperature environment. 
         [0098]    After the tensile sample is fractured, a large quantity of micro-cracks, which are perpendicular to the tensile direction, are distributed parallel on the surface of the sample along the tensile direction. Micro-cracks produce on the surface of the sample and have a crack width of 3-5 mm and a depth of about 4-8 mm which is approximately equal to one or two grain sizes. Preliminary analysis: a large quantity of micro-cracks which are distributed on the surface of the tensile sample release stress, which makes the tube&#39;s uniform ductility reach more than 18%, thus improving the low temperature plasticity of this kind of tubes.
