Simulation Trial and Finite Element Simulation Study on Temperature Field of Pipes in Walking Beam Reheating Furnace
Xu Letian, Liu Liangyong, Li Yunlong, Xu Yaowen, Wan Wuxia
Abstract185)   HTML0)    PDF (2054KB)(225)      
The heating process of 4140 alloy steel pipe in the walking beam reheating furnace was studied by means of experiment and three-dimensional finite element numerical simulation, the temperature change and distribution of the pipe were analyzed. The results showed that the temperature of the head of the steel pipe entering the furnace first was 30-50 ℃ higher than that of the middle and tail part,and there was uneven heating phenomenon along the circumference of the steel pipe. When the temperature exceeded 800 ℃,the temperature difference between each part of the pipe gradually decreased,and the overall temperature tended to be uniform. Below the austenitizing temperature,the heating rate gradually decreased from 0.35 ℃/s to 0 ℃/s,and when the austenitization was complete,it increased slightly and then decreased again. Compared to the middle section, the temperature was higher at both the end and the head of the steel pipe,and the influencing area was less than 200 mm. When the temperature was about 400 ℃,the temperature difference between the end surface and the middle was the largest,reaching 117 ℃. However,the temperature difference gradually decreased to less than 2 ℃ at the end of the calculation. The simulation results were in good agreement with the measured value. When the inner surface of the steel pipe was treated as adiabatic boundary, it had relatively little influence on the temperature,which could make it possible to simplify the model roughly.

Wu Liangliang, Wu Yongchao, Zhou Jiaxiang, Zhang Xu
Abstract194)   HTML0)    PDF (1415KB)(255)      
In view of the special working conditions of 350 ℃ high temperature, 17 MPa high pressure and multiple cycles of steam huff and puff in thermal production wells, the mechanical properties of TP110H during the first steam injection and multiple cycles of injection and production are studied. The test shows that TP110H generates thermal stress up to 764 MPa during thermal injection, and the material generates a small amount of plastic strain and stress relaxation effect. The string stress of 15 rounds of steam huff and puff is basically stable, and the strength and elongation at room temperature are basically unchanged before and after the experiment. The high-temperature yield strength at 350 ℃ decreases by about 50 MPa, the tensile strength decreases by about 13 MPa, and the elongation after fracture decreases by about 2%.

Song Jingling, Zhou Xuan, Li Henghua
Abstract922)   HTML1)    PDF (3808KB)(382)      
In order to explore the problems and improvement methods of the current production process of 37Mn5 steel for oil casing smelting in a steel mill, in this paper the whole process sampling analysis of two consecutive heats in the industrial production of the steel plant, including metallographic specimen, oxygen and nitrogen rod and refined slag sample, was conducted. After optimization and improvement, the final conclusions are as follows:(1)secondary oxidation occurs in different degrees in the LF refining and VD calcium treatment stage, specially feeding calcium line stage reaction is more violent , which is easy to cause the secondary oxidation of the liquid steel and increasing of Ds inclusions.  By optimizing the refining deoxyoperation, the amount of calcium line feeding is reduced from 1.4-1.7 m/t to 0.95 m/t, and all kinds of inclusions are grade ≤1.5, and the qualified rate is 100%;(2) the composition analysis of refining slag shows that the residue components in the ternary phase diagram are all outside the liquid phase region, which results in poor melting performance and poor liquidity of the refining slag. By increasing SiO 2 in the slag from to 9%-12%, Al 2O 3 to 25%-30%, and controlling the binary alkalinity at 5-8, it can improve the melting and fluidity of the slag, strengthen the coverage capacity of the slag, and effectively prevent secondary oxidation;(3) compared to the VD stage, the oxygen and nitrogen content in the tundish casting stage is basically stable, but the number of inclusions has been increased to a certain extent, and the growth rate of the inclusions is far higher than the endogenous rate of the inclusion, therefore, the source is from slag rolling, the smooth casting of the tundish shall be kept, at the same time to avoid the occurrence of dropping off slag phenomenon of the ladle.

Abstract200)      PDF (1440KB)(168)      
During the production of large-sized P92 ferrite heat-resistant seamless steel pipe by rotary piercing process,the inner surface of the steel pipe is prone to produce small cracks. Through metallographic analysis,high-temperature phase transformation calculation and high-temperature heating test, the studies show that because of the higher heating temperature and the longer heating time,which increases the surface oxidation and decarburization,during the heating process of the P92 billet with a through hole in the center make a large number of high temperature δ ferrite phases near the inner wall and then the cracks generate and propagate around the δ Ferrite phases at the subsequent process of rotary piercing. According to the mechanism of internal surface cracks,through the control of the Cr<13%,Ni eq<4% for P92 pipe chemical composition, the lowering of the billet heating temperature from 1220-1250 ℃ to 1190-1220℃,and the improvement parameters of roll speed,roll distance and the piercing point,the problem of cracks on the internal surface of large-diameter P92 seamless steel pipe is effectively solved,and the yield and production efficiency of P92 seamless steel pipe are improved.

Abstract166)      PDF (1175KB)(152)      
The causes and practical effects of macrostructure “bubbles” in WB36 thick wall seamless steel pipe are analyzed and studied by means of scanning electron microscope,magnetic particle and ultrasonic flaw detection and performance test. The results show that the main reasons for the formation of macrostructure bubbles are poor deoxidation,high pouring temperature,and damp of ladle and refractory materials etc,the bubbles are short linear dark stripes at the macro, and circular or elliptical holes in the micro,it is mainly distributed near the inner wall to 1/2 wall thickness of the steel pipe corresponding to ingot head near hot top. Slight bubbles cannot be detected by magnetic particle,penetration and ultrasonic flaw detection,which has little impact on the mechanical properties of the steel pipe at room temperature. With controlling casting temperature of WB36 steel below 1590℃,holding time of VD refining at 67 Pa should not be less than 15 min,and moisture content of heating agent and thermal insulation material less than 0. 1%,the generation of macrostructure bubble defects can be effectively prevented.

Tang Ke, Peng Jun , Fu Kegang , Zhu Ping, Xiang Xin , Liao Kai
Abstract215)      PDF (903KB)(243)      
SUS410 half martensitic stainless steel (0.08% ~0.15%C , 12.5%~13.5%Cr) is easy to produce inner surface defects in production of hot rolled thick-walled seamless steel tubes. The localization analysis of the crack defects at inner surface of 139.7 mm x 38.1 mm tube, the results shows that the thermoplastic decline of steel is caused by the large precipitation of δ-ferrite in steel near crack. During the deformation process, the deformation of the two-phase region is not coordinated, and finally cracks appear at the boundary between austenite and δ-ferrite. According to tlie Schaeffler phase diagram, the chemical composition of steel is redesigned, the Cr equivalent /Ni equivalent ratio decreases from 4.51 of originel defect tube to ≤ 3.0, the heating temperature of tube bloom decreases from 1200~1300℃ to 1180~1280 ℃ ,the internal surface defects are effectively solved, and the qualified rate of ultrasonic flaw detection increases to 97.9%.
