Abstract (en)
Steel components of the boiler enclosure are manufactured and comprise (in wt.%): 0.03-0.15 C, 0-0.5 Si, 0.4-2.5 Mn, 0.5-3 Ni, 0-1 Cr, 0-0.5 Mo, 0-0.07 Al, 0-0.04 Ti, 0-0.004 B, 0-0.02 V, 0-0.05 Nb, below 1 Cu, below 0.015 S, and below 0.03 P. Manufacturing a boiler enclosure to work under pressure between -40-200 degrees C with cracking risks under stress generated by H2S as defined by the standard specification NACE MR 0175-97 comprises manufacturing steel components of the boiler enclosure comprising (in wt.%): 0.03-0.15 C, 0-0.5 Si, 0.4-2.5 Mn, 0.5-3 Ni, 0-1 Cr, 0-0.5 Mo, 0-0.07 Al, 0-0.04 Ti, 0-0.004 B, 0-0.02 V, 0-0.05 Nb, below 1 Cu, below 0.015 S, and below 0.03 P. The chemical composition is CET = C+ (Mn+Mo)/10 + (Cr+Cu)/20 + Ni/40 below 0.35 and the critical cooling time between 800 degrees C and 500 degrees C: cct 800/500 is below 10 s. The components are quenched and tempered, after or before forming, in order to obtain a martensitic or a martensitic-bainitic structure comprising less than 10 % ferrite. After forming the components, they are relaxed at a temperature above 595 degrees C, the components are welded with an energy and pre-heating conditions such that the cooling time ct 800/500 between 800 and 500 degrees C of the heated zone is above 5 s. A post-welding thermal treatment is performed at a temperature Tpw above 595 degrees C and below 680 degrees C. The obtained steel has a tensile strength above 550 Mpa, a yield strength above 450 MPa, an elongation above 17 % and an impact strength at -40 degrees C above 40 Joules, and hardness everywhere on the surface of the enclosure below 248 HV. Independent claims are also included for (1) a boiler enclosure manufactured as above, and (2) a steel for manufacturing boiler enclosure.
