Cause analysis of flaw detection disqualification of steel for DH36 offshore platform and process improvement
Utilizing ultrasonic flaw detection technology,a comprehensive inspection was conducted on steel plates after rolling,and a systematic analysis was performed to identify the causes of flaw detection.The causes of cracks and inclu-sions result from Nb and Ti were elaborated,revealing the microstructures and maromorphology of these defects.Adopting KR hot metal desulfurization:The hot metal adopts a full slag removal process,with the incoming S less than 0.005%,hot metal temperature more than 1 340 ℃,converter compound blowing throughout the process with argon,endpoint carbon content controlled between 0.04%-0.06%,utilizing a slide gate for slag retention,and a steel tapping time more than 4 minutes,etc.The implementation of these measures is vital for ensuring the safety and reliability of steel used in ocean platforms and contributes to quality control in the steel industry.
