ステンレス鋼の熱間圧延プレートと冷間圧延プレートの違い

ステンレス鋼は優れた耐食性、加工性、生物適合性、および広い温度範囲での高い靭性を備えており、石油化学産業、原子エネルギー、軽工業、繊維、食品、家電製品などの分野で広く使用されています。ステンレス鋼板の形成には、熱間圧延と冷間圧延が不可欠なプロセスです。熱間圧延された板は冷間圧延された板の原料であり、両者はステンレス鋼板の微細構造に影響を与えます。

ステンレス鋼の熱間圧延加工は、スラブ(主に連続鋳造スラブ)から行われます。このスラブは加熱され、粗加工ミルおよび仕上げミルグループで加工されます。最後の仕上げミルからの熱鋼は、ラミナリーフローで指定温度まで冷却され、コイル状に圧延されます。冷却後の鋼は酸化された表面を持ち、黒色で一般的に「ステンレス鋼ブラックコイル」として知られています。アニールおよびピッキング後、酸化された表面が除去され、「ステンレス鋼ホワイトロール」となります。一部の熱間圧延ステンレス鋼製品は直接使用でき、一部は使用前に冷間圧延製品に加工する必要があります。

ステンレス鋼冷延板は、一般的にステンレス鋼の熱延板を冷延装置(単立式冷延/多筋冷延)で圧延加工した製品です。異なる加工方法と再加工工程により、ステンレス鋼板の表面には、異なる表面仕上げ、粒状構造、色合いが与えられます。ステンレス鋼板の表面加工には、2D、2B、No.3、No.4、No.4、HL、BA、TR、エンボス加工などがあります。冷延ステンレス鋼板の表面加工には、電気めっき、電解研磨、方向性パターン、エッチング、ショットペインティング、着色、コーティングなど、さまざまな深加工加工が可能です。また、熱延加工後のNo.1表面およびパターンプレートも追加で導入できます。ステンレス鋼板の冷延と冷延とはどのような違いがありますか?

 

異なる表面品質

ステンレス鋼冷延板は表面品質が良く、酸化物層がなく、様々な表面処理が可能です。ステンレス鋼熱延板は通常、No 1処理で、酸化物層、グレーホワイト(ピクルス)、またはブラックブラウン(電気めっきされていない)があります。電気めっき後の冷延板の平滑度は、熱延板のものよりも高いです。

 

価格が異なる

ステンレス鋼冷延板の靭性と表面品質は熱延板よりも高いですが、価格は熱延板よりも高いです。

 

異なる用途

ステンレス鋼冷延板は、建築装飾、製品、家電製品、鉄道輸送、自動車、エレベーター、コンテナ、太陽エネルギー、精密電子機器など、様々な民生および産業分野で広く使用されています。2D、2B、BA、および研磨面は、建築装飾、エレベーター、コンテナなどのほとんどの製品に使用できます。成形または再加工後の冷延板は、家電製品、鉄道輸送、自動車、太陽エネルギー、精密電子機器などの表面品質の要求が高い場所で使用できます。

フェリチックステンレス鋼は何に使用されますか?

Ferrite stainless steel refers to the stainless steel with 11%~30%Cr and cubic crystal ferrite structure. Its high chromium content is the main element that affects its performance. The advantages of Ferritic stainless steel include low cost (without nickel), good magnetic conductivity, excellent stress corrosion resistance; Small working hardening tendency, easy to cold heading and cutting; High thermal conductivity (1.5 times that of Austenitic steel), low linear expansion coefficient (60% of Austenitic steel), but also obvious disadvantages such as poor plasticity and low strength in post-processing, easy welding cracking. Ferritic stainless steel is mainly used in oxidizing medium and nitride medium, suitable for heat exchange and heat circulation purposes, provides a wide range of applications.

 

Architecture and structure applications

Ferritic stainless steel is used as the roof and curtain wall of buildings because of its good resistance to atmospheric corrosion. High-chromium ferritic stainless steels used in coastal areas have been developed, and atmospheric corrosion-resistant stainless steels contain high levels of chromium and molybdenum and are supplemented with small amounts of niobium and titanium. The steel actually contains 22% chromium and 1.2% molybdenum. Sufficient chromium and molybdenum are necessary to improve the pitting resistance of stainless steel. The rusting area of type 304 and Type 316 austenitic stainless steel increased significantly with the increase of the number of periodic corrosion test cycles. On the contrary, the rust area of type 444 ferritic stainless steel increased slightly during the first 600 test cycles and was saturated after longer tests.

 

Automobile industry

Type 409 or 410L stainless steel is used as a vehicle exhaust emission control system material such as front pipe, center pipe and muffler due to its excellent intergranular corrosion resistance, formability and heat resistance. In recent years, the design temperature of vehicle exhaust has increased because of the catalytic conversion rate and reduction of harmful gases such as NOx, SOx and hydrocarbon (HC) emissions. However, the increased temperature of chromium carbide will produce deposits on the silencer, i.e., temperatures of 400 ~ 500℃will lead to grain boundary corrosion. Because the weld area is particularly sensitive to intercrystalline corrosion, it is necessary to improve the corrosion resistance of Ferritic stainless steel containing 12% Cr. Therefore, a new Ferritic stainless steel was developed by adding niobium to steel containing 12% Cr. It is well known that reducing carbon and nitrogen content in steel is quite effective in preventing intercrystalline corrosion. In this way, the intercrystalline corrosion resistance can be further improved by adding niobium and titanium to steel. 409L stainless steel is used as the material for the exhaust manifold of automobiles, and the exhaust temperature is designed to be about 800℃. 430J1L stainless steel is recommended when the exhaust temperature is approximately 900℃.

 

Home appliances and kitchenware

400 series ferrite stainless steel has been widely accepted in the field of household appliances and kitchenware because of its unique aesthetic properties, corrosion resistance to cleaners and disinfectants, low thermal expansion coefficient and magnetism (suitable for electromagnetic cookers). Ferritic stainless steel greatly reduces weight compared with carbon steel. Ferritic stainless steels do not contain nickel and are far more price stable than Austenitic steels, making it easier for manufacturers to manage costs, purchase and sell. The use of ferritic stainless steel is so wide, each use of the required ferrite stainless steel performance is different. Typical applications include dishwashers, electric kettles, washing machines, dustbins, kitchen drains, ovens, gas appliances, coffee makers, microwave ovens, gas stoves, cold storage, restaurant trolleys.

 

Ferritic stainless steel is also used in transportation and other industrial applications. Because it has so many advantages over carbon steel and Austenitic stainless steel, it’s excellent formability like bending, cutting and drilling making it has a wide applications. Because there are many ferritic stainless steel grades, in order to obtain good corrosion resistance, good strength and lower price, you need to choose the right grade to meet customer requirements.

304 Stainless Steel VS 321 Stainless Steel

Both grade 304 and 321 belong to the Austenitic 300 series stainless steel. They are similar in corrosion resistance, strength, hardness and welding performance, but 321 is mostly used in the heat resistance condition of 500-600 ℃. 321H stainless steel is the low-carbon version of 321, is the commonly used heat resistant steel, of which carbon content is slightly higher than 321 grades. 304 steel is an alternative to 321 stainless steel where intergranular corrosion resistance rather than high temperature strength is required.

In a way, grade 321 stainless steel is a new version based on grade 304 by adding Ti to improve the corrosion resistance of grain boundary and high temperature strength. As a stabilizing element, Ti element control the formation of chromium carbide, effectively, making 321 has a robust high-temperature strength, even much better than 304, 316L. A larger content of nickel makes 321 stainless steel has good abrasion resistance in different concentrations and temperatures of organic acids, especially in oxidizing media. 321 stainless steel has better Stress Rupture property and Creep Resistance Stress mechanical property than 304 stainless steel. Let me show exactly is the difference between them with the two tables below.

 

Chemical Composition of 304, 321, 321H

成績 C シィ Mn Cr ニ S P N Ti
304 0.08 1.0 2.0 18.0~20.0 8.0~10.5 0.03 0.045 / /
321 0.08 1.0 2.0 17.0-19.0 9.0-12.0 0.03 0.045 0.1 5C-0.70
321H 0.04-0.1 1.0 2.0 17.0-19.0 9.0-12.0 0.03 0.045 0.1 0.16-0.7

 

Mechanical Property of 304 and 321

成績 Tensile strength, Mpa Yield strength, Mpa Elongation, % Hardness,HB
304 ≥520 205-210 ≥40≥40 HB187
321 ≥520 ≥205   HB187

 

As can be seen from the above table, 321 stainless steel contains titanium and more nickel (Ni) than 304, according to ASTM A182, the content of Ti should not be less than 5 times of carbon (C) content, but not more than 0.7%. Ti can prevent stainless steel sensitization and improve the high temperature service life, that is to say, grade 321 is more suitable for manufacturing wear-resistant acid containers, wear-resistant equipment and conveying pipes or other parts than 304 stainless steel in high-temperature environment.

304 and 321 stainless steel are both can be used for chemical, oil and gas, automotive fields. Grade 304  is general-purpose stainless steel and has the most extensive applications in the stainless steel family, such as tableware, cabinets, boilers, auto parts, medical appliances, building materials, chemicals, food industry, agriculture, shipping, oil transportation and so on. Grade 321 is used in chemical, coal and petroleum fields where required resistance to grain boundary corrosion and high temperature properties such as oil exhaust combustion pipes, engine exhaust pipes, boiler enclosures, heat exchangers, furnace components, diesel engine silencer components, boiler pressure vessels, chemical transport tanks, expansion joints, furnace pipes, etc
