Abstract:
The following tube and method are provided: a high-tensile strength welded steel tube having excellent formability and torsional fatigue endurance after being formed into cross-sectional shape and then stress-relief annealed and a method of producing the tube. A steel material used has a composition which contains C, Si, Al, 1.01% to 1.99% Mn, 0.041% to 0.150% Ti, 0.017% to 0.150% Nb, P, S, N, and O such that the sum of the content of Ti and that of Nb is 0.08% or more, the content of each of C, Si, and Al being within an appropriate range, the content of each of P, S, N, and O being adjusted to a predetermined value or less. The steel material is subjected to a hot-rolling step in which the heating temperature and finish-rolling final temperature of the steel material are each within an appropriate range, is slow cooled at a temperature of 650°C to 750°C for 2 s or more, and is then coiled at a temperature of 510°C to 660°C, whereby a hot-rolled steel strip is obtained. The hot-rolled steel strip has a microstructure containing 60 volume percent or more of a ferrite phase which has an average grain size of 2 µm to 8 µm and which contains a precipitate of a (Nb, Ti) composite carbide having an average grain size of 2 nm to 40 nm. The hot-rolled steel strip is subjected to an electrically welded tube-making step in which the width reduction of the strip is 10% or less, whereby a welded steel tube is obtained. This allows the high-tensile strength welded steel tube to have a large yield strength of greater than 660 MPa, excellent low-temperature toughness, excellent formability, and excellent torsional fatigue endurance after being stress-relief annealed.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an electric resistance welded steel pipe which has excellent HIC (hydrogen induced cracking) resistance and low-temperature toughness in an electric resistance welded part and has a tensile strength of 434 MPa or more, and to provide a method for manufacturing the electric resistance welded steel pipe.SOLUTION: In the electric resistance welded steel pipe, the total amount of Si, Mn, Al, Ca and Cr included in inclusions present in an electric resistance welded part and having a circle-equivalent diameter of 20 μm or more is 20 ppm or less by mass%. The electric resistance welded steel pipe contains predetermined amounts of C, Si, Mn, Al, or further contains Ca and Cr. The above conditions can be achieved by electric resistance welding in an atmosphere in which an oxygen content is adjusted to (1,000/foxy) ppm or less (where foxy is defined by foxy=Mn+10(Si+Cr)+100Al+1,000Ca); or achieved by roll-forming a steel strip to impart a groove having a tapered part at the end of the strip from the inner surface of the pipe or from the outer surface of the pipe to a position corresponding to 10 to 60% of the pipe thickness in the thickness direction, the tapered part having an inclination average angle satisfying from 10×log(foxy) to 40×log(foxy); or achieved by combining the both processes.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a means which can improve the fatigue strength of an ear portion that is a fatigue high-risk portion of a torsion beam substantially without causing a disadvantage in terms of productivity and cost. SOLUTION: In molding a pipe body 1 to form a torsion beam, a part of the pipe body is squashed in a radial direction to form the cross section of a substantially U shape. A tensile-side bending strain of 2 to 6% is applied to an ear portion 2 in the longitudinal direction of the pipe by bending a bottom line 3 so as to become a belly side. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve a problem that it is difficult to obtain a formed article of deformed cross-section with high dimensional accuracy excellent in spot weldability in a conventional technology for forming deformed cross-section. SOLUTION: Crushing work is carried out on a tubular material 10 with a tensile strength (TS) of ≥590 MPa by a die of deformed cross-section having at least one flat part A1 on the surface thereof in a state that inner pressure is not loaded or in a state that an inner pressure of ≤50 MPa is loaded on it by liquid. Subsequently an inner pressure with a maximum inner pressure of ≥P min [MPa] is loaded by the liquid to form the tubular material into a deformed cross-section shape, wherein P min =0.045×TS.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improvement method, whereas, in a butt-welded steel tube manufactured by a conventional technology, a joint planar state or a crack prevention effect during flare processing is insufficient yet.SOLUTION: A slit steel strip is heated by a heater, then heated by an induction heating apparatus, and further just before a steel strip width end is pressure-welded and forge-welded, a mixture gas formed by mixing oxygen and air and having an oxygen concentration of 22-30% near the steel strip end is sprayed onto the steel strip end. Thereafter, each steel strip width end is allowed to butt each other, and forge welding is applied thereto so that a length 12 in the joint thickness direction becomes longer than a tube thickness 13.
