A study on the application of steel manufactured TMCP with Nb-microalloyed on commercial ships and offshore platforms

Niobium Bearing Structural Steels

2010
Huh, Man-joo
DSME has applied Nb-steel made by Thermo-Mechanical Control Process (TMCP) on commercial ships and offshore structures widely. Especially, by adding the Nb to EH40, steel for thick plate applied on torsion box in container ship, E grade steel for LNGC and API 2W Gr50 for offshore structures required CTOD property, DSME could attain good weldability and the resistance for crack with Nb-microalloyed steel plates.

Direct observation of niobium segregation to dislocations in steel
The Charles Hatchett Award is important to identify new applications and markets for Niobium. Introduced over 40 years ago, the Charles Hatchett Award is sponsored by CBMM Niobium and recognizes the best published research on the science and technology of Niobium. The annual award brings together technical experts from around the world and the winning paper is selected by a panel of international experts. The 2017 Charles Hatchett Award winners video presentation shows the acknowledgment of the various questions and uncertainties regarding the alloying elements during the direct observation of Niobium segregation to dislocations in steel. This paper aims to clarify these issues using atomic scale characterization and niobium as the alloying element in steel for grain refinement through the retardation of recrystallization in the hot rolling process and the cold rolling annealing process of the steel materials.

How much niobium can I use?
The amount of Niobium we can practically use during the hot rolling of steel products is mainly dependent on the carbon and nitrogen contents of the steel and the furnace reheating and drop-out temperature of the cast product prior to rolling.
