The invention relates to a preparation method and application of 550 MPa-grade ultra-
fine grain high-strength weather-resistant steel and belongs to the technical field of
metallurgy. The preparation method comprises the steps that
continuous casting blanks directly enter an M rack rough rolling unit under the high pulling speed and are subjected to M-pass continuous heavy reduction (50-60%) rough rolling, and
austenite grains are greatly refined; after rough rolling, middle blanks are rapidly heated through an
induction heating furnace to the temperature needed for a finish rolling inlet, and meanwhile a reverse temperature field is formed; and then sequentially through a finish rolling set, laminar flow cooling and a reeling
machine, finally the organization characteristics that the surface and the core part are coarse, and the portion of the 1 / 4 thickness position is fine are formed. In the production process, finish rolling and rough rolling are both full-headless rolling. An ultra-
fine grain high-strength weather-resistant hot-rolling
steel belt with the
weather resistance being equivalent to corten-A is obtained, and the effects that the thin effect replaces the thick effect and the hot effect replaces the cold effect are achieved; while the weight of a car body is small, the service life of a car plate is prolonged, the production efficiency is improved, and the production cost is reduced; and meanwhile
energy consumption is reduced, emission is reduced, and resource-saving and environment-friendly production is achieved.
