The invention relates to the technical field of
ferrous metallurgy, and discloses
welding wire steel for maritime work equipment and a
smelting method.The
smelting method comprises the steps that an
ingot mold and a heat preservation riser are prepared, and
drying and heat preservation are conducted in a
heating furnace; the method comprises the following steps: preparing materials according to the chemical components of the
welding wire steel,
polishing the surface, sequentially charging in a
smelting furnace, carrying out vacuum induction smelting, starting to carry out
power transmission smelting when the vacuum degree is less than or equal to 10Pa, sequentially adding carbon blocks,
metal silicon and aluminum in batches when the vacuum degree is less than or equal to 5Pa, filling
argon, adding
ferrotitanium,
metal manganese and
metal boron, finally adding
rare earth zirconium, regulating the temperature to 1590-1620 DEG C, and tapping,
casting in a steel
ingot mold; and carrying out heat treatment on the blank to obtain the
welding wire steel cast
ingot. By adding trace Ti, B and
rare earth alloy elements, a
bainite structure is obtained in a wide cooling range while grain structures in the steel are refined and inclusions are modified, the
toughness of a welding seam is improved, the low-
oxygen and low-
nitrogen steel for the welding wire is prepared by adopting a vacuum induction process, and the problem of
cracking in the cold drawing process of the welding wire steel is solved.
