Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of iron and steel metallurgy, and specifically to a method for producing thick zinc-coated, high-surface hot-dip galvanized extra-deep-drawn steel sheets for automotive exterior panels. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern automotive technology, my country has become the world's largest automobile producer and consumer, and the demand for cold-rolled automotive steel sheets is increasing both domestically and internationally. Hot-dip galvanized steel sheets are widely used in automobile bodies due to their beautiful appearance, uniform coating, good mechanical properties, and excellent paintability. The production process of hot-dip galvanized outer sheets is very complex, placing high demands on equipment, hot-dip galvanizing processes, and overall production management. With continuous advancements in production technology, automobile companies have increasingly higher requirements for the surface quality and corrosion resistance of automotive outer sheets supplied by steel companies, leading to a growing demand for thicker zinc-coated outer sheets. Thicker zinc layers offer better corrosion resistance; when electrochemical corrosion occurs, the zinc coating acts as the anode, protecting the iron substrate, which acts as the cathode. Therefore, the thicker the coating, the longer its service life. However, issues such as uneven zinc layer weight control, thick edges, and small black spots on the surface of thick-zinc hot-dip galvanized products affect their market promotion. In particular, the small black spots on the surface after hot-dip galvanizing affect subsequent stamping and painting. Unresolved point defects cannot meet customer requirements, posing increasingly higher challenges to the actual production control of automotive outer sheets. The ability to consistently produce hot-dip galvanized automotive exterior panels that combine excellent surface quality and corrosion resistance is of practical significance for market promotion and corporate competitiveness.

[0003] By searching domestic and foreign literature resources, a total of 11 articles related to this research project were found. Among the publicly published articles searched, there are two reports on thick zinc layer high surface hot-dip galvanized automotive outer panels.

The resulting steel sheet has a high surface-area-thick zinc layer and good formability, which meets the complex forming and high surface requirements of automotive outer panels. After coating, the surface is free of point defects and has an excellent surface finish.

The specific process includes hot metal desulfurization, converter smelting, RH vacuum treatment, continuous casting, hot rolling, pickling, cold rolling, and hot-dip galvanizing. The specific steps are as follows:

After the slab enters the furnace, the first heating temperature of the slab is controlled to be ≤1050℃, the excess air coefficient is -8~-12%, the second heating temperature is ≤1150℃, and the slab exiting the furnace temperature range is 1220-1280℃. The speed of the roughing descaling mill is controlled at 0.7-0.8m / min to improve the descaling effect. Then, after primary rolling and final rolling, the slab is coiled.

[0009] Pickling and rolling process: The pickling speed is controlled at 160-270mpm, and 5 passes are rolled using a cold continuous rolling mill with a reduction rate of 81-93%.

[0010] Hot-dip galvanizing process: The temperature of the P6 plate in the hot-dip galvanizing unit is controlled at 463-467℃, the temperature of the zinc bath is controlled at 458-462℃, the dew point of the furnace nose is -5-10℃, and the zinc layer on the upper / lower surfaces is 60-63g / m². 2 .

[0011] According to the above scheme, starting from the desulfurization of molten iron, after smelting in a converter, the molten steel is subjected to vacuum treatment, and then the steel billet is continuously cast.

[0012] According to the above scheme, in the hot rolling process, the initial rolling temperature is controlled at 1030-1090℃, the Ar3 point of Ti-IF steel is generally around 900℃, the final rolling temperature is controlled at 900-940℃ to avoid rolling in the two-phase region, and the coiling temperature is controlled at 660-700℃.

Among them, P6, P2, and P3 are all conventional process parameters for hot-dip galvanizing; the P6 plate temperature refers to the plate temperature before entering the zinc pot after annealing; the P2 and P3 plate temperatures refer to the annealing homogenization temperature.

[0014] According to the above scheme, in the hot-dip galvanizing process, the aluminum content of the zinc liquid in the zinc pot is 0.25-0.3%.

The result is a steel for producing high-surface-weight hot-dip galvanized automotive exterior panels. This steel possesses a high surface-weight zinc layer and excellent formability, meeting the complex forming requirements and high surface finish of automotive exterior panels. After coating, the surface is free of point defects and exhibits excellent surface quality. The process is simple, requires no additional investment in equipment upgrades, and is easy for industrial application. Attached Figure Description

[0069] The chemical composition by weight percentage is: C: 0.035%, Si: 0.005%, Mn: 0.23%, P: 0.008%, S: 0.005%, Als: 0.025%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The specific implementation process begins with desulfurization of the molten iron. After converter smelting, the molten steel undergoes vacuum treatment, followed by continuous casting into steel billets. Without machine cleaning, the continuously cast billets are hot-rolled into steel strips. The hot-rolled steel strips are then pickled, and under a reduction rate of 91%, they are cold-rolled using a five-stand continuous rolling mill. After ordinary hot-dip galvanizing, they are finished to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet with a thickness of 0.8 mm. Testing revealed that its grain size was grade 10, yield strength was 175 MPa, tensile strength was 312 MPa, elongation was 39.3%, average R value was 1.9, N90 value was 0.20, zinc layer on the upper / lower surfaces was 60 g / m2, and there were numerous small black spots on the surface. Both the surface and performance did not meet the requirements.

[0071] The chemical composition by weight percentage is: C: 0.0027%, Si: 0.005%, Mn: 0.15%, P: 0.008%, S: 0.005%, Als: 0.03%, Ti: 0.05%, N: 0.0026%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities. The specific implementation process begins with desulfurization of the molten iron. After converter smelting, the molten steel undergoes vacuum treatment, followed by continuous casting into steel billets. Without machine cleaning, the continuously cast billets are hot-rolled into steel strips. The hot-rolled steel strips are then pickled, and under a reduction rate of 80%, they are cold-rolled using a five-stand continuous rolling mill. After ordinary hot-dip galvanizing, they are finished to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet with a thickness of 0.8 mm. Tests showed that its grain size was grade 9, yield strength was 148 MPa, tensile strength was 298 MPa, elongation was 44.3%, average R value was 2.3, N90 value was 0.22, and the zinc layer on the upper / lower surfaces was 61 g / m2, which met the performance requirements. However, the surface had a large number of small black spots, which did not meet the requirements for the outer panel.
