Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of shape control of crack arrest steel plate, in particular to a control method for improving the shape of crack arrest steel plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] The crack arrest steel thick steel plate has high toughness and welding performance under the condition of ensuring high strength, that is, when the component has potential defects or cracks, the crack arrest steel can prevent the crack from expanding in a small range and prevent major accidents from occurring under the action of dynamic load and impact load. Since 2016, in order to fill the domestic gap and take advantage of the low-temperature large reduction and controlled cooling technology of the 5500 production line, the production of thick ship plates, bridge steels and offshore steels has been increasing. Since the crack arrest steel has been imported domestically, the 5500 production line has continuously improved the process and rolling strategy, and has successfully developed and mass-produced crack arrest steel, which has been successfully used in the world's first liquefied natural gas-powered 23000 container ship. However, in the production process, it is found that the original control means cannot meet the production needs of the crack arrest steel, and the rolled steel plate has the phenomenon of broken waves and goose head bending, which leads to the fact that the hot straightening cannot be completed. Due to the high standard requirement of the plate surface, the surface damage is large after turning to the flattening treatment, and finally the plate shape and unevenness cannot meet the requirements. The plate shape qualified rate is only 82.75%, and the steel plate scrap rate is 5.25%.

[0003] The main reasons for the low plate shape qualified rate are as follows: first, the heating system is not reasonable. Since the crack arrest steel requires low-temperature heating, the starting rolling temperature is low, and there is no specific setting for the three heating sections and the soaking section, so the uniformity of the billet temperature cannot be guaranteed. Second, the current automatic rolling is adopted, and the final pass reduction is given by the secondary computer. When rolling the steel plate, due to the unreasonable final pass reduction, the adjustment of the snowshoe ratio value loses its effect, which leads to the fact that the thick steel plate tail head hits the roller way, and the "broken wave goose head bending" defect is easily produced, which directly affects the plate shape qualified rate.

[0004] A kind of steel plate shape control method (CN201510206455.3) provides a kind of steel plate shape control method, three-level computer system according to rectangularization coefficient μ=elongation ratio / (spread width ratio-1)= (steel plate target length / billet length) / 〔(steel plate target width / billet width)-1〕Calculation formula, calculate the μ value of the slab to be rolled: secondary computer system according to μ Value selects rolling strategy, if μ≤20, 3T rolling mode of longitudinal rolling-horizontal rolling-longitudinal rolling is adopted;If μ>20, 2T rolling mode of longitudinal rolling-horizontal rolling is adopted.It can effectively improve the specification shape of steel plate, ensure the rectangular size of steel plate, reduce the head and tail narrow defects in the process of steel plate flame cutting, reduce the size of steel plate spot rate, make the spot rate caused by the head and tail narrow of steel plate reduce from 0.16% to 0.03%, thereby greatly improve the quality qualified rate of steel plate, reduce spot loss, increase enterprise economic benefit.But this patent mainly solves the problem of steel plate rectangularization, cannot solve the problem of thick specification TMCP steel plate shape.

[0005] A kind of thin specification TMCP plate shape control method of mixed edge wave and middle wave (CN201910006890.X) discloses a kind of thin specification TMCP plate shape control method of mixed edge wave and middle wave, the plate shape control method is by light, heavy two different along width direction differentiating reduction + two different plastic deformation rate reduction matching settings to control the thin specification TMCP plate shape of light middle wave big edge wave or light edge wave big middle wave, produce the thin specification TMCP plate of mixed edge wave and middle wave with good plate shape.But this patent mainly solves the problem of thin specification steel plate shape, cannot solve the problem of thick specification TMCP steel plate shape.

[0006] A kind of steel plate shape and thickness optimization control system (CN102989786A) provides a kind of steel plate shape and thickness optimization control system, it includes rolling mill primary control and is provided with rolling table for rolling mill primary control rolling mill secondary control, the rolling mill primary control includes automatic roll gap control and the data processing module connected with the automatic roll gap control, and the rolling mill primary control further includes the last pass leveling module for optimizing plate shape control and the semi-automatic roll gap module for optimizing plate thickness control connected with the automatic roll gap control and the automatic roll gap control compensation amount adjustment and amplitude limiting control intervention module for automatic roll gap control weight and amplitude limiting value.This application technical scheme, under the premise of guaranteeing thickness precision, the shape of thick specification steel plate is improved, especially the problem of small broken wave is greatly improved;At the same time, subsequent leveling and cold straightening process is reduced, process cost is saved, and economic benefit is considerable;And reduce the quality objection caused by flatness, improve the cognition of customer.The low-temperature rolling thick steel plate shape problem cannot be completely solved in this patent, steel plate climbing phenomenon often occurs, leveling force is too small to effectively solve the problem of large water TMCP crack arrest steel plate shape, and too large leveling force will lead to steel plate rolling thin problem.

[0007] Therefore, there is a need for a method capable of effectively solving the plate shape problem of low-temperature steel plates such as TMCP super-wide crack arrest steel and the like. SUMMARY
