Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel plates for automobile beams, and in particular to a 510MPa-grade green clean surface steel plate for automobile beams and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The automobile frame is a frame structure that spans the front and rear axles of the automobile and is the base of the automobile. It is generally composed of two longitudinal beams and several cross beams, and is supported on the wheels through the suspension device, the front axle, and the rear axle. The frame must have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the load of the automobile and the impact from the wheels. The function of the frame is to support and connect the various assemblies of the automobile, so that each assembly maintains a relatively correct position and withstands various loads inside and outside the automobile. As an important component of the automobile, the lightweight and environmentally friendly manufacturing process of the automobile frame has become a new development trend.

[0003] However, the current production process of automobile beams usually uses pickling technology to remove the iron oxide scale on the surface of the steel plate before forming the beam components, but the pickling process has defects such as large acid mist pollution, high cost of waste acid treatment, uneven descaling, and large substrate loss. Alternatively, the method of adding Cr elements is used to obtain dense Fe3O4 iron scale on the surface of the steel plate, which can be directly used in the stamping and rolling process of the beam, but the iron oxide scale occasionally falls off, affecting production and the cost is high.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop high-surface quality steel plates with excellent processing performance, environmental protection, corrosion resistance and low cost, which has attracted great attention and concern from domestic and foreign steel manufacturers. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a 510MPa grade green clean surface steel plate for automobile beams and a manufacturing method, which has excellent processing performance and corrosion resistance, and has the characteristics of high surface quality, zero pollution and low cost.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A 510MPa green clean surface steel plate for automobile beams, with a tensile strength of 510MPa or above and a surface cleanliness of 3.0, is composed of the following chemical components in percentage by weight:

[0008] C: 0.06%~0.08%, Si: 0.05%~0.15%, Mn: 1.40%~1.55%, Als: 0.015%~0.045%, Nb: 0.015%~0.030%, Ti: 0.015%~0.030%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.010%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0009] Furthermore, the yield strength of the steel plate is higher than 355 MPa, and the elongation A is ≥ 26%.

[0010] Furthermore, the roughness of the steel plate is less than 2.5 μm.

[0011] Furthermore, the final structure of the steel plate is ferrite and pearlite, with ferrite accounting for 90%.

[0012] A method for manufacturing a 510MPa grade green clean surface steel plate for an automobile beam, the manufacturing method specifically comprising the following steps:

[0013] 1) Heating process:

[0014] The continuous casting slab is heated to 1200-1250°C in a heating furnace and kept warm for 1-2 hours;

[0015] 2) Rolling process:

[0016] The starting temperature of finishing rolling is 1010~1070℃, and the final rolling temperature is 850~890℃;

[0017] 3) Cooling process:

[0018] After final rolling, the front-stage cooling method is adopted, and the coiling temperature is 560-600℃;

[0019] 4) Wet sandblasting descaling process:

[0020] The sandblasting descaling treatment temperature of steel coil is less than 60℃, the steel plate travel speed in the process section is 30-50m / min, the steel grit mesh number is 30-50, the steel grit hardness is HRC55-60, the sandblasting motor speed is 1800-2200rpm, and the medium is water-based rust inhibitor.

[0021] Furthermore, in the step 2), the thickness of the finished product is 2 to 12 mm.

[0022] Furthermore, in the step 4), straightening is performed after uncoiling.

[0023] Furthermore, in the step 4), the hardness of the steel sand is HRC57.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. Based on the C-Mn steel composition, a low-silicon, low-carbon, composite Nb and Ti component system is adopted. The hot rolling process is controlled by using the principles of solid solution strengthening and fine grain strengthening. The surface is wet-blasted for descaling to obtain a green and clean surface steel plate for automobile structure with a tensile strength of 510MPa or above and an elongation of A ≥ 26%.

[0026] 2. Conventional pickling processes are strong acids with high pollution, which will produce a lot of pollution during the pickling process, posing a threat to the environment and the health of operators. The wet sandblasting descaling process of the present invention uses a physical method to remove iron scale. Compared with chemical pickling, there is no waste acid discharge, and it has the advantages of being clean and pollution-free.

[0027] 3. Compared with the pickling process, the process of removing iron oxide scale from the surface of the steel plate produced by the present invention can process steel plates with a thickness exceeding 6 mm, thereby expanding the product range.

[0028] 4. Compared with the pickling products, the products produced by the present invention can be adjusted according to the requirements of users by adjusting the steel sand particle size and adjusting the steel plates with different surface roughness, so as to better match the requirements of subsequent processing procedures for the surface quality of the steel plates.

[0029] 5. In the process of wet sandblasting descaling in the present invention, the medium is a water-based rust inhibitor, and the sandblasting liquid has an anti-corrosion function, which can ensure that the steel plate will not rust when stored for 180 days without oiling.

[0030] 6. The traditional pickling process requires the treatment of waste acid. The steel sand in the wet sandblasting descaling process of the present invention can be recycled. Compared with the traditional pickling process, the present invention reduces production costs and reduces the generation of process waste.

[0031] In summary, the steel plate of the present invention has excellent comprehensive performance, yield strength ≥355MPa, tensile strength ≥510MPa, elongation ≥26%, roughness less than 2.5μm, surface cleanliness reaching level 3.0, and good formability. It can be applied to the manufacture of automobile beam parts, with obvious weight reduction effect, and can remain rust-free for 180 days without using anti-rust oil. Moreover, the manufacturing method of the present invention has the characteristics of zero pollution, low cost, and green and clean. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention discloses a 510MPa grade green clean surface steel plate for automobile beams and a method for manufacturing the same. Those skilled in the art can refer to the content of this article and appropriately improve the process parameters to achieve the same. It should be particularly noted that all similar substitutions and modifications are obvious to those skilled in the art and are considered to be included in the present invention. The method and application of the present invention have been described through preferred embodiments, and relevant personnel can obviously modify or appropriately change and combine the method and application described herein without departing from the content, spirit and scope of the present invention to implement and apply the technology of the present invention.

[0033] A 510MPa green clean surface steel plate for automobile beams, with a tensile strength of 510MPa or above and a surface cleanliness of 3.0 or above, is composed of the following chemical components in percentage by weight:

[0034] C: 0.06%~0.08%, Si: 0.05%~0.15%, Mn: 1.40%~1.55%, Als: 0.015%~0.045%, Nb: 0.015%~0.030%, Ti: 0.015%~0.030%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.010%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0035] Based on the cost and comprehensive performance of the steel plate, the components and main functions of the steel plate in the present invention are:

[0036] C: It is a strong solid solution strengthening element, which can significantly improve the strength of steel. If the C content in steel is too low, the content of other elements that increase the strength of the steel plate will increase accordingly, which is not conducive to reducing the cost of the steel plate. If the C content is too high, the strength of the steel plate will increase, but the elongation will decrease, which is not conducive to the forming of the steel plate. Taking comprehensive considerations, the C content in steel is limited to between 0.06% and 0.08%.

[0037] Si: replaces solid solution alloy elements, promotes C enrichment in austenite and increases the stability of austenite. At the same time, it can play a deoxidation role and reduce impurities in steel. Too low Si content is not conducive to deoxidation and increasing the stability of austenite. Too high Si content will reduce the surface quality of the steel plate. Therefore, the present invention limits the content of Si element in steel to 0.05% to 0.15%.

[0038] Mn: Improves the hardenability of steel plates and helps obtain martensite structure under controlled cooling rate. Too low content has little effect, while too high content increases production cost. Therefore, its content is limited to 1.40% to 1.55%

[0039] S, P: harmful elements, the lower the content, the better. Too low content will increase production cost. Under the premise of not affecting the performance of steel plate, the content is limited to p≤0.020%, S≤0.010%.

[0040] Nb: Niobium can refine ferrite grains. At the same time, niobium combines with carbon and nitrogen to form small carbonitrides, which can also delay recrystallization, prevent austenite grain growth, and have a significant precipitation strengthening effect. However, too high a niobium content will have an adverse effect on ferrite phase transformation, so the optimal range of niobium content in the present invention is Nb: 0.015% to 0.030%.

[0041] Ti: Titanium has the effects of precipitation strengthening, fine grain strengthening and inhibiting austenite recrystallization. Adding niobium and titanium elements in steel can effectively increase the precipitation of carbonitrides and significantly improve the strength and cold forming performance of the steel plate through precipitation strengthening. The optimal range of titanium content in the present invention is between 0.015% and 0.030%.

[0042] Als: Aluminum is a deoxidizing element in steel, which reduces oxide inclusions in steel, purifies steel, and is beneficial to improving the formability of steel plates. At the same time, aluminum can form AlN precipitation, which plays a certain role in grain refinement. The optimal range of aluminum is between 0.015 and 0.045%.

[0043] The present invention adopts the above chemical composition to produce a green and clean surface automobile structural steel plate through smelting, hot rolling and wet sandblasting descaling treatment processes. The specific manufacturing method includes the following steps:

[0044] (1) Heating process: The continuous casting slab is heated to 1200-1250°C in a heating furnace and kept warm for 1-2 hours to allow the alloy elements in the slab to be completely dissolved and the composition of the slab to be uniform.

[0045] (2) Rolling process: controlled rolling is adopted, the starting temperature of finishing rolling is 1010-1070℃, the final rolling temperature is 850-890℃, and the finished product thickness is 2-12mm.

[0046] (3) Cooling process: After final rolling, the front-end cooling method is adopted, and the coiling temperature is 560-600℃.

[0047] (4) Wet sandblasting descaling process: The sandblasting descaling temperature of the steel coil is less than 60°C, and the coil is straightened after unwinding. The steel plate travel speed in the process section is 30-50 m / min, the steel grit number is 30-50, the hardness is HRC57, and the sandblasting motor speed is 1800-2200 rpm.
