AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

It is difficult to achieve the coexistence of high magnetic induction and low iron loss in non-oriented silicon steel using traditional processes, mainly because the thick ingot thickness causes texture destruction and difficulty in retaining the structure.

Method used

The low-silicon and aluminum-free design allows hot-rolled thin substrates to be directly obtained through strip casting and rolling. Combined with precise control of the hot rolling-cold rolling-annealing process, continuous casting and heating of the ingot are eliminated, reducing the hot rolling reduction. By precisely controlling the hot rolling reduction rate and final rolling temperature, high-temperature ferrite zone rolling and complete recrystallization are achieved.

Benefits of technology

The non-oriented silicon steel with a thickness of 0.20 to 0.35 mm was obtained, with an iron loss P1.5/50 ≤ 4.5 W/kg and a magnetic induction B5000 ≥ 1.78 T, achieving the coexistence of low iron loss and high magnetic induction, and the process is more energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of thin strip casting and rolling, and relates to a method for producing high magnetic induction and low iron loss non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting and rolling. Background Art

[0002] Non-oriented silicon steel, an important soft magnetic material, is primarily used in the manufacture of iron cores for various motors. In 2023, my country's non-oriented silicon steel production reached 12.066 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 1.133 million tons, or 10%, maintaining its position as the world's largest producer and consumer of cold-rolled silicon steel. Of this total, low-silicon non-oriented silicon steel production reached 8.35 million tons, accounting for 69% of all non-oriented silicon steel. Therefore, improving the magnetic properties of low-silicon non-oriented silicon steel can effectively improve motor efficiency, reduce energy consumption, and protect the environment.

[0003] The magnetic properties of non-oriented silicon steel primarily consist of iron loss and magnetic induction. Reducing iron loss can lower motor energy consumption and improve energy conversion efficiency. Improving magnetic induction increases the core's power density, improving operating efficiency. It also reduces the excitation current, lowering copper loss and iron loss, and also helps reduce the core's volume, saving material. The magnetic properties of non-oriented silicon steel directly impact the motor's energy efficiency rating, practicality, and reliability, making improving the steel's magnetic properties particularly important.

[0004] To improve the energy efficiency of motors, non-oriented silicon steel is required to have lower iron loss and higher magnetic induction. The {100} orientation is the most ideal texture type. Because {100}<0vw> is the preferred orientation during the solidification process, it is usually present in large quantities in continuous casting billets. When preparing non-oriented silicon steel through traditional processes, due to the thick billet thickness, hot rolling and cold rolling with a high compression ratio, the α and γ components in the non-oriented silicon steel texture are significantly increased, including {111} <110> 、{111} <112> 、{112} <100> components, forming a stable texture. As a result, the as-cast structure and texture are difficult to retain, and the inheritance of the solidified structure and {100}<0vw> texture is minimized. When preparing non-oriented silicon steel through traditional processes, the structure, texture and magnetic properties of non-oriented silicon steel are regulated by controlling the chemical composition, rolling process and annealing parameters. However, the overall effect is manifested as a reduction in the unfavorable α and γ components in the texture, which cannot change the fact that the solidification texture is severely damaged due to high reduction rate rolling. In fact, traditional processes are essentially unable to achieve the coexistence of high magnetic induction and low iron loss, and can only be adjusted to a limited extent. This is also the fundamental reason why the higher the grade of traditional processes (representing lower iron loss), the lower the magnetic induction. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues with conventional non-oriented silicon steel production processes, the present invention provides a high-magnetic-induction, low-iron-loss non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting and a production method thereof. This process utilizes a low-silicon, aluminum-free design to directly produce a hot-rolled thin base plate through thin strip casting, eliminating the need for continuous casting and heating of the ingot and significantly reducing hot-rolling reduction. Combined with precise control of the hot-rolling, cold-rolling, and annealing processes, the resulting non-oriented silicon steel has a thickness of 0.20-0.35 mm and exhibits both low iron loss and high magnetic induction.

[0048] (2) Strip casting:

[0049] The twin-roll casting process is used for continuous casting. The starting pouring temperature of the molten steel is controlled at 1580-1590°C. The molten steel is poured through a tundish into a molten pool consisting of rotating steel rolls and side sealing plates. The molten steel rapidly solidifies and forms after contacting the crystallization roll surface of the steel rolls, resulting in a cast strip with a thickness of 2.00±0.20mm. The continuous casting speed is 60-70m / min.

[0050] The cast strip enters the rolling mill through the hot box under the protection of inert gas and is hot rolled into a hot-rolled thin strip with a thickness of 1.60±0.10mm at a reduction rate of 20% in one pass. The final rolling temperature is controlled at T:

[0051] T = (Ar1-30) ~ (Ar1-10) ° C, where Ar1 is the γ / α phase transition temperature, unit: ° C;

[0055] [Si], [Mn], and [Al] in the formula are the mass percentages of Si, Mn, and Al, respectively.

[0056] (3) Acid continuous rolling

[0057] The hot rolled coil obtained by strip casting is pickled and then rolled in five stands to obtain a chilled coil with a thickness of 0.20 to 0.35 mm.

[0059] (4) Complete recrystallization annealing + coating + finishing

[0060] The chilled coil is subjected to complete recrystallization annealing in a 25% H2+75% N2 atmosphere at a temperature of 850-950°C and maintained at this temperature for 60-90 seconds to control the steel plate to complete full recrystallization and an average recrystallized grain size of 50-80 μm. The annealed steel strip is cooled, coated and finished to obtain non-oriented silicon steel.

[0061] According to the method for producing high magnetic induction and low iron loss non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting and rolling of the present invention, preferably, in step 1), the qualified molten steel composition is as follows by mass percentage:

[0062] C≤0.0030%, S≤0.0030%, Si: 0.50~0.70%, Mn: 0.20~0.40%,

[0063] P≤0.03%, Al: ≤0.003%, Nb≤0.003%, V≤0.003%, Ti≤0.003%,

[0064] Cr≤0.02%, Ni≤0.02%, Cu≤0.02%, N≤0.0020%, the rest is Fe and inevitable inclusions.

[0065] According to the method for producing high magnetic induction and low iron loss non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting and rolling of the present invention, preferably, in step 2), the thickness of the cast strip is 1.8-2.0 mm, and the continuous casting speed is 65-70 m / min.

[0066] According to the method for producing high magnetic induction and low iron loss non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting and rolling of the present invention, preferably, in step 3), the first pass reduction rate of the acid continuous rolling is 33%, and the last pass reduction rate is 25%.

[0067] According to the method for producing high magnetic induction and low iron loss non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting and rolling of the present invention, preferably, in step 4), the annealing temperature is 900-950° C. and the holding time is 80-90 seconds.

[0068] The role of each element in the present invention is analyzed as follows:

[0069] C, S, N: C, S, and N are harmful elements in non-oriented silicon steel, which lead to increased iron loss and reduced magnetic induction. In order to meet the requirements of low iron loss and high magnetic induction of the non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip casting, C≤0.0030%, S≤0.0030%, and N≤0.0020%;

[0070] Si, Al, Mn: Si and Al can increase the resistivity of the steel plate and thus reduce the iron loss of non-oriented silicon steel; Mn forms MnS with S, which affects grain growth but avoids the formation of low-melting-point FeS at the grain boundaries to avoid hot brittleness. Therefore, when preparing non-oriented silicon steel in the traditional process, the Si+Al+Mn design is adopted. However, in the thin strip casting and rolling process of the present invention, the Al2O3 inclusions formed by Al during the steelmaking process will gradually accumulate and form nodules on the side sealing plates of the molten pool. Once the nodules are washed down by the steel flow and enter the casting rollers, it will cause the continuous casting strip to break. Therefore, the present invention strictly controls Al≤0.003%; Si can reduce the iron loss of non-oriented silicon steel, but it will also reduce the magnetic induction. Taking into account that the finished product has both low iron loss and high magnetic induction, as well as rollability, the Si content is controlled between 0.40 and 0.80%, and the Mn content is controlled between 0.20 and 0.60%.

[0071] Nb, V, Ti, Cr, Ni, Cu: Nb, V, Ti, Cr, Ni, and Cu in non-oriented silicon steel will increase iron loss and reduce magnetic induction. Therefore, control Nb≤0.003%, V≤0.003%, Ti≤0.003%, Cr≤0.02%, Ni≤0.02%, and Cu≤0.02%;

[0072] Phosphorus (P) is a residual element that, in conventional processes, can segregate in the core of the ingot, affecting rollability and microstructure uniformity in the finished product. Therefore, P is typically controlled to 0.015% or less, significantly increasing steelmaking costs. However, in the thin strip casting and rolling process of the present invention, P does not segregate due to the high cooling rate of the strip at 1000°C / s. Therefore, the present invention relaxes the P control standard to 0.03% or less, reducing steelmaking costs.

[0073] The core of the present invention is to achieve low silicon content non-oriented silicon steel while meeting the requirements of low iron loss and high magnetic induction through the design of casting and rolling process, acid continuous rolling and annealing process, with the help of means such as organization, texture and resistivity control.

[0074] Beneficial technical effects

[0075] Compared with the prior art, the technical concept and corresponding technical solutions of the present invention can at least achieve the following beneficial technical effects:

[0076] (1) The molten steel is directly cast into a strip with a thickness of 2.00±0.20 mm by two rotating steel rollers. Compared with the conventional process using 220 mm ingot, the subsequent hot rolling and cold rolling reduction is greatly reduced, and the high reduction ratio hot rolling + cold rolling is avoided, which causes a significant increase in the α and γ components in the non-oriented silicon steel texture, including {111} <110> 、{111} <112> 、{112} <100> components; thereby increasing the proportion of the ideal {100}<0vw> texture and improving the magnetic induction of the finished product.

[0077] (2) Hot-rolled coils with a thickness of 1.60±0.10 mm are directly obtained by thin strip casting. Compared with the traditional process of rolling low-silicon non-oriented silicon steel from hot-rolled coils with a thickness of 2.50-2.75 mm to cold-rolled coils with a thickness of 0.50 mm, cold-rolled coils with a thickness of 0.20-0.35 mm can be directly obtained by five-stand continuous rolling, creating conditions for significantly reducing iron loss in the finished product.

[0078] (3) By precisely controlling the hot rolling reduction rate and final rolling temperature, the reduction rate is 20%, and the final rolling temperature T = (Ar1-30) ~ (Ar1-10) ° C, hot rolling is completed in the high-temperature ferrite region. Grain refinement caused by post-rolling phase transformation is avoided. At the same time, with the help of high-temperature coiling and annealing processes, the finished steel plate is controlled to undergo complete recrystallization, with a grain size of 50 to 80 μm; the finished non-oriented silicon steel product with a thickness of 0.20 to 0.35 mm has an iron loss P 1.5 / 50 3.3~4.5W / kg, magnetic induction B 5000 It is 1.78~1.81T.

[0079] (4) The present invention adopts a twin-roller thin strip continuous casting method, which omits hot rolling heating, hot rolling rough rolling, normalizing and other processes compared with conventional processes. It is an energy-saving and environmentally friendly short-process production technology. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
