Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a type of steel and its preparation method, and more particularly to a cable wire rod, steel wire and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As bridges develop towards ultra-long spans, the requirements for bridge construction are also increasing. The research and application of higher-strength hot-dip galvanized steel wire has become a development trend for bridge cable wires. For example, in suspension bridges... Hot-dip galvanized steel wire requires a tensile strength of 2160 MPa for use in cable-stayed bridges. The tensile strength requirement for hot-dip galvanized steel wire is 2100MPa or even higher.

[0003] Therefore, achieving ultra-high strength with limited cold drawing deformation is becoming the future development trend for steel wires used in bridge cables. For example:

[0004] Chinese patent document CN110066963A, published on July 30, 2019, entitled "A 2000MPa Grade Galvanized Steel Wire for Bridge Cables and Its Manufacturing Method," discloses a 2000MPa grade galvanized steel wire for bridge cables and its manufacturing method. The chemical composition of the steel wire is: C = 0.88-0.94%, Si = 1.05-1.35%, Mn = 0.40-0.50%, Cr = 0.25-0.35%, Cu ≤ 0.07%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities. It also includes any one or more of B = 0.0005-0.0015%, Nb = 0.01-0.03%, and Mo = 0.01-0.03%. The produced galvanized steel wire can achieve a tensile strength of over 2000MPa and a torsion value of not less than 18 turns.

[0005] The publication number is CN112458356A, the publication date is March 9, 2021, and the title is "A galvanized steel wire for 1860MPa grade bridge cables". "Wire Rod and Preparation Method" discloses a galvanized steel wire for bridge cables with a strength of 1860MPa. The wire rod and its preparation method are described. The chemical composition of the steel wire is as follows: C = 0.84-0.88%, Si = 0.15-0.25%, Mn = 0.65-0.80%, Cr = 0.35-0.45%, P ≤ 0.015%, S ≤ 0.010%, Al ≤ 0.005%. After drawing and galvanizing, the finished steel wire has a strength higher than 1860MPa, a torsion value ≥ 17 times, and the core network cementite level can be guaranteed to be ≤ 1.0 grade, the decarburization depth can be guaranteed to be ≤ 0.7%D, the sorbitization rate can reach more than 95%, and the pearlite lamellar spacing can be guaranteed to be 100-150nm. Summary of the Invention

[0006] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod. This high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod achieves precise control of the material's microstructure and properties through optimized design of chemical composition and thorough study of the content ratio of key elements C, Mn, Cr, Mo, Ni, and Cu on the sorbitic phase transformation temperature, phase transformation time, and microstructure properties. It also has significant advantages in fatigue resistance and relaxation resistance.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod, which contains Fe and unavoidable impurities, and also contains the following chemical elements in the following mass percentages:

[0008] C: 0.70~1.10wt.%, Si: 0.30~2.00wt.%, Mn: 0.30~0.90wt.%, Cr: 0.30~0.90wt.%, Mo: 0.01 to 0.30wt.%, Ni: 0.01 to 0.30wt.%, Cu: 0.01 to 0.50wt.%, Al: 0.01 to 0.20wt.%.

[0009] The chemical elements also satisfy the following condition: 1.56≤[C]+0.8[Mn]+[Cr]+0.7[Mo]+1.1[Ni]+0.5[Cu]≤2.03, where [C], [Mn], [Cr], [Mo], [Ni], and [Cu] are respectively substituted with the values ​​before the mass percentage sign of each chemical element.

[0010] Furthermore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the mass percentage content of each chemical element is as follows:

[0011] C: 0.70–1.10 wt.%, Si: 0.30–2.00 wt.%, Mn: 0.30–0.90 wt.%, Cr: 0.30–0.90 wt.%, Mo: 0.01–0.30 wt.%, Ni: 0.01–0.30 wt.%, Cu: 0.01–0.50 wt.%, Al: 0.01–0.20 wt.%; balance Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0012] In this invention, considering the influence of the composite addition of C, Mn, Cr, Mo, Ni, and Cu on the sorbite phase transformation during the rolling and cooling process of wire rod, by controlling 1.56≤[C]+0.8[Mn]+[Cr]+0.7[Mo]+1.1[Ni]+0.5[Cu]≤2.03, the sorbite phase transformation temperature of the wire rod can be ensured to be between 510 and 560℃, and the phase transformation start time can be between 40 and 60s, thereby achieving precise control of the sorbite structure and improving its strength and plasticity.

[0013] The design principles of each chemical element in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention are as follows:

[0014] C: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, carbon (C) is an essential chemical component for ensuring the strength of the steel. Increasing the C content in the steel is beneficial for forming more cementite lamellars and a refined sorbitic lamellar structure, thereby giving the steel better deformation and work hardening properties, which is beneficial for improving the strength of the steel wire during subsequent processing. Under this alloy composition system, when the C content in the wire rod is less than 0.70%, the strength of the material will not meet the design requirements. However, when the carbon content in the steel is too high, it will lead to increased component segregation during alloy solidification and deterioration of the material's toughness. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the mass percentage of C is controlled between 0.70 and 1.10 wt.%.

[0015] Si: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, Si is often added to the steel as a deoxidizer during the smelting process. Simultaneously, Si dissolved in the ferrite phase significantly improves the strength of the steel. Furthermore, during the cooling phase transformation process, Si accumulates at the interface between the ferrite and cementite phases. After the steel wire is drawn with a large reduction in surface area, degreasing in a lead bath and hot-dip galvanizing, the accumulation of Si at the phase interface slows down the decomposition of the cementite lamellars under large deformation, thereby effectively reducing the strength loss of the steel. However, when the Si content in the steel is too high, it will significantly reduce the plasticity of the steel, causing the material to become brittle. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the mass percentage of Si is controlled between 0.30 and 2.00 wt.%.

[0016] Mn: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod of the present invention, Mn is added to the steel as a deoxidizer during the steelmaking process. Simultaneously, Mn readily combines with sulfur (S), a harmful element in steel, to form MnS, thereby reducing its harmful effects. Furthermore, Mn is also a commonly used strengthening element in steel, primarily playing a role in solid solution strengthening, resulting in alloy cementite with higher strength. However, the Mn content in the steel should not be too high. Excessive Mn content increases the tendency for grain coarsening during heating, making controlled cooling microstructure control more difficult. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod of the present invention, the mass percentage of Mn is controlled between 0.30 and 0.90 wt.%.

[0017] Cr: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod of the present invention, the addition of Cr element is beneficial to refining the lamellar structure of the sorbitic microstructure of the steel, while improving the strength of cementite, thereby effectively improving the strength and plasticity of the material. To ensure that Cr element can effectively exert its benefits, the Cr element content in the steel needs to be higher than 0.30%. Correspondingly, to prevent the occurrence of abnormal martensitic microstructure and reduce the difficulty of microstructure control, the Cr element content in the steel needs to be controlled below 0.90%. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod of the present invention, the mass percentage content of Cr element is controlled between 0.30 and 0.90 wt.%.

[0018] Mo, Ni, Cu: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, Mo, Ni, and Cu elements can stabilize the supercooled austenitic phase, which is beneficial for increasing the content of sorbite and troostite phases in the wire rod and reducing the lamellar spacing, thereby improving strength and plasticity. The effect is even better when Mo, Ni, and Cu are added in combination. However, adding too much Mo, Ni, and Cu elements increases cost and easily leads to abnormal martensitic structures. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the mass percentage of Mo is controlled between 0.01 and 0.30 wt%, the mass percentage of Ni is controlled between 0.01 and 0.30 wt.%, and the mass percentage of Cu is controlled between 0.01 and 0.50 wt.%.

[0019] Al: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, Al is a deoxidizer, and its deoxidizing ability is much stronger than that of Si and Mn. Simultaneously, Al is an effective element for adjusting the grain size of steel; during solidification, a large amount of finely dispersed alumina can promote the formation of fine-grained steel. However, when the Mn content in the steel is too high, the coarse alumina will severely reduce the drawing and fatigue properties of the wire rod and galvanized steel wire. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the mass percentage of Al is controlled between 0.01 and 0.20 wt.%.

[0020] Furthermore, the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod of the present invention also contains at least one of the following chemical elements:

[0021] 0 < Ti ≤ 0.30 wt.%;

[0022] 0 < Nb ≤ 0.10 wt.%;

[0023] 0 < V ≤ 0.30 wt.%.

[0024] In the above technical solution, Nb, V, and Ti elements can further improve the performance of the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention. The design principle of its chemical elements is as follows:

[0025] Ti, Nb, and V: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, Ti, Nb, and V elements can refine grains and promote precipitation strengthening, thereby improving the strength of the wire rod. However, when the content of Ti, Nb, and V elements in the steel is too high, large hard inclusions are easily formed, which is detrimental to the fatigue performance of the steel wire. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the mass percentage content of Ti element is controlled to 0 < Ti ≤ 0.30 wt.%, the mass percentage content of Nb element is controlled to 0 < Nb ≤ 0.10 wt.%, and the mass percentage content of V element is controlled to 0 < V ≤ 0.30 wt.%.

[0026] Furthermore, in the unavoidable impurities of the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rods described in this invention: P ≤ 0.015 wt.%, S ≤ 0.015 wt.%.

[0027] It should be noted that in the above technical solution of the present invention, P element and S element are both impurity elements in the high strength and toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod of the present invention. When technical conditions permit, in order to obtain steel with better performance and better quality, the content of impurity elements in steel should be reduced as much as possible.

[0028] P and S: In the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, impurity elements P and S are prone to segregation at grain boundaries, reducing the toughness of the steel and significantly affecting its cold working properties. Therefore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the content of P and S elements in the steel must be strictly controlled, with the mass percentage of P element controlled to P≤0.015wt.% and the mass percentage of S element controlled to S≤0.015wt.%.

[0029] Furthermore, in the high-strength and tough sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, the sorbitization rate is ≥85% and the troostitization rate is ≥10%.

[0030] Furthermore, in the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rod described in this invention, its tensile strength is ≥1380MPa and its reduction of area is ≥32%.

[0031] Another objective of this invention is to provide a steel wire that has significant advantages in fatigue resistance and relaxation resistance, and can be effectively applied to long-span suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges.

[0032] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a steel wire which is made from the above-mentioned high-strength and tough sorbitic bridge cable wire rod through at least drawing and galvanizing processes.

[0033] Furthermore, in the steel wire described in this invention, the tensile strength is ≥2000MPa, the relaxation resistance is ≤2.0%, and the fatigue life is ≥2 million cycles.

[0034] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire rods. This method involves smelting, casting, and rolling the wire rods into wire rods, and by controlling the online air-cooling process of the wire rods, wire rods with good performance can be obtained.

[0040] Another objective of this invention is to provide a method for manufacturing steel wire, which involves drawing and galvanizing the high-strength and high-toughness sorbitic bridge cable wire prepared by the above method. The resulting steel wire has significant advantages in terms of fatigue resistance and relaxation resistance, and can be effectively applied to long-span suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges.

[0042] Smelting and casting;

[0043] Rolled into wire rod;

[0048] Furthermore, in the drawing step of the steel wire manufacturing method of the present invention, the total drawing compression is controlled to be ≤80% and the single-pass compression is controlled to be ≤20%.

[0049] Furthermore, in the galvanizing step of the steel wire described in this invention, the galvanizing temperature is controlled at 430–470°C, and / or the galvanizing time is 40–90 seconds.
