Method for manufacturing prime hot rolled high tensile strength deformed bars

Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for manufacturing high tensile strength deformed bars with an ultimate tensile strength of 500 MPa-700 MPa, comprising the steps of: (a) rolling under heavy reduction rate the common 20MnSi steel billet with an initial rolling temperature of 880˜950° C. through the rough and intermediate rolling mills having an maximum lengthening coefficient μ of 1.449; then passing the rolling workpieces through the pre-water cooling process to decrease the temperature of the workpieces to the range of 850˜950° C.; (b) rolling the workpieces through the finish rolling mill having a main motor power of 1350 KW; then cooling rapidly the surface of the workpieces through the water cooling process having a number of cooling water segments of 1˜5 and a water pressure of 0.8˜1.2 MPa so as to control the surface temperature of the workpieces to the cooling bed within the range of 550˜650° C.; (c) cooling the workpieces through the air cooling bed to cool the core portion of the workpieces; then tempering the workpieces to obtain the finished steel. In accordance with the method of the present invention, the tissue of steel is improved by rolling the common 20MnSi steel billet under heavy reduction rate to manufacture directly the high tensile strength deformed bars with a high tensile strength of 500 MPa-700 MPa so that the manufacturing cost and energy consumption are reduced and the tensile strength of steel is improved, and thereby, the construction cost is decreased.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] 1. Field of the Invention

[0002] This invention relates to a method for manufacturing steels, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing prime hot rolled high tensile deformed bars with a tensile strength of 500 MPa-700 MPa.

[0003] 2. Description of the Related Art

[0004] The deformed bar is acted as the framework and the like in the construction of buildings such as industrial factories, reservoirs and dams, road bridges, and so on. Currently, the steel billet of 20MnSi is used by the steel mills to manufacture the HRB335 grade deformed bars. However, the HRB335 deformed bar has a low tensile strength, resulting in the drawbacks of such as large dead weight of the framework structure, high project cost, and long construction period in the construction of especially major projects, and thereby, has already been abandoned for use in construction by developed countries. Nowadays, many alloy elements are added into the steel billet by the steel mill...
