[0005] The preparation method of large-diameter seamless gas cylinder pipe provided by the present application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] Bushing piercing: using a bushing piercing machine to pierce the continuous casting billet after out of the furnace to obtain a rough pipe, and the rough pipe has an outer diameter of 738-750mm and a wall thickness of 34-40mm;

[0009] Precision rolling: when the temperature of the rough pipe is 1150-1200℃, the rough pipe is rolled to obtain a rough pipe, and the rough pipe has an outer diameter of 762-777mm and a wall thickness of 27.1-34.8mm;

[0010] Sizing: sizing the rough pipe to obtain a steel pipe; the steel pipe has an outer diameter of 727.6-750.2mm and a wall thickness of 27.1-35mm;

[0011] Straightening: straightening the steel pipe, and the straightness of the steel pipe after straightening is ≤2mm / m; the full-length bending degree is ≤20mm.

[0012] First cold drawing: the straightened steel pipe is subjected to flat head, annealing and first cold drawing; the outer diameter of the steel pipe after the first cold drawing is 719-733mm, and the wall thickness is 22-30.25mm;

[0013] Grinding: the inner and outer surfaces of the steel pipe after the internal sizing are ground, and the outer diameter of the steel pipe after the grinding is controlled to be 718-736mm, and the wall thickness is 21-29.5mm;

[0014] First flaw detection and thickness measurement: the steel pipe after the grinding is subjected to flaw detection and thickness measurement by using ultrasonic waves, and the qualified steel pipes and unqualified steel pipes are separated; second cold drawing: the outer diameter of the steel pipe after the second cold drawing is 716-730mm, and the wall thickness is 21.5-25.5mm;

[0015] Second flaw detection and thickness measurement: the steel pipe after the cold drawing is subjected to flaw detection and thickness measurement by using ultrasonic waves, and the unqualified products are separated, and the large-diameter seamless cylinder pipe with a diameter greater than 700mm is obtained.

[0016] The application directly prepares the large-diameter cylinder pipe with a diameter greater than 700mm by using the continuous casting blank with a diameter of 700mm, which is beneficial to reduce the production cost and shorten the process flow.

[0017] In the application, the double treatment mode of hot rolling + cold drawing is selected to solve the problems of low wall thickness precision, difficult control of surface quality, low material yield and high whole scrap rate caused by directly preparing the large-diameter cylinder pipe with a diameter greater than 700mm by using the continuous casting blank with a diameter of 700mm, the deformation amount in the hot rolling and cold drawing steps of the cylinder pipe is reasonably distributed, the wall thickness precision of the large-diameter cylinder pipe and the quality of the inner and outer surfaces of the cylinder pipe are improved, the material yield is greater than 85%, and the scrap rate is greatly reduced.

[0018] Secondly, when the blank is rolled, the temperature of the blank is controlled at 1150-1200℃, at this time, the blank still has good plasticity, the rolling force can be reduced, and the equipment can be protected.

[0019] Optionally, in the continuous casting blank heating step, the heating rate of the heating equipment is controlled at 50-60℃ / min before the temperature of the continuous casting blank reaches 700℃, the heating rate of the heating equipment is controlled at 80-100℃ / min when the temperature of the continuous casting blank is 700-1050℃, and the heating rate of the heating equipment is controlled at 10-20℃ / min when the temperature of the continuous casting blank is 1050℃<1260℃; after the temperature of the continuous casting blank reaches 1260℃, the temperature is kept for 100-150min.

[0020] When the continuous casting billet is heated, the heating rate of the heating equipment is adjusted in three steps. Among them, before the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 700℃, the heating rate should not be too fast, because too high heating rate is easy to cause the problem of surface delamination due to local over-temperature of the continuous casting billet; after the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 700℃, at this time, the heating rate needs to be accelerated to make the continuous casting billet realize plastic transformation quickly; after the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 1050℃, the heating rate is adjusted to 10-20℃ / min, which is beneficial to make the temperature inside and outside the continuous casting billet be in a relatively uniform state, is beneficial to improve the wall thickness precision of the gas cylinder pipe, and can also improve the strength performance of the gas cylinder pipe. After the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 1260℃, stop heating, which can prevent the problem of over-burning of the continuous casting billet due to over-temperature of the continuous casting billet, and affect the strength of the gas cylinder pipe due to intergranular decarburization.

[0021] Optionally, when the hollow pipe is being sized, the temperature of the hollow pipe is 800-900℃.

[0022] When the hollow pipe is being sized, the temperature of the hollow pipe is controlled at 800-900℃, which is beneficial to improve the sizing efficiency, and at the same time, will not affect the quality of the outer surface of the hollow pipe.

[0023] Optionally, when the sized steel pipe is being straightened, the temperature of the steel pipe is 250-300℃.

[0024] The straightening temperature of the steel pipe is 250-300℃, which is beneficial to prevent the straightening crack phenomenon, and is beneficial to improve the straightness of the large-diameter seamless gas cylinder pipe.

[0025] Optionally, when the straightened steel pipe is being cold-drawn for the first time, the temperature of the steel pipe is normal temperature.

[0026] When the steel pipe is being cold-drawn for the first time, the temperature of the steel pipe is controlled at normal temperature, which is beneficial to improve the efficiency of the first cold-drawing, and at the same time, will not affect the quality of the inner surface of the steel pipe.

[0027] Optionally, the cold-drawing includes the following steps:

[0028] Shot blasting treatment: using a shot blasting device to perform shot blasting treatment on the steel pipe before the second cold-drawing;

[0029] Phosphating treatment: putting the steel pipe after the shot blasting treatment into a phosphating liquid to perform phosphating treatment to form a phosphating film, and then washing it in clean water for 2-3 times to obtain a phosphated steel pipe;

[0030] Saponification treatment: putting the phosphated steel pipe into a saponification liquid to perform saponification treatment to obtain a saponified steel pipe;

[0031] Cold-drawing treatment: using a cold-drawing device to perform cold-drawing on the saponified steel pipe.

[0032] Before the steel pipe is subjected to cold drawing treatment, the steel pipe is subjected to shot blasting, phosphating and saponification treatment, which is beneficial to prevent the surface defects of the steel pipe in the cold drawing process. Among them, the steel pipe is subjected to shot blasting treatment and then subjected to phosphating treatment, which is beneficial to improve the bonding stability of the phosphating film and the steel pipe; in addition, the saponification treatment of the phosphated steel pipe can improve the cold drawing efficiency of the steel pipe.

[0034] The shot material is cast steel shot with a diameter of 1.0-1.4 mm, and the grooves generated on the surface of the steel pipe subjected to shot blasting treatment have a small diameter and size, so the surface of the steel pipe has a smooth feel and does not have obvious burr feeling.

[0035] Optionally, in the phosphating treatment, the temperature of the phosphating solution is 60-70℃, and the phosphating time is 20-30 min.

[0036] When the temperature of the phosphating solution is 60-70℃, the phosphating solution is beneficial to form a phosphating film on the inner and outer surfaces of the steel pipe to protect the surface of the steel pipe.

[0037] Optionally, in the saponification treatment, the temperature of the saponification solution is 60-70℃, and the saponification time is 5-10 min.

[0038] Controlling the temperature of the saponification solution at 60-70℃ is beneficial to improve the saponification treatment effect of the surface of the steel pipe, reduce the friction of the steel pipe entering the die hole of the cold drawing equipment, and improve the service life of the die in the cold drawing equipment.

[0039] In summary, the technical scheme of the present application has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0040] 1. The present application directly prepares large-diameter gas cylinder pipes with a diameter of 700 mm or more from continuous casting billets with a diameter of 700 mm, which is beneficial to reduce production cost and shorten process flow. Among them, in view of the problems of low wall thickness accuracy, difficult to control surface quality, low yield and high scrap rate caused by directly preparing large-diameter gas cylinder pipes with a diameter of 700 mm or more from continuous casting billets with a diameter of 700 mm, the present application selects a double treatment mode of hot rolling + twice cold drawing, and by reasonably distributing the deformation amount in each step of hot rolling and cold drawing of the gas cylinder pipe, the wall thickness accuracy of the large-diameter gas cylinder pipe and the quality of the inner and outer surfaces of the gas cylinder pipe are improved, the yield is 85% or more, and the scrap rate is greatly reduced.

[0041] 2. When heating the continuous casting billet, the heating rate of the heating equipment is adjusted in three steps. Among them, before the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 700℃, the heating rate should not be too fast, because too high heating rate is easy to cause the problem of surface delamination due to local high temperature of the continuous casting billet; when the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 700℃, at this time, the heating rate needs to be accelerated to make the continuous casting billet quickly realize plastic transformation; after the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 1050℃, the heating rate is adjusted to 10-20℃ / min, which is beneficial to make the temperature inside and outside the continuous casting billet in a relatively uniform state, and is beneficial to improve the wall thickness precision of the gas cylinder pipe and also can improve the strength performance of the gas cylinder pipe. After the temperature of the continuous casting billet reaches 1260℃, stop heating, which can prevent the problem of overburning of the continuous casting billet due to too high temperature of the continuous casting billet, and affect the strength of the gas cylinder pipe due to intergranular decarburization.

[0152] Table 1 Performance of large-diameter seamless gas cylinder tube

[0153]

[0154]

[0155] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, wherein, compared with Example 1, the seamless gas cylinder tube in Comparative Example 1 only undergoes one cold drawing. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that when the large-diameter seamless gas cylinder tube with a diameter of more than 700 mm is prepared by one cold drawing, the yield of the seamless gas cylinder tube decreases, the wall thickness unevenness increases, and the mechanical properties decrease. Therefore, it can be seen that when the large-diameter seamless gas cylinder tube with a diameter of more than 700 mm is prepared by one cold drawing, the scrap rate of the seamless gas cylinder tube is increased, the production cost is increased, and at the same time, it is not conducive to the improvement of the wall thickness precision and the mechanical properties of the seamless gas cylinder tube.

[0156] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, wherein, compared with Example 1, the distribution of deformation of the seamless gas cylinder tube in Comparative Example 2 is not within the scope of the present application. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the distribution of deformation of the seamless gas cylinder tube will affect the yield, wall thickness precision and mechanical properties of the large-diameter seamless gas cylinder tube with a diameter of more than 700 mm.

[0157] Comparative Example 1-3, the difference between Example 1-3 is that the heating rate of the heating equipment is different in the continuous casting billet heating step. Among them, the heating rate of the heating equipment in Example 1 remains unchanged, the heating rate of the heating equipment in Example 2 is adjusted in three steps, and although the heating rate of the heating equipment in Example 3 is also adjusted in three steps, the control of the heating rate in the third step in Example 3 is different from that in Example 2. It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that compared with Example 2, the wall thickness unevenness of the seamless gas cylinder tube in Example 1 and Example 3 increases, and the yield strength and tensile strength decrease. Therefore, it can be seen that the heating rate affects the performance of the large-diameter seamless gas cylinder tube with a diameter of more than 700 mm.

[0158] The specific embodiments are only an explanation of the present application, which is not a limitation of the present application, and those skilled in the art can make modifications to the embodiments without creative contribution after reading the specification, but as long as it is within the scope of the claims of the present application, it is protected by the patent law.
