Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel production, and particularly to a control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates. Background Art
[0002] Ferrite-pearlite pipeline steels generally include grades X42-X70. Due to their characteristics such as high strength, high impact toughness, and good welding performance, they are widely used in industrial projects such as pipeline transportation of petroleum, natural gas, etc. Because pipeline steels have excellent mechanical properties, during production, usually due to their relatively low return red temperature, there are large internal stresses in the steel plates during the cooling process. If the internal stresses cannot be released, the shape of the steel plates is usually poor, making it difficult to roll during the rolling process. After cooling and straightening, there will also be secondary deformation in the shape, affecting the first-pass qualification rate of the shape. The warped plates must go through processes such as flattening and straightening to meet the usage requirements of customers. This not only increases the production cost on the one hand, but also affects the contract delivery on the other hand, causing customer complaints.
[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the shape problems of pipeline steel plates of grades X42-X70, it is urgent to optimize the processes in heating, rolling, cooling, straightening, etc., and it is also necessary to apply control means after the steel plates are taken off the production line to improve the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and provides a control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates, including the following steps:
[0005] After the slab is stored in the warehouse, the surface quality of the billet is inspected, the cutting slag burrs are cleaned, and it is lifted to the stacking table by the overhead crane. Subsequently, the pusher pushes the slab onto the roller table and finally loads it into the heating furnace;
[0006] The fireman controls the temperature of each section according to the heating system, and the furnace temperatures of the second heating section and the soaking section are in accordance with the requirements;
[0007] After the slab meets the heating system, the steelmaker taps the steel. The slab is descaled once by the descaling box. If it is not completely descaled, it is descaled again. If it is still not completely descaled, it is sent back to the furnace for treatment;
[0008] During the rolling stage of the roughing mill, it must meet the requirement of three descaling operations by the roughing mill;
[0009] The intermediate billet is not stacked, and is quickly fed to the front of the finishing mill. Two descaling operations are carried out during the finishing stage;
[0010] Pre-straightening is carried out with large tilting and large reduction amounts;
[0011] Ultra-fast cooling process: Different cooling processes are adopted for different grades of pipeline steels;
[0012] The X42 grade is straightened with a small reduction, and the X50-X70 grades are straightened with a large reduction;
[0013] The finishing workshop empties the cooling bed in advance. After the steel plate is segmented, it is quickly taken offline for shearing.
[0014] The further limited technical solution of the present invention is:
[0015] For the control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates described above, the furnace temperatures of the second heating section and the soaking section are carried out at 1200-1220 °C.
[0016] For the control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates described above, the rough rolling mill rolls 11 passes. High-pressure descaling is carried out in the first pass, the third pass and the fifth pass, and it is necessary to meet the requirement of three descaling passes for the rough rolling mill.
[0017] For the control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates described above, the finishing rolling mill rolls 5 passes. Descaling is carried out in the first pass and the fourth pass, and there are two descaling passes in the finishing rolling stage.
[0018] For the control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates described above, the pre-straightening process is: load reduction is 1.5-1.7 mm, tilting correction is 1.0-1.6 mm, and roll gap correction is -0.4 to -0.8 mm.
[0019] For the control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates described above, the ultra-fast cooling process: for the X42 grade, the 3rd and 5th groups of headers, the flow rate is 170 m 3 / h, the water ratio is 1.30-1.40, the speed is 0.9-1.0 m / s, and the acceleration is 0.008-0.01 m / s 2 ; for the X52-X70 grades, the 3rd to 10th groups of headers, the flow rate is 180, the water ratio is 1.30-1.40 m 3 / h, the speed is 0.85-0.9 m / s, and the acceleration is 0.003-0.005 m / s 2 .
[0020] For the control method for improving the first-pass qualification rate of the shape of pipeline steel plates described above, the precision straightening process is: the straightening force for the X42 grade is 1200 tons, and the straightening force for the X52-X70 grades is 1650 tons.
[0021] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0022] (1) The heating process formulated by the present invention is heated at medium and low temperatures, which can effectively reduce the unit consumption of the heating furnace;
[0023] (2) The rolling process formulated by the present invention can ensure the normal arrangement of the rolling schedule, which not only ensures rolling with a large reduction, but also ensures a smooth rhythm in the rolling stage;
