Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy and steel rolling, and specifically relates to a method for producing low rolling ratio high carbon alloy round steel by continuously casting small-section square billets. Background Art

[0002] Low rolling ratio high carbon alloy round steel mainly refers to hot rolled round steel with a carbon content of about 1.0%, an alloy content of less than 5%, and a rolling compression ratio of about 10, such as high carbon chromium bearing steel, grinding ball steel, high carbon tool steel, etc. The design characteristics of this type of special purpose steel are: high carbon content, and containing alloy elements such as silicon, manganese, and chromium. Therefore, the performance is manifested as: high hardness, good wear resistance, excellent hardenability, and certain toughness, corrosion resistance, and high fatigue performance characteristics. However, due to the high carbon content and the presence of certain alloy elements such as silicon, manganese, and chromium, and the continuous casting machine does not have a terminal light pressure reduction device, it is very easy to form metallurgical defects such as segregation, looseness, shrinkage, and cracks during the continuous casting process. In order to obtain and improve the quality of round steel, a method for producing low rolling ratio high carbon alloy round steel by continuous casting of small-section square billets is proposed. Summary of the invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing low rolling ratio high carbon alloy round steel by continuous casting square billets of small section, so as to solve the quality defects of high carbon alloy round steel in existing production technology, such as segregation, low multiple quality difference, and non-conforming rolling, improve the density and yield rate of low rolling ratio round steel, and reduce production costs.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides a method for producing low rolling ratio high carbon alloy round steel by continuous casting of small section square billet, the production method comprising: calculating the liquid core length of the continuous casting square billet; determining the electromagnetic stirring process parameters; hot delivery or pit cooling of the continuous casting square billet; high temperature heating and diffusion of the continuous casting square billet; penetration of the rolling force center during the rolling process; shearing, stacking and inspection of the round steel. The specific operation steps and parameter settings are as follows.

[0005] (1) Calculating the liquid core length of the continuous casting billet: Based on the chemical composition of the high-carbon alloy round steel, the cross-sectional dimensions of the continuous casting billet, the superheat of the molten steel, the drawing speed, and the cooling conditions, the liquid metal ratio inside the continuous casting billet reaches a predetermined value of 25-40%. The liquid core length at this time is the liquid core length of the continuous casting billet to be calculated;

[0006] (2) Confirmation of electromagnetic stirring process parameters: Based on the liquid core length of the continuous casting billet in step (1), according to the liquid core length of the molten steel in the continuous casting billet and the position information of the electromagnetic stirring, the electromagnetic stirring process parameters are set for processing; the electromagnetic stirring includes mold electromagnetic stirring (M-EMS) and end electromagnetic stirring (F-EMS); the mold electromagnetic stirring parameter setting: the current is 250-400A, the frequency is 1-4Hz; the end electromagnetic stirring parameter setting: the current is 350-500A, the frequency is 8-12Hz;

[0007] (3) Hot delivery or pit cooling of the continuous casting billet: The continuous casting billet after the electromagnetic stirring treatment in step (2) is hot delivered to a heating furnace or placed in a slow cooling pit for slow cooling to obtain a treated continuous casting billet; the continuous casting billet is hot delivered to the heating furnace by a heat preservation vehicle, and the temperature of the hot delivery heating furnace is greater than 550°C; the slow cooling in the slow cooling pit is specifically: the continuous casting billet is cooled in the slow cooling pit for a time of ≥36h and a cooling temperature of ≤200°C;

[0008] (4) High-temperature heating and diffusion of the continuous casting billet: Based on the continuous casting billet treated in step (3), the continuous casting billet is placed in a heating furnace for heating, with the preheating section temperature ≤ 860°C, the heating section temperature 900-1100°C, the heating section temperature 1160-1230°C, the soaking section temperature 1160-1250°C, and the total heating time ≥ 240 min to obtain a heat-treated continuous casting billet;

[0009] (5) Penetration of the rolling force into the core of the rolling process: The continuous casting square billet after heat treatment in step (4) is dephosphorized by high-pressure water and then rolled, and the surface of the rolled piece is cooled by water after rough rolling and rough rolling to make the internal temperature of the rolled piece higher than the surface temperature, so that the rolling force penetrates into the core of the rolled piece to obtain the rolled round steel;

[0010] (6) Cutting, stacking and testing of round steel: Based on the round steel after rolling in step (5), the round steel is cut, and after cutting, the round steel is quickly collected and packaged at high temperature, and then stacked in a windproof place for cooling and testing.

[0011] Furthermore, the high carbon alloy round steel in step (1) includes GCr15SiMn bearing steel, GCr15 bearing steel and B350A grinding ball steel.

[0012] Furthermore, the cross-sectional size of the continuously cast square billet in step (1) is 220*220 mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the superheat control requirement of the molten steel in step (1) is 15-30°C; the specific measurement method is: before the molten steel is placed on the continuous casting rotating table, the temperature of the molten steel is measured and confirmed; the molten steel that meets the requirements is hoisted to the continuous casting rotating table, and a long water nozzle is installed and argon protection is turned on to protect the casting throughout the entire process; according to the continuous casting process, each stream is poured and accelerated one by one; after pouring, starting from the 10th minute, the temperature is collected every 5 minutes, and each continuous casting furnace number is measured 6 times; the temperature measuring gun head must be perpendicular to the molten steel liquid surface, the insertion depth of the molten steel is between 200 and 300 mm, the residence time is 5 to 7 seconds, and the actual measured temperature of the molten steel is recorded.

[0014] Furthermore, in step (1), the casting speed of the continuous casting billet varies in the range of 0.80 to 0.95 m / min, and the casting speed is constant throughout the entire process.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (1), the cooling adopts a weak cooling method, and the specific conditions are: water cooling in zone 1, air-water cooling in zones 2 and 3, wherein the water flow rates in zones 1, 2 and 3 are 34-38 L / min, 38-42 L / min, and 18-21 L / min, respectively.

[0016] Furthermore, in step (2), the electromagnetic stirring current of the crystallizer is 400A and the frequency is 2 Hz; the terminal electromagnetic stirring current is 500A and the frequency is 10 Hz.

[0017] Furthermore, the temperature of the hot delivery heating furnace in step (3) is 600°C; the slow cooling time of the slow cooling pit is 36 to 38 hours, and the cooling temperature is 100°C.

[0018] Furthermore, in step (4), the continuous casting billet is heated and diffused at high temperature. The continuous casting billet is loaded into a heating furnace for heating. The preheating temperature is 680-750°C, the heating temperature is 980-1050°C, the heating temperature is 1190-1200°C, the soaking temperature is 1200-1210°C, and the total heating time is 280-300min. This ensures that the billet is evenly burned through. When the temperature of the core of the billet is high, it is beneficial to improve defects such as looseness and shrinkage during rolling.

[0019] Furthermore, in step (4), the continuous casting billet is heated and diffused at high temperature, wherein the temperature reaches 1180-1210°C, which is considered to be in the high temperature range, and the holding time in the high temperature range is ≥150 minutes to promote diffusion; the holding time in the high temperature range is preferably 160-175 minutes.

[0020] Furthermore, the dephosphorization pressure in step (5) is 20-22 MPa; the rolling is performed at a low speed, and the low speed rolling refers to a rolling speed of 75-85% of the rolling speed of medium carbon low alloy steel of the same specification, that is, the rolling speed of GCr15SiMn bearing steel is 1.0-1.1 m / s, the rolling speed of GCr15 bearing steel is 0.8-1.0 m / s, and the rolling speed of B350A grinding ball steel is 0.8-1.0 m / s.

[0021] Furthermore, in step (6), the round steel is sheared, stacked and inspected. The starting shearing temperature of the round steel is greater than 500°C. The round steel is quickly collected at a high temperature above 350°C and slowly cooled in a cooling pit to prevent cracking at the end of the round steel. Samples are then taken for inspection.

[0022] The advantages and technical effects of the present invention are:

[0023] The above technical method has the following advantages: First, through the electromagnetic stirring effect, the electromagnetic stirring is a "crystallizer + end" combined electromagnetic stirring. Under the excitation of the three-phase power supply, a rotating magnetic field is generated at the center of the coil. When the molten steel passes through, the molten steel rotates under the action of the electromagnetic force, which has the effect of stirring; so that the liquid steel composition and solute in the continuous casting billet are evenly distributed. Second, the use of high-temperature heating and diffusion further reduces segregation and improves the quality of the core. Third, the use of rolling force penetration technology reduces the rolling speed and increases the unit rolling force to increase the viscosity coefficient of the rolling process. During the rolling process, the plastic deformation effectively penetrates into the core, promotes the effect of rolling force penetration into the core, and then effectively improves the quality of the core of the rolling, presses loose, shrinkage and other low-magnification defects, and improves the density. Fourth, through high-temperature rapid collection and stack cooling, the bending of round steel is reduced, the residual thermal stress is reduced, stress cracking is avoided, and the surface quality is improved. Fifth, the small-section continuous casting billet has obvious cost advantages under the premise of quality assurance. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
