Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of rolling and cooling technology for medium and heavy plate production lines, and is directed to the shape control of 50-100mm TMCP process products in heavy plate production lines. Specifically, it involves a method for controlling head and tail warping of thick plates in accelerated cooling process of heavy plate production lines based on big data analysis. Background Technology

[0002] Steel plates with a thickness of 50-100mm are important products of medium and heavy plate production lines. They are generally important raw materials used in major projects and have high performance requirements. They involve controlled rolling and controlled cooling processes. The final rolling temperature in the controlled rolling process is generally low. The ends of the rolled steel plates are prone to warping or buckling in the thickness direction. Even if the warping at the beginning and end is not obvious during the rolling process, the uneven stress caused by the different cooling rate at the beginning and end of the steel plate compared to the middle of the steel plate during the cooling process will result in warping after cooling.

[0003] Currently, the problem of head and tail warping in steel plates with a thickness of 50-100mm is one of the challenges in medium and heavy plate production lines.

[0004] The invention application with application number CN201210286950.6 discloses "a calibration method for a straightening machine", which includes the following steps: Step 1, setting a calibration reference surface for the roll gap before calibrating the roll gap of the straightening rollers; Step 2, making a calibration plate for the roll gap reference surface; Step 3, moving the roll gap calibration plate into the straightening machine, adjusting the position of each straightening roller on both sides of the calibration plate relative to the calibration plate, and adjusting the pressure of each straightening roller; Step 4, parameterizing the calibration effect measurement standard; Step 5, compensating for the deviation in the position of the main hydraulic cylinder.

[0005] The invention application with application number CN 201310169922.0 discloses "a method for controlling the waviness in the middle of a straightening thick plate". First, the steel grade, specifications, initial bending radius of curvature, and initial waviness of the thick plate to be straightened are collected, and the target waviness is set. Then, the residual stress distribution curve of the thick plate is calculated, and the amount of negative bending rollers required to straighten the waviness is calculated using the residual stress distribution curve. Finally, the thick plate is straightened using the amount of negative bending rollers, and the actual flatness of the thick plate after straightening is detected by a straightening machine outlet flatness meter. The straightening operation is repeated until the waviness index meets the finished product requirements, and the straightening work is completed.

[0006] The invention application with application number 201911385397.X discloses "an improved method for addressing warping of thick-gauge wind power steel plates during low-temperature rolling," specifically as follows: S1: Upper and lower plate temperature control: Arrange 10-16 Q235B low-quality steel plates before and after the thick plate for transition, ensuring uniform slab temperature; improve the cooling water valve, replace the descaling spray valve of the finishing mill, and reduce the pre-filling water; restore the side spray water of the finishing mill to reduce residual water on the steel plate surface; the roller cooling water is opened to maximum before rolling, and the mill cooling water is opened to maximum. The roll system is set at 40%-60% opening, and the lower roll system is set at 100%-120% opening; S2: Intermediate billet length setting: The intermediate billet length should be greater than 4.2m. The thickness to be heated can be modified within the allowable range of the rolling process. If it cannot meet the requirements, it should be returned to the furnace; S3: The rolling speed is controlled. After strictly implementing the improvement measures on site, the phenomenon of scrap due to head lifting no longer occurred when rolling thick-gauge wind power steel. The rolling process is stable, the plate shape is straight, the effect is obvious, and the phenomenon of head lifting scrap is greatly reduced. Summary of the Invention

[0144] Based on this equation, the correction for the unit rolling force is completed.

[0145] Working process, principle and implementation examples

[0146] Working process and principle

[0147] This solution is derived from an optimization and summary of the causes of warping at the ends of 50-100mm thick steel plates. 50-100mm thick steel plates with accelerated cooling processes are mainly produced through multiple processes, including roughing mill rolling (primarily for controlling planar shape), finishing mill rolling (controlling steel plate thickness and achieving acceptable performance), pre-straightening (controlling plate shape), accelerated cooling device cooling (controlling performance), and hot straightening (controlling plate shape).

[0148] I. Head and tail shape control strategy for steel plates with a thickness of 50-100mm:

[0149] The head and tail shape feature values ​​of the steel plate outline are calculated to distinguish the tongue and the fish tail.

[0150] 1. Determine the maximum distance point and distance L1 from the beginning and end of the width coordinates from 1 / 10 to 1 / 2 of the width to the rounded corner boundary line;

[0151] 2. Determine the minimum distance L3min from the beginning and end points of the width coordinates from 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the width to the rounded corner boundary line; the maximum distance point and distance L3max;

[0152] 3. Determine the distance L3 from the point at half the width coordinate to the fillet boundary line;

[0153] 4. Determine the maximum distance L2 between the beginning and end of the width coordinates from 1 / 2 to 9 / 10 of the width to the rounded corner boundary line. For example... Figure 2 As shown.

[0154] like Figure 3 As shown, the criteria for determining the fishtail type are:

[0155] L3min≈L3min (difference not exceeding 50mm),

[0156] L1>L3min, L2>L3min, used as a quantitative measure of the length of irregular shapes.

[0157] When L3min>0, max(L1,L2) is used as the distance for irregular shapes.

[0158] When L3min<0

[0159] max(L1,L2)-L3min is the distance between the head and tail irregular shapes.

[0160] like Figure 4 As shown, the criteria for determining tongue type are:

[0161] L3≈L3max ​​(difference not exceeding 50mm)

[0162] L1 <L3max,

[0163] L2 <L3max,

[0164] L3max ​​is the distance for irregular shapes.

[0165] Big data analysis revealed a correlation between head and tail shape and flattening ratio. The results showed that tongue-shaped heads and tails had a significantly lower flattening ratio than fishtail-shaped heads and tails. Therefore, the head and tail shapes should ideally be tongue-shaped or have rounded edges (with a middle length greater than the edge length). See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 5 .

[0166] The steel plates without expansion passes are not deliberately controlled;

[0167] For steel plates with widening passes, the MAS roll gap for the final widening pass is set at multiple points, with the midpoint raised by 1-3mm, as shown in the diagram. Figure 5 .

[0168] II. Rolling shape control strategy for steel plates with a thickness of 50-100mm in finishing mills:

[0169] Rolling steel rejection direction: Set the finishing mill to reject steel in the reverse pass, that is, the last rolling pass is a pass without pressure reduction; this measure can ensure that the head of the steel plate (in the direction of hot straightening) is relatively straight after the finishing mill rolls out, and ensure that the pre-straightener bites in and the cooling system cools more evenly.

[0170] Rolling speed setting: The finishing mill starts rolling at a constant speed from the fourth load pass from the end. The bite speed VI, rolling speed VM and steel ejection speed VO are all equal. The rolling speed is set to 1~2m / s. This setting can reduce the warping of the plate shape caused by speed changes.

[0171] Control logic for pass reduction parameters after controlled rolling thickness initial rolling:

[0172] Through big data analysis, an optimized reduction parameter control logic library is established. When the specifications meet the requirements, the reduction pass allocation is set by the logic library. By summarizing steel plates without additional flattening processes, the significant difference between them and those with additional flattening processes lies in the stable relationship between rolling force and rolling width. The maximum rolling force Fmax is set as unit rolling force FW * rolling width W, where the value of FW is affected by the rolling force correction coefficient Frat. The reduction per pass is calculated under this rolling force, and the reduction is calculated for each pass. FW ranges from approximately 1.2 to 1.8 t / mm. Frat is a coefficient related to the entry thickness and width W of the steel plate pass. The larger the entry thickness, the larger the Frat value. The model calculates the reduction based on the maximum rolling force of each pass and checks that the torque load does not exceed the limit. The total number of passes calculated meets the requirements for steel removal direction (as mentioned earlier, if the finishing mill uses reverse pass steel removal, then the last pass calculated has no load, and the steel removal direction is reverse pass steel removal).

[0173] Frate=1.24+1.48*EH+0.08*W (Formula 1)

[0174] Note: EH stands for entrythickness. Both EH and W are in meters (m).

[0175] Elevation and buckle coefficient control:

[0176] The height (also known as the elevation, passline) of the fourth load-bearing pass in the finishing mill is set to 1 / 2 reduction + sf (elevation adjustment coefficient). The cornering coefficient is set so that the lower roll speed Vb is greater than the upper roll speed Vt, and the speed difference ratio is set to sd (calculated as (Vb-Vt) / Vt). This setting can effectively prevent the occurrence of rolling corners and avoid greater bending caused by the impact of the steel plate corners with the roller table.

[0177] SF and SD are empirical values. SF is related to the rolling force and the thickness of the rolled steel plate. For the last four rolling passes, Fr, SF = 0.5 * Fr / 1000. The actual value of SF will also be slightly adjusted due to the influence of HGC cylinder parameters. SD is the speed difference, with a default value of 0.02. Operators can adjust it according to the actual warpage. The range of SF is approximately 1 to 10 mm, and the range of SD is approximately 0.01 to 0.08. (See diagram below.) Figure 6 .

[0178] III. Straightening Strategies for Steel Plates with a Thickness of 50-100mm Using a Pre-straightening Machine

[0179] During the straightening process, the tilt of the tail section is increased by 0.1–0.5 mm (increasing the curvature between the straightening rollers). This measure can improve or even eliminate the tail section warping of the rolled steel plate, making it straighter before entering the accelerated cooling device.

[0180] IV. Cooling Strategies for 50-100mm Thick Steel Plates to Control the Cooling Process

[0181] Because the temperature distribution of the rolled steel plate shows that the temperature at the beginning and end is lower than that in the middle, when the steel plate enters the accelerated cooling mechanism, the water volume in the first 0.5m range of the beginning and end of the steel plate is reduced by head and tail shielding (head and tail shielding is only adjusted for the first group of water volume). The water volume reduced by shielding is Rflow (the original normal water volume Vflow * the reduction ratio is Drflow). The adjustment is in increments of 50m³ / h, and the result is determined according to the nearest value. For example, if the adjustment is [0, 25], no adjustment is made; if the adjustment is [26, 75], the adjustment is 50m³ / h; if the adjustment is [76, 99], the adjustment is 100m³ / h. Drflow is related to the temperature of the rolled steel plate. Figure 2 The temperature along the length of the middle section of the rolled steel plate. Thead is the average temperature over the first 0.5m, Ttail is the average temperature over the last 0.5m, and Tmid is the average temperature over the middle section of the steel plate. The head shading water ratio Drflow = ha * [(Tmid - Thead) / Tmid], and the tail shading water ratio Drflow = ta * [(Tmid - Ttail) / Tmid], where ha and ta are empirical adjustment coefficients related to the temperature range and the temperature difference between the head / tail and the middle section. Figure 7 The figure shows the temperature curve along the length direction after the steel plate finishing mill is completed.

[0182] V. Straightening Strategies for Steel Plates with a Thickness of 50-100mm Using Hot Straightening Machines

[0183] During the straightening process, the first and last 1m sections require slow straightening (the speed is increased back to normal after passing through the slow zone). The straightening speeds Vhlhead and Vhltail are 90%–95% of the normal set speed, and the tail tilt is increased by 0.1–0.5mm (increasing the curvature between the straightening rollers). This measure can improve or even eliminate the warping of the head and tail sections of the rolled steel plate, making it relatively straight before entering the accelerated cooling device.

[0184] Example

[0185] The following examples illustrate the invention in more detail: The steel used for the engineering structure is Q345E, with a target rolling specification of 70*2600*13800mm (thickness, width, length), and slab number XXX01003212; the slab dimensions are 358*2100*3400mm. The initial thickness during finishing mill rolling is 140mm, and the steel plate width is 2612mm.

[0186] The slab width is significantly smaller than the target steel plate width, necessitating widening rolling. The original MAS (Manual of Standard Rolling) setting for the thickness per pass was 265mm, but this was changed to 267mm based on this technical specification. The head shape after rolling is as follows... Figure 1 The tail is almost the same size as the head, and both the head and tail are rounded.

[0187] The finishing mill, through logical calculations, is designed for reverse pass steel ejection, with the last pass being an unloaded pass. The rolling force is calculated in units of approximately 1.2–1.6 t / mm. The last four loaded passes are uniform speed rolling. The relevant elevation line settings and roll speed differences are detailed in the table below.

[0189] The pre-straightening machine is set with a strategy that increases the tail tilt by 0.2mm to 1.4mm, instead of the original normal straightening tilt of 1.2mm.

[0190] Because the temperature distribution of the rolled steel plate shows a lower temperature at the beginning and end compared to the middle, the water volume in the 0.5m range at the beginning and end of the plate is reduced by shielding when the steel plate enters the accelerated cooling mechanism. The water volume reduced by shielding is Rflow (original normal water volume Vflow * reduction ratio Drflow). The original normal first group water volume Vflow is 700m³ / h at the top. 3 / h, the lower flow rate is 1850m³ 3 / h. The temperature distribution after steel plate finishing mill discharge is Thead = 729℃, Tmid = 739℃, Ttail = 732℃, with relatively small temperature differences between the head and tail and between the middle. The water volume ratio of the head shielding the upper part is Drflow = ha * [(Tmid - Thead) / Tmid] = 0.12 (ha = 9), Rflow = 700 * 0.12 = 84, so the first group of water volume when the head passes 0.5m is 600m. 3 / h, and the lower flow rate is 1650m³ / h, and so on. 3 / h. The tail flow rate is calculated similarly for the upper 600m³. 3 / h, lower part 1650m 3 / h.

[0191] During the straightening process of the hot straightening machine, the head and tail sections need to be straightened slowly. The normal straightening speed is 0.6 m / s. The straightening speed of Vhlhead and Vhltail is 90% of the normal setting speed, which is 0.54 m / s. The original tilt setting is 0.6 mm. After increasing the tilt at the head and tail, the tilt at the head and tail is 0.7 mm.

[0192] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the present invention aims to optimize the head and tail shape of 50-100mm thick cooling process steel plates through targeted measures, thus achieving significant quality improvement.

When the main and auxiliary processes are optimized simultaneously, the resulting solution constitutes the optimal solution of this technical solution.
