Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of steel smelting, and relates to a method for predicting the high-precision microstructure and properties of split bar of deformed steel bars. Background Art

[0002] The process of split bar of deformed steel bars is extremely complex, specifically including processes such as billet heating, billet soaking, descaling, rough rolling, medium rolling, pre-finishing rolling, splitting, finishing rolling, sizing and reducing, post-rolling water cooling, and air cooling on the cooling bed. The key to improving the properties and quality of split bar of deformed steel bars lies in formulating and adopting a reasonable controlled rolling and controlled cooling production process.

[0003] The rolling speed of bars is fast, and steel mills are profit-making enterprises. Usually, production cannot be interrupted. It is also very difficult to measure the temperature, microstructure, and properties of materials during the production process, and it is impossible to determine the specific factors affecting the microstructure and properties of bars. This also makes it difficult to formulate the process parameters of controlled rolling and controlled cooling.

[0004] The traditional method for formulating the controlled rolling and controlled cooling process is mainly to study the microstructure evolution law of a certain steel grade through thermal simulation experiments, and then test the mechanical properties. When meeting the expectations and standards, set the process flow according to the experimental parameters, conduct industrial trial rolling, and then return to modify the rolling process parameters and water cooling parameters according to the on-site trial rolling data, so as to determine the final rolling schedule and cooling regime. It can be seen that this method requires a large amount of financial and human resources, and the entire experimental and data analysis process also takes a lot of time, with low efficiency.

[0005] With the rapid development of the civil engineering industry, users have higher and higher requirements for the microstructure and properties of deformed steel bars. In the existing inspection means, usually only 4-5 bars are inspected for one heat of steel. This makes the results representing the microstructure and properties of the finished products of this heat of rolling have contingency and limitations, and it is impossible to confirm whether each billet is qualified.

[0006] Most of the existing microstructure and property prediction software for deformed steel bars is an offline system based on a neural network model, and can only predict for the existing process, or is an offline microstructure and property prediction system based on a physical metallurgy model. However, no system that can simultaneously consider the heated billet and the directly rolled billet and realize the online real-time prediction of temperature, microstructure, and properties throughout the rolling process has been seen. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting the high-precision microstructure and properties of split bar of deformed steel bars, which can simulate the entire rolling and cooling process (from the continuous casting outlet / furnace outlet to the finished product off-line) of the head and tail of the billet, and is used to optimize the hot rolling and cooling processes of split bar of deformed steel bars, improve the qualification rate of product properties; connect with industrial production, realize simulated rolling, and can online predict the microstructure and properties of each billet, reducing the contingency of results caused by inspection technology defects.

[0016] 7) The calculation program uses the force and energy model to calculate the mechanical properties of the rolled piece when it exits the cooling bed, specifically including yield strength model, tensile strength model, elongation model, and total elongation at maximum force model;
