Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of steel material preparation, and in particular relates to a production method of high-silicon non-oriented electrical steel, and non-oriented electrical steel prepared by the production method. Background Art
[0002] Vertical twin-roll thin strip casting technology is a production process that can directly cast and roll thin strip steel. It uses two counter-rotating copper rollers to solidify and form a continuous steel strip for continuous downward transmission. Compared with traditional hot rolling processes, this technology has the advantages of simple production procedures, short production lines, near-net shape, low energy consumption, and low product costs. In addition, because the vertical twin-roll thin strip casting technology has a high solidification cooling rate far higher than that of traditional processes, the sub-rapid solidification state it achieves can not only help reduce the adverse effects of element segregation, but also effectively avoid the formation of B2 and DO3 low plastic deformation Fe-Si structures under high silicon conditions, thereby reducing the difficulty of subsequent rolling.
[0003] As an important soft magnetic material, non-oriented electrical steel is often used in key components of electronic equipment such as motor stators (rotors) that need to work in a rotating magnetic field. As one of the key performance parameters for evaluating non-oriented electrical steel, iron loss and magnetic induction intensity are often the focus of attention. When used as a motor stator (rotor), the magnetic induction intensity of the non-oriented electrical steel material is related to the torque of the motor, while the iron loss, thermal conductivity, fatigue strength, etc. of the material are related to the maximum speed of the motor. Iron loss is generally considered to be composed of eddy current loss, hysteresis loss, and anomalous loss. In daily production life, the iron core is usually divided into thin sheets of low thickness and electrically isolated from each other by coating to reduce eddy current loss. This makes thinning an effective means of reducing thickness.
[0004] The thin strip casting process can directly produce near-net-shape thin strip products. Furthermore, the non-oriented electrical steel used in new energy vehicle motor stators and rotors requires a low thickness, which is perfectly suited to the thin strip casting process. Therefore, if the two can be combined to produce non-oriented electrical steel for new energy vehicle motor stators and rotors using the thin strip casting process, it will make a due contribution to promoting green development.
[0005] CN114606435A discloses a traditional process for producing non-oriented electrical steel strip, which includes smelting, refining outside the furnace, continuous casting of thick slabs, slab reheating, hot rolling, normalizing, cold rolling, annealing, insulation coating, shearing, and packaging. This process first casts the molten steel into a 35-40 mm thick ingot. The ingot is then repeatedly heated to 1150°C and held for 2 hours. The ingot is then rolled through seven passes to produce a 1.5-2.0 mm thick hot-rolled sheet. The hot-rolled sheet is then normalized at 900-950°C, cold rolled twice to a thickness of 0.2-0.4 mm, and annealed. However, in this technology, the initial thickness of the molten steel after casting and rolling is 35-40 mm, so it is necessary to repeatedly heat it to 1150 ° C and keep it at this temperature for 2 hours, and to waste energy to roll the thick plate seven times to obtain a 1.5-2.0 mm thick hot-rolled plate. This makes the production process complicated, the production process long, the cost high, and the production speed slow. In addition, the deformation required from the 35-40 mm thick ingot to the 1.5-2.0 thick hot-rolled plate is too large, which destroys the original columnar crystal {001} <uvw>texture, resulting in severe deterioration of the texture, smaller grain size, low magnetic induction and high iron loss.
[0006] In addition, CN114606445A discloses a method for producing non-oriented silicon steel, non-oriented silicon steel and its applications; CN108330397A discloses a method for preparing ultra-thin strips of non-oriented silicon steel with low iron loss and high magnetic induction; CN108085603A discloses a method for preparing high-grade non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip continuous casting; CN108504932A discloses a method for preparing ultra-thin strips of non-oriented silicon steel based on thin strip continuous casting. The above disclosed technologies still have the following problems:
[0007] (1) The aluminum content in the composition is prone to cause outlet blockage when nitrogen is used as cooling gas. When the aluminum content is limited to avoid the outlet blockage problem, it is difficult to avoid the adverse effects of small-sized AlN precipitates on grain growth during subsequent annealing;
[0008] (2) The low manganese content in the composition and the extremely thin product size after cold rolling pose challenges to the yield strength of the material. Since the motor generates a large centrifugal force when rotating at high speed, the rotor core magnetic bridge and other weak points are prone to fracture, making it difficult to ensure the safety of the motor at high speed;
[0009] (3) Under the combined influence of the AlN inclusions and the final annealing process mentioned in (1), the iron loss of the product did not decrease to the value that the product should have at this thickness. Summary of the Invention
[0010] In order to solve the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a low iron loss and high magnetic induction non-oriented silicon steel strip and its preparation method and application.

[0046] In view of the problems that the traditional process of preparing ultra-thin strips of non-oriented electrical steel from medium and thick plates or ingots is complicated, energy-consuming and time-consuming, and the existing vertical twin-roll casting and rolling equipment is used to prepare ultra-thin strips of non-oriented electrical steel with insufficient yield strength and magnetic properties, the present invention provides a method for preparing low-thickness, low-iron-loss and high-magnetic-induction non-oriented silicon steel strips using vertical twin-roll thin strip casting and rolling technology. The method is based on vertical twin-roll thin strip casting and rolling, secondary cold rolling, and hood annealing to influence the evolution of grain size and texture distribution, thereby controlling the magnetic properties and mechanical properties of the product: the present invention can directly form molten steel into a thin strip with a thickness of 1.5-3 mm by adjusting the chemical composition, adopting a protective atmosphere (such as nitrogen), and using a vertical twin-roll casting and rolling process, and directly hot rolling, thereby eliminating a large amount of time and energy loss in repeated rolling and repeated heating before hot rolling; at the same time, due to the reduction in the deformation required by the process of the present invention, the original columnar crystal {001} can be retained to a large extent. <uvw>The invention optimizes the texture, thereby optimizing the texture distribution and grain size, and promoting the final magnetic properties. Furthermore, the invention improves the composition of the molten steel, avoiding outlet blockage caused by aluminum and nitrogen shielding gas, and reducing the adverse effects of AlN inclusions. The invention optimizes the manganese content, increasing product strength without reducing ductility. The invention also optimizes the heat treatment process to enhance the final magnetic properties. The low-thickness, low-iron-loss, high-magnetic-induction non-oriented silicon steel strip produced using this method can be mass-produced and applied in automotive drive motors.
[0047] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0048] 1. Compared with the conventional method for preparing low-thickness, high-grade non-oriented electrical steel, the present invention controls the Al content, making it possible to adopt a vertical twin-roll thin strip casting process under nitrogen environment and sub-rapid solidification. As a result, cast strips with a thickness of 1.0-2.5 mm can be directly cast and rolled. The microstructure of the cast strips is refined and uniform, the composition is evenly distributed (with low segregation), the solid solubility is expanded, and a supersaturated solid solution is formed.
[0049] 2. Compared with the conventional method for preparing low-thickness, high-grade non-oriented electrical steel, the present invention adopts a nitrogen environment for casting and rolling. In addition to controlling the contents of C, S, and P, the present invention also controls the contents of Al, Cr, Sb, and Ti to reduce the harmful effects of small-sized inclusions.
[0050] 3. Compared with the conventional method for preparing low-thickness and high-grade non-oriented electrical steel, the present invention obtains the solid solution strengthening effect by adopting sub-rapid solidification and provides conditions for dispersion strengthening, so that the product can obtain ideal mechanical properties (yield strength Rp 0.2 500-550Mpa, R m 580-720 MPa, elongation 12.0-14.6%);
[0051] 4. The cast strip products directly cast and rolled by the vertical twin-roll thin strip casting process usually have small grains, which is not conducive to magnetic properties. Compared with the conventional low-thickness and high-grade non-oriented electrical steel production method, the present invention adopts secondary cold rolling with intermediate annealing and hood annealing process to adjust the grain size, texture distribution, etc., so as to obtain thin strip products with ideal magnetic properties (medium frequency iron loss P 1.0 / 400 7-14W / kg, magnetic induction B 50 is 1.67-1.71T).
