Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a high-reliability production method of large-specification welded H-shaped steel. BACKGROUND

[0002] H-shaped steel is an important material in the construction industry and is usually used as a main component such as a load-bearing column or a frame beam. H-shaped steel currently includes rolled H-shaped steel and welded H-shaped steel. Rolled H-shaped steel is widely recognized as having high structural reliability because it is formed by rolling cast blanks and has no welds. However, due to the huge investment in production line equipment for rolled H-shaped steel, and the limitations of blank weight, rolling mill pass combination, and rolling mill capacity, some large, heavy, or special-specification H-shaped steels cannot be produced. Furthermore, due to the complex shape of H-shaped steel, it is difficult to achieve uniform cooling during rolling, so the strength grade of H-shaped steel that can be produced by rolling is greatly limited, and the yield strength grade is generally 345 MPa or below. Welded H-shaped steel has flexible size combinations and is not limited by blank weight and rolling equipment. It can be formed by welding plate strips of different sizes as webs and flanges to produce H-shaped steel as needed. The corner connection welds of the web and flange are the key load-bearing parts and are required to be the most stringent, with very high requirements for welding quality. At the same time, the welds are located at the corners, and the welding quality cannot be guaranteed. The welds and their surrounding areas are affected by welding heat cycles and welding material melting, and the corrosion resistance and fatigue life of the welded joint parts are lower than those of the base material area, which often leads to premature failure of the welded parts. Due to the above contradictions, welded H-shaped steel is considered to have much lower reliability than rolled H-shaped steel, and is generally only used in light and low-load steel structure workshops and buildings, greatly limiting its range of use.

[0007] Patent CN202110361080.3, entitled "A Device for Solving the Problem of Inward Collision of the Lower Flange of H-beams During Hot Rolling," discloses a device for solving the problem of inward collision of the lower flange of H-beams during hot rolling. A wedge-shaped straightening structure is installed at the exit of the bridge after the roughing mill. On the projection of the wedge-shaped straightening structure onto the bridge base plate, the wedge-shaped straightening structure has its pointed end facing the H-beam entrance. The two sides of the wedge-shaped straightening structure form outwardly convex arc surfaces. The width of the wedge-shaped straightening structure reaches its maximum size at the H-beam exit. This technical solution reduces the amount of raw material removed by the flame cutting machine due to inward collision of the lower flange, reducing material waste and improving the yield rate. Simultaneously, the wedge-shaped straightening structure is connected to the bridge base plate by bolts, resulting in a simple structure that allows for quick replacement, improving work efficiency and reducing labor intensity. The structure can be adjusted as needed to meet the production requirements of different product specifications.
