Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of non-oriented silicon steel production, and more specifically, relates to a low-cost non-oriented silicon steel and an efficient production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Silicon steel is the raw material for producing various rotating motors, transformers, generators, etc. It is an important soft magnetic alloy material in power, electronics, military industry and transportation, and is one of the indispensable raw materials for modernization and people's lives. With the development of non-oriented silicon steel in my country, major breakthroughs have been made in the past decade, especially in production capacity, supply quantity, product structure and technological progress.

[0003] In 2020, my country's total silicon steel production capacity reached 12.76 million tons, which is 181 times that of 1978 when it was first put into production, making an important contribution to my country's and even the world's economic development. With the rapid development of the application field of non-oriented silicon steel, the demand for non-oriented silicon steel is showing a rapid growth trend. In the context of the increasing demand for silicon steel in the future, efficient production has become an important means for domestic and foreign silicon steel manufacturers to quickly increase production capacity.

[0004] At the same time, with the introduction of the "carbon peak and carbon neutrality" policy, low-cost manufacturing has become one of the important means for major manufacturers to achieve green, low-carbon, energy-saving and emission reduction. For cold-rolled non-oriented silicon steel, shortening the production process has become an important way to reduce costs. For current silicon steel manufacturers, shortening the production process mainly means canceling the normalized production process. According to current relevant data at home and abroad, when the Si content of molten steel is ≥1.7%, the coarse and elongated (100) columnar crystals cannot be completely broken and recrystallized to retain the deformed banded structure due to the difficulty of dynamic recovery and recrystallization of the (100) orientation relative to other orientations and the difficulty of γ→α phase transformation during hot rolling. During the cold rolling plastic deformation process, the equiaxed crystals before cold rolling are transformed into flat fibers, and the coarse banded structure remains as a coarse deformation band after cold rolling compression deformation. Due to the difference in performance (deformation resistance) between this coarse banded structure and other fine equiaxed crystals, the plate surface after cold rolling has uneven corrugated defects. The uneven corrugated defects along the rolling direction are more obvious after annealing, affecting the use of downstream users. Therefore, at present, silicon steel manufacturers mainly focus on low grades with Si content less than 1.7% for the grades with higher Si content, and even high grades. How to reduce the risk of surface corrugated defects caused by the cancellation of the normalization production process has become a concern of major manufacturers.

[0005] After searching, in order to reduce production costs, patent CN 113737089 A proposed a low-cost, extremely low-aluminum non-oriented electrical steel sheet, with chemical composition Si of 0.1-1.2%, Mn of 0.1-0.5%, P of 0.01-0.2%, Sn of 0.005-0.05%, ALs ≤ 0.001%, mainly relying on the extremely low aluminum content in steel, and the steel and slag containing a moderate amount of oxidizing technical characteristics, to reduce the RH refining deoxidation, alloying special alloy quality, so as to greatly reduce the manufacturing cost of steel. Although this solution technology does not require normalization and is controlled by extremely low aluminum content, in order to improve the magnetic induction of the product, the alloy Sn element is added. The Sn element is a relatively expensive alloy element, which increases the alloy cost.

[0006] In view of the rapid growth in demand for silicon steel in my country and the background of green and low-carbon manufacturing, the development of non-oriented silicon steel with short development process and low cost, as well as how to quickly increase production capacity, have become the key development directions for silicon steel production companies in the future. Summary of the invention

[0007] 1. Problems to be solved

[0008] The present invention intends to provide a low-cost non-oriented silicon steel and an efficient production method thereof. By optimizing the hot rolling process, normal production is eliminated, the production process of non-oriented silicon steel is shortened, and at the same time, the efficient production of the continuous annealing unit is coordinated to shorten the total production time and greatly increase the production capacity.

[0009] 2. Technical solution

[0010] To solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0011] The invention discloses a method for efficiently producing low-cost non-oriented silicon steel, which has the advantages of short process, high production efficiency and excellent surface quality, conforms to the manufacturing concept of "green, low-carbon and environmentally friendly", and meets the requirements of efficient production of silicon steel as the demand for silicon steel continues to grow in the future.

[0012] Specifically, the chemical composition of the low-cost non-oriented silicon steel of the present invention is as follows by weight: C≤0.005%, Si: 0.3-1.9%, Mn: 0.1-0.3%, Als≤0.7%, B: 0.001-0.01%, P: 0.001-0.01%, S≤0.005%, N≤0.005%, Ti≤0.005%, wherein in order to prevent corrugated defects, Si, Al, P, and B elements should satisfy: exp{0.6(Si+Al)-4.7}≤(P+10B), and the rest are Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0013] The role of each element in steel is as follows:

[0014] C: Although the C element can improve the mechanical properties, it is a harmful element for non-oriented silicon steel and will deteriorate the magnetic properties of silicon steel. The present invention belongs to a medium-low non-oriented silicon steel product, and the C content is not more than 0.005%.

[0015] Si: Si element can improve resistivity, reduce product iron loss, and reduce the γ phase region. When Si ≥ 1.9%, partial phase change or no phase change is very likely to occur during the hot rolling process, resulting in difficulty in refining columnar crystals in the slab and increasing the risk of corrugated defects in the finished product. The upper limit of Si content control in the present invention is 1.9%, while ensuring the magnetic properties of the product, the Si content is ≥ 0.3%.

[0016] Mn: Mn and S elements form MnS, which reduces the S dissolved in the slab during heating and can effectively suppress the hot brittleness during heating. However, if the Mn content is too high, fine MnS precipitates will be produced during hot rolling, which will prevent the grains from growing and deteriorate the magnetic properties. In the present invention, the Mn / S content ratio should be controlled within the range of 20 to 60. Considering that the S content is ≤0.005%, the purpose can be achieved when the Mn content is greater than 0.15%. Therefore, the Mn content in the present invention is controlled within the range of 0.1% to 0.30%.

[0017] P: In silicon steel, the P element can increase the resistivity ρ, reduce the γ phase area, increase the strain energy in the ferrite grains during hot rolling, promote dynamic recrystallization, make the grains grow, and can increase the favorable texture components and reduce the unfavorable texture components; however, the P element has a grain boundary segregation effect, which can easily cause embrittlement. A P content exceeding 0.10% will significantly deteriorate the processability. Therefore, the P content should not be too high. The P content of the present invention needs to be controlled at 0.001% to 0.10%.

[0018] Als: Al is similar to Si and can improve the magnetic properties of the product. Considering the control range of Si content in the product, Als in the present invention is less than 0.7%.

[0019] B: B element and N element form BN, as well as B compounds, which can promote the refinement of ferrite grains, narrow the width of ferrite grains in the central area of ​​the strip thickness direction, reduce the non-recrystallized area, and reduce the risk of corrugated defects.

[0020] S, N, Ti: S, N, and Ti are harmful elements. In order to reduce the impact on the magnetic properties of the product, the S content is ≤0.005%, the N content is ≤0.005%, and the Ti content is ≤0.005%.

[0021] The above-mentioned low-cost and efficient production method of non-oriented silicon steel of the present invention specifically comprises the following process:

[0022] S1. Molten steel is continuously cast into a slab with a thickness of 200 to 260 mm. "Low-temperature casting" can prevent the formation of coarse columnar crystals in the center of the ingot, increase the proportion of equiaxed crystals, and reduce the appearance of corrugated defects in the finished product. The present invention requires "low-temperature casting" in the casting process, and the casting temperature is required to be ≤1530°C. At the same time, "electromagnetic stirring" is used during continuous casting. Electromagnetic stirring can significantly reduce the columnar crystals in the ingot and increase the equiaxed crystals, ensuring that the proportion of equiaxed crystals in the ingot is greater than 65%, which can further reduce the corrugated defects on the surface of the finished plate.

[0023] S2. Directly load the continuous casting slabs meeting the above requirements into the heating furnace for heating. The temperature of the heating furnace is controlled at 1150-1250°C. In order to minimize the production time and improve the production efficiency, the slabs can be heated evenly. It is required that the total heating time is not more than 210 minutes under the condition that the center temperature of the slab reaches the temperature of the heating furnace;

[0024] S3, hot rolling the slab at high temperature. To ensure the "high temperature final rolling" of the hot-rolled plate, the temperature of the slab after rough rolling is required to be not less than 940°C, and hot rolling is performed for 7 passes to a hot-rolled plate with a thickness of 2.2-2.6 mm. Considering that the present invention does not undergo a normalizing process, "high temperature curling" is required. To ensure that the temperature of the strip before hot rolling curling meets the requirements of the present invention, a heat preservation cover is used to keep the temperature in the rough rolling to final rolling section. To ensure the high temperature requirement before the strip curling, the final rolling temperature is required to be controlled at 860-920°C.

[0025] S4. Considering that the post-process of the present invention does not use a normalizing process, hot rolling curling requires "high-temperature curling". High-temperature curling can make the grains of the hot-rolled plate grow, the structure is more uniform, and the corrugated defects are prevented; at the same time, high-temperature curling can weaken the {111} and {112} components of the finished product, enhance the {100} and {110} components, and improve the magnetic properties of the product, especially improve the magnetic induction, and make up for the reduction in magnetic induction caused by the lack of normalization. In order to ensure that the hot-rolled curling is performed at a higher temperature, the hot-rolled plate is directly high-temperature curled without laminar cooling after the final rolling, and the strip is insulated with a heat preservation cover before curling. If necessary, the strip can be heated by a high-frequency rapid heating method to ensure that the strip temperature before curling is greater than 800°C, and to ensure that the hot-rolled strip structure of the hot-rolled plate is recrystallized after curling.

[0026] S5. Considering the "high temperature curling" adopted in the present invention, and the fact that water spraying is not used for dephosphorization during hot rolling, the strip surface has a lot of iron oxide scale at high temperature. The strip is shot blasted + pickled before cold rolling. The pickling liquid is HCl + HF aqueous solution, wherein the volume fraction of hydrochloric acid is 55-60%, the amount of hydrofluoric acid added is 80-100g / L, and the pickling temperature is 75°C to 80°C, to ensure that the strip surface is clean and free of impurities such as iron oxide scale;

[0027] The pickled steel strip is directly cold rolled. Considering the high tension requirement of the steel strip in the furnace adopted by the efficient continuous annealing production method of the present invention, in order to reduce the influence of the steel strip tension on the magnetic properties of the product, the target thickness of the finished product is 0.50-0.65 mm, and the total cold rolling reduction rate is between 70.4% and 80.7%.

[0028] S6. The cold-rolled sheet is continuously annealed in a high-speed continuous annealing furnace. Compared with the "single-pass" operation of the conventional continuous annealing furnace, the present invention adopts a multi-layer "reciprocating" operation of the strip in the high-speed continuous annealing furnace. Specifically, a three-layer "reciprocating" operation can be adopted. Under the condition of ensuring that the strip reaches the time required for recrystallization and grain growth, it has the ability of high-speed production. Specifically, Figure 1 As shown, in the continuous annealing furnace heating section 100 and the continuous annealing furnace soaking section 101, the strip steel 103 is used in cooperation with the carbon sleeve rollers 102, both of which adopt a three-layer reciprocating operation.

[0029] In the present invention, the temperature of the strip in the soaking section of the continuous annealing furnace is 800-930°C. In order to ensure that the strip stays in the soaking section of the continuous annealing furnace for more than 30 seconds required for re-graining and grain growth, according to the current length of the continuous annealing soaking furnace in the industry of 60m-70m, the running speed of the strip in the furnace can reach 250-300m / min, the production efficiency can be increased by 2-3 times, and the hourly production capacity can reach more than 70 tons, significantly improving the production capacity. In order to ensure the high-speed operation stability of the strip, the unit tension of the strip in the furnace is required to be greater than 2KN. At the same time, in order to reduce the deterioration of magnetic anisotropy caused by tension, resulting in an increase in the magnetic anisotropy of the finished product, and to ensure that the magnetic anisotropy of the finished product is less than 10%, the unit tension of the strip is required to be less than 2.5KN, that is, 2.0KN <F / (h×C) <2.5KN, where F is the total tension of the strip, h is the thickness of the strip, and C is the width of the strip. The reducing atmosphere in the furnace adopts H 2 and N 2 Mixed gas, H 2 The volume content is 5-15%. When the C content is greater than 0.0030%, a wet atmosphere with a dew point greater than 15°C is required in the continuous annealing furnace; when the C content is less than 0.0030%, no requirement is made for the dew point in the furnace. After the strip is annealed, the insulating coating is applied by the coating roller and the insulating coating is cured at 380-650°C.

[0030] The non-oriented silicon steel product obtained by the above-mentioned inventive process has low cost, short process and high efficiency compared with the traditional production process, while taking into account the excellent magnetic properties and surface quality of the product, meeting the requirements of "low-carbon" manufacturing and efficient production, and the thickness of the final product is 0.50-0.65mm, and the iron loss P 1.5 / 50 At 2.80~5.5W / kg, B 5000 At 1.71~1.75T, magnetic anisotropy is less than 10%. Among them: iron loss P 1.5 / 50The core loss when the frequency of the alternating magnetic field is 50Hz and the maximum magnetic flux density is 1.5T; the magnetic induction B 5000 is the magnetic flux density under the condition of magnetic field strength of 5000A / m.

[0031] 3. Beneficial effects

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the low-cost and efficient production method of non-oriented silicon steel of the present invention shortens the production process of non-oriented silicon steel by optimizing the hot rolling process. While eliminating the normal production process, the product still has high magnetic properties and no corrugated defects on the surface of the strip. And through the efficient production of the continuous annealing unit, the total production time is shortened and the production capacity is greatly improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
