Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hot continuous rolling, and in particular relates to a hot continuous rolling process method for a stainless steel composite plate. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as people's demands for materials have become increasingly stringent, traditional single-metal or alloy materials have become inadequate to meet the demands of modern society. The use of some precious metals and scarce materials is limited by natural resources. New stainless steel composite plate materials offer excellent surface quality and mechanical properties, along with the superior mechanical properties and machinability of carbon steel. They also possess excellent corrosion, fire, and heat resistance, resist scaling, and maintain strength at high temperatures. As a product that reduces the use of precious metals and improves resource utilization, they are widely used in construction, metallurgy, shipbuilding, petroleum, chemical engineering, water conservancy and power generation, and food industries. Their low production cost and high performance and surface quality have earned them widespread recognition. As a resource-saving product, stainless steel composite plate reduces the consumption of precious metals, significantly lowering project costs and achieving a perfect combination of low cost and high performance, resulting in significant social benefits. Therefore, the question of how to produce new stainless steel composite materials using alloy precious metals at low cost and low dosage has become a key research and development direction.

[0003] Currently, three methods are used to produce stainless steel composite plates: explosive rolling, explosive rolling, and rolling. Each method has its own advantages and disadvantages due to its different preparation processes. The explosive rolling method is typically used in remote outdoor locations to produce composite plates. While it requires minimal investment, the production process uses explosives, which is significantly affected by weather conditions, presents safety concerns, and contributes to environmental pollution and low production efficiency. The explosive rolling method, however, suffers from the limitations of small plate widths, resulting in limited product quality and dimensional accuracy. Due to the constraints of external conditions, output and productivity are also relatively low. Rolling methods are categorized into cold rolling and hot rolling. Cold rolling utilizes atmospheric pressure to bond materials, resulting in higher costs and better material stability, but also has certain dimensional limitations. Hot rolling, on the other hand, allows for continuous, large-scale production of stainless steel composite plates, is not subject to weather restrictions, offers high production efficiency and low costs, and offers large product widths, allowing for processing of larger materials while minimizing contamination from non-metallic impurities. Hot rolling also allows for various processing techniques, such as hot pressing, cold bending, cutting, and welding, and exhibits excellent processability.

[0004] Hot-rolled stainless steel composite plates are composite materials with carbon steel as the substrate and stainless steel as the cladding plate. Hot rolling is the process of processing the composite plate material using a hot rolling mill according to certain heating and rolling temperatures. Its main feature is that carbon steel and stainless steel form a strong metallurgical bond. However, during the hot rolling process, brittle oxides are easily generated at the interface, affecting the composite effect and bonding strength, and cracking and delamination are prone to occur during cold bending. Therefore, it is particularly important to develop a suitable hot rolling process and find the appropriate rolling temperature and reduction rate to solve problems such as thickness uniformity and bonding strength of hot rolling. For domestic steel companies, there are still some key technologies that need to be broken through in the production process of hot-rolled stainless steel composite plates. Summary of the Invention

[0022] In order to make the above-mentioned purpose, design control system and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0023] The technical solution of the present invention is:

[0024] A hot continuous rolling process for stainless steel composite plates comprises the following process steps: slab → slab surface inspection and cleaning, slab heating → high-pressure water descaling → rough rolling → flying shear head → finishing rolling → coiling → quality and performance inspection → packaging and marking → warehousing → coiling.

[0025] The object of the present invention is achieved like this:

[0026] Step 1: Determine the heating temperature and heating time: The heating temperature not only affects the forming process of the stainless steel composite plate, but also affects the microstructure, strength and toughness of the steel layer, and interface bonding performance.

[0027] Step 2: Determine the rolling temperature: When the temperature is too low, the heat dissipation rate of the plate is too fast, resulting in the inability to complete the composite. Only by ensuring the temperature can a better composite degree be achieved. It should be noted that when the temperature is too high, while strengthening the bonding strength between metals, it will also form certain unnecessary chemical reactions, which will have a certain adverse effect on the plate coil and will also be a certain waste of cost.

[0028] Step 3: Determine the reduction system: The bonding strength of the composite board is directly dependent on the reduction rate. If the reduction rate is too low, the bonding strength will be insufficient and the board's functional requirements will not be met. If the reduction rate is too high, the bonding surface of the board will be uneven over a large area, affecting the surface properties of the coil.

[0029] Step 4: Descaling process: By reducing the number of descaling passes in the initial stage of rough rolling, the initial plate shape and thickness of the rolling are determined; then, the surface quality of the steel plate is determined by descaling through finishing rolling;

[0030] Step 5: Controlled cooling process: By controlling the laminar cooling mode, flow rate and speed, the coil cooling is controlled to obtain the required coil performance.

[0031] In order to further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, the following is an explanation with specific embodiments; the specific steps are as follows:

[0032] First, the base plate is selected as Q235B, Q355B, 65Mn, and the cover plate is 304 stainless steel; the composite method is: base plate (85mm) + 304 stainless steel (16mm) + 304 stainless steel (16mm) + base plate (85mm);

[0033] Step 1: Heating in the heating furnace: According to the heating system, the slab is heated to the rolling temperature and then taken out of the furnace. To ensure the ductility of the base plate material and the cladding plate material is consistent, the furnace time of Q235BFH is required to be ≥270min, the furnace time of Q355B FH is required to be ≥300min, and the furnace time of 65Mn is required to be ≥300min; the high temperature section time is required to be ≥90min; the heating temperature is required to be ≥1230℃; the temperature of the rough rolling final polishing steel is within ±30℃ of the same plate, and the average temperature of the rough rolling final polishing steel between furnaces is within 25℃; the furnace adopts a weak oxidizing atmosphere.

[0034] Step 2: Descaling with high-pressure water after the furnace to remove primary iron oxide.

[0035] Step 3: Rough rolling: After heating, the qualified slab is rough rolled in five passes. The single-row header for rough descaling is opened, and descaling is performed in passes 1 and 5. The tapping temperature of the final rough rolling pass is 1120±20°C. The intermediate slab thickness is 49cm.

[0036] Step 4: Cut the head. Adjust the cutting length of 20 pieces of steel to 100mm before rolling.

[0037] In order to prevent the intermediate billet from generating temperature gradient, reduce the temperature drop of the intermediate billet and prevent the weld cracking, the post-furnace descaling, rough descaling and fine descaling adopt the edge shielding method.

[0038] Step 5, finishing rolling, finished product thickness <9.0mm, adopt seven-stand rolling, finished product thickness ≥9.0, adopt throwing 2nd and 5th stands rolling; in the configuration of roller curve, the working roll adopts concave roller profile, concave 0.12mm for rolling; fine descaling adopts single row descaling, and the cooling water and reverse spray water between each stand are turned off; the finishing rolling temperature of Q235BFH is controlled at 870±20℃; Q355BFH is controlled at 860±20℃, and 65MnFH is controlled at 860±20℃.

[0039] Step 6: The strip is cooled in laminar flow, with forced cooling by cooling water. The edge is not cooled, and the cooling method adopts rapid cooling in the front section. The cooling rate control is: V1 is 19.20℃ / S, and V2 is 12.30℃ / S.

[0040] Step 7: The finished double-sided composite sheet coil is transported to the coiling mechanism via conveyor rollers for winding. To ensure substrate performance, the coiling temperature is controlled according to the requirements of the substrate material: Q235BFH at 680±20°C, Q355BFH at 630±20°C, and 65MnFH at 630±20°C.

[0041] Step 8: Inspection and storage. The coiled sheets are numbered, bundled, and stored. According to the sampling requirements, the third sample of the same batch is taken, and the sample size and surface quality are checked. The physical properties of the sample are tested to ensure that the quality meets the national standards.
