Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel rolling, and in particular to a method for reducing roller marks on the surface of a steel plate. Background Art

[0002] During the production of wide and thick plates, the slab is first rolled through a rolling mill, and the rolled steel plate is then straightened by a straightening machine. If there are pits or foreign matter on the rollers or straightening rollers, periodic roller marks will be generated on the surface of the steel plate during the rolling or straightening process. These roller marks may appear on either the upper or lower surface of the steel plate. In addition, if there are pits or protrusions on the conveyor rollers, roller marks will also be generated on the surface of the steel plate when the steel plate passes through. This is especially true for the rollers before and after the straightening machine. Due to the high pressure on the rollers during straightening, roller marks are easily generated if there are defects on the roller surface. Roller marks on the surface of the steel plate are generally distributed periodically and continuously. If the roller marks are shallow, they can usually be repaired by grinding or shot blasting, but this will increase manufacturing costs and extend the manufacturing cycle. If the roller marks are deep and the thickness of the defect is below the lower limit of the standard requirement, the steel plate will have to be downgraded or scrapped, resulting in significant losses.

[0003] Patent publication number CN103506382A, "A Production Method for Improving the Surface Quality of Thick Ship Plates," provides a method for controlling iron oxide scale on steel plates. This method effectively controls the intrusion of iron oxide scale onto steel plates, eliminating pitting defects. However, this method only controls pitting and the intrusion of iron oxide scale, and does not address solutions for roller marks on steel plate surfaces.

[0004] Patent publication number CN113369312A, "A Process for Controlling Pits in 25-40mm Q235 Steel," provides a method for controlling surface pitting in medium-thick Q235 steel. This method effectively controls pitting in 25-40mm thick Q235 steel. However, this method is limited to controlling pitting and does not address solutions for roller marks on the steel plate surface.

[0005] Patent publication number CN102319734A, "A Method for Effectively Controlling Small Pits on the Surface of Medium and Thick Plates," provides a method for controlling pitting on steel plate surfaces. While this method effectively reduces pitting on steel plate surfaces, it only addresses pitting control and does not address solutions for roller marks on steel plate surfaces.

[0019] Furthermore, the Si content of the steel plate is 0.21%; when the slab is heated, the residual oxygen content of the exhaust gas from the heating furnace is 2.2%; after the slab is taken out of the furnace, the conveying speed of the slab on the roller is 2.5m / s; after the slab is taken out of the furnace, it is descaled by the initial descaling machine, the descaling pressure is 20.5MPa, and the roller speed of the descaling machine is 0.8m / s; the steel plate is descaled in each of the first five passes of rolling, and the descaling method of the first two passes is simultaneous descaling in forward and reverse directions; the descaling of the odd-numbered passes and subsequent passes is positive descaling; the hardness of the surface of the 6 conveyor rollers before and after the straightening machine is greater than that of the straightening roller surface.

[0021] Roller marks on the surface of steel plates affect their surface quality, so they require careful attention from composition design to production processes and equipment maintenance. The steel plates are designed with a low silicon content, primarily to facilitate the removal of the oxide scale formed during slab heating during descaling. Using low residual oxygen during slab heating can reduce the generation of oxide scale during the heating process. The descaling machine utilizes high descaling pressure and low descaling roller speeds during descaling, effectively removing the oxide scale generated during slab heating and preventing residual oxide scale from scratching the rolls during rolling, which could result in roller marks on the finished steel plate. The surface hardness of each of the six rollers before and after the leveler is higher than that of the straightening rollers, and the 1m roll gap at the head of the straightening roller is larger than that of the rest of the steel plate. This is primarily to prevent the head of the steel plate from scratching the roller surface during straightening, which could result in roller marks on the lower surface of the steel plate. At the entrance of the straightening machine, a side spray is set up to blow away the powdered iron oxide scale on the surface of the steel plate to prevent the straightening roller from sticking to the iron oxide scale, which will cause roller marks on the straightened steel plate.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] The method provided by the present invention is simple to operate, requires no additional equipment, and can be easily implemented on-site. It effectively eliminates roller marks on steel plate surfaces during production. Steel plates produced using this method exhibit significantly improved surface quality, with the amount of additional grinding, scrapping, and downgrading due to roller marks reduced by 91.2% compared to pre-implementation levels. This is a significant improvement. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
