Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy, and in particular relates to a method for cutting a riser of a super-thick chromium-molybdenum steel ingot. Background Art

[0002] Chromium-molybdenum steel plates are commonly used in the manufacture of petrochemical and coal chemical equipment. As these facilities evolve toward larger, more intensive, and more sophisticated production, more and more of them require upgrades, placing increasingly stringent demands on the steel used in these equipment. This demand for thicker and wider plates is coupled with a rolling reduction ratio of ≥3 to ensure internal quality. For these thick plates, conventional continuous casting ingots are no longer sufficient, forcing them to be produced from ingots.

[0003] Due to the high content of chromium-molybdenum alloying elements, direct rolling from ingots can easily lead to surface defects such as cracks, dents, cambers, and warps on the steel plates. These defects can increase the number of subsequent production steps, severely impacting the production schedule. More seriously, they can cause production delays and significant economic losses.

[0004] For chromium-molybdenum steel plates, which are produced from ingots, the risers must be cut off before rolling to ensure smooth furnace loading. The quality of the cutting edge significantly impacts the quality of the steel plate's rolling. Cutting defects such as blasting and sawtooth can result in minor edge shape defects and, in severe cases, directly cause the plate to be out of shape. Furthermore, the thicker the ingot, the more difficult it is to cut. The presence of a certain amount of compositional segregation, porosity, and shrinkage defects at the riser of the ingot increases the risk of defects during the cutting process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for cutting a riser of a super-thick chromium-molybdenum steel ingot to improve the cutting quality and reduce cutting defects such as blasting and notches.

[0006] A method for cutting a riser opening of a super-thick chromium-molybdenum steel ingot comprises the following steps: cutting is performed using a variable pressure and variable speed cutting process.

[0007] The variable pressure cutting: during the cutting process, the natural gas pressure is 0.2-0.4MPa, the oxygen pressure is initially 0.5-0.7MPa, and then gradually increases. When cutting to the center, the oxygen pressure is 1.0-1.2MPa, and then gradually decreases. When the cutting ends, the pressure is 0.5-0.7MPa.

[0008] The variable speed cutting: during the cutting process, the initial cutting speed is 0.7-0.9 m / min, then gradually decreases, the cutting speed is 0.4-0.6 m / min when cutting to the center, then gradually increases, and the cutting speed is 0.7-0.9 m / min when the cutting is finished.

[0009] Further, the method of the application, wherein, before cutting, the surface of the blank is baked by using a gas cutting machine, during the baking process, the natural gas pressure is 0.1-0.2 MPa, the oxygen pressure is 0.3-0.6 MPa, and the baking speed of the gas cutting machine is 3-5 m / min.

[0010] Further, the method of the application, wherein, during cutting, the cutting line is 50-150 mm away from the riser line.

[0011] Further, the method of the application, wherein, during the cutting process, the nozzle is 30-50 mm away from the steel plate.

[0012] Further, the method of the application, wherein, during the casting of the steel ingot, the molten steel is poured to the position 50-70 mm away from the upper edge of the riser to start adding rice husk, and the total amount of rice husk is 50-100 kg.

[0013] The method for cutting the riser of the blank of the super-large thickness chromium-molybdenum steel ingot, during the cutting process, a variable pressure and variable speed cutting process is used, the cutting speed and the oxygen pressure of the cutting trolley are adjusted in the area where the composition segregation is more serious in the middle of the riser width, the cutting quality is improved under the premise of ensuring the cutting speed; before cutting, the surface of the blank is baked, which can effectively remove the iron oxide scale on the surface of the blank and avoid cutting quality problems caused by surface defects; the cutting line is accurately positioned, and the distance of the nozzle from the steel plate is controlled, which can effectively improve the cutting quality, the amount of rice husk is controlled during the casting process, the heat preservation effect of the riser during the solidification process is strengthened, and the composition segregation is effectively improved.

[0014] The beneficial effects produced by the above technical solutions are: 1) the cutting surface quality is good, there are no cutting blasting, serrations and other defects, the quality of the edge of the rolled steel plate is good, and the probability of defects such as notches and bursting is controlled within 3%; 2) the thickness of the blank cutting can reach 600-700 mm; 3) the above production method only innovates the production process, without increasing equipment investment.
