Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a process control method for improving the cooling plate shape of a strong TMCP steel plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Existing medium plate production lines are equipped with ultra-fast cooling equipment. In order to compete in the market price, low alloy series steel plates mainly containing C and Mn reduce the Mn content to below 0.9%, and the re-red temperature to below 600°C. This process design route requires high uniformity of cooling. The uniformity of the current cooling system is difficult to control the overall temperature uniformity of the steel plate within 20°C, so that the flatness of the low alloy series steel plate designed in this way cannot meet the national standard, and needs to be straightened or flattened, resulting in cost waste. High alloy series steel generally adds Cr, Ni, V, Ti and other alloys. This kind of variety needs high cooling speed and large flow cooling process to meet the performance requirements. High cooling speed will also cause uneven deformation of the steel plate, and the steel plate may even be rejected, especially for pipeline steel below 20mm and high-strength series steel plate, which is more sensitive to cooling.
