Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding wire steel, and in particular to a high-quality low-carbon and low-silicon hot-rolled wire rod for welding and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] For a long time, welding materials have played an extremely important role in the national economic construction and have also played a vital role in production and life. With the continuous expansion of the application scope of automatic welding equipment in my country and the continuous improvement of welding automation level, the proportion of large components using submerged arc welding has increased year by year, and the demand for submerged arc welding wire has shown a clear upward trend.
[0003] Hot-rolled wire rod for welding is the primary raw material for submerged arc welding wire. It typically undergoes pickling, annealing, and multiple drawing passes before further processing. As the country's environmental protection requirements for businesses become increasingly stringent, welding wire steel manufacturers are increasingly using mechanical descaling instead of traditional pickling processes. The effectiveness of mechanical descaling depends largely on the stripping properties of the wire rod's scale. The better the stripping properties, the more thorough the descaling, and the better the surface quality of the semi-finished product after drawing. Furthermore, to improve production efficiency and reduce costs, welding wire manufacturers have imposed stricter requirements on wire breakage rates during drawing, the degree of spark spatter during welding, and the surface quality and strength of the weld seam. As a result, some common grades of welding wire steel available on the market are no longer able to meet user production needs. Therefore, focusing on key technical indicators such as high efficiency, high output, high welding performance, and pickling-free drawing, through precise control of the chemical composition of welding wire steel, controlled rolling, and delayed Stelmor cooling process after rolling, PF online slow cooling process and other measures, a high-quality welding wire steel with "low carbon, low silicon, low phosphorus, and low sulfur" composition characteristics, high elongation, easy drawing, annealing-free, and pickling-free is developed. This has important practical significance both in serving the national economic construction and in improving corporate profitability. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a high-quality low-carbon, low-silicon hot-rolled wire rod for welding and a preparation method thereof. By rationally controlling the content of elements such as carbon, silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and nitrogen in the steel, the plasticity of the wire rod can be improved, and the strength and hardness of the weld can be increased. Therefore, the present invention develops a hot-rolled wire rod for welding having the composition characteristics of "low carbon, low silicon, low phosphorus, and low sulfur" and possessing the processing characteristics of "high elongation, easy drawing, and no pickling required". This can not only increase the added value of the product and create benefits for the enterprise, but also reduce environmental pollution and serve the national economic construction, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone. The present invention optimizes the processes such as composition design, molten iron pretreatment, converter smelting, LF refining, and rolling, so that the product can not only meet the low P and S requirements of steel for welding wire, but also has the characteristics of no pickling required and drawing required, thus saving energy and reducing consumption, reducing environmental pollution, increasing the added value of the product, and meeting the user's requirements for high efficiency, high output, and high welding performance of welding products.
[0005] The invention relates to a high-quality low-carbon and low-silicon hot-rolled wire rod for welding. The chemical composition and mass percentage of the wire rod are as follows: C: 0.035% to 0.080%, Si≤0.030%, Mn: 0.42% to 0.55%, P≤0.012%, S≤0.012%, Cu≤0.20%, Ni≤0.30%, Cr≤0.20%, and the balance is Fe.
[0006] Carbon significantly impacts the mechanical properties of steel. For hot-rolled wire rod for welding, increasing carbon content increases yield point and tensile strength, but reduces plasticity and impact toughness, leading to an increased tendency for weld cracking. Too low a carbon content can also lead to a softer wire and reduced weld strength. It can also cause a sharp increase in oxygen content in the molten steel, worsening the inclusion content and morphology, increasing hard phases in the steel, and causing pull-out fractures. Furthermore, it requires the addition of large amounts of alloying agents for deoxidation, increasing alloy consumption and driving up costs. Therefore, the carbon content in steel is controlled between 0.035% and 0.080%.
[0007] Silicon has a significant impact on the cold working properties of welding wire. When the silicon content in steel is high and fluctuates greatly, it can easily lead to low elongation and high wire breakage rate. Therefore, the silicon content in steel is controlled to ≤ 0.030%.
[0008] Manganese can increase the tensile strength of welds, improve plasticity and toughness, and eliminate the hot brittleness of steel. However, when the manganese content is too high, it will significantly increase the supercooling ability of austenite, which will increase the formation of cold cracks. Therefore, the manganese content in steel is controlled at 0.42% to 0.55%.
[0009] Phosphorus and sulfur are harmful impurities in steel. Phosphorus tends to segregate in steel, significantly reducing its plasticity and toughness and increasing its brittleness. Sulfur can easily cause hot brittleness in steel, reducing its ductility and toughness. Copper, nickel, and chromium are residual elements; the lower they are, the better, unless they cause other adverse effects. The patent for this invention requires that the wire rod contain P ≤ 0.012%, S ≤ 0.012%, Cu ≤ 0.20%, Ni ≤ 0.30%, and Cr ≤ 0.20%.
[0010] In order to ensure the purity of steel (high-quality low-carbon, low-silicon hot-rolled wire rod for welding), the oxygen content of the steel must be ≤100ppm and the nitrogen content must be ≤60ppm.
[0011] The preparation method of the above-mentioned high-quality low-carbon and low-silicon hot-rolled wire rod for welding comprises molten iron pretreatment → converter smelting → LF refining → argon blowing at an argon station → continuous casting → heating process → rolling process;
[0012] The converter smelting process involves smelting scrap steel and molten iron, with the scrap steel accounting for 12-15% by weight and the pretreated molten iron making up the remainder. The scrap steel is first loaded into an oxygen top-bottom double-blown converter, followed by the pretreated molten iron. The furnace is then shaken, and the lower oxygen lance begins to heat up. Lime, dolomite, limestone, and Australian ore are then added to form slag for phosphorus and carbon removal. The present invention uses Australian ore as a coolant instead of some scrap steel because it contains a higher oxygen content, leading to a more active carbon-oxygen reaction in the molten steel, which is beneficial for denitrification. Furthermore, the heat absorbed per unit of Australian ore is approximately three times that of scrap steel, but its price is lower than that of scrap steel, which can reduce production costs. Finally, Australian ore has a strong slagging effect, which is beneficial for dephosphorization and desulfurization. It is also necessary to ensure that the nitrogen content of scrap steel and auxiliary materials (lime, dolomite, limestone, Australian ore) used as raw materials into the furnace is controlled below 60ppm as much as possible, and reduce the nitrogen content brought into the furnace by the raw and auxiliary materials, including 24.0-30.0kg / t steel of lime, 8.0-12.0kg / t steel of dolomite, 23.0-28.0kg / t steel of limestone, and 15.0-18.0kg / t steel of Australian ore. When the smelting is approaching the end point, the gun position should be appropriately lowered and the stirring of the molten pool should be strengthened. The end point C should be controlled at 0.030%-0.045%, P≤0.012%, and end point O≤750ppm to ensure a successful one-time pouring. The end point temperature is 1620-1660℃, the ladle and alloy are fully baked, the ladle is pre-blown with argon for 2-3 minutes, argon is supplied throughout the tapping process, slag is blocked for tapping, slag is prevented, circular flow is used for tapping, and the molten steel is prohibited from flowing loosely. The tapping time is controlled at 5-6 minutes.
[0013] The heating process is as follows: the billet is hoisted into a walking beam heating furnace for heating, the time the billet spends in the furnace is reduced, the temperature of the soaking section is controlled below 1150°C, the amount of Fe2SiO4 generated is reduced, and the scale peeling performance is improved. Therefore, the preheating section is set at 900±30°C, the heating section at 1100±30°C, the soaking section at 1060±20°C, and the time in the furnace is set at 2.0±0.5h.
[0014] The rolling process is as follows: high-pressure water is applied to the square billet leaving the heating furnace to remove scale, and no visible residual iron oxide scale shall be left on the surface of the billet. The billet is sequentially sent to rough rolling → intermediate rolling → finishing rolling → wire laying → Stelmor air-cooling conveying line → coiling → PF conveying line for slow cooling to obtain the finished welding wire steel coil.

After pre-desulfurization, the S of the molten iron is ≤0.008%, and the molten iron temperature is 1320~1350℃.
[0018] Based on the above technical solution, further, the argon blowing at the argon station is as follows: the ladle is sent into the argon station, the argon blowing time at the argon station is controlled at 7 to 12 minutes, the argon flow rate is controlled well, and the principle is that the steel liquid surface is not exposed; 300 to 500 m of aluminum wire is fed per furnace for deoxidation, and the temperature out of the argon station is 1590 to 1610°C.
