[0017] The above-mentioned 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar has a mass percentage of C 0.26%-0.28%, Si 0.70%-0.80%, Mn 1.45%-1.55%, V 0.10%-0.16%, Nb 0.01%-0.025%, P≤0.045%, S≤0.045%, N 0.0132%-0.0302%, T.O≤0.0030% for the chemical composition of the small size steel bar with a diameter of 12-14mm, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities; while the carbon equivalent Ceq≤0.58% and 5.75≤(V+0.55Nb) / N≤8 are met. The chemical composition of the large and medium size steel bar with a diameter of 16-40mm has a mass percentage of C 0.26%-0.28%, Si 0.70%-0.80%, Mn 1.45%-1.55%, V 0.12%-0.18%, Nb 0.01%-0.025%, P≤0.045%, S≤0.045%, N 0.0157%-0.0337%, T.O≤0.0030%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities, while the carbon equivalent Ceq≤0.58% and 5.75≤(V+0.55Nb) / N≤8 are met.

[0018] The 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar provided by the embodiments of the present application has the following alloy component effects and principles:

[0019] C, Mn, Si are conventional alloying elements for improving the strength of steel, wherein C is a cost-effective strengthening element, plays a solid solution strengthening role, and combines with V and Nb in the steel to form carbides or carbonitrides to play a precipitation strengthening role, the C content of the application is 0.19%-0.28%, further, preferably C 0.24%-0.28%, more preferably 0.26%-0.28%; Mn plays a solid solution strengthening role and can significantly improve the tensile strength of the steel, and is a beneficial element for improving the strength-yield ratio of the steel bar, the Mn content of the application is 1.35%-1.60%, further, preferably Mn 1.40%-1.55%, more preferably 1.45%-1.55%. Si plays a solid solution strengthening role, its effect on improving the strength of the steel bar is smaller than that of Mn, and it does not improve the strength-yield ratio, the Si content of the application is Si 0.55%-0.80%, further, preferably Si 0.65%-0.80%, more preferably 0.70%-0.80%.

[0020] V: by heating solid solution in the steel rolling process, fine and dispersed V(C, N) compounds are precipitated during deformation and phase change, hindering grain growth, playing a fine-grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening role; V has no special requirements for the preparation process control of the steel bar and will not increase the crack sensitivity of the billet, and is the most important micro-alloying element for high-strength steel bars, and its strengthening characteristics are to simultaneously improve the yield and tensile strength and improve R o m / R o eL The effect is not obvious. The V content of the application is 0.10%-0.18%, because of the specification effect of the strength of the steel bar, the V micro-alloying component is controlled according to the specification group distance, the V of the small specification steel bar with a diameter of 12-14mm is further preferably 0.12%-0.16%, and the V of the large and medium specification steel bar with a diameter of 16-40mm is preferably 0.14%-0.17%.

[0021] Nb: Refine pearlite lamellar structure and ferrite structure, fine grain strengthening effect; In the process of deformation and phase change, precipitate Nb(C, N) compound, fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening effect; Inventor found that solid solution of niobium can improve the hardenability of steel, delay the austenite-ferrite phase transition, reduce the proportion of ferrite, increase the proportion of pearlite, promote the formation of low temperature phase change product, produce phase change strengthening effect, significantly improve the tensile strength of steel, improve the high strength steel bar yield ratio anti-seismic performance index; But the Nb-containing steel will precipitate Nb(C, N) compound along the original austenite grain boundary during the cooling process of continuous casting billet, form micropores at the grain boundary, and easily form grain boundary cracks, so that the plasticity of the steel is poor; When the content of Nb is high, the temperature of Nb solid solution into austenite during the heating process of the steel billet is relatively high compared with V, and the solid solution time is relatively long compared with V, which affects the production efficiency and increases the heating energy consumption cost; The inventor found that when Nb is less than or equal to 0.025%, the Nb-V micro-alloyed steel can not only improve the strength and yield ratio, but also avoid the generation of grain boundary cracks in the continuous casting billet, and the heating degree and heating time of the steel billet can be controlled by the conventional process without special control; In the present application, the content of Nb is controlled in the range of 0.01%-0.025%, further, the content of Nb is preferably in the range of 0.012%-0.023%, and more preferably in the range of 0.012%-0.020%.

[0022] N: As described above, N combines with V and Nb to form fine and dispersed nitrides and carbonitrides, which have fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening effects; The solid solution and precipitation of V and Nb and the type of precipitates are complex phase change processes, and the inventor found that the nitrides and carbides of vanadium are completely miscible to form vanadium carbonitride in the form of VC x N 1-x (0.01<x<0.99) form, and the coefficient x is closely related to the content of V, C and N and the precipitation temperature; When the content of N is high, the V precipitates mainly in the form of vanadium carbonitride rich in nitrogen, the coefficient x is small, and the change with temperature is small; When the content of N is low, vanadium carbonitride rich in carbon is formed, and with the decrease of temperature and the decrease of N content, part of N in the vanadium carbonitride rich in nitrogen precipitated by V at high temperature is replaced by C, and the coefficient x increases. The nitrides of V are finer and more dispersed than the carbides, and have smaller tendency to coarsen, so more vanadium carbonitride rich in nitrogen is expected to be precipitated. In the ideal state, V is completely precipitated in the form of vanadium carbonitride, the proportion of VN in the precipitate is in the range of 0.65-0.8, the atomic ratio of V / N is 3.6, and the relationship between the content of N and V is 4.6≤V / N≤5.6; The actual proportion of V precipitated in the form of vanadium carbonitride is 70%-0.80%, and thus the relationship between the content of N and V is 5.75≤V / N≤8, and the combination of niobium with carbon and nitrogen is similar to that of vanadium, in the form of NbC x N 1-xThe precipitates are in the form of (0.01 < x < 0.99), the coefficient of the proportion of NbN in the precipitates is 1-x in the range of 0.65-0.8, the atomic weight ratio of Nb / N is 6.6, the relationship between N and Nb contents is 4.6 ≤ 0.55Nb / N ≤ 5.6, the actual proportion of Nb precipitated carbonitride is 70%-0.80%, thus the relationship between N and Nb contents is 5.75 ≤ 0.55Nb / N ≤ 8, the relationship between N, V and Nb contents is 5.75 ≤ (V+0.55Nb) / N ≤ 8, thus the required N content combined with 0.10%-0.18% V and 0.01%-0.025% Nb is 0.0132%-0.0337%.

[0023] The above 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar has a microstructure of ferrite + pearlite + a small amount of bainite, wherein the proportion of pearlite is ≥45%, the proportion of bainite is 2%-5%, and the ferrite grain size is 10.5-12 grade.

[0024] The above 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar has a yield strength R eL ≥640MPa, a tensile strength R m ≥815MPa, a maximum force total elongation A gt ≥10% of the anti-seismic performance, a measured tensile strength to measured yield strength ratio R o m / R o eL ≥1.25, a measured yield strength to yield strength characteristic value ratio R o eL / R eL ≤1.30.

[0025] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a preparation method of the above 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar, and the preparation process route is as follows: converter smelting, argon station bottom blowing gas stirring, LF furnace refining, continuous casting, billet heating, rolling and post-rolling cooling.

[0026] Converter smelting: the blowing end point P is ≤0.035%, silicon iron and silicon manganese iron are added when the converter tapping is to 1 / 3, vanadium-nitrogen alloy and niobium iron are added when the silicon iron and silicon manganese iron are added by half, appropriate amount of slagging materials are added for slag washing, and the ladle bottom blowing gas stirring is opened for 2-4 min.

[0027] P cannot be removed in the argon station of steelmaking, LF furnace refining and continuous casting process, and the added silicon manganese iron alloy contains P. After adding the alloy, the P content of molten steel increases by 0.002%-0.005%; when half of the silicon iron and silicon manganese iron is added, vanadium-nitrogen alloy and niobium iron are added, mainly because the terminal molten steel has strong oxidizing property, the silicon iron and silicon manganese iron have deoxidizing function, which reduces the oxidizing property of molten steel and improves the recovery rate of vanadium-nitrogen alloy and niobium iron; the purpose of opening the bottom blowing gas stirring of the ladle is to make the added alloy and slagging material quickly melt and homogenize, and prevent the alloy and slagging material from not completely melting at the end of tapping.

[0028] When the terminal C is less than or equal to 0.04%, the dissolved oxygen of molten steel increases exponentially, the molten steel has strong oxidizing property, and the alloy recovery rate is significantly reduced. An appropriate amount of deoxidizer needs to be added during the tapping process to ensure the alloy recovery rate.

[0029] Argon station bottom blowing gas stirring: since V and Nb micro-alloying elements are added to the steel, sufficient N is needed to combine with V and Nb to form carbonitride precipitated phase, which plays a role in fine-grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening. Adding vanadium-nitrogen alloy during the converter tapping process increases the N content in the steel, but N still cannot meet the requirements, and the molten steel still needs to be further increased in N. The cost of increasing N by bottom blowing nitrogen in the argon station is low, and bottom blowing nitrogen is preferred when the conditions for blowing nitrogen are met. The blowing nitrogen time is 7-10 min, and the molten steel can increase N by 20-35 ppm. Alternatively, when the argon station is bottom blowing argon, a nitrogen increasing agent needs to be added during the converter tapping process to increase N. Preferably, the nitrogen increasing agent is one of rare earth nitrogen alloy and silicon nitride.

[0030] LF furnace refining and continuous casting: including power-up temperature adjustment to adjust the temperature of molten steel to meet the requirements of continuous casting, adding alloy to fine-tune the composition according to the composition of the steel, adding lime to make slag, and adding silicon deoxidizer to diffuse and deoxidize, thereby reducing the oxidizing property of the ladle top slag, removing inclusions in the steel, and obtaining molten steel with required chemical composition, temperature meeting the requirements of continuous casting, and high cleanliness.

[0031] Billet heating: including preheating, heating and soaking three stages, billet hot charging or cold charging to the rolling heating furnace, when billet hot charging, the preheating temperature is 600-800℃, the heating temperature is 1170-1210℃, further preferably 1180-1200℃, the soaking temperature is 1160-1200℃, further preferably 1170-1190℃, and the total heating time is ≥70 min; when billet cold charging, the preheating temperature is 500-700℃, the heating temperature is 1180-1220℃, further preferably 1190-1210℃, the soaking temperature is 1170-1210℃, further preferably 1180-1200℃, and the total heating time is ≥80 min.

[0032] The billet heating temperature is relatively high and the heating time is relatively long for the 500 MPa grade steel bar, so as to promote the alloy elements such as Nb and V to be fully solid-solved into austenite, and to play the roles of preventing grain growth, refining grains, precipitation strengthening and phase transformation strengthening during subsequent rolling deformation and phase transformation.

[0033] Rolling: including three stages of rough rolling, intermediate rolling and finish rolling, the rough rolling opening rolling temperature ranges from 1080 to 1130℃, and after the rough rolling and intermediate rolling, the finish rolling inlet temperature is controlled at 900-1000℃ by using a water cooling device.

[0034] Post-rolling cooling: the steel bar temperature on the cooling bed after finish rolling is controlled at 900-980℃ by using a water cooling device, and is further preferably controlled at 920-980℃, and the cooling speed of the steel bar on the cooling bed ranges from 2.5 to 7℃ / s.

[0035] The finish rolling inlet temperature is controlled at 900-1000℃, so as to promote V and Nb to partially precipitate carbonitride to drag the grain boundary movement, to inhibit the recrystallization and recovery of deformed austenite at high temperature, and to refine the original austenite grains. The steel bar temperature on the cooling bed after rolling ranges from 900 to 980℃, and the cooling speed on the cooling bed ranges from 2.5 to 7℃ / s, so as to avoid the formation of harmful martensite when the temperature on the cooling bed is too low and the cooling speed is too fast, to promote the precipitation of fine and dispersed vanadium carbonitride and niobium carbonitride, to inhibit the nucleation and growth of ferrite through the dragging effect of Nb on the phase interface, to delay the γ→α transformation, to promote the formation of more pearlite, and to form a small amount of bainite, and finally to form a fine-grained ferrite, pearlite and a small amount of bainite structure, wherein the ferrite grain size is 10.5-12, the proportion of pearlite structure is ≥45%, and the proportion of bainite structure is 2%-5%, so as to obtain a fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar.

[0036] Rolling: the split rolling or single-line rolling can be adopted, the split rolling is one of two-split, three-split, four-split or five-split, and the temperature deviation of the steel bar on the cooling bed after the split rolling is not greater than 20℃.

[0037] The fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar prepared by the method has the mechanical properties of yield strength R eL ≥640MPa, tensile strength R m ≥815MPa, maximum total elongation A gt ≥10%, the ratio of the measured tensile strength to the measured yield strength R o m / R o eL ≥1.25, the ratio of the measured yield strength to the yield strength characteristic value R o eL / R eL ≤1.30.

[0038] It can be seen that the embodiment of the present application provides a 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar and a preparation method thereof, through adopting the component design of adding V and Nb composite micro-alloying, precisely controlling the proportion of V, Nb element and N content, using the solid solution, precipitation, grain refinement and phase transformation strengthening means of V and Nb, a 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar with yield strength ≥ 640MPa, tensile strength ≥ 815MPa, maximum force total elongation ≥ 10%, the ratio of measured tensile strength to measured yield strength ≥ 1.25, the ratio of measured yield strength to yield strength characteristic value ≤ 1.30, and ferrite grain size of 10.5-12 grade is prepared.

[0039] The preparation method of the above 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar adopts the following process route: converter smelting→argon station bottom blowing gas stirring→LF furnace refining→continuous casting→steel billet heating→rolling and post-rolling cooling. The steel billet can be hot charged or cold charged to the steel rolling heating furnace, the heating section temperature when the steel billet is hot charged is 1170-1210℃, the soaking section temperature is 1160-1200℃, and the total heating time is ≥ 70min, the steel billet cold charging heating and soaking temperature is 10℃ higher than that when hot charged, and the heating time is 10min longer, so as to promote the alloy elements such as Nb and V to be fully solid-solved into austenite; the finish rolling inlet temperature is 900-1000℃, so as to promote V and Nb to partially precipitate carbonitride to pin rolling dislocation and drag grain boundary movement, inhibit the recrystallization and recovery of deformed austenite at high temperature, and refine the original austenite grain; the temperature range of the steel bar on the cooling bed after finish rolling is controlled by the water cooling device to be 900-980℃, and the cooling speed of the steel bar on the cooling bed is 2.5-7℃ / s, which is beneficial to promote the precipitation of fine and dispersed vanadium carbonitride and niobium carbonitride, inhibit the ferrite nucleation and growth, delay the γ→α transformation, form more pearlite and a small amount of bainite, the proportion of pearlite structure is ≥ 45%, the proportion of bainite structure is 2%-5%, the strength and toughness of the steel are improved, and the anti-seismic performance of the steel is improved.

[0040] The features and performances of the present application are further described in detail in combination with the embodiments.

[0041] The embodiment of the present application provides a 640MPa grade fine-grained high-strength and high-toughness anti-seismic steel bar, and the mass percentage of the chemical components of the steel is as follows: C 0.19%-0.28%, Si 0.55%-0.80%, Mn 1.35%-1.60%, V 0.10%-0.18%, Nb 0.01%-0.025%, P ≤ 0.045%, S ≤ 0.045%, N 0.0132%-0.0337%, T.O ≤ 0.0030%, the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities, meanwhile, the carbon equivalent Ceq ≤ 0.58% and 5.75 ≤ (V+0.55Nb) / N ≤ 8 need to be met.
