[0003] The 1# line of Baotou Steel Long Material Plant is a high-speed wire rod production plant, and the main rolling mill equipment is the Morgan fifth-generation rolling mill introduced from Morgan, which includes pre-finishing mill, finishing mill, pinch roll and wire laying machine, etc. The 1# line of Baotou Steel Long Material Plant is matched with Danieletto reducing sizing mill set after finishing mill in 2020, but there is a problem of controlled cooling connection between Morgan fifth-generation rolling mill and Danieletto reducing sizing mill. It is necessary to study the coordinated control of the two kinds of rolling mills to ensure that the rolling line can realize low-temperature high-speed controlled rolling of wire rod after adopting Danieletto reducing sizing mill set, and can produce low-alloy component deformed steel bar to achieve the purpose of reducing alloy cost. In order to obtain HRB400E hot rolled deformed steel bar with high quality and good stability, a simple and easy-to-operate micro-alloyed HRB400E steel bar controlled rolling and controlled cooling production process with stable product performance needs to be designed to obtain products with strong competitiveness in specifications, yield, quality and performance.

[0021] A wire rod Morgan rolling mill is matched with a DanieI reducing sizing mill, and a HRB400E steel grade controlled rolling and controlled cooling method, comprising:

[0022] A 150mmx150mmx12000mm continuous casting billet is used as raw material, and a Φ8-16mm disc screw is rolled. The chemical composition of the continuous casting billet before and after the process adjustment is shown in Table 1.

[0023] Table 1 HRB400E chemical composition before and after process adjustment

[0024]

[0025]

[0026] The HRB400E steel bar rolling process flow is as follows:

[0027] Continuous casting billet acceptance and feeding→steel billet heating→high-pressure water descaling→rough rolling mill rolling→intermediate rolling mill rolling→pre-precision rolling mill rolling→precision rolling mill rolling→reducing sizing mill rolling→controlled water cooling→diameter gauge→wire feeder→stelmor roller cooling→coiling→trimming and surface quality inspection→packing→weighing→labeling→warehousing.

[0028] The HRB400E steel grade controlled rolling and controlled cooling method of the wire rod Morgan rolling mill matched with the DanieI reducing sizing mill is as follows:

[0029] 1. The heating furnace heating section temperature range is 1120-1180℃, the soaking section temperature range is 1140-1160℃, and the furnace time is 86 minutes. The purpose is to eliminate the as-cast organization segregation, dissolve the carbide and homogenize the austenite, while avoiding high heating temperature and long heating time, which leads to coarse austenite grains.

[0030] 2. The opening rolling temperature is controlled at 980±30℃; the purpose is to make the austenite grains not too coarse, to lay a good foundation for grain size control in subsequent rolling, and to improve the product performance.

[0031] 3. The precision rolling inlet temperature is controlled at 860-900℃; the diffusion speed of carbon in austenite is reduced under low temperature rolling, the carbon precipitation amount in austenite is reduced, fine pearlite interlamellar spacing and fine ferrite structure can be obtained, and the strength and toughness of the product are significantly improved.

[0032] 4. The reducing sizing mill inlet temperature is controlled at 800-840℃; rolling in the two-phase zone can cause dynamic recrystallization of ferrite, carbon is washed out in the form of fine carbide due to the enrichment of carbon in the austenite in the two-phase zone, and fine ferrite and pearlite mixture is obtained, thereby improving the strength and toughness of the deformed steel bar.

[0033] 5. The wire drawing temperature is controlled at 900-920℃, a group of water boxes is opened for pre-water cooling section before finish rolling, four groups of water boxes are opened for water cooling section after finish rolling, which can be adjusted according to the wire drawing temperature. The cooling water pressure of the finish rolling mill train is controlled between 4.5-4.8kPa;

[0034] 6. The fan is fully closed to avoid the large difference between the cooling speeds of the lap joint and the non-lap joint, thereby causing the performance fluctuation of the disc screw same circle, and finally obtaining stable mechanical properties. The Stelmor line roller speed setting is shown in the following table:
