Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a production process for DC04 steel for high surface area deep drawing. Background Technology

[0002] The cold rolling area of ​​Baosteel uses an EBNER high-convection all-hydrogen protective gas single-stack bell-type furnace to directly recrystallize and brighten cold-rolled coils. No degreasing treatment is performed before annealing. After annealing, the grade of DC04 steel is downgraded by 50% due to adhesion defects during the leveling process. The grayish-white oxide color defect on the edges of annealed DC04 steel cannot be completely eliminated. The performance of DC04 steel coils is unstable at both ends; the required pressure is 130-175 MPa, but the actual pressure is 180-195 MPa. DC04 steel coils experience stamping cracking during use. Controlling the amount of surface anti-rust oil applied is one of the contributing factors. Ensuring the correct amount of oil applied for stamping while avoiding environmental contamination with anti-rust oil is a key control point in the production of this steel grade.

[0003] Literature review: The article "Analysis of Optimization and Control of Production Process of DC04 Cold-Rolled Strip Steel" by Tian Shizhang mainly analyzes the pickling, cold rolling, annealing, and leveling processes. During cold rolling, the strip reduction rate is controlled at 55%–90%. In the annealing process, the grain size of deep-drawing steel is generally controlled at level 6–8, but the annealing temperature differs from this process. The elongation rate of DC04 during leveling is controlled at (0.7±0.1)%, which is significantly different from this process. However, it does not elaborate on the key control points of the recoiling unit. The article "Trial Production of DC04 Cold-Rolled Deep-Drawing Steel" by Hu Honglin and Ma Xiaojuan discusses the hot rolling and cold rolling processes, but does not discuss the relevant rolling parameters. During production, grayish-white oxide defects appear on the edges, and after the leveling process, the grade is reduced by 50% due to adhesion defects. The performance of the steel coil head and tail is unstable, requiring 130-175 MPa, but actually reaching 180-195 MPa. The paper "Practice to Reduce Adhesion Defects in Cold-Rolled Coils" by Zhao Aiwei mainly analyzes the effects of coiling tension, surface roughness, post-rolled strip straightness, strip convexity, and post-rolling cooling on adhesion, without quantitative research. The paper "Control of Surface Oxidation Defects in Cold-Rolled Phosphorus-Containing IF High-Strength Steel Strip" by Luo Xiaoyang, Wang Jin, Zhao Xiaolong, and Zhang Liang discusses the annealing atmosphere and the need to add higher levels of Mn alloying elements to the steel, which falls under the category of routine production. Mn alloying elements are essential for steel coils, but the paper does not elaborate on key control parameters. The paper "Exploration of the Causes and Prevention Measures of Oxidation Color in Bell-Type Annealed Steel Coils" by Li Xiaoxiao analyzes the equipment and process of bell-type annealing furnaces and the incoming materials, which falls under the category of routine oxidation color control. However, the feasibility of control measures for the grayish-white oxidation color defect on the edges of deep-drawing DC04 steel is insufficient. Among the aforementioned influencing factors, the main influencing factors within the controllable range of cold rolling mills include: rolling process (strip surface roughness and cleanliness, coiling tension, sheet shape control, etc.), annealing process, and leveling process, but the relevant technical indicators are unclear. Summary of the Invention

[0031] (2) Before producing special steel grades, the pickling unit should replace the acid with 60-80 ml of fresh acid 4 hours in advance. 3 Ensure that the HCl content of the acid solution in acid tank #1 is ≥50g / L and the iron ion content is ≤100g / L, and prevent the occurrence of under-acid washing.

[0032] (3) The outlet temperature of the filter in the No. 1 rinsing tank is 60℃~80℃, the conductivity of the rinsing water in the No. 2 rinsing tank is ≤100us / cm, the opening of the rinsing water replenishment valve is increased by 25%~40% compared with ordinary steel, all the surface and operating condition of the squeeze rollers must be intact, and the roller surface is not allowed to have serious wear, adhesion, scratches, peeling, or heat damage defects, and there must be no blockage during operation;

[0033] (4) The reduction rate of DC04 is controlled at 78-82%;

[0034] (5) In addition to conventional parameter control, the main control of the rolling mill unit is to control the residual emulsion on the surface of the strip steel, and at the same time make full preparations for the annealing of the bell furnace unit.

[0035] The previous shift before production ensured that all parameters of the rolling mill's emulsion were met. Emulsion A system: concentration target 2%, saponification value 140-160 mg / g, impurity oil content ≤20%, iron powder content ≤200 ppm, emulsion temperature requirement: 50~60℃, pH value requirement:

[0044] The bell-type furnace annealing process uses full hydrogen annealing, and the temperature of the steel coil exiting the furnace must not exceed 100℃;

[0045] (1) Reduce overflow edge defects of steel coils and optimize stacking methods: For steel coils with a thickness of less than 0.45 mm, overflow edge defects are not allowed when loading them into the furnace. However, if overflow edge defects occur, they should be handled according to the actual overflow edge situation of the steel coil. For defective coils with overflow edge greater than 10 mm, they should be leveled and repaired before being loaded into the furnace for annealing. For slight overflow edge defects, thin convection plates should be used for stacking to increase the contact area between the convection plate and the strip steel and reduce the unit extrusion pressure of the steel coil. Through experiments, it was found that after loading the furnace with thin convection plates, the edge adhesion of slight overflow edge defects was significantly reduced. For defective coils with overflow edge exceeding 10 mm on one side, the steel coil should be placed on the top layer with the overflow edge facing upward.

[0052] (2) During the production of leveling, the belt threading speed is 15m / min, and the speed is directly increased to 600-700m / min at the end. The tail speed is directly reduced from high speed to tail speed of 30m / min, and there should be no pause in the middle.

[0053] (3) The leveling unit uses rolls with a roughness of 2.5±0.1μm for rolling, and the surface roughness of the steel coil after rolling is controlled to 0.8-1.3μm;

[0054] IX. Process Control Design of Rewinding Unit:

[0055] (1) All steel coils with a thickness at the beginning and end that is 0.015 mm less than the target thickness are cut off;

[0056] (2) Before production, wipe the roller system and use ordinary SPCC steel for at least 40 tons;

[0057] (3) The amount of oil applied to the upper and lower surfaces should be controlled to 1.3-1.5 g / m². 2 .

[0058] Using the method of this invention, DC04 steel grade was successfully trial-produced, completely eliminating surface edge oxidation defects and central adhesion defects. Its performance meets delivery requirements, and customers have reported positive results.

[0103] (2) During the production of leveling, the belt threading speed is 15m / min, and the speed is directly increased to 600-700m / min at the end. The tail speed is directly reduced from high speed to tail speed of 30m / min, and there should be no pause in the middle.

[0111] 1.2 When judging hot-rolled coils, the shape control chart must be consulted. The wedge shape < crown ≤ 40μm. If the pickling unit finds obvious rib defects with annular bulges on the steel coils when accepting raw materials, the specifications must be modified.

[0112] 1.3 If a defect of rib formation is found in the rolling mill unit, an emergency response should be taken in time. That is, the bell furnace should be notified to place the steel coil on the top layer, and the cooling time with the heating hood should be increased by 1 to 2 hours.

[0113] 1.4 The slab shape should be controlled according to the micro-double-sided wave control, and the presence of medium waves is strictly prohibited. The standard control curve A2 control coefficient of the slab shape instrument is set to +4 (suitable for widths from 930 to 1250 mm).

In severe cases, the coil shall be flattened, re-coiled, and then loaded into the furnace for annealing.

[0127] 6.2 For minor overflow edge defects, thin convection plates should be stacked to increase the contact area between the convection plates and the strip steel and reduce the extrusion pressure on the steel coil. Through experiments, it was found that after using thin convection plates to load the furnace for minor overflow edge defects, edge adhesion was significantly reduced.

[0128] 6.3 For single-sided overflow defects, the steel coil can be placed on the top layer with the overflow side facing upwards.
