TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of stainless steel production, in particular to a cold-rolled nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel is an economical stainless steel product with single austenitic structure at room temperature, which is formed by increasing manganese and nitrogen elements on the basis of traditional austenitic stainless steel 304 to save the cost and reduce the addition amount of noble metal nickel. Nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel has excellent mechanical properties, certain corrosion resistance, good heat resistance and low temperature strength, and therefore has been increasingly concerned in recent years, and new varieties are continuously developed. However, nickel-saving stainless steel is prone to cracking during forming, which directly affects the application of nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel.
[0003] The nickel-saving austenitic stainless steel produced by the conventional process has high hardness, and the thinner the thickness of the 2B (a code for the surface quality of stainless steel plate) product is, the higher the hardness is. High hardness increases the risk of cracking during downstream forming processing, affecting the yield rate.
[0004] It is found by comparing different cold rolling processes that the hardness of the 2B product by reciprocating rolling is lower than that by continuous rolling, and increasing the cold rolling annealing temperature and reducing the furnace zone speed can also reduce the hardness. SUMMARY

[0019] When the steel plate thickness is ≤0.60 mm, the steel plate temperature is 900-1000℃, and the steel plate running speed is 100-140 mpm;
[0020] When 0.60 mm < steel plate thickness ≤0.70 mm, the steel plate temperature is 910-1010℃, and the steel plate running speed is 95-135 mpm;
[0021] When 0.70 mm < steel plate thickness ≤0.80 mm, the steel plate temperature is 920-1020℃, and the steel plate running speed is 90-130 mpm;
[0022] When 0.80 mm < steel plate thickness ≤0.90 mm, the steel plate temperature is 930-1030℃, and the steel plate running speed is 85-125 mpm.
