Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of stainless steel plate processing, in particular to a straightening method and control system for stainless steel sheet. BACKGROUND

[0002] The stainless steel plate processing flow is to perform slab heating, rolling, solid solution heat treatment, straightening, shot blasting, pickling, grinding and packaging and other processes. The solid solution heat treatment, straightening, shot blasting and other processes determine the unevenness of the ordinary austenitic stainless steel plate. The flatness of the stainless steel is usually specified in the factory standard or technical agreement. For example, the austenitic stainless steel plate with a thin specification thickness of ≤10 mm is generally required to have a flatness of ≤5 mm / m at delivery. However, after solid solution heat treatment and quenching, the flatness of the austenitic stainless steel plate with a thin specification thickness of ≤10 mm is 10-30 mm / m. After straightening, the flatness of some steel plates is about 6-10 mm / m. However, after pickling, the stress is released again, and the flatness rebounds to a certain extent, which cannot meet the standard and user requirements, resulting in multiple and re-straightening problems, and low straightening qualification rate.

[0003] Currently, there are mainly two kinds of process methods for straightening process quality related pressure processing:

[0004] The first kind is to sequentially perform slab heating, rolling, solid solution heat treatment, straightening, shot blasting, pickling, grinding, packaging and other processes on the austenitic stainless steel plate with a thickness of ≤10 mm. The solid solution heat treatment and straightening process adopt a roller bottom type heat treatment furnace and a roller bottom type quenching machine. The solid solution heat treatment, straightening process and shot blasting process determine the unevenness of the austenitic stainless steel plate with a specification thickness of ≤10 mm and the quality of the upper and lower surfaces. After solid solution heat treatment and quenching, the flatness of some steel plates is 10-15 mm / m. The main defects are C-shaped bending of the head (tail) of the steel plate, head and tail warping of the steel plate, and head and tail denting of the steel plate. These defects occur in the range of 0-300 mm of the head and tail of the steel plate. At the same time, this method usually adopts a four-fold 9-roller straightening machine. The number of straightening rollers of this straightening machine is 5 upper rollers and 6 lower rollers, and it also includes guide rollers. The steel plate advances in the forward direction on the track. When the steel plate enters the straightening machine, the long axis of the steel plate is perpendicular to the length direction of the straightening rollers. The principle of the multi-roller type steel plate straightening machine leads to the fact that the above-mentioned defects are difficult to straighten at one time and need to be straightened multiple times. In addition, this process is to straighten first and then shot blast. Due to multiple straightening, defects such as pitted surface, pitted point and scratch are caused on the surface of the steel plate during the actual straightening process. These defects are exposed in the subsequent pickling process, which increases the workload of the grinding process and also increases the re-pickling rate of the steel plate.

[0005] The second method involves sequentially heating, rolling, solution heat treatment, straightening, shot blasting, pickling, grinding, and packaging austenitic stainless steel plates with a thickness ≤10mm. The solution heat treatment process, online water cooling for quenching, straightening, and shot blasting determine the flatness and surface quality of the thin-gauge austenitic stainless steel plates with a thickness ≤10mm. After solution heat treatment and quenching, some plates have a flatness of 10-50mm / m. The main defects are C-shaped bending at the head (tail), curling at the head and tail, and tapping at the head and tail, similar to the first processing method. The principle of existing multi-roller steel plate straightening machines makes it difficult to straighten these defects in one pass. Furthermore, this process involves straightening before shot blasting, resulting in multiple straightening operations that cause surface defects such as pitting, scratches, and roughness. These defects are exposed during the subsequent pickling process, increasing the workload of the grinding process and raising the re-acidification rate of the steel plate.

[0006] Therefore, a straightening method is needed for thin austenitic stainless steel plates with a thickness of ≤10mm to effectively improve the first-pass yield of the straightening process. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Preferably, in the S4, a centering device is installed on the straightening machine transmission roller table, which is used to adjust the angle of the plate, so that the length direction of the plate is at a certain angle with the length direction of the roller table.

[0018] Preferably, when the thickness h of the plate is 7

[0019] Preferably, when the thickness h of the plate is 8

[0034] Example 1

[0035] Depend on Figures 1-2 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for straightening a stainless steel sheet, including:

[0036] S1: Heat the slab and then roll the heated slab.

[0037] S2: The rolled sheet is subjected to solution heat treatment and then quenched in water;

[0038] S3: The plate material after water quenching is shot blasted;

[0039] S4: The length direction of the shot-blasted plate is at a certain angle to the length direction of the roller conveyor before entering the straightening machine for straightening.

[0040] S5: After straightening, the plate is pickled and ground.

[0041] The quenching process after the solution heat treatment in step S2 adopts the way of spraying and water tank cooling, the temperature of the quenched plate is controlled by the time of the plate passing through the spraying area and in the water tank, and the unevenness of the quenched plate is controlled, after quenching, the temperature of the plate is ≤150℃, and the unevenness is ≤30mm / m, which provides guarantee for the smooth passing of the plate through the shot blasting process, and the shot blasting process in step S3 specifically uses high-carbon steel shot, and the shot type is S280, and the plate smoothness after shot blasting is ASa2.5.

[0042] The centering device is installed on the straightening machine transmission roller way in step S4, and is used to adjust the angle of the plate, so that the length direction of the plate is at a certain angle with the length direction of the roller way, and the angle is related to the thickness of the plate:

The control information is then transmitted to the control module 11. The control module 11 controls the centering device to adjust the angle between the length direction of the sheet material and the length direction of the roller conveyor according to the control information. The operation is simple and the adjustment accuracy is high.

The control system adjusts the plate position according to the plate size data using a centering device, making the plate length direction form a 15-20° angle with the overall roller conveyor length direction for straightening. After straightening, subsequent pickling and inspection (grinding) are performed. Using the above processing method, the first-pass yield of the straightening process is increased by 18%.
