Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of alloy materials, more particularly, it relates to a medium-carbon non-rounding steel and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The medium-carbon non-rounding steel contains 0.36-0.40% of carbon, 0.50-0.65% of silicon, 1.30-1.55% of manganese, 0.013-0.020% of nitrogen, 0.04-0.055% of sulfur, and ≤0.02% of vanadium and ≤0.01% of titanium. The steel is based on medium-carbon manganese steel, and vanadium, titanium and nitrogen trace elements are added to make them dissolve in austenite during heating. The solid solubility of vanadium, titanium and nitrogen in austenite decreases with cooling. The trace elements vanadium, titanium and nitrogen are precipitated in the first-precipitated ferrite and pearlite in the form of fine carbide nitrides. The medium-carbon non-rounding steel is commonly used for hot forged parts (such as crankshafts, connecting rods, etc.).

[0003] The medium-carbon non-rounding steel is used for forged parts such as crankshafts and connecting rods, and the surface quality of the round steel is required to be high, and the surface defect depth of the round steel is required to be ≤0.2mm. However, due to unreasonable production process control, stress cracks are easily generated on the surface of the round steel, resulting in a leakage magnetic preliminary exploration qualified rate of less than 60%. For the defect material of the leakage magnetic preliminary exploration, finishing grinding wheel peeling is required to rescue. When the depth of the stress crack is serious, it will exceed 0.5mm. The peeling diameter reduction amount of the original grinding wheel peeling process can only reach 0.3mm each time, and the defect material with a defect depth of less than 0.5mm can be rescued only after two times of grinding wheel peeling. The peeling efficiency is low, the finishing cycle is long, the finishing delivery period of the product is affected, the defect material with a defect depth greater than 0.5mm can only be scrapped due to the fact that the grinding size cannot meet the size tolerance requirement, and the scrap rate reaches 12%, which affects the metal yield rate and increases the production cost. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The present application will be described in detail below in combination with examples.

[0023] The present application provides a manufacturing method of medium-carbon non-rounding steel, comprising the following steps:

[0024] S1, slow cooling of the billet: the temperature of the billet entering the slow cooling pit is greater than or equal to 600℃, the slow cooling time is greater than or equal to 24 hours, and the temperature of the billet before entering the heating furnace is greater than or equal to 300℃; the slow cooling time is not less than 24 hours, which is beneficial to the stress release of the continuous casting billet, and the temperature of the billet before entering the heating furnace is greater than or equal to 300℃, which can prevent the billet from generating new thermal stress in the preheating section;

[0025] In the existing old process, the temperature of the billet entering the heating furnace is not clearly specified, and the temperature of the billet entering the heating furnace is lower than 300℃, the temperature of the billet entering the furnace is low, and the billet will generate new thermal stress in the preheating process in the heating furnace;

[0026] S2, the continuous casting billet (specification 320*425*9000) enters the walking beam furnace for heating, the second heating temperature is 1200-1250℃, and the soaking temperature is 1150±20℃, and the second heating temperature higher than the soaking temperature is beneficial to the uniformity of heating and reduces the generation of thermal stress;

[0027] In the existing old process, the second heating temperature and the soaking temperature are not controlled, and the second heating temperature is lower than the soaking temperature;

[0028] S3, the billet after completing heating is descaled by high-pressure water, the descaling pressure is 18±1MPa, and the stress cracks generated when the cooling water cools the surface of the billet during the descaling process are reduced;

[0029] In the existing old process, the descaling pressure of high-pressure water is controlled at 23MPa;

[0030] S4. The descaled steel billet is rough rolled by a two-roll reversible rolling mill (φ1100×2500) using a large reduction rolling process. The rolling process is repeated 11 times to obtain a rolled piece with a size of 205×205. During the rolling process, the cooling water flow rate is controlled at 110-130m³ / h to reduce stress cracks generated during the cooling process of the rolled piece.

[0031] In the existing old process, the flow rate of cooling water is controlled at 190-210 m³ / h. During the cooling process of the rolled workpiece, stress cracks are easily generated by the cooling water.

[0032] S5. After rough rolling, the workpiece is cut off by a hydraulic shearing head with a head length greater than or equal to 100mm and a tail length greater than or equal to 100mm to remove end defects of the workpiece.

[0033] S6. The rolled piece enters the intermediate rolling process. The six continuous rolling mills in the intermediate rolling mill are all arranged alternately in a horizontal and vertical configuration. The rolling mill consists of φ750×6, all of which are fifth-generation short-stress rolling mills. The rolling temperature is greater than or equal to 850℃, and round steel is obtained. The round steel specification is Φ110mm ≤ Φ220mm. The finished product dimensional tolerance is controlled according to the upper limit positive tolerance of the second group of national standards.

[0034] S7. After intermediate rolling, the round steel is cut into multiple length sections by No. 1 flying shear. The maximum shearing section of No. 1 flying shear is Φ142mm, the shearing temperature is greater than or equal to 850℃, Φ132mm < round steel specification ≤ Φ142mm, round steel specification ≤ Φ110mm, head length is greater than or equal to 100mm, tail length is greater than or equal to 100mm, and head and tail defects are removed.

[0035] S8. Round steel enters the finishing rolling process. The finishing rolling mill has four continuous rolling stands, all of which are arranged alternately in a horizontal and vertical configuration. The mill consists of φ550×4, all of which are fifth-generation short-stress mills. The rolling temperature is greater than or equal to 850℃. The round steel specification is Φ70mm ≤ Φ105mm. The finished product dimensional tolerance is controlled according to the upper limit positive tolerance of the second group of national standards.

[0036] S9. After precision rolling, the round steel is cut into multiple length sections by No. 2 flying shear. The maximum shearing section of No. 2 flying shear is Φ132mm and the shearing temperature is greater than or equal to 50℃. When the round steel specification is ≤φ132mm, the No. 2 flying shear is used for multiple length sectioning.

[0037] S10, Grouping: Group the flying shear multiple rulers;

[0038] S11. Three Φ1800mm metal saws (saw #1, mobile saw, and saw #2) are used to cut round steel into sections at a cutting temperature of 700-850℃.

[0039] S12. The fully sawn round steel bars are placed on a cooling bed for air cooling and straightening.

[0040] S13, Online chamfering;

[0041] S14. Bundling, weighing, and warehousing;

[0042] S15, straightened, flawed, with a magnetic leakage of 0.2mm, qualified round steel is bundled and put into storage;

[0043] S16. For substandard round steel, perform abrasive wheel peeling. Specifically, use a φ180 twelve-head round steel peeling machine with a φ500×100×203 grinding wheel to peel the defective material from magnetic flux leakage testing. The peeling diameter reduction is 0.6mm, and the peeling is performed once. A new peeling process is adopted.

[0044] (1) The number of grinding heads used is 10-12;

[0045] (2) Grinding wheel usage: Grinding heads #1-4 use #16 grinding wheels, grinding heads #5-12 use #24 grinding wheels; grinding heads #1-4 use #16 grinding wheels, #16 coarse grinding wheels increase grinding amount, grinding heads #5-12 use #24 grinding wheels, #24 fine grinding wheels ensure surface quality.

[0046] (3) The grinding head speed is 1450 rpm;

[0047] (4) The main drive speed is 750 rpm (±50 rpm), which will be adjusted according to the peeling quality and grinding amount.

[0048] (5) The grinding head current is 20-25A, of which the current of grinding heads #1 and #12 is controlled at 18A;

[0049] (6) Grinding head pressure: The 12 grinding heads are divided into three groups. Grinding heads 1-4# are in one group with a pressure of 0.25MPa; grinding heads 5-8# are in the second group with a pressure of 0.2MPa; grinding heads 9-12# are in the third group with a pressure of 0.15MPa.

[0050] The grinding head pressure can be adjusted between 0.1 and 0.30 MPa. A good grinding amount and surface quality can be obtained between 0.1 and 0.2 MPa. If the grinding head pressure exceeds 0.3 MPa, the grinding head will bounce up and down, significantly affecting surface quality, resulting in scratches (24# grit grinding head) and a roughness greater than Ra12.5 μm. If the grinding head pressure is less than 0.1 MPa, the pressure is insufficient to meet the grinding head's downward pressure, preventing normal production. During production, the pressure is kept constant and not adjusted. High pressure in the initial grinding stage ensures the grinding amount, while slightly lower pressure in the subsequent stage ensures surface quality.

[0051] The existing peeling process is as follows: 7-8 grinding heads are used; all grinding wheels are 24# grinding wheels; the grinding head speed is 800-1450 rpm; the main drive speed is 1000 rpm, which is adjusted according to the peeling quality; the grinding head current is below 20A and above 17A; the pressure of each grinding head is adjusted between 0.1-0.30 MPa, but there are no specific regulations for the pressure of each grinding head.

[0052] This invention improves the diameter reduction of round steel by increasing the number of grinding heads, rationally using grinding wheel grit, controlling grinding speed, grinding current, and the speed at which round steel passes through the steel profile. The diameter reduction is increased from 0.3mm to 0.6mm.

[0053] S17. Re-test the peeled and ground round steel bars. If the magnetic leakage is 0.2mm, the qualified round steel bars are bundled and put into storage.

[0054] This invention reduces surface stress cracks in round steel and improves the initial magnetic flux leakage test pass rate by adopting a series of process improvement measures, including controlling the temperature of the billet during slow cooling into the heating furnace, ensuring the secondary heating temperature of the heating furnace is higher than the homogenization temperature, reducing the pressure of high-pressure water descaling, and reducing the amount of cooling water for the rolls. During rolling, the finished product is controlled according to the national standard group two positive tolerances, increasing the allowance for grinding and peeling, and reducing the scrap rate of round steel. Simultaneously, the grinding wheel peeling process is optimized, including the grinding wheel grit size, grinding speed, grinding current, and the number of grinding wheels used, increasing the diameter reduction per peeling from 0.3mm to 0.6mm, and reducing the number of peeling operations from two to one, thus improving peeling efficiency, shortening the finishing cycle, and ensuring the finished product delivery time. This invention can be widely applied in similar production lines for special steel.

[0055] The technical solution of the present invention will be illustrated below through specific embodiments and comparative examples.

[0056] Taking the production of φ100mm round bars from medium carbon non-adjustable steel continuous casting billets as an example, 25 medium carbon non-adjustable round steel continuous casting billets are selected, with billet serial numbers numbered 1-25. The billets are 320mm×425mm×9000mm in size. The 25 medium carbon non-adjustable steel continuous casting billets with good surface quality are divided into 5 groups, with 5 billets in each group.
