Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a preparation method of MnB system hot-rolled narrow strip steel. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hot-rolled narrow strip steel is not only directly consumed as a sheet, narrow strip steel, but also used as a raw material for cold-rolled sheet, welded pipe, cold-formed steel and other products, and is widely used in the fields of construction, light industry, machinery, textile, automobile, electronics, agricultural machinery and the like. At present, the variety, specification and application field of the narrow strip steel products in China are relatively narrow, and the size precision, surface quality and microstructure performance and other indexes are not high. In recent years, the equipment level of the hot-rolled wide strip steel rolling mill in China is continuously improved, the production scale is gradually expanded, and the production develops very fast. However, compared with the narrow strip, the production cost is relatively high, and there are different views on whether the narrow strip product should be eliminated. If the characteristics of the narrow strip steel, such as small size, fullness, low cost and variety, can be fully utilized, and the purpose of developing new products, improving quality and expanding new fields is achieved, through necessary technical reform measures and reasonable adjustment of product structure, the narrow strip steel product will coexist with the wide strip steel for a long time. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the product quality for the survival of the narrow strip steel industry.

[0003] The alloy steel MnB system is a material widely used in key components such as automobile door lock system, safety system and driving system. The narrow strip steel product needs to go through multiple processes such as pickling, cold rolling and stamping forming, and the product has high requirements on banded structure level, decarburization layer depth and purity.

[0004] Banded structure is a structure morphology formed by stacking the banded structure of pro-eutectoid ferrite and the banded structure of pearlite in the rolling direction of the steel, including primary banded structure and secondary banded structure. The primary banded structure is mainly caused by the dendritic segregation due to the selection and crystallization in the pouring process, and the secondary banded structure is mainly affected by the cooling process after rolling. The banded structure makes the transverse plasticity and toughness of the steel decrease, and has an influence on the hardness uniformity of the steel. In the subsequent heat treatment process, the banded structure is prone to deformation and other adverse consequences. The existence of the banded structure makes the microstructure of the steel uneven, and has an adverse effect on the plasticity, impact toughness and section shrinkage of the steel. Therefore, reducing the banded structure level is of great significance to the subsequent processing and use of the product.

[0005] The surface decarburization layer, especially the full decarburization layer, can greatly affect the fatigue life of the product. For the narrow strip steel product, the surface decarburization layer will seriously restrict the utilization rate of the cut edge of the finished strip steel. If the initial decarburization layer of the strip steel is serious, the strip steel needs to increase the cut edge amount after cold rolling and heat treatment to ensure the product quality, which will reduce the effective utilization rate of the material.

[0006] For MnB hot-rolled narrow strip steel, there is almost no one to study the improvement of cleanliness, the reduction of banded structure level, the control of decarburization layer, etc., therefore, it is particularly crucial to explore the exclusive preparation method of MnB hot-rolled narrow strip steel.
