AI Technical Summary
Clustered linear defects appear on the surface of cold heading steel wire rod, leading to cracking, which is difficult to control effectively with existing technology.
A large-bevel crystallizer and a slow-drawing speed with weak cooling are used to produce continuously cast billets, increasing the radius of the square billet's fillet. Rolling guides are used instead of sliding guides during rough rolling to improve corner cooling and clamping stability of the rolled piece.
It effectively eliminates clustered straight defects on the surface of cold heading steel wire rod, prevents corner tearing of rolled parts, and improves production quality.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of steel product development, and relates to a control method for linear defects on the surface of cold heading steel wire rods. BACKGROUND
[0002] Linear defects are a kind of defects on the surface of cold heading steel wire rods, and are one of the main reasons causing cold heading cracking. When cold heading steel is used to produce wire rods by using 150mm*150mm small square billets, straight linear surface quality defects in a cluster often appear on the surface of the wire rods. After the semi-finished products and the continuous casting billets in the production process are immersed in industrial hydrochloric acid, the surface quality of the continuous casting billets is normal, fine crack defects appear on the corner of the rolled piece in the first rack of rough rolling, a plurality of parallel short linear defects in a cluster appear on the corner of the rolled piece in the second rack of rough rolling, and a plurality of parallel straight linear defects in a cluster appear on the surface of the round rolled piece in the sixth rack of rough rolling.
[0003] The prior art produces 150mm*150mm section small square billets by using a continuous casting machine, the chamfer of the crystallizer is R8mm, the water volume of the crystallizer is 2050-3000L / min, the specific water volume of the second cooling is 0.8L / kg, the drawing speed is 2.6-2.7m / min, the round corner radius of the small square billet is small, the small square billet is subjected to strong cooling at a high speed, the round corner of the small square billet is rapidly cooled and blackened, and sometimes transverse drawing cracks appear. The small square billet needs to be subjected to high-pressure water phosphorus removal to remove the iron oxide scale on the surface of the billet before being heated and rolled in the heating furnace, the round corner radius of the small square billet is small, the round corner of the billet is seriously blackened after being subjected to high-pressure water phosphorus removal, and abnormal quenching structures easily appear at the corner of the billet. The round corner radius of the box-type hole of the first and second racks of rough rolling is R15mm, the blackening of the corner of the billet is not obviously improved during rolling, the surface layer of the corner of the billet is deformed greatly during rolling, a part of the surface layer flows forward and extends, a part of the surface layer flows horizontally to form a wide spread, the part of the surface layer that is difficult to deform is torn into cracks in the process of forming the wide spread, and the cracks are extended into linear defects on the surface of the wire rod through subsequent rolling.
[0004] Therefore, it is of great significance to study the production technology for controlling the linear defects in a cluster on the surface of the cold heading steel wire rod. SUMMARY
