Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of medium-thick steel plate production, and relates to a production method of limit-width medium-thick plate. BACKGROUND
[0002] According to the traditional rolling theory, the maximum width of the finished product that can be produced by the rolling mill is the length size of the working roll body minus a certain size, for example, for a 5000mm rolling mill, the design limit rolling width specification is 4800mm. The limit width mainly depends on the rolling state of the roughing and finishing rolling mill groups and the rolling mill capacity of the finishing rolling mill group, that is, to ensure that the rolled piece does not deviate from the working roll body during rolling, and to prevent the rolled piece from running out of the roll and causing scrap, winding of the roll, and even accidents such as broken roll and broken shaft. The thickness specification mainly depends on the equipment capacity of the finishing rolling mill group, that is, the rolling mill load should not exceed the allowable capacity range of the finishing rolling mill group. The limit width specification is prone to many problems such as tilting, steel jamming, frame scraping, and rolling scrap during rolling, which becomes a key factor restricting the product expansion of the rolling mill. Therefore, the development of limit-width medium-thick plate is not only an urgent need of steel enterprises, but also a deepening understanding of the rolling process and an in-depth exploration of the limit capacity of the equipment, which has important engineering application value. SUMMARY
[0003] The present application aims to provide a production method of limit-width medium-thick plate, which widens the width range of the existing steel plate, solves the problem of low rolling hit rate that easily occurs in the production process of limit-width medium-thick plate, and realizes the ability to batch and stably roll out limit-width steel plate.
[0004] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows:
[0005] A production method of limit-width medium-thick plate, the thickness of the produced steel plate is 40-60mm, and the limit width is ≥4880mm, which comprises the following process steps:
[0006] (a) controlling the length of the billet to be between 4880-4890mm, and controlling the length of the steel plate to be ≤18m;
[0007] (b) using a walking beam type heating furnace, and controlling the billet delivery temperature to be 1200-1230℃;

[0009] (d) sending the billet from the heating furnace to the front conveying roller of the rolling mill, so that the length direction of the billet is consistent with the feeding direction of the front conveying roller of the rolling mill; after the billet is descaled, it is directly sent to the front of the finishing rolling mill by the front conveying roller of the rolling mill;
[0010] (e) rotating the blank by 90°, transversely rolling in the finishing rolling mill set, controlling the rolling ≤19 passes; the throw-off distance is controlled at 3.2-3.5 m; the working position of the roller is controlled at 20-25 mm;
[0011] (f) after rolling, without opening water, sending to the hot straightening machine for straightening 1-3 passes.
[0012] Preferably, in step (a), the diagonal length deviation of the blank is controlled within 10 mm.
[0013] Preferably, in step (e), the biting speed is 1.2-1.5 m / s, and the rolling speed is 2-4 m / s.
[0014] In order to reduce the temperature drop of the rolled piece during rolling and reduce the rolling mill load, preferably, in step (e), the descaling ≤5 passes is controlled in the first 9 passes before rolling.
[0015] Preferably, in step (f), one group of head and tail side medium pressure water in the Mulpic device is opened for blowing to remove the surface re-oxidized scale.
[0016] Invention principle: The difficulty in developing the limit wide gauge medium plate lies in how to ensure that the rolled piece does not deviate from the working roller body during rolling and the rolling mill load does not exceed the allowable capacity range of the finishing rolling mill set. The technical principle involved in the method of the present invention includes:
[0017] Blank shape design: If the blank length is short, the blank needs to be rolled to the raw edge width, it is difficult to obtain accurate plate width, and it is easy to appear rolling wide or narrow, and it is difficult to turn the steel. The present invention adopts long blank shape design, the blank length is 4880-4890 mm, and the length is rolled when the width is ensured that the width of the rolled piece does not exceed the working roller body.
[0018] Blank heating: step beam heating furnace is adopted; the length of the blank has reached the design upper limit requirement of the step beam heating furnace, the present invention adopts single-row blank loading, the width direction of the blank is consistent with the step beam feeding direction, which can effectively avoid the blank from scratching the frame on the conveying roller.
[0019] Rolling process: transversely rolling in the finishing rolling mill set; increasing the heating temperature and controlling the rolling passes can reduce the temperature drop of the rolled piece during rolling, thereby effectively reducing the rolling mill load; controlling the biting speed, rolling speed and rolling force, etc. can ensure the stability during rolling. The present invention adopts full hot rolling process, the final rolling temperature is high, the rolled piece surface is easy to generate scale after rolling, the Mulpic device is opened to spray the side medium pressure water, which can effectively remove the surface re-oxidized scale and prevent the scale from being pressed in during the hot straightening process.
[0020] The present application has the following advantages: the present application realizes successfully rolling the medium plate with limit width ≥ 4880mm and thickness of 40-60mm on the 5000mm wide plate mill by controlling the blank shape design, blank heating and rolling process, etc. The present application method obtains higher rolling hit rate and can stably and batch produce. The present application does not need any additional investment or technical transformation, breaks through the limit width of equipment design, widens the width range of the existing production steel plate and can meet the demand of limit width medium plate in various industries such as shipbuilding and container steel plate.
