Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal soft magnetic material preparation and processing technology, specifically relating to a method for preparing a cast-rolled orientation gradient high silicon steel composite plate. Background Technology
[0002] Electrical steel (silicon steel) is one of the most important functional metallic materials for manufacturing transformer cores, motors, and various electrical components. Its production process is lengthy and complex, making it a crucial indicator of a country's special steel manufacturing technology level. When the Si content in electrical steel increases to over 6.5%, not only does the iron loss reach a very low level, but the magnetostriction coefficient also decreases to near zero, offering broad application prospects in the field of high-frequency soft magnetic materials and becoming a research hotspot in the global functional materials field in recent years.
[0003] High-silicon steel soft magnetic alloys (4.5–7 wt% Si) are soft magnetic materials with low coercivity, high resistivity, and high permeability, and have broad application prospects in high-frequency fields. Currently, only chemical vapor deposition has successfully achieved the industrial production of high-silicon steel strips. However, this high-temperature silicon infiltration process requires the use of highly toxic SiCl4 gas and generates a large amount of FeCl2 waste gas, which seriously pollutes the environment.
[0004] High-silicon steel soft magnetic alloys are hard and brittle at room temperature, have high resistance to deformation, and poor processing performance. It is difficult to produce thin strips or plates that meet the requirements through conventional rolling processes, and it is even more difficult to prepare high-silicon steel thin plates with a gradient distribution of silicon content.
[0005] In existing methods for preparing high-silicon steel sheets, such as patent CN100999822A, a method for preparing high-silicon oriented silicon steel thin sheets involves using sputtering deposition to prepare Fe / Si multilayer films or Fe / Si superlattice multilayer films on ordinary silicon steel sheets. Then, Ti, Cr, Al, or MgO targets are deposited on the outer surface of the deposited layer using sputtering deposition to form AlN, TiN, MgO, and Cr spinel-type oxide coatings. Finally, low-carbon high-silicon steel thin sheets are produced by combining rolling and heat treatment. However, this method has significant drawbacks: the size of the prepared sheets is limited, the Fe / Si composition on the substrate surface is difficult to be uniform, and this method is not conducive to industrial production. For example, patent CN107900103A describes a method for preparing an orientation gradient high-silicon steel composite plate. This method involves preparing a high-silicon steel composite plate billet using a cladding casting method, followed by hot rolling and warm rolling, and then diffusion annealing to obtain a high-silicon steel sheet with silicon elements distributed in different gradients. The composite plate is then cold-rolled at room temperature to obtain a bright gradient high-silicon steel sheet with a thickness of 0.06-0.15 mm. However, this method is complex, involving hot rolling followed by warm rolling and then cold rolling, with a long warm rolling time and low production efficiency, making it unsuitable for large-scale production. Summary of the Invention
[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a cast-rolled orientation gradient high-silicon steel composite plate. The method uses a new technology that combines asynchronous rolling with cryogenic treatment to prepare a novel orientation gradient high-silicon steel composite plate. Cryogenic treatment reduces the formation of ordered phases and improves the plasticity of the high-silicon steel sheet. Laser marking technology is used to improve the soft magnetic properties of the product surface, thus preparing a high-silicon steel composite plate with a gradient distribution of silicon content.
[0007] Therefore, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] The method for preparing cast-rolled orientation gradient high-silicon steel composite plate provided by the present invention includes the following steps:
[0009] S1. Preparation of Core Material: The core material is smelted in a medium-frequency vacuum induction furnace using industrial pure iron and pure silicon with a silicon content of 99.9%. The smelting temperature is 1530℃~1580℃, yielding a core casting solution with a silicon content of 6.5%~6.9%. This solution is then forged into a 40~50mm thick square billet using air free forging at 1200℃~1250℃. Finally, the forged billet is held at 1180℃~1230℃ for 30~60min, and then hot-rolled without lubrication on a Ф450mm×450mm two-roll reversible experimental hot rolling mill, undergoing 7~9 passes to a thickness of 7.5~10mm. The initial rolling temperature is 1150~1200℃, and the final rolling temperature is 850~870℃.
[0010] S2, Casting-Rolling Composite: The core hot-rolled plate obtained in S1 is cut into rectangular strips of a certain size. These strips are suspended in a casting mold by 2.5–3.5 wt% Si silicon steel pads and cast in a vacuum electromagnetic induction heating furnace. The coating material is 2.5–3.5 wt% Si silicon steel. The liquid coating metal is poured at a target temperature of 1550–1580℃, flowing sequentially through the front box and distributor, and then into the casting-rolling composite unit to undergo solid-liquid casting-rolling composite with the core hot-rolled plate. The hot-rolling composite unit then performs leveling rolling composite with a reduction of 2–3 mm, resulting in a high-silicon steel composite plate with a surface layer (2.5–3.5 wt% Si silicon steel) and a core layer (6.5–6.9 wt% Si silicon steel).
[0011] S3. Forging: The high-silicon steel composite plate billet obtained in S2 is forged. The heating temperature is 1200-1250℃, the holding temperature is 40-70min, the forging temperature is 1150-1200℃, and the forging is forged to 3-4mm.
[0012] S4. Hot rolling: The composite plate forging in S3 is hot rolled at a heating temperature of 1150-1200℃ and held for 30-50 minutes. Then, it is hot rolled without lubrication on a two-roll reversible experimental hot rolling mill and hot rolled to 1-1.5 mm in 3-5 passes. The initial rolling temperature is 1100-1150℃ and the final rolling temperature is 870-900℃. Then, it is air-cooled to room temperature.
[0013] S5. Intermediate annealing: The intermediate annealing temperature is 920-960℃. After holding at this temperature for 10-20 minutes, the temperature is cooled to room temperature by water.
[0014] S6. Pickling: Use a 6% to 8% hydrochloric acid solution to pickle the hot-rolled plate and intermediate annealed plate. The pickling temperature is 50 to 60℃ and the pickling time is 15 to 25 minutes to remove the iron oxide scale on the surface.
[0015] S7. Cryogenic Asynchronous Rolling: A single-pass cryogenic asynchronous rolling process with a reduction rate of 50%–60% is performed using a four-high cold rolling mill to roll high-silicon steel sheets to a thickness of 0.5–0.6 mm. The speed ratio is 1.2–1.4, with the lower roll being a slow roll whose speed remains constant, and the upper roll being a fast roll whose speed is adjusted according to the speed ratio. The lower roll speed is 0.15–0.25 m / s, and the upper roll speed is 0.18–0.35 m / s. The rolling force is 130–150 kN. Before cryogenic asynchronous rolling, the rolls are turned on and rotated under zero load. The upper and lower work rolls are cooled using nitrogen cooling guns to achieve a roll surface temperature of -180 to -100℃. Before rolling, the high-silicon steel composite plate needs to be cooled in liquid nitrogen to a temperature between -180 and -100℃. After cooling, the composite plate is quickly removed for cryogenic asynchronous rolling.
[0016] S8. Diffusion annealing: The composite plate obtained in S7 is subjected to diffusion annealing heat treatment in a heating furnace. The heating temperature is between 1150 and 1200℃, and the holding time is 100 to 150 minutes. Argon gas is introduced throughout the process for protection, so as to prepare high silicon steel composite plates with different silicon contents in a gradient distribution.
[0017] S9. Laser marking: A laser marking device is used to simultaneously mark the upper and lower surfaces of the composite board with a highly focused continuous wave laser beam. The marking line spacing is 3-5mm, the laser power is 1500-2500W, and the scanning speed is 200-300m / min.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The high-silicon steel casting-rolling composite preparation technology uses a plastic ordinary silicon steel cladding to coat and protect the brittle and difficult-to-deform high-silicon steel core layer. During the solid-liquid casting-rolling composite process, the casting rolls form localized strong stresses at the troughs of the corrugated composite strip, while during the hot rolling composite process, the flat rolls form localized strong stresses at the crests of the corrugated composite strip. This can promote the rolling composite of dissimilar metals, reduce residual stress, significantly improve the interfacial bonding strength, and achieve metallurgical bonding of high-silicon steel composite plates with different silicon contents in a gradient distribution. In addition, compared with the B2-DO3 transformation, the A2-B2 transformation is faster, and the B2 ordered phase with nearest-neighbor matching of dissimilar atoms can be formed quickly. The A2-B2 transformation is more likely to occur than the B2-DO3 transformation, so a small amount of B2 ordered phase can still be retained in the hot-rolled plate using water cooling. Compared to water cooling, cryogenic rolling involves lower temperatures. Using cryogenic asynchronous rolling technology to prepare high-silicon steel composite plates can completely suppress the formation of the DO3 ordered phase and prevent the coalescence and growth of the B2 ordered phase. This significantly reduces the content of ordered phases and the antiphase domain boundary energy in the steel, pushing it towards disorder and laying a solid foundation for further rolling processing. Asynchronous rolling, as an effective method of deep plastic deformation, induces additional shear deformation in the deformation zone of the workpiece using two work rolls rotating at different speeds. This induces crystal rotation, improves equivalent strain, and achieves grain refinement. Cryogenic asynchronous rolling has low requirements for processing equipment, a simple and feasible production process, and promising prospects for industrial application. Attached Figure Description

[0048] S31. Preparation of core layer material: The core layer material was smelted in a medium-frequency vacuum induction furnace using industrial pure iron and pure silicon with a silicon content of 99.9%. The smelting temperature was 1580℃, yielding a core layer casting solution with a silicon content of 6.9%. This solution was then forged into a 50mm thick square billet using air free forging at 1250℃. Finally, after holding the billet at 1230℃ for 30 minutes, it was hot-rolled without lubrication on a Ф450mm×450mm two-roll reversible experimental hot rolling mill, undergoing nine passes to a thickness of 7.5mm.

The liquid coating metal is poured at a target temperature of 1580℃, flowing sequentially through the front box and distributor, and then into the casting-rolling composite device to undergo solid-liquid casting-rolling composite with the core hot-rolled plate. The hot-rolling composite device then performs leveling rolling composite with a reduction of 3mm, resulting in a high-silicon steel composite plate with a surface layer (3.5wt% Si silicon steel) and a core layer (6.9wt% Si silicon steel).
[0050] S33. Forging: The high silicon steel composite plate billet obtained in S32 is forged. The heating temperature is 1250℃, the holding temperature is 40min, the forging temperature is 1200℃, and the forging is forged to 3mm.
[0051] S34. Hot rolling: The composite plate forging in S33 is hot rolled at a heating temperature of 1150℃ and held for 50 minutes. Then, it is hot rolled without lubrication on a two-roll reversible experimental hot rolling mill and hot rolled to 1 mm in 3 passes. The initial rolling temperature is 1100℃ and the final rolling temperature is 870℃. Then, it is air-cooled to room temperature.
[0052] S35. Intermediate annealing: The intermediate annealing temperature is 920℃, and after holding at that temperature for 20 minutes, it is water-cooled to room temperature.

[0054] S37. Cryogenic Asynchronous Rolling: A single-pass cryogenic asynchronous rolling process with a reduction rate of 50% is performed using a four-roll cold rolling mill to roll a high-silicon steel sheet to a thickness of 0.5mm. The speed ratio is 1.4, with the lower roll being a slow roll whose speed remains constant, and the upper roll being a fast roll whose speed is adjusted according to the speed ratio. The lower roll speed is 0.25m / s, and the upper roll speed is 0.35m / s. The rolling force is 130–150kN. Before cryogenic asynchronous rolling, the rolls are turned on and rotated under zero load. The upper and lower work rolls are cooled using a nitrogen cooling gun to achieve a roll surface temperature of -180℃. Before rolling, the high-silicon steel composite plate needs to be cooled in liquid nitrogen to a temperature of -180℃. After cooling, the composite plate is quickly removed for cryogenic asynchronous rolling.
[0055] S38. Diffusion annealing: The composite plate obtained in S37 is subjected to diffusion annealing heat treatment in a heating furnace at a heating temperature of 1150℃ and a holding time of 150min.

[0057] like Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 (a) shows the dislocation configuration of the core in Example 3; Figure 3 (b) is the antiphase domain of the core in Example 3; as can be seen from the figure, the generation of a large number of dislocations in the cryogenic asynchronous composite plate is conducive to dislocation slip, and the B2 ordered structure after cryogenic treatment is extremely small, which is conducive to improving the plastic deformation ability of the rolled composite plate.
[0058] In the three embodiments described above, in Embodiment 1, the velocity ratio of cryogenic asynchronous rolling was 1.2, and the rolling temperature was -100℃; in Embodiment 2, the velocity ratio was 1.3, and the rolling temperature was -150℃; in Embodiment 3, the velocity ratio of cryogenic asynchronous rolling was 1.4, and the rolling temperature was -180℃. With the increase of the velocity ratio, the recrystallized grains of the finished thin plate gradually become finer. Furthermore, the increase in cryogenic asynchronous rolling temperature inhibits the formation of the DO3 ordered phase, facilitates the cutting of the B2 ordered structure by a large number of slip dislocations, prevents the merging and growth of the B2 ordered phase, significantly reduces the ordered phase content and antiphase domain boundary energy in the steel, and significantly improves the material's plastic deformation capacity. Figure 2It can be seen that, in the three embodiments, the plastic deformation capacity of the finished sheet gradually increases with the increase of the different speed ratio and the deep cryogenic rolling temperature.
[0059] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
