Austenitic stainless steel is the type of stainless steel product with the largest market demand, accounting for about 70% of the total stainless steel. In order to ensure the good corrosion resistance of austenitic stainless steel, the rolled steel plate needs to undergo heat treatment processes such as solution and quenching. The current austenitic stainless steel plate production line includes a hot rolling line and a heat treatment line. The hot-rolled stainless steel slab rolled to the target thickness needs to be cooled to a lower temperature on the cooling bed and then transferred to the heat treatment line for solution and quenching treatment; the production of stainless steel plates requires frequent cooling-unloading-transfer-loading-heating processes, so the traditional stainless steel production line has the problems of long production cycle and high energy consumption.

The plate after solution treatment in the solution treatment furnace 301 enters the cooling device 302 for rapid cooling. The distance between the solution treatment furnace 301 and the cooling device 302 can be determined and adjusted according to the process requirements.

[0048] A plate cutting unit is arranged in the finishing area 400, and the plate cutting unit can be used to trim and / or cut the plate to length by shearing 403. For example, the plate cutting unit includes a trimming shear 402 and a length shear 403 arranged in sequence along the longitudinal direction of the production line. The number of plate cutting units can be in the range of 1 to 3.

[0049] Preferably, if Figure 1 The entrance section of the finishing zone 400 is also provided with a cold straightening machine 401 , which can perform cold straightening on the plates entering the finishing zone 400 . The plate transverse movement mechanism 600 at the entrance section of the finishing zone 400 is located downstream of the cold straightening machine 401 .

[0050] In one embodiment, if Figure 1 In the finishing area 400, a plurality of plate cutting units are sequentially arranged along the transverse direction of the production line, and a plate transverse movement mechanism 600 is arranged at the entrance section of the finishing area 400.

[0059] Embodiment 2

[0060] An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for continuous production of a stainless steel plate, comprising:

[0061] (1) conveying the continuous casting slab to the heating zone 100 for heating;

[0062] Specifically, the stainless steel continuous casting billet is heated to a temperature above the austenitization temperature and the dissolution temperature of the alloy carbides in the billet by the heating furnace 101; then, the billet is kept warm for a period of time in the heating furnace 101 to fully dissolve the alloy carbides in the continuous casting billet;

[0063] In one embodiment, in the heating zone 100, the continuous casting billet is heated to 1150°C to 1210°C and kept at this temperature for 2 to 4 hours.

[0064] (2) The continuous casting slab output from the heating zone 100 is hot transported to the rolling zone 200. In the rolling zone 200, the continuous casting slab is rolled into an intermediate slab and the rolled mother slab is cut into a plurality of sub-slabs. The sub-slabs are straightened by a hot straightening machine 206.

[0065] As described above, in the rolling zone 200, rolling modes such as flat rolling mode and flat rolling-coiling mode can be implemented. For example, when the thickness of the target finished plate is within the first plate thickness range, in the rolling zone 200, the continuous casting billet is rolled into an intermediate billet by adopting the flat rolling mode; when the thickness of the target finished plate is within the second plate thickness range, in the rolling zone 200, the continuous casting billet is rolled into an intermediate billet by adopting the flat rolling-coiling mode. In one embodiment, when the thickness of the target finished plate is greater than 20 mm, the rolling adopts the flat rolling mode; when the thickness of the target finished plate is ≤12 mm, the rolling adopts the flat rolling-coiling mode; when the thickness of the target finished plate is between 12 and 20 mm, the rolling may adopt the flat rolling mode or the flat rolling-coiling mode.

[0066] Preferably, in the flat rolling-coil rolling mode, the thickness of the intermediate billet initially entering the coiling furnace is controlled within the range of 15-25 mm.

[0067] In one embodiment, the length of the sub-board is 20-56 m, and the number of sub-boards after segmentation is ≤12.

[0068] (3) The steel plate output from the rolling zone 200 is directly sent to the heat treatment zone 300, where the sub-plate is subjected to a solid solution treatment, and the steel plate after the solid solution treatment is rapidly cooled to a target temperature;

[0069] Specifically, the steel plate enters the solution treatment furnace 301, is heated to the solution temperature and kept warm for a period of time; wherein the heating temperature is higher than the dissolution temperature of the alloy carbide and lower than the rapid grain growth temperature. The steel plate that has completed the solution treatment enters the cooling device 302, and is rapidly cooled to below the precipitation temperature of the high chromium alloy carbide, thereby inhibiting the precipitation of the high chromium alloy carbide. In addition, the temperature of the steel plate after cooling needs to meet the temperature requirements of the pickling plate.

[0070] The time of the steel plate in the furnace is the sum of the heating time and the holding time. The heating time is related to the temperature of the steel plate entering the furnace and the thickness of the steel plate. The holding time should ensure that the alloy carbides are fully dissolved. According to the time of the steel plate in the furnace, the heating and holding method of the steel plate in the solution treatment furnace 301 can be selected as a traveling type or a swinging type.

[0071] Based on the above scheme, the steel plate can be hot-charged at a higher temperature into the solution treatment furnace 301 for solution treatment, which not only saves the cold charging heating time and shortens the production cycle, but also makes full use of the residual heat of the steel plate after rolling, improves the gas utilization rate, reduces energy consumption, and reduces carbon emissions.

[0072] In one embodiment, the temperature of the solution treatment furnace 301 is set to 1030-1150°C, and the steel plate is in the furnace for 0.5-60 minutes; the cooling device 302 is used to quickly cool the steel plate to below 150°C.

[0073] (4) The steel plates output from the heat treatment zone 300 are directly sent to the finishing zone 400 for finishing treatment;

[0074] In one embodiment, the trimming amount of the steel plate is 30-150 mm.

[0075] (5) The steel plates output from the finishing area 400 are directly sent to the pickling area 500 for pickling treatment. After the pickling is completed, the finished plates are obtained and collected offline.

[0076] In one embodiment, the steel plate travels at a speed of 2-6 m / min in the pickling device 501 .

[0077] Through the above production method, the continuous casting billet with a thickness of 80-360 mm can be used to manufacture the stainless steel pickling plate with a thickness of 2-120 mm.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
