[0003] For example, Chinese patent document CN116160753A discloses a single-sided stainless steel composite plate and its preparation method, wherein the composite billet preparation process includes: surface cleaning and circumferential welding of the billet. The circumferential welding of the billet is to weld around the perimeter of the surfaces to be bonded of the carbon steel substrate and the stainless steel composite material under vacuum conditions to obtain the composite billet.
[0004] However, during the preparation of the aforementioned stainless steel composite plate, the vacuum extraction process uses a common method of welding the vacuum tube into the weld to extract the vacuum. There may be residual air in some areas. If there is air between the plates during the rolling process, after being heated to more than 1,000 degrees for a long time, the gas expands and the pressure inside the plate surges, which can cause the billet to burst open and the rolled product to have a large number of unbonded areas.

[0014] Optionally, the diameter of the vertical hole is 12-16 mm, and the distance from the center of the vertical hole to the edge of the U-shaped bevel is 10-20 mm.
[0015] Optionally, the diameter of the transverse hole is 10-12 mm.

[0038] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.
[0041] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0042] The stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment can be used for surface embossing.
[0043] like Figure 2-5The image shows a specific embodiment of the stainless steel composite plate provided in this example, comprising: a substrate 1 and a composite material, wherein the substrate 1 and the composite material are stacked, and a plurality of air guide grooves 4 are provided on the side of the substrate 1 facing the composite material. The plurality of air guide grooves 4 are areas on the substrate 1 for bonding with the composite material and extend along the length direction of the substrate 1; the plurality of air guide grooves 4 converge at one end, and a vertical hole 5 is provided on the substrate 1 at the converging end of the air guide grooves 4, which communicates with the plurality of air guide grooves 4; a horizontal hole 6 is provided on the end face of the substrate 1, which communicates with the vertical hole 5, and the exposed end of the horizontal hole 6 is adapted to communicate with a vacuum extraction device.
[0044] The stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment improves the vacuuming effect and ensures the vacuum level between the two plates by setting air guide grooves 4 on the mating surface of the substrate 1 for cooperation with the composite material during vacuuming. Furthermore, compared to the previous vacuuming method where the vacuum tube was welded into the weld seam, which connected the vacuum tube to the gap between the substrate and the composite material, easily leading to air residue and quality problems, this embodiment avoids these problems by drilling vacuum holes in the substrate.
[0045] like Figure 2 As shown, in the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment, the composite material has two pieces, wherein the first composite material 2 covers the front side of the substrate 1, and the second composite material 3 covers the back side of the substrate 1. The double-sided composite material arrangement makes the force on both sides of the substrate more even, which can avoid the occurrence of warping. The front and back sides of the substrate 1 are respectively provided with air guide grooves 4, and the vertical hole 5 penetrates through the front and back sides of the substrate 1 and communicates with the air guide grooves 4 on the front and back sides respectively. That is to say, the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment is a double-sided stainless steel composite plate. This embodiment can achieve double-sided embossing by setting the stainless steel composite material on both sides. Of course, the above features are not limiting. In some alternative embodiments, the composite material can also be set on one side.
[0046] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment, a U-shaped bevel 7 is provided around the area on the substrate 1 used for bonding with the composite material. Compared with the previous V-shaped bevel, which had a welding gap area, after a compression ratio of thirty times, especially at the boundary where two different materials are joined, small unbonded areas are magnified, creating unbonded areas inside the finished product, leading to product defects. This embodiment, through the setting of the U-shaped bevel 7, increases the welding strength, avoids the problem of gap areas during welding, reduces the occurrence of edge breakage, and makes the edges of the finished plate less prone to cracking.
[0047] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment, the relationship between the bottom width a1, depth h1, and top width b1 of the U-shaped bevel 7 on the long side of the substrate 1 is 1:3:2.5, where a1 = 10% of the substrate thickness; the relationship between the bottom width a2, depth h2, and top width b2 of the U-shaped bevel 7 on the short side of the substrate 1 is 1:4:3, where a2 = 10% of the substrate thickness. Specifically, as... Figure 3 As shown, the bottom width a1 = 10mm, depth h1 = 30mm, and top width b1 = 25mm can be set on the long side; for example... Figure 4 As shown, the bottom width a2 = 10mm, depth h2 = 40mm, and top width b2 = 30mm can be set on the short side. Since the short side of the substrate 1 is relatively short, the bevel 7 on the short side is set to be deeper to increase the strength after welding.
[0048] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment, the diameter of the vertical hole 5 is 12-16 mm, and the distance from the center of the vertical hole 5 to the edge of the U-shaped bevel 7 is 10-20 mm. Specifically, for example, the diameter of the vertical hole 5 can be 14 mm, and the distance from the edge of the bevel 7 can be 15 mm.
[0049] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, in the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment, the horizontal hole 6 is located in the middle of the end, and its diameter is 10-12 mm. Specifically, for example, the diameter of the horizontal hole 6 can be 10 mm. This processing method allows for the vacuum of the upper and lower layers to be extracted in one operation, while maintaining a consistent vacuum value, reducing processing steps and saving costs.
[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, in the stainless steel composite plate provided in this embodiment, a plurality of the air guide grooves 4 extend parallel and spaced along the bonding surface of the substrate 1. This arrangement allows for uniform vacuum extraction of the space between the substrate 1 and the composite material, ensuring vacuum stability between the two plates.
[0051] In addition, this embodiment also provides a method for preparing a stainless steel composite plate, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0052] Preparation of Substrate 1 and Composite Material: This embodiment does not have special requirements for the materials of Substrate 1 and Composite Material. For example, the grade of Substrate 1 can be Q235, HPCC, 210, etc., and the grade of Composite Material can be 304, 316L, 310S, etc. The thickness of Substrate 1 and Composite Material is calculated based on the finished product thickness according to the principle of proportional rolling. The thickness of the surface composite layer must be ≥0.1mm, and the length and width of Substrate 1 and Composite Material should be consistent.
[0053] Cutting the bevel 7 of the substrate 1: In this step, the U-shaped bevel 7 described in the above embodiment can be used, which can improve the bonding tightness between the substrate 1 and the composite material after welding.
[0054] Vacuum hole preparation: Drill a vertical hole 5 at the middle position of one end of the mating surface of the substrate 1, and drill a horizontal hole 6 on the end face of the same end, so that the horizontal hole 6 is connected to the vertical hole 5.
[0055] Surface processing of substrate 1 composite material: including the preparation of air guide groove 4 and the treatment of the mating surface;
[0056] Preparation of air guide groove 4: A plurality of air guide grooves 4 are provided on the bonding surface of the substrate 1, and one end of the plurality of air guide grooves 4 is connected to the vertical hole 5;
[0057] The bonding surfaces are treated: the bonding surfaces of the substrate 1 and the composite are processed to ensure that the surface roughness of the bonding surfaces of the substrate 1 and the composite meets Ra≤25; with this setting, the bonding surfaces after processing do not need to be coated with a release agent, saving costs.
[0058] Sealing welding: includes two steps: sealing the substrate 1 composite material and submerged arc welding;
[0059] First, the substrate 1 and the composite layer are stacked on a pressure platform and pressurized by the pressure platform to 200-550 MPa. Then, carbon dioxide shielded welding is used for secondary welding to complete the sealing.
[0060] Then, the bevel 7 around the bonding surface of the substrate 1 and the composite material is filled by submerged arc welding.
[0061] Vacuum extraction: A vacuum extraction tube is welded to the exposed end of the transverse hole 6. This vacuum extraction tube is connected to a vacuum extraction device, which is used to ensure that the vacuum value between the substrate 1 and the composite material is ≤1.0*10. -3 After the vacuum requirement is met, the extraction vacuum tube is sealed.
[0062] In the above-mentioned method for preparing stainless steel composite plates, the welding current for MIG welding is 120–180A, the welding voltage is 20–25V, and the gas flow rate is 8–12L / min; the submerged arc welding current is 400–600A, and multiple passes are used until the groove 7 is completely filled. These two welding steps prevent flux from falling into the seam during submerged arc welding, thus avoiding the production of defective products.
[0063] The preparation method provided in this embodiment has a tight production process, high production efficiency, and high yield. It solves the problems of warping and non-bonding of finished products caused by factors such as different material densities, different elongations, and local air residue in bimetallic composite plates. The product can replace the use of pure stainless steel, reduce the consumption of precious metals, significantly reduce project costs, and achieve a perfect combination of low cost and high performance.
[0064] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
