[0027] The high-strength weather-resistant Q420qENH medium plate has a granular sorbite and ferrite composite structure.

[0028] The high-strength weather-resistant Q420qENH medium plate has a thickness of 20-80 mm.

[0029] Meanwhile, the embodiment of the present application also provides a production method of the above-mentioned rare earth high-strength weather-resistant bridge steel Q420qENH medium-thick steel plate, which comprises the following steps: steelmaking, continuous casting, medium-thick plate heating, rolling and cooling processes.

[0030] The steelmaking process comprises converter smelting, LF furnace refining and RH vacuum treatment, and the converter smelting process comprises the following steps: end component control C: >=0.080%, P<=0.010%, S<=0.025%, tundish tapping temperature 1610-1640 DEG C, and tapping slag stopping.

[0031] The refining process comprises the following steps: adding refining agent 400-500 kg, lime 600-800 kg, submerged arc slag 200-250 kg, fluorite 80-150 kg, LF furnace power slag 6-8 minutes, temperature measurement and sampling, white slag feeding aluminum wire, and white slag keeping time >=10 minutes.

[0032] The vacuum process comprises the following steps: ensuring vacuum degree <=133 Pa, vacuum time >=15 min, pure degassing time >=10 min, hydrogen determination when leaving station, and ensuring [H] <=2 ppm when leaving station; adding boron iron after breaking vacuum, then feeding pure calcium wire 200-250 m, soft argon blowing >=8 min after treatment, controlling soft argon blowing flow, and ensuring soft blowing effect (molten steel liquid surface peristalsis).

[0033] The continuous casting process comprises the following steps: well protecting casting during casting, and avoiding bright red in impact area; ensuring overheat 10-30 DEG C, and making continuous casting blank timely enter pit for slow cooling 30-48 hours; blank entering pit temperature should not be lower than 550 DEG C, and after blank leaving pit, it should be far away from hot blank, and should not be stacked on tuyere, but should be stacked in the middle of other cold blanks.

[0034] The heating process comprises the following steps: steel blank preheating section heating temperature <=890 DEG C, first adding section temperature <=1140 DEG C, second adding section temperature 1190 DEG C-1255 DEG C, soaking section temperature 1200-1235 DEG C, and total heating time: 300 mm casting blank >=335 min.

[0035] The rolling process comprises the following steps: differential temperature rolling in recrystallization zone and two-stage controlled rolling process in non-recrystallization zone.

[0036] The first stage adopts differential temperature rolling, the starting rolling temperature is ≥1050℃, the final rolling temperature is > 950℃, the first pass and the third pass use the front cooling device to cool the surface of the steel plate, the cooling water amount is 1300-1500 L / min, the cooling speed is 6.5-7.5℃ / s, the temperature difference between the surface and the core of the steel plate after surface cooling is 150-200℃, the reduction rate of each pass is 9%-10% in the first to fourth rolling passes, the final rolling temperature is 960-1000℃, the second stage adopts non-recrystallization rolling, the starting rolling temperature is 800-880℃, the final rolling temperature is 815-855℃, the cumulative reduction rate is 45%-60%, and the single pass reduction amount is 16-29mm.

[0037] Since the temperature of the surface of the steel plate has been reduced to 940-1050℃, but the temperature of the core of the steel plate is still higher than 1150℃, there is a temperature difference between the surface and the core, and the deformation in the rolling process can better penetrate into the core through differential temperature rolling, thereby increasing the core deformation, increasing the welding probability of core structure defects, improving the core nucleation capacity, refining the core structure, and adding rare earth elements (Re: 0.0015-0.004%) to increase the recrystallization temperature of the steel plate, expand the non-recrystallization temperature range, increase the reduction amount in the non-recrystallization area, and improve the pass deformation rate, and on the other hand, the rare earth elements can change the morphology of the inclusions of the steel grade, form fine precipitated particles, pin at the ferrite grain boundaries, hinder dislocation movement, and inhibit grain growth, thereby further refining the grains of the steel plate.

[0038] The post-rolling cooling process includes: using interval cooling, the water temperature of the steel plate after rolling is ≥826℃, 14 groups of ACC nozzles are opened in intervals, including the first to third, sixth to eighth, eleventh to thirteenth, sixteenth to eighteenth, and twentieth to twenty-first groups, the water amount is 500-550m 3 / h for the first to third groups, 440-470m 3 / h for the sixth to eighth groups, 240-260m 3 / / h for the eleventh to thirteenth and sixteenth to eighteenth groups, and 150-170m 3 / h for the twentieth to twenty-first groups, the cooling roll speed is 1.0-1.20m / s, the red temperature after cooling is 600-650℃, and the steel plate is cooled at 200-300℃ for 24-48 hours after cooling. Due to the addition of 0.0015-0.004% of rare earth Re, the use of rare earth elements forms more Re2O2S and Re x S y inclusions in micron or nanometer level in the steel grade, provides more nucleation points for structure nucleation in the rolling process, pins dislocations, and prevents grain growth during interval cooling. And by controlling the rate and proportion of ferrite and bainite phase transformation through roll speed, the core and surface structure and performance are uniform.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, 0.0015-0.004% of rare earth Re, mainly La and Ce elements, is added, preferably, the content of La element is 0.0015-0.0040%, and the content of Ce element is 0.0015-0.0040%, the rare earth elements are used to purify molten steel, and the (Mn, Ca)S or TiN complex inclusions are modified into Re2O2S and Re with smaller size and more quantity x S y The inclusions not only reduce the quantity of TiN inclusions in the steel, but also provide more nucleation points for the subsequent rolling process, which is beneficial to the grain refinement in the rolling process, improves the hardenability of the steel plate by refining the hot-rolled grain of the Q420qENH steel plate, in addition, the rare earth Re, Al, O and S form small inclusions and are enriched at the grain boundaries, which reduces the grain boundary interface energy, increases the "potential barrier" of the other elements in the grain boundary segregation energy, and can inhibit the segregation of C, B and P elements at the grain boundary to a certain extent, reduces the segregation of the steel plate, optimizes the microstructure, and achieves the effect of uniform performance of the steel plate.

[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the differential temperature rolling is used in the rough rolling stage, which increases the deformation of the core of the steel plate, and in combination with the dispersed rare earth modified inclusions in the steel, the grain of the core structure is refined, and the uniformity of the structure performance of the whole thickness of the steel plate is improved. In the embodiment of the present application, the grain of the steel plate structure is refined after adding the rare earth Re, the grain boundary segregation of the strong hardenability element B is reduced, the hardenability of the steel plate is improved, and the content of the alloy elements such as Mn, Cr and Mo is appropriately reduced.

[0041] The features and performance of the present application are further described in detail below in combination with the embodiments.
