Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of high-speed wire rod and high-speed bar rolling production technology of HRB400E steel in the iron and steel metallurgical industry, and relates to a low alloy HRB400E steel without Widmanstätten structure under direct rolling process. Background Technology

[0002] HRB400E accounts for over 80% of rebar products and is currently the mainstream product in the market, widely used in civil construction, bridges, high-speed rail, and urban rail transit. After years of development, advanced production technologies for HRB400E have become increasingly mature. Hot charging and hot delivery technology, continuous casting and rolling technology, endless rolling technology, low-temperature rolling technology, water cooling technology, high-speed steel loading technology, and slitting rolling technology have been successfully applied in many rebar manufacturers both domestically and internationally. Currently, traditional small-diameter HRB400E wire rods are mainly produced in China using high-speed bar and high-speed wire rod rolling methods.

[0003] Bar and wire rod manufacturers are increasingly stringent in controlling the production costs and product quality of HRB400E, striving to improve product quality while reducing production costs to enhance their competitiveness. Some companies, based on hot charging and hot delivery, are adopting a "full-line low-temperature rolling" process to reduce billet heating and rolling costs. Furthermore, they are controlling austenite grain size through low-temperature rolling, thereby reducing alloy costs through fine-grain strengthening.

[0004] However, while this type of low-temperature rolling process can reduce alloy costs in the production of HRB400E and effectively lower production costs, it also presents the following problems:

[0005] 1) The temperature difference between the head and tail of the rolled piece and the middle position is large, resulting in a large difference in the final microstructure, a large difference in mechanical properties, and poor product permeability;

[0006] 2) Low-temperature rolling throughout the entire line resulted in a significant increase in rolling power, which in turn increased the power consumption per ton of steel during rolling;

[0007] 3) Low-temperature rolling throughout the entire process increases wear on the rolling mill and rolls, leading to increased operating costs for the company;

[0008] 4) Due to the low-temperature rolling process throughout, although the austenite grain size was refined, the excessively low rolling temperature resulted in the formation of mixed-grain structures and some Widmanstätten structures (such as...). Figure 1 As shown in the figure, this type of organization leads to unstable mechanical properties of the final product.

[0009] To address the problems existing in the current industrial production of HRB400E using the direct rolling process, this invention provides a Widmanstätten-free low-alloy HRB400E steel for direct rolling. This Widmanstätten-free low-alloy HRB400E steel, based on a Widmanstätten structure control system and production method for low-alloy HRB400E using the direct rolling process, effectively solves the problem of abnormal Widmanstätten structure in the microstructure of HRB400E, which leads to unstable mechanical properties and product defects. It can improve the uniformity of the microstructure in high-speed wire rods and bars of HRB400E, reduce the Mn alloy content, lower alloy costs, and simultaneously improve the stability and rolling line operation rate of wire rod and bar production lines when producing HRB400E, reducing operating costs and improving economic efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0010] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a Widmanstätten-free low-alloy HRB400E steel under direct rolling process.

The product has a uniform microstructure of pearlite and ferrite, without Widmanstätten structure, resulting in stable microstructure, stable product performance, and good through-stretch properties. It effectively solves the problem of unstable mechanical properties and product defects caused by abnormal Widmanstätten structure in the microstructure of HRB400E.

The chemical composition and mass percentage of this Widmanstätten-free low-alloy HRB400E steel produced by direct rolling are as follows: C: 0.18~0.25%, Si: ≤0.65%, Mn: ≤1.10%, P: ≤0.040%, S: ≤0.040%, N: ≤0.010%, O: ≤28ppm, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable residual elements such as Ti, Nb, and V. The microstructure of this product is uniform pearlite and ferrite, without Widmanstätten structure. The matrix microstructure is uniformly distributed ferrite + pearlite, with a pearlite ratio ≥55% and a grain size grade ≥10.

This direct rolling process employs an electromagnetic induction heating device before the roughing mill, ensuring a head-to-tail temperature difference of ≤30℃ after heating. Rolling is performed in the recrystallization zone of the roughing, intermediate, and pre-finishing mills, while the finishing mill uses a partial recrystallization temperature zone. The reducing mill uses a partial recrystallization zone or a two-phase zone low-temperature, high-pressure rolling process to ensure uniform surface and core microstructure of the HRB400E product. The product microstructure consists of uniform pearlite and ferrite, without Widmanstätten structure, exhibiting stable microstructure and performance. Under low-cost conditions, the production range of low-alloy products is wide.

[0076] The direct rolling process described in this application for low-alloy HRB400E steel without Widmanstätten structure eliminates the need for a heating furnace, saving energy consumption required for heating in the heating rolling process and achieving zero carbon dioxide emissions, thus realizing low-consumption production. An electromagnetic induction heating device is installed before the roughing mill, ensuring a temperature difference of ≤30℃ between the head and tail ends after heating. This results in stable microstructure and properties at the head, tail, and middle positions of the final product, and good product passability. The roughing mill, intermediate mill, and pre-finishing mill operate at high rolling temperatures with relatively low rolling power, resulting in lower power consumption per ton of steel compared to low-temperature rolling, saving electricity costs and improving equipment stability and service life. A two-stand reducing mill achieves high-reduction rolling, ensuring uniform surface and core microstructure of the HRB400E product. The product microstructure consists of uniform pearlite and ferrite, without Widmanstätten structure, exhibiting stable microstructure and product performance. Under low-cost process conditions, the low-alloy product can be produced in a wide range of specifications. The produced rebar coils or straight bars exhibit high dimensional accuracy, excellent surface quality, and stable mechanical properties.

[0077] Specifically, the nominal diameters of the high-speed wire rod production line products (coiled products) are 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm and 14mm, and the nominal diameters of the high-speed bar production line products (straight bar products) are 10mm, 12mm and 14mm.
