The 80kg-grade steel for hydropower is widely used due to high technical maturity and excellent comprehensive performance. However, the 80kg-grade steel for hydropower has high performance requirements, a relatively complex production process, and a large amount of addition of valuable elements, which causes low production efficiency and high production cost of the steel plate.

While ensuring that the yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, impact, aging strain impact, and cold bending performance of the 80kg-grade steel plate for hydropower with a thickness of 20-50mm meet relevant standards, the production method realizes the reduction of enterprise production cost and the improvement of production efficiency by appropriately reducing the content of part of valuable alloy, canceling the slab cooling process to realize slab warm charging, and canceling the offline quenching process.

[0008] 2) slab heating: the billet is directly heated with temperature after being sprayed with water, the billet time in the furnace is controlled according to the heating coefficient of 8-12min / cm, the hearth temperature is 1200-1250 DEG C, and the uniformity of the billet heating is ensured;
[0009] 3) rolling: two-stage controlled rolling process is adopted, the first stage guarantees 2 passes of 18% or more pass reduction rate, the second stage is opened at a temperature of 820-850 DEG C, the final rolling temperature is 800-830 DEG C, and the second stage cumulative reduction rate is more than 50%;
[0010] 4) on-line cooling: the steel plate is directly sent to the on-line cooling equipment after rolling, the water inlet temperature is 780-810 DEG C, the cooling speed is 15-20 DEG C / s, and the final cooling temperature is less than or equal to 350 DEG C;
[0011] 5) cutting: the large plate is cut into sub-plates according to the order length, and the low temperature zone of 100-200mm needs to be cut off at the head and tail of the large plate;
[0012] 6) heat treatment: the controlled rolling and controlled cooling steel plate is subjected to offline tempering heat treatment, the tempering temperature is 630-660 DEG C, the time in the furnace is 2.3-3.0min / mm, and the steel plate is air cooled to room temperature after being taken out of the furnace.
[0013] Wherein Ceq=C+Mn / 6+Si / 24+Ni / 40+Cr / 5+Mo / 4+V / 14,
[0014] Pcm=V+Si / 30+(Mn+Cu+Cr) / 20+Ni / 60+Mo / 15+V / 10+5B≤0.25%.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are:
