Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of medium-thickness steel plate production and relates to a production method of ultra-high-strength narrow-thickness-tolerance steel plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] The narrow-thickness-tolerance steel plate is a finished product whose thickness is controlled within the tolerance range of national standards or enterprise standards, and the deviation of the target thickness is small, and the thickness deviation of the same plate is also small. The narrow-thickness-tolerance steel plate is beneficial to the lightweight of large equipment and is widely used in the field of engineering machinery, such as the application of the yield strength 1100 MPa grade ultra-high-strength steel in large-tonnage truck cranes, heavy-load crawler cranes, large-scale concrete pump trucks and other high-end engineering machinery equipment.

[0003] The existing technology can control the average thickness of the steel plate within the allowed tolerance range by using the AGC (Automatic Gauge Control) system, but the head and tail of the steel plate cannot be controlled within the range. Because the temperature of the head of the steel plate drops quickly during rolling, the rolling force rises, the actual rolling force is greater than the set rolling force, and the thickness is rolled; after the AGC system is self-adaptive, the actual rolling force decreases, and the thickness becomes thin. The tail of the steel plate also drops quickly, but due to the short time of the tail, only the rolling force decreases, so the thickness becomes thin.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 107030120 B discloses a "precise control method for thickness tolerance of ship steel plate", which realizes the precise control of the thickness tolerance of the ship steel plate by optimizing from the aspects of billet design, rolling thickness setting, rolling mill calibration, billet heating and rolling process. However, the strength level produced by the method is low, and the thickness precision is only the deviation of the average thickness of the steel plate after rolling from the set target thickness, and does not involve the control of the thickness deviation of the same plate.

[0005] Chinese patent CN 111389927 B discloses a "single-stand thin-gauge steel plate narrow-thickness-tolerance control method", which realizes the stable production of 0.2mm narrow-thickness-tolerance steel plate by single-stand thin-gauge steel plate. However, the single-stand thin-gauge steel plate rolling method is not suitable for the rolling method of the double-stand reversible four-roll rolling mill. SUMMARY

[0006] The application aims to provide a production method of ultra-high-strength narrow-thickness-tolerance steel plate, which realizes the stable control of the ultra-high-strength steel plate ≤0.7mm narrow-thickness-tolerance.

[0007] The technical scheme of the application is as follows:

[0008] A production method of ultra-high-strength narrow-thickness-tolerance steel plate, the thickness of the steel plate is 10-25mm, which comprises the following process steps:

[0009] a narrow thickness tolerance steel plate is arranged in the early stage of the rolling mill roll period, and the rolling mileage is ≤50 kilometers; 3-5 steel plates of the same specification are arranged to transition and adjust the thickness deviation control before production, and the thickness is preferentially transitioned from thick to thin, and then the width is transitioned from narrow to wide; the rolling length of the mother plate is controlled to be ≤40 m.

[0010] b a walking beam heating furnace is used, the slab casting temperature is ≥1180℃, the temperature difference between the upper and lower surfaces is controlled to be within 20℃, and there is no obvious water beam mark.

[0011] c double-stand rolling is used, the SmartCrown roller is used for the finishing mill, the plate crown is controlled to be <0.1mm; the cooling water of the rough and finishing mill roller and the intermediate roller is turned off; the middle cooling water of the work roller is adjusted to be 60-70%, and the cooling water on both sides is adjusted to be 30-40%.

[0012] Further, in step d, the rough rolling is controlled to be 7-9 passes; the finishing rolling is controlled to be 7-9 passes, the biting speed is 1.3-1.6m / s, and the rolling speed is 3-7m / s; the first pass of the finishing mill is descaled at the inlet, and the other odd passes are descaled at the outlet.

[0013] Further, the steel plate of the same specification is a steel plate with a thickness deviation ≤2mm and a width deviation ≤500mm.

[0014] In order to reduce the influence of the roll eccentricity on the thickness, preferably, in step c, the roundness of the roller is controlled to be within 50µm, and the roundness of the roller system is controlled to be within 250µm after on-machine calibration.

[0015] In order to reduce the temperature drop of the rolled piece head and tail during rolling, preferably, in step d, the ejection distance of the finishing mill inlet and outlet is controlled to be 3.2-3.5m.

[0016] The present application has the following beneficial effects: the present application optimizes the planning arrangement, slab heating and rolling process and the like, realizes the stable control of the ultra-high strength narrow thickness tolerance steel plate, narrows the allowed tolerance range of the steel plate thickness, and the thickness deviation of the same steel plate is controlled to be within 0.7mm, which meets the user demand of the product thickness tolerance requirement.
