Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of steel preparation technology, and in particular to a medium-low carbon high-phosphorus weather-resistant cold heading steel that meets the requirements of large deformation in cold heading and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The paint-free application of atmospheric corrosion-resistant steel solves the problems of environmental pollution and high cost associated with painting, electroplating, or hot-dip galvanizing, and is therefore widely used in steel structures such as bridges, power transmission lines, photovoltaic systems, and stadiums. Fasteners play a crucial role in securing connections, and the load-bearing safety of bolted joints is of paramount importance.

[0003] In existing technologies, weathering cold heading steel uses a Cr-Ni-Cu composition, where Cr, Cu, and Ni are expensive, leading to high costs. Phosphorus, on the other hand, is inexpensive and exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in rural and industrial atmospheres. However, phosphorus is a harmful element in steel, causing problems such as dendrite segregation in cast billets, phosphorus segregation bands and grain boundary segregation in rolled products, cold brittleness, and poor cold deformation capacity. Currently, industrially used phosphorus-containing and high-phosphorus steels have a carbon content of ≤0.08% and a phosphorus content of ≤0.1%, primarily used in container plates. Fastener products, due to high strength requirements, must have a carbon content greater than 0.15%, and the processing must meet the "drawing + cold heading" forming process, with a primary deformation of 80-90% or more.

[0037] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials, reagents, instruments and equipment used in this application can be purchased from the market or prepared by existing methods.

[0038] This application provides a medium-low carbon, high-phosphorus weather-resistant cold heading steel that meets the requirements for large deformation in cold heading. The chemical composition of the cold heading steel, by mass fraction, includes: C: 0.15%–0.25%, Si: 0.20%–0.30%, Mn: 0.30%–0.40%, Cu: 0.20%–0.60%, P: 0.08%–0.14%, S≤0.01%, Ni: 0.10%–0.15%, Cr: 0.20%–0.50%, Al… T 0.025%–0.06%; balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities; wherein, C and P satisfy the following relationship:

[0039] [P]*[C]≤0.035

[0040] In the formula, [P] represents the value preceding the percentage of P content, and [C] represents the value preceding the percentage of C content.

[0041] The control principle in the chemical composition design of this invention is as follows:

[0042] C: To meet the requirements of achieving a primary deformation of 85%–90% or more during cold heading and high strength of fasteners, the carbon content is controlled between 0.15% and 0.25%. A carbon content below 0.15% will result in low strength of the manufactured fasteners; however, increasing the carbon content will lead to a decrease in cold heading deformation capacity. Therefore, the carbon content is controlled below 0.25%. For example, the carbon content is 0.15%, 0.17%, 0.19%, 0.20%, 0.22%, 0.25%, etc.

[0043] Si: A commonly used deoxidizing element in steel. Solid solution strengthening of Si increases the work hardening rate of steel, but can significantly worsen the cold working properties of steel. At the same time, it promotes the segregation of P and S at grain boundaries. Its content should be controlled to not exceed 0.30%. For example, the Si content is 0.20%, 0.22%, 0.24%, 0.26%, 0.28%, 0.30%, etc.

[0044] Mn: A commonly used deoxidizing element in steel, it can improve the hardenability of steel. However, continuous casting carries the risk of center segregation and a strong tendency for grain boundary agglomeration during tempering, promoting temper brittleness. Therefore, the Mn content should be controlled between 0.30% and 0.40%. For example, the Mn content can be 0.30%, 0.32%, 0.34%, 0.36%, 0.38%, 0.40%, etc.

[0045] Phosphorus (P) tends to form central and micro-segregation during the solidification of molten steel, easily leading to billet cracks and phosphorus agglomeration at grain boundaries. Grain boundary embrittlement reduces cold heading ability. Simultaneously, P segregation significantly reduces atmospheric corrosion resistance. Considering the strength level required for fastener manufacturing, the carbon content is between 0.15% and 0.25%, therefore, the P content should be controlled between 0.08% and 0.14%. If the P content exceeds 0.14%, phosphorus segregation and grain boundary embrittlement will prevent cold heading from meeting the requirement of a single-piece forming limit greater than 80%. If the phosphorus content is less than 0.08%, the amount of corrosion-resistant elements Ni and Cr required to replace them increases. Therefore, controlling the P content between 0.08% and 0.14% allows for the maximum use of inexpensive P to replace expensive Ni, Cr, and Cu, achieving a low-cost, highly atmospheric corrosion-resistant new material. For example, the content of P is 0.08%, 0.09%, 0.10%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, etc.

[0046] Sulfur (S) reacts with manganese (Mn) in steel to form MnS inclusions and segregates at grain boundaries, causing hot brittleness and deteriorating the steel's machinability. Reducing the sulfur content in steel can improve its deformation properties, reduce non-metallic inclusions, and improve its machinability and toughness. Sulfur content should be controlled below 0.01%. For example, the sulfur content can be 0.002%, 0.004%, 0.006%, 0.008%, 0.01%, etc.

[0047] Cu, Ni, and Cr can significantly improve the weather resistance and acid resistance of steel. When the carbon content is 0.15%–0.25% and the limit amount of single cold heading deformation is greater than 80%, atmospheric corrosion resistance can be improved by combining Cu, Ni, and Cr with a phosphorus content of 0.08%–0.14%. For example, the Cu content is 0.20%, 0.30%, 0.40%, 0.50%, 0.60%, etc.; the Ni content is 0.10%, 0.11%, 0.12%, 0.13%, 0.14%, 0.15%, etc.; and the Cr content is 0.20%, 0.30%, 0.35%, 0.40%, 0.45%, 0.50%, etc.

[0048] In some implementations, C and P satisfy the following relationship:

[0049] 0.02≤[P]*[C]≤0.035

[0050] In the formula, [P] represents the value preceding the percentage of P content, and [C] represents the value preceding the percentage of C content.

[0051] In some implementations, Ni and P satisfy the following relationship:

[0052] 0.5 ≤ [Ni] / [P] ≤ 1.5

[0053] In the formula, [Ni] represents the content of Ni, and [P] represents the content of P.

[0054] Through extensive comparison of elemental matching relationships using laboratory cyclic immersion corrosion results and verification using actual service environment corrosion results, the study found that Ni, C, and P elements require appropriate composite addition in suitable proportions, with the following content requirements: 0.02 ≤ [P]*[C] ≤ 0.035, 0.5 ≤ [Ni] / [P] ≤ 1.5. When [P]*[C] is greater than 0.035, the probability of cold heading cracking increases significantly, failing to meet the requirement of a single-step cold heading limit of over 80%. When [P]*[C] is less than 0.035, the content of high-priced corrosion-resistant elements, such as phosphorus, is low, increasing the manufacturing cost of the steel. When [Ni] / [P] is greater than 1.5, corrosion resistance can achieve a low corrosion rate, but this significantly increases the manufacturing cost of the steel. When [Ni] / [P] is less than 0.5, the number of manufacturing defects and cracks in the material increases significantly, making subsequent deep processing impossible. For example, the value of [P]*[C] can be 0.02, 0.022, 0.025, 0.028, 0.03, 0.032, 0.035, etc.; the value of [Ni] / [P] can be 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4, 1.5, etc.

[0055] In some embodiments, the diameter of the cold heading steel The diameter ranges from 6.5mm to 16mm. For example, the diameter of cold-heading steel... It can be 6.5mm, 7mm, 9mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm, etc.

[0056] In some embodiments, the phosphorus segregation index of the cold heading steel is ≤1.25, where segregation index = enriched element content / average element content in the steel. For example, the phosphorus segregation index of the cold heading steel can be 1.10, 1.15, 1.18, 1.20, 1.22, 1.25, etc.

[0057] In some embodiments, the cold heading steel satisfies at least one of the following properties: tensile strength of 520 MPa to 550 MPa, Z% ≥ 70%, allowable deformation ≥ 80%, and long-term corrosion rate ≤ 0.8 g / (m²) in high SO₂ concentration atmospheric environments. 2 ·h). Z represents the range of tensile forces that cold heading steel can withstand in the thickness direction.

[0058] This application rationally designs the chemical composition of cold heading steel, using an appropriate high phosphorus content in combination with Cu and Ni elements to suppress pitting corrosion and form a passivation film to hinder SO2 penetration from the atmospheric environment, thus meeting the corrosion performance requirements of atmospheric environments characterized by strong radiation and high SO2 concentration. Simultaneously, it avoids problems such as phosphorus segregation and grain boundary embrittlement, thereby meeting the requirement that the limit amount of phosphorus in a single cold heading process is greater than 80%.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a method for preparing cold heading steel according to any embodiment of the first aspect, the method comprising:

[0060] S1. The molten steel with the aforementioned chemical composition is continuously cast, and the crystallizer water flow rate and the dynamic water distribution mode of the secondary cooling system are optimized to obtain a cast billet; the continuous casting adopts an end electromagnetic stirring process.

[0061] In some embodiments, the core / edge phosphorus segregation index ratio of the billet is ≤2, and the core phosphorus segregation index of the billet is ≤2.5, wherein the segregation index = enriched element content / average element content in steel.

[0062] By optimizing the water flow rate in the continuous casting crystallizer, the dynamic water distribution mode in the secondary cooling system, and the end-stage electromagnetic stirring process, the uniformity of phosphorus segregation distribution across the billet cross-section can be controlled. For example, the core / edge phosphorus segregation index ratio of the billet can be 1.45, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2.0, etc., and the core phosphorus segregation index of the billet can be 2.1, 2.15, 2.2, 2.25, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, etc.

[0063] In some embodiments, the method further includes, prior to continuous casting of molten steel having the said chemical composition:

[0064] Molten iron is subjected to RH vacuum degassing treatment to obtain a billet with a set chemical composition; the pure degassing time of the RH vacuum degassing treatment is ≥15min.

[0065] During RH vacuum degassing, the pure degassing time is ≥15 min to ensure that the [H] content meets the requirements after vacuum treatment. For example, the pure degassing time can be 15 min, 16 min, 17 min, 18 min, 19 min, 20 min, etc.

[0066] In some embodiments, the billet continuous casting includes: controlling the target temperature of the molten steel at 10-40°C above the liquidus temperature, and the thickness of the billet is 150mm or 200mm.

[0067] S2. The billet is heated and rolled into high-speed wire to obtain cold heading steel.
