Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of hot continuous rolling and relates to a plate shape control method for hot-rolled high-grade oriented silicon steel plates. Background Art

[0002] Silicon steel is an excellent soft magnetic functional material, widely used in the fields of electricity, electronics, electromechanical, post and telecommunications, and military industries. In production, silicon steel requires high magnetic stress strength and low iron loss performance, and also has very strict requirements on the dimensional accuracy of the plate shape. Among all the plate shape indicators, silicon steel has very demanding requirements on the edge drop after rolling. Since the main purpose of downstream customers using silicon steel is to manufacture compressors and motors, multiple sheets need to be stacked, so the plate shape of cold-rolled silicon steel directly affects its yield rate and production cost. Hot-rolled silicon steel incoming materials are the basic raw materials for cold-rolled products, and the plate shape quality of hot-rolled products directly affects the improvement of cold-rolling production efficiency and quality. In hot-rolling production, the edge drop of hot-rolled silicon steel strip is too large, which is prone to problems such as large convexity and edge waves, which seriously restricts the yield rate of the product. Under the existing technology, reducing the large trimming amount of cold-rolled incoming materials and improving the yield rate of hot-rolled silicon steel mainly involves the plate shape control technology of the hot rolling process. Summary of the invention

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a plate shape control method for hot-rolled high-grade oriented silicon steel plates, which improves the hot-rolled silicon steel yield by optimizing the plate shape control parameters of the silicon steel finishing rolling process and meets the raw material requirements of the downstream process.

[0004] The present invention provides a method for controlling the shape of a hot-rolled high-grade oriented silicon steel sheet. The production process of the silicon steel sheet includes heating of the ingot, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling and curling, which specifically includes:

[0005] Step 1: Heat the ingot to 1250℃~1320℃, the total heating time in the preheating section is 3.5h~4h, the time in the soaking section is 1.5h~2h, and the total time in the furnace is 5h~5.5h;

[0006] Step 2: The rough rolling process adopts 1+1+3 passes, the first three passes adopt a large reduction rate, and the reduction rate of each pass is ≥20%; the roller cooling water is not turned on, and the final rolling temperature is >1140℃;

[0007] Step 3: To ensure that the strip shape is within the required range, each stand follows the principle of proportional crown control during the finishing rolling process. The F1~F3 stands in the finishing mill are CVC rolls, and the F4~F7 stands are flat rolls. The optimal bending roll force of each stand and the shifting roll setting value of the CVC roll are solved to optimize the strip shape control parameters of the silicon steel finishing rolling process;

[0008] Step 4: During the finishing rolling process, the starting rolling temperature is 1040℃~1070℃, the final rolling temperature is 890℃~930℃, the target convexity is 20um~40um, and the wedge shape is within the range of ±15um;

[0009] Step 5: laminar cooling of the silicon steel strip coming out of the finishing mill;

[0010] Step 6: Curl the laminar cooled silicon steel, with the curling temperature being no less than 550°C.

[0011] The plate shape control method of a hot-rolled high-grade oriented silicon steel plate of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. The present invention adopts a relatively high heating temperature and ensures the furnace time of the soaking section and the heating section at the same time, thereby avoiding softening caused by phase change during the finishing rolling process and ensuring the thickness control accuracy.

[0013] 2. The present invention adopts a method of mixed configuration of CVC and ordinary flat rolls, so that the proportional convexity of each stand is constant during the finishing rolling process.

[0014] 3. The present invention starts with solving the problem of high-grade silicon steel plate shape, formulates the process requirements in the finishing rolling process and the calculation method of bending and shifting rolls, effectively solves the problems of large convexity and edge waves of hot-rolled high-grade silicon steel, and provides a strong guarantee for the hot-rolled materials in the downstream process.
