Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of metallurgical plate production, and particularly relates to a production method of thin-gauge weather-resistant steel for photovoltaic supports. BACKGROUND
[0002] Atmospheric corrosion resistant steel (i.e. weather-resistant steel) refers to a low-alloy steel with good atmospheric corrosion resistance, which is prepared by adding a certain amount of Cu, P, C or Ni, Mo, Nb, Ti and other alloy elements in the steel. In the industrial and rural atmospheric environment, the weather-resistant steel has excellent atmospheric corrosion resistance and other properties because a dense and stable oxidation protective film is formed on the surface of the base body, which hinders the entry of the corrosion medium. The rust layer formed by the corrosion of the base body surface of the plain carbon steel has a loose structure and micro-cracks, and cannot truly protect the base steel. SUMMARY
