TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of smelting and rolling process technology, and particularly relates to a production method of a rare earth cerium micro-alloyed low-cost 400MPa corrosion-resistant steel bar. BACKGROUND
[0002] Atmospheric corrosion resistant steel is generally a kind of low-alloy steel with good atmospheric corrosion resistance prepared by adding a certain amount of Cu, P or Ni, Mo, Nb, Ti, Cr and other alloying elements. The mechanism of atmospheric corrosion resistant steel is mainly that in the presence of water film, oxygen in the air undergoes an electrochemical reaction process through the rust layer, and the rust layer is composed of a loose outer rust layer and a dense inner rust layer, and the alloying elements in the steel mainly act through the influence of the inner rust layer. Generally, in the corrosion products of atmospheric corrosion resistant steel, a dense inner rust layer of Cu, P and Cr can be observed.
[0003] The corrosion resistance of steel bars has become a major research topic in industrialized countries, and the use range of various corrosion-resistant steel bars with high service life and weather-resistant steel bars is increasingly expanding, but for ordinary corrosion-resistant steel bars, not only a certain corrosion resistance is required, but also the production cost is economically sufficient. In order to solve this problem, the present application provides a low-cost economic corrosion-resistant steel bar which does not use expensive alloys such as V and Nb. SUMMARY
[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a production method of a rare earth cerium micro-alloyed low-cost 400MPa corrosion-resistant steel bar, to solve the corrosion problem of steel bars, to realize the upgrading of steel bars for concrete, and to improve the strength and service life of steel bars.

The converter adopts low carbon drawing process, and the target C at the end of the converter is not greater than 0.06%, and the tapping temperature is controlled to be not less than 1630℃. Manganese iron and silicon manganese are used for refining, and aluminum deoxidization is used for final deoxidization. Non-metallic inclusions in the steel have a greater impact on the corrosion resistance of the steel, and a modifying agent needs to be added to the molten steel during LF refining. In the production of this atmospheric corrosion resistant steel bar, the addition of rare earth cerium alloy makes the non-metallic inclusions spheroidized, eliminates or reduces their adverse effects on the properties of the steel, thereby purifying the steel, reducing the total amount of inclusions, and reducing the corrosion between the contact surfaces of the inclusions and the steel matrix;

[0011] Further, the chemical composition of the reinforcing steel bar is as follows: C: 0.24%, Si: 0.52%, Mn: 1.38%, Cr: 0.12%, rare earth Ce 15 ppm, P 0.025%, S 0.034%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurity elements.
[0012] Further, the drawing speed is controlled at 2.2 m / min.
[0013] Further, the cross section of the casting blank is 150 mm*150 mm, and the length of the casting blank is 11.5 m.
[0014] Further, the rolling temperature is 1050±20 DEG C.
