It is a widely used variety of medium and thick plate products. With the changes in the market situation, the profitability of yield strength 420MPa and 460MPa low alloy high strength steel is getting lower and lower, and it is urgently needed to improve its profit-making ability through cost-reducing production.
[0003] At present, the main production mode of low-alloy high-strength steel with a thickness of 10 to 40 mm and a yield strength of 420 MPa or 460 MPa is controlled rolling and controlled cooling. In order to ensure the performance of the steel plate, it is usually required that the start temperature of the finishing rolling and the final rolling temperature be controlled within a narrow range, resulting in a slow pace of steel plate production and strict process requirements, which is not conducive to efficient production.

The manufacturing method is as follows: the billet heating temperature is 1180-1220°C, the first stage rolling temperature is 1040-1080°C, the final rolling temperature is 950-1000°C, and the second stage rolling starting temperature is 920-870°C; the final rolling temperature is controlled at 800-850°C, and the cumulative deformation amount of the second stage recrystallization zone rolling is greater than 60%; after hot rolling, it is kept warm for more than 15 seconds and then water-cooled, the water cooling starting temperature is 680-750°C, the cooling rate is 5-9°C / S, and the red-returning temperature is 450-620°C.
[0006] In addition, the designed compositions of steel plates of different thicknesses are usually different, which results in more steel tapping marks and affects production efficiency during smelting and continuous casting.
[0007] The present invention is optimized on the basis of the original Q420 grade steel composition, and obtains high-quality continuous casting billets through high-purity smelting and continuous casting process optimization, while reducing the heating temperature, ensuring that the second phase particles are fully dissolved back while reducing the original austenite grain size, and realizing the dispersion precipitation of the second phase particles through low-temperature large deformation rolling during rolling, and reducing the internal energy storage release by rapid cooling after rolling, and making full use of the effects of precipitation strengthening, fine grain strengthening and phase transformation strengthening, ensuring the flexible and efficient production of steel plates with a thickness of 10 to 40 mm and a yield strength of 420 MPa and 460 MPa, greatly improving the production efficiency of the steel plates while ensuring sufficient performance margin, greatly reducing the energy consumption of the heating furnace while improving the efficiency-creating ability of the low-alloy high-strength steel with a yield strength of 420 MPa and 460 MPa.

[0032] (4) The present invention does not limit the final rolling temperature of the steel plate, the production process is simple, and the process window is less restricted, which is conducive to the production of steel plates with complex nominal sizes. In addition, the first-time performance qualification rate after actual application is as high as over 99%.
[0033] (5) It effectively reduces the burning loss of the slab, improves the yield rate and obtains a high-quality steel plate surface.
[0034] (6) By adopting the low-temperature flexible rolling process, the molten steel (with the same composition) from the same casting or even the same furnace can produce a series of products with yield strength of 420MPa and 460MPa by adjusting the post-rolling cooling process parameters, which greatly improves the production efficiency of steelmaking. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The present invention discloses a flexible production method for low-alloy high-strength steel with a yield strength of 420 / 460 MPa. The steel plate with a yield strength of 420 MPa or a yield strength of 460 MPa can be produced by using the same chemical composition. The chemical composition in the steel is as follows by weight percentage: C: 0.12% to 0.16%; Si: 0.20% to 0.3%; Mn: 1.2% to 1.5%; P≤0.02%; S≤0.005%; Nb: 0.02% to 0.03%; V: 0.02% to 0.03%; Als: 0.01% to 0.03%; the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0036] The flexible and efficient production method of low alloy steel with a yield strength of 420-460 MPa described in the present invention comprises the following process steps: converter smelting - LF refining - continuous casting - heating - rolling - controlled cooling after rolling - straightening - cooling bed - shearing, etc., and specifically controls the following process:
[0037] 1) Converter smelting and LF refining;
[0038] The smelting raw materials are pretreated with molten iron, and the converter smelting adopts top and bottom double blowing to ensure that P ≤ 0.02% when the converter steel is tapped.
[0039] During the LF furnace refining process, white slag is made, aluminum iron is used for deoxidation to ensure that the oxygen content is less than 20ppm, and calcium is fed to modify MnS inclusions to ensure that the soft blowing time is ≥8min to promote the floating of inclusions; the total LF refining treatment time is 35-50min, and the LF outgoing station ensures that S is ≤0.005%;
[0040] 2) Continuous casting;
[0041] Low superheat and strong electromagnetic stirring technology are used to reduce central segregation. The superheat is controlled at 17-23°C, the electromagnetic stirring current intensity in the secondary cooling zone is 700-900A, and positive and reverse alternating stirring is adopted, and continuous stirring is 30-60s; the pulling speed is controlled at 1.05-1.15m / min, and the heavy pressure reduction process is adopted at the end of the solidification of the ingot. The heavy pressure reduction positions are preferably 10, 11 and 12 sections, and the total reduction is 15-20mm; the proportion of columnar crystals is minimized to the greatest extent, the density of the continuous casting ingot is improved, and the central segregation of the ingot is ensured to reach C0.5 level according to YB / T4003 "Continuous Casting Steel Slab Low-Magnification Structure Defect Rating Chart".
[0042] 3) heating;
[0043] After the continuous casting slab comes off the line, it is hot-charged and sent to a walking-beam heating furnace for heating. The temperature of the ingot entering the furnace is not less than 550°C. It passes through the preheating section, heating section and soaking section in sequence before being discharged from the furnace. The temperature range of the preheating section is 700-950°C, and the preheating time is 0.5-1h; the temperature range of the heating section is 1210±20°C, and the heating time is 1-1.5h; the temperature range of the soaking section is 1170±20°C, and the soaking time is 0.5-1h; the total time in the furnace is 2-4h; the temperature of the continuous casting slab when discharged from the furnace is 1150-1180°C, and the temperature difference between the surface and the core of the ingot is guaranteed not to exceed 25°C, which not only ensures the full solid solution of the micro-alloy elements, but also reduces the size of the original austenite grains.
[0044] After the continuous casting billet leaves the heating furnace, it shall be descaled at least twice with the descaling water pressure of 20-25MPa to ensure that no primary iron oxide scale remains on the surface of the steel plate.
[0045] 4) rolling;
[0046] The present invention adopts a controlled rolling production mode for steel plates with a thickness of 10 to 40 mm. Among them, a single-block controlled rolling strategy is adopted for steel plates with a thickness of 10 to 20 mm, and the intermediate billet is not cooled to a temperature, and finish rolling is performed immediately after the rough rolling is completed. A cross-rolling strategy, i.e., multi-block controlled rolling, is adopted for steel plates with a thickness of 20 to 40 mm. Since it is a single stand, after the rough rolling of the last steel plate in the rough rolling stage is completed during cross rolling, the first steel plate in the finish rolling stage is immediately finished with finish rolling, and after the finish rolling of the first steel plate in the finish rolling stage is completed, the second steel plate is immediately finished with finish rolling, and so on, until the finish rolling of the last steel plate is completed.
[0047] The continuous casting billet is rolled immediately after descaling, the rough rolling start temperature is 980-1030°C, the rough rolling widening stage is completed in 2-4 passes, the pass reduction rate is 8%-18%, the pass interval time is 4-10s, and the rolling rate is 0.8-1.2m / s; the rough rolling longitudinal rolling stage has a reduction rate of at least 23%-28%, a rolling speed of 0.5-1.0m / s, a pass interval time of 10-15s, and the reduction rate of the remaining rough rolling passes is 16%-23%, the rolling speed is 1.0-2.0m / s, and the pass interval time is 5-10s. The dynamic and static recrystallization ratios are respectively increased by low temperature and large reduction and appropriately increasing the pass interval time to ensure complete recrystallization in the rough rolling stage. The thickness of the intermediate billet is 2 to 3 times the thickness of the finished steel plate, the reduction rate of each finishing rolling pass is 10% to 20%, the rolling speed is 2.5 to 3.3 m / s, and the pass interval time is 3 to 8 s. The purpose is to increase the internal energy storage of the rolled steel plate and refine the grains through rapid and large reduction rolling; the present invention has no requirements for the finishing rolling temperature.
[0048] 5) Cooling;
[0049] After rolling, the steel plate quickly enters the cooling system for cooling, with a cooling rate of 8-15°C / s. The red-return temperature of Q420 grade steel plate is 610-650°C, and the red-return temperature of Q460 grade steel plate is 570-610°C. Rapid cooling reduces the release of internal energy stored in the steel plate after rolling, thereby refining the grain size, improving the elongation and -20°C low-temperature impact performance.
[0050] 6) Straightening, cooling bed and shearing, etc.;
[0051] After rapid cooling, the steel plate is straightened to ensure the plate shape. After straightening, it is cooled on a cooling bed. When the temperature of the steel plate is lower than 100℃, it is placed on the cooling bed for online shearing and finally stored.
[0052] In the present invention, the thickness of the continuous casting billet is 200-250 mm, the thickness of the finished steel plate is 10-40 mm, the ferrite grain size of the finished steel plate is in the range of 9-11, and the grains are uniform and fine.
[0053] When rolling by conventional process, the steel plate needs to be air-cooled to the start temperature of finishing rolling after rough rolling (usually takes 1 to 4 minutes), and laminar cooling is performed after rolling. The production method of the present invention is suitable for the production of steel plates with a thickness of 10-40 mm, wherein when rolling steel plates with a thickness of 10 to 20 mm, a single block controlled rolling mode is adopted but the intermediate billet is not cooled (because the controlled rolling mode of the fully automatic rolling mill will have two more passes than the hot rolling mode), and finishing rolling is performed immediately after the rough rolling is completed; when rolling steel plates with a thickness of 20 to 40 mm (excluding 20 mm), multiple steel plates are controlled and rolled at the same time, and when multiple controlled rolling is performed, the first steel plate in the finishing rolling stage is immediately finished after the rough rolling of the last steel plate, and the second steel plate in the finishing rolling stage is immediately finished after the finishing rolling of the first steel plate, and so on to ensure that the rolling mill does not stop, thereby improving the rolling efficiency.
[0054] The finished product performance of the 420MPa yield strength steel plate produced by the method of the present invention is: yield strength ≥420MPa, tensile strength 520-680MPa, elongation ≥19%, -20℃ Charpy impact energy ≥180J; the mechanical properties meet the Q420 level requirements of GB / T1591 "Low Alloy High Strength Structural Steel" standard.
[0055] The finished product performance of the 460MPa yield strength steel plate produced by the method of the present invention is: yield strength ≥460MPa, tensile strength 540-720MPa, elongation ≥17%, -20℃ Charpy impact energy ≥150J; the mechanical properties meet the Q460 level requirements of GB / T1591 "Low Alloy High Strength Structural Steel" standard.
