Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a bridge plate and its manufacturing method, specifically to a thick Q500qF bridge plate and its manufacturing method, belonging to the field of metallurgical technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing application of high-strength bridge steel in key national projects, especially with the increasing investment in construction in the western regions of the country, which are remote areas with high altitudes and complex terrain, the steel used in the assembly and design projects is complex and has high performance requirements. Large-thickness steel plates are needed to reduce the amount of welding in the butt welds and reduce the difficulty of construction.

[0003] Meanwhile, the complex environment in such areas necessitates careful consideration of bridge construction safety during the design phase. This requires the development of cold-resistant bridge decks with wide widths and high performance to improve the fracture toughness, low-temperature toughness, and seismic resistance of the steel.

[0004] Patent application CN112210719A discloses a low-cost, high-performance Q500 bridge steel and its production method: the steel plate composition system requires the addition of V and Cu, and the thickness is 10-60mm. The thickness range of the produced steel plates is small and cannot meet the needs of remote areas with high altitude and complex terrain.

[0005] Patent CN 114381663 A discloses a 100mm thick HPS420WZ35 weathering bridge plate and its production method to ensure performance. The steel plate has a strength of 420MPa, which is low, and the thickness is only 100mm; this patent does not cover thicknesses greater than 100mm. Patent CN 114262845 B discloses a 500MPa grade thin-gauge bridge plate and its production method. This patent relates to a method for producing bridge plates with a strength level of 500MPa or higher, delivered in a tempering-free TMCP state, and with specifications ranging from 6 to 16m. However, the produced steel plate has a small thickness range, which cannot meet the needs of remote areas with high altitudes and complex terrain.

[0006] Therefore, developing a thick Q500qF bridge plate that can overcome the above defects and its production method has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by proposing a thick Q500qF bridge plate and its production method. This method adopts a low C content composition design and adds Nb, Cr and Mo in a composite manner. Through a special rolling controlled cooling mode, a multiphase steel plate with bainitic + ferrite + martensite structure is obtained, ensuring that the strength, extremely low yield strength ratio, -60℃ low temperature impact, impact fiber ratio and aging impact meet the requirements.

[0008] The technical solution of this invention to solve the above technical problems is:

[0009] A thick Q500qF bridge deck, the chemical composition of which, by mass percentage, is as follows: C: 0.07-0.11%, Mn: 1.70-2.00%, Cr: 0.35-0.70%, P≤0.015%, S≤0.005%, Nb: 0.015-0.045%, Mo: 0.15-0.45%, with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, the sum of the above components being 100%.

[0010] Technical benefits: This invention employs low-carbon C (0.07-0.11%) and a multiphase microstructure design to improve the seismic safety factor.

[0011] This invention also designs a method for producing thick Q500qF bridge plates. The production process includes converter smelting, refining, continuous casting, billet heating, rolling, and heat treatment, wherein:

[0012] (1) Rolling process: In order to obtain multiphase structure and improve the toughness of steel plate, the rough rolling temperature is 900-980℃, the finishing rolling temperature is 700-750℃, and the water immersion temperature is 500-630℃.

[0013] (2) Controlled cooling process in rolling: The temperature of the steel plate when it turns red is limited to 400-500℃;

[0014] (3) Heat treatment process: Tempering is carried out at a temperature of 480-600℃ to eliminate surface stress of steel plate and improve mechanical properties.

[0015] The technical solution further defined in this invention is as follows:

[0016] In the aforementioned production method of thick Q500qF bridge plates, the steel plate is refined using LF+RH refining to ensure that the gas H content of the steel plate is ≤0.5ppm and the N content is ≤35ppm.

[0017] In the aforementioned production method of thick Q500qF bridge plates, the thickness of the produced bridge plates is 100-150mm.

[0018] Technical advantages: The bridge plates produced by this invention have a thickness of 100-150mm, which is much higher than the design thickness of ordinary bridge plates. This makes them more suitable for remote areas with high altitudes and complex terrain. The thick steel plates reduce the amount of welding required for butt welds and lower the difficulty of construction.

[0019] In the aforementioned production method of thick Q500qF bridge deck, the produced bridge deck has a yield strength ≥500Mpa, tensile strength 630-750Mpa, elongation ≥18%, conventional impact strength at -60℃ ≥250J, and yield strength ratio ≤0.86.

[0020] In the aforementioned production method of thick Q500qF bridge deck, the produced bridge deck has an impact cross-sectional fiber content of ≥90% and an aging impact performance of ≥150J with 5% deformation.

[0021] Technical benefits include excellent performance with a yield strength ≥500 MPa, tensile strength 630-750 MPa, elongation ≥18%, conventional impact strength at -60℃ ≥250 J, yield-to-tensile ratio ≤0.86, fiber content in impact section ≥90%, and aging impact performance with 5% deformation ≥150 J. These indicators can significantly improve the welding and assembly characteristics of steel plates to adapt to the high altitude and complex laying environment in western regions.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] (1) Low-temperature austenitization technology reduces the original austenite grain size, ensuring the stability of the product's low-temperature impact toughness; (2) By controlling the second-stage rolling temperature, final rolling temperature, and relaxation technology, combined with water cooling process, the yield strength of the product is effectively reduced, ensuring the stability of tensile strength and the stability of the product's yield strength ratio; (3) By controlling the controlled cooling process, the grain size of the microstructure is effectively refined, and the microstructure transformation is ensured by the second-stage rolling temperature and water immersion temperature, obtaining a multiphase microstructure with polygonal ferrite, bainite, martensite, etc., thereby improving the strength and toughness of the steel plate. Compared with the Q500qF steel plate produced by ordinary quenching and tempering, it has a high yield strength ratio, poor weldability, and small excess impact toughness.

[0024] The production method of this invention adopts a low C content composition design, and by adding Nb, Cr and Mo composite, and through a special rolling controlled cooling mode, a multiphase steel plate with bainite + ferrite + martensite structure is obtained, which ensures that the strength, extremely low yield strength ratio, -60℃ low temperature impact, impact fiber ratio and aging impact meet the requirements.

[0025] In the controlled rolling process of this invention, the roughing temperature is 900-980℃, the finishing temperature is 700-750℃, and the water immersion temperature is 500-630℃. This is to control the rolling of the continuously cast billet in the austenite recrystallization zone, the non-recrystallization zone, and the deformation-induced phase transformation zone, so that a large number of dislocations are formed inside the steel plate and a large distortion energy is retained, achieving the purpose of repeatedly refining austenite grains. This results in the generation of fine ferrite and bainite grains in the subsequent controlled cooling process, thereby ensuring the low yield strength ratio and low-temperature impact toughness of the steel plate. Simultaneously, by controlling the water immersion temperature and using relaxation technology, the ferrite content is increased, further effectively reducing the yield strength ratio. The controlled cooling process of this invention uses rapid ACC cooling with a red-hot temperature of 400-500℃, ensuring that the bainitic phase transformation is completed throughout the thickness direction, improving the high strength and toughness of the steel plate. At the same time, the higher red-hot temperature can prevent secondary warping of the steel plate due to uneven cooling, ensuring a straight plate shape and reducing the generation of corrugations.

[0026] The heat treatment of this invention uses tempering at a temperature of 480-600℃ to eliminate surface stress on the steel plate and improve its mechanical properties. Detailed Implementation
