Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing hot-rolled steel sections. Background Art

[0003] As the central government continues to clarify its policies on the development of prefabricated buildings, local governments are also implementing supporting policies intensively. While some provinces and cities have issued special guidance opinions and related supporting measures on prefabricated buildings, they have also proposed development plans for steel structure buildings, clarifying the scope of promotion and implementation of steel structure building forms and the proportion of steel structures used in various types of new buildings.

[0004] Steel pipes, steel sections and plates jointly replace rebar to reduce volume, and steel sections compete with plates and steel pipes.

[0005] Hot-rolled steel competitive threat: According to data from the China Steel Structure Association, hot-rolled steel accounts for 14.3%, and substitutes - cold-formed steel, welded H-steel, and main plate steel for steel structures (66.5%) are the main threats to steel.

[0006] In 2023, the international new shipbuilding market will continue to maintain strong demand, and orders for traditional mainstream ship types, bulk carriers and oil tankers, will grow rapidly. On the other hand, benefiting from the continued stable and substantial growth in my country's new energy vehicle exports, freight rates in the global car carrier operating market are high, and demand for new ship orders continues to be hot. my country's shipbuilders have seized the historic opportunity of the shortage in the car carrier market and are taking on orders for various large-scale car carriers in batches.

[0007] my country's backbone shipbuilding companies have obvious competitive advantages, with new orders of 71.2 million deadweight tons, a significant year-on-year increase of 56.4%, accounting for 66.6% of the global total. For three consecutive years, the volume of new orders has been above 40 million deadweight tons, driving a steady recovery in demand for shipbuilding steel. Statistics show that in 2023, the total amount of shipbuilding steel in my country will exceed 14 million tons, continuing to grow by 16.7% year-on-year, maintaining rapid growth for two consecutive years. In terms of varieties, plates are 12 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 17.6%, profiles are 1.15 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 15%, and other varieties are 850,000 tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%.

[0008] It is expected that in 2024, the shipbuilding industry will maintain steady growth, thereby driving steady growth in the consumption of ship steel; at the same time, the demand for ship repair, marine ranching, offshore wind power, etc. is expected to maintain a certain growth. It is estimated that the annual steel consumption of my country's shipbuilding industry will be about 17.8 million tons, an increase of about 3% year-on-year. Summary of the invention

[0009] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects, the present invention aims to provide a convenient and flexible method for hot rolling steel sections, which has simple process, energy saving and high efficiency.

[0010] To achieve the above object, the method for manufacturing hot-rolled steel sections of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0011] 1) The raw materials are smelted and continuously cast by a steelmaking process to obtain a casting billet;

[0012] 2) heating the ingot at 1150-1250° C. for 1.0-3.0 hours;

[0013] 3) Above 1100℃, the steel is rolled through 3-7 passes on the first frame, and then above 1000℃, the steel is rolled through 3-7 passes on the second frame, and finally rolled through 3-9 universal rolling mills; then it is cut into 6-24m fixed length or double length by hot saw, and then cooled to below 80℃ on the cooling bed, and after being taken off the cooling bed and passed through the straightening machine, it is stacked and collected and stored in the finished product warehouse.

[0014] Furthermore, the steel sections include but are not limited to: bulb flat steel, L-shaped steel, track steel, elevator guide rail steel, and H-shaped steel.
