Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of steel rolling technology in the field of metallurgy, and relates to a method for producing a fine lamellar eutectoid iron oxide scale steel plate. Background Art

[0002] As industrial energy conservation, emission reduction, and green manufacturing become increasingly important for the development of the steel industry, extensive research has been conducted both domestically and internationally on pickling-free steel production technologies. A representative example is pickling-free technology focused on scale control. Pickling-free steel exhibits a strong bond between the scale and the substrate, allowing it to withstand deformation without breaking off, allowing the steel to be used directly without undergoing a pickling process.

[0003] Iron oxide scale is composed of layers of Fe2O3, Fe3O4, eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe, and FeO. Fe3O4 and eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe have higher tensile strength than Fe2O3 and FeO, are more resistant to deformation, and are less susceptible to shedding during processing. Current research on pickling-free steels focuses on controlling rolling and cooling schedules to increase the Fe3O4 content and reduce the overall thickness of the oxide scale. Because eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe is a lamellar structure composed of alternating α-Fe and Fe3O4, the spacing between these lamellar structures determines the toughness of the oxide scale. Smaller lamellar spacing results in greater toughness and less resistance to shedding during deformation. Currently, no research specifically addresses the generation of eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe oxide scale with fine lamellar spacing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a method for producing fine lamellar eutectoid iron oxide scale steel plate, in which the generated lamellar eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe structure accounts for more than 50% of the total iron oxide scale, the lamellar spacing is 80nm to 200nm, and the total iron oxide scale thickness is less than 10um.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] A method for producing a fine lamellar eutectoid iron oxide scale steel plate comprises the following steps:

[0007] (1) Finish rolling the intermediate billet after rough rolling and descaling to obtain finished rolled plate;

[0008] (2) cooling the finished rolled plate to obtain a plate strip;

[0009] (3) coiling the strip to obtain a hot-rolled steel coil;

[0010] (4) Cooling the hot-rolled steel coil to room temperature.

[0011] Furthermore, the inlet temperature of the finishing rolling in step (1) of the present invention is ≤1030°C.

[0012] Furthermore, the final rolling temperature of the finishing rolling in step (1) of the present invention is 850°C to 900°C.

[0013] Furthermore, the cooling in step (2) of the present invention adopts front-stage concentrated laminar cooling, and the cooling rate is 30°C / s to 50°C / s.

[0014] Furthermore, the coiling temperature in step (3) of the present invention is 540°C to 570°C.

[0015] Furthermore, the hot-rolled steel coils in step (4) of the present invention are stacked in a pit and cooled to room temperature.

[0016] Furthermore, the mass percentages of Si, Ni and Cr in the steel plate of the present invention are controlled as follows: Si≤0.5%, Ni≤0.01%, Cr≤0.5%.

[0017] Furthermore, the lamellar spacing of the lamellar eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe structure in the surface oxide scale of the hot-rolled steel plate produced by the method of the present invention is 80nm~200nm, the lamellar eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe structure accounts for more than 50% of the total oxide scale, and the total oxide scale thickness is less than 10um.

[0018] The inventive principle of the technical solution of the present invention is:

[0019] Controlling a lower finishing rolling temperature can inhibit the growth of iron oxide scale and keep the total iron oxide scale thickness at a low level; low coiling temperature can inhibit the precipitation of Fe3O4 in the iron oxide scale in the FeO layer; stacking and cooling in a pit after coiling can keep the steel coils warm and slow down the cooling rate, and the pit is oxygen-poor, providing better conditions for eutectoid; Si, Ni, and Cr elements in steel can cause the presence of olivine, making the iron oxide scale easy to break and easy to generate Fe2O3, but not easy to form eutectoid structure, so their content needs to be controlled.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] The present invention controls the lamellar spacing of the lamellar eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe structure to be between 80nm and 200nm by controlling the rolling and cooling of the finishing rolling and coiling processes, and controlling parameters such as the finishing rolling inlet temperature, the finishing rolling outlet temperature and the coiling temperature. The lamellar eutectoid Fe3O4 / α-Fe structure accounts for more than 50% of the total iron oxide scale, the FeO content is low, and the total iron oxide scale thickness is less than 10um. The iron oxide scale within this lamellar spacing range and proportion has good toughness and is not easy to fall off when subjected to processing deformation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
