Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and in particular relates to a production method of 600MPa high-strength steel bars. Background Art

[0002] HRB600 is the grade of threaded steel bars specified in "Steel for Reinforced Concrete" GB 1499.2-2018. In modern buildings and infrastructure, high-strength steel bars are being used more and more widely. They not only improve the bearing capacity of the structure, but also reduce material usage and engineering costs.

[0003] Due to the wide range of standard components and the differences in production equipment and process control of manufacturers, the components of HRB600 hot-rolled ribbed steel bars produced by various manufacturers are different, and the production processes of various steel mills are also different. The existing HRB600 steel bars have poor mechanical strength and unstable performance. In order to improve the strength of the steel bars and reduce production costs, the present invention adopts vanadium-nitrogen microalloying combined with controlled cooling after rolling to produce HRB600 steel bars for mechanical connection. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a production method of 600MPa high-strength steel bars, thereby improving the strength of the steel bars and reducing production costs.

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

[0006] The present invention discloses a production method of 600MPa high-strength steel bars, which adopts a short process of "converter smelting + billet continuous casting and rolling + cooling bed cooling", and adds vanadium in the form of ferrovanadium and vanadium-nitrogen alloy during the smelting process: wherein:

[0007] The argon blowing operation is carried out according to the refining procedures throughout the whole process. Desulfurization, composition fine-tuning and temperature-raising operations are carried out according to the composition and temperature of the molten steel in the converter. Ferrovanadium and vanadium-nitrogen alloy are added in the later stage of refining. The soft blowing time at the end of refining is guaranteed to be more than 10 minutes to ensure the purity and composition uniformity of the molten steel. After refining, the silicon-calcium wire is fed, and the feeding amount is 200-300m3;

[0008] Protective pouring and electromagnetic stirring technology are used, and the continuous casting speed is 2.3-2.5m / min, thereby reducing surface defects and internal cracks of the ingot and ensuring the high quality of the ingot.

[0009] Strictly control the starting and final rolling temperatures, and through multiple rolling passes, make the steel reach the predetermined size and have a uniform microstructure; heat the continuous casting billet to 1050-1150℃, the starting rolling temperature is 900-1100℃, and the final rolling temperature is 950-1050℃;

[0010] After rolling, the steel bars are placed on a cooling bed to cool naturally to room temperature to avoid internal stress caused by rapid cooling. After the steel bars are cooled to room temperature and pass the inspection, they are wound up and packaged for shipment.

[0011] The chemical composition of the high-strength steel bar is as follows: C 0.21-0.28%, Si 0.60-0.70%, Mn 1.50-1.60%, V 0.15-0.21%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0012] Furthermore, the chemical composition of the high-strength steel bar is, by mass percentage, C 0.26%, Si 0.67%, Mn 1.53%, V 0.16%, P 0.015%, S 0.012%, and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0013] Furthermore, the chemical composition of the high-strength steel bar is, by mass percentage, C 0.27%, Si 0.68%, Mn 1.54%, V 0.15%, P 0.022%, S 0.022%, and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0014] Furthermore, the chemical composition of the high-strength steel bar is, by mass percentage, C 0.27%, Si 0.65%, Mn 1.53%, V 0.15%, P 0.023%, S 0.015%, and the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0015] Furthermore, the electromagnetic stirring current was 580 A and the frequency was 1.8 Hz.

[0016] Furthermore, the continuous casting speed is 2.4 m / min.

[0017] Furthermore, in the LF furnace refining, auxiliary materials are added to form slag according to the composition of the molten steel and the temperature changes, and alloys are added for fine adjustment and temperature increase operations; 300 kg of lime, bauxite and vanadium-nitrogen alloy are added.
