[0022] (1) The embodiment includes the following chemical components in weight percentage: C: 0.40%, Si: 0.34%, Mn: 1.02%, P: 0.003%, S: 0.005%, Ni: 0.80%, Cr: 1.90%, Mo: 0.35%, Nb: 0.020%, Ti: 0.030%, B: 0.0011%, Al: 0.045%, and the rest are Fe and unavoidable impurities, with a total mass fraction of 100%.

[0023] (2) Hot metal pretreatment: After hot metal desulfurization pretreatment, the S content is ≤0.003%.

[0024] (3) Converter steelmaking: The converter adopts the single slag process to ensure the success of carbon extraction in one go. The steel tapping process adopts bottom blowing argon operation. To ensure the effect, the bottom blowing mode of nitrogen and argon switching is adopted. The steel tapping temperature is less than 1670℃.

[0025] (4) LF refining: mainly for the addition of Si, Mn, Nb, V, Ti, Cr, Mo, and the addition of appropriate amount of alloy according to the requirements of internal control components. LF refining is carried out for no less than 40 minutes.

[0026] (5) RH refining: The vacuum treatment time in the RH stage is not less than 30 minutes. The molten steel after RH treatment must first be soft-blown with argon to ensure uniform composition and sufficient floating of inclusions for more than 15 minutes, and then allowed to stand and steel is added. The standing time is Not less than 15 minutes.

[0027] (6) Continuous casting: Electromagnetic stirring and light pressure are used to ensure the quality of the casting.

[0028] (7) Heating process: The slab is cold loaded into the furnace, the time in the furnace is not less than 300 min, and the furnace temperature is 1250°C.

[0029] (8) Hot rolling process: The starting temperature of the rough rolling of the slab is 1230±15℃. Considering that the steel plate is relatively thin, two-stage controlled rolling is not adopted. The final rolling temperature of the steel plate is set to 890±15℃. In addition, the chemical composition design of this steel grade has ensured good hardenability, and the rolled steel plate will also obtain bainite structure under low cooling rate conditions. Considering that ACC acceleration is likely to cause poor shape of thin-gauge steel plates, the steel plate is not subjected to controlled cooling after rolling, and natural cooling in air is adopted.

[0030] (9) Heat treatment process: quenching heating temperature 880℃, keep warm for 30min. After quenching, the steel plate is tempered within 24 hours. Since this steel has high hardness and its microstructure is tempered martensite, the steel plate is tempered at low temperature. Tempering temperature 220℃, keep warm for 60min.

[0036] (5) RH refining: The vacuum treatment time in the RH stage is not less than 30 minutes. The molten steel after RH treatment must first be soft-blown with argon to ensure uniform composition and sufficient floating of inclusions for more than 15 minutes, and then allowed to stand and steel is added, with the standing time being not less than 15 minutes.

[0038] (7) Heating process: The slab is cold loaded into the furnace, the time in the furnace is not less than 300 min, and the furnace temperature is 1250°C.

[0039] (8) Hot rolling process: The starting temperature of the rough rolling of the slab is 1230±15℃. Considering that the steel plate is relatively thin, two-stage controlled rolling is not adopted. The final rolling temperature of the steel plate is set to 900±15℃. In addition, the chemical composition design of this steel grade has ensured good hardenability, and the rolled steel plate will also obtain bainite structure under low cooling rate conditions. Considering that ACC acceleration is likely to cause poor shape of thin-gauge steel plates, the steel plate is not subjected to controlled cooling after rolling, and natural cooling in air is adopted.

[0040] (9) Heat treatment process: quenching heating temperature 880℃, keep warm for 30min. After quenching, the steel plate is tempered within 24 hours. Since this steel has high hardness and its microstructure is tempered martensite, the steel plate is tempered at low temperature. Tempering temperature 220℃, keep warm for 80min.
