Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of metallurgy, and relates to a method for improving the central density of a S460NL steel continuous casting large round billet, and in particular to a method for improving the central density of a S460NL steel continuous casting large round billet for a high-strength wind power flange. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid increase in wind turbine power and the need to reduce the weight of wind turbine towers, higher-strength wind turbine flanges are urgently needed to replace low-strength wind turbine flanges.
[0003] High-strength wind turbine flanges are mainly used to manufacture high-power offshore and onshore wind turbines. Their main function is to connect the tower to ensure that the tower has sufficient height. In the process of wind power generation, the flange, as a tower connector, is subjected to extremely complex forces, so the wind turbine flange is required to have good comprehensive mechanical properties, low temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. The larger the wind turbine, the larger the wind turbine flange.
[0004] In view of the fact that wind turbine flanges are subjected to tensile stress, compressive stress, bending load, torsion load or bending-torsion composite load during their service, and may be subjected to certain impacts, and the stress state is complex, the wind turbine flanges are required to have excellent mechanical properties, and at the same time, the mechanical properties are required to be isotropic, so the finished wind turbine flanges are required to be formed by integral forging, and welding is not allowed. Therefore, large-section continuous casting round billets or die casting round ingots must be used for forging. Compared with die casting, continuous casting has the characteristics of high metal recovery rate, relatively stable quality and low cost. Therefore, most of the wind turbine flanges are currently made of continuous casting round billets as raw materials through forging.
[0005] According to the characteristics of thermal shrinkage during the solidification process of metal, large-section continuous casting round billets are inevitably accompanied by relatively serious central shrinkage and central porosity during the solidification process. After being forged into large wind power flanges, the non-destructive ultrasonic flaw detection pass rate is low due to poor density, and there is a scrap rate of 2-3%. In order to reduce the scrap rate of large wind power flange products, it is necessary to ensure the central density of large-section continuous casting round billets as raw materials. Therefore, how to improve the central density of large-section continuous casting round billets has become the key to improving the flaw detection pass rate of large wind power flange products. Summary of the invention
[0006] In order to solve the problem of low qualified rate of ultrasonic non-destructive testing of finished large wind turbine flanges due to central looseness of S460NL steel Φ800mm large-section continuous casting billets for high-strength wind turbine flanges and central looseness, the present invention provides a method for improving the central density of S460NL steel continuous casting large round billets.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] In order to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of the present invention, the present invention is described in detail through the following specific embodiments. Except for the following contents, the process method of the present invention adopts conventional methods or devices in the art. Unless otherwise specified, the following terms have the meanings commonly understood by those skilled in the art.
[0025] When a numerical range is disclosed herein, the above range is considered to be continuous and includes the minimum and maximum values of the range, as well as every value between such minimum and maximum values. Further, when a range refers to an integer, every integer between the minimum and maximum values of the range is included. In addition, when multiple ranges are provided to describe a feature or characteristic, the ranges can be combined. In other words, unless otherwise indicated, all ranges disclosed herein should be understood to include any and all subranges included therein.
[0026] The main defect of large-scale wind turbine flange products is the low pass rate of non-destructive ultrasonic testing caused by poor density. The main reason is that the loose area in the center of the continuous casting billet is too large, resulting in different degrees of loose defects in the final finished flange. How to improve the center density of large-section continuous casting billets has become the key to improving the pass rate of large-scale wind turbine flange products. According to the characteristics of thermal shrinkage during the solidification process of metals, continuous casting billets will inevitably cause center looseness and center shrinkage during the solidification process, which is particularly serious for large-section continuous casting billets. Therefore, not only should the purpose of reducing center shrinkage and center looseness be achieved by controlling the solidification process, but also a process that can improve the center density of large-section continuous casting billets has been developed to solve this problem.
[0027] The present invention breaks through the technical barrier that traditional large round billets are difficult to implement large-scale pressing, and successfully implements the end multi-point dynamic large-scale pressing process on S460NL steel Φ800mm large round billets for large-scale high-strength wind power flanges.
[0028] Specifically, the terminal multi-point dynamic large pressing process adopted by the present invention is as follows: when the surface temperature T ranges from 830℃>T≥810℃, press down by 20mm-25mm; when the surface temperature ranges from 810℃>T≥790℃, press down by 18mm-23mm; when the surface temperature ranges from 790℃>T≥770℃, press down by 15mm-22mm; when the surface temperature ranges from 770℃>T≥750℃, press down by 12mm-20mm; when the surface temperature ranges from 750℃>T≥730℃, press down by 8mm-15mm; when the surface temperature ranges from 730℃>T≥710℃, press down by 4mm-10mm; when the surface temperature ranges from 710℃>T≥690℃, press down by 3mm-5mm, and the overall pressing amount at the end of solidification is controlled to be 80mm-120mm.
[0029] The large round billet is processed according to the terminal multi-point dynamic large reduction process of the present invention, which significantly reduces the central looseness and central shrinkage of the continuous casting large round billet, thereby improving the flaw detection pass rate of large-sized wind power flanges.
[0030] In addition, the present invention also controls the composition and process of the continuous casting large round billet, and further improves the central density of the large-section continuous casting billet by improving the uniformity of the composition of the cross-section of the billet.
[0031] In some preferred embodiments, the chemical composition of the continuous casting large round billet of the present invention is as follows, by weight percentage: C 0.17-0.19%, Si 0.30-0.60%, Mn 1.55-1.65%, P≤0.015%, S≤0.005%, Nb 0.03-0.06%, V 0.05-0.10%, Ti≤0.0050%, Cr≤0.30%, Ni≤0.8%, Cu≤0.10%, Mo≤0.10%, Al 0.018~0.033%, carbon equivalent CEV=C+Mn / 6+(Cr+Mo+V) / 5+(Ni+Cu) / 15 is controlled as 0.44%≤CEV≤0.49%, the contents of H, O and N in steel are controlled as: H≤2ppm, O≤20ppm, N:70-150ppm, the remainder is Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0032] The present invention controls the composition of molten steel within the above range, thereby ensuring that the mechanical properties of the finished large-size wind turbine flange meet the mechanical property requirements of 460MPa-level high-strength wind turbine flanges.
[0033] In order to effectively control the central shrinkage cavity, central looseness and macro segregation, so as to improve the flaw detection pass rate and mechanical property stability of large-size wind power flanges, the present invention has developed a dedicated continuous casting process for high-strength wind power flanges based on a full study of the characteristics of the steel grade.
[0034] Specifically, the proprietary continuous casting process of the high-strength wind power flange includes: crystallizing the molten steel in a φ800mm crystallizer, setting up three-stage electromagnetic stirring during the continuous casting process, and the stirring operation is limited as follows: the current of the crystallizer electromagnetic stirring is 210A-250A, the frequency is 2.4-2.8Hz, and the reversing time is 20-25s; the second cooling zone electromagnetic stirring is set at a position 10.5m-14.2m away from the meniscus, and the current of the second cooling zone electromagnetic stirring is 80-100A, the frequency is 1.8-2.0Hz, and the reversing time is 20-25s; the end electromagnetic stirring is set at 17.0m-18.5m away from the meniscus, and the current of the end electromagnetic stirring is 320-350A, the frequency is 1.0-1.2Hz, and the reversing time is 20-25s.
[0035] In order to reduce the central looseness and shrinkage of large-sized continuous casting billets, a lower superheat should be used as much as possible, and in order to ensure that the continuous casting process proceeds smoothly without interruption of casting, the superheat of the tundish is controlled to be 15°C-35°C during the continuous casting process of the present invention.
[0036] Since the drawing speed and the water ratio of the secondary cooling water have a great influence on the solidification structure, center quality and surface quality of the ingot, preferably, the drawing speed in the continuous casting process is 0.17-0.19m / min, and the water ratio of the secondary cooling water is controlled to be 0.12-0.14L / kg. The center looseness, shrinkage cavity, center crack, middle crack, subcutaneous crack and subcutaneous bubble on the acid-leached low-magnification test piece of the round ingot cross section are evaluated according to YB / T 4149, and the rating chart is implemented according to YB / T153, all ≤2 level.
[0037] During the research process, the inventor found that the internal stress concentration of the directly air-cooled ingot causes problems such as cracking during subsequent processing by users. Therefore, the continuous casting ingot cannot be directly air-cooled but needs to be slowly cooled.
[0038] In some preferred embodiments, the slow cooling time of the present invention is ≥36h; and the surface temperature of the round billet when leaving the slow cooling pit should be ≤200°C. Slow cooling of the billet according to the method of the present invention can diffuse and evenly distribute the segregation structure (distributed in the surface and core areas) in the billet.
[0039] Through practice, the technical solution of the present invention significantly improves the low-multiple quality of S460NL steel continuous casting large round billets, and the central shrinkage and central looseness of the billets are significantly improved. The final forging of large-size high-strength wind power flange finished products has a significantly reduced flaw detection scrap rate.
