Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of steel forming technology and relates to a forming process for hot-roll bending of sharp-cornered closed-section steel. Background Technology

[0002] With the widespread adoption of prefabricated building structures, the demand for closed-section steel, especially square and rectangular tubes, is increasing. Conventional cold-formed closed-section steel suffers from thinning in the rounded corner areas, large corner radii, and high residual stress, limiting its application in high-rise buildings. Furthermore, if cold-formed sharp-corner steel is used, the corner areas undergo work hardening, exacerbating the risk of cracking.

[0003] Existing methods for forming sharp-angle steel sections involve either cold bending followed by heating the rounded corners for extrusion sizing, or cold bending followed by overall heating for extrusion sizing of the sharp corners. This process adds a heating step, increasing the cost of the sharp-angle steel. Furthermore, residual stress remains in the bend areas of sharp-angle steel formed in this way, limiting its application in high-rise buildings. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to solve the above problems and provide a forming process for hot roll bending of sharp-corner closed steel sections. This process utilizes the high temperature of the hot-rolled steel plate to directly roll bend the steel into sharp-corner closed steel sections, thereby shortening the process flow, reducing the cost of the steel sections, and improving the product quality of the sharp-corner steel sections.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A forming process for hot roll bending of sharp-corner closed-section steel involves dividing the four sharp corners of the steel section into two groups: a first bend and a second bend. The first bend consists of the two bends on the outer side of the unfolded steel plate, and the second bend consists of the two bends on the inner side of the unfolded steel plate. The sharp-corner closed-section steel is directly roll-bent using the high temperature of the hot-rolled steel plate. The roll bending process includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Initial forming of the first bend: The high-temperature steel plate is hot-rolled at the two first bends to obtain a U-shaped open steel section.

[0008] S2, First bend corner finishing: Finishing the first bend corner of the open steel section to make the first bend corner into a sharp corner;

[0009] S3, Initial forming of the second bend: Forming the two second bend portions on the inner side of the high-temperature steel plate;

[0010] S4. Precision forming: Further forming of the first and second bends of the open steel section;

[0011] S5. Welding: Welding and fusion are performed on the closed sections of the open-section steel to form a closed-section steel.

[0012] S6. Weld cooling: Cool the weld of the closed-section steel.

[0013] S7. Second bend corner sharpening: The two corresponding second bend corners on the closed steel section are finely shaped into sharp corners.

[0014] S8. Sizing: Sizing the closed-section steel to form a qualified product.

[0015] S9. Cooling: Cool the closed-section steel after sizing.

[0016] S10, Cut to length: Cut the cooled steel sections to length.

[0017] S10. Collection and warehousing: Collect the completed steel sections to the finished product warehouse.

[0018] Furthermore, the initial angle of the first bend in S1 is 85° to 92°.

[0019] Furthermore, in S2, a slanted roller is used to finish the first bend of the open-end steel, and the bend of the first bend after initial forming is finished into a sharp corner with an outer radius close to zero.

[0020] Furthermore, the initial angle of the second bend in S3 is 65° to 75°.

[0021] Furthermore, in S7, a combination of flat and vertical rollers is used to refine the bend of the second bend in the closed-end steel into a sharp corner with an outer radius close to zero.

[0022] Optionally, the second bend and sharp corner finishing process can be carried out simultaneously with the sizing process.

[0023] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0024] This invention efficiently utilizes the deformation advantage of high-temperature steel plates to deform the bends of the steel profiles into sharp angles. The first bend deforms to 85°–92° during the initial forming stage, which is beneficial for subsequent sharp angle finishing processes and edge fusion during welding. The second bend's sharp angle finishing and sizing processes are performed simultaneously, which helps improve forming efficiency.

[0034] Please see Figures 1-3This describes a hot roll bending forming process for sharp-corner closed-section steel. The four sharp corners of the steel section are divided into two groups: a first bend (11) and a second bend (12). The first bend consists of the two outer bends on the unfolded steel plate, and the second bend consists of the two inner bends on the unfolded steel plate. The sharp-corner closed-section steel is directly formed by roll bending using the high temperature of the hot-rolled steel plate. Taking hot roll bending of square and rectangular tubes as an example, the forming method is "direct square forming." The roll bending process includes the following steps:

[0035] S1. Initial forming of the first bend: The high-temperature steel plate 1 is hot-rolled to form the first bend 11 part of the two bends. The angle of the first bend 11 after initial forming is 85°~92°, resulting in a U-shaped open steel section 21.

[0036] S2. First bend corner finishing: The first bend corner 11 of the open steel 21 is finished by using the inclined roller 23 to finish the first bend corner of the open steel 21, and the bend corner of the first bend corner after initial forming is finished into a sharp corner with an outer radius close to zero, thus obtaining the sharp corner open steel 22.

[0037] S3. Initial forming of the second bend: The two second bends 12 on the inner side of the high-temperature steel plate 1 are formed. The angle of the second bend after initial forming is 65°~75°.

[0038] S4. Precision forming: Further forming of the first and second bends of the open steel section 22;

[0039] S5. Welding: High-frequency welding is used to weld and fuse the closed positions of the open section steel 22 to form a closed section steel.

[0040] S6. Weld cooling: Use air cooling, water cooling or other methods to cool the weld of closed-section steel.

[0041] S7. Second bend corner finishing: The two corresponding second bend corners on the closed steel section are finished into sharp corners. The bend corners of the second bend corners in the closed steel section are finished into sharp corners with an outer radius close to zero by using a combination of flat and vertical rollers.

[0042] S8. Sizing: Sizing the closed-section steel to form a qualified product.

[0043] S9. Cooling: Cool the closed-section steel after sizing.

[0044] S10, Cut to length: Cut the cooled steel sections to length.

[0045] S10. Collection and warehousing: Collect the completed steel sections to the finished product warehouse.

[0046] The sizing process is carried out simultaneously with the finishing of the second bend angle.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
