Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a cold rolling method of non-oriented silicon steel, in particular to a cold rolling method of two-rolling-process ultra-high-grade non-oriented silicon steel. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of the electrical industry, the demand for the magnetic properties and mechanical properties of electromagnetic materials is higher and higher. However, with the increase of the silicon content, the brittleness of the strip steel increases, and the processing difficulty increases exponentially. In order to further improve the magnetic induction intensity of the silicon steel sheet, the ultra-high-grade non-oriented silicon steel (the silicon content is between 3.0-3.5%) is realized by adopting a twice annealing process during rolling. Compared with the process of the ordinary high-grade cold-rolled silicon steel, the characteristics are that the strip steel is first rolled to the intermediate thickness on the single-stand rolling mill after being heat-treated on the normalizing unit, is annealed for the first time on the continuous annealing unit, is secondly rolled to the final thickness on the single-stand rolling mill, is annealed for the second time on the continuous annealing unit, and is coated. The production method is more than the normal process once intermediate annealing and once cold rolling. The final thickness of the product is generally between 0.15-0.35 mm, the first rolling thickness is controlled between 0.4-0.7 mm according to the process design, and the billet thickness is between 2.1-2.3 mm. The process described in the application is in the cold rolling process.

[0003] The cold rolling described in the application is produced by adopting a twenty-roller rolling mill, in particular a split type 21 twenty-roller rolling mill, and the working roller diameter is used in the range of 65-100 mm.

[0004] The twice cold rolling and twice annealing are the process technical routes for improving the magnetic properties which are widely adopted at present. The difficulties of the process are that the strip steel surface is oxidized in the annealing furnace after the first annealing, the rolling pressure fluctuates greatly during the second rolling, the rolling difficulty is extremely great, the strip is broken more, the production efficiency is low, the yield is low, the surface has serious color difference after the second rolling, the plate shape is unstable, and the qualified product rate is low.

[0005] The application improves the cold rolling process from the mechanism of the surface oxidation of the strip steel after the first annealing, reduces the degree of the surface oxidation of the strip steel, improves the surface quality, reduces the generation of the crack defects, solves the problem of the strip breakage due to the crack in the second rolling process, optimizes the second rolling process, and solves the influence of the surface oxidation of the strip steel after the first annealing on the cold rolling. Finally, the rolling efficiency, the yield and the surface quality of the strip steel are improved. SUMMARY

[0008] In the first cold rolling production method of the steel coil of step one, the first pass to the third last pass working roll roughness adopts a large roughness working roll of 1.2-2.0μm; the first pass working roll diameter is 70-100mm; the roughness of the last two passes working roll adopts a small roughness working roll of 0.15-0.4μm; the last two passes working roll diameter is 70-100mm; the leading strip is cut off before the last pass production, and the sleeve is fed; the first pass rolling speed is 80-260m / min, the second pass rolling speed is 200-400m / min, and the rolling speed of other passes is 400-800m / min; the first pass adopts micro edge wave control, that is, the wave shape displayed by the shape meter is 10-20I, and the other passes adopt small edge wave control, that is, the wave shape displayed by the shape meter is 25-35I.

[0009] If the second rolling pass is two rolling passes in the second cold rolling production method of step two, step (3) in the production method of the second rolling pass is omitted, and (2) directly jumps to (4); the first-pass work roll roughness adopts a work roll of 0.6-1.0 μm; the last-pass work roll roughness adopts a work roll of 0.15-0.4 μm; the absolute reduction of all passes of the second rolling pass is 0.05-0.3 mm, and the rolling speed of each pass is between 200-600 m / min; a steel sleeve is used on the coiler before the last-pass rolling; during the speed-up process of the first-pass rolling, an intermittent method is adopted, i.e. speed-up-keeping-speed-up-keeping……, and the speed is kept once every 30-80 m of speed-up.

[0015] 4. The last-pass of the first rolling pass adopts a small roughness work roll, which aims to reduce the micro-surface area of the strip surface, reduce the contact area of the strip surface and the furnace atmosphere, and thus reduce the oxidation degree of the strip.

[0016] 5. The first-pass of the second rolling pass adopts a large roughness work roll, which aims to break the oxidation layer of the strip surface, reduce the fluctuation of rolling pressure in the rolling process, improve the uniformity of the surface and the stability of rolling, and avoid color difference of the strip surface.

[0017] 6. The last-pass of the second rolling pass adopts a small roughness work roll, which aims to ensure the final surface roughness of the strip and improve the consistency of the surface. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] The related industries such as electric vehicles develop rapidly, and the requirements for the electromagnetic properties and mechanical properties of silicon steel are higher and higher. With the upgrading of silicon steel process equipment, the cold-rolled silicon steel has great changes in the process flow, such as thin gauge high grade and ultra-high grade non-oriented silicon steel has been mass produced on the tandem cold rolling mill. However, the products with high electromagnetic properties and mechanical properties can only be produced by twice intermediate annealing and two rolling processes at present.
