[0039] In addition, the term "and / or" in this article is only a description of the association relationship between the associated objects, indicating that there can be three relationships. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this article generally indicates that the associated objects before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0040] It should be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, "B corresponding to A" means that B is associated with A, and B can be determined according to A. However, it should also be understood that determining B according to A does not mean determining B only according to A, and B can also be determined according to A and / or other information.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] A low-alloy high-strength cold-rolled steel is prepared by the following method:

[0043] Smelting converter steel, where the raw material iron water: P≤0.150wt%, S≤0.06wt%, if the iron water S>0.06wt%, then enter the desulfurization station for desulfurization, the exit S≤0.03wt%, the iron water residual elements require As≤0.02wt%, Sn≤0.03wt%, it is not allowed to use the recycled steel water to smelt this product. In the converter iron water, C≤0.045wt%, P≤0.017wt%, S≤0.06%, the liquidus of the converter steel water is 1530℃.

[0044] The above-mentioned converter steel liquid is subjected to LF refining to obtain LF refined steel liquid, which contains: C: 0.0524wt%, Si: 0.0258wt%, Mn: 0.1449wt%, P: 0.0122wt%, S: 0.0034wt%, Als: 0.0252wt%, Nb: 0.0223wt%, N: 0.0053wt%, and the remainder of iron and inevitable trace elements.

[0045] The LF refined steel liquid is CSP casted with low carbon steel protection slag to obtain slab. The LF refined steel liquid can be mixed with low carbon steel grades such as SPHC, the slab pulling speed is ≥3.6m / min, the middle package composition is C: 0.03wt%~0.07wt%, Si: ≤0.05wt%, Mn: 0.08wt%~0.20wt%, P: ≤0.02wt%, S: ≤0.01%, N: ≤0.007%, the thickness of the slab is 50mm~90mm, and the slab out of the furnace temperature is 1080℃~1200℃.

[0046] The slab obtained above is subjected to hot continuous rolling in a CSP continuous rolling mill to obtain a hot rolled steel plate, wherein the final rolling temperature is 893° C. and the coiling temperature is 592° C. Through hot rolling, controlled rolling and controlled cold rolling, the hot rolled steel plate is ensured to have a tensile strength of ≥350MPa, a yield strength of ≥300MPa, and an elongation of ≥20%.

[0047] The hot-rolled steel plate obtained above is put into the straightening machine to improve the shape of the hot-rolled raw material plate through bending and stretching deformation, and the surface oxide scale is broken to improve the subsequent pickling speed and pickling quality. Then, online continuous rapid pickling is carried out to remove impurities such as oxides, oil stains, rust, etc. on the surface of the strip steel to improve product quality.

[0048] The hot-rolled steel sheet after pickling is subjected to cold tandem rolling to obtain a cold-rolled steel sheet, wherein the cold tandem rolling is a six-roller five-stand tandem rolling with a total reduction ratio of 65.5%.

[0049] The cold-rolled steel sheet obtained above is annealed in a bell furnace to obtain an annealed steel sheet. The incomplete recrystallization annealing process is adopted to heat the steel coil in a bell furnace to a temperature above the recrystallization temperature and below the Ac1 temperature for annealing to eliminate the cold rolling work hardening and internal stress and obtain the desired structure and performance. The specific process is as follows:

[0050] The temperature below 400℃ is raised freely. The temperature above 400℃ is raised in stages and kept warm for a certain period of time. From the middle temperature to the hotspot temperature (520℃), the temperature is raised in a controlled manner for 2 hours and kept warm at the hotspot temperature for 9 to 12 hours. The cooling time with the heating cover is 2 hours. The water cooling temperature is ≤450℃. The temperature of the steel coil out of the furnace is ≤90℃.

[0051] The annealed steel plate obtained above was flattened in a constant rolling force mode with a rolling force of 3500 KN, with good export plate shape as the control principle, and finally a low-alloy high-strength cold-rolled steel plate with a thickness of 0.9 mm was obtained.
