Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of stainless steel production, in particular to a method for jointly producing stainless steel coils with different surface grades. Background Art

[0002] The surface grade of stainless steel is mainly classified according to its treatment method, finish, brightness and applicable scenarios. The common grades are as follows:

[0003] 1D: The surface has a pure iron finish and is often used to manufacture stainless steel plates that require sheet metal processing.

[0004] 2D: The surface finish is relatively poor, but after rolling, it can be subjected to the next step of cold rolling.

[0005] NO.1 (hot-rolled surface): The surface is hot-rolled and presents a metallic luster, but there may be defects such as indentations and oxide scale. It is generally used for industrial processing, such as cold-rolled materials, industrial tanks, and chemical industrial equipment.

[0006] 2B (matte): After cold rolling, heat treatment, pickling, and then fine rolling, the surface is moderately bright. This surface is relatively smooth and easy to re-grind. It is widely used, such as tableware, building materials, etc. Although there may be slight scratches and uneven polishing during use, it will not affect its overall use effect.

[0007] 2E surface: with oxide scale, cold rolled, heat treated, descaling; the surface state is rough and matte; this surface type is cold rolled with oxide scale, and the descaling method is pickling or mechanical descaling plus pickling. It is suitable for structural parts or cold-rolled alternative products with high thickness accuracy and high surface roughness requirements.

[0008] BA (bright surface): The surface is obtained by cold rolling, bright annealing and flattening. This surface has excellent gloss and high reflectivity, just like a mirror, and is suitable for applications that require high brightness and finish, such as high-end furniture, electrical appliances, kitchen utensils and pharmaceutical equipment.

[0009] At present, stainless steel with different surface grades is usually processed by a fixed set of processes. The processing equipment is relatively fixed, and it is impossible to produce steel coils with different surface grades on a set of equipment, which limits the production capacity of manufacturers. At the same time, it is difficult to lay out multiple production lines in a limited space. Therefore, adding production lines means increasing the factory floor space, which will increase the factory's investment and production costs. Summary of the invention

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the problems of large floor space and high production cost in the existing production of stainless steel with different surface grades, and to provide a joint production method for stainless steel coils with different surface grades. The method can realize the joint production of stainless steel with 2E surface, nearly 2B surface and NO.1 surface without adding production lines, saving space and production costs.

[0011] The near 2B surface in the present invention means that the surface requirements of the stainless steel are lower than the existing 2B surface requirements, and higher than the 2E surface requirements.

[0012] The specific plan is as follows:

[0013] A method for the joint production of stainless steel coils with different surface grades comprises the following steps:

[0018] (5) The cleaned strip is fed into a flattening machine to improve the shape and surface roughness, and then the end is sheared and rolled to obtain a finished product.

[0019] Furthermore, the stainless steel 400 series black coil is straightened and dephosphorized in advance, and after the treatment, a part of the iron oxide scale on the surface is removed by high-pressure water cleaning.

[0020] Furthermore, the continuous rolling mill is an 18-roller rolling mill or a 6-roller rolling mill, and the reduction rate is 75-85%.

[0021] Furthermore, the annealing TV value of the annealing furnace is less than or equal to 240 mm×m / min.

[0022] Furthermore, the temperature of the annealing furnace is 880-950°C.

[0023] Furthermore, the speed at which the steel strip enters the annealing furnace is 100-300 m / min.

[0024] Furthermore, the transition platform is provided with rollers for supporting the strip steel, and deviation-correcting rollers are respectively installed at both ends of the axial direction of the rollers for adjusting the running direction of the strip steel.

[0025] Furthermore, the mixed acid solution is a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid.

[0026] Further, the steps for producing a stainless steel coil with a 2E surface or a near 2B surface include:

[0030] (4) sending the glossy steel strip to a pickling section for pickling, wherein the steel strip is first electrolyzed in a neutral salt, then electrolyzed in a nitric acid solution, and finally washed in a mixed acid solution to obtain a steel strip with a clean surface;

[0031] (5) The cleaned strip is fed into a flattening machine to improve the shape and surface roughness, and then the end is sheared and rolled to obtain a finished product.

Those without specifying the manufacturer of reagents or instruments used are all conventional products that can be obtained commercially. In the following examples, if not clearly stated, "%" refers to weight percentage.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] A method for the combined production of stainless steel coils of different surface grades, using Figure 1The equipment shown includes a NO.1 uncoiler 1, a NO.2 uncoiler 2, a welding machine 3, an inlet looper 4, a continuous rolling mill 5, a cleaning mechanism 6, an intermediate looper 7, an annealing furnace 8, a phosphorus breaking machine 9, a shot blasting machine 10, a pickling mechanism 11, an outlet looper 12, a leveling machine 13, an outlet slitting and shearing mechanism 14, a NO.1 coiler 15, a NO.2 coiler 16 and a transition platform 17. Specifically, the NO.1 uncoiler 1 and the NO.2 uncoiler 2 are connected to the welding machine 3 respectively, the outlet of the welding machine 3 is connected to the inlet of the inlet looper 4, and the outlet of the inlet looper 4 is connected to the outlet of the inlet looper 4. The outlets of the continuous rolling mill 5 are respectively connected to the inlet of the cleaning mechanism 6, the outlet of the cleaning mechanism 6 is connected to the inlet of the intermediate looper 7, the outlet of the intermediate looper 7 and the outlet of the transition platform 17 are respectively connected to the inlet of the annealing furnace 8; the outlet of the annealing furnace 8 is sequentially connected to the phosphorus breaking machine 9, the shot blasting machine 10, the pickling mechanism 11, the outlet looper 12, the leveling machine 13 and the outlet slitting and shearing mechanism 14, and the outlets of the outlet slitting and shearing mechanism 14 are respectively connected to the NO.1 coiler 15 and the NO.2 coiler 16.

[0044] The specific method includes the following steps:

[0045] (1) The stainless steel 400 series black coil is sent to the unwinding machine for unwinding. The head of the unwinding strip is welded to the tail of the previous strip by a welding machine. The weld is polished and smoothed before being sent to the entrance looper. Since it is difficult to remove the iron oxide scale on the surface of the stainless steel 400 series black coil, it is straightened and dephosphorized before unwinding. After the treatment, high-pressure water is used to remove part of the surface iron oxide scale before entering the entrance looper.

[0046] (2) The strip steel outputted through the said inlet loop is sent to the continuous rolling mill for rolling, and then sent to the intermediate loop after cleaning; or sent to the transition platform arranged below the said continuous rolling mill, and the strip steel outputted after passing through the said transition platform enters the said intermediate loop. Among them, the continuous rolling mill adopts an 18-roller rolling mill or a 6-roller rolling mill, which is designed as 3 to 5 frames, and the reduction rate reaches 80% to meet the thickness requirements of the strip steel thinning. In order to ensure the surface quality, rolling oil is used for rolling, so the residual oil on the surface needs to be removed by cleaning after rolling. If thinning is not required, it is not necessary to pass through the continuous rolling mill, but enter the transition platform, which is provided with rollers for supporting the strip steel, and deviation correction rollers are respectively installed at both ends along the axial direction of the rollers to adjust the running direction of the strip steel.

[0047] (3) The strip steel outputted from the intermediate looper is sent to an annealing furnace, and then dephosphorized and polished to obtain a shiny strip steel. The maximum annealing TV value is 240 mm·m / min, and the strip steel speed is 200 m / min.

[0048] (4) The glossy steel strip is sent to a pickling section for pickling. The pickling comprises first electrolyzing the steel strip with a neutral salt, then electrolyzing it in a nitric acid solution, and finally electrolyzing it in a mixed acid solution (HF+HNO 3 ) in the strip; or the pickling is carried out by sequentially washing the strip with sulfuric acid and a mixed acid solution (HF+HNO 3 ) to obtain a strip with a clean surface. The pickling section uses two different pickling paths in parallel to achieve different levels of quality requirements for the stainless steel surface.

[0049] (5) The cleaned strip is fed into a flattening machine to improve the shape and surface roughness, and then the end is sheared and rolled to obtain a finished product.
