[0002] The use of lightweight materials in automobile lightweight technology is the current mainstream. On the premise of ensuring the safety performance of the bus, the use of high-strength square tubes to replace ordinary products can significantly reduce the weight of the entire bus, which is the development trend of high-end boutique buses in the future.

[0003] The hot rolling production process of high-strength square tube steel faces many challenges.

The occurrence of edge cracks can also easily induce strip breakage during the cold rolling process, damage the rollers, increase production costs, and extend the product promotion and certification cycle.

[0035] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for reducing edge cracking during cold rolling of 1300Mpa square tube steel provided in an embodiment of the present application;

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for reducing edge cracking during cold rolling of 1300Mpa square tube steel, comprising:

[0037] S1. Obtaining a slab with a set chemical composition;

[0038] In some embodiments, the set chemical composition of the slab includes, by mass fraction: C: 0.22% to 0.26%, Cr: 0.75% to 0.85%, Mn: 1.65% to 1.75%, Si: 0.35% to 0.45%, Nb+Ti: 0.05% to 0.07%, wherein Nb+Ti represents the sum of the contents of Nb and Ti.

[0039] Controlling the chemical composition of the slab to meet standard requirements can reduce edge cracks caused by material problems.

[0040] The positive effects of controlling the C content to 0.22% to 0.26% are: ensuring the strength level of the steel and forming a martensitic structure after continuous quenching; too low a content leads to insufficient strength, and too high a content leads to deterioration of welding and forming properties. For example, the C content can be 0.22%, 0.23%, 0.24%, 0.25%, 0.26%, etc.

[0041] The positive effect of controlling the Cr content to 0.75% to 0.85% is that a high Cr component system is used to ensure the hardenability during the cold rolling process. If the hardenability is too low, martensite cannot be obtained at a slow cooling rate, and there are requirements for the critical cooling rate. If the Cr content is too high, the plasticity will decrease and the alloy cost will increase. For example, the Cr content can be 0.75%, 0.77%, 0.81%, 0.83%, 0.85%, etc.

[0042] The positive effect of controlling the Mn content to 1.65% to 1.75% is that Mn is a solid solution strengthening element, which dissolves in austenite during heating in the critical region, which is beneficial to improving the hardenability of austenite, obtaining martensite structure and improving the strength of martensite. For example, the Mn content can be 1.65%, 1.67%, 1.69%, 1.72%, 1.75%, etc.

[0043] The positive effect of controlling the Si content to 0.35% to 0.45% is that Si is a solid solution strengthening element that can improve hardenability, is conducive to obtaining fine and uniformly distributed martensite, and can also expand the critical zone range. However, a high Si content is not good for welding performance; but if the Si content is too low, the solid solution strengthening effect is not good, affecting the hardenability. For example, the Si content can be 0.35%, 0.37%, 0.39%, 0.42%, 0.45%, etc.

[0044] Nb+Ti represents the sum of the contents of Nb and Ti. The positive effect of controlling the content of Nb+Ti to 0.05% to 0.07% is: adding trace alloy elements for precipitation strengthening. Too low strength reduces, too high cost increases, and affects plasticity. Exemplarily, the content of Nb+Ti can be 0.05%, 0.055%, 0.06%, 0.07%, etc.

[0045] S2, heating the slab, and then descaling it with high-pressure water;

[0046] Heating is to make the slab reach a temperature suitable for rolling, improve its plasticity and reduce rolling force. At the same time, heating also helps to remove moisture and impurities on the surface of the slab. High-pressure water descaling is carried out after heating to remove iron oxide scale and other impurities on the surface of the slab to prevent them from being pressed into the steel during rolling and forming defects.

[0047] In some embodiments, the total furnace time of the heating is 160 min to 200 min.

[0048] The positive effect of controlling the total furnace time of the heating to be 160min to 200min is to ensure that Ti and Nb precipitated on the surface during the continuous casting process are completely dissolved. For example, the total furnace time of the heating can be 160min, 165min, 170min, 180min, 200min, etc.

[0049] In some embodiments, the heated furnace temperature is 1230°C to 1250°C.

[0050] The positive effect of controlling the heating furnace temperature to 1230°C to 1250°C is that since Cr+Si>1% in the slab and Cr / Si is about 2, the enrichment of Cr surface layer can inhibit the high temperature oxidation of Si element to a certain extent, so a higher furnace temperature is adopted. Exemplarily, the furnace temperature can be 1230°C, 1235°C, 1240°C, 1245°C, 1250°C, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments, the water pressure of the high-pressure water descaling is ≥30 MPa.

[0052] The positive effect of controlling the water pressure of high-pressure water descaling to ≥30Mpa: the Si content of the steel grade is high, which can effectively remove the influence of the furnace iron olivine phase and ensure the surface quality of the steel plate. For example, the water pressure of high-pressure water descaling can be 30Mpa, 31Mpa, 32Mpa, 33Mpa, 34Mpa, etc.

[0053] S3, rough rolling the slab after high-pressure water descaling to obtain an intermediate slab;

[0054] Rough rolling is the initial plastic deformation of the slab to reduce its thickness and width and make its shape closer to the final product.

[0055] In some embodiments, the rough rolling adopts a 1+5 rolling mode, the rough rolling mill R1 adopts 1 pass descaling, the rough rolling mill R2 adopts 1, 3, 4 and 5 passes descaling, and the thickness of the intermediate billet is 34 mm to 40 mm.

[0056] In some embodiments, to enhance the descaling effect, a coil box is used after rough rolling.

[0057] The coil box is mainly used in the hot rolling mill, placed between the roughing mill and the finishing mill. The intermediate billet rolled out by the roughing mill is coiled into a coil using the coreless coiling method, and then immediately unrolled in the reverse direction, cut the head and tail, and sent to the finishing mill to achieve unrolling and rolling. This technology can solve the problem of too large a temperature difference between the head and tail of the rolled piece caused by the long distance between the roughing mill and the finishing mill, a large temperature drop of the intermediate billet of the hot-rolled strip, uneven temperature over the entire length, a large load on the finishing mill, and inconsistent mechanical properties and thickness of the finished strip. The coreless coiling method is used to coil the strip head, so that the higher temperature strip head is kept warm in the center of the coil box, and then unrolled, and the lower temperature strip tail is turned into the strip head and sent to the finishing mill for rolling.

[0058] The positive effects of controlling the thickness of the intermediate billet to 34 mm to 40 mm are: increasing the rolling deformation during the rough rolling process, reducing the rolling deformation during the finishing rolling process, and avoiding excessive temperature reduction at the edge during the finishing rolling process. For example, the thickness of the intermediate billet can be 34 mm, 35 mm, 36 mm, 37 mm, 40 mm, etc.

[0059] S4, finishing rolling the intermediate billet to obtain a semi-finished steel strip;

[0060] Finish rolling is to further roll the intermediate billet to obtain the required size and surface finish. The steel after finish rolling is a semi-finished strip ready for subsequent processing. In the finishing rolling process, double-pass descaling is used to ensure the surface quality of the hot coil.

[0061] In some embodiments, the inlet temperature of the finishing rolling is 1050° C. to 1070° C., the final rolling temperature of the finishing rolling is 910° C. to 930° C., and the thickness of the semi-finished steel strip is 2.5 mm to 3 mm.

[0062] The positive effect of controlling the inlet temperature of finishing rolling to 1050°C to 1070°C is that a relatively high inlet temperature of finishing rolling can ensure that the edge temperature during hot rolling is in the temperature range of the single-phase austenite region. For example, the inlet temperature can be 1050°C, 1055°C, 1060°C, 1065°C, 1070°C, etc.

[0063] The positive effect of controlling the final rolling temperature of the finishing rolling to 910°C to 930°C is to ensure that the edge position of the hot rolling process is above the phase transition temperature to avoid the occurrence of mixed crystals induced by too low temperature. For example, the final rolling temperature can be 910°C, 915°C, 920°C, 925°C, 930°C, etc.

[0064] The positive effect of controlling the thickness of the semi-finished steel strip to 2.5mm to 3mm is that by ensuring a thinner thickness during hot rolling, the compression ratio of the cold rolling process is reduced, and the situation of severe edge hardening and cracking during the cold rolling process is avoided. For example, the thickness of the semi-finished steel strip can be 2.5mm, 2.6mm, 2.8mm, 2.9mm, 3mm, etc.

[0065] In some embodiments, the finishing rolling equipment comprises 6 finishing rolling stands F1 to F6, the cooling water opening ratio between the stands F1 to F3 is 50% to 80%, and the cooling water opening ratio between the stands F4 to F6 is 0% to 30%.

[0066] The positive effect of opening the cooling water between F1 and F3 stands at a ratio of 50% to 80% is that opening the cooling water between the stands in the front section can reduce the surface temperature, increase the rolling speed, and avoid problems such as overheating of the rolls. For example, the opening ratio of the cooling water between F1 and F3 stands can be 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, etc.

[0067] Positive effects of the cooling water opening ratio between F4 and F6 stands being 0% to 30%: The purpose of reducing the opening ratio of the stand water in the rear stage is mainly to avoid the edge falling into the two-phase region caused by excessive surface temperature drop in the rear stage of the finishing rolling process. For example, the cooling water opening ratio between F4 and F6 stands can be 5%, 10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, etc.

[0068] S5, laminar cooling the semi-finished steel strip, and then coiling it;

[0069] Laminar cooling is to control the cooling rate and temperature distribution of steel to obtain the desired microstructure and properties. Coiling is to roll the cooled semi-finished strip into a coil for easy storage and transportation.

[0070] In some embodiments, the water pipe for laminar cooling is shielded at the edges to shut off the laminar cooling water at the edges.

[0071] During the cooling process of the strip, due to the differences in thickness and heat dissipation conditions between the edge and the center, the edge is often prone to overcooling, and edge overcooling is one of the important factors leading to cracks. Edge shielding can effectively reduce the cooling water flow in the edge area, thereby reducing the edge temperature and avoiding excessive temperature difference with the center. When implementing edge shielding, it is necessary to accurately control the range and degree of shielding to avoid adverse effects on the cooling effect of the center. When the strip width is 1200mm, edge shielding can be used to close the layer of cold water within 40mm of the edge to increase the edge temperature of the strip before coiling.

[0072] In some embodiments, the coiling adopts a front-end cooling mode, and the cold water layer is not turned on for 100 m at the head and tail.

[0073] Since the head and tail are easily affected by various factors during the rolling process, the final rolling temperature is different from that of the middle part. By not opening the layer cooling water at the head and tail, the temperature of these areas can be prevented from dropping too fast due to overcooling. Overcooled head and tail are prone to thermal stress concentration during the coiling process, thereby increasing the risk of cracks. Not opening the layer cooling water can reduce the cooling rate of these areas, reduce thermal stress concentration, and thus avoid cracks.

[0074] In some embodiments, the coiling temperature is 730°C to 750°C.

[0075] The positive effect of controlling the coiling temperature to 730°C to 750°C is that a higher coiling temperature can avoid the formation of bainite or martensite at the edge, which affects the structure and causes cracking of the structure during the cold rolling process. For example, the coiling temperature can be 730°C, 735°C, 740°C, 745°C, 750°C, etc.

[0076] S6, slowly cooling the semi-finished steel strip after coiling;

[0077] After the strip comes off the line, it is bundled to prevent the head and tail from loosening, and then sent to the slow cooling pit for slow cooling.

[0078] The slow cooling pit is an important device for reducing thermal residual stress and improving the mechanical properties of metal parts. During the cold rolling process, the temperature of the steel is still high after final rolling and coiling. If it is cooled directly at this time, it may cause large thermal stress and structural stress inside the steel, which will cause cracks. The slow cooling pit provides a relatively slow and uniform cooling environment, so that the internal stress of the steel can be fully released during the cooling process to avoid the generation of cracks.

[0079] In some embodiments, before the slow cooling, the temperature of the outer ring of the semi-finished steel strip is ≥ 600°C.

[0080] The positive effect of controlling the outer ring temperature of the semi-finished strip steel to be ≥600°C is to avoid the generation of hardened structure, and 600°C or above is conducive to the generation of ferrite + pearlite structure. Exemplarily, the outer ring temperature can be 600°C, 610°C, 620°C, 625°C, 630°C, etc.

[0081] S7, cold rolling the semi-finished steel strip after slow cooling to obtain a finished steel strip;

[0082] Cold rolling is a rolling process carried out at room temperature or below, which can further reduce the thickness of steel and improve its surface finish and dimensional accuracy. The steel after cold rolling is the finished strip steel, which meets the specific mechanical properties and dimensional requirements.

[0083] In some embodiments, the cold rolling reduction ratio is 50% to 60%.

[0084] Positive effects of controlling the cold rolling reduction rate to 50% to 60%: The cold rolling reduction rate is one of the important factors affecting edge cracking. Controlling the cold rolling reduction rate within a reasonable range can effectively reduce the occurrence of edge cracking. Too high a reduction rate will increase the internal stress and deformation resistance of the material, thereby causing edge cracking. Exemplarily, the reduction rate can be 50%, 52%, 54%, 58%, 60%, etc.

[0085] The present application is further described below in conjunction with specific examples. The experimental methods in the following examples that do not specify specific conditions are usually measured according to industry standards; if there are no corresponding industry standards, they are carried out according to common international standards, conventional conditions, or conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
