Abstract

This invention provides a method for producing 270MPa grade hot-dip galvanized deep-drawing steel strip. The method controls the chemical composition, the hot rolling process (including soaking temperature, final rolling temperature, and coiling temperature), and the hot-dip galvanizing process (including annealing temperature, galvanizing temperature, finishing, and tension leveling). This results in hot-dip galvanized steel strip with excellent mechanical properties (Rp0.2 = 185–255 MPa, Rm ≥ 270 MPa, A50mm ≥ 42%, n90 ≥ 0.17). It effectively overcomes the problems of mixed crystals and performance deterioration in the pickling-hot-dip galvanizing technology during annealing due to lack of deformation recovery, recrystallization, and grain growth. The product's microstructure is 100% ferrite with a ferrite grain size of 8.0–10.5. Furthermore, the pickling-direct hot-dip galvanizing process used in this invention omits the conventional cold rolling step, reducing process costs.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and particularly relates to a production method of 270MPa-grade hot-based galvanizing deep-drawing steel strip. BACKGROUND

[0002] The automobile industry in China has entered a high-speed development period of passenger cars. Ti micro-alloyed interstitial-atom-free hot-dip galvanized deep-drawing steel plate developed on the basis of ultra-low carbon steel has very good stamping forming performance and corrosion resistance, and is usually used to make complex parts inside the automobile. Due to good mechanical properties and process performance and high corrosion resistance, it has become the preferred material for passenger car steel and has been widely used.

[0003] Recently, major domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers have proposed the use requirement of >2.5mm thick high-strength plated sheet for automobiles; the limit thickness of the conventional production line pickling- hot-dip galvanizing process is usually ≤2.5mm, which cannot develop the product. The plated sheet developed by the hot-based plating plate production technology, i.e. hot rolling + pickling + hot-dip galvanizing process technology, has the advantages of thick gauge, thick plating layer and low cost due to the reduction of the cold rolling process, and has good market application prospect.

[0004] The main automobile manufacturers in China have proposed the use requirement of thick-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel sheet with excellent forming performance of yield strength 270MPa according to the design requirements of new vehicle models. The main technical indexes are: R p0.2 185-255MPa, Rm≥270MPa, A 50mm ≥42%, n 90 ≥0.17. The 270MPa-grade thick-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel sheet with excellent forming performance is used for processing internal structural parts of passenger cars. The main technical requirements of the steel sheet are: sufficient strength and plasticity; good forming performance; low mechanical property anisotropy; and good corrosion resistance. The mechanical properties of the 270MPa-grade thick-gauge hot-dip galvanized steel sheet with excellent forming performance meet the requirements of Table 1.

[0005] Table 1: Mechanical properties

[0006]

[0007] The hot-based galvanizing production process is quite different from the traditional production process, especially the hot-rolled pickling raw material has obvious difference with the cold-rolled raw material used in the traditional pickling-rolling-hot galvanizing process in terms of deformation stored energy and surface roughness. The deformation stored energy of the cold-rolled strip steel after large plastic deformation has significant influence on the recrystallization annealing organization control in the continuous hot galvanizing production process, and is directly related to the mechanical property level and uniformity of the finished product. The hot-rolled pickling raw material lacks cold working deformation stored energy, and the annealing process of the pickling-rolling-hot galvanizing process has no thermal history process such as deformation organization recovery, recrystallization and grain growth, so the organization and texture state after the annealing process of the conventional process cannot be obtained. Under normal conditions, the finished product obtained by the conventional process has low plasticity and poor forming performance. Therefore, how to develop a hot-based galvanizing deep drawing steel plate full-process production process to replace the cold rolling process to obtain a hot galvanizing product with mechanical property level comparable to the cold-rolled-annealed product has become a problem to be solved.

[0104] [About step A]:

[0105] A) smelting molten steel: smelting the blast furnace molten iron and smelting furnace materials in a converter to obtain molten steel; then, pre-deoxidizing the molten steel.

[0106] In the application, the equipment for smelting molten steel is a top-blown converter, the blast furnace molten iron after vanadium extraction is used as raw material, and smelting furnace materials, i.e. steelmaking auxiliary materials, are added for smelting. The types of the auxiliary materials are not limited, and any commonly used auxiliary material in the art can be used, and the auxiliary materials can be dosed according to the chemical composition of the target molten steel. The smelting temperature is preferably 1660-1675 DEG C (i.e. the converter tapping temperature), and can be 1660 DEG C, 1665 DEG C, 1670 DEG C or 1675 DEG C. After smelting, molten steel is obtained.

[0107] After obtaining the molten steel, the molten steel is tapped into a molten steel ladle. The molten steel is pre-deoxidized during tapping. Specifically, at 1 / 3 of the tapping, aluminum-iron alloy is added to the molten steel ladle for pre-deoxidization, and the molten steel ladle is subjected to bottom argon blowing. Among them, 1 / 3 of the tapping refers to 1 / 3 of the amount of molten steel (the amount is measured by mass) tapped during the tapping of the converter, i.e. the ratio of the amount of molten steel tapped to the total amount of molten steel = 1 / 3. The argon pressure of the bottom argon blowing is preferably 200-400 Pa, and can be 200 Pa, 250 Pa, 300 Pa, 350 Pa or 400 Pa. The time of the bottom argon blowing is preferably 4-10 min, and can be 4 min, 5 min, 6 min, 7 min, 8 min, 9 min or 10 min, and more preferably 4 min.

[0108] [About step B]:

[0109] B) LF refining: LF refining treatment is performed on the molten steel obtained in step A).

[0110] In the present application, in the LF refining, argon is introduced into the bottom of the molten steel ladle, the pressure of the argon is preferably 200-400 Pa, and specifically can be 200 Pa, 250 Pa, 300 Pa, 350 Pa or 400 Pa. The time for argon introduction is preferably 4-6 min, and specifically can be 4 min, 5 min or 6 min. The argon flow rate is under the condition that the molten steel is not stirred too much, so that secondary oxidation and too rapid temperature drop of the molten steel can be avoided, the inclusions in the steel are fully floated, and the cleanliness of the steel is further improved. The time for LF refining is preferably 10-25 min, and specifically can be 10 min, 15 min, 20 min or 25 min. The outlet temperature of the LF refining is preferably 1630-1650℃, and specifically can be 1630℃, 1635℃, 1640℃, 1645℃ or 1650℃.

[0111] [About step C]:

[0112] C) RH treatment: the molten steel obtained in step B) is sent to an RH refining furnace for final deoxidation and alloying treatment to obtain molten steel.

[0113] In the present application, the time for the RH treatment is preferably 20-35 min, and specifically can be 20 min, 25 min, 30 min or 35 min. In the treatment, aluminum-iron alloy, metallic manganese, titanium-iron alloy and the like are added for alloying, and the specific means are not particularly limited, and the corresponding auxiliary materials can be added according to the target product chemical composition according to the conventional alloying method in the art. The outlet temperature of the RH treatment is preferably 1590-1610℃, and specifically can be 1590℃, 1595℃, 1600℃, 1605℃ or 1610℃.

[0114] In the present application, in order to ensure the uniformity of the chemical composition of the steel, after the deoxidation and alloying of the RH treatment, the molten steel in the RH vacuum chamber is circulated for 5-8 min, and the vacuum degree is ≤2.0 mba. Then, the molten steel is subjected to bottom argon blowing treatment; the pressure of the bottom argon blowing is 200-400 Pa, and specifically can be 200 Pa, 250 Pa, 300 Pa, 350 Pa or 400 Pa. The time for the bottom argon blowing is preferably 4-6 min, and specifically can be 4 min, 5 min or 6 min. After the above treatment, the molten steel is obtained.

[0115] After the RH treatment, the composition of the obtained molten steel is as follows:

[0116] C: ≤0.0035%;

[0117] Si: ≤0.020%;

[0118] Mn: 0.10%-0.20%;

[0119] Ti: 0.045%-0.065%;

[0120] N: 0.002% to 0.005%;

[0121] P: 0% to 0.010%;

[0122] S: 0% to 0.010%;

[0123] Als: 0.020% to 0.050%;

[0124] Fe and inevitable impurity elements: balance.

[0125] In one embodiment of the present application, the molten steel has the following composition: C: 0.0028%, Si: 0.01%, Mn: 0.15%, Ti: 0.056%, N: 0.0034%, P: 0.008%, S: 0.003%, Als: 0.041%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. In another embodiment of the present application, the molten steel has the following composition: C: 0.0030%, Si: 0.01%, Mn: 0.14%, Ti: 0.058%, N: 0.0030%, P: 0.010%, S: 0.005%, Als: 0.028%, and the balance being Fe and inevitable impurities. Here, Als is a concept well known in the art, i.e., acid-soluble aluminum.

[0126] [Regarding Step D]:

[0127] D) Continuous casting: the molten steel obtained in Step C) is subjected to continuous casting to obtain a slab.

[0128] The continuous casting (continuous casting) is specifically casting the molten steel after refining into a pre-baked tundish, and casting into a slab by a full-flow-protected slab continuous casting machine. After casting, cooling is preferably also performed, for example, natural cooling at room temperature.

[0129] [Regarding Step E]:

[0130] E) Hot rolling: the slab obtained in Step D) is subjected to hot rolling.

[0131] The hot rolling step is to roll the cast slab after heating. The purpose of rolling is to make the continuous casting slab reach the required thickness. The rolling pass of the hot rolled steel strip of the present application has 6 rough rolling steps and 7 finishing rolling steps.

[0132] In the present application, the hot rolling treatment includes reheating soaking treatment. After the slab is obtained by continuous casting, the slab is sent into a heating furnace for heating, namely reheating soaking treatment. The temperature of the reheating soaking refers to the slab out-of-furnace rolling temperature, at which the soaking is performed, so as to fully solid-solution micro-alloying elements, eliminate chemical element segregation caused by dendrite bias of the casting slab, and meanwhile avoid liquid precipitation carbide to reduce the effect of micro-alloying elements in the steel. In the present application, the temperature of the reheating soaking treatment is 1190-1240℃, and specifically can be 1190℃, 1200℃, 1208℃, 1210℃, 1220℃, 1230℃, 1240℃. The time of the reheating soaking treatment is 30-45min, and specifically can be 30min, 35min, 40min, 45min.

[0133] In the present application, after the above-mentioned reheating soaking treatment, rough rolling is performed. The temperature of the rough rolling is 1140-1200℃, and specifically can be 1140℃, 1145℃, 1150℃, 1155℃, 1160℃, 1165℃, 1170℃, 1175℃, 1180℃, 1185℃, 1190℃, 1195℃, 1200℃.

[0134] In the present application, after the above-mentioned rough rolling, finish rolling is performed. The rough rolling temperature is 1010-1040℃, and specifically can be 1010℃, 1015℃, 1020℃, 1025℃, 1030℃, 1035℃, 1040℃. The finish rolling temperature is 900-940℃, and specifically can be 900℃, 905℃, 910℃, 915℃, 920℃, 925℃, 930℃, 935℃, 940℃. The above-mentioned temperature control in the hot rolling process can make the steel in the finish rolling stage be in complete austenite organization, and avoid the austenite organization being too coarse.

[0135] In the present application, after the finish rolling, cooling is performed. The cooling is laminar flow cooling. The length of the laminar flow cooling is 10-20 m, and can be specifically 10 m, 15 m or 20 m. The cooling rates of the upper and lower headers of the laminar flow cooling are preferably 75% and 50%, respectively. The cooling rate is expressed by the proportion of the water flow, and in actual production, the cooling rate is adjusted by opening and closing the cooling header nozzles. The percentage expression method is well known in the industry, for example, the full opening mode is 100%, that is, the water flow is 100% directly sprayed on the surface of the strip. Through the above control, the cooling rate is 10-20 ℃ / min, and can be specifically 10 ℃ / min, 15 ℃ / min or 20 ℃ / min. After the thin plate strip rolled by hot rolling is cooled, the internal organization state of the steel is adjusted, and then the thin plate strip is coiled. In order to meet the good strength and plasticity of the finished hot-dip galvanized steel plate, the present application controls the ferrite grain size in the microstructure of the hot-rolled strip to be about 10.5 grade, and the precipitation of AlN, TiC and Ti(C, N) inhibits the non-uniform growth of ferrite in the high temperature zone, and the hot-rolled substrate organization is refined.

[0136] In the present application, the material is cooled to 660-690 ℃ by the above cooling for coiling. The temperature can be specifically 660 ℃, 665 ℃, 670 ℃, 675 ℃, 680 ℃, 685 ℃ or 690 ℃.

[0137] [About step F]:

[0138] F) Pickling: the steel strip obtained in step E) is pickled.

[0139] The pickling process of the present application is not particularly limited, and can be performed according to the conventional process procedure; generally, the thin plate strip rolled by hot rolling is welded at the head of the pickling mill group to form a continuous steel strip, and then is subjected to straightening, tension leveling and phosphorus breaking, pickling, alkali washing and drying. In the present application, the tension leveling elongation of the pickling is preferably 0.6%-1.0%, and can be specifically 0.6%, 0.7%, 0.8%, 0.9% or 1.0%.
