Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a metal material surface treatment process, and in particular to a treatment liquid for surface quality control of pickled high-strength steel, a preparation method and a surface treatment process. The surface treatment liquid is used for surface treatment of high-strength steel pickled by high-pressure spraying. The treated pickled high-strength steel has good surface quality and can also improve phosphating performance and production efficiency, thus belonging to an efficient, green and environmentally friendly production process. Background Art

[0002] Pickled high-strength steel has the advantages of high strength, light weight and good processing performance. It is widely used in high-quality automotive parts and new energy vehicles. It has broad market prospects and shows a compound growth trend.

[0003] In order to improve the strength, the content of silicon and manganese elements will be increased in the component design of high-strength steel. Silicon and manganese elements can play a role in solid solution strengthening, while improving the hardenability of steel, which can effectively improve the strength of high-strength pickled steel. However, the oxygen partial pressure of silicon and manganese elements is higher than that of iron elements, and they tend to precipitate preferentially on the surface of steel. On the one hand, silicon and manganese oxides increase the adhesion between the matrix and the oxide scale, and on the other hand, they are difficult to dissolve in the pickling solution, resulting in increased difficulty in pickling. After pickling, there are problems such as residual oxides and indentation, uneven surface color, easy rust, and poor phosphating in the pre-painting process.

[0004] In the prior art, the directions for improving the surface pickling quality of pickled high-strength steel mainly include: increasing the acid concentration, extending the pickling time, controlling the concentration and temperature of the pickling solution, adding polishing process, electrolytic pickling, etc. For example, the Chinese patent document with the publication number CN115647070A mentioned that in the comprehensive quality control method for producing a thin-gauge ultra-high-strength steel plate, three-stage continuous hydrochloric acid pickling is adopted, and the acid temperature is controlled in the high temperature section of 70-80°C. At the same time, the pickling rate is controlled at 30-50m / min, and the pickling rate should not be too fast to ensure the surface quality. In the pickling process of a stainless steel plate strip provided by the Chinese patent document with the application number 201210174749.9, a mixed acid composite pickling method is used to improve the pickling efficiency. In the US patent document with publication number US10597741B2, the quality and efficiency of pickling of high-strength steel plates are guaranteed by adding an electrolytic pickling section in a sulfuric acid solution before conventional chemical pickling; the European patent document with publication number EP1307609B1 mentions that the use of continuous electrolytic pickling and descaling process for carbon steel and stainless steel can increase the pickling efficiency by 20%.

[0005] Although increasing the acid concentration and temperature and extending the pickling time can solve the problems of difficult pickling and incomplete pickling of high-strength steel to a certain extent, these technologies also increase the pickling cost and bring about problems such as over-pickling and rust on the steel plate surface. Adding polishing and electrolytic pickling processes requires large-scale transformation of the production line, which requires large initial investment and has certain negative impacts on the environment. Summary of the invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and shortcomings in the prior art, and to provide a high-pressure treatment liquid for surface quality control of pickled high-strength steel and a preparation method thereof, which can avoid residual oxide scale on the steel surface, solve the problem of small black spots on the surface, and at the same time form a corrosion inhibition layer on the surface of pickled high-strength steel to solve surface quality problems such as yellowing and rust.

[0007] The technical problem to be solved can be implemented through the following technical solutions.

[0008] A treatment liquid for controlling the surface quality of pickled high-strength steel and a preparation method thereof, wherein:

[0009] (1) The main components of the surface treatment liquid include weak acid, corrosion inhibitor, and surfactant, and the mass percentages of the three are respectively 1.5-6% of weak acid, 0.5-2% of corrosion inhibitor, 0.02-1% of surfactant, and the rest is water.

[0010] (2) Preparation of a weak acid solution: The weak acid is a mixture of phosphoric acid, tartaric acid and oxalic acid, with phosphoric acid: tartaric acid: oxalic acid = 1: 0.05-0.25: 0.01-0.20 (mass ratio). 1.5-4 wt.% phosphoric acid, 0.075-1 wt.% tartaric acid and 0.015-0.8 wt.% oxalic acid are added to water and stirred at 35-50°C and normal pressure for 2 h to prepare a 1.5-6 wt.% weak acid solution.

[0011] (3) Addition of corrosion inhibitor: Add 0.1-0.5 wt.% sodium silicate, 0.2-0.5 wt.% triethanolamine and 0.5-2% benzotriazole as corrosion inhibitors to the above weak acid solution, and stir at 35-50° C. and normal pressure for 2 h. The addition ratio here is based on the ratio of the weak acid solution.

[0012] (4) Surfactant addition: 0.01-0.2 wt.% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 0.02-0.8 wt.% butanediol. Stir for 1-2 hours at a temperature of 35-50°C and a pressure of 0.3-0.5 MPa to form a surface treatment solution. The ratio here is based on the ratio of the weak acid solution with the addition of the corrosion inhibitor.

[0013] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a surface treatment process based on the surface quality control of pickled high-strength steel. The present invention adds a high-pressure surface treatment process between the traditional chemical pickling section and the pure water cleaning section. Specifically, the high-pressure surface treatment technology is performed after conventional chemical pickling, and the high-strength steel hot-rolled coil is pickled and dephosphorized. The surface of the pickled high-strength steel is chemically and mechanically treated by spraying a high-pressure surface treatment liquid. The following steps are included:

[0014] (1) Preparation of hot rolled coils

[0015] The continuous casting slab of high-strength steel is heated to 1120-1260°C for 30-60 minutes, and then rough rolled and finish rolled, air cooled to 730-780°C, and coiled.

[0016] (2) Chemical pickling and dephosphorization: The surface oxide scale of the hot-rolled high-strength steel coil is removed by continuous pickling. The temperature of the pickling is 50-80°C and the strip speed is 150-250 m / min.

[0017] The acid solution is mainly hydrochloric acid, wherein the concentration of hydrochloric acid is 50-250 g / L, Fe 2+ The concentration range is 10~50g / L.

[0018] (3) Surface high-pressure spray treatment: The high-strength steel hot-rolled coil after chemical pickling and dephosphorization is subjected to high-pressure spray treatment. The high-pressure treatment section has three nozzles, and the distance between two nozzles is 0.5-1m. The first nozzle sprays high-pressure water on the surface of the slab after chemical pickling, and the spraying pressure is 2-5MPa. The second and third nozzles spray surface treatment liquid on the slab, and the solution temperature is 30-60°C, the spraying pressure is 50-100MPa, and the spraying speed of the solution is 150-600m / s. The pressure (MP) is matched with the production line speed (m / min), and the ratio of the two is 1: (1.3-2.5), preferably 1:2. The surface roughness of the steel plate after spraying is not higher than 1.5μm.

[0019] Furthermore, the nozzle is a fan-shaped nozzle, and the distance between the nozzles is 15 to 30 mm.

[0020] (4) Pure water cleaning section: After the surface high-pressure spray treatment, the high-strength steel hot-rolled coil is cleaned with pure water using a continuous three-stage water washing tank.

[0021] (5) Coiling: The pickled steel plate is dried by hot air and then coiled to obtain a pickled high-strength steel coil.

[0022] Furthermore, the chemical composition mass percentage of the continuous casting slab of the pickled high-strength steel is: C: 0.03%, S: 0.006%, P: 0.005%, Mn: 1.55%, Si: 1.1%, Al: 0.02%, Cr: 0.65%, Nb: 0.029%, Ti: 0.073%, and the rest is Fe.

[0023] After the pickled high-strength steel is treated by the above-mentioned surface treatment process, there is no oxide scale remaining on the surface, which solves the problem of small black spots on the surface; at the same time, a corrosion inhibition layer is formed on the surface of the pickled high-strength steel to solve surface quality problems such as yellowing and rust. This process is green and environmentally friendly, has strong process adaptability, can effectively improve the pickling efficiency of high-strength steel and improve the surface quality. It is a green and environmentally friendly steel production process. That is, the treated pickled high-strength steel has good surface quality such as no yellowing, no small black spots, and low roughness, and can also improve the phosphating performance of the coating process. The application of this process can improve production efficiency and is an efficient, green and environmentally friendly steel production process.

[0024] The high-pressure surface treatment technology for pickled high-strength steel has the advantages of being green, environmentally friendly, fast, efficient and improving the surface quality of steel plates. It can solve the problems of difficult pickling of surface oxides and poor surface quality of pickled high-strength steel, while also ensuring the coating process during user-end use.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0026] 1. The present invention adopts the pickling process of "hydrochloric acid chemical pickling + high-pressure solution surface treatment + pure water cleaning" for pickling high-strength steel hot-rolled coils, changes the traditional pickling process, and can effectively shorten the chemical pickling period and reduce the impact of acid on the environment through the effective guarantee of high-pressure solution surface treatment.

[0027] 2. The surface treatment liquid of the present invention can quickly remove the red iron scale and small black spots remaining on the surface of the pickled plate. The weak acid system of the treatment liquid will micro-corrode the oxide scale remaining on the surface, and at the same time, the mechanical stripping effect of high-pressure spraying is used to quickly remove the small black spot defects on the surface of the pickled plate.

[0028] 3. The high-pressure surface treatment liquid of the present invention is used to inhibit the corrosion of the pickled plate surface. The sodium silicate, triethanolamine and benzotriazole in the high-pressure surface treatment liquid can be adsorbed on the surface of the steel plate substrate to quickly form a nano-scale corrosion inhibition layer, which can effectively prevent the surface of the steel plate from yellowing (slight corrosion) during the subsequent water washing process.

[0102] The surface treated substrates of Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Examples were evaluated by the following method:

[0103] (1) Yellowing degree of the surface

[0104] After the pickled high-strength steel sample has been surface treated, the surface is observed to assess the degree of yellowing;

[0105] The evaluation criteria are as follows:

[0106] ◎: No yellowing, rust area 0%

[0107] ○: Light spots on the edge, yellowing area <5%

[0108] Δ: Rust stains appear in the wider edge area, and the stain area is less than 20%

[0109] ×: Severe yellow spots on the board surface, with the spot area > 50%

[0110] (2) Number of black spots on the surface

[0111] After the pickled high-strength steel sample has been subjected to high-clean surface treatment, the surface is observed to evaluate the number of surface black spots;

[0112] The evaluation criteria are as follows:

[0113] ◎: No black spots on the entire board

[0114] ○: Number of black spots < 10 / m 2

[0115] Δ: Number of black spots < 50 / m 2

[0116] ×: Severe rust on the board surface, the number of black spots > 100 / m 2

[0117] (3) Surface roughness

[0118] After the pickled high-strength steel sample has been subjected to high-clean surface treatment, the surface roughness test is performed;

[0119] (4) Phosphating performance

[0120] After the pickled high-strength steel samples were subjected to high-clean surface treatment, the samples were subjected to phosphating performance treatment to evaluate the phosphating crystal size and phosphating film weight.

[0121] ◎: Phosphate coverage of the entire board surface is 100%

[0122] ○: Phosphate coverage of the entire board surface >95%

[0123] Δ: Phosphate coverage of the entire board surface is less than 90%, but ≥ 80%

[0124] ×: Phosphate coverage of the entire board surface <80%

[0125] The performance parameters of the hot-rolled high-strength steel surfaces in Examples 1 to 6 and the comparative example after pickling and high-pressure spraying surface treatment were sampled and tested as shown in Table 1 below.

[0126] Table 1:

[0127] Yellowing surface Surface black spots Roughness, μm Phosphating performance Example 1 ○ ○ 1.5 ○ Example 2 ○ ◎ 1.2 ◎ Example 3 ◎ ◎ 1.3 ◎ Example 4 ◎ ○ 0.9 ○ Example 5 ◎ ◎ 0.9 ◎ Example 6 ○ ○ 0.85 ◎ Comparative Example × × 2.0 Δ

[0128] From the data in Table 1, it can be seen that the process parameters of the hot rolled coil feed and the high pressure spray section in Examples 1 to 3 are basically the same, and the main changes are the concentration of the surface treatment liquid, and more importantly, the concentration of the weak acid and the corrosion inhibitor. Compared with the comparative example, at the lower limit (Example 1) and upper limit (Example 3) of the concentration range and the optimal range (Example 2), the surface yellowing, the number of surface black spots, the roughness and the phosphating performance are all in a good state. The phosphating performance in Example 1 fluctuates slightly, but can still be maintained in a qualified state.

[0129] In Examples 4 and 5, the concentrations of the hot rolled coil material and the surface treatment solution are kept basically the same on the basis of Example 1, and the spraying pressure, flow rate and temperature of the solution in the surface treatment section are mainly changed. When these parameters change within the lower limit (Example 1) and upper limit (Example 5) of the process range and the optimal range (Example 4), the surface yellowing, the number of surface black spots, the roughness and the phosphating performance are all in a good state, and the roughness is basically maintained in a relatively stable state.

[0130] Example 6 changes the strip speed and acid concentration in the chemical pickling section on the basis of Example 2. The strip speed is increased by 35% and the acid concentration is reduced by 20%. The surface yellowing, the number of surface black spots, the roughness and the phosphating performance are all in good condition.

[0131] Based on Examples 1-6 and the comparative example, the high-pressure surface treatment process for pickled high-strength steel of the present invention is highly efficient and environmentally friendly. The process can efficiently treat the surface of the pickled high-strength steel plate, so that the pickled high-strength steel has high-quality surface characteristics of no yellowing, no black spots, and low roughness, further ensuring good phosphating performance for user-end use.

[0132] In summary, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, which should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
