Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the field of sensors, and particularly relates to a low-ear-rate deep-drawing sensor shell cold-rolled austenitic stainless steel and a manufacturing method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an important protective part of a precision sensor element, a sensor shell is often made of plastic, aluminum, copper, stainless steel and the like. Austenitic stainless steel is widely used in daily life, and in particular, 304 stainless steel is an excellent food-grade stainless steel, which is more corrosion-resistant and reliable than conventional aluminum and plastic materials. In the temperature sensor shell industry, a stainless steel material with a thickness of 0.4 mm is generally used. The stainless steel material produced by a conventional production process has a local material protrusion at the edge of the shell body during the stretching of the sensor shell, that is, an ear phenomenon. The protruding edge can seriously damage the mold during further stretching, and a process of cutting off the ear is also needed, which not only increases the production cost and reduces the efficiency, but also causes great waste of raw materials. SUMMARY

[0013] Further, in step S3, the parameters of the intermediate process annealing are as follows: running speed of 135 m / min, and furnace temperature of 1050-1120 DEG C.

[0014] Further, in step S4, the soft state material is rolled for 5 passes, and the second cold rolling deformation is controlled at 50%-60%, so as to obtain a hard state material with a thickness of 0.38-0.42 mm.

[0015] A preparation method of a low-earring-rate deep-drawing sensor shell cold-rolled austenitic stainless steel, the low-earring-rate deep-drawing sensor shell cold-rolled austenitic stainless steel prepared by the method comprises, by mass percentage, 0-0.08% of carbon, 0-0.80% of silicon, 0-2.00% of manganese, 0-0.045% of phosphorus, 0-0.003% of sulfur, 18.00-20.00% of chromium, 8.00-10.00% of nickel, and the balance of iron.

[0021] It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0022] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] In this embodiment, the specific implementation process and key process parameters of a cold-rolled austenitic stainless steel process for a low earing rate deep-drawing sensor shell are provided. The material is a conventional 304 grade steel with a 2.5*1240 specification black skin raw material.

[0025] S1: The hot-rolled black skin raw material with a nominal thickness of 2.5 mm is subjected to a conventional hot-rolled continuous annealing and pickling unit to obtain a white skin raw material.

[0026] S2: The raw material of the first plate is rolled by a twenty-roll single-stand reversible cold rolling mill for 7 passes, with the first cold rolling deformation controlled at 68%, to obtain a hard state plate with a thickness of about 0.8 mm.

[0027] S3: After rolling, the 0.8 mm hard state steel coil is subjected to intermediate process annealing (135 m / min running, furnace temperature 1050-1120°C) through a cold rolling and annealing process, to obtain a soft state material with a grain size of 7.5-8.

[0028] S4: The soft state material with a thickness of 0.8 mm is rolled for 5 passes with a total deformation of 50% to obtain a 0.4 mm hard state plate.

[0029] S5: The 0.4 mm hard state material after rolling is subjected to cold rolling, annealing and pickling to obtain a 2D surface material with a grain size of 7.5-8 and a planar anisotropy index Δr value of about -0.13. After sensor shell tensile testing, the ear height difference is 0.15 mm, which meets the tensile use requirements, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0030] The greater the cold rolling deformation, the more serious the fibrosis of the material grain structure, i.e. the more serious the deformation of the grain structure. During recrystallization annealing, the recrystallized grain orientation is not randomly distributed. The greater the deformation, the greater the degree of grain preferred orientation, and the stronger the deformation texture, thereby causing the material to have obvious differences in performance in the planar direction, and further causing the occurrence of earing after stretching. At the same time, without flattening and straightening, it is mainly to avoid one-way deformation and exacerbate the performance difference of the material in different directions.

[0031] Comparative Example 1

[0032] The material is a conventional 304 grade steel with a 2.5*1240 specification black skin raw material.

[0033] S1: The hot-rolled black skin raw material with a nominal thickness of 2.5 mm is subjected to a conventional hot-rolled continuous annealing and pickling unit to obtain a white skin raw material.

[0034] S2: The raw material of the first plate is rolled by a twenty-roll single-stand reversible cold rolling mill for 11 passes with a total deformation of 84%, to obtain a hard state plate with a thickness of about 0.4 mm.

[0035] S3: the 0.4mm hard material after rolling is subjected to cold rolling, annealing, pickling and skin passing to obtain a material with 2B surface, and the material is stretched and straightened, the grain size of the material is 8, the planar anisotropy index Δr value is about -0.60, the ear height difference is 0.85mm after sensor shell stretching test, which does not meet the requirement of continuous stretching sensor shell, and the material needs to be stretched after removing and cutting the ear, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0036] The above merely describes the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
