Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of roll preparation, in particular to a green short-process forged steel support roll preparation method. Background Art

[0002] Forged steel support rollers are used to support working rollers or intermediate rollers during the steel rolling process to prevent the working rollers from bending and deforming and affecting the output and quality of plates and strips. As an important component of the rolling mill, the support rollers must have high wear resistance, good anti-stripping and good accident resistance. Due to their high technical requirements, the production process is complex, the production process is multi-step, the cycle is long, and the energy consumption is relatively large. The original production process of forged steel support rollers is: forging blanks → annealing heat treatment → roughing → quenching and tempering heat treatment → semi-finishing turning → performance heat treatment → finished product processing.

[0003] In order to respond to the country's requirements for the green development of industrial manufacturing, it is necessary to develop a green short-process forged steel support roller preparation method to overcome the problems existing in the existing forged steel support roller production process. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a green short-process forged steel support roller preparation method, which optimizes the production process and production technology of forged steel support rollers, has a simple production process, fewer production steps, a short cycle, and relatively low energy consumption.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: A green short-process forged steel support roller tempering heat treatment method uses a combination of Deform simulation and actual production to study the tempering heat treatment process of forged steel support roller blanks. By comparing the blank tempering with the rough tempering, the temperature field inside the roller body will change. Using UG software, a 1:1 product model is established, and then the Deform simulation software is used to simulate the temperature field of the product during different heat treatment processes to study the tempering heat treatment process of forged steel support roller blanks. Specifically, the following steps are included: Step 1, the steel ingot is forged into a forged steel support roller blank; Step 2: After forging, the forged steel support roller blank is air-cooled. Step 3, after air cooling, wrap the two end surfaces of the roll neck of the forged steel backup roll blank with a protective layer; Step 4, placing the forged steel support roller blank wrapped with the protective layer into a heat treatment furnace for quenching and tempering heat treatment; Step 5, after the heat treatment, the forged steel support roller blank is first water-cooled, and then air-cooled; Step 6, tempering the air-cooled forged steel support roller blank; Step 7, after removing the protective layer from the tempered forged steel support roller blank, perform rough turning and semi-finishing turning to continuously produce the finished product.

[0006] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that in step 2, the air cooling time is 6-10 hours, so that the surface temperature of the forged steel support roller blank reaches 450-500°C.

[0007] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that in step 3, ceramic fibers and thin steel plates are used to wrap both end surfaces of the roll neck of the forged steel support roll blank.

[0008] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that in step 4, the tempering heat treatment specifically includes: after the forged steel support roller blank wrapped with a protective layer is loaded into a heat treatment furnace, the furnace temperature is adjusted to 600-700°C, and the first insulation is performed for 5-10 hours to evenly adjust the internal and external temperatures of the forged steel support roller blank, so that the core temperature of the roller body is reduced to below 700°C to complete the structural transformation; after the first insulation is completed, the temperature is increased to 930-980°C at a heating rate of 50-60°C / h to start the second insulation, and the second insulation time is 20-30 hours.

[0009] A further improvement of the technical solution of the present invention is that: in step 5, the forged steel support roller blank is hoisted into a water pool as a whole during water cooling, and the circulating water in the water pool is turned on to start water cooling, and the water cooling time is 100-150 minutes; after the water cooling is completed, the forged steel support roller blank is hoisted out of the water pool as a whole for air cooling, and the air cooling time is 10-15 hours.

[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the technical progress achieved by the present invention is: The present invention, in the conventional forged steel support roller production process, performs tempering heat treatment after the blank forging is completed, combines the original blank annealing heat treatment with the post-roughing tempering heat treatment into one, innovates the forged steel support roller tempering heat treatment process, can make full use of forging waste heat, reduce heat treatment energy consumption, and realize rough turning and semi-finishing turning combined processing after hot processing, thereby reducing processing costs, shortening the forged steel support roller production process, shortening the production preparation cycle, reducing pollution emissions, and improving product market competitiveness.
