Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for improving the central precipitation phase of a stainless steel cold-rolled thin plate, and in particular to a method for improving the central precipitation phase of a high-alloy stainless steel cold-rolled thin plate. Background Art

[0002] Metal material preparation technology, heat treatment technology and stainless steel materials are very important technical fields in modern manufacturing. Metal material preparation technology mainly uses various processing methods to make metal materials into the required shape and performance. Heat treatment technology changes the internal structure of metal materials to improve their mechanical properties and durability. Stainless steel is a metal material with excellent corrosion resistance and is widely used in aerospace, construction, medical and other fields.

[0003] For the preparation of high alloy (high chromium and high molybdenum alloy, by mass percentage, the chromium content is usually between 20 and 25%, and the molybdenum content is usually between 1 and 6%) stainless steel cold-rolled sheets, a cold rolling annealing process is usually used. Cold rolling is the process of pressing the stainless steel sheet into the required thickness through a rolling mill at room temperature, and annealing is heating the cold-rolled stainless steel sheet to a certain temperature, keeping it for a period of time, and then cooling it at a certain speed to eliminate the internal stress generated during the cold rolling process and improve its organizational structure. However, in the process of preparing high alloy stainless steel cold-rolled sheets, when annealing the high alloy stainless steel cold-rolled sheets, due to the low annealing temperature and slow cooling rate, more Sigma phases are left, and Sigma phases are a kind of intermetallic compound, and the presence of which will reduce the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of stainless steel. Therefore, how to effectively reduce the residue of Sigma phase in the center of high alloy stainless steel cold-rolled sheets is an important problem currently faced. Summary of the invention

Accelerate the cooling rate: After annealing, the present invention accelerates the cooling rate to inhibit the recrystallization and growth of the Sigma phase and further reduce its residue in the central area. This rapid cooling method can effectively shorten the production cycle and improve production efficiency.

[0015] 3. Improve the organizational structure: Through high temperature annealing and rapid cooling, the organizational structure of high alloy stainless steel cold-rolled thin plate can be improved to make it more uniform and dense, thereby improving its corrosion resistance and mechanical properties.
