Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy, and in particular to a production method of 6.5 specification wire rod coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel. Background Art

[0002] High-speed wire SWRCH22A cold heading steel is a steel grade produced according to the Japanese standard JIS G3507-1-2021. It is a steel grade for low- and medium-carbon high-quality carbon structural steel and alloy steel wire, with excellent cold processing performance, mechanical properties and surface quality. With the rapid development of industry and manufacturing, the demand for high-quality and high-performance fasteners is increasing. As an important fastener material, SWRCH22A cold heading steel has broad application prospects in the fields of automobiles, mechanical equipment, and electronic products.

[0003] At present, in order to improve the quality of SWRCH22A cold heading steel, a large amount of trace elements are added in the production, which leads to the increase of production cost and the consumption of precious metal resources. At the same time, due to the use of high rolling and high wire drawing temperature, the product surface is prone to peeling, bulging, bubbles and other quality defects; the use of 6000mm short square billet for rolling has low production efficiency and increases the energy consumption in the rolling process.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a production method for 6.5 specification wire rod coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel to solve the problems of low production efficiency, poor quality and high cost of the existing SWRCH22A cold heading steel. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for producing 6.5 specification wire rod coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel, by controlling the heating temperature, rolling temperature, deformation amount, and segmented cooling to enhance the plasticity and strength of the finished steel, and at the same time adjusting the alloy elements to reduce the production cost.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the technical problem is: a method for producing 6.5 specification wire rod round SWRCH22A cold heading steel, comprising the following steps:

[0007] S1. The chemical composition of the steel billet used for continuous casting is C: 0.18-0.20, Si: 0.03-0.05, Mn: 0.7-0.9, Al: 0.025-0.035, S and P impurity elements ≤ 0.015, nitrogen content ≤ 70ppm, and the rest is iron and unavoidable impurities;

[0008] S2, the continuous casting billet is evenly heated in a three-stage walking beam heating furnace;

[0009] S3. The molten steel after being discharged from the heating furnace is subjected to rough rolling, intermediate rolling, pre-finishing rolling, finishing rolling, module mill, and wire laying machine to produce finished coils. Water-penetrating cooling is set before and after finishing rolling and after the module mill to adjust the cooling rate of the steel and control the grain deformation and phase change temperature.

[0010] S4, after the spinning machine, it passes through the Stelmor air cooling line to adjust the internal structure of the finished steel to ferrite + pearlite.

[0011] Specifically, the size of the continuous casting billet in step S1 is 165mm*165mm*12000mm.

[0012] Specifically, the three-stage walking beam heating furnace in step S2 adopts intelligent combustion control technology and sets different temperature range standards according to different steel types and production specifications.

[0013] Specifically, the temperature range standard is that when producing SWRCH22A steel with a specification of φ6.5mm with cold billets, the temperature of the second section of the three-stage walking beam heating furnace is controlled at 890°C, the temperature of the first section is controlled at 1080°C, and the temperature of the equalizing section is controlled at 1120°C. When using cold billets for production, the temperature of each section increases to varying degrees, the starting rolling temperature is controlled at 1010°C, and automatic combustion technology is adopted. The temperature difference of the billet passing rod is controlled within 10°C.

[0014] Specifically, the rough rolling and intermediate rolling areas in step S3 use 14 horizontal and vertical alternating rolling mills, and the pre-finishing rolling area uses 14 horizontal and vertical alternating rolling mills and two Danieli finishing mills, and the material shape is controlled to be a 18.9mm circle; then it is cooled through two water tanks, and the water supply pressure of the water tank is controlled to be above 14Bar to control the cooling rate of the rolled piece, and after passing through the 3# flying shear head, it enters the Danieli finishing mill group, at which time the temperature is controlled to 920±10℃, and the finishing mill group uses a one-to-two 45° top-crossing finishing mill, and uses a roller ring hole type that is universal for all specifications. Different numbers of rolling mills are used according to different production specifications, and the outlet out-of-roundness is controlled within 0.3mm.

[0015] Specifically, the rolled piece is cooled again after the finishing mill, passes through three water tanks, and the temperature of the rolled piece is controlled to 920°C before entering the dual-module unit. After passing through four rolling mills, the required product size is finally achieved. After the finished product is finished, it is evenly cooled in sections through three water tanks, and finally the spinning temperature is also controlled at 920±10°C to ensure that the product surface is dense, uniform and smooth.

[0016] Specifically, a Danieli high-speed flying shear device is installed in front of the spinning machine in step S4 to automatically shear the steel with excessive head and tail dimensions and excessive mechanical properties. After spinning, the steel passes through the Stelmor air cooling line, where an insulation cover is used to slowly cool the finished product and adjust the product structure to ensure that the final product contains pearlite and ferrite without a hardened layer.

[0017] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The 6.5-gauge wire rod coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel production method designed by the present invention significantly reduces the alloy composition and increases the hourly output compared with the hot rolling production mode. Compared with hot rolling production, it can reduce the overall cost by 85 yuan / ton, greatly reducing the production cost.

[0019] The 6.5-gauge wire coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel production method designed by the present invention controls the heating temperature, the rolling temperature, the deformation amount, and the segmented cooling to enhance the plasticity and strength of the finished steel, and adjusts the alloy elements at the same time, thereby reducing the consumption of precious metal resources and lowering the production cost.

[0020] The invention designs a 6.5 specification wire rod coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel production method, a three-stage walking beam heating furnace, and uses pulse combustion technology for automatic combustion to ensure uniform temperature of the steel rod, while increasing the speed of the walking beam, designing a spaced furnace entry process, reducing the furnace time of the steel billet, controlling grain growth, and improving product performance.

[0021] The 6.5-gauge wire rod coil SWRCH22A cold heading steel production method designed by the present invention controls a large reduction in a low-speed zone, so that the grains are severely deformed to improve the final performance of the product; the water tank is modified to increase the nozzle reaction speed, control the cooling rate of the rolled piece, and control the temperature of the rolled piece through process cooling and post-rolling cooling to ensure product performance indicators.
