Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of plate shape control technology, and particularly relates to a method for optimizing the plate shape quality of hot continuous rolling ultra-low carbon IF steel. BACKGROUND
[0002] IF steel, i.e. interstitial-free steel, has been widely used in the automobile industry. Since the C and N contents in the IF steel are low, by adding a certain amount of titanium, niobium and other strong carbonitride forming elements, the carbon and nitrogen interstitial atoms can be completely fixed as carbonitride, so as to obtain a clean ferrite steel without interstitial atoms, i.e. ultra-low carbon IF steel.
[0003] The ultra-low carbon IF steel has excellent deep drawing performance, and the elongation and r value can reach 50% and 2.0 or more, so the load is small during hot rolling, and it is also called "soft steel". Since the rolling temperature is high and the load is small, the plate shape control of the ultra-low carbon IF steel during hot continuous rolling becomes a big problem. Especially for the limit thin gauge ultra-low carbon IF steel with a thickness of less than 2.5 mm, the plate shape profile after hot continuous rolling is irregular, and the crown fluctuation, "cat ear" and "flat top" problems are prominent. SUMMARY

[0014] Further, the thickness of the intermediate slab is increased to 40 mm in (3).
[0015] Further, the temperature of the edge heater is increased to 80 DEG C in (4).
[0016] Further, the temperature deviation of each heating furnace after the furnace is controlled to be not more than 25 DEG C.
[0017] Further, the ultra-low carbon IF steel is selected from DC05-DC07 and other similar specifications, and can be applied to the limit thin specification steel of similar varieties.

[0028] In order to make those skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without any creative effort should belong to the protection scope of the present application.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] In view of the problems that the roll shift often reaches the limit position and the actual target crown is small in the hot rolling production site, the limit thin gauge plate shape quality of the hot continuous rolling ultra-low carbon IF steel is optimized, specifically, the R2 work roll is changed to-150 μm negative crown, and the roll shape of the F5, F6 and F7 work rolls in the finishing rolling process is adjusted.
[0031] After the R2 work roll is changed to-150 μm negative crown, the plate shape is observed continuously for two weeks, the plate shape control remains good, and the roll shift position of F1 is improved and no longer stays at the limit position.
[0032] The roll shape formula of the F5, F6 and F7 work rolls in the finishing rolling process before adjustment is as follows:
[0033] R(x) = R0 + 1.378542 x 10 -3 -6 2 + 3.621548 x 10 -10 3
[0034] The adjusted roll shape formula is:
[0035] R(x) = R0 + 1.250883 x 10 -3 -6 2 + 3.621548 x 10 -10 3
[0036] wherein R(x) represents the radius of any point x on the working roll, and R0 is the reference radius of the roll.
[0037] The comparison curves of roll shapes before and after adjustment are shown in Figure 1 , wherein CVC-old represents the roll shape before adjustment, and CVC-new represents the roll shape after adjustment. After installing the new roll shape, the strip shape is continuously tracked, and it is found that the overall strip shape is good, and the roll shifting position is obviously improved (as shown in Figure 2 ). Before improvement (the part of the horizontal coordinate before 60 in Figure 2 ), the roll shifting basically fluctuates at +150 mm, and after improvement (the part between the horizontal coordinates 60-180 in Figure 2 ), it periodically shifts around 0 mm.
[0038] Example 2
[0039] Taking DC05 steel as an example, in view of the convexity fluctuation problem of the limit thin gauge steel plate of hot continuous rolling ultra-low carbon IF steel, the strip shape quality is optimized, specifically, the intermediate billet thickness is increased to 40 mm, and the finish rolling exit temperature is not less than 880℃. The relationship among the rough rolling exit temperature RDT, the finish rolling entry temperature FET and the finish rolling exit temperature FDT of four different intermediate billet thicknesses is shown in Table 1; Figure 3 Figure 4 The full length convexity of the steel plate with roll number H11249128178 and the steel plate with roll number H23249128099 in Table 1, respectively. It can be seen that the full length average convexity of the steel plate with roll number H11249128178 is 38.53 μm, the average value of the convexity is small, and the fluctuation range is 20-50 μm, the fluctuation is large; the full length average convexity of the steel plate with roll number H23249128099 is 57.90 μm, the average value of the convexity is large, and the fluctuation range is 40-60 μm, the fluctuation is small. It is shown that increasing the intermediate blank thickness and controlling the finishing rolling exit temperature not less than 880 °C is helpful to increase the full length average convexity and reduce the fluctuation range.

[0041]
[0042] Example 3
[0043] In view of the "cat ear" and "flat top" phenomenon (as shown in Figure 5 ) of the limit thin gauge steel plate of the hot continuous rolling ultra-low carbon IF steel, the optimization method for the shape quality of the plate is specifically to stabilize the burning quality of the heating furnace, to ensure that the temperature deviation after the discharge of each heating furnace is not more than 25 °C, to increase the heating temperature, to control the heating temperature not less than 1260 °C, to require that the edge heating is used during the production of the ultra-low carbon IF steel, and to increase the setting temperature of the edge heater to 80 °C. Table 2 is the specific process parameters for improving the "cat ear" and "flat top" problem of the DC06 steel (2.5 mm*1268 mm) by using the above technical means. Through the process optimization, the temperature trend of the cross section of the strip steel is improved, the intermediate temperature difference of the strip steel is reduced, and the edge metal flowability along the longitudinal direction is enhanced, so that the cat ear is smoothly reduced (as shown in Figure 6 ).
