Continuously annealed cold-rolled high-strength steel strips are becoming more and more widely used due to their uniform mechanical properties, high dimensional accuracy, and excellent surface quality and plate quality. Low-temperature continuous annealing cold-rolled high-strength steel strips are a kind of high-strength steel manufactured by cold rolling process. After low-temperature continuous annealing treatment, they have excellent mechanical properties and processing properties.

[0003] For example, the Chinese patent with application number CN202110535971.6, a smelting method for improving the fluidity of molten steel after refining and desulfurization of rebar, discloses a smelting method for improving the fluidity of molten steel after refining and desulfurization of rebar, the rebar refining and desulfurization process includes: converter smelting - post-furnace and argon station treatment - LF refining - continuous casting, the LF refining process includes: adding slag-making material lime before refining and power transmission, and adding fluorite to adjust the slag fluidity, and controlling the basicity of the refined slag to meet the standard requirements; during power transmission Diffusion deoxidation is carried out, and the power is turned off after the slag is transparent.

[0004] However, the existing production method still has the problem of difficult to control the fluidity of molten steel during the steel strip smelting process, resulting in insufficient uniformity of the steel strip structure and affecting the mechanical properties of the steel strip. Summary of the invention
[0005] The embodiments of the present application provide a low-cost, low-temperature continuous annealing, cold-rolled high-strength steel strip and a production method thereof, thereby solving the problems in the prior art of steel strip smelting production, such as difficulty in controlling the fluidity of molten steel, insufficient uniformity of the structure of the produced steel strip, and affecting the mechanical properties of the steel strip. During the smelting process, steel particles with different particle sizes are added in steps to improve the stability and fluidity of the molten steel, promote uniform deformation of the steel strip, and achieve optimization of the steel structure and improvement of the overall performance.
[0006] The embodiment of the present application provides a low-cost low-temperature continuous annealing cold-rolled high-strength steel strip, and the casting method of the steel strip slab is: after converter smelting, post-furnace and argon station treatment, and then refining, and continuous casting after refining.
[0007] Furthermore, the casting method of the steel strip slab is specifically as follows: the converter smelting adopts a top and bottom combined blowing mode, which increases the steel tapping temperature by 5-10°C and increases the desulfurization efficiency during the converter smelting process; In the refining process, when the oxygen content in the molten steel is 20-40ppm and S≤0.040%, particle steel is added.
[0008] Furthermore, the addition of particle steel is carried out in two steps: First, add 60% of the total amount of particle steel, let it fully melt and mix with the molten steel; After the first added particle steel is melted, add the remaining particle steel; The particle size of the particle steel is 300μm, and the amount of particle steel added is 1.5%-3% of the weight of the molten steel. The physical and chemical index requirements of the particle steel are: TFe≥85%, and the oxygen content in the molten steel is controlled in the range of 40-80ppm.
[0009] Furthermore, the particle size of the first added steel particles is 5 mm; after the first added steel particles are melted, the remaining steel particles are added; the particle size of the remaining steel particles is 200 μm.
[0010] Furthermore, the steel strip has a thickness of 0.5-1.0 mm and a width of 1200-1500 mm.
[0011] Furthermore, the chemical composition and mass percentage of the steel strip are: C: 0.035-0.060%, Si≤0.048%, Mn: 0.30-0.55%, P: 0.015-0.025%, S≤0.020%, Als: 0.020-0.060%, N≤0.005%, Cr: 0.03-0.06%, and the rest are Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0012] A method for producing a low-cost low-temperature continuous annealing cold-rolled high-strength steel strip, specifically comprising the following steps: S1. Hot rolling is performed on the continuous casting slab to obtain a hot rolled steel strip. The hot rolling process is that the laminar cooling mode after finishing rolling is the front-stage centralized cooling, the coiling temperature is 635±15°C, and the U-type coiling mode is adopted, that is, the coiling temperature of the steel strip 30 meters from the head to the tail is 30°C higher than the design value; S2, continuously pickling and cold rolling the hot-rolled steel strip, using a five-stand tandem CVC+six-roller cold rolling mill with a total cold rolling reduction of 72-82%, to obtain a cold-hardened steel strip; S3. Continuously anneal the cold-hardened steel strip using a vertical full-radiant tube heating continuous annealing furnace. The annealing furnace area is equipped with a high-precision radar-type correction system. The annealing uniform heating temperature is 610-640°C, the annealing slow cooling temperature is 560-575°C, the annealing over-aging temperature is 355-385°C, and a six-roller CVC wet leveler is used. The elongation of the leveler is 0.6-0.8% to obtain the cold-rolled steel strip.
[0013] Furthermore, the coolant for laminar cooling in step S1 is cooling water, and the cooling water adopts a cooling method combining water column and water mist. Specifically, a row of spray nozzles is arranged between every two rows of water nozzles for laminar cooling.
[0014] Furthermore, the water column pressure is 18 MPa, the water column diameter is 5 mm, and the water column spray duration is 0.5 s; the water mist pressure is 10 MPa, the droplet diameter is 100 μm, the water mist spray diameter is 10 mm, and the water mist spray duration is 0.5 s.
[0015] Furthermore, the coolant also includes hydraulic oil, and the ratio of hydraulic oil to cooling water is 1: (9-20).
[0016] Furthermore, the coolant is pre-treated before spraying, specifically: Mix the hydraulic oil and cooling water in proportion, add them into the ultrasonic emulsification equipment and stir at a stirring speed of 2000-4000 rpm; continue stirring for 5-30 minutes until a uniform and stable emulsion is formed.
[0017] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: First, after the particle steel is added to the molten steel, it interacts with the molten steel components through the dissolution and diffusion process to form a uniform molten steel component. The step-by-step addition of the particle steel can control the progress of this process, so that the particle steel can be more fully dissolved and diffused; by adding the particle steel in steps, first adding 60% of the total amount to allow it to fully melt and mix with the molten steel, and then adding the remaining particle steel, the particle steel can be evenly distributed in the molten steel. This uniform distribution can avoid the formation of local aggregation of the particle steel in the molten steel, thereby improving the uniformity of the steel strip component, reducing the local concentration difference and temperature gradient in the molten steel, and thus improving the stability and fluidity of the molten steel; the uniform distribution of the particle steel can reduce the local viscosity difference in the molten steel and further improve the fluidity; Secondly, as the core of heterogeneous nucleation, large-size particle steel can promote the crystallization process of molten steel and refine the cast structure. Large-size particle steel provides more nucleation sites, so that the molten steel can form more and finer grains during the solidification process; large-size particle steel can pin the austenite grain boundary, inhibit the growth of grains in the subsequent hot working process, and maintain the fine state of the grains, thereby improving the plasticity and toughness of the material; small-size particle steel can react quickly with other substances due to its smaller particle size and larger specific surface area, promoting the homogenization of molten steel and the uniform distribution of components; larger-size particle steel can release more heat during the melting process, promote the temperature rise and fluidity of molten steel, and smaller-size particle steel can melt more quickly and mix evenly with molten steel, ensuring the rapid homogenization of molten steel components and avoiding component segregation, thereby obtaining molten steel with more uniform components; Third, by adopting a cooling method combining water column and water mist, the cooling rate of the steel strip can be controlled more accurately. The U-shaped coiling mode is adopted at the head and tail of the steel strip, which further ensures the cooling uniformity of the entire length of the steel strip. This uniform cooling can promote the acquisition of fine ferrite grains. The lower coiling temperature can inhibit the growth of ferrite grains and promote the formation of fine ferrite grains. After hot rolling, the austenite structure inside the steel will undergo a phase transformation during the cooling process and transform into ferrite and other structures. The speed of cooling will directly affect the phase transformation process and the size of ferrite grains. A faster cooling rate can inhibit the growth of ferrite grains, while a slower cooling rate is likely to cause coarse grains. The cooling method combining water column and water mist can provide a more uniform and efficient cooling effect, avoid local overheating or overcooling, and thus obtain fine ferrite grains. Fourthly, after the cooling water and liquefied oil are mixed, they are stirred vigorously to form an emulsion. The oil droplets in the emulsion are surrounded by water molecules to form a stable dispersion system. This emulsion has better lubricity and cooling performance. After the emulsion is sprayed onto the surface of the steel strip, it will quickly spread out and form a uniform film. Since the emulsion contains hydraulic oil components, this film has lubricity and adhesion, and can fit tightly on the surface of the steel strip, playing a heat-insulating role on the surface of the steel strip, reducing heat loss, and making the cooling energy more concentrated on the surface of the steel strip, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. At the same time, the lubricating properties of the emulsion can reduce the friction resistance during the cooling process, making the cooling process smoother and further shortening the cooling time. The cooling water component will evaporate quickly, taking away the heat on the surface of the steel strip, causing the temperature of the steel strip to drop rapidly. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The elongation of the leveler is 0.6-0.8% to obtain the cold-rolled steel strip.
[0020] A group experiment was conducted for this embodiment. Table 1 below shows the dosage ratio of each group in the group experiment of this embodiment 1; Table 1
[0021] The main process control parameters are shown in Table 2; Table 2
[0022] The low-cost low-temperature continuous annealing cold-rolled high-strength steel strip obtained from the above experiments was stretched according to the tensile test method for metal materials (GB / T 228.1), and its mechanical properties are shown in Table 3: Table 3
[0023] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: When particle steel is added to molten steel, the iron oxide in it will react with the reducing substances (such as carbon, silicon, etc.) in the molten steel to release oxygen, thereby increasing the oxygen content in the molten steel; an appropriate amount of oxygen content can improve the fluidity of the molten steel; during the solidification process of the molten steel, oxygen can combine with the impurity elements (such as sulfur, phosphorus, etc.) in the molten steel to form high-melting point compounds, which exist in the molten steel in solid form, thereby reducing the viscosity of the molten steel and improving its fluidity. At the same time, oxygen can also promote the floating and removal of inclusions in the molten steel, further improving the purity and fluidity of the molten steel; after the particle steel is added to the molten steel, it reacts with the components of the molten steel through the process of dissolution and diffusion. The interaction of the steel particles forms a uniform composition of the molten steel. The step-by-step addition of the steel particles can control the progress of this process, so that the steel particles can be more fully dissolved and diffused; by adding the steel particles step by step, first adding 60% of the total amount to allow it to fully melt and mix with the molten steel, and then adding the remaining steel particles, the uniform distribution of the steel particles in the molten steel can be promoted. This uniform distribution can avoid the formation of local aggregation of the steel particles in the molten steel, thereby improving the uniformity of the steel strip composition, reducing the local concentration difference and temperature gradient in the molten steel, and thus improving the stability and fluidity of the molten steel; the uniform distribution of the steel particles can reduce the local viscosity difference in the molten steel and further improve the fluidity; Small-size particle steel has a larger specific surface area, so it reacts faster with other substances. After being added to molten steel, they can quickly dissolve and react with other elements, refine the grain structure of the steel, thereby increasing the density of the grain interface, making the microstructure of the steel more uniform and dense; small-size particle steel can increase the number of grain interfaces, thereby improving the grain boundary strengthening effect, increasing the density of the grain interface, and increasing the strength and hardness of the material. In addition, small-size particle steel can also increase the difficulty of dislocation movement within the crystal, thereby improving the tensile strength. Grain boundary strengthening and dislocation strengthening mechanisms jointly improve the strength and hardness of the steel; small-size particle steel increases the number of grain boundaries by refining the grains, which allows the material to have more grain boundaries to share and absorb energy when subjected to external forces. At the same time, the increase in dislocation density also improves the material's ability to resist plastic deformation, thereby improving the material's plasticity and toughness; When the steel particles are first added to the molten steel, due to the high temperature of the molten steel, the steel particles will quickly melt and disperse into the molten steel; due to the effect of gravity, most of the steel particles will settle to the middle and bottom layers of the molten steel; after the steel particles added for the first time melt and partially settle, the steel particles are added again. At this time, since a certain amount of steel particles already exist in the molten steel, the newly added steel particles are more easily dispersed to the surface and middle layers of the molten steel, making the distribution of the steel particles in the molten steel more uniform; As an iron-based alloy, particle steel can increase the liquid fluidity of molten steel and reduce its viscosity after melting. Particle steel has high oxidizability and can react with reducing substances in molten steel to generate inclusions such as oxides or sulfides. Adding particle steel twice can make these inclusions more evenly distributed in molten steel, thereby further improving the fluidity of molten steel and reducing defects and cracks in steel strips. Particle steel, as a heterogeneous nucleation core, can promote grain nucleation and refinement during the solidification of molten steel. Adding particle steel twice can make the grain refinement effect more obvious and make the grain distribution more uniform. The uniform distribution of particle steel can ensure that the grain refinement degree of each part of the steel strip is similar, improve the strength and toughness of the steel strip, and thus improve the overall performance of the steel strip. Improved fluidity of molten steel promotes uniform deformation and good surface quality of steel strip during hot rolling, forms uniform steel strip thickness and good surface finish, and improves hot rolling efficiency and quality; uniform distribution of particle steel can reduce local stress concentration during hot rolling and reduce the risk of cracks; during laminar cooling, the cooling rate of the steel strip has an important influence on the structure and performance of the steel strip. The steel strip formed by hot rolling with molten steel with good fluidity has a more uniform internal structure, which promotes uniform control of the cooling rate during laminar cooling. Uniform distribution of particle steel can ensure that the cooling rates of various parts of the steel strip are similar during the cooling process, thereby reducing the performance differences caused by uneven cooling; during annealing, the steel strip formed by molten steel with good fluidity is easier to achieve uniform organization and performance optimization during annealing; step-by-step addition of particle steel can refine the grains of the steel strip and improve the strength and toughness of the steel strip. The steel strip treated with step-by-step addition of particle steel will have better tensile properties, impact toughness, strength and processing properties.
[0024] Embodiment 2: The above-mentioned embodiment 1 obtains a steel strip with excellent mechanical properties and uniform composition by adding particle steel step by step during the smelting process to improve the fluidity of molten steel, thereby improving the stability and fluidity of molten steel, promoting uniform deformation of the steel strip, and improving the overall performance of the steel strip. In order to further improve the overall performance of the steel strip, further improvements are made on the basis of embodiment 1.
[0025] In the refining process, the addition of particle steel is carried out in two steps: First, add the particle steel with a particle size of 5 mm; After the first added steel particles are melted, the remaining steel particles are added; the particle size of the remaining steel particles is 200 μm.
[0026] The experiment for this embodiment was conducted on the basis of Experiment 5 of Embodiment 1. The difference between the experiment for this embodiment and Experiment 5 of Embodiment 1 is that the addition of particle steel is carried out in two steps: first, the particle size of the added particle steel is 5 mm, and the particle size of the remaining particle steel is 200 μm.
[0027] After testing, the steel strip thickness of this embodiment is 0.7mm, the yield strength is 495Mpa, the tensile strength is 569Mpa, and the elongation after fracture is A 50 It is 25.1% and the hardness HRB is 90.3.
[0028] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: As the core of heterogeneous nucleation, large-size particle steel can promote the crystallization process of molten steel and refine the cast structure. Large-size particle steel provides more nucleation sites, so that the molten steel can form more and finer grains during the solidification process; large-size particle steel can pin the austenite grain boundary, inhibit the growth of grains in the subsequent hot working process, and maintain the fine state of grains, thereby improving the plasticity and toughness of the material; small-size particle steel can react quickly with other substances due to its smaller particle size and larger specific surface area, promote the homogenization of molten steel and the uniform distribution of components, thereby shortening the steelmaking cycle and improving production efficiency; larger-size particle steel can release more heat during the melting process, promote the temperature rise and fluidity of molten steel, and smaller-size particle steel can melt more quickly and mix evenly with molten steel, ensuring the rapid homogenization of molten steel components and avoiding component segregation, thereby obtaining molten steel with more uniform components; The large-size particle steel added first acts as a heterogeneous nucleation core to refine the cast structure of the steel, and the small-size particle steel added subsequently further refines the grains and increases the density of the grain interface through rapid reaction; the large-size particle steel pins the austenite grain boundary, inhibits grain growth and provides a heterogeneous nucleation core to improve the overall strength of the steel, and the small-size particle steel increases the density of the grain interface and the difficulty of dislocation movement to further improve the strength and hardness of the steel; the large-size particle steel improves the plasticity of the material by refining the structure and inhibiting grain growth, and the small-size particle steel further improves the plasticity and toughness of the material by refining the grains, increasing the dislocation density and the difficulty of dislocation movement; By adding steel particles with different particle sizes in steps, the mechanical properties of steel, such as strength, hardness, plasticity and toughness, are further improved; for products that require high strength and high wear resistance, adding large-size and small-size steel particles can significantly improve their product quality and service life. The rapid response of small-size steel particles can shorten the steelmaking cycle and improve production efficiency. At the same time, due to the improvement of molten steel fluidity and stability, the efficiency of hot rolling and annealing processes is improved; the step-by-step addition of steel particles with different particle sizes can promote the uniform distribution of steel strip components and the homogenization of the organization. The uniform grain structure and higher grain boundary density make the deformation of the steel strip more uniform during cold rolling. During annealing, the refined grains and uniform component distribution promote the homogenization of the organization and the optimization of performance, reducing the performance differences caused by uneven composition or organization.
[0029] Embodiment 3: Embodiment 2 above achieves optimization of steel structure and improvement of overall performance by adding steel particles of different particle sizes step by step during the smelting process and utilizing a combination of large particle size and small particle size steel particles. To further improve the overall performance of the steel strip, further improvements are made on the basis of Embodiment 2.
[0030] The coolant for laminar cooling in step S1 is cooling water, and the cooling water adopts a cooling method combining water column and water mist, specifically, a row of spray nozzles is arranged between every two rows of water nozzles for laminar cooling; Among them, the water column pressure is 18MPa, the water column diameter is 5mm, and the water column spray duration is 0.5s; the water mist pressure is 10MPa, the droplet diameter is 100μm, the water mist spray diameter is 10mm, and the water mist spray duration is 0.5s.
[0031] For this embodiment, experiments were conducted on the basis of embodiment 2. The difference between the experiments of this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that the cooling water of laminar cooling adopts a cooling method combining water column and water mist, the water column pressure is 18MPa, the water column diameter is 5mm, and the water column spray duration is 0.5s; the water mist pressure is 10MPa, the droplet diameter is 100μm, the water mist spray diameter is 10mm, and the water mist spray duration is 0.5s.
[0032] After testing, the steel strip thickness of this embodiment is 0.7mm, the yield strength is 514Mpa, the tensile strength is 591Mpa, and the elongation after fracture is A 50 It is 26.2% and the hardness HRB is 93.9.
[0033] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: By adopting a cooling method combining cooling water and water mist, the cooling rate of the steel strip can be controlled more accurately, especially by adopting a U-shaped coiling mode at the head and tail of the steel strip, which further ensures the cooling uniformity of the entire length of the steel strip. This uniform cooling can promote the acquisition of fine ferrite grains, and a lower coiling temperature can inhibit the growth of ferrite grains and promote the formation of fine ferrite grains. After hot rolling, the austenite structure inside the steel will undergo a phase transformation during the cooling process and transform into ferrite and other structures. The speed of cooling will directly affect the process of phase transformation and the size of ferrite grains. A faster cooling rate can inhibit the growth of ferrite grains, while a slower cooling rate is likely to cause coarse grains. The cooling method combining water column and water mist can provide a more uniform and efficient cooling effect, avoid local overheating or overcooling, and thus obtain fine ferrite grains. A lower coiling temperature can slow down the transformation rate of austenite to ferrite, giving ferrite grains less growth time and space, thereby refining the grains. Precise control of cooling rate affects the precipitation of carbides. Appropriate cooling rate can promote the precipitation of fine and uniform carbides and improve the hardness and strength of the steel strip. During the cooling process, the carbon element in the steel will combine with other alloy elements to form carbides. The precipitation behavior and distribution state of carbides have an important influence on the performance of the steel strip. The speed of cooling rate will affect the precipitation kinetics of carbides. A faster cooling rate can inhibit the growth of carbides and promote the formation of fine carbides. The cooling method combining water column and water mist can provide a more uniform cooling environment and promote the uniform precipitation of carbides. Fine ferrite grains and uniform carbide precipitation can significantly improve the mechanical properties of the steel strip, such as yield strength, tensile strength and hardness. When only water column is used for laminar cooling, excess water in the water column will overflow to both sides, affecting the accuracy of laminar cooling for temperature control of the steel strip area. After the water column sprays water, a large amount of water vapor is generated in situ, which will have a morphological effect on the subsequent water column and water mist, thereby interfering with the precise temperature control. By arranging the water nozzles and the spray nozzles at intervals, the influence of overflow on the temperature control of the steel strip is avoided. At the same time, the influence of water vapor on temperature control is reduced, ensuring that the water mist can be sprayed onto the steel strip evenly and stably, thereby improving the accuracy of temperature control and improving the structural properties of the steel strip. The water column has a high impact force and cooling efficiency, which can quickly reduce the temperature of the steel strip surface. The water mist can evenly and finely cover the steel strip surface, make up for the blind spots of water column cooling, and improve the uniformity of cooling. By setting the spray structure of water column and water mist at intervals, the overflow caused by continuous water column is avoided, thereby affecting the temperature control problem. At the same time, intermittent spraying can control the cooling rate, and avoid cracks or deformation of the steel strip due to too fast cooling. The water mist has a larger surface area and can cover the steel strip surface more evenly, improving the uniformity of cooling. At the same time, the water mist can also reduce the water splashing phenomenon generated during the water column cooling process, avoiding damage to the steel strip surface. The combined use of water column and water mist makes the cooling effect more uniform and efficient; the water column can quickly take away a large amount of heat from the surface of the steel strip, while the water mist can supplement the lack of water column cooling and improve the uniformity of cooling; the uniform cooling effect can obtain a more delicate steel strip structure and improve the mechanical properties and processing performance of the steel strip. At the same time, the supplementary use of water mist can also reduce the temperature gradient caused by water column cooling and avoid excessive stress concentration inside the steel strip; the use of water mist can reduce the water splashing phenomenon generated during the water column cooling process and avoid damage to the surface of the steel strip. At the same time, the uniform coverage of water mist can also improve the smoothness of the steel strip surface and reduce the occurrence of surface defects; by adjusting the parameter settings of the water nozzle and the spray nozzle, the cooling effect can be flexibly adjusted to improve the flexibility and adaptability of production.
[0034] Embodiment 4: The above-mentioned embodiment 3 optimizes the cooling effect by adopting a laminar cooling method combining water column and water mist, and by arranging water nozzles and spray nozzles at intervals, thereby improving the cooling efficiency, improving the structural performance of the steel strip, improving the surface quality of the steel strip, and enhancing production flexibility. In order to further improve the overall performance of the steel strip, further improvements are made on the basis of embodiment 3.
[0035] The coolant for laminar cooling also includes hydraulic oil, and the ratio of hydraulic oil to cooling water is 1: (9-20); The coolant is pre-treated before injection, specifically: Mix the hydraulic oil and cooling water in proportion, add them into the ultrasonic emulsification equipment and stir at a stirring speed of 2000-4000 rpm; continue stirring for 5-30 minutes until a uniform and stable emulsion is formed; The emulsion is transported to the water nozzle and the spray nozzle through the pipeline and sprayed according to the set parameters.
[0036] The experiment of this embodiment is conducted on the basis of the experiment of the third embodiment. The difference between the experiment of this embodiment and the experiment of the third embodiment is that the coolant of the laminar cooling also includes hydraulic oil, and the ratio of the hydraulic oil to the cooling water is 1:15.
[0037] After testing, the steel strip thickness of this embodiment is 0.7mm, the yield strength is 527Mpa, the tensile strength is 599Mpa, and the elongation after fracture is A 50 It is 27.1% and the hardness HRB is 96.7.
[0038] The technical solutions in the above embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: After the cooling water and liquefied oil are mixed, they are stirred vigorously to form an emulsion. The oil droplets in the emulsion are surrounded by water molecules to form a stable dispersion system. This emulsion has better lubricity and cooling performance. After the emulsion is sprayed onto the surface of the steel strip, it will quickly spread out and form a uniform film. Since the emulsion contains hydraulic oil components, this film has certain lubricity and adhesion, and can fit tightly on the surface of the steel strip, play a heat insulation role on the surface of the steel strip, reduce heat loss, and make the cooling energy more concentrated on the surface of the steel strip, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. At the same time, the lubricating property of the emulsion can reduce the friction resistance during the cooling process, making the cooling process smoother and further shortening the cooling time. The cooling water component will evaporate quickly, taking away the heat on the surface of the steel strip, causing the temperature of the steel strip to drop rapidly. The hydraulic oil component in the emulsion has good lubricating properties. The hydraulic oil component forms a thin and uniform oil film on the surface of the steel strip, reducing the water splashing phenomenon generated during the water column cooling process. The lubricating effect of the oil film can reduce the scratches and wear of the steel strip during the cooling process, avoid damage to the steel strip surface, reduce friction and wear, and improve the surface quality of the steel strip; the lubricating effect can also reduce the heat generated by friction, making the cooling process more efficient; the water in the emulsion can quickly absorb and take away the heat on the surface of the steel strip, reduce the temperature of the steel strip, and thus achieve rapid cooling. The presence of the oil film can reduce the loss of heat, so that the cooling energy acts more concentratedly on the surface of the steel strip, thereby improving the cooling efficiency. The emulsion can cover the surface of the steel strip more evenly, avoiding stress concentration and uneven organization caused by uneven cooling; The uniform cooling effect can obtain a more delicate steel strip structure and improve the mechanical properties and processing performance of the steel strip. At the same time, the hydraulic oil component in the emulsion can also reduce the temperature gradient caused by cooling and avoid excessive stress concentration inside the steel strip. The hydraulic oil component in the emulsion forms an oil film on the surface of the steel strip to reduce friction and wear and improve the surface finish of the steel strip. At the same time, the uniform cooling effect can also reduce the occurrence of surface defects and improve the appearance quality of the steel strip. The uniform cooling effect and good lubricity can obtain a more delicate steel strip structure and improve the mechanical properties of the steel strip such as tensile strength, yield strength and elongation.
