Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy, and in particular to a decarburization annealing process design method for oriented silicon steel. Background Art

[0002] The production process of oriented silicon steel is long and difficult. Energy-saving and consumption-reducing technologies in the production process of oriented silicon steel can significantly reduce production costs and improve economic benefits. Improving process speed is a necessary condition for improving production efficiency. Decarburization annealing is a key process for oriented silicon steel to obtain a suitable primary recrystallization structure. It is also a key process for decarburization to avoid magnetic aging of finished products, obtain sufficient acquired inhibitors and oxide layer formation. However, as the process speed increases, the oxide layer of the annealed steel plate will become thinner, and the decarburization and nitriding effects will also be affected. At the same time, the primary recrystallization structure will change, thereby affecting the magnetic properties of the finished product. Therefore, satisfying the matching relationship between temperature, time and partial pressure ratio is the key to ensuring smooth decarburization and nitriding and achieving efficient production.

[0003] The Chinese patent with publication number CN113832322B discloses a high-efficiency decarburization annealing process for high-magnetic induction oriented silicon steel. The main process flow is: steelmaking and continuous casting → hot rolling → pickling and normalizing → cold rolling → decarburization and primary recrystallization annealing → nitriding treatment (low-temperature HiB) → coating of magnesium oxide isolation agent → high-temperature annealing → stretching and flattening annealing → coating of insulating coating → finishing. The process flow of low-temperature HiB is different from that of high-temperature HiB mainly in that a nitriding section is added after decarburization annealing. Under the premise of ensuring that the physical quality of the product is not lower than the existing level (domestic leading level), this invention makes the annealing efficiency of Hi-B steel reach the world's leading level and significantly reduces the manufacturing cost. However, the patent only designs the process for the physical quality after adding the nitriding function to the decarburization annealing, and does not propose an efficient decarburization design method.

[0004] The Chinese patent with publication number CN113249554A discloses a decarburization annealing process for high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel. First, the silicon steel coil is unwound, looped, and cleaned; then the silicon steel is decarburized and nitrided. The ammonia flow rate is 6-20m 3 / h, humidification tank temperature 30-70℃, decarburization temperature 780-880℃, unit speed 45-75m / min, hydrogen ratio 20%-60%, nitrogen ratio 40%-80% in the atmosphere, and then cooled to room temperature; looping the silicon steel; and then coating the silicon steel with magnesium oxide, the coating amount is 4-10g / m 2; Finally, the silicon steel is dried and rolled into a silicon steel coil; The decarburization annealing process of high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel is optimized and designed through the present invention, and the parameters such as ammonia flow rate, atmosphere, and humidification tank water temperature in the decarburization annealing process are adjusted, and the contents of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in the high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel are optimized, so that the high magnetic induction oriented silicon steel can achieve stable performance, and the magnetic induction reaches 1.92T; However, the patent optimizes the decarburization annealing atmosphere to ensure good control indicators of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen elements and achieve stable performance, and no efficient decarburization technology and method are proposed.

[0005] The present invention provides a method for designing a decarburization annealing process for oriented silicon steel, which adjusts the decarburization annealing heating temperature, the annealing atmosphere, The partial pressure ratio and decarburization annealing time are taken as design parameters. By introducing the above three parameters into the decarburization kinetics, the decarburization annealing heating temperature, the annealing atmosphere and the decarburization kinetics of different thickness specifications of steel plates are obtained when the decarburization requirements are met. The optimal matching relationship between the partial pressure ratio and the decarburization annealing time is obtained, and then when any two of the parameters are fixed, the optimal value of the third variable is obtained by calculation, so as to achieve precise control of decarburization annealing, and provide a basis for designing decarburization annealing process parameters for the development of new oriented silicon steel varieties.
