Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of iron and steel metallurgy, and in particular to a heat treatment-free high-strength and tough Q460NC steel plate and an efficient rolling method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Q460NC is a low-alloy high-strength structural steel that combines high strength and good toughness. It is widely used in engineering machinery, bridges, buildings, large steel structures and other fields. At present, many domestic steel mills have the ability to produce this 460MPa grade steel. Among them, the micro-alloying strategy is mainly adopted in the composition design to improve its comprehensive mechanical properties by adding Nb, V, and Ti micro-alloying elements alone or in combination. In terms of rolling technology, with the improvement of the level of medium and thick plate equipment, controlled rolling + controlled cooling technology has become the mainstream trend in the production of 460MPa grade high-strength steel.

[0003] For example, the patent with publication number CN109594014A "A low-cost Q460C steel plate and its preparation method", the patent with publication number CN104651716A "A production method of low-alloy Q460C steel plate", the patent with publication number CN117385276A "A low-cost high-strength steel with a yield strength of 460MPa and its production method", the patent with publication number CN116786585A "A method for improving the rolling rhythm of a steel plate with a yield strength of 460MPa", the patent with publication number CN106086647A "A low-alloy high-strength steel Q460C and its production method", and the patent with publication number CN10456182 Patents such as "Q460C low alloy high strength structural steel strip and its production process" with publication number CN102041436A, "Q460C low alloy high strength structural steel plate and its production method" with publication number CN111979499A, "A low cost Q460C thick gauge steel plate production method" with publication number CN112921241A, "A method for producing Q460 grade building steel with low yield ratio and high toughness under air cooling" with publication number CN112921241A all adopt the two-stage controlled rolling process of "recrystallization rolling (rough rolling) - intermediate billet waiting for warming - two stages of non-recrystallization (finishing rolling)" to produce 460MPa grade steel plates with performance that meets the requirements. However, there is little mention of the cooling method of the intermediate billet from rough rolling to finishing rolling. Most steel mills use air cooling of the intermediate billet waiting for warming, because the cost of setting up an instant cooling system between the rough rolling and finishing rolling stands is relatively high. The air cooling of the intermediate billet takes a long time, which affects the output per unit time of the rolling line and is not conducive to the maximum production capacity of the production line. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-strength and tough Q460NC steel plate that does not require heat treatment and an efficient rolling method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-strength and tough Q460NC steel plate without heat treatment and an efficient rolling method thereof in view of the shortcomings and defects in the prior art. By optimizing the rolling process parameters and accurately controlling the rolling process, the strategy of "moderate reduction in the high-temperature recrystallization zone - rapid cooling of the intermediate billet - rolling in the non-recrystallization zone - controlled cooling" is adopted to solve the problems of excessive mill load and reduced output due to the intermediate billet waiting for temperature, give full play to the micro-alloying effect of Nb-V-Ti, develop an efficient controlled rolling technology, and realize the production of high-strength and tough Q460NC medium and thick plates without heat treatment.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical scheme: a heat-treatment-free high-strength and toughness Q460NC steel plate and an efficient rolling method thereof, comprising the following components by mass percentage: C: 0.15-0.19%; Si: 0.20-0.40%; Mn: 1.35-1.55%; Nb: 0.01-0.05%; Ti: 0.006-0.05%; V: 0.04-0.07%; Als: 0.02-1%; P≤0.020%; S≤0.010%; N≤0.008%; Ni≤0.30%; Cu≤0.30%; Cr≤0.30%; Mo≤0.10%; V+Nb+Ti≤0.22%; Mo+Cr≤0.30%; the rest is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0011] Furthermore, in the rough rolling process, specifically: before rough rolling, the steel billet needs to undergo 1-2 dephosphorizations to ensure the quality of dephosphorization, and descale 3-4 times during the rough rolling process. The descaling must be clean. When the steel temperature is high or the surface quality of the steel plate is not good, one more time can be added.

[0023] A heat-treatment-free high-strength and tough Q460NC steel plate and an efficient rolling method thereof, comprising the following steps:

[0024] S1. The components of C, Si, Mn, Nb, Ti, V, Als, P, S, N, Ni, Cu, Cr, Mo, V+Nb+Ti, Mo+Cr, and Fe are subjected to converter smelting, refining, and continuous casting.

[0025] In the refining process, the white slag stabilization time is ≥20 minutes, and the target slag system is obtained through slag making control: CaO: 45-55%; Al2O3: 15-25%; SiO2: 10-20%; MgO: 6-8%; (FeO+MnO)≤1%; in the early stage of refining and when adjusting the composition, a larger argon blowing intensity is used for stirring to enhance desulfurization and uniform composition, and the stirring intensity is appropriately reduced in the middle and late stages of refining; soft argon blowing is carried out after wire feeding and before the hanging bag, and the soft blowing time is ≥10min.

[0026] In the continuous casting process, the molten steel temperature is 1512℃, the target superheat is 22±4℃, the tundish pouring temperature is 1585±5℃; continuous casting furnace: 1560±5℃; protective casting is adopted, the ladle is covered, the tundish is added with insulation covering agent, the ladle casing is used between the ladle and the tundish, argon is sealed between the ladle water inlet and the ladle casing, an immersed water inlet is used between the tundish and the crystallizer, argon is sealed between the tundish water inlet and the immersed water inlet, and the crystallizer protective slag is used for whole-process protection casting; the secondary cooling water ratio is 0.35~0.8L / kg, and the pulling speed is controlled at 0.90~1.20m / min.

[0027] S2, heating, rough rolling, rapid cooling of intermediate billets and finish rolling of continuous casting billets.

[0028] In the rough rolling process, specifically: before rough rolling, the steel billet needs to undergo 1-2 dephosphorizations to ensure the quality of dephosphorization, and descale 3-4 times during the rough rolling process. The descaling must be clean. When the steel temperature is high or the surface quality of the steel plate is not good, one more time can be added. According to the thickness of the finished product, the starting temperature of the rough rolling is 1050-1150°C.

After rolling, it is quickly sent to the controlled cooling zone for controlled cooling, with a cooling rate of 5 to 15°C / s. According to the final rolling temperature, the appropriate number of controlled cooling manifold openings is selected to ensure that the final cooling temperature is 625 to 675°C and the red-returning temperature is 605 to 680°C.
