Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of advanced high-strength steel, and in particular to a low-cost, high-surface-quality 780MPa-grade alloyed hot-dip galvanized dual-phase steel and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the field of steel materials, 780MPa grade alloyed hot-dip galvanized duplex steel is widely used in key structural parts such as automobiles and buildings due to its good strength, formability and corrosion resistance. However, with the increasingly stringent requirements on the surface quality of steel, especially in the hot-dip galvanizing process, duplex steel with high silicon (Si) and manganese (Mn) content faces significant surface quality challenges.

[0003] In the traditional hot-dip galvanizing process, high Si and Mn steels are prone to elemental oxidation during high-temperature processing, forming surface oxide precipitation, which not only damages the aesthetics of the product, but may also lead to reduced coating adhesion, plating defects and dezincification, thereby significantly reducing the corrosion resistance and service life of the product. In the prior art, although the humidification process can inhibit oxidation to a certain extent, a long-term high dew point environment is prone to cause the zinc layer to fall off; and if the pre-oxidation process alone is not properly controlled, it may cause surface overoxidation, affecting the subsequent galvanizing effect. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the problems of the prior art, the present invention provides a low-cost, high-surface-quality 780MPa grade alloyed hot-dip galvanized duplex steel and a production method thereof. The present invention solves the problem of surface oxidation control of high Si and Mn steels during hot-dip galvanizing by precisely controlling the high dew point annealing and pre-oxidation process parameters, thereby preparing a low-cost, high-surface-quality 780MPa grade alloyed hot-dip galvanized duplex steel.
