Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of steel production, and particularly relates to a production method of steel wire rod for rare earth microalloyed high-strength welding wire. Background Art

[0002] In the steel industry system, as a key raw material for welding materials, the quality of the production process of steel wire rod directly affects the welding quality and product performance of many downstream industries, and plays a crucial role in promoting the high-end development of the manufacturing industry.

[0003] In the current rapidly developing modern industrial pattern, frontiers such as aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and ocean engineering have extremely stringent requirements for the performance of welding materials. Rare earth high-strength welding wire, with its unique performance advantages, can significantly improve the strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance of welded joints, and has been widely used in these high-end manufacturing fields. However, when facing the increasing high-quality requirements, the traditional steel wire rod production process exposes many problems that need to be solved urgently.

[0004] Firstly, the poor purity of molten steel is a prominent problem. A large number of inclusions in the steel are likely to cause defects such as pores and cracks during the welding process, seriously affecting the welding quality, and thus reducing the reliability and service life of the welded structure. Secondly, the control accuracy of alloying elements during the smelting process is insufficient, resulting in large fluctuations in the chemical composition of the steel wire rod, making it difficult to ensure the consistency of product performance and unable to meet the strict requirements of large-scale industrial production for product quality stability. Thirdly, there are obvious shortcomings in the addition link of rare earth elements in the traditional process. Neither the best addition method of rare earth elements nor the appropriate addition timing is fully considered, so that the excellent properties of rare earth elements in the steel cannot be fully exerted, greatly restricting the further development and application of rare earth high-strength welding wire. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a production method of steel wire rod for rare earth microalloyed high-strength welding wire, and produce steel wire rod for rare earth high-strength welding wire with excellent quality and stable performance to meet the urgent needs of modern high-end manufacturing for high-quality welding materials.

After the wire rod is laid head, on the Stelmor air cooling line, the cooling time is controlled at 15 minutes by adjusting the fan air volume to 80%.

[0032] Furthermore, medium cooling intensity is adopted for secondary cooling of the continuous casting billet, and the cooling water volume is controlled at 1.8 cubic meters per minute; after the wire rod is spun, on the Stelmor air-cooling line, the air volume of the fan is adjusted to 75%, and the cooling time is controlled for 18 minutes.

This directly improves the welding performance of the welding wire, reduces the generation of welding defects, greatly improves the weld quality, and provides reliable material support for high-end welding applications.

Before use, fully bake the alloy raw materials to remove moisture and prevent the introduction of harmful gases such as hydrogen during the smelting process, which may affect the quality of the steel.

[0044] Smelting process:

[0045] Converter smelting: Add the pretreated hot metal and high-quality scrap steel to the converter in a scientific ratio. With the help of an advanced automatic control system, precisely regulate the oxygen flow rate and blowing time, and monitor the changes in the composition and temperature of the molten steel in real time, so that elements such as carbon, silicon, and manganese in the molten steel are oxidized to the target range. At the same time, adopt an optimized slag-making process to effectively remove impurities such as phosphorus and sulfur in the molten steel.

At the same time, the heating time and temperature upper limit are strictly controlled to avoid overheating and overburning of the casting blank, and guarantee good organizational structure and performance of the casting blank before rolling.

[0057] Rolling process: A multi-pass continuous rolling process is adopted. By reasonably distributing the reduction per pass, the steel billet is gradually deformed into the required wire rod size. During the rolling process, an automated control system is used to accurately control the rolling speed and cooling speed, optimize the organizational structure and performance of the wire rod, and improve the strength, toughness and surface quality of the wire rod.
