Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of hot-rolled steel bars for reinforced concrete and their production processes, and particularly relates to a steel for 400MPa grade high manganese non-magnetic steel bars and a production method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the steel industry, electric furnaces, extra-high voltage electrical rooms in the power industry, and large nuclear fusion devices, etc., are related to buildings in strong magnetic environments. If ordinary hot-rolled ribbed steel bars are used, they will be continuously stressed under the action of the magnetic field, and ultimately may cause the concrete protective layer to crack or even the component to be damaged. Therefore, non-magnetic steel bars must be used to replace ordinary hot-rolled ribbed steel bars to ensure the safe use of relevant buildings.

[0003] The invention patent with the publication number CN 115449598A, which was published on December 9, 2022, discloses a method for preparing non-magnetic steel bars. The disclosed preparation method includes: KR pretreatment for desulfurization of hot metal, converter smelting, nitrogen blowing, LF refining, VD vacuum refining, continuous casting, shot peening inspection, and rolling; among which, low-S hot metal is obtained by using KR pretreatment before smelting; in addition, in the nitrogen blowing step, calcium carbide, calcium aluminate, lime, and iron oxide scale are added to the molten steel, and with this unique top slag process, under sufficient refining nitrogen blowing time, the inclusions in the molten steel are effectively deformed and floated up and absorbed into the top slag, and the size of the inclusions in the final finished steel bars is generally less than 20μm.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned prior art, there is no clear means for performance strengthening, and it is very likely that the mechanical properties cannot stably reach the 400MPa grade, and it does not meet the engineering application conditions. Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a steel for 400MPa grade high manganese non-magnetic steel bars. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a steel for 400MPa grade high manganese non-magnetic steel bars and a production method thereof. By adding Mn and Al, and combining with the steelmaking and rolling processes, an austenite structure is formed at room temperature to meet the requirement of magnetic permeability ≤ 1.05. By adding V and utilizing its precipitation strengthening effect, the mechanical properties of the steel bars are improved to reach R eL ≥400MPa, R m ≥600MPa, A≥30%, which can meet the technical requirements of the mechanical properties of non-magnetic steel bars for key projects. The present invention does not contain Cr element, has low cost, and the production process is not complicated, which is suitable for large-scale industrial production and popularization and application.

[0006] The specific technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A steel for 400MPa grade high manganese non-magnetic steel bars, including the following components by mass percentage:

[0008] C 0.15 - 0.35%, Si 0.20 - 0.40%, Mn 18 - 28%, P ≤ 0.025%, S ≤ 0.025%, V 0.05 - 0.10%, Al 2.0 - 4.0%, N 0.01 - 0.02%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurity elements.

[0009] The chemical composition of the steel for 400 MPa grade high manganese non - magnetic steel bars satisfies: 4.2 ≤ L = 1.5×[C] + 0.20×[Mn] + 10.0×[N] ≤ 5.8. In the formula, C, Mn, and N affect the strength performance and non - magnetic performance. Calculated according to this formula, the strength and non - magnetic performance of the product are ensured.

[0010] In the formula, each symbol represents the corresponding chemical composition content × 100%.

[0011] The microstructure of the steel for 400 MPa grade high manganese non - magnetic steel bars is austenite.

[0012] The R of the steel for 400 MPa grade high manganese non - magnetic steel bars eL ≥400 MPa, R m ≥600 MPa, A ≥ 30%, and the relative magnetic permeability ≤ 1.05.

[0013] Preferably, the R of the steel for 400 MPa grade high manganese non - magnetic steel bars eL ≥450 MPa, R m ≥650 MPa, A ≥ 47%, and the relative magnetic permeability ≤ 1.05.

[0014] A kind of steel for 400 MPa grade high manganese non - magnetic steel bars provided by the present invention includes the following technological processes:

[0015] Electric furnace smelting → LF furnace refining → RH vacuum treatment → continuous casting → rolling.

[0016] The specific production key points are as follows:

[0017] For the electric furnace smelting: First, add scrap steel + ferromanganese alloy, and then pour in hot metal, where the proportion of hot metal is 30 - 50%, and the proportion of scrap steel + ferromanganese alloy is 70 - 50%. Turn on the electrodes and start the oxygen lance to heat up. The end - point requirements are: P ≤ 0.010%, S ≤ 0.010%, and the temperature is 1575 - 1625 °C; slag - stopping tapping, add ferrotitanium and slag materials when 1 / 4 of the molten steel is tapped, add aluminum cakes when 3 / 4 of the molten steel is tapped, and after tapping is completed, sprinkle an appropriate amount of aluminum particles evenly on the steel slag surface according to the amount of slag flowing down.

[0018] The LF furnace refining: argon is blown from the bottom of the ladle throughout the whole process, and the argon flow rate is based on the molten steel not splashing out of the ladle; 0.83-1.65kg / t of pre-melted refining slag and 6.67-8.33kg / t of lime are added, TFe+MnO in the slag is ≤1.0%, and alloys are added before, during and after LF furnace refining to adjust the content of Si, Mn, V and Al elements according to the component analysis results before entering the LF furnace, wherein Al is added by feeding aluminum wire, and other alloys are added in blocks through the feeding system. The temperature out of the LF furnace is 1580-1620℃.

[0019] The RH vacuum degassing: the temperature of the molten steel entering the RH vacuum furnace is 1540-1560°C; in the early stage of vacuum, the vacuum holding time is ≥12 minutes, and the composition is adjusted in the middle stage of vacuum according to the composition analysis results in the early stage of vacuum, and the vacuum holding time is guaranteed to be ≥8 minutes after adjustment. The temperature out of the RH vacuum furnace is 1500-1520°C.

[0020] Continuous casting: small billet continuous casting adopts full-process protection casting, the pouring temperature is 1465-1485℃, the crystallizer cooling water flow rate is 3000 liters / minute, and the secondary cooling water volume is 0.8-1.2 liters / kg to ensure the surface quality of the billet.

[0021] The rolling is carried out by a continuous bar mill: the heating temperature is controlled at 1150-1250°C, the steel tapping temperature is controlled at 980-1080°C, three-stage water cooling is adopted after finish rolling, the temperature drops by 150-250°C, and the upper cooling bed temperature is controlled at 800-900°C.

[0022] The design ideas of the present invention are as follows: (1) According to the actual national conditions of my country, which lacks Ni and Cr but is rich in Mn, a high Mn composition design is adopted, and a certain amount of C, N, and Al are added at the same time to cooperate with Mn to expand and stabilize the austenite phase region, and form a single austenite structure at room temperature, thereby ensuring the low magnetic permeability of the steel bar. Mn is a strong austenite-forming element, which can enable steel to obtain a single-phase austenite structure at room temperature and greatly reduce the magnetic permeability of the steel. The key point of the present invention is to organically combine the composition optimization adjustment with metallurgical quality control, so that the steel bar obtains high strength and toughness while obtaining excellent non-magnetic properties. (2) A certain amount of V is added to utilize its precipitation strengthening effect to improve the mechanical properties of the steel bar. (3) The steel billet is heated at a higher temperature to promote the solid solution of the above elements. (4) After rolling, three-stage water cooling is adopted to reduce the temperature by 150 to 250°C to avoid the formation of martensite and other structures, thereby ensuring the magnetic permeability of the steel bar at room temperature.

[0023] In the present invention, C: an element conducive to the formation of a single-phase austenite structure, which also has a good solid solution strengthening effect and is effective in improving the strength of steel. However, with the increase of the C content, although a single austenite structure can be obtained under water quenching or air cooling conditions, too high a C content will reduce the plasticity of the steel and increase the tendency of austenite grain growth, thus leading to an increase in magnetic permeability. The C content in the present invention is controlled at 0.15 - 0.35%.

[0024] Si: Its main role in steel is deoxidation. Since the atomic radius of Si is much smaller than that of the austenite phase, its solid solution strengthening effect is obvious. However, Si is a non-carbide forming element, which can reduce the solubility of C in austenite, thus causing the precipitation of carbides in the steel and being unfavorable to the stability of the austenite structure. The Si content in the present invention is controlled at 0.20 - 0.40%.

[0025] Mn: A very strong austenite forming element, which can expand the austenite region and make the austenite structure stable. Most of the Mn in the steel can be dissolved in austenite to form a substitutional solid solution, and with the increase of the Mn content, the transformation temperature from austenite to martensite further decreases, increasing the stability of austenite. The Mn content in the present invention is controlled at 18 - 28%.

[0026] V: An element that strongly forms carbonitrides. The fine and dispersed precipitates of VC, VN, and V(CN) formed inhibit the growth of austenite grains. At the same time, the fine and dispersed precipitates of VC, VN, and V(CN) are conducive to the nucleation of austenite and improve the strength of the steel through the co-lattice distortion and dispersion strengthening effects. The V content in the present invention is controlled at 0.05 - 0.10%.

[0027] Al: It can increase the stacking fault energy of austenite, strongly inhibit the martensite transformation, and stabilize the austenite structure. It is one of the key elements of austenitic steel. However, the upper limit of the Al content depends on whether high-temperature δ-ferrite appears, and the lower limit depends on whether the transformation from low-temperature austenite to martensite can be avoided. The Al content in the present invention is controlled at 2.0 - 4.0%.

[0028] N: A strong austenite forming element and an interstitial solid solution element. It forms VN and V(CN) compounds with V, greatly improving the strength of the steel. The N content in the present invention is controlled at 0.01 - 0.02%.

[0029] P, S: Belong to harmful impurity elements, which are not conducive to ensuring the strength, plasticity, and low magnetic properties of the steel. The P and S contents in the present invention are controlled at ≤0.025%.

[0030] The non-magnetic properties and mechanical properties of the steel bars in the present invention are achieved by the combined action of the above elements, rather than the individual action of each element.

[0031] With the rapid development of many fields in China such as electric power, rail transit, construction, and national defense industry, there is a demand for non-magnetic steel and non-magnetic steel bars. Compared with the existing technology, the present invention adopts the above components and production methods to obtain a yield strength R eL ≥400 MPa, a tensile strength R m ≥600 MPa, and an elongation after fracture A≥30%; it is evaluated by the measurement method of the magnetic permeability of weak magnetic materials in GJB 937-90, and its relative magnetic permeability ≤1.05. Its mechanical properties meet the requirements of HRB400E steel bars in GB 1499.2 and can meet the needs of construction in non-magnetic fields such as China's national defense industry. In addition, the steel bars of the present invention do not need to use scarce Cr elements, have low production costs, and feasible production processes, and have good market prospects.
