Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the production technology of steel for containers, in particular to a normalized Q370R steel plate for low-temperature storage tanks with a thickness of less than 40 mm and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] Q370R is a grade in the national standard GB / T713.2 - 2023 Steel plates and strips for pressure equipment. As a classic steel grade, Q370R is widely used and in great demand in the boiler and pressure vessel industry. Q370R requires delivery in the normalized state. Practical production experience shows that after normalization, the yield strength and tensile strength of the steel plate decrease significantly, and it is very easy to have a situation where the strength is too low or even unqualified, which affects the qualification rate of the steel products and causes losses to production enterprises. Therefore, it is particularly important to improve the performance stability of Q370R steel plates.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN101713044A discloses "A Q370R steel for pressure vessels and its preparation method", and the chemical composition by weight percentage is: C: 0.14 - 0.18%, Si: 0.25 - 0.50%, Mn: 1.45 - 1.60%, P≤0.020%, S≤0.015%, Nd: 0.28 - 0.35%, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities. The Q370R steel plate meeting the GB713 - 2008 standard is produced by the method of TMCP + post-normalization cooling. The disadvantages are that, firstly, a large amount of Nd element is added to the composition, which greatly increases the smelting and continuous casting difficulty and at the same time increases the cost, making it difficult to produce stably. Secondly, the control method of rapid cooling after normalization puts forward requirements for the production equipment of steel mills, increases the production difficulty, and is not applicable to all steel mills.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN105603304A discloses "A thick Q370R steel plate for pressure vessels with good HIC and SSCC resistance and a manufacturing method", and the composition by mass percentage is: C 0.12 - 0.17%, Si 0.15 - 0.40%, Mn 1.4 - 1.65%, Cu 0.1 - 0.3%, Mo 0.05 - 0.08%, Nb 0.015 - 0.040%, V 0.015 - 0.05%, P<0.012%, S<0.002%, and the rest is Fe and inevitable impurities. The Q370R steel plate with a thickness of 10 - 60 mm and good performance, especially with good HIC and SSCC resistance, is produced by the method of TMCP + rapid cooling after normalization. The disadvantages are that, firstly, precious metals such as Mo and Cu are added to the composition, increasing the production cost. Secondly, the control method of rapid cooling after normalization puts forward requirements for the production equipment of steel mills, increases the production difficulty, and is not applicable to all steel mills.
[0005] Chinese Patent CN102605245A discloses "A Ni-free normalized Q370R pressure vessel steel and its preparation method". The chemical composition by weight percentage is: C: 0.15 - 0.18%, Si: 0.25 - 0.50%, Mn: 1.40 - 1.60%, P ≤ 0.015%, S ≤ 0.005%, Nb: 0.02 - 0.03%, V 0.07 - 0.08%, Ti 0.006 - 0.010%, and the balance is Fe and unavoidable impurities. The Q370R steel plate meeting the GB713-2008 standard is produced by the method of TMCP + air cooling after normalizing. The disadvantage is that the national standard version has been updated from GB713-2008 to GB / T713-2023, and this invention is no longer applicable to the production of Q370R.

The heating temperature is 1210 °C - 1250 °C; the total time in the furnace is greater than 270 min, among which the heating section time is greater than 120 min, and the soaking section time is greater than 30 min to ensure the full solution of alloying elements and uniform slab temperature; Rolling and cooling: Two-stage controlled rolling is adopted for rolling, usually referred to as the rough rolling stage and the finish rolling stage; rough rolling is carried out on a 3800 mm roughing mill, the starting rolling temperature is above 1170 °C, and the relative reduction per pass is controlled at least two passes above 15%; the set torque during the first stage of rolling is 2280 kN·m; during finish rolling, the deformation of each pass is strictly controlled, the starting rolling temperature of finish rolling is ≤ 930 °C, and the final rolling temperature is ≤ 830 °C; the set torque during the second stage of rolling is 2320 kN·m; after the steel plate is rolled, laminar cooling is carried out, the water temperature is 17 - 20 °C, the final cooling temperature is 650 - 700 °C, the head shielding is 0 - 2.0 m, the tail shielding is 0 - 2.5 m, and the edge shielding is 0 - 2.0 m. The overall temperature difference after the steel plate turns red is controlled ≤ 50 °C; the steel plate is stacked and slowly cooled for 12 hours and then sampled for inspection; Normalizing heat treatment: The steel plate after shot blasting enters the normalizing furnace, the normalizing temperature is 850 °C, and the holding time is t × 1.5 min / mm + 30 minutes, where t is the thickness of the steel plate in mm.
