Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of steel production, and in particular relates to an oriented silicon steel, a preparation method thereof, and a steel product. Background Art

[0002] Grain-oriented silicon steel, primarily used in transformer cores, is an important soft magnetic material. Half of its silicon content is above 3%. This high silicon content makes it brittle, resists deformation during cold rolling, and is prone to edge cracking and strip breakage. Grain-oriented silicon steel can be categorized by its hot-rolling temperature as low-temperature, medium-temperature, or high-temperature oriented silicon steel. The hot-rolling temperature for medium-temperature oriented silicon steel ranges from 1250°C to 1350°C. The higher the hot-rolling temperature, the more susceptible it is to edge cracking and strip breakage during cold rolling. High-temperature oriented silicon steel has been phased out of the market, with low-temperature and medium-temperature oriented silicon steel being the primary production targets. The main finished thickness specifications for oriented silicon steel are 0.18mm, 0.20mm, 0.23mm, 0.27mm, 0.30mm, and 0.35mm; thicknesses of 0.18-0.23mm are considered thin. Reducing the thickness is an effective means to reduce steel loss of oriented silicon steel. However, as the thickness decreases, the cold rolling reduction rate increases and the deformation resistance increases accordingly, which brings great difficulties to cold rolling. During the production process, problems such as strip breakage, roll wrapping, and difficulty in plate shape control are very likely to occur, greatly reducing the yield rate of thin-gauge oriented silicon steel.

[0003] Patent CN113403463A discloses a method for improving the cold rolling processability of oriented silicon steel. The process route applicable to this method is: steelmaking - hot rolling - normalizing pickling - primary cold rolling - decarburization and nitriding - high temperature annealing - coating and stretching and leveling annealing. This method changes the pre-rolling structure by regulating the thickness of the hot rolling intermediate billet, the final rolling temperature and the coiling temperature, the normalizing cooling water volume and the control method, thereby improving the cold rolling yield. Patent CN114769336B discloses a rolling method for suppressing cold-rolled edge cracking of oriented silicon steel. This method preheats the steel coil in a water bath device, cold-rolls the 1.8-2.3mm normalized plate to the finished thickness, uses a low milk supply of 500-600L / min on both sides of the rolling mill for the 1st to 3rd passes, and uses a high milk supply of 1000-2000L / min from the 4th pass to the finished pass to improve the cold rolling efficiency and yield. The above method is mainly applicable to the production of oriented silicon steel by low-temperature heating of slabs and single cold rolling, and the minimum thickness of the finished product is only 0.23 mm. There are no reports on the production of thinner oriented silicon steel by medium-temperature heating and double cold rolling. Summary of the Invention

[0017] In some embodiments, the decarburization annealing temperature is 830° C.-880° C., and the holding time is 4 min-8 min.

[0030] Unless otherwise specified, this application adopts conventional test methods or test methods recommended by the instrument.

[0031] A method for preparing oriented steel

[0032] In one embodiment of the present application, a method for preparing grain-oriented steel is provided, comprising the following steps:

[0033] hot rolling the ingot to obtain a hot-rolled plate;

[0034] The hot-rolled plate is sequentially subjected to pickling, first cold rolling, decarburization annealing and second cold rolling;

[0035] The first cold rolling step includes rolling the hot-rolled plate at least three times, wherein the speed of the first rolling pass is ≤300m / min, the speed of each intermediate rolling pass is 600m / min-800m / min, and the speed of the last rolling pass is 650m / min-750m / min; the starting rolling temperature of the first cold rolling is ≥50°C; during the first cold rolling process, the reduction rates of the first rolling pass and the intermediate rolling pass are independently 31%-45%, and the reduction rate of the last rolling pass is 20%-30%.

[0036] In this preparation method, the hot-rolled sheet undergoes pickling, a first cold rolling, decarburization annealing, and a second cold rolling. Controlling the start rolling temperature to ≥50°C improves the material's plasticity and reduces the risk of brittle fracture. Combined with pass-by speed gradient control and reduction ratio control, the deformation process is optimized in stages, effectively reducing the incidence of edge cracking and strip breakage. Furthermore, the synergistic combination of decarburization annealing and secondary cold rolling further improves the cold rolling yield and surface quality, achieving efficient, low-defect cold rolling production.

[0037] As an example, the starting rolling temperature of the first cold rolling can be 50°C, 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C or other temperatures within the above ranges. Further, the starting rolling temperature of the first cold rolling is 50°C-60°C.

[0038] For example, during the first cold rolling process, the first-pass rolling speed can be 300 m / min, 250 m / min, 200 m / min, 150 m / min, or any other value within the aforementioned range. Furthermore, the first-pass rolling speed is 150 m / min-300 m / min. Rolling the first pass at a lower speed can reduce the occurrence of edge cracks and large edge waves on the steel plate.

[0039] As an example, the rolling speed of each intermediate pass can be 600m / min, 620m / min, 650m / min, 680m / min, 700m / min, 750m / min, 780m / min or 800m / min. Furthermore, the rolling speed of each intermediate pass can be any other value within the range formed by the above-mentioned arbitrary two point values ​​as end values. Controlling the rolling speed of each intermediate pass within the above-mentioned range can improve the stability of the rolling state and reduce the rolling time, so that the steel plate of the required thickness can be obtained in a shorter time. Furthermore, the above-mentioned intermediate pass rolling can be one pass rolling or two or more passes rolling.

[0040] As an example, the speed of the final rolling pass can be 650 m / min, 680 m / min, 700 m / min, 720 m / min, 740 m / min, or 750 m / min. Furthermore, during the first cold rolling process, the speed of the final rolling pass can be any other value within the range defined by any two of the aforementioned values. The final rolling pass in the cold rolling process is also the final rolling pass. The final rolling pass within the aforementioned range ensures a stable, controllable shape of the steel plate and smooth rolling.

[0041] As an example, during the first cold rolling process, the reduction ratios of the first and intermediate passes are independently 31%-45%. Wherein, reduction ratio = (thickness before rolling - thickness after rolling) / thickness before rolling × 100%. It is understood that the reduction ratio of the first rolling pass can be 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44% or 45%. Furthermore, it can also be any value within the range formed by any two of the above point values ​​as end values. Similarly, the reduction rate of the intermediate rolling pass can be 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44% or 45%. Furthermore, it can also be any value within the range formed by any two of the above point values ​​as end values.

[0042] Furthermore, during the first cold rolling process, the final rolling reduction can be 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, or 30%. Controlling the rolling reductions of each pass in the first cold rolling process within the aforementioned ranges can forcibly break up coarse grains, promote uniform distribution of inhibitors, and lay the foundation for the formation of a Gaussian texture during subsequent decarburization annealing. This also allows for efficient sheet thinning and reduces processing energy consumption.

[0043] In some embodiments, the first cold rolling step includes rolling the pickled hot-rolled plate through 3-4 passes.

[0044] In some embodiments, during each rolling pass of the first cold rolling process, an emulsion is introduced at a flow rate of 2000 L / min to 2500 L / min. Introducing the emulsion during rolling and controlling the emulsion flow rate can facilitate uniform thermal expansion of the rolls and control stress at the edges of the steel strip.

[0045] In some embodiments, the first cold rolling is performed in a cold rolling mill. The cold rolling mill includes support rolls, intermediate rolls, and work rolls. The work rolls are primarily used to control thickness and surface, while the intermediate rolls are primarily used to control plate shape.

[0046] In some embodiments, the work roll roughness is 2.0 μm to 3.0 μm. The roughness of the work roll affects the friction between the roll and the plate. An appropriate roughness balances rolling force and bite stability, preventing slippage. It also prevents temperature rise defects caused by excessive friction, which can lead to increased brittleness of the plate.

[0047] In some embodiments, the crown of the intermediate roll is 0.15mm-0.35mm. Controlling the crown of the intermediate roll serves two primary purposes: First, crown adjustment optimizes rolling force distribution, reduces localized stress concentration, and prevents edge cracking or strip breakage. Second, it compensates for lateral deformation differences in the sheet during rolling. Too little crown can result in thinning at the edges, while too much can result in excessive thickening in the center. Proper crown design can reduce "edge waves" and "center waves" defects, improving sheet flatness.

[0048] In some practical examples, the cold rolling mill is a twenty-high reversing cold rolling mill.

[0049] In some embodiments, the second cold rolling step includes rolling the steel coil after decarburization annealing treatment for at least three times, wherein the speed of the first rolling pass is ≤300m / min, the speed of each intermediate rolling pass is 600m / min-800m / min, and the speed of the last rolling pass is 650m / min-750m / min.

[0050] For example, during the second cold rolling process, the first-pass rolling speed can be 300 m / min, 250 m / min, 200 m / min, 150 m / min, or any other value within the aforementioned range. Furthermore, the first-pass rolling speed can be between 150 m / min and 300 m / min. Performing the first-pass rolling at a lower speed can further reduce the occurrence of edge cracks and large edge waves on the steel plate.

[0051] As an example, during the second cold rolling process, the rolling speed of each intermediate pass can be 600m / min, 620m / min, 650m / min, 680m / min, 700m / min, 750m / min, 780m / min or 800m / min. Furthermore, the rolling speed of each intermediate pass can be any other value within the range formed by the above-mentioned arbitrary two point values ​​as end values. Controlling the rolling speed of each intermediate pass within the above-mentioned range can improve the rolling state stability, and can also reduce the rolling time, so that the steel plate of the required thickness can be obtained in a shorter time. Furthermore, the above-mentioned intermediate pass rolling can be one pass rolling, or it can be two or more passes rolling.

[0052] As an example, during the second cold rolling process, the speed of the final rolling pass can be 650 m / min, 680 m / min, 700 m / min, 720 m / min, 740 m / min, or 750 m / min. Furthermore, during the second cold rolling process, the speed of the final rolling pass can be any other value within the range formed by the aforementioned two arbitrary point values ​​as end values. The final rolling pass in the cold rolling process is also the finished product rolling pass. The final rolling pass within the aforementioned range can ensure a stable, controllable shape of the steel plate and smooth rolling.

[0053] In some embodiments, during the second cold rolling process, the reduction rate of each rolling pass is 20%-35%. It is understood that the reduction rate of each rolling pass performed during the second cold rolling process can be 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 32%, 34% or 35%. Furthermore, it can also be any value within the range value formed by any two of the above point values ​​as end values. Controlling the reduction rate of each rolling pass during the second cold rolling process within the above range can protect the integrity of the texture formed after decarburization annealing, avoid brittle fracture, and accurately control the final thickness and surface quality. At the same time, edge cracking and band breakage are further suppressed, thereby improving the yield rate.

[0054] In some embodiments, during each rolling pass of the second cold rolling process, an emulsion is introduced, and the flow rate of the emulsion is 2000 L / min-2500 L / min.

[0055] In some embodiments, the decarburization annealing temperature is 830° C.-880° C. It is understood that the decarburization annealing temperature can be 830° C., 840° C., 850° C., 860° C., 870° C., or 880° C.; further, it can be any value within a range formed by any two of the above-mentioned points as end values.

[0056] In some embodiments, the holding time for decarburization annealing is 4-8 minutes. By reducing the carbon content in the steel, decarburization annealing effectively eliminates cold rolling work hardening, restores the material's plasticity, and completes primary recrystallization, significantly reducing the risk of edge cracking and strip breakage during subsequent cold rolling. It also optimizes the microstructure and texture, improving the magnetic properties of grain-oriented steel. Furthermore, annealing forms a well-defined oxide layer, laying the foundation for the formation of a superior base layer during subsequent high-temperature annealing, ultimately resulting in excellent finished product surface quality.

[0057] In some embodiments, the decarburization annealing process is performed in a mixed gas atmosphere of wet hydrogen and nitrogen.

[0058] In some embodiments, the hot rolling step includes heating the ingot to 1280°C-1350°C, holding the ingot at that temperature for 200-400 minutes, and then sequentially performing 3-5 rough rolling passes and 6-7 finish rolling passes. It is understood that the rough rolling and finish rolling in the hot rolling step are conventional rough rolling and conventional finish rolling steps used in the art.

[0059] In some embodiments, pickling is performed using concentrated hydrochloric acid at a concentration of 150-250 g / L at a temperature of 75-90° C. Pickling the hot-rolled plate before the first cold rolling step can remove impurities such as an oxide layer on the surface of the hot-rolled plate, which is more conducive to the subsequent first cold rolling process.

[0060] Furthermore, in order to improve the pickling efficiency and the pickling effect, the hot-rolled plate may be shot blasted before pickling.

[0062] C: 0.025%-0.045%, Si: 2.8%-3.5%, Als: 0.013%-0.025%, N: 0.007%-0.012%, Mn: 0.1%-0.3%, Cu: 0.4%-0.6%, S: 0.003%-0.010%, Sn: 0.01%-0.15%, Cr: 0.01%-0.20%, and the rest is Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0081] Comparative Example 2

[0082] The preparation method of Comparative Example 2 is basically the same as that of Example 1. The main difference is that the rolling conditions of each pass of the first cold rolling in Comparative Example 2 are different from those in Example 1. The specific rolling conditions are shown in Table 1.

[0085]

[0086] Note: The edge crack incidence rate in the table = the number of coils with edge cracks / the total number of coils rolled in a batch × 100%;

[0087] Cold rolling yield = weight of cold rolled finished product / weight of incoming material × 100%.

[0088] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, Example 1 uses the preparation method of the present application, controlling the start rolling temperature of the first cold rolling, and controlling the rolling rate and reduction ratio of each pass during the first cold rolling process, and then coordinating decarburization annealing and the second cold rolling process; its edge crack incidence rate is 8%, and the cold rolling yield rate is 93.2%. In contrast, in Comparative Example 1, when preparing medium-temperature grain-oriented steel, the first cold rolling process begins when the temperature of the hot-rolled plate after pickling is 10°C, and the rolling is carried out at a constant and relatively high rate during the first cold rolling process, and the reduction ratio of the first rolling pass is too high; its edge crack rate is as high as 29.5%, and the cold rolling yield rate is 84.3%. In Comparative Example 2, when preparing medium-temperature grain-oriented steel, the first cold rolling process has a relatively high rolling rate of 450 m / min in the first cold rolling process, and the rolling rate of the intermediate pass and the finished pass is controlled at 500 m / min. The results show that its edge crack incidence rate is 33%, and the cold rolling yield rate is 82%. It can be seen that the present application reduces the edge crack rate of steel during the cold rolling process and improves the cold rolling yield rate by controlling the starting rolling temperature of the first cold rolling and controlling the rolling rate of each pass during the first cold rolling process within a specific range, and then coordinating decarburization annealing and the second cold rolling treatment. It can also obtain thinner steel plates more quickly and reduce processing time costs.
