DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0013] In order to make the content of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below based on specific implementation methods.
[0014] The present application provides a method for rolling ultra-thick and wide offshore wind power steel, which specifically comprises the following steps: Step S101: heating the steel billet.
[0015] Specifically, TMCP rolling of S460ML utilizes ultra-low temperature heating, with a controlled exit temperature of 1020±10°C and a total furnace time of 13.0-17.0 min / cm. The combined heating time for the second and third heating stages exceeds 240 minutes, with a soaking time exceeding 1.4 min / cm. The third heating stage is first heated to 1040°C, and then cooled to 1030°C in the soaking stage. This improves low-temperature heating temperature uniformity, allowing alloying elements in the steel to fully dissolve, ensuring uniform composition and performance of the final product.
[0016] Step S102: descaling the heated steel billet.
[0017] Specifically, high-pressure water is used to descale the steel billet after it leaves the heating furnace.
[0018] Step S103: The steel billet is subjected to two-stage controlled rolling, wherein the reduction rate of each of the three passes after rough rolling is controlled to be greater than 6%, the torque of each of at least two passes after rough rolling is controlled to be greater than 8488 kNm, the thickness of the intermediate billet is controlled to be greater than or equal to 2.0 times the thickness of the finished product, the starting rolling temperature of the finishing rolling is controlled to be 720-760°C, and the final rolling temperature is controlled to be 730-770°C.
[0019] Specifically, in this rolling process, small-diameter rolls are used, the upper limit of the secondary model torque is increased, the maximum torque of the pressing procedure is arranged to be 2.0 times the rated torque, and the maximum updated torque of the rolling process is 2.1 times the rated torque.
[0020] In this embodiment, ultra-low temperature rolling (second stage rolling start temperature 745°C) is used, the reduction ratio of the billet to the finished product thickness is 4.18, the total number of rolling passes is 27, the roughing stage is 15 passes, the torque for more than three passes is arranged to be 7500-8400 kNm, and the torque for the last pass in the roughing stage is arranged to be 50000-70000 kNm; the finishing stage is 11 passes, the torque for the last pass is arranged to be no more than 50000 kNm, and the rolling force is arranged to be no more than 60000 kN.
[0021] It should be noted that a margin of 2 to 5 mm is reserved for the reduction of the widening pass and the roughing pass to meet the self-learning update of the secondary rolling model and the stability of the reduction schedule. The rolling reduction schedule is arranged as follows:
[0022] Step S104: performing ACC cooling treatment on the rolled piece.
[0023] Specifically, after finishing rolling, ACC accelerated cooling is performed, the cooling temperature is 300-340°C, and the cooling rate is 5.8°C / s.
[0024] The above method is used to ensure that the yield strength of 110*4193mm S460ML extra-thick wide offshore wind power steel is greater than or equal to 385MPa, the tensile strength is 490-660MPa, the elongation is ≥17%, the longitudinal impact energy at 1 / 4 and 1 / 2 of the thickness at -50℃ is ≥27J, and the transverse impact energy is ≥16J.
[0025] In addition to the above embodiments, the present invention may also have other implementation methods; any technical solutions formed by equivalent replacement or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope required by the present invention.
