TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of steel production and relates to a method for producing weather-resistant structural steel Q550NH based on an ESP endless rolling production line. BACKGROUND
[0002] Q550NH belongs to high-strength weather-resistant structural steel and is widely used in railways, oceans, highway transportation and the like and is a kind of weather-resistant steel. The weather-resistant steel is a low-alloy high-strength steel formed by adding a small amount of Cu, P, Cr, Ni and the like to plain carbon steel, so that a dense and stable rust layer is formed when it is exposed to a natural atmospheric environment. The rust layer (referred to as a "protective rust layer") can effectively block oxygen and moisture from further corroding the base material, thereby significantly slowing down the corrosion speed and achieving the purpose of long-term weather resistance.
[0003] As a product with functionality, economy and a very wide application scenario, the weather-resistant steel will still develop in the direction of high strength, ultra-thin and "from hot to cold" in the future.
[0004] At present, the high-efficiency, energy-saving and green production line represented by ESP endless rolling production line is developing vigorously. The research on various process technologies and product development based on ESP production line has been a research hotspot. So far, the development and production research of weathering steel are more, but most of them are limited to traditional hot rolling and CSP production line, which has the problems of thicker product specification (2.0 mm) and higher energy consumption. However, the research on weathering steel produced by ESP production line is less. For example, the Chinese patent with publication number CN 116479309 A discloses a process for producing 400 MPa grade weathering steel based on electric furnace thin slab endless rolling. The process adopts Cu-P-Cr-Ni element design scheme, utilizes the characteristics of a certain content of Cu, Cr, Ni and other elements in the molten steel smelted by the electric furnace, can save part of the alloy addition amount, and can reduce the nitrogen content in the steel to below 0.005% through VOD vacuum degassing, so as to stably produce 400 MPa grade weathering steel with a thickness of 1.2-3.5 mm. However, the strength of the weathering steel prepared by the scheme needs to be further improved. The Chinese patent with publication number CN 106367686 A discloses a method for producing weathering steel based on ESP thin slab continuous casting and rolling process. The raw materials used in the method include, by mass percentage, 0.01-0.06% of C, 0.30-0.60% of Si, 0.30-0.60% of Mn, 0.05-0.12% of P, 0.25-0.45% of Cu, 0.30-0.80% of Cr, ≤0.30% of Ni, ≤0.01% of S, and the rest is iron element. The raw materials are sequentially subjected to converter smelting and LF furnace smelting. The molten steel formed from the LF furnace smelting is subjected to ESP production line to generate hot-rolled strip steel with different thicknesses. In the ESP production line, the molten steel formed from the LF furnace smelting is poured into a continuous casting machine at a casting speed not less than 4.5 m / min, and the temperature at the outlet of the finishing mill is not less than 820°C. The hot-rolled strip steel is subjected to laminar cooling to 500-600°C, and then is wound into a coil by a coiling machine and stored in a warehouse. The method solves the problems of thick weathering steel and high cost of weathering steel produced by traditional hot rolling and CSP represented thin slab continuous casting and rolling process. Similarly, the strength of the weathering steel prepared by the scheme needs to be further improved. The method does not optimize the plasticity and toughness of the material, that is, the 180° bending test is not performed, and it is not clear whether the steel has good formability.
[0005] In summary, although the ESP production line has unique advantages in producing ultra-thin and low-cost products, its application potential in the field of high-strength weathering structural steel (such as Q550NH) has not been fully explored. It is of great significance to obtain high-strength weathering structural steel with no cracks through 180° bending test on the basis of thinner thickness and lower cost. SUMMARY
[0006] The application provides a method for producing weather-resistant structural steel Q550NH based on an ESP endless rolling production line.
[0007] The technical scheme of the application is implemented as follows: The method for producing weather-resistant structural steel Q550NH based on an ESP endless rolling production line comprises smelting, continuous casting, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling and coiling. The smelting process forms molten steel, and the molten steel comprises, in percentage by mass, 0.025-0.045% of C, 0.10-0.20% of Si, 1.4-1.5% of Mn, ≤0.015% of P, ≤0.003% of S, 0.15-0.25% of Ni, 0.05-0.08% of Ti, 0.40-0.57% of Cr and 0.23-0.33% of Cu, and the rest is iron elements and inevitable impurities.
[0008] The percentage by mass of carbon is 0.025-0.045%, a low-carbon and low-phosphorus route is adopted, and the welding performance of the weather-resistant structural steel is considered to be relatively high, and a relatively high carbon is not conducive to subsequent processing and welding. The material strength is mainly improved by the solid solution strengthening of Mn and the fine-grain and precipitation strengthening of Ti; the proportion of Mn in the raw material is 1.4-1.5%, the solid solution strengthening of Mn can expand the gamma zone, reduce the gamma to alpha phase change temperature, refine the grain and be beneficial to the formation of the strengthened phase; the proportion of Ti in the raw material is 0.05-0.08%, the grain refinement, phase change behavior, the combination of Ti and C and N to form fine carbonitride can also delay recrystallization and prevent ferrite grain growth, thereby having strong fine-grain strengthening effect and strong precipitation strengthening effect.
[0009] The low-P+Cu-Ni-Cr composition system can significantly improve the atmospheric corrosion resistance of the steel material while ensuring the mechanical properties, ① the key of the low-P design is to avoid cold brittleness, and although P (0.07%-0.15%) in the traditional weather-resistant steel can improve the corrosion resistance, the low-P (≤0.015%) can reduce the grain boundary segregation and ensure the safety in extreme climate or environment, ② the welding property is improved, the low-P reduces the brittleness tendency of the welding heat-affected zone and reduces the crack risk.
[0010] Preferably, the finish rolling process comprises a five-stand finish rolling mill set, the upper and lower work rolls of the first and second stands adopt concave rolls with a concave degree of 0.30-0.35 mm, the upper and lower roll shapes of the third to fifth stands adopt tapered rolls with a concave degree of 0.25-0.35 mm and a taper height of 0.8-1.0 mm.
[0011] Preferably, the continuous casting process is cast into continuous casting slabs by a continuous casting machine, and the thickness of the continuous casting slabs is 95-125 mm.
[0012] Preferably, the slab temperature at the outlet of the continuous casting machine is ≥1030℃.
[0013] Preferably, the pulling speed of the continuous casting machine is not less than 4.1 m / min.
[0014] Preferably, the rough rolling process adopts a large reduction amount rolling mill to roll the continuous casting slabs into intermediate slabs, and the thickness of the intermediate slabs is 8-18 mm, then the intermediate slabs are heated by an induction heating furnace, the temperature of the induction heating furnace is 1130-1160℃, then the scale is removed to obtain the rough rolling strip.
[0015] Preferably, the scale removal process removes the scale by a pressure of 350-370 bar.
[0016] Preferably, the finish rolling process rolls the rough rolling strip into a finish rolling strip by finish rolling, and the finish rolling temperature is 810-850℃; the thickness of the finish rolling strip is 1.2-4.0 mm.
[0017] Preferably, the cooling process cools to a temperature of 640-660℃.
[0018] Preferably, the cooling process adopts a front-stage cooling mode, and the cooling speed is 25-50℃ / s.
[0019] The beneficial effects produced by the above technical scheme are as follows: 1. The method for producing weather-resistant structural steel Q550NH based on the ESP endless rolling production line provided by the application can produce 1.2-4.0 mm weather-resistant steel Q550NH through optimization of the composition of molten steel, further expands the product types of the ESP production line, solves the problems of high cost and thick specifications compared with traditional production lines, expands the product specification from 2.0 mm to 1.2 mm compared with traditional hot continuous rolling products, realizes the production of thinner specifications, and opens up the application scenarios in downstream fields; production verification shows that the ESP endless rolling technology can stably produce 550Mpa-grade weather-resistant structural steel with a yield strength of 562-613Mpa, a tensile strength of 652-707Mpa, and an elongation after fracture of 17.5-22%, and all of which pass the 180° bending test without cracks, which proves that the material has high strength and good formability, the product performance is stable, the size tolerance is small, the corrosion resistance meets the standard requirements, and further, through the synergistic optimization of the composition of molten steel, the roll shape and the reduction rate, remarkable effects are achieved in ensuring higher strength and better plate shape and size quality.
[0020] 2. In the finishing rolling process of this invention, the upper and lower work rolls of the first to second stands are concave rolls with a concavity of 0.30–0.35 mm, and the upper and lower work rolls of the third to fifth stands are tapered rolls with a concavity of 0.25–0.35 mm and a cone height of 0.8–1.0 mm. The middle part of the roll body is designed as a concave roll, and the ends are designed as tapered rolls, which effectively compensates for the thermal crown generated when the rolls are heated, improves the uniformity of roll wear, enhances the strip deviation control capability, and stably controls the strip crown. At the same time, it maintains the straightness of the strip as needed, thereby giving the finishing mill a larger range and capability for shape adjustment. This results in stable control of the strip crown C40 within 15–25 μm, and the wedge shape within ±10 μm, further reducing shape defects. The crown hit rate is increased from 92.3–93.0% to 97.6–98.5%, achieving stable rolling of thin specifications.

It makes full use of the heat stored inside the slab and directly rolls it into intermediate plates in a large reduction roughing mill, reducing the load on the roughing mill and further saving the energy consumption of the roughing mill. It achieves the goal of energy saving and consumption reduction by "replacing cold with heat", which can solve the problems of high cost and high energy consumption of traditional hot rolling production lines, realize the substitution of similar products, and has high social and economic benefits.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0027] It should be noted that ESP (Endless Strip Production) is a kind of thin slab continuous casting and rolling production line, which can realize production of a whole strip steel in one pouring, and there is no frequent strip threading, so it is a kind of full-continuous endless strip production line.
[0028] The present application is based on a method for producing weather-resistant structural steel Q550NH on an ESP endless rolling production line, which comprises smelting, continuous casting slab, rough rolling, finish rolling, cooling and coiling. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: A. Smelting: molten steel is formed by smelting, and the composition of the molten steel comprises, by mass percentage, 0.025-0.045% of C, 0.10-0.20% of Si, 1.4-1.5% of Mn, ≤0.015% of P, ≤0.003% of S, 0.15-0.25% of Ni, 0.05-0.08% of Ti, 0.40-0.57% of Cr, 0.23-0.33% of Cu, and the rest is iron elements and inevitable impurities; B. Continuous casting: the continuous casting slab is cast by a high-speed continuous casting machine, and the thickness of the continuous casting slab is 95-125 mm; the slab temperature at the outlet of the continuous casting machine is ≥1030℃, and the casting speed of the continuous casting machine is not less than 4.1 m / min; C. Rough rolling: then directly enter three large reduction ratio rolling mills for rough rolling, the large reduction ratio rolling mill is arranged in the rough rolling area, the cumulative reduction ratio of the three rough rolling mills is set to be 84-92%, so as to ensure that the austenite grains are elongated, crushed and rapidly nucleated, and the austenite structure is refined, the continuous casting slab is rolled into an intermediate plate in the large reduction ratio rolling mill, the thickness of the intermediate plate is 8-18 mm, a swing shear waste pushing rack is arranged after the large reduction ratio rolling mill, which is used for cutting off the intermediate plate when the intermediate plate is disconnected from the ingot rod and the subsequent equipment has a problem, then the intermediate plate is heated by an induction heating furnace, the temperature of the induction heating furnace is 1130-1160℃, after the surface scale is removed by high-pressure water descaling, the high-pressure water descaling is always maintained at a pressure of 350-370 bar for descaling, and the rough rolling strip steel is obtained; it should be noted that the ESP production line is rigidly connected with the continuous casting machine and the rolling mill, the production line fully utilizes the residual heat of the continuous casting slab for rough rolling, and a traditional gas heating furnace is omitted, so that the slab residual heat is fully utilized for rolling and the energy consumption of the rough rolling mill is saved; D, finish rolling: the strip steel after rough rolling is rolled by finish rolling mill to obtain finish rolling strip steel; the thickness of the finish rolling strip steel obtained by the finish rolling process is 1.2-4.0 mm, and the finish rolling temperature is 810-850 DEG C; the finish rolling process comprises a five-stand finish rolling mill unit, the upper and lower work rolls of the first and second stands adopt concave rolls with a concave degree of 0.30-0.35 mm, and the upper and lower roll shapes of the third to fifth stands adopt tapered rolls with a concave degree of 0.25-0.35 mm and a taper height of 0.8-1.0 mm; It should be noted that the middle part of the roll body is designed as a concave roll, and the end part is designed as a taper, the main advantage is to effectively compensate the thermal crown generated when the roll is heated, improve the uniformity of roll wear, improve the strip deviation control ability, and stably realize the control of the strip crown, while maintaining the flatness of the strip according to the needs, thereby giving the finish rolling mill a larger plate shape adjustment range and ability, thereby stably controlling the plate shape crown C40 to be 15-25 mu m, the wedge shape is stably controlled within ± 10 mu m, further reducing the plate shape defects, the crown hit rate is improved from 92.3-93.0% to 97.6-98.5%, and stable rolling of thin specifications is realized. It should be noted that in order to ensure the stability of the finish rolling process, reduce the vibration and steel stacking accidents caused by excessive individual reduction rate or excessive load, the maximum reduction rate of each stand is set, F1≤60%, F2≤45%, F3≤41%, F4≤35%, F5≤25%. In the present application, the composition design is the basis, and the low-carbon and low-phosphorus composition system fundamentally ensures the excellent welding performance and low-temperature toughness of the steel, reduces the risk of cracks caused by composition segregation, and lays a foundation for subsequent stable rolling and high yield. The front stand concave roll (concave degree 0.30-0.35 mm) resists the bending of the roll caused by the huge rolling force and ensures the stable shape of the strip, and the rear stand tapered roll (concave degree 0.25-0.35 mm, taper height 0.8-1.0 mm) provides dynamic plate shape control ability, combined with the decreasing reduction rate design of F1-F5 stands, to ensure the extreme stability of the rolling process. The combination of the three: this synergistic effect effectively eliminates production accidents such as steel stacking, rolling, and deviation, reduces unplanned downtime, and ensures the thickness and plate shape accuracy of the product in the full length range. The small reduction rate of the rear stand cooperates with the tapered roll (F5≤25%), avoiding the rolling vibration of the last stand and eliminating the periodic vibration marks on the surface. The excellent plate shape control ability of the tapered roll (stabilizing the plate shape crown C40 to 15-25 mu m) ensures the flatness of the strip, avoiding the secondary defects such as creases and indentations caused by undulations and warping in the cooling and coiling process. Through the synergy of composition-roll shape-reduction rate, the present application stably produces 1.2 mm ultra-thin specifications of Q550NH weathering steel with higher strength and better plate shape size quality, and the comprehensive economic benefits are significant.
[0029] E、When the strip steel is out of the last stand finishing mill at the required final rolling temperature, it is cooled to the coiling temperature of 640-660℃ by the laminar flow cooling front stage cooling mode, and finally coiled into a hot rolled coil by the underground coiler. It should be noted that the present application sets a lower coiling temperature of 640-660℃ and a faster cooling speed of 25-50℃ / s in combination with the low-carbon design of molten steel smelting. It should be noted that in combination with the laminar flow cooling model, a uniform and fine structure can be further obtained at a lower carbon content, thereby obtaining a strength standard that meets the national standard requirements.

It has been verified that the yield strength of the weather resistant steel produced by the present application is 562-613Mpa, the tensile strength is 652-707Mpa, the elongation is 17.5-22%, the bending test and the plate shape convexity can all meet the requirements, while the comparative examples cannot meet the product requirements due to the different components and roll shape parameters, resulting in the phenomenon of strength, elongation, and convexity. At the same time, after testing, the corrosion resistance of the weather resistant steel produced by the present application examples 1-8 meets the requirements of GB / T 4171-2008 "Weather Resistant Structural Steel" standard.
[0046] It should be noted that the yield strength, tensile strength, and elongation (elongation after fracture) in the present application are tested in accordance with GB / T 228.1-2021 "Metallic Materials Tensile Test Part 1: Room Temperature Test Method", and the 180° bending test is tested in accordance with GB / T 232-2010 "Metallic Materials Bending Test Method".
[0047] The convexity hit rate in the present application refers to the percentage of the number of points whose C40 value falls within the target tolerance range in the length direction of the strip steel among all convexity sampling points in the statistical period, and the calculation formula is: convexity hit rate = (number of hit points of full-length strip detection / number of points of full-length strip detection) x 100%, C40 represents the difference between the thickness at the middle of the strip width direction and the thickness at a distance of 40mm from the edge, for example, the convexity hit rate of example 1 is 98.4%, which means that in the entire rolling length of a roll of strip steel, 98.4% of the detected points have a plate shape convexity C40 value within the range of 15-25μm. Specifically, the sampling frequency is: longitudinally, sample once every 10m. Single point C40 calculation: for each group of cross-sectional data, C40 = h center −h 40 , where h center is the average thickness within the range of ±8mm from the center; h 40 is the average thickness at a distance of 40mm from the two edges.
