[0059] The test data of the Q355B steel hot-rolled plates prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 are recorded in the following table: By comparing and analyzing the data in the table, it can be seen that the Q355B hot-rolled steel plate prepared by the process in Examples 1-3 has more excellent performance compared to the Q355B hot-rolled steel plate prepared by the process in Comparative Examples 1-4. This shows that by constructing a synergistic system of multi-section variable temperature heating and intelligent temperature control, the temperature distribution in the furnace and the heating rate are monitored and dynamically adjusted in real time, ensuring that the core and surface temperatures of the slab are uniform and consistent, eliminating thermal stress and internal crack tendency during heating, and providing a high-temperature billet with uniform structure and stable performance for subsequent rolling; at the same time, the high-pressure water descaling system optimizes the jet parameters and introduces chemical additives to form a protective layer while removing the surface iron oxide scale, improving the cleanliness and quality of the slab surface, and avoiding product defects caused by incomplete descaling and surface damage. By setting the temperature window, deformation parameters and integrating micro-tension and thickness automatic control, the rough rolling and finishing rolling processes are carried out under the best thermodynamic conditions, ensuring sufficient deformation penetration and uniform grain refinement, and improving the mechanical properties and dimensional accuracy of the products; at the same time, the laminar cooling system adopts a multi-section partition design and a dynamic flow control strategy, which adjusts the cooling intensity based on the real-time state of the strip, controls the phase change process, eliminates the performance fluctuations and residual stress in the length direction, and ensures the high uniformity and stability of the product structure and performance. The process parameters from heating, descaling, rolling to cooling and coiling are systematically integrated and synergistically optimized based on the dynamic temperature control concept, forming a closed-loop feedback and accurate matching between each link, realizing real-time response and dynamic correction of the global process window; finally, through controllable coiling and slow cooling process, internal stress is eliminated and material structure is stabilized, comprehensively improving the consistency of product comprehensive performance, shape accuracy and stability.

[0060] By comparing and analyzing the relevant data in the table, it can be seen that the Q355B hot-rolled steel plate prepared by the optimized process has higher strength, better toughness and elongation, and improved surface quality, which shows that the Q355B steel hot-rolling process optimization method based on dynamic temperature control provided by the present application can improve the comprehensive performance of the product, has a wider market prospect, and is more suitable for promotion.
