Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to a hot continuous rolling control method for enhancing fine-grain strengthening, and belongs to the technical field of rolling control methods. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the modern steel industry, hot continuous rolling technology is one of the key processes for producing high-quality steel. The performance of steel is largely dependent on its microstructure, and a suitable rolling process can control the recrystallization process of austenite, realize fine-grain strengthening, and significantly improve the comprehensive performance of steel such as strength and toughness, which has important application value in steel production. However, the traditional hot continuous rolling control method can realize the rolling production of steel to some extent, but it has obvious shortcomings in fine-grain strengthening. On the one hand, the adjustment of rolling thickness in the traditional method is often based on experience or fixed process parameters, and lacks the ability to flexibly adjust according to the actual temperature. This makes it difficult to fully utilize the rolling deformation to promote the crushing and recrystallization of austenite grains during the rolling process, and it is difficult to achieve effective grain refinement. On the other hand, due to the difference in chemical composition of different steel grades, the austenite unrecrystallization temperature is also different, especially for materials containing niobium (Nb), vanadium (V), titanium (Ti) and other micro-alloy elements. If effective rolling operation cannot be carried out in the appropriate temperature range, the austenite grains cannot be fully refined, thereby affecting the fine-grain strengthening effect. In addition, with the increasing demand for steel quality and performance in the market, the steel produced by the traditional hot continuous rolling control method gradually shows its limitations in meeting the needs of high-end application fields. For example, in the fields of automobile manufacturing, aerospace and other fields, higher requirements are put forward for the strength and toughness of steel. The performance of steel produced by the traditional method in these aspects is difficult to meet the ideal standard, and it is often solved by adding expensive alloy elements, causing unnecessary waste of resources.
