Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for producing 120-150mm ultra-thick flaw-detecting steel plates using a 360mm cross-section continuous casting machine without an electromagnetic stirring system. It belongs to the field of ultra-thick flaw-detecting steel manufacturing technology, and the ultra-thick flaw-detecting steel can be used in bridge steel plates, building steel plates and other fields. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, users have gradually increased their demand for ultra-thick (≥100mm) steel plates for flaw detection. These plates need to meet the requirements of structural strength, safety strength margin, and special functions under extreme working conditions (low temperature impact and fatigue resistance). The thickness requirement has reached up to 150mm to 180mm. Steel plates with a thickness of 120 to 150mm are already considered to be of a relatively conventional thickness. Therefore, the construction of slab casting machines by domestic steel companies is gradually transitioning to the construction of ultra-thick casting machines.
[0003] Currently, the thickest slab casting machine in China is 450-460mm thick, used for rolling steel plates with a thickness of 100mm or more that require flaw detection. The aforementioned casting machine uses a secondary cooling electromagnetic stirring system and a heavy pressure device at the end of solidification, and the flaw detection pass rate of ultra-thick steel plates can reach over 85%.
[0004] However, most steel companies in China still primarily use slab continuous casting machines with standard cross-sectional thicknesses. The mainstream slab continuous casting machines can produce slabs with three cross-sectional thicknesses: 250 / 300 / 360mm. Production and supply are guaranteed according to the principle of a compression ratio of ≥3:1 for the cast slab thickness / rolled thickness. Using a 360mm cross-section, including ensuring the steel plate passes flaw detection, is sufficient for producing steel plates with a specification of less than 100mm. A flaw detection pass rate of over 85% is not a major problem. However, under the current conditions, it is very difficult to ensure the second-level flaw detection pass rate for steel plates with a specification of 120-150mm, with a flaw detection pass rate of only about 20%.
[0005] Some companies also use slab continuous casting machines provided by Pratt & Co. (slab thickness specifications are 200 / 250 / 300mm). These continuous casting machines are equipped with a secondary cooling control system, which can also control the slab quality well. However, the thickness specifications are too small, and it is impossible to produce 120-150mm specification flaw-testing steel plates.
[0006] Therefore, how to produce 120-150mm diameter flaw-tested steel plates using existing 250 / 300 / 360mm cross-section slab continuous casting machines without electromagnetic stirring systems and solidification end-stage heavy pressure equipment, and achieve a flaw-testing pass rate of over 90%, has become an urgent problem to be solved in the industry, in the absence of a 450-460mm thick slab continuous casting machine. Summary of the Invention
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem that most domestic steel companies currently use slab continuous casting machines without electromagnetic stirring systems. When producing 120-150mm thick steel plates, the flaw detection pass rate is only about 20%, which seriously restricts the delivery of contracts. This invention provides a method for producing 120-150mm ultra-thick steel plates with flaw detection using a 360mm cross-section continuous casting machine without electromagnetic stirring systems. Using the method of this invention, the flaw detection pass rate of 120-150mm ultra-thick steel plates with flaw detection can reach over 90%.
[0008] The present invention discloses a method for producing ultra-thick steel plates with a cross-section of 120-150mm using a 360mm section continuous casting machine without an electromagnetic stirring system, comprising the following steps:
[0009] (1) The continuous casting speed is set to 0.6~0.62m / min, the surface theoretical straightening temperature of the secondary cooling water is reduced from 950℃ to 935℃, and the surface theoretical temperature of all parts from the bending section of the casting machine to the outlet of the straightening section is reduced by 15℃. The secondary cooling water volume is 0.52~0.58L / kg.
[0010] (2) The total reduction of the continuous casting machine was adjusted from 7.9 mm at the time of commissioning to 8.4 mm. The reduction in the light reduction mode was redistributed. During the solidification process of the billet in the continuous casting machine, the liquid core gradually decreased from 100% to 0% and the solid phase gradually increased from 0% to 100% within the billet. Within this liquid-solid mixing zone, the total light reduction was divided into 10 equal parts with a solid phase ratio from 0% to 100%. A reasonable reduction was set for each part. This was achieved through additional reduction during the liquid core solidification process. For pressure, the reduction amount as a percentage of the total reduction is adjusted from 10% to 20% when the solid fraction is 0-30%, from 50% to 61% when the solid fraction is 30-70%, and from 27% to 14% when the solid fraction is 70-90%. The center of gravity of the reduction amount under light pressure is shifted forward, so that the linear position of low magnification center segregation is dispersed into a point distribution of discontinuous individual segregation points, and the low magnification center segregation rating of the billet is controlled within C1.5.
[0011] Furthermore, in this invention, the billet slow cooling requires that after the billet leaves the stacking platform, it be slow cooled in the on-site slow cooling pit for more than 72 hours until the surface temperature of the billet is ≤200℃, and the billet is sent down after passing the inspection.
[0012] Furthermore, in this invention, the billet heating is as follows: the furnace outlet temperature is ≥1170℃, the furnace soaking time is 45~75min, and the total furnace time is 36*(5.5~10)min+soaking time.
[0013] Furthermore, in this invention, the rolling process is as follows: the roughing rolling start temperature is ≥1150℃, the number of roughing rolling passes with a reduction of ≥28mm is ≥4, a large reduction rolling process is used to fully refine the original austenite grains, the intermediate billet thickness is 160~180mm, the second-stage rolling start temperature is 840~850℃, after rolling, any possible internal pores are fully welded, the final rolling temperature is 800~830℃, and the billet is removed from the production line at a roll speed of 0.5~0.6m / min.
[0014] Furthermore, the steel plates in this invention are slow-cooled: the rolled steel plates are stacked and slow-cooled for ≥48 hours, protected from wind, neatly stacked, and the exposed head and / or tail ends are reduced. They can only be laid out for manual flaw detection after being stacked and cooled to below 50°C.
[0015] Furthermore, in the converter smelting of this invention: argon is blown throughout the smelting process, with an argon flow rate of 300–600 m³ / h. 3 / h, smelting until the mass percentage of P reaches the target value range for the corresponding steel grade.
[0016] Furthermore, in the LF refining process of this invention: when energizing the smelting process, bypassing is avoided to improve the smelting submerged arc effect, and the mass percentage of S is ≤0.003%.
[0017] Furthermore, in the RH vacuum refining of this invention: after the pressure of the vacuum furnace reaches the ultimate vacuum pressure, the vacuum circulation time is maintained for ≥15min, ≥300m of calcium iron wire is used per furnace, the soft blowing time is ≥8min, the Ca / S ratio is controlled between 0.6 and 3.0, and the mass percentage of H is controlled at ≤2ppm and the mass percentage of [O] is controlled at ≤30ppm during each batch of production.
[0018] Using the method of the present invention, the flaw detection steel plates that can be produced include, but are not limited to, the aforementioned steel types such as Q345qD, Q345R, Q355B, and Q420NCZ35.
[0019] The method of this invention reduces the low-magnification center segregation of the billet to below 1.5 by controlling the production process, especially by changing the continuous casting process parameters. At the same time, combined with smelting, rolling and slow cooling processes, it can obtain 120-150mm ultra-thick steel plates with qualified flaw detection. Detailed Implementation
[0020] To better explain the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The following embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical solution of the present invention and do not limit the present invention in any way.
[0021] A method for producing ultra-thick steel plates with flaw detection specifications of 120-150mm using a 360mm cross-section continuous casting machine without an electromagnetic stirring system, according to various embodiments of the present invention, includes the following steps:
[0022] (1) Converter smelting: Argon is blown throughout the smelting process, with a flow rate of 300-600 m³ / h. 3 / h, smelting until the mass percentage content of P reaches the target value range for the corresponding steel grade;
[0023] (2) LF refining: Avoid opening the bypass when energizing the smelting process to improve the submerged arc effect, and smelt to a S mass percentage content ≤0.003%;
[0024] (3) RH vacuum refining: After the pressure of the vacuum furnace reaches the ultimate vacuum pressure, the vacuum circulation time is maintained for ≥15min, ≥300m of calcium iron wire is used per furnace, the soft blowing time is ≥8min, the Ca / S ratio is controlled at 0.6~3.0, the mass percentage of H is controlled at ≤2ppm and the mass percentage of [O] is controlled at ≤30ppm during each batch of production;

[0027] ② The overall reduction of the continuous casting machine was adjusted from 7.9mm at the time of commissioning to 8.4mm. The reduction in the light reduction mode was redistributed. During the solidification process of the continuous casting billet, the liquid core gradually decreased from 100% to 0%, while the solid content gradually increased from 0% to 100%. Within this liquid-solid mixing zone, the total light reduction was divided into 10 equal parts, with solid fractions ranging from 0% to 100%. A reasonable reduction was set for each part. Through additional pressure during the liquid core solidification process, the reduction percentage of the total reduction was adjusted from 10% to 20% for 0-30% solid fraction, from 50% to 61% for 30-70% solid fraction, and from 27% to 14% for 70-90% solid fraction. This resulted in 360mm billets with a low magnification center segregation rating of C1.5 or lower. See Table 1 below for the correspondence between solid fraction and cumulative reduction.
