TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metallurgy, in particular to a Q345qF bridge plate in an extremely cold region and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the increasing application of high-strength bridge steel to national key projects, especially the increasing investment of the motherland in the construction of western regions, which belong to extremely cold regions, high altitudes and complex terrain remote areas, the steel for assembly design projects is complex and has high performance requirements, and large-thickness steel plates are needed to reduce the welding amount of butt welds and reduce construction difficulty. At the same time, the environment in such areas is complex, and the safety of bridge construction should be fully considered during design, so it is necessary to develop cold-resistant bridge plates with large width and high performance requirements to improve the fracture toughness, low-temperature toughness and seismic performance of the steel.

[0004] Therefore, it is an urgent technical problem for those skilled in the art to develop an extremely cold region Q345qF bridge plate and a production method thereof that can overcome the above defects. SUMMARY
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an extremely cold region Q345qF bridge plate and a preparation method thereof.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical scheme of the present application is as follows: An extremely cold region Q345qF bridge plate, the chemical composition and mass percentage of which are as follows: C: 0.07-0.11%, Mn: 1.00-1.60%, Cr: 0.01-0.20%, P≤0.010%, S≤0.005%, Nb: 0.005-0.015%, and the rest is Fe and unavoidable impurities.
[0007] The present application also provides a preparation method of an extremely cold region Q345qF bridge plate, which comprises the following steps in sequence: converter smelting, refining, continuous casting, casting blank heating, rolling and heat treatment. In the rolling process, the rough rolling temperature is controlled to be 900-980℃, the finish rolling temperature is controlled to be 800-850℃, and the water inlet temperature is controlled to be 700-730℃.
[0008] As a preferred scheme of the preparation method of the Q345qF bridge plate in the extremely cold region according to the application, the rolling process further comprises: controlling the red temperature of the steel plate to be 630-550 DEG C.
[0009] As a preferred scheme of the preparation method of the Q345qF bridge plate in the extremely cold region according to the application, in the heat treatment process, the tempering temperature is controlled to be 480-600 DEG C.
[0010] As a preferred scheme of the preparation method of the Q345qF bridge plate in the extremely cold region according to the application, the refining process comprises: LF+RH refining is adopted, and the content of gas H in the steel plate is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.2 ppm, and the content of N is controlled to be less than or equal to 25 ppm.
[0011] As a preferred scheme of the preparation method of the Q345qF bridge plate in the extremely cold region according to the application, the thickness of the prepared bridge plate is 10-60 mm.
[0012] As a preferred scheme of the preparation method of the Q345qF bridge plate in the extremely cold region according to the application, the yield strength of the prepared bridge plate is greater than or equal to 345 MPa, the tensile strength is 490-610 MPa, the elongation is greater than or equal to 23%, the conventional impact at-60 DEG C is greater than or equal to 250 J, and the yield strength ratio is less than or equal to 0.80.
[0013] As a preferred scheme of the preparation method of the Q345qF bridge plate in the extremely cold region according to the application, the aging impact performance of the prepared bridge plate at 5% deformation is greater than or equal to 200 J.
[0014] The application has the following beneficial effects: (1) The application adopts a composition design with low C content, and through the addition of Nb and Cr in a compound manner, a pearlite + ferrite multi-phase structure steel plate is obtained through a special rolling and controlled cooling mode, so that the strength, the extremely low yield strength ratio, the low temperature impact at-60 DEG C and the aging impact meet the requirements.
[0015] (2) The application adopts a low temperature austenitizing technology, reduces the original austenite grain size, ensures the stability of the low temperature impact toughness of the product, controls the second opening temperature, the finish rolling temperature and the relaxation technology, cooperates with the water cooling process, effectively reduces the yield strength of the product, ensures the stability of the tensile strength, and stabilizes the yield strength ratio of the product; the controlled cooling process is controlled to effectively refine the grain size, the second opening temperature and the water inlet temperature are controlled to ensure the organization transformation, a polygonal ferrite and pearlite multi-phase structure is obtained, and the strength and toughness of the steel plate are improved. Compared with the Q345qF steel plate produced by the current ordinary hot rolling, the yield strength ratio is high, the weldability is poor, and the impact toughness is small.
[0016] (3) The rolling process provided by the application is as follows: the rough rolling temperature is 900-980 DEG C, the finish rolling temperature is 800-850 DEG C, and the water entry temperature is 700-730 DEG C. This is to control the rolling of the continuous casting billet in the austenite recrystallization zone, the non-recrystallization zone and the deformation-induced phase transition zone, so that a batch of dislocations is formed in the steel plate and a large distortion energy is left, and the purpose of repeatedly refining the austenite grains is achieved. Therefore, in the subsequent controlled cooling process, fine ferrite and pearlite grains are generated, thereby ensuring the low yield ratio and low temperature impact toughness of the steel plate. At the same time, by controlling the water entry temperature and using the relaxation technology, the ferrite content is increased, and the yield ratio is more effectively reduced. The controlled cooling process of the application adopts rapid cooling ACC cooling, and the re-red temperature is 630-550 DEG C, so as to ensure the completion of the pearlite phase transition in the full thickness direction and improve the high strength and toughness of the steel plate. At the same time, the high re-red temperature can avoid the secondary buckling of the steel plate due to uneven cooling, ensure the flatness of the steel plate, and reduce the generation of waste plates.
[0017] (4) In the heat treatment process provided by the application, tempering is carried out at a temperature of 480-600 DEG C to eliminate the surface stress of the steel plate and improve the mechanical properties. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
