DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the embodiments of the present application. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only used to help understand the present application, and should not be regarded as a specific limitation on the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application. The process parameters not specified in the following embodiments are usually according to the conventional conditions.

[0017] The endpoints of the ranges and any values disclosed in the present application are not limited to the precise values stated. These ranges and values should be construed as having a range of values including the values that are approximately the same as the stated values. For ranges, the endpoints are included within the range unless otherwise indicated. For ranges of values, the endpoints of each range are included within the range, and the ranges of values are inclusive of the individual values.

[0018] In a first aspect, the present application provides a rolling method of non-quenched and tempered steel, the rolling method of non-quenched and tempered steel comprising the following steps: sequentially heating a billet, rolling the billet into a finished product, cooling the finished product after rolling, red-hot rolling state fast cooling, and slow cooling to obtain the non-quenched and tempered steel. In the post-rolling cooling step, the surface temperature of the steel material is cooled to 680-750°C (for example, it can be 680°C, 690°C, 700°C, 710°C, 720°C, 730°C, 740°C or 750°C); in the red-hot rolling state fast cooling step, the following steps are repeatedly performed multiple times until the surface temperature of the steel material after water outlet is not more than 100°C: after water cooling the steel material in the water tank for a first predetermined time t1, the steel material is taken out of the water and is warmed up in the air for a second predetermined time t2, and then the surface temperature of the steel material is tested.

[0019] Specifically, the water outlet warm-up is that the steel material is taken out of the water and is placed in the air to increase the surface temperature of the steel material, so that the surface and core temperatures of the steel material are consistent, that is, the steel material is taken out of the water, and is quickly red-hot in the air to increase the surface temperature of the steel material.

If the surface temperature of the steel material after the last water outlet in the red-hot rolling state fast cooling step is too high, the temperature of the steel material entering the pit for slow cooling will be too high, so that the elongation and area reduction of the prepared steel material are reduced, which cannot meet the standard requirements.
