Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metallurgical sheet technology, and particularly relates to a method for producing galvanized steel strip with a yield strength of 340MPa and a tensile strength of 480MPa for building structures. Background Technology

[0002] In the current field of building structures, with the ever-increasing demands for building safety and durability, the demand for steel with high strength and good corrosion resistance is growing. Traditional steel strips used in construction often struggle to simultaneously meet high standards in both yield strength and tensile strength, and their corrosion resistance is insufficient, which limits their application in complex environments. Especially in coastal areas or humid environments, ordinary steel strips are prone to corrosion, leading to a decline in structural performance and affecting the overall safety and service life of buildings. Therefore, developing a galvanized steel strip that possesses both high yield strength and high tensile strength, along with good corrosion resistance, has become an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0003] Currently, the S350GD+Z galvanized structural steel (a process for producing S350GD+Z hot-dip galvanized products with a thickness of less than 2.0mm, application number 201911207362.7) produced by Rizhao Baohua New Materials Co., Ltd. has a composition design of C ≤ 0.045%, Mn: 0.05~0.11%, and a total elongation controlled at 7.8~8.5%, which is different from the composition design and process of this invention. The composition and process design of this product requires incomplete annealing to achieve the desired strength, which has an adverse effect on the elongation. The tensile strength of the product is ≥420MPa, which is different from the performance of this invention. The document "Trial Production of High-Strength Hot-Dip Galvanized Steel on Hot Rolling Production Line" published by Baogang Technology in December 2015, Vol. 41, No. 6, reports that the product composition design has C: 0.20~0.25%, Mn: 1.2~1.5%, which is different from the composition design of this invention. The higher C and Mn content affects the welding process and continuous production of thick-gauge products, which is not conducive to the mass production and application of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for producing galvanized steel strips with a yield strength of 340 MPa and a tensile strength of 480 MPa for building structures. The product of this invention possesses both high yield strength and high tensile strength, as well as good elongation and corrosion resistance, thus meeting the needs of users in building structure production.
