Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of structural steel, and particularly relates to a production method of Q355NE steel plate. BACKGROUND

[0002] Q355NE is a yield strength 355MPa grade low alloy high strength structural steel produced by normalizing rolling method, and is widely applied in engineering machinery, wind power and other fields. The national standard of Q355NE steel plate requires that the impact energy at-40 DEG C is not less than 34J, the steel plate has high strength, and also needs good low temperature impact toughness. Since the steel plate produced by normalizing rolling has better uniformity of microstructure and performance than other methods, the finish rolling temperature is usually higher than that of other controlled rolling methods, and the steel plate is not rapidly cooled after rolling, so it is difficult to obtain good toughness.

[0003] The patent with publication number CN 102312156 A "60mm or less low alloy Q345E+B steel plate and production method thereof" provides a production method of Q345E steel plate with thickness of 60mm or less. The steel plate produced by the method meets the strength requirement, and has good toughness. However, the method needs the steel plate to enter the holding box after rolling, and it is difficult to mass produce.

[0004] The patent with publication number CN 106521333 A "Large thickness and super wide Q345E-Z35 steel plate and production method thereof" provides a production method of Q345E thick steel plate. The steel plate produced by the method meets the strength requirement, and has good toughness. However, the method needs to add Nb, V and other micro alloys, and the alloy cost is high. Meanwhile, the steel plate needs to be heat treated after rolling, and the process is more and the manufacturing cost is higher.

[0005] The patent with publication number CN 107739992 A "Normalizing type yield 345MPa grade weathering steel plate and production method thereof" provides a production method of steel plate with yield strength of 345MPa. The steel plate produced by the method meets the strength requirement, and has good toughness. However, the method needs to add Nb, Cu, Cr and other alloys, and the alloy cost is high. The steel plate needs to be normalized after rolling, and the process cost is high. SUMMARY
