Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alloy steel technology, and more specifically, to a preparation process for low-temperature corrosion-resistant steel. Background Technology

[0002] When steel is used in environments with low temperatures, large temperature fluctuations, and complex corrosive media, more stringent requirements are placed on the comprehensive performance of the steel.

[0003] Extensive research has been conducted on low-temperature steels, but achieving a balance between low temperature and corrosion resistance remains challenging. During the billet rolling stage, a thick oxide scale (≥15μm) easily forms on the steel plate surface. This scale has poor adhesion to the steel matrix, a loose structure, and is prone to detachment. Subsequent pickling processes fail to completely remove this thick oxide scale, leaving residues on the steel plate surface. These residual oxide scales become corrosion initiation points during subsequent service, accelerating steel corrosion failure. Conventional rolling lubrication technologies cannot balance rolling efficiency with oxide scale control, making them unsuitable for the large-scale, high-quality production requirements of high-performance low-temperature steels. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention proposes a preparation process for low-temperature corrosion-resistant steel, which solves the problem of insufficient corrosion resistance of low-temperature steel in related technologies.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: This invention proposes a preparation process for low-temperature corrosion-resistant steel, comprising the following steps: smelting, continuous casting, heating, and hot rolling; The hot rolling includes roughing and finishing rolling; Water-based nano-lubricant is required during the roughing and finishing rolling processes. The water-based nano-lubricant is composed of the following components by weight percentage: 0.7%~1.6% filler, 3%~4.8% additives, and the balance being water; The filler includes nano-alumina; The nano-alumina includes nano-alumina particles and flake-shaped nano-alumina with a mass ratio of 3~4:1.

[0006] As a further technical solution, the additives include the following components in weight percentage: 1.4%~2.0% anionic dispersant, 0.6%~0.8% wetting agent, and 1%~2% polyethylene glycol.

[0007] As a further technical solution, the filler also includes nano-titanium dioxide.

[0008] As a further technical solution, the mass ratio of the nano-alumina to the nano-titanium dioxide is 1.5:0.8~1.

[0009] As a further technical solution, the particle size of the sheet-like nano-alumina is 3nm; The particle size of the nano-alumina particles is 20~30nm; The particle size of the nano-titanium dioxide is 10~15nm.

[0010] In the water-based nano-lubricant of this invention, 3nm-diameter flake-shaped nano-alumina can be more tightly arranged on the surface of the roll and the billet, forming a denser lubricating film and reducing the coefficient of friction. The larger-diameter nano-alumina particles can withstand a certain pressure under the rolling force to avoid breakage and ensure the continuity of rolling friction reduction. The 10-15nm-diameter nano-titanium dioxide fills the gaps between the nano-alumina particles, enhancing the overall stability and uniformity of the lubricating film, reducing the contact between the billet and oxygen, and preventing the formation of oxide scale, thereby giving the final steel plate excellent corrosion resistance.

[0011] As a further technical solution, the hot rolling also includes descaling, cooling, and coiling.

[0012] As a further technical solution, the casting temperature during the continuous casting process is 1450~1550℃, and the casting speed is 0.9~1.2m / min.

[0013] As a further technical solution, the heating temperature is 1150~1250℃, and the time is 2~4h.

[0014] As a further technical solution, the initial rolling temperature of the roughing mill is 1120~1150℃, the final rolling temperature is 1050~1080℃, the roughing mill is rolled in 3~5 passes, and the cumulative reduction rate is ≥50%.

[0015] As a further technical solution, the initial rolling temperature of the finishing mill is 950~1000℃, the final rolling temperature is 800~820℃, the finishing mill is rolled in 4~6 passes, and the cumulative reduction rate is ≥60%.

[0016] As a further technical solution, the anionic dispersant includes one of sodium polyacrylate and ammonium polyacrylate.

[0017] As a further technical solution, the wetting agent includes sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate.

[0018] As a further technical solution, the descaling pressure is 20~25MPa.

[0019] As a further technical solution, during the cooling process, the temperature of the laminar water is 25~30℃, and the cooling rate is 15~25℃ / s.

[0020] As a further technical solution, the winding temperature is 550~650℃.

[0021] As a further technical solution, the preparation method of the water-based nano-lubricant includes the following steps: Polyethylene glycol is added to water and mixed, and then anionic dispersant, wetting agent and filler are added in sequence and mixed evenly to obtain water-based nano lubricant.

[0022] The present invention also proposes a low-temperature corrosion-resistant steel, which is prepared by the aforementioned preparation process; The low-temperature corrosion-resistant steel is composed of the following components by mass percentage: C 0.04%~0.08%, Si 0.5%~0.8%, Mn 1.5%~2.0%, P ≤0.008%, S 0.005%~0.008%, Ni 0.1%~0.3%, Cr 0.3%~0.8%, Nb 0.06%~0.12%, Cu 0.2%~0.5%, with the balance being Fe and other unavoidable impurities.

[0023] The working principle and beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: In this invention, nano-alumina particles and flake-shaped nano-alumina are used in combination as fillers in a water-based nano-lubricant. The nano-alumina particles roll like ball bearings during rolling, effectively reducing sliding friction and lowering the rolling friction coefficient. The flake-shaped nano-alumina forms relative sliding parallel to the rolls and the steel billet, further reducing the friction coefficient and ultimately significantly improving the corrosion resistance of the steel. Furthermore, both are alumina with consistent density and surface properties, making them more stable within the same system. Detailed Implementation
