Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building structural materials technology, and in particular to a high-strength, deformation-resistant light steel keel and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] As the modern construction industry continues to demand higher requirements for lightweight structures, ease of construction, and overall seismic performance, light steel keel has been widely used in ceiling, partition, roof, and light steel housing systems due to its advantages such as light weight, easy installation, energy saving, and environmental protection. In order to adapt to the changing usage environment and long-term service conditions, light steel keel not only needs to have good formability and dimensional stability, but also needs to take into account high strength, corrosion resistance, and deformation resistance.

[0003] However, existing light steel keels mostly use ordinary carbon steel or low-alloy steel as the base material, which still faces problems such as insufficient strength, poor long-dimensional stability, easy deformation, and poor coating adhesion in practical applications. Especially in thin-gauge, long-span, or complex installation scenarios, structural safety hazards such as keel warping, loosening of connection points, or corrosion failure are prone to occur. At the same time, current manufacturing processes are mostly concentrated on conventional continuous rolling and simple cold bending forming, lacking a systematic coupling of microalloy precipitation strengthening mechanisms, pre-strain aging treatment, and interface synergistic coating technology, making it difficult to achieve a synergistic improvement in high strength and deformation resistance. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-strength, deformation-resistant light steel keel and its manufacturing method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a high-strength, deformation-resistant light steel keel and its preparation method.

S74: The coated keel is cut to length, straightened by pressure using a straightening machine to control straightness, inspected and packaged to obtain the finished high-strength, deformation-resistant light steel keel.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention, by introducing multiple microalloying elements such as Nb, V, and Ti into light steel materials and controlling their content and smelting and refining process parameters, effectively promotes the precipitation of dispersed reinforcing phases such as carbides and nitrides, significantly improving the strength and deformation resistance of the base material while maintaining good formability. Simultaneously, through precise control of key hot working parameters such as final rolling temperature and cooling rate during rolling, a stable multiphase microstructure is obtained, giving the material excellent mechanical properties and dimensional stability, providing a good microstructure foundation for subsequent precision cold bending forming.

Combined with hot-dip galvanizing of zinc-aluminum-magnesium alloy and chromium-free passivation sealing treatment, it can significantly enhance the service life and surface protection performance of the finished product in humid and corrosive environments.

[0034] Comparative Example 1 Raw material ratio: C 0.05%, Si 0.10%, Mn 0.50%, P ≤0.035%, S ≤0.035%, and balance Fe; The preparation steps are as follows: Step 1: Directly purchase conventional low-carbon steel continuous casting billets with a thickness of approximately 180mm, such as Q195 or Q235; heat them to 1150℃, hold them at that temperature for about 1 hour, and then perform 5 simplified hot rolling passes, with the final rolling temperature controlled within the range of 800-850℃, to form hot-rolled strip steel with a thickness of approximately 2.0mm. Step 2: After pickling, the hot-rolled strip steel is rolled down using a single-pass cold rolling mill with a total reduction rate controlled at 35% and a target thickness of 1.0 mm. Then, it is cold-bent at room temperature using 5-8 ordinary forming rolls to form a U-shaped or C-shaped keel with a fixed length of 3 meters. Step 3: Perform conventional hot-dip galvanizing on the formed keel. The galvanizing bath temperature is controlled at 450℃, and the immersion time is 3-5 seconds. The zinc layer weight per unit area is about 60-90g / m². Then, air-cool and solidify, and package directly for shipment.

[0035] Table 1 Comparison of Finished Product Performance Parameters Serial Number Performance indicators Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Comparative Example 1 1 Tensile strength Rm (MPa) 710 620 765 350 2 Yield strength Rp0.2 (MPa) 585 510 635 260 3 Elongation after fracture A (%) 15.8 14.2 13.5 8.5 4 Cross-sectional dimensional stability deviation (mm / m) ±0.8 ±1.2 ±0.7 ±2.5 5 Weight per unit area of ​​the finished coating (g / m²) 180 120 275 60 6 Corrosion resistance time in neutral salt spray test (h) ≥360 ≥240 ≥480 ≤96 As shown in Table 1 above, Example 1 achieves a stable match between tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation after fracture, ensuring load-bearing capacity while avoiding the plasticity reduction problem caused by high-strength solutions. Its overall mechanical properties are superior to Example 2, and its overall usability is better than Example 3. The cross-sectional dimensional stability deviation of Example 1 is controlled within ±0.8 mm / m, significantly better than Example 2 and Comparative Example 1, indicating that it effectively reduces deformation accumulation after cold bending through the coordinated control of hot rolling, cold rolling, cold bending, pre-straining, and aging. Although Example 3 has a higher coating weight and longer salt spray time, Example 1 achieves a corrosion resistance level of ≥360h under a coating condition of 180 g / m², achieving a better balance between protective performance and material and process costs. Comparative Example 1, due to the use of low-alloy or non-alloy steel and simplified rolling and forming processes, has significantly lower tensile strength, yield strength, and corrosion resistance, failing to meet the requirements of high-strength and deformation-resistant applications. In summary, Example 1 achieves the optimal configuration in terms of strength, plasticity, forming stability, and corrosion resistance, making it the best implementation of this invention.
