Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of wear-resistant steel technology, specifically relating to an ultra-low temperature high-toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle and its green preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] The Arctic mining environment is extreme, with temperatures reaching below -50°C year-round. The complex terrain of the mining area requires large mining trucks to withstand high-intensity impacts, wear, and low-temperature brittleness challenges, placing stringent requirements on the use of Brinell hardness HBW450 grade wear-resistant steel plates for key components such as the truck bed floor and side guards.

[0003] Existing wear-resistant steel plates typically employ a long production process of "hot rolling + offline quenching + tempering," which suffers from complex procedures, long production cycles, high energy consumption, and large carbon emissions. In ultra-low temperature environments, steel plates produced using traditional processes are also prone to insufficient toughness and high crack sensitivity, leading to shortened equipment lifespan and increased maintenance costs.

[0004] Relevant literature and the latest publicly available patent novelty search results show that currently published patents related to HBW450-grade wear-resistant steel plates all focus on performance optimization in normal temperature or general low temperature environments (-20℃ to -30℃), without addressing toughness design for ultra-low temperature environments below -50℃; furthermore, the manufacturing processes mostly adopt traditional long processes, without mentioning green production solutions such as "short processes + waste heat utilization". Currently, there is a technological gap in the development of dedicated HBW450-grade wear-resistant steel plate technology that addresses both the dual needs of "ultra-low temperature mining in the Arctic Circle" and "short-process green manufacturing".

[0005] Therefore, developing a special HBW450-grade wear-resistant steel plate and its preparation technology that combines high performance and green manufacturing characteristics with "ultra-low temperature performance meeting standards and short-process green production" has become a dual requirement for Arctic mining development and the green transformation of the steel industry. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a special ultra-low temperature high-toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle and its green preparation method.

[0007] In a first aspect of the invention, the main chemical composition of the ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle is optimized and controlled by weight percentage as follows: C: 0.17~0.25%, Si: 0.15~0.40%, Mn: 0.90~1.50%, P≤0.012%, S≤0.002%, Al: 0.050~0.080%, Ni: 0.55~0.85%, Cr: 0.70~1.40%, Mo: 0.20~0.40%, Nb: 0.02~0.04%, B: 0.0008~0.0020%, Ca: 0.0010~0.0020%, H≤0.00020%, N≤0.0050%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities.

[0008] Furthermore, the carbon equivalent (CEV) of the aforementioned ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle is controlled to be CEV≤0.68%.

[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle has an impact energy of ≥47J at -60℃.

[0010] In a second aspect of the present invention, the green preparation method of the ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle includes the following steps: (1) Smelting: The main chemical composition of the molten steel prepared by smelting is optimized and controlled by weight percentage as follows: C: 0.17~0.25%, Si: 0.15~0.40%, Mn: 0.90~1.50%, P≤0.012%, S≤0.002%, Al: 0.050~0.080%, Ni: 0.55~0.85%, Cr: 0.70~1.40%, Mo: 0.20~0.40%, Nb: 0.02~0.04%, B: 0.0008~0.0020%, Ca: 0.0010~0.0020%, H≤0.00020%, N≤0.0050%, and the carbon equivalent CEV is controlled to be ≤0.68%, with the balance being Fe and unavoidable impurities; (2) Continuous casting: Fully protected casting, continuous casting slabs are slowly cooled for more than 48 hours after leaving the line; (3) Slab heating: The heating temperature is controlled at 1170~1230℃, the heating time is controlled at 8~10min / cm based on the slab thickness, and the heat soaking time is controlled at ≥40min; (4) Rolling: The slab is rolled into steel plate using a two-stage controlled rolling process with two stands. In the roughing stage, the slab is fully recrystallized and controlled rolling at a high penetration mode of ≥1050℃. The thickness of the intermediate slab is controlled to be 3.0~5.0 times the thickness of the finished steel plate. In the finishing stage, the starting rolling temperature is controlled to be 920~980℃ and non-recrystallization controlled rolling is carried out. (5) Online quenching after rolling + residual heat tempering: After the rolled steel plate is pre-straightened, it immediately enters the ultra-fast cooling system and is quenched and cooled online at a cooling rate of not less than 30℃ / s. After cooling to 280~220℃, the cooling is stopped and the residual heat of the steel plate is used for heat preservation. The heat preservation time is controlled to be 40~120min to obtain the target multiphase structure of tempered martensite + 2~5% retained austenite; (6) Mechanical stress relief: After the structural transformation is completed, a straightening machine is used to perform mechanical stress relief treatment to homogenize and reduce the residual stress inside the steel plate.

[0011] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned green preparation method of ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle, in the smelting step, the molten iron is pretreated before the converter smelting, and the S content in the molten iron is controlled to be ≤0.005% and the P content is controlled to be ≤0.120%.

[0012] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned green preparation method of ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle, in the continuous casting step, a light reduction process is used, with the light reduction amount controlled at 5~6mm and the billet speed controlled at 1.0~1.3m / min.

[0013] Furthermore, in the above-mentioned green preparation method of ultra-low temperature high toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle, in the rough rolling stage of the rolling step, the deformation rate of each pass is distributed according to the increasing distribution of each pass, and the deformation rate of the last 3 passes is controlled to be ≥15%; in the finish rolling stage of the rolling step, the deformation rate of each pass is distributed according to the decreasing distribution of each pass.

[0014] The ultra-low temperature high-toughness wear-resistant steel plate for large mining trucks in the Arctic Circle and its green preparation method of the present invention have the following advantages and beneficial effects: (1) Through the optimized control of chemical composition and the precise coordination of preparation process, an ideal multiphase structure of "tempered martensite + island-shaped retained austenite" was obtained, which significantly improved the impact energy of steel plate and ensured that steel plate has both ultra-low temperature high toughness (-60℃ impact energy ≥47J), stable HBW 450 level hardness and long-term wear resistance.

[0015] (2) The two key processes of "quenching" and "tempering" are combined into one, and the integrated ultra-short process of "online quenching + residual heat tempering" is adopted. This completely eliminates the traditional offline reheating quenching and tempering process, achieving the ultimate green manufacturing and realizing the goals of ultra-short process and extreme energy saving.

[0016] (3) After the "residual heat tempering" of heat treatment, the present invention introduces a mechanical method (rolling straightening) to eliminate stress.
