Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of stainless steel forming technology, and in particular relates to a solution for cracking during the forming of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plates. Background Technology

[0002] High-chromium ferritic stainless steel (typical grades include, but are not limited to, SUS443 and SUS445J2) is widely used in harsh outdoor environments such as building roofs and curtain wall systems due to its excellent corrosion resistance, high-temperature oxidation resistance, and cost advantage (compared to austenitic stainless steel 304 and 316). The typical processing technology for its roof panels involves multi-pass continuous roll forming to the target sheet shape. The commonly used sheet shape is YX50-410-820 (referred to as the 820 sheet shape), which has high structural strength and excellent waterproofing and aesthetics.

[0003] However, high-chromium ferritic stainless steel has defects such as low room temperature plasticity and obvious work hardening tendency due to its high chromium content of 20~30wt%. During continuous roll forming, stress concentration is likely to occur at the point of maximum bending deformation of the sheet. Especially in the processing of sheet with a thickness of ≥0.5mm, the crack incidence rate can reach 30%, which seriously restricts the yield and engineering reliability.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an efficient and low-cost composite process to solve the problem of cracking during the forming of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plates by synergistically controlling forming parameters and protective measures, while taking into account both production efficiency and surface quality.

[0013] The solution to the cracking problem in the forming of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plates uses a high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plate forming equipment system, including forming unit, gap adjustment mechanism, lubrication spraying device or film application device.

[0014] Furthermore, the solution to the cracking problem during the forming of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 sheets is applied in the industrial production of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 corrugated sheets for building roofing.

[0018] The present invention provides a solution to the forming cracking problem of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plates, wherein the high-chromium ferritic stainless steel has a chromium content of 20-30 wt%, and the method includes the following steps: Forming roller gap control: Adjust the forming roller gap to 1.3 to 1.6 times the thickness of the sheet material to be processed to compensate for the elastic recovery caused by the work hardening of high chromium ferritic stainless steel, and reduce local deformation stress and crack initiation; For high-chromium ferritic stainless steel sheets with a thickness of 0.5mm to 1.0mm, the forming roller gap is adjusted to 1.4 to 1.6 times the sheet thickness; for high-chromium ferritic stainless steel sheets with a thickness greater than 1.0mm, the forming roller gap is adjusted to 1.3 to 1.5 times the sheet thickness. The gap adjustment is achieved manually, and a feeler gauge with an accuracy of ±0.01 mm is used for measurement to ensure that the consistency deviation of the roller gap in each pass is ≤0.02 mm. Lubrication protection or film protection: When applying a lubricant to the sheet and forming rollers for lubrication protection during the forming process, the lubricant is a water-based emulsion with a water-to-oil mass ratio of 95:5 to 90:10. The oil can be at least one of mineral oil, synthetic ester, or vegetable oil, and an extreme pressure additive of 0.1% to 0.5% by mass is added. The extreme pressure additive is a thiophosphate ester to enhance lubrication performance. The lubricant is applied by spraying at a pressure of 0.2-0.5 MPa and a flow rate of 10-20 L / min. In the forming unit, a spraying point is set every 4-6 forming rollers. When a polymer protective film is applied to the surface of the sheet during the molding process, the polymer protective film is made of polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene or polypropylene, with a thickness of 50~80μm, and the tensile strength of the polymer protective film is ≥20MPa and the elongation is ≥200%. When applying the polymer protective film, the stress of the pressure roller is 8~10kN, and the film application speed is synchronized with the molding line speed. Forming: Control the forming system's forming line speed to ≤30m / min, and perform continuous roll forming of 820 plate shape to extend the deformation coordination time of the plate, reduce dynamic stress impact, and avoid crack propagation caused by excessive strain rate.

[0019] Furthermore, the high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plate forming equipment system used in the solution to the forming crack of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 plate includes forming unit, gap adjustment mechanism, lubrication spraying device or film application device. The gap adjustment mechanism is used to adjust the gap between the forming rollers to 1.3 to 1.6 times the thickness of the sheet material to be processed; The lubrication spraying device includes a liquid storage tank, a pressure pump, and spray nozzles. The spray nozzles are spaced apart between the forming rollers of the forming unit, and the spraying pressure of the spray nozzles is adjustable in the range of 0.2~0.5MPa.

[0020] Furthermore, the solution to the cracking problem during the forming of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 sheets is applied in the industrial production of high-chromium ferritic stainless steel 820 corrugated sheets for building roofing.

[0021] Example 1 Using 0.6mm thick SUS443 stainless steel strip as the base material, its chemical composition by weight percentage is C: 0.011%, Cr: 20.65%, Cu: 0.33%, V: 0.15%, Ti: 0.23%. The following steps are used to process the 820 plate type: Forming roller gap control: Based on the plate thickness of 0.6mm, the gap between the 18 forming rollers is adjusted to 0.85~0.90mm (1.42-1.5 times the plate thickness). A feeler gauge with an accuracy of ±0.01mm is used to measure to ensure that the roller gap deviation of each pass is ≤0.02mm. Lubrication and protection: A water-based emulsion lubricant is prepared with a water to mineral oil mass ratio of 92:8, and 0.3wt% of thiophosphate extreme pressure additive is added. The lubricant temperature is controlled at 23℃. Lubrication spraying points are set every 4 rollers in the molding unit, with a spraying pressure of 0.4MPa and a flow rate of 15L / min. Molding: The molding system is controlled to have a molding line speed of 30m / min for continuous roll forming.

[0022] Processing six rolls using this process, each weighing 6-7 tons, revealed the following: the crack incidence rate of the sheet material was 0.9%, and the surface roughness Ra value of the surface in contact with the forming roller was 0.385μm. Example 2 Using 0.6mm thick SUS443 stainless steel strip as the base material, its chemical composition by weight percentage is C: 0.011%, Cr: 20.65%, Cu: 0.33%, V: 0.15%, Ti: 0.23%. The following steps are used to process the 820 plate type: Forming roller gap control: Based on the plate thickness of 0.6mm, the gap between the 18 forming rollers is adjusted to 0.85~0.90mm (1.42-1.5 times the plate thickness). A feeler gauge with an accuracy of ±0.01mm is used to measure to ensure that the roller gap deviation of each pass is ≤0.02mm. Film protection: A 60μm thick polyvinyl chloride protective film with a tensile strength of 22 MPa and an elongation of 210% is selected; a film application device is set at the feeding end of the forming unit, the pressure roller stress is adjusted to 9kN, and the film application speed is synchronized with the forming line speed. Molding: The molding system is controlled to have a molding line speed of 30m / min for continuous roll forming.

[0023] Processing 6 rolls using this process, each roll weighing 6-7 tons, the test results showed that the crack incidence rate of the sheet was 1.0%, and the surface roughness Ra value of the surface in contact with the forming roller was 0.376μm.

[0024] Comparative Example SUS443 stainless steel strips of the same specifications were processed using traditional methods. The forming roller gap was 1.1 times the plate thickness, with no lubrication or protective coating, and the forming line speed was 35 m / min. Testing revealed that the plate cracking rate was 30%, the surface roughness Ra value was 0.818 μm, and the machine repeatedly had to be shut down for mold repairs due to cracks, resulting in low production efficiency.
