Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of metal materials for food packaging, and particularly relates to an integrated method for preparing the body, lid and bottom of a food-grade tomato barrel from cold-rolled low-carbon steel. Background Technology

[0002] COFCO Group (Bayannur) has a unique tomato market, and various industries have emerged around tomato production. This invention discloses a method for preparing food-grade cold-rolled low-carbon steel for tomato barrels and its integrated barrel body, lid, and bottom. Tomato sauce is an acidic food, and the requirements for the deep-drawing formability, corrosion resistance, surface cleanliness, and food safety of the packaging steel are extremely high. Existing barrel-making steel generally suffers from the following problems: (1) large fluctuations in composition, making it easy to crack and wrinkle during stamping; (2) many surface defects, failing to meet food contact grade requirements; (3) poor matching of annealing processes, making it difficult to balance strength and elongation; (4) insufficient stability in batch stamping formability, resulting in a low barrel qualification rate. COFCO Group (Bayannur) has an annual demand of about 5,000 to 6,000 tons of tomato barrels, with a broad and stable market prospect. Baogang is located in Baotou City, 240 kilometers away from Bayannur, and has significant advantages in product delivery time, logistics transportation, technical services, and overall cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an integrated manufacturing method for the body, lid, and bottom of a food-grade tomato barrel made of cold-rolled low-carbon steel, achieving the following:

[0004] (1) Provide low-carbon cold-rolled base material specifically for tomato food buckets, with composition and performance highly compatible with stamping and food contact requirements.

[0005] (2) Establish a stable process for the entire process from smelting → hot rolling → cold rolling → annealing → leveling → barrel making, and achieve a 100% pass rate for barrel body, lid and bottom stamping.

[0006] (3) It meets the requirements of corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, odorlessness and surface cleanliness for long-term storage of acidic tomato sauce.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] This invention discloses a method for integrally manufacturing a food-grade tomato barrel using cold-rolled low-carbon steel for the barrel body, lid, and bottom, comprising:

[0009] (1) Smelting and continuous casting

[0010] Molten iron: Si 0.2~1.2%, Mn 0.30~1.00%, P≤0.140%, S≤0.070%;

[0011] Converter: final concentration C 0.04%, P≤0.015%, S≤0.030%, slag basicity 3.2~3.5, tapping temperature 1600~1640℃;

[0012] Refining: The temperature of the first furnace in the casting machine is 1592±3℃, and the temperature of subsequent furnaces is 1577±3℃. The superheat is 20~35℃. Low carbon protective slag is used, and long nozzle argon seal is used for casting protection.

[0013] (2) Hot rolling

[0014] Furnace exit temperature: 2.0~2.5mm thickness > 1120±20℃; 2.5~3.0mm thickness > 1100±20℃; 3.0~4.0mm thickness > 1080±20℃; 4.0~6.0mm thickness > 1070±20℃;

[0025] Elongation at break: ≤0.6mm: 0.7±0.1%; >0.6~0.9mm: 0.8±0.1%;

[0026] For leveling, apply 500-700 mg / m² of oil per side; for re-rolled surfaces, apply 300 mg / m² per side in the non-rainy season and 350 mg / m² per side in the rainy season.

[0032] Furthermore, the 0.6~0.9mm specification requires: heat preservation at 680℃ for 9~10 hours, followed by slow cooling for 2 hours.

[0033] Furthermore, the hydrogen flow rate is 26 m³ / h during the heating phase and 23 m³ / h during the continuous phase, with the flow rate not less than 90% of the set value.

[0034] Furthermore, the cold-rolled raw material is rolled from 3.0mm to 0.8mm, with S5 texturing roll Ra=3.5μm; the roll is then held at 680℃ for 10h, slowly cooled for 2h, and exited at 75℃; the leveling elongation is 0.8%, and the oil coating amount is 550mg / m².
