Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of iron and steel metallurgy technology, specifically to a rolling method for B280VK automotive structural steel. Background Technology
[0002] B280VK is a cold-rolled high-strength steel widely used in automotive structural parts. Its surface quality and the stability of its mechanical properties directly affect the safety and forming quality of downstream automotive components. In actual production, B280VK steel suffers from prominent problems such as low tensile strength, unsuitable elongation, surface quality defects (e.g., rust, scratches, pits, surface blackening), and severe losses due to folding marks within the original coil. These issues have resulted in a product qualification rate consistently below 90%, seriously impacting production efficiency and customer satisfaction.
[0003] Analysis revealed that the cause involved multiple processes, including hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing, leveling, and chemical composition control. In existing technologies, the process parameters for each process are often set based on empirical values, lacking a systematic linkage optimization mechanism. Furthermore, the annealing process is severely affected by the furnace charge, and the heating rate is uncontrollable, resulting in large fluctuations in the cleanliness and mechanical properties of the strip steel. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rolling method for B280VK automotive structural steel, in order to solve the problem that the existing finished product qualification rate optimization methods in the production process of B280VK steel are based on empirical values and lack a systematic linkage optimization mechanism.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the basic solution provided by this invention is as follows: a rolling method for B280VK automotive structural steel, wherein the chemical composition of the automotive structural steel, by weight percentage, includes: C content 0.10%–0.14%, Mn content 1.10%–1.30%, Si content 0.18%–0.30%, Al content 0.2%–0.40%, P content ≤0.018%, S content ≤0.004%, and N content ≤0.006%; and further includes the following steps: S1. Hot rolling process: The temperature of the heating and soaking zone is 1150~1210℃, the total time in the furnace is ≥210min, the soaking zone time is ≥40min before steel can be tapped, the temperature difference between the head and tail of the slab is less than 20℃, the final rolling temperature is 870±15℃, the temperature of F1~F4 rolls is ≤75℃, the temperature of F5~F6 rolls is ≤60℃, the cooling mode is low-pressure intensive cooling, and the coiling temperature is controlled according to the thickness of the strip. S2, Cold rolling process: When the tensile strength of hot-rolled raw material is lower than 460MPa, increase the cold rolling reduction rate by 10-30% to increase the work hardening reserve, control the surface reflectivity of the plate to ≥60%, F1~F4 mills use large bending rolls, the bending roll force is controlled according to the strip thickness, and the intermediate roll is reduced by 40~50mm from the set value. S3. Annealing Process: A bell-type annealing process is used. At least six heating burners must be in operation. The annealing temperature is controlled at 600℃±10℃, held for 2 hours. After the material chamber temperature reaches 430℃, the heating rate is controlled at 30~40℃ / h. The heating time is controlled according to the strip thickness. After heating, the cooling hood must be replaced within 15 minutes. Two axial flow cooling fans provide a cooling airflow of 17000 m³ / h. 3 / h / unit, water cooling begins when the material chamber temperature reaches 380℃, and the cooling water consumption must be greater than 25m³. 3 / h, the furnace temperature is controlled at 100℃±5℃; S4. Leveling process: Production is carried out according to the elongation rate model, and the elongation rate is controlled according to the strip thickness. S5. Rewinding process: The tension leveler is controlled according to the elongation mode.
[0006] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: by narrowing the composition range of key elements such as C, Mn, and Si, the fundamental mechanical properties are guaranteed from the metallurgical source, fundamentally improving the problem of low tensile strength; by adding a 430℃ holding platform for 2 hours in the annealing process, the problem of uncontrollable heating rate caused by the furnace charge in the annealing process is solved, allowing the emulsion on the strip surface to fully evaporate, improving the cleanliness of the strip surface, and at the same time, the heating rate is stably controlled within 35℃ / h; in addition, through the linkage optimization of parameters of each process of hot rolling, cold rolling, annealing, and leveling, especially the dynamic adjustment of cold rolling reduction rate and leveling elongation rate, the qualification rate of B280VK steel grade is increased from less than 90% to more than 99.5%.
