Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of a method for manufacturing a wire rod, and specifically relates to a wire rod for a precision steel cord, a steel wire, a cord, and a method for manufacturing the same.
Background Art
[0002] Coded steel wire rods are used in the production and manufacturing of tire steel cords. During the use process of the wire rod by users, processing such as tension and twisting of the wire rod is required, so the requirements for the processing performance of the wire rod by users are strict. The tissue hardness distribution of the wire rod is an important index that affects the processing performance of the wire rod. The tissue hardness of the wire rod is a comprehensive reflection of the chemical composition and tissue state, and the change in the tissue hardness across the cross-section of the wire rod directly reflects the uniform deformation ability across the cross-section of the wire rod. Since the hardness distribution across the cross-section of the wire rod is uniform, it is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the tissue hardness across the cross-section of the steel wire, and further, to improve the twisting performance of the steel wire and provide conditions for manufacturing precision steel cords with complex configurations.
[0003] In the invention of Patent Document 1 (Chinese Patent Application No. 201910638740.0), an ultra-fine ultra-high strength steel wire, a wire rod for the ultra-fine ultra-high strength steel wire, and a method for manufacturing the same are disclosed. The wire rod for the ultra-fine ultra-high strength steel wire has a chemical composition in mass%, C: 0.90% - 0.96%, Si: 0.12% - 0.30%, Mn: 0.30% - 0.65%, Cr: 0.10% - 0.30%, Al: ≤0.004%, Ti: ≤0.001%, Cu: ≤0.01%, Ni: ≤0.01%, S: ≤0.01%, P: ≤0.01%, O: ≤0.0006%, N: ≤0.0006%, and the balance consists of Fe and inevitable impurity elements. Among them, the inclusion size is ≤4 μm, and the average density of brittle inclusions is ≤2 pieces / mm 2It is so. The wire rod for the ultra-fine high-strength steel wire is used as a base material for manufacturing an ultra-fine high-strength steel wire with a diameter of 50 μm to 60 μm and a tensile strength of ≧ 4500 MPa. During the tensile manufacturing process of the ultra-fine high-strength steel wire, a length of ≧ 300 km of the non-damaged steel wire can be achieved. Its manufacturing method includes vacuum induction melting, remelting, forging, and rolling. The above wire rod is suitable for the manufacture of ultra-fine steel wires, but does not mention the twisting performance of the steel wires, the hardness distribution of the cross-section of the wire rod and the steel wire.
[0004] In order to meet the user's requirements for the processing performance of the wire rod for precision steel cords, especially the requirements for the twisting performance of the steel wires manufactured from the wire rod, it is necessary to develop a high-quality wire rod for precision steel cords with a uniform hardness distribution across the cross-section of the wire rod and a uniform hardness distribution across the cross-section of the steel wires manufactured from the wire rod, which is helpful for improving the twisting performance of the steel wires.

Summary of the Invention
Problems to be Solved by the Invention
[0006] The present invention is made in view of the above technical problems, and provides a wire rod for precision steel cords, steel wires, cords and their manufacturing methods. The present invention makes the hardness distribution across the cross-section of the wire rod and the steel wire uniform through the design of chemical components and manufacturing processes, and meets the user's requirements for the twisting performance during the processing from the wire rod to the precision steel cord.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0007] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical means.
[0008] The wire rod for precision steel cord according to one embodiment of the present invention has chemical components by mass percentage: C: 0.79% to 0.84%, Si: 0.15% to 0.30%, Mn: 0.45% to 0.55%, P ≤ 0.015%, S: 0.0030% to 0.010%, total oxygen: 0.0008% to 0.0022%, Als: 0.0002% to 0.0012%, Mg: 0.0002% to 0.0012%, Nb: 0.0003% to 0.0009%, Mo: 0.0003% to 0.0012%, and the balance is Fe and inevitable impurities.
[0009] Furthermore, in the above technical means, the content of ferrite Si in the pearlite structure of the wire rod is 0.15% to 0.45%.
[0010] The reasons for the selection and design of the content of each chemical component of the present invention are as follows.
[0011] C: Carbon, as the main element for controlling the strength of the steel wire, if the carbon content is too low, the user's requirements for the strength of the steel wire cannot be met, and if the carbon content is too high, the strength of the steel wire will exceed the user's requirements. Also, a high carbon content increases the breakage rate and defective rate of the steel wire during the drawing process. Therefore, in the present invention, the carbon content is suppressed to 0.79% to 0.84%.
[0012] Si: Silicon element, as the main deoxidizing element of high-carbon steel, if the content of silicon element is too low, the deoxidation of molten steel will be insufficient, and if the content of silicon element is too high, coarse silicate inclusions will occur in the steel, reducing the tensile performance of the steel wire. The silicon element is dissolved in ferrite to increase the hardness of ferrite, reduce the hardness difference between ferrite and cementite, and improve the hardness uniformity of the steel wire structure. Therefore, in the present invention, the content of silicon element is suppressed to 0.15% to 0.30%.
[0013] Mn: As an element for increasing the strength of the wire rod, the manganese element can meet the user's requirements for the tensile strength of the steel wire. The manganese element lowers the eutectic transformation temperature of the steel, refines the pearlite structure of the steel wire, and plays a role in enhancing the deep processing ability of the steel wire. Therefore, in the present invention, the content of the manganese element is suppressed to 0.45% - 0.55%.
[0014] P: Phosphorus is likely to cause banded segregation in the wire rod and reduces the machining ability of the steel wire. Therefore, in the present invention, the content of the phosphorus element is suppressed to ≤0.015%.
[0015] S: If the sulfur element content in the steel is too high, it reduces the cold working performance of the steel wire. Since MnS inclusions have good deformation ability, an appropriate amount of sulfur element in the steel plays a role in reducing the risk of non-deformable inclusions in the steel and can prevent the occurrence of fine cracks caused by the inclusions. Therefore, in the present invention, the sulfur element content is suppressed to 0.0030% - 0.010%.
[0016] Total oxygen: If the oxygen content is too high, the size of the inclusions in the steel is large and the quantity is large, so fine cracks are likely to occur during the machining process of the steel wire, causing cracking of the steel wire. If the oxygen content is too low, the deformation ability of the inclusions in the steel wire is poor, and fine cracks are likely to occur between the inclusions and the steel wire matrix, which is disadvantageous for improving the machining performance of the steel wire. Therefore, in the present invention, the total oxygen content of the steel wire is suppressed to 0.0008% - 0.0022%.
[0017] Als: If the acid-soluble aluminum content is too high, the size of the Al2O3 inclusions in the steel becomes large, and it is easy to cause cracking of the steel wire during the processing. If the acid-soluble aluminum content of the wire rod is too low, the melting point of the inclusions in the steel is high, the deformation ability of the inclusions decreases, the local stress of the steel wire during the processing increases, and fine cracks are likely to occur in the steel wire, causing cracking and fracture of the steel wire. Therefore, in the present invention, the acid-soluble aluminum content is suppressed to 0.0002% - 0.0012%.
[0018] Mg: The magnesium element controls the oxygen content in the steel and also controls the type of inclusions in the steel. If the magnesium content is too high, inclusions of Mg-Al spinels will form in the steel, reducing the processing performance of the steel wire. An appropriate amount of magnesium content in the steel can improve the deformation performance of the inclusions, expand the region with high deformability of the inclusions, and contribute to the improvement of the deformation ability of the steel wire. Therefore, in the present invention, the magnesium content is suppressed to 0.0002% - 0.0012%.
[0019] Nb: The niobium element suppresses the growth of the steel billet crystal grains during the heating of the steel billet and improves the uniformity of the hardness distribution of the steel wire structure. However, if the niobium content in the steel is too high, work hardening during the deformation process of the wire rod becomes prominent, reducing the deep processing ability of the wire rod. Therefore, in the present invention, the Nb content is suppressed to 0.0003% - 0.0009%.
[0020] Mo: Molybdenum is a strong carbide-forming element. Due to the dispersed distribution of molybdenum carbides, the crystal grains of the steel wire are refined, and the uniformity of the hardness distribution across the cross-section of the steel wire is improved. However, if the molybdenum content in the steel is too high, the machining performance of the wire rod will be reduced. Therefore, in the present invention, the Mo content is suppressed to 0.0003% - 0.0012%.
[0021] The present invention further provides a method for manufacturing a wire rod for precision steel cord. The method includes the following steps.

After heating the square billet, it undergoes rough rolling, medium rolling, pre-finishing rolling, finishing rolling, and twin module block rolling, and then wire making is carried out to form a wire rod. The rolling specification of the wire rod is 5.0 - 6.0 mm.

When the phase transformation time on the air-cooling line is 4 - 6 s, the pearlite content of the wire rod is ≥ 50%. When the phase transformation time is 14 - 16 s, the pearlite content is ≥ 95%. The finally cooled wire rod mainly has a sorbite structure, which contributes to the tensile strength of the steel wire by the user.
[0026] In the above invention, further, in step (1), the molten steel is molten iron scrap and steel scrap, among which the steel scrap accounts for 5% - 10% of the molten steel by mass%.
[0027] In the above invention, further, in step (1), after melting the molten steel in a converter, it is refined in an LF furnace.

[0028] In the above invention, further, in step (3), the temperature of the rolled material when carried out from the pre-finishing rolling mill is 950 to 1000 °C, and the temperature compensation deformation rate coefficient of the last pass of the pre-finishing rolling of the rolled material is (1.1 to 2.6) * 10 13 s -1 and the temperature of the rolled material when entering the finishing rolling mill is 880 to 960 °C, and the temperature compensation deformation rate coefficient of the last pass of the finishing rolling of the rolled material is (1.6 to 3.2) * 10 14 s -1 and the temperature when entering the twin module block is 890 to 940 °C, and the temperature compensation deformation rate coefficient of the last pass of the twin module block of the rolled material is (4.5 to 9.9) * 10 14 s -1 is.
[0029] In the above invention, further, in step (3), the wire rod production wire temperature is 910 to 940 °C. By controlling the wire rod production wire temperature high, the cooling rate of the wire rod on the air-cooling roller table is increased, and a basis for controlling the final structure of the wire rod is built.
