This invention discloses a
processing method for improving surface cracks in high-strength 316L stainless steel. The steps are as follows: S1, Product
smelting: Low-
sulfur raw materials are selected during the electric furnace charging stage. After electric furnace roughing, pre-desulfurization treatment, AOD refining, and
calcium wire modification, the raw materials are sent to the
continuous casting platform for
casting to obtain slabs; S2, Slab
surface grinding: The two surfaces of the slab are ground in two passes respectively; S3, Hot rolling: Rough rolling and fine rolling. This invention achieves the following: First, by increasing the
chromium content, the slab maintains a reasonable ferrite content, preventing excessive
austenite grain growth during electric furnace heating and
smelting; second, by reducing the content of harmful elements
oxygen and
sulfur, the
precipitation of sulfides between grains is reduced, improving intergranular bonding; third, the surface of the slab is ground to eliminate the
poor quality parts of the slab surface; fourth, a hot rolling light pressing process is used to refine the surface grains of the slab. Through the above means, crack defects are avoided, and the surface quality of the final product is improved.
