The invention discloses a method for controlling a Widmannstatten structure of a carbon cold heading steel
wire rod, which comprises the steps of molten iron desulphurization, converter
smelting,
argon blowing, LF furnace treatment, square billet
continuous casting, square billet heating, high-speed wire rolling, Stelmor controlled cooling and coil collection, and the key control points comprise: 1) in the square billet
continuous casting step, regulating and controlling the specific
water flow of a
continuous casting machine according to the carbon content; (2) in the square billet heating step, the soaking section temperature, the section
temperature difference, the head-
tail temperature difference, the furnace pressure and the reduction
atmosphere in the furnace are regulated and controlled; (3) in the high-speed wire rolling step, the
spinning temperature and speed are adjusted according to the
diameter of a
wire rod; and (4) in the Stelmor controlled cooling step, the
cooling speed of the
wire rod in the
lap joint area is increased, and the
cooling speed is controlled to be uniform. By the adoption of the method, the Widmannstatten structure level in the carbon cold heading steel wire rod structure can be effectively controlled, the uniformity of the wire rod structure and the
ferrite grain size are optimized, the phenomena of cold heading
cracking and the like are effectively avoided, and the percent of pass of finished parts is effectively increased.
