The invention provides a method for manufacturing of a low-cost super-thick steel plate by a short process. The method includes: conducting
smelting,
continuous casting, and
cutting, then performing stacking
slow cooling for 20-30h, cleaning the surfaces and lateral sides of blanks, and maintaining the roughness at 6.3 micrometers; subjecting the two blanks to involution, then performing
vacuum pumping and
welding to maintain the thickness of the combined blank at 200-300mm; sending the combined blank into a walking beam type
heating furnace, conducting preheating at a
slow heating speed, controlling cold charging at 12-13min / cm, employing a normal speed at a heating section, prolonging the heat preservation time of a soaking section by 0-30min, and keeping the tapping temperature higher than or equal to 1100DEG C; after
phosphorus removal, employing direct rolling or TMCP rolling, controlling the initial rolling temperature of rough rolling higher than or equal to 1050DEG C, keeping a
first pass reduction rate higher than or equal to 10% and a cumulative
reduction rate higher than or equal to 30%; and controlling the initial rolling temperature and the final rolling temperature of finish rolling at technological parameter lower limits, controlling a
compression ratio at 1.8-2.5, and carrying out
air cooling or controlled cooling after rolling as well as a heat treatment. The super-thick steel plate product produced at a small
compression ratio has good quality and uniform performance. And the method provided in the invention has low
energy consumption and fast rolling pace, is suitable for industrial
mass production, and has significant economic and
social benefits.
