The invention relates to a high-strength steel for
water heater containers, which solves the current drawbacks of complex
welding process, non-once-forming steel plate, many
alloy elements, low strength, poor
pressure resistance and easy deformation to make enamel drop off. The steel is mainly composed of 0.01% to 0.15% by weight of C, no more than 0.04% by weight of Si, 0.50% to 0.90% by weight of Mn, no more than 0.070% by weight of P, 0.015% by weight of S, 0.005% to 0.060% by weight of Ti, 0.005% to 0.070% by weigh of Als, and the balance Fe and unavoidable
impurity. The production method comprises the following steps: desulphurization of hot
metal, and converter bottom-top composite blowing;
argon blowing; all-protected
casting to form a plate blank; and hot rolling by controlling rolling and controlling cooling. According to the invention, the microalloy elements are less, the production cost is low, the
welding is convenient, the cold
formability is good, the
pressure resistance is superior, the yield stress reaches up to 360MPa, the plate is capable of bearing 320MPa or more strength, being once-formed, and directly being enameled to various heater containers.
