The invention relates to high-strength
weathering steel and a method for producing same. The high-strength
weathering steel comprises the following components by weight percent (wt%): 0.001-0.004 percent of C, 0.10-0.30 percent of Si, 0.40-0.70 percent of Mn, 0.020 percent of P or less, 0.008 percent of S or less, 2.50-3.50 percent of Cr, 0.20-0.40 percent of Ni, 0.25-0.50 percent of Cu, 0.01-0.03 percent of Re, 0.02-0.06 percent of Al, 0.001-0.004 percent of Ca, 0.001-0.005 percent of N, 0.01-0.03 percent of Ti, 0.01-0.03 percent of Nb and the balance of Fe and other inevitable impurities. After the molten iron is fully deoxidized and before the refining of the molten iron is finished,
ferrotitanium is added to steel
ladle, a Ca wire is fed to the steel
ladle, a Re wire is fed into a
continuous casting crystallizer, and a slab is reheated at 1180-1300 DEG C; the two-stage controlled rolling is adopted; the ratio of the thickness of the intermediate slab to the thickness of the finished product is controlled at 3.0; the refining outlet temperature is controlled at 890-1050 DEG C; the finishing rolling temperature is controlled at 800-860 DEG C; the rate of cooling after finishing rolling is controlled at 10-15 DEG C per second; and the winding temperature is controlled at 580-640 DEG C. The invention has the advantages that the relative
corrosion rate of the
weathering steel subjected to the 72h periodic infiltration is less than 30 percent compared with that of the steel Q345B, the weathering performance of the
weathering steel is obviously better than the traditional high-strength
weathering steel, and the
weathering steel of the invention has the yielding strength of more than 550 Mpa and the elongation rate of more than 24 percent. The high-strength weathering steel of the invention can be applied to the fields of the railway
truck, the container, the bridge, the communication, the
power tower and the like.
