A kind of production method of easy-formation high-strength medium plate

Technical field

The invention belongs to steel-smelting technology, is the production method of the high-strength steel plate of a kind of easy-formation.

Background technology

Along with the development of metallurgical industry, the production of surrender more than 550MPa High Strength Steel Plate there occurs huge change, from traditional quench in furnace+tempering (i.e. RQ+T) technological development to TMCP, TMCP+T, DQ+T, Q+P, Q+P+T, particularly rolled rear online direct quenching ((Direct Quenching in recent years, be called for short DQ)) technique obtains significant progress, is widely used in the production of High Strength Steel Plate.

The High Strength Structural Steel of present DQ explained hereafter is compared with the High Strength Structural Steel of other explained hereafter, significantly can reduce alloying element content when mechanical property is suitable and reduce carbon equivalent, improve the processing performance such as welding, receive efficient, material-saving, the energy-conservation and multiple effect that lowers consumption; When roughly the same composition, compared with other techniques higher, the plasticity of armor plate strength and toughness better, routine inspection all can meet the requirement of technical qualification of delivering goods.But in actual use, the yield tensile ratio of steel plate is high, particularly steel plate cold bending cracking causes processability poor, and user proposes quality objection in a large number, the high strength structure plate that refusal uses DQ to produce.

Carefully analyze discovery, the high tensile steel plate dislocation desity of DQ explained hereafter is high, yield strength is high, causes yield tensile ratio high.Delivery requirements cold-bending property verifies as narrow clod wash sample, and the requirement of the actual use of user is cold roll forming is wide clod wash; Find evenly to extend low during steel plate stretching inspection, stretching fracture be ductile rupture really but there is layering, be typical brittle rupture with layered face.

Thick High Strength Steel Plate delivery technical qualification in low yield strength ratio Q550F: chemical composition requires as table 1, factory can add wherein one or more alloying elements as required, maximum value should meet in table and specifies, its content should be reported in quality certificate, a kind of crystal grain thinning element in Nb, Ti, V, Al at least should be added in steel, wherein the minimum of at least one element is 0.015%(is Als for Al), also Alt substitute for Al s can be used, now minimum is 0.018%, CEV=C+Mn/6+(Cr+Mo+V)/5+(Ni+Cu)/15; Mechanical property requirements is as table 2, and tension test is applicable to horizontal sample, and shock test is applicable to longitudinal test piece, when yield phenomenon is not obvious, adopts Rp _0.2.
