Technical Field
The invention relates to a device for manufacturing ultrahigh-strength steel plates, in particular to a device for manufacturing ultrahigh-strength steel plates on an assembly line.
Background
Since the middle of the 90 s of the last century, the demand of strip steel in China is getting larger and larger, and the ultrahigh-strength steel is developed on the basis of alloy structural steel and is mainly used for manufacturing an aircraft landing gear, a main beam, a solid rocket engine shell, a high-speed centrifuge rotating cylinder and other structural components bearing high stress. With the development of science and technology, the social demand of ultrahigh-strength steel is increasing, and the application field is also continuously widened.
Since 2000, the industrial revolution of the large machine production industry has been greatly developed, the economic globalization has increased the amount of steel for automobiles and the automobile output, and the three problems of oil consumption, emission and traffic safety have been brought to people while bringing convenience to travel. An effective means for solving the problems of energy consumption and environment is the light weight of automobiles, and light weight materials are divided into two categories: one is a low density, lightweight material such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, and the like; another category is high strength materials such as high strength steel sheet, hot stamped steel, and high strength cast iron. The plate is a main variety of steel for automobiles, and can be divided into traditional low-strength mild steel, high-strength steel and ultrahigh-strength steel according to different strengths. From the viewpoint of performance, in order to satisfy requirements for automobile safety, collision resistance, fatigue resistance, etc., and to improve formability and surface quality, steel sheets for automobiles are required to have low plane anisotropy and high elongation, bending properties, hole expansibility, etc. In recent years, hot rolled plates made of high-strength steel are widely applied, but the hot rolled plates are slightly insufficient in thickness specification, lightness, surface quality and the like, and the weight reduction of automobiles puts more strict requirements on steel required structures, so that the total consumption of the hot rolled plates on automobiles is small, the hot rolled plates are mainly applied to chassis stamped parts, the automobile body accounts for about 10%, and high-strength steel plates are mostly used for automobile body structural parts.
At present, the traditional steel production technology is basically mature, the research, development and application of the new generation of steel materials become the first task of the 21 st century steel materials, and a large number of advanced process technologies for preparing high-strength steel materials are produced. It is well known that grain size is an important factor affecting mechanical and physical properties of materials, and that refining grains can significantly improve the strength and toughness of materials. The nano structure of the tissue structure can further improve the toughness of the material and has good application prospect in engineering. The refined steel has high strength and toughness and wide application prospect in structural equipment, so the preparation technology of the refined steel becomes the focus of the research field of high-strength materials. The current methods of making high strength steels include: strong Plastic Deformation (SPD), low carbon martensitic cold rolling, equal channel angular Extrusion (ECAP), High Pressure Torsion (HPT), cumulative lap welding (ARB), multidirectional forging (MDF), and the like. Of these, the technique of large plastic deformation (SPD) is more attractive and has the great potential to refine coarse-grained materials to the nanometer level, thus giving the material high strength. The mechanical strength and hardness of the traditional common low-carbon steel are low, low-carbon martensite can be obtained after quenching, and then nano-size crystal grains are obtained through grain refinement, so that the strength of the low-carbon martensite is improved, and high-strength steel is obtained.
The super-strength steel used for automobile body materials is required to have enough hardness, strength and capability of resisting severe environment, the quality of automobile plates is light, the requirements of automobile light weight and energy conservation and emission reduction need to be met, the existing process for preparing the high-strength steel consumes time and labor, the production efficiency is low, the mechanization and automation degree are poor, the requirements of people on the quality and quantity of the high-strength steel are difficult to meet, so how to improve the production device of the high-strength steel plate and even the super-strength steel plate is realized, and the technical problem to be solved by technical personnel in the field is urgently solved.
