Referring to the metallographic structure diagram of the hot rolled wire rod in the attached drawings 1-4, the steel wire rod for the bridge cable comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.85-0.91%, Si: 0.20 to 0.50%, Mn: 0.60-0.90%, Cr is less than or equal to 0.20%, P is less than or equal to 0.015%, S is less than or equal to 0.015%, Ni is less than or equal to 0.20%, Cu is less than or equal to 0.10%, Al is less than or equal to 0.05%, V is less than or equal to 0.1%, O is less than or equal to 0.003%, N is less than or equal to 0.006%, and the balance is iron and unavoidable impurities. The invention ensures the strength of the galvanized steel wire and meets the plasticity index of the wire rod through reasonable component control.
The manufacturing method controls the segregation of the steel billet through low-superheat pouring and end electromagnetic stirring. The method adopts a 150mm multiplied by 150mm small square billet to be heated and formed into a material at one time so as to reduce the segregation of a casting blank and control the quantity of reticular carbides. Reasonable billet heating temperature, rolling temperature and rolling speed and cooling control after rolling are adopted to improve the sorbite structure content of the cable steel wire rod.
The invention adopts reasonable components, continuous casting process and rolling process, so that the tensile strength of the steel wire rod for the bridge cable obtained after rolling reaches 1280-1320 MPa. The wire rod produced by the invention can completely meet the technical requirements of manufacturing the phi 7mm and 1860Mpa strength level bridge cable wire, the phi 7mm 1860Mpa level steel wire manufactured by the wire rod produced by the invention has the torsion test more than or equal to 20 times, the winding test more than or equal to 8 times, the sorbite content more than or equal to 90 percent, and the reticular carbide is uniformly distributed. The steel wire rod for bridge cables manufactured by the method has the sorbite structure content of more than 90 percent and has good comprehensive mechanical property.
The invention adopts the small square billet to produce the finished product by one-time heating, does not need cogging and rolling, and reduces the production cost. In order to avoid the problem of insufficient strength of the wire rod produced by using the small square billet, the invention adopts the following method to solve the problems: 1. by adopting a Cr, V and Al microalloying technology, the wire rod has good strong plasticity; 2. the strong plasticity of the wire rod is improved by adopting the processes of electromagnetic stirring, low-temperature pouring and strong cooling.
Example 1
The steel wire rod for the bridge cable in the embodiment 1 comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.85%, Si: 0.35%, Mn: 0.70%, Cr: 0.10%, P0.010%, S0.010%, Ni 0.10%, Cu 0.05%, Al: 0.04%, V:0.05 percent, 0.002 percent of O, 0.004 percent of N, and the balance of iron and inevitable impurities.
The Cr, V, Al and Si elements in the components are reasonably proportioned, so that the mechanical property of the steel wire rod for the thermal treatment-free cable is ensured, the thermal treatment process is reduced, and the production cost is saved. Wherein 0.10 percent of the element Cr0.10 percent can ensure the strength of the steel wire through tests and can inhibit decarburization to a certain extent. Sorbite tissue control is difficult as e.g. high or low will lower the plasticity index of the wire rod. The element V0.05% was chosen as it was confirmed during the tests that the presence of V in steel in the form of carbonitrides was effective in increasing the strength of the wire rod. However, if the amount is large, the number of carbonitride particles increases, and the plasticity deteriorates. The casting performance of the molten steel cannot be influenced by adopting the proportion of Al0.04%, and the Al element can also refine grains. Si element can reduce the strength loss in the hot galvanizing process, but too high Si can cause severe graphitization and poor plasticity of the galvanized steel wire, and reasonable Si0.35% is selected through experiments in the embodiment.
In the embodiment, the Cr, V, Al and Si elements are scientifically and reasonably matched, so that the plasticity index and the molten steel pourability of the wire rod can be ensured, and the wire rod can also meet the mechanical property requirement of the wire rod without subsequent heat treatment.

The wire rod is rapidly cooled by strong wind, so that the sorbite tissue content in the wire rod is increased. In the embodiment, reasonable heating temperature, rolling temperature and speed of the steel billet and cooling control after rolling are adopted to improve the sorbite structure content of the cable steel wire rod.

Segregation can be controlled by adopting low superheat degree pouring and end electromagnetic stirring. The small square billet with the specification of 150mm multiplied by 150mm is heated into a material at one time, cogging and rolling are not needed, and the production cost is reduced.
