Description

Method for regulating and controlling ferrite form in casting blank tissue and prepared microalloyed steel
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of steel materials and metallurgical manufacturing, and particularly relates to a method for regulating and controlling ferrite morphology in a casting blank tissue and microalloyed steel prepared by the method, which are suitable for improving the surface quality of a casting blank in the continuous casting process of the microalloyed steel.
Background
With the development of industry and society, the performance requirements for steel materials are increasing day by day. Trace amounts of Nb, V, ti and other alloy elements are added into steel at present, the micro alloy elements can be combined with C and N in the steel to generate carbonitride, the carbonitride can prevent austenite grains from growing, and fine dispersed carbonitride can also play a role in strengthening a second phase, so that steel with high strength, high toughness and excellent welding performance is obtained, and the steel is widely applied to the fields of engineering machinery, railway vehicles, bridge buildings, pressure vessels and the like.
However, during continuous casting, the grain boundary is pinned by the fine carbonitrides in the microalloy steel, and the solid-dissolved Nb atoms have strong dragging action on the grain boundary and dislocation, so that the generation of dynamic recrystallization is inhibited, and meanwhile, a large amount of net-shaped intergranular ferrite is easily generated, and the strength of the grain boundary is reduced. When a microalloy steel casting blank passes through a straightening section in continuous casting, the lower-strength intergranular ferrite can form microcracks under the action of straightening stress, and the microcracks expand into macrocracks along grain boundaries, finally resulting in the formation of cracks on the surface of the casting blank, especially transverse corner cracks. The prior art can not eliminate the generation of transverse cracks at the corner of a casting blank, and can only reduce the influence by continuous casting corner cutting and rolling edge cutting, thereby reducing the yield of steel. Therefore, in order to fundamentally solve the surface quality problem of microalloyed steel in the continuous casting process, it is necessary to improve the ferrite morphology in the cast slab structure to inhibit the formation of ferrite along the crystal, and to develop a new method for regulating the ferrite morphology in the cast slab structure.

Typical inclusions in cast slabs according to one embodiment of the present invention are shown in fig. 1, and typical inclusions in cast slabs according to one comparative example of the present invention are shown in fig. 2. By adopting the method of the invention, the inclusions in the microalloyed steel consist of coarse Al with edges and corners 2 O 3 Modification of-MnS composite inclusions into small-size ellipsoidal Ce 2 O 2 S rare earth inclusions.
The examples and comparative examples of the present invention were subjected to high temperature hot stretch testing by a Gleeble1500 thermal simulator. The specific process is as follows: 1) Sampling at the 1/4 thickness part of a casting blank, and processing into a high-temperature hot tensile sample with phi 10mm multiplied by 120mm and two threaded ends; 2) The high-temperature hot tensile test is carried out under the protection of argon, the sample is heated to 1250 ℃ at the heating speed of 10 ℃/s, the temperature is kept for 3min to eliminate the temperature gradient and make the components uniform, then the sample is cooled to the tensile temperature (650 ℃ -1050 ℃ and 50 ℃ interval) at the cooling rate of 3 ℃/s, the temperature is kept for 30s, and then the sample is heated to the temperature of 1 multiplied by 10 -3 Breaking the sample at a deformation rate of/s, and spraying water to the fracture immediately after breakingCooling to room temperature; 3) The reduction of area of each sample was calculated and the microstructure near the fracture was analyzed.
Generally, it is considered that the reduction of area is less than 60%, the crack sensitivity of the cast slab is significantly improved, and crack defects are easily generated. The reduction of area at different drawing temperatures for the examples and comparative examples of the present invention are shown in Table 2.
TABLE 2 area reduction (%)
Figure BDA0003653027260000062
As can be seen from the data in Table 2, the reduction of area for each drawing temperature is higher for the examples than for the comparative examples. Specifically, the reduction of area in examples 1 to 3 is higher than 70% in the range of 650 to 1050 ℃; in contrast, in comparative example 1, the reduction of area is less than 60% in the temperature range of 700-850 ℃, and only 37.43% in the temperature range of 750 ℃, so that corner transverse cracks are easily formed when the casting blank passes through the straightening area of the continuous casting machine, and the surface quality is poor.
The microstructure in the vicinity of 750 ℃ tensile fracture according to an example of the present invention is shown in FIG. 3, and the microstructure in the vicinity of 750 ℃ tensile fracture according to a comparative example of the present invention is shown in FIG. 4. As is clear from the figure, the microstructure in the vicinity of fracture in the examples was martensite at the drawing temperature of 750 ℃ while the structure in the comparative examples began to precipitate ferrite along austenite grain boundaries, and the ferrite along the grains was easily cracked to form cracks, which is a factor of rapidly decreasing the reduction of area in the comparative examples at 700 to 850 ℃. The formation of intergranular ferrite was suppressed in the structure of the example as compared with the comparative example.
The microstructure near a 650 ℃ tensile fracture according to one embodiment of the invention is shown in figure 5. As is clear from fig. 5, when the stretching temperature was 650 ℃, a large amount of ferrite was present in the structure near the fracture surface of the example, ferrite precipitated as intragranular ferrite, no intergranular ferrite was present, and the ratio of intragranular ferrite in the structure exceeded 40%. Because the intragranular ferrite has good ductility and toughness, a large amount of ferrite exists in the intragranular ferrite form in the embodiment, and therefore, the generation of cracks can be effectively avoided in the continuous casting process.
In summary, for microalloyed steel, the invention controls the content of B in the casting blank to be 0.0010-0.0015% and the content of Ce to be 0.020-0.050% by adding a proper amount of B and Ce in the refining process, controls the temperature of the casting blank by cooling water in the continuous casting process, and fully exerts the synergistic effect of cooling control of boron, rare earth and the continuous casting process. Boron and rare earth which are dissolved in the steel are easy to be segregated at the grain boundary, so that the energy of the grain boundary is reduced, and the dragging effect of the dissolved Nb atoms on the grain boundary and dislocation is reduced, thereby playing the roles of purifying the grain boundary and promoting dynamic recrystallization, and inhibiting the formation of ferrite along the grain; rare earth Ce can remove coarse and large angular Al in steel 2 O 3 Modification of-MnS composite inclusion into fine and dispersedly distributed Ce 2 O 2 S rare earth inclusions, the linear expansion coefficients of which are similar to that of a steel matrix, are not easy to generate stress concentration when stressed, and are coordinated with the matrix when deformed; produced rare earth inclusions and Fe 23 (C,B) 6 Borides can be used as nucleation cores of intragranular ferrite, so that the generation amount of the intragranular ferrite is increased; the temperature of the casting blank is controlled to be in the formation interval of the intragranular ferrite by utilizing the cooling water, the content of the intragranular ferrite in the structure is further improved, and the precipitation of the ferrite in the casting blank in the form of the intragranular ferrite with good ductility and toughness is finally regulated and controlled, wherein the intragranular ferrite accounts for more than 40 percent. The thickness specification of the casting blank smelted according to the invention is 250mm, no surface crack defect is found by offline detection, and the reduction of area of the casting blank is higher than 70% within the range of 650-1050 ℃.
