Definitions
- the present invention relates to a hot-rolling and heat treatment process, particularly to a hot-rolling on-line thermal insulation heat treatment process and a heat treatment line.
- hot coils are usually sent to a hot-rolled steel finishing warehouse to receive collective slow cooling with the aid of thermal insulation (using thermal insulation walls or thermal insulation pits, etc) or off-line heat treatment (using a roller hearth furnace or a bell furnace, etc.) to alleviate the influence.
- thermal insulation using thermal insulation walls or thermal insulation pits, etc
- off-line heat treatment using a roller hearth furnace or a bell furnace, etc.
- the original process flow is: heating - rolling - laminar cooling - coiling - off-line heat treatment (in a thermal insulation pit or a heat treatment furnace, etc.).
- CN 102 815 491 A discloses a "carrier roller-tray type metal strip coil transport device", wherein a transport chain tray is used to roll up and transport a steel coil after coiling.
- This device comprises a fixed saddle just for transporting a steel coil. It cannot perform on-line thermal insulation of the steel coil during transportation.
- CN 107 470 377 A discloses an "on-line thermal insulation slow cooling device" which only has thermal insulation effect. Due to incomplete sealing of its bottom structure, the thermal insulation effect is not good for steel coils.
- JP 2010 094710 A discloses a "tunnel-type thermal insulation enclosure", wherein special thermal insulation pits and the like are added to the production line, which generally results in high cost. Moreover, it takes a long period of time to retrofit the production line, and thus normal production will be affected.
- KR 1 589 913 B1 discloses a "mobile tunnel thermal insulation enclosure". Although movement and thermal insulation are achieved at the same time, the overall mobile equipment is contained in a thermal insulation chamber, and thus the service life of the equipment is shortened. Independent thermal insulation of individual objects and a perfect combination of a thermal insulation enclosure with a transport line cannot be achieved.
- CN 101 413 051 B discloses a "deep processing system for hot-rolled strip steel", wherein a thermal insulation tunnel structure is used, but the overall mobile equipment is contained in a thermal insulation chamber, and thus the service life of the equipment is shortened.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process and a heat treatment line, wherein the coiling process temperature for a hot coil is effectively exploited to efficiently perform thermal insulation heat treatment on the hot coil at the earliest time.
- the thermally insulated hot coil moves on-line along with a thermal insulation device to ensure meeting differentiated heat treatment process requirements. Not only product performances can be improved effectively, but also one-time investment is low. The needs of high-speed large-scale production can be satisfied, and energy can be saved.
- the steel coil transport cart transports the steel coil to the tray, and then the thermal insulation device is placed on the tray to insulate the steel coil at the earliest time.
- the thermal insulation enclosure and the steel coil move normally along the transport chain roller bed with no influence on the production operation of succeeding steel coils, while heat treatment is implemented during transportation.
- Transport cart lateral transmission roller bed device this device transfers an unloaded transport cart device bearing no thermal insulation enclosure from a back-haul transport chain roller bed to the heat treatment transport chain roller bed to realize transmission of the transport cart device to ensure that the transport cart can continue to receive another hot-rolled steel coil coming from the coiling station.
- the thermal insulation enclosure hoisting device lifts the thermal insulation enclosure from the transport cart device that carries the thermal insulation enclosure and moves on the back-haul transport chain roller bed, and then transfers the thermal insulation enclosure to the heat treatment transport chain roller bed to wait for next operation.
- a thermal insulation enclosure up-transfer hoisting device automatically places the thermal insulation enclosure on the transport cart device to achieve thermal insulation of the hot-rolled steel coil after the coiling of the steel.
- the transport cart device bearing a thermal insulation enclosure can satisfy the requirement of on-line heat treatment of a steel coil.
- the transport cart device can move on the transport chain roller bed and transport the steel coil that has been hot rolled and coiled to the thermal insulation zone of the transport chain to accomplish heat treatment.
- the thermal insulation enclosure and the transport cart device can be separated and combined by using a thermal insulation enclosure up-transfer hoisting device and a thermal insulation enclosure down-transfer hoisting device.
- Single thermal insulation enclosure zone a steel coil is subjected to thermal insulation heat treatment in a transport cart device bearing a thermal insulation enclosure.
- the purpose of heat treatment is achieved by controlling the running time of the transport cart device bearing a thermal insulation enclosure on the heat treatment transport chain roller bed.
- the layout of the single thermal insulation enclosure zone needs to be coordinated with the transport cart devices bearing thermal insulation enclosures, with the number of hot-rolled steel coils to be insulated and the time of insulation being taken into account. Assuming that the number of thermal insulation enclosures for hot steel coils is n, the number of steel coil transport carts on the production line should be > n + 1. After a thermal insulation enclosure is separated from a transport cart device at the thermal insulation enclosure down-transfer hoisting device, the thermal insulation enclosure, together with the transport cart, returns to the up-transfer hoisting device along the back-haul transport chain roller bed.
- special batches of hot-rolled strip steel can be subjected to special treatment such as in-depth processing when necessary, and heat treatment work stations can be added in the thermal insulation zone.
- the heat treatment work station is provided with a heating system for heating the interior of the thermal insulation enclosure and a protective cooling gas input system.
- a hot-rolled strip steel transport cart transports the hot-rolled steel coil to a work station where the heating system for heating the interior will heat the hot-rolled strip steel.
- Relevant heat treatment curves and process requirements may be utilized to perform the secondary heating of the steel coil to improve the overall performances of the hot-rolled strip steel.
- the transport cart device carrying a thermal insulation enclosure that has entered the processing work station is coupled to the protective cooling gas input system.
- the requirement for controlling the internal temperature of the thermal insulation enclosure device may be fulfilled by controlling the volume and proportion of the protective gas that is input. Relevant heat treatment curves and process requirements may be utilized to perform the secondary heating of the steel coil to improve the overall performances of the hot-rolled strip steel.
- the hot-rolled strip steel transport cart transports the hot-rolled strip steel to an information code printing station where the coil information will be printed on the steel coil. After it's confirmed that the steel coil separated from the thermal insulation enclosure carries the steel coil information, the steel coil is conveyed to the next production line for further processing.
- the heat-treated steel coil is transported along the transport chain roller bed to a steel coil warehouse, or transported via the transport chain system to the next working procedure of the production line to continue the production.
- the processing line is also provided with a heat treatment work station and an information code printing device.
- a special batch of hot-rolled strip steel may need to be subjected to special treatment such as in-depth processing in the heat treatment work station.
- a heat treatment work station may be added in the thermal insulation zone.
- the heat treatment work station is provided with a heating system for heating the interior of the thermal insulation enclosure and a protective cooling gas input system.
- Information code printing device a hot-rolled strip steel transport cart transports the hot-rolled strip steel to an information code printing station where the coil information will be printed on the steel coil.
- Heat-treated steel coils may be transported along the transport chain roller bed to a steel coil warehouse. If a steel coil needs cold rolling, flattening or trimming, a transport cart rotating roller bed device is used to transfer the steel coil to a transport chain roller bed in the next working procedure.
- thermal insulation enclosure exists individually and independently, and the temperature of each steel coil can be controlled during transportation on the transport chain. This saves time, and also improves production rhythm and efficiency.
- the hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process realizes on-line movable heat treatment of a hot coil by using a thermal insulation device directly after coiling of the hot coil.
- this process is used in place of the traditional off-line heat treatment, the purpose of improving product performances and plate shape quality, saving energy and reducing consumption can be achieved.
- Thermal insulation heat treatment of hot-rolled and cold-rolled high-strength steel hot coils in an "on-line mode" avoids the influence of air cooling after coiling on the performances of the steel coils, and improves the performances of the hot-rolled and cold-rolled high-strength steel.
- the present invention realizes on-line heat treatment during the transport chain transportation for a hot-rolled steel coil after coiling. After the steel coil leaves a coiler where the coiling is done, a movable hot coil thermal insulation heat treatment device is applied to the steel coil immediately. The heat of the steel coil itself is exploited to implement the heat treatment process including soaking and slow cooling of the steel coil to achieve the goals of high efficiency, energy saving and high yield rate.
- the strip steel coil is subjected to thermal insulation treatment at the earliest time.
- severe fluctuation of rolling force in cold rolling production, and failure to meet the tolerance standard for the thickness of final cold-rolled products are avoided.
- the rolling stability of cold-rolling - pickling - continuous rolling mills is improved, and the yield rate of cold-rolled ultra-high-strength steel is increased.
- a hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process is provided according to the present invention, wherein a slab is heated, rolled, laminar-flow cooled, and coiled to a hot coil state; after the hot coil is unloaded and bundled, a movable hot coil thermal insulation heat treatment device is applied to the hot coil within 30 minutes to start heat treatment on the hot coil while the hot coil is simultaneously transported on-line to a hot coil thermal insulation treatment zone; after heat treatment for a period of time of 1 to 48 hours, the steel coil is cooled in air and then sent to a warehouse, wherein a coiling temperature is controlled between 250 °C and 750 °C.

Description
- The present invention relates to a hot-rolling and heat treatment process, particularly to a hot-rolling on-line thermal insulation heat treatment process and a heat treatment line.
- In traditional hot rolling production processes, due to the complex composition design and strengthening mechanism of hot-rolled and cold-rolled high-strength steel, uneven cooling and excessively fast cooling after rolling or coiling have a negative influence on the performances of finished products, resulting in such problems as fluctuation of strip steel performances, degradation of plate shape, etc. In order to solve these problems, after coiling, hot coils are usually sent to a hot-rolled steel finishing warehouse to receive collective slow cooling with the aid of thermal insulation (using thermal insulation walls or thermal insulation pits, etc) or off-line heat treatment (using a roller hearth furnace or a bell furnace, etc.) to alleviate the influence. However, this leads to increased manufacturing cost, prolonged manufacturing cycle, among other problems. Moreover, some of the means cannot fully achieve the purpose of improving performances and plate shape quality.
- Conventional methods for post-coiling heat treatment of hot coils include:
- 1) after coiling, hot coils are sent to a finishing warehouse for slow cooling treatment using thermal insulation pits or thermal insulation walls;
- 2) after coiling, hot coils are sent to a finishing warehouse where they are stacked for collective slow cooling, after which plates are cut out using a decoiler set, and then tempered in a roller hearth furnace;
- 3) after coiling, hot coils are sent to a cold-rolling stage, and then annealed in a bell furnace for cold-rolled steel.
- The original process flow is: heating - rolling - laminar cooling - coiling - off-line heat treatment (in a thermal insulation pit or a heat treatment furnace, etc.).
- In the case where hot coils are sent to a finishing warehouse after coiling, and then slowly cooled using thermal insulation pits or thermal insulation walls, it generally takes 30-120 minutes for the hot coils to be transported into the warehouse after coiling, during which time uneven cooling of the inner cycle, outer cycle and sides of the strip steel has already occurred due to the fast cooling rate of the hot coils in air. In addition, there is no heat source in the thermal insulation pits or walls for providing heat, and thus the slow cooling treatment actually improves the performances and plate shape quality of the strip steel to a very limited extent.
- In the case of tempering treatment using a roller hearth furnace or annealing treatment using a bell furnace, uniform heat treatment of strip steel may be realized, but a huge one-time project investment is required. Moreover, the strip steel needs to be reheated, which leads to a significant increase in manufacturing cost and a prolonged manufacturing cycle of the product.
- At present, other steel plants at home and abroad usually treat hot coils by collective slow cooling with the aid of thermal insulation (using thermal insulation walls or thermal insulation pits, etc.) in a hot-rolled steel finishing warehouse or off-line heat treatment (using a roller hearth furnace or a bell furnace, etc.).
- For example,
CN 102 815 491 A discloses a "carrier roller-tray type metal strip coil transport device", wherein a transport chain tray is used to roll up and transport a steel coil after coiling. This device comprises a fixed saddle just for transporting a steel coil. It cannot perform on-line thermal insulation of the steel coil during transportation. -
CN 107 470 377 A discloses an "on-line thermal insulation slow cooling device" which only has thermal insulation effect. Due to incomplete sealing of its bottom structure, the thermal insulation effect is not good for steel coils. -
JP 2010 094710 A -
KR 1 589 913 B1 -
CN 101 413 051 B discloses a "deep processing system for hot-rolled strip steel", wherein a thermal insulation tunnel structure is used, but the overall mobile equipment is contained in a thermal insulation chamber, and thus the service life of the equipment is shortened. - The following problems exist in the above prior art:
- (1) The most prominent problem of a hot-rolling thermal insulation device is that the interval between coiling of strip steel and entry of a steel coil into the insulation device is so long that metallographic structure transformation of the strip steel has already occurred or has been completed. The effect of off-line slow cooling in improving hot coil performances cannot meet the quality requirements for high-strength steel. It will take as long as 20-30 minutes to hoist and transfer the hot coil into a thermal insulation enclosure, such that the air cooling time of the steel coil is too long, which affects the thermal insulation effect and material properties.
- (2) The cost of adding special thermal insulation pits, thermal insulation furnaces, bell furnaces, heat treatment lines and the like to a production line is generally high. Moreover, it takes a long period of time to retrofit the production line, and thus normal production will be affected. In addition, there is a problem that the thermal insulation effect is not good (i.e. temperature drops fast).
- (3) Thermal insulation enclosures are nearly all in off-line mode (the thermal insulation devices are statically positioned on a coiling platform), and transportation of steel coils disrupts the normal production rhythm of a production line. The production capacity of the rolled steel production line is affected, and bulk production is practically difficult.
- (4) Semi-closed "tunnel" insulation using a transport chain or the thermal insulation technology using a vertical transportation mode has the disadvantages of, inter alia, insufficient insulating time and poor thermal insulation effect of steel coils in large-scale production, and thus they are very difficult to be put into practice.
- The invention is defined in the appended claims. An object of the present invention is to provide a hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process and a heat treatment line, wherein the coiling process temperature for a hot coil is effectively exploited to efficiently perform thermal insulation heat treatment on the hot coil at the earliest time. The thermally insulated hot coil moves on-line along with a thermal insulation device to ensure meeting differentiated heat treatment process requirements. Not only product performances can be improved effectively, but also one-time investment is low. The needs of high-speed large-scale production can be satisfied, and energy can be saved.
- To achieve the above object, the technical solution of the present invention is provided by a hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process as defined in
claim 1 or a hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment line as defined in claim 6. Further improvements are subject to the dependent claims. - In the hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment line of the present invention:
After the strip steel is coiled, the steel coil transport cart transports the steel coil to the tray, and then the thermal insulation device is placed on the tray to insulate the steel coil at the earliest time. - The thermal insulation enclosure and the steel coil move normally along the transport chain roller bed with no influence on the production operation of succeeding steel coils, while heat treatment is implemented during transportation.
- Transport cart lateral transmission roller bed device: this device transfers an unloaded transport cart device bearing no thermal insulation enclosure from a back-haul transport chain roller bed to the heat treatment transport chain roller bed to realize transmission of the transport cart device to ensure that the transport cart can continue to receive another hot-rolled steel coil coming from the coiling station.
- The thermal insulation enclosure hoisting device lifts the thermal insulation enclosure from the transport cart device that carries the thermal insulation enclosure and moves on the back-haul transport chain roller bed, and then transfers the thermal insulation enclosure to the heat treatment transport chain roller bed to wait for next operation. When the hot-rolled steel that has been coiled is placed on the transport cart device, a thermal insulation enclosure up-transfer hoisting device automatically places the thermal insulation enclosure on the transport cart device to achieve thermal insulation of the hot-rolled steel coil after the coiling of the steel.
- The transport cart device bearing a thermal insulation enclosure can satisfy the requirement of on-line heat treatment of a steel coil. The transport cart device can move on the transport chain roller bed and transport the steel coil that has been hot rolled and coiled to the thermal insulation zone of the transport chain to accomplish heat treatment. The thermal insulation enclosure and the transport cart device can be separated and combined by using a thermal insulation enclosure up-transfer hoisting device and a thermal insulation enclosure down-transfer hoisting device.
- Single thermal insulation enclosure zone: a steel coil is subjected to thermal insulation heat treatment in a transport cart device bearing a thermal insulation enclosure. The purpose of heat treatment is achieved by controlling the running time of the transport cart device bearing a thermal insulation enclosure on the heat treatment transport chain roller bed.
- The layout of the single thermal insulation enclosure zone needs to be coordinated with the transport cart devices bearing thermal insulation enclosures, with the number of hot-rolled steel coils to be insulated and the time of insulation being taken into account. Assuming that the number of thermal insulation enclosures for hot steel coils is n, the number of steel coil transport carts on the production line should be > n + 1. After a thermal insulation enclosure is separated from a transport cart device at the thermal insulation enclosure down-transfer hoisting device, the thermal insulation enclosure, together with the transport cart, returns to the up-transfer hoisting device along the back-haul transport chain roller bed.
- According to the present invention, special batches of hot-rolled strip steel can be subjected to special treatment such as in-depth processing when necessary, and heat treatment work stations can be added in the thermal insulation zone. The heat treatment work station is provided with a heating system for heating the interior of the thermal insulation enclosure and a protective cooling gas input system.
- For hot-rolled strip steel that needs to be heated, a hot-rolled strip steel transport cart transports the hot-rolled steel coil to a work station where the heating system for heating the interior will heat the hot-rolled strip steel. Relevant heat treatment curves and process requirements may be utilized to perform the secondary heating of the steel coil to improve the overall performances of the hot-rolled strip steel.
- In the case that hot-rolled strip steel needs gas protection and rapid controlled cooling, the transport cart device carrying a thermal insulation enclosure that has entered the processing work station is coupled to the protective cooling gas input system. The requirement for controlling the internal temperature of the thermal insulation enclosure device may be fulfilled by controlling the volume and proportion of the protective gas that is input. Relevant heat treatment curves and process requirements may be utilized to perform the secondary heating of the steel coil to improve the overall performances of the hot-rolled strip steel.
- After the thermal insulation enclosure is separated from the hot-rolled steel strip, the hot-rolled strip steel transport cart transports the hot-rolled strip steel to an information code printing station where the coil information will be printed on the steel coil. After it's confirmed that the steel coil separated from the thermal insulation enclosure carries the steel coil information, the steel coil is conveyed to the next production line for further processing.
- After the information printing step is completed, the heat-treated steel coil is transported along the transport chain roller bed to a steel coil warehouse, or transported via the transport chain system to the next working procedure of the production line to continue the production.
- According to the present invention, the processing line is also provided with a heat treatment work station and an information code printing device. A special batch of hot-rolled strip steel may need to be subjected to special treatment such as in-depth processing in the heat treatment work station. A heat treatment work station may be added in the thermal insulation zone. The heat treatment work station is provided with a heating system for heating the interior of the thermal insulation enclosure and a protective cooling gas input system.
- Information code printing device: a hot-rolled strip steel transport cart transports the hot-rolled strip steel to an information code printing station where the coil information will be printed on the steel coil.
- Heat-treated steel coils may be transported along the transport chain roller bed to a steel coil warehouse. If a steel coil needs cold rolling, flattening or trimming, a transport cart rotating roller bed device is used to transfer the steel coil to a transport chain roller bed in the next working procedure.
- It is a pioneering technology to complete thermal insulation, soaking and slow cooling of a steel coil using steel coil transport equipment on line. The thermal insulation enclosure exists individually and independently, and the temperature of each steel coil can be controlled during transportation on the transport chain. This saves time, and also improves production rhythm and efficiency.
- The beneficial effects of the present invention include:
According to the present invention, the hot-rolling on-line movable thermal insulation heat treatment process realizes on-line movable heat treatment of a hot coil by using a thermal insulation device directly after coiling of the hot coil. When this process is used in place of the traditional off-line heat treatment, the purpose of improving product performances and plate shape quality, saving energy and reducing consumption can be achieved. - Thermal insulation heat treatment of hot-rolled and cold-rolled high-strength steel hot coils in an "on-line mode" avoids the influence of air cooling after coiling on the performances of the steel coils, and improves the performances of the hot-rolled and cold-rolled high-strength steel.
- The present invention realizes on-line heat treatment during the transport chain transportation for a hot-rolled steel coil after coiling. After the steel coil leaves a coiler where the coiling is done, a movable hot coil thermal insulation heat treatment device is applied to the steel coil immediately. The heat of the steel coil itself is exploited to implement the heat treatment process including soaking and slow cooling of the steel coil to achieve the goals of high efficiency, energy saving and high yield rate.
- On the production line according to the present invention, after coiling, the strip steel coil is subjected to thermal insulation treatment at the earliest time. This greatly addresses the challenges of insufficient performance improvement caused by the excessively long time from coiling to entry of the steel coil to the slow cooling device, and large performance fluctuation of the strip steel in the length and width directions. In addition, severe fluctuation of rolling force in cold rolling production, and failure to meet the tolerance standard for the thickness of final cold-rolled products are avoided. The rolling stability of cold-rolling - pickling - continuous rolling mills is improved, and the yield rate of cold-rolled ultra-high-strength steel is increased.
- 1. Real time: thermal insulation treatment of a hot coil is implemented directly after coiling, and the interval is short.
- 2. On line: thermal insulation of a hot coil is implemented directly on a transport chain with no redundant process.
- 3. Economy: residual heat of a steel coil is exploited to implement the post-coiling heat treatment, which is energy saving and environmentally friendly.
- 4. Process: the thermal insulation effect is ideal, and the requirements of high-strength steel on thermal insulation process can be satisfied.
