Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plant for the thermomechanical rolling of long steel semi-finished products, a method for producing rod-shaped steels, preferably structural steels, from the long steel semi-finished products, in particular with a yield point of at least 300 MPa, preferably with a yield point of at least 400 MPa, and a rod-shaped steel product , which is preferably obtainable by the process according to the invention.
- the corresponding steels are first hot-rolled over a plurality of roll stands and then quenched after the rolling train. Due to the large drop in temperature, a martensite ring forms over the circumference, giving the material the required strength.
- the resulting steel products are then cut to a length of up to 12 m, cooled as evenly as possible on a cooling bed from 650 °C to 100 °C and then combined into bundles that can be transported and processed further.
- WO 2004/104237 A1 discloses a method for winding metallic rods.
- the finish-rolled bars are slowly cooled to a temperature in the range of 600 to 700 °C in a cooling and equalizing section, which is arranged downstream of the rolling device in the transport direction and comprises several water tanks, and then fed to a coil winding device. This results in only a microstructure with a core of ferrite and pearlite surrounded by a ring-shaped structure of martensite and larger portions of bainite.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object of providing a system for thermomechanical rolling of long steel semi-finished products and a method for producing bar-shaped steel products, in particular structural steels, with which bar-shaped steel products, in particular structural steels, with a low scattering of the mechanical material properties and/or can be produced with consistent quality in terms of their microstructure.
- the object is achieved by a system having the features of patent claim 1 and a method having the features of patent claim 10 .
- the plant according to the invention for the thermomechanical rolling of long steel semi-finished products comprises a first rolling device; one in
- thermomechanical sizing block arranged downstream of the first rolling device; a first cooling device disposed between the first rolling device and the first thermomechanical sizing block; a separator arranged downstream of the first thermomechanical sizing block; a second cooling device disposed between the first thermomechanical sizing block and the separator; and a coil winding device arranged downstream of the separating device in the transport direction.
- the invention relates to a method for producing bar-shaped steels from long steel semi-finished products, in particular with a yield point of at least 300 MPa, preferably with a yield point of at least 400 MPa, even more preferably with a yield point of at least 500 MPa, and most preferably with a yield point of at least 600 MPa, the first being heated, if necessary to a temperature of at least 900 °C, preferably to a temperature of at least 950 °C
- Long steel semi-finished product is pre-rolled in a first rolling device and cooled to a temperature of at least 850 °C in a subsequent first cooling device; is then finish-rolled in a first thermomechanical sizing block arranged downstream of the first cooling device in the transport direction to form bar-shaped steel, which is cooled to a temperature in the range of 400 °C to 600 °C in a second cooling device downstream of the first thermomechanical sizing block; subsequently prefabricated in a separating device arranged downstream of the second cooling device in the transport direction; and is then fed to a coil winding device arranged downstream of the separating device in the transport direction and is wound into vertically and/or horizontally wound coils.
- a coordinated process control produces vertically and/or horizontally wound coils of a bar-shaped steel product which have a specific pearlitic-bainitic microstructure and a reduced scattering of the mechanical material values.
- the bar-shaped steel products preferably have a scatter in the mechanical material values, in particular the yield point Re of ⁇ 25 MPa, more preferably a scatter in the yield point Re of ⁇ 20 MPa, even more preferably a scatter in the yield point Re of ⁇ 15 MPa, and most preferably one Scatter of the yield point Re of ⁇ 10 MPa, whereby the strength levels specified in the respective standards based on DIN 488 and other material values are partly improved.
- thermomechanical rolling and the resulting grain refinement effects in the bar-shaped steel products is that the use of manganese or other strength-enhancing micro-alloying elements can be reduced or saved, which has a beneficial effect on manufacturing costs.
- the winding of the bar-shaped steel products into vertically and/or horizontally wound coils has further advantages with regard to transport and space requirements.
- long steel semi-finished products is understood to mean steel semi-finished products which are suitable for producing the bar-shaped steels or steel products according to the invention, in particular structural steels.
- Such semi-finished long steel products are also referred to as billets and usually have a square or rectangular cross-section.
- the term "rod-shaped steel products” refers to steel products or steel bars, in particular structural steels, which have a round cross-section with a diameter in the range from 6.0 to 50 mm, preferably 6.0 to 32 mm, and whose surface is ribbed and /or is smooth. Such bar-shaped steel products are also known as “rebars”.
- the first rolling device in which the long steel semi-finished product, which has previously been heated to a temperature of at least 900° C., preferably to a temperature of at least 950° C., is pre-rolled, can be formed from a large number of standless rolling stands.
- the first rolling means comprises at least ten, more preferably at least twelve, even more preferably at least fourteen, and most preferably sixteen of these standless rolling stands.
- the first rolling device can comprise hydraulically adjustable roll stands instead of the roll stands without stands.

- the first cooling device can comprise one, or more preferably two, water tanks, which are then arranged at a distance from one another in the first section.
- the cooling capacity of the water tanks of each cooling device can be adjusted based on the volume flow of the cooling water, the number of active cooling tubes per water tank, the cooling tube diameter and/or the cooling water pressure and, if necessary, the cooling water temperature.
- the specifications can typically be predetermined using specific process models and adjusted by online regulation.
- An example channel box may have a channel box length of 6500mm and include six cooling tubes each 750mm long. Such a water box then typically has a maximum cooling water quantity of 230 m 3 /h and a controllable cooling water pressure range from 1.5 to 6.0 bar.
- the first section is preferably selected in such a way that the rolling stock is also given sufficient time for adequate temperature equalization over the cross section.
- the temperature in the rolling stock is equalized by conduction from the core to the surface.
- a temperature gradient of at most 100 °C, more preferably a temperature gradient of at most 80 °C, even more preferably a temperature gradient of at most 60 °C, and most preferably, a temperature gradient of at most 50° C. is set.
- the homogenization of the cross-section temperatures can be controlled indirectly between the respective stations by measuring the surface temperatures of the rolled long steel semi-finished product.
- corresponding process models can also be used.
- the first section can have a length of 80 to 120 m, more preferably a length of 90 to 100 m.
- the rolled long steel semi-finished product cooled to a temperature of at least 850 °C in the first cooling device, is then fed to the first thermomechanical sizing block, in which it is finish-rolled to the desired or specified final diameter.
- the rolled long steel semi-finished product is fed to the first thermomechanical sizing block at a temperature of at least 700 °C, preferably at a temperature of at least 730 °C, more preferably at a temperature of at least 750 °C, even more preferably at a temperature of at least 760°C, and most preferably at a temperature of at least 770°C.
- the temperature of the rolled long steel semi-finished products must not be too high, otherwise the lowest possible temperature gradient between the surface and core temperatures required for the metallurgical recrystallization processes and the associated grain refinement effects cannot be set.
- the temperature at which the rolled long steel semi-finished product is fed to the first thermomechanical sizing block is limited to 850°C, preferably to 840°C, more preferably to 820°C, and most preferably to 800°C. Provision is very particularly preferably made for rolled semi-finished long steel products to be fed to the first thermomechanical sizing block at a temperature of 780°C.
- thermomechanical sizing block the highest deformation or the highest reduction, which can preferably be 30 to 80%, takes place.
- the thermomechanical sizing block can have one, preferably two, more preferably four, even more preferably six, and most preferably eight stands.
- the system can comprise a second thermomechanical sizing block between the first thermomechanical sizing block and the second cooling device, which also has one, preferably two, more preferably four, even more preferably six, and most preferably eight stands can be trained.

- thermomechanical sizing block designed in a basic design could also be divided into six single-stand thermomechanical sizing blocks, with within the entire cascade of, for example, six single-stand thermomechanical sizing blocks between two of these six one-stand thermomechanical sizing blocks each have to be provided with an intermediate cooling device with at least one water tank.
- the thermomechanical sizing blocks are known in principle and are marketed by the applicant under the brand name MEERdrive®.
- the second cooling device is then arranged in a second line section, in which the long steel semi-finished products finish-rolled to bar-shaped steels are cooled in order to stop further grain growth.
- the second cooling device can comprise four to nine water boxes, more preferably five to eight water boxes.
- the second cooling device can comprise at least two, more preferably three, even more preferably four, and most preferably five water tanks, via which the rod-shaped steels are cooled, on the one hand to equalize the temperature and on the other hand to form hardened microstructures in the form of martensite or bainite.
