Effect of Slab Centerline Segregation on DWTT Properties of 22mm Thick X80M Hot Rolled Steel Strip

Abstract:

The replacement of 22mm thick X80M hot rolled strip for the traditional heavy plate production technology has remarkable advantages in improving the yield, reducing the cost of manufacturing and improving the outer diameter adjustment of pipeline. Low temperature anti Drop Weight Tear Test (for short DWTT) performs one of the key research problems of 2250mm hot rolling line production of this specification. Aiming at the problem of the substandard performance of rolled DWTT development process, the slab fracture morphology of different proportion and slab thickness direction component segregation degree of system were analyzed through the electron microscope. The results showed that the thickness of steel strip was serious segregation and is the main factor affecting the performance of DWTT. By optimizing the caster arc alignment and secondary cooling water, then improving the central segregation effect, the performance of DWTT can be effectively improved, and a stable development and production of 22mm thickness X80M pipeline steel hot rolledstrip can be achieved.
