Background technology
Annular chains is mainly used in binding object, and as the handling such as wood, shaped steel, it is had relatively high expectations by the yield strength of steel to annular chains, according to the requirement of the development of technology and security, requires at present its yield strength more than 380MPa.
In the prior art, annular chains is a kind of with steel is to adopt by the 20Mn2 trade mark steel in GB/T3077, and its technique is electricity/converter+LF refinery practice, does thermal treatment inspection.The deficiency of its existence: the one, P, S require too strict; The 2nd, operational path is long, adopts after electricity/converter smelting, also needs the refining furnace through LF, has increased refining procedure cost; The 3rd, because Mn content is higher, the welding property during chain is made is unfavorable.
The component of 20Mn2 trade mark steel and weight content list
Technical process is: electricity/converter smelting → refining → continuous casting → heating → rolling → naturally cooling → shearing → packaging (cooling without controlling).
The second is according to the composition to chain steel, the chain steel that performance defined is produced in Japanese chain round steel standard JIS G3105-2004.The deficiency of its existence makes: mechanical property is on the low side, yield strength is not done to requirement, and tensile strength only requires 490MPa, and it can not meet current requirement.

Summary of the invention
The problem to be solved in the present invention is: overcome current P, S content with steel too strict, tap to tap time is long, because Mn content is compared with high and easily produce welding crack, or mechanical property is low, the deficiency that can not meet the demands, provide a kind of P, S to control loose, can not produce welding crack and can ensure that its yield strength is in 380MPa and above, tensile strength is greater than 580MPa annular chains steel and the method for production thereof.
Realize the measure of above-mentioned purpose:
A kind of annular chains steel, its component and weight percent content: C:0.20~0.25%, Si:0.42~0.55%, Mn: 1.05~1.60%, P≤0.040%, S≤0.040%, Ceq≤0.52%, all the other are Fe and inevitable impurity.
Produce the method for a kind of annular chains steel, its step:
1) smelt: control P≤0.12% in molten steel, S≤0.04%, and carry out remaining slag operation, control the basicity of slag 2.8~3.5; Argon blowing time is not less than 4 minutes;
2) carry out continuous casting heating, heating and temperature control is being not less than 1280 DEG C, and be 60~90 minutes heat-up time; The component of strand and weight percent content: C:0.20~0.25%, Si:0.42~0.55%, Mn: 1.05~1.60%, P≤0.040%, S≤0.040%, Ceq≤0.52%, all the other are Fe and inevitable impurity;
3) be rolled, control start rolling temperature not higher than 1120 DEG C, finishing temperature, higher than 1100 DEG C, is not rolled down to desired size;
4) water is controlled coolingly, controls cooling rear temperature at 850~900 DEG C;
5) nibbling shear;
6) carry out air cooling, be cooled to temperature not higher than 400 DEG C;
7) carry out cutting to length, and packed for standby use.
The function and mechanism of each element in the present invention:
C: carbon is strengthening element the most basic in steel.In steel, carbon content increases, and yield-point and tensile strength raise, but plasticity and impact reduction, in the time that carbon content exceedes 0.25%, the welding property of steel degenerates, the therefore structural low alloy steel for welding, and carbon content is generally no more than 0.25%.In addition, carbon can increase cold shortness and the aging sensitivity of steel.
Si: silicon is solution strengthening element, can significantly improve Yield Of Steel and tensile strength, therefore be widely used in the strengthening element of structural alloy steel.Silicone content, as lower than 0.42%, can cause yield strength to reduce, and as higher than 0.55%, can cause yield strength too high, makes annular chains cause processing difficulties with the Plasticity Decreasing of steel.
Mn: manganese is solution strengthening element, even if add 0.80% when above " manganese steel " in carbon steel, not only has enough toughness, and has higher intensity and hardness, improves the quenching property of steel, improves the comprehensive process performance of steel, as higher by 40% than Q235 yield-point in Q345 steel.Manganese amount increases, and reduces welding property.
P: generally, phosphorus is harmful element in steel.Easily produce segregation, increase the cold shortness of steel, welding property is degenerated; Reduce plasticity, cold-bending property is degenerated.For the structure iron that has certain service requirements, require phosphorus content in steel to be less than 0.040%.
S: sulphur is also harmful element under normal conditions.Make steel produce red brittleness, reduce ductility and the toughness of steel, in the time of rolling, cause crackle.Sulphur is also unfavorable to welding property.So for the structure iron that has certain requirements, require sulphur content to be less than 0.040%.
Ceq:Ceq=C+Mn/6, the index proposing when welding property is had to requirement, to ensure that welding material does not crack under certain condition.
The present invention is compared with technology, and it has eliminated the defect because of the higher welding crack causing of manganese content, and P, S control loose, and processing and fabricating is easy, through adopting cooling control after rolling, the yield strength that has improved steel to 380MPa and more than, tensile strength is greater than 580MPa.
