Because a certain content of alloy elements are added into the high-strength wheel steel, a welded joint is easy to generate a softening region after welding, the softening region is easy to generate concentrated deformation in the subsequent deformation process, the defects of thinning, necking and even cracking are formed, and the quality of the steel wheel is seriously influenced.

The Chinese patent application with publication number CN111500924A discloses a high-strength wheel steel and a production method thereof, which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: c: 0.05-0.12%, Si: 0.01 to 0.25%, Mn: 1.50-2.00%, P is less than or equal to 0.015%, S is less than or equal to 0.006%, Nb: 0.03-0.09%, Ti: 0.015-0.080%, Mo is less than or equal to 0.30%, Cu is less than or equal to 0.30%, Ni is less than or equal to 0.30%, Cr is less than or equal to 0.30%, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities. The wheel steel disclosed by the patent is complex in alloy composition, high in Mn content and a certain amount of Mo, Cu, Ni and Cr elements are added, so that the alloy cost is increased, the Carbon Equivalent (CEV) and the welding crack sensitivity index (Pcm) are obviously increased, and the welding performance of the product is reduced.
Chinese patent application with publication number CN112626421A discloses 650MPa grade steel for automobile wheels and a preparation method thereof, wherein the steel comprises the following chemical components: c: 0.05-0.12%, Mn: 1.00-2.00%, Si: 0.05-0.30%, Nb: 0.04-0.07%, Ti: 0.02-0.05%, Als: 0.01-0.06%, P is less than or equal to 0.020%, S is less than or equal to 0.010%, and the balance is Fe. The patent mainly improves the welding performance of products by reducing the carbon content and adding Ti element, but the final structure is ultrafine ferrite and trace pearlite structure, the coarsening of crystal grains in a welding heat affected zone, particularly a coarse crystal zone in the welding process causes great difference between the strength of the welding heat affected zone and the strength of a base metal, thereby generating a softening zone, and the defects of thinning, necking and even cracking are easily formed in the forming process.

Detailed Description
In order to facilitate understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be further described with reference to the following examples.
The invention discloses a high-strength steel for automobile wheels, which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 0.05-0.10% of C, 0.10-0.20% of Si, 1.40-1.60% of Mn, less than or equal to 0.020% of P, less than or equal to 0.008% of S, 0.15-0.30% of Cr, 0.04-0.06% of Nb, 0.020-0.040% of Ti, 0.015-0.050% of Als, and the balance of Fe and inevitable impurities.
The reason why the steel for high-strength automobile wheels of the present invention employs the above components and component ratios is as follows:
c is an effective strengthening element in steel, can be dissolved in a matrix to play a role of solid solution strengthening, can be combined with Nb and Ti to form carbide precipitated particles to play a role of fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening, improves the carbon content, and is favorable for improving the strength, but too high carbon content can form more large and thick brittle carbide particles in the steel, is unfavorable for plasticity and toughness, can form a segregation zone in the center of the steel plate due to too high carbon content, is unfavorable for bending property formability, and increases welding carbon equivalent and welding crack sensitivity index due to too high carbon content, and is unfavorable for welding processing; therefore, the value range of C in the invention is set to be 0.05-0.10%.
Si has higher solid solubility in steel, is beneficial to thinning rust layer tissues, reduces the integral corrosion rate of the steel and improves the toughness, but the scale removal is difficult during rolling due to the over-high content, and the welding performance is reduced. Therefore, the value range of Si in the invention is set to be 0.10-0.20%.
Mn has a strong solid solution strengthening effect, can obviously reduce the phase transition temperature of steel, refines the microstructure of the steel, is an important strengthening and toughening element, but when the content of Mn is excessive, a casting blank crack is easy to generate in the continuous casting process, and simultaneously, the core component segregation of a steel plate can be caused, and the welding performance of the steel can be reduced; therefore, the value range of Mn in the invention is set to be 1.40-1.60%.
P and S elements can generate adverse effects on the structure performance of the steel plate, the plasticity and the low-temperature toughness of the steel can be obviously reduced when the content of P is too high, and sulfide inclusions can be formed by S to deteriorate the performance of the steel; therefore, the value ranges of P and S are set to be less than or equal to 0.020% and less than or equal to 0.008%.
Cr can increase the hardenability of steel, thereby improving the hardness of the steel, and simultaneously can increase the stability of undercooled austenite, so that the austenite is subjected to phase change at a lower temperature and a larger undercooling degree, thereby refining the structure, but the production cost is improved due to overhigh Cr content; therefore, the value range of Cr in the invention is set to be 0.15-0.30%.
Nb can pin austenite grain boundaries to prevent grain growth, and finally refine grains, so that the impact toughness is improved, but the yield strength is obviously improved due to fine grain strengthening, the yield ratio is increased, and the production cost is increased due to overhigh Nb content; therefore, the value range of Nb in the invention is set to be 0.04-0.06%.
Ti (C, N) precipitates formed by Ti and C, N can effectively refine austenite grains, inhibit the coarsening of the structure of a coarse grain region in the welding process and simultaneously generate a precipitation strengthening effect, but micron-sized TiN is easily formed due to excessively high Ti content, so that the forming performance and the fatigue performance are reduced; therefore, the value range of Ti in the invention is set to be 0.020-0.040 percent of Ti.
Al is added into steel to play a role in deoxidation, and the steel quality can be improved, but the content of Al is too high, and nitrogen oxide is easy to precipitate at austenite grain boundaries to cause casting blank cracks to generate; therefore, the value range of Als is set to be 0.015-0.050%.
As is clear from FIG. 1, the steel for high-strength automobile wheels disclosed in the present invention has a good uniformity of the microstructure in the thickness direction. The low-alloy-cost high-strength steel for automobile wheels, which is prepared by adopting the components, has the thickness of 2.0-8.0 mm, the carbon equivalent CEV (carbon equivalent) of less than or equal to 0.43%, the welding crack sensitivity index Pcm of less than or equal to 0.20%, the yield strength of more than or equal to 500MPa, the tensile strength of more than or equal to 650MPa and the elongation after fracture of more than or equal to 18%; high strength and excellent welding performance are realized.
The invention also discloses a preparation method of the high-strength steel for automobile wheels, which comprises the following steps of preparing raw materials according to the components of the high-strength steel for automobile wheels when preparing the high-strength steel for automobile wheels: molten iron desulfurization → converter smelting → LF refining → RH → slab continuous casting → hot rolling → coiling → cooling.
Specifically, in the molten iron desulphurization step, the molten iron obtained by blast furnace smelting is pre-desulfurized, and the S content in the desulfurized molten iron is controlled to be less than or equal to 0.005 percent.
Specifically, in the converter smelting step, the desulfurized molten iron is subjected to converter smelting, aluminum iron is adopted for deoxidation, the adding amount of the aluminum iron is equal to the oxygen activity of tapping multiplied by 1+100 (+ -50 kg), alloying is carried out according to Si, Mn, Cr and Nb components, slag is retained and tapped, the slag thickness is less than 80mm, 1000 +/-100 kg of active lime is added along with the steel flow, 150 +/-15 kg of ladle top slag modifier is added on the slag surface for slag surface modification, and the converter tapping temperature is 1670 +/-20 ℃.
Specifically, in the LF refining step, the LF refining process is adopted, white slag is manufactured for desulfurization, and all components are controlled within the required range of a finished product by alloying, wherein the LF outbound temperature is 1605 +/-5 ℃.
Specifically, in the RH step, the treatment time with the vacuum degree less than or equal to 300Pa is not less than 10min, ferrotitanium is added for Ti alloying, 400mCa-Al wire is fed to modify inclusions, and the RH outbound temperature is 1575 +/-5 ℃.
Specifically, in the slab continuous casting step, the continuous casting process is carried out under a light pressure of more than or equal to 3mm to reduce center segregation, peritectic steel casting powder is adopted, the superheat degree of a tundish is controlled at 15-30 ℃, a weak cooling mode is adopted for secondary cooling water, and the casting process adopts a constant drawing speed of 1.0m/min for casting as much as possible.
In the step of hot rolling the slab, the hot rolling step includes heating, side pressing, rough rolling and finish rolling.
More specifically, in the heating step, the slab is heated in a regenerative heating furnace, the slab is heated to homogenize the cast structure and component segregation, and alloy elements are dissolved in the solid solution, but the problems of burning loss, overheating, overburning and the like can occur when the heating temperature is too high and the heating time is too long. Therefore, in the heating step, the heating temperature is set to be 1210-1250 ℃, and the heating time is set to be 190-400 min.
In the step of side pressing, a fixed width press is adopted to perform side pressing on the steel billet, the side pressing on the steel billet is carried out by adopting the fixed width press so as to realize the requirement of a user on the width of a steel strip, but the steel billet can form a bone-like shape due to overlarge side pressing amount, the edge part is thickened excessively, the pressing amount of the middle part of the plate blank is insufficient during subsequent rough rolling, the austenite in the thickness direction is not completely recrystallized, and a mixed crystal structure is generated; therefore, the side pressure of the fixed width press is set to be less than or equal to 100mm in the side pressure step.
Further specifically, in the rough rolling step, the rough rolling needs to reach enough deformation to ensure austenite recrystallization, refine austenite grains and prevent mixed crystal tissues, and the rough rolling descaling can fully remove iron scales and avoid the surface quality problem caused by pressing of the iron scales; if the intermediate slab thickness is too large, the rough rolling deformation amount may be insufficient and the finish rolling load increases, and if the intermediate slab thickness is too small, the finish rolling deformation amount may be insufficient. Therefore, in the invention, the rough rolling is performed for 6 times in the rough rolling step, the reduction of the rough rolling pass is more than or equal to 18%, the odd pass full-length scale removal is performed, and the thickness of the intermediate billet is 42-44 mm.
In the finish rolling step, if the start rolling temperature of finish rolling is too high, the deformation of the non-recrystallization region of austenite in the finish rolling process is insufficient, and the structure is not refined; if the finish rolling temperature is too low, the difference between the finish rolling temperature and the initial rolling temperature is too large, so that the cooling speed in the finish rolling process is too high, the risk of rolling of a plurality of racks in a two-phase region after finish rolling exists, and the comprehensive performance of a product is poor; if the finishing temperature is too high, the deformation of the unrecrystallized area is insufficient, which is not beneficial to the refining of the final structure. Therefore, in the invention, 7 times of finish rolling are set in the finish rolling step, the start rolling temperature of the finish rolling is less than or equal to 1050 ℃, and the finish rolling temperature is 830-870 ℃.
Specifically, in the coiling step, if the coiling temperature is too low, abnormal structures are generated due to too high cooling speed in the subsequent cooling process; if the coiling temperature is too high, the crystal grains become coarse, resulting in deterioration of the overall properties of the finished product. Therefore, the coiling temperature is set to be 580-620 ℃.
Specifically, in the cooling step, a front-section cooling mode is adopted to realize larger supercooling degree so as to refine the final structure, and simultaneously, the fine and dispersed second phase is precipitated, and the fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening effects are enhanced. Therefore, the laminar cooling is carried out by adopting a front-stage cooling mode in the invention.
