Introduction There is great market demand for large single-thick steel plate in some special occasions such as heavy machinery, water conservancy, armor, dam. In traditional rolling, heavy in- got is mainly the raw materials of heavy plate. However, the heavy ingot is thoroughly thick and the time of solidification cooling is very long, which led to serious segregation in the solidification process. Simultaneously, there are serious casting defects of shrinkage cavity, porosity and inclusion at the center of heavy ingot due to the solidification feeding and vol- ume shrinkage. Using large rolling force and large reduction in the hot rolling process, the coarse as-cast microstructure can be crushed 262 Functional materials, 23, 2, 2016 Guanghui Zhao at al. / Comparative study of two rolling bond process ... and defects of porosity can be partially welded. But the steel plate will inevitably inherited the original as-cast ingot organization after rolling process. Consequently, it is hard to meet high performance for producing large heavy plate, especially for the heavy plate which requires the performance of z-direction and ultrasonic testing requirements[1, 2]. Therefore, for ex- ploring and practicing the preparation of thick slab of material, JFE company on behalf of many domestic and foreign research institutes and mills, researched and developed a variety of manufacturing technology. Using steel billet welded and manufactured by casting billet and vacuum hot rolling, JFE company successfully used in the production of heavy plate, which solved the internal quality of large steel ingot and small compression ratio [3]. Hot rolling bonding: making use of rolling mill produce composite plate. According to the strong force of the rolling mill and combined with thermal effect, two surface of compound metal are brokered and there is plastic defor- mation in whole metallic cross-section. Simultaneously, the clean and activated sur- face is easy to form planar metallurgical combi- nation under strong rolling pressure. Further, the fundamental difference between rolling of composite metal plate and single metal plate is that the rolling pass of composite metal plate must be subjected to a large reduction, particu- larly the reduction of initial rolling pass. Only in this way, it can promote to physical contact of composite surface. Therefore, it is neces- sary to explore the technology of heavy-gauge steel plate by the hot rolling bond and further research the effect on the properties of heavy- gauge steel plate [4, 5].In particular, different pass rolling process optimization has a signifi- cant impact on proprieties of composite plate and production costs of company. In this paper, two rolling bond processes for heavy-gauge steel plate Q235B were studied, organization and mechanical properties of which were analyzed. What’s more, the two rolling bond processes of rolling bond were analyzed by nonlinear finite element software MSC.Marc. 2.Experimental The raw material is Q235 casting slab, chemical composition as shown in table 1. First of all, the billet was prepared and made surface treatment. The composite surface should be clean and grind smooth, which ben- efits to two kind of metal atoms mutual diffuse, realizing metallurgical bonding. Then it was batched and welded with clean surfaces face- to-face. After being implemented high tem- perature and long time heating in the chamber furnace, heavy slab was hot rolled bond by a strong rolling mill. Finally, slow stacking cool- ing and detection was used for hot rolled bond plate. The process is shown in figure 1. The initial rolling temperature was controlled from 1020 °C to 1120 °C and the actual initial roll- ing temperature was 1056 °C. Taking the hot rolling process under high temperature, low speed and high rolling reduction, the concrete- ness distribution of rolling reduction and roll- ing speed is shown in table 2 for the two rolling bond process. It was used high pressure water descaling when the first and second pass in both initial rolling and end rolling. In order to keep the steel straightness, the composite plate needed temper rolling one or two passes. Com- posite plate are not controlled cooling after hot rolling and the ACC only turned on back blow- ing device. Composite plate was straightened immediately by straightening machine. Then it began to stack cooling when the temperature of which dropped to 450-550 °C and the time of stack cooling was greater than 48h. Performance of composite plate was ana- lyzed. Flaw detection was conducted by ultra- sonic flaw detector according to the GB/T7734- 7734“composite plate ultrasonic inspection method”. Tensile samples were processed into Standard circular ∅10mm×120mm on the ba- sis of GB/T 228.1-2010 “Metal materials tensile test at room temperature”; V-notch standard sample was processed into 10mm×10mm×55mm according to the GB/T 229-2007“ Metallic mate- Fig.1.

Using ZBC2602 automatic impact testing machine, the shock temperature is 20 °C. The organiza- tion structure and bond interface was respec- tively analyzed by Carl & Zeiss optical micro- scope and scanning electron microscope(SEM). 2.1 Mechanical properties By nondestructive ultrasonic flaw detection, there were cracks and lamination defects in 80mm clad sheet steel using I rolling process, especially at the head and the tail of steel plate. But, the clad plate using II rolling process was no obvious defects, meeting 1 level require- ments. From the table 3, it illustrated that the I composite plate didn’t met the mechanical properties of Q235 according to GB/T 700-700 “carbon structural steels” (2006), but II com- posite plate met. The bonding strength of com- posite plate was usually estimated through shear test evaluation and the better shear strength of layered composite material plate were more than 60% [3]. In this study, the pres- sure shear test showed: the I composite surface shear strength of rolled plate reached 38.2% for the tensile strength of its corresponding loca- tion and the II composite surface shear strength reached 61.5%, above the requirement. These results showed the mechanical properties of rolling plate using process II were better than that using process I. 2.2 Analysis of microstructure and bonded interface For heavy plate rolled bond, the mechanism of metal interface bonding is mainly mechani- cal mechanism, film theory and the theory of recrystallization [6]. According to these theory, gaps at the interface caused by the machining error were basically closed in the first rolling pass. Under high temperature and strong rolling pressure, metal was to come into plastic defor- mation and hardened surface layers were burst. At this moment, the upper and lower fresh met- al was burst through the crack of hardened sur- face layers and metal atoms of fresh metal be- came mutually embedded in each other. When two groups metal close to the magnitude of the distance between atoms, atoms attracted each other. During adjacent atoms was arranged in stable equilibrium spacing, the free electrons in outer layer of the two kinds metal atoms be- came common electronic to form metallic bond- ing. Adding diffusion layer formed by diffusible metal atoms in high temperature, hot rolling bond was achieved. But the position of rolling bond was very rare in the first rolling pass. There were still inclusions in large areas of the interface. There were two main reasons for this situation: first, surface machining and grinding process failed to remove trace oxides, the second was due to the lower free energy at the gap, resulting pre- cipitates aggregating to form inclusions. With the increase of rolling reduction rate, there had some rolling compaction effect for inclusions, causing inclusions discontinuous distribution at the bonding surfaces, but the shape of inclu- Table. 2.

With the reduction rate continuing to increase, the center of the heavy plate generated plastic strain, rolling compaction effect for inclusions at the interface has been significantly increased, so the previous clear orientation distribution of inclusions began to enter state of dispersion of the distribution. These would greatly weaken the impediment of inclusion for metal bonding. Simultaneously, more and more grains were formed and bonding effect was gradually get- ting better [7]. Microstructure are shown in Figure 2. As can be seen from the Figure 2(a), there were nonuniform ferrite + pearlite structure, indi- cating that there was no good consistent plas- tic deformation in the center part; there was unbound area at the interface, indicating the bonding of center portion was inadequate and incomplete such hot rolling conditions, which was correspond to the results by ultrasonic flaw detection. Further by SEM analysis (as shown Fig 3(a)), there were long cracks and more inclusions in cracks at the bonded inter- face. Serious mixed crystal and cracks and in- clusions defect at bonded interface reduced the mechanical properties of the rolled bond plate. Contrarily, as can be seen from the Figure 2(b), there were uniform and refined ferrite + pearl- ite structure and were no unbound area at the interface. What’ more, there were well bonded interface by SEM analysis (as shown Fig 3(b)). These results showed the bonded interface of rolling plate using process II was better than that using process I. 3. Results and discussion Residual stress and strain analysis In this investigation, simulation of thick plate production process were analyzed by non- linear finite element software MARC. Revers- ible hot rolling was realized by Model Section simulation of MARC[8]. In this paper, the dif- ferent pass of rolling, the equivalent stress and equivalent strain on the thickness direction of situation are analyzed. The casting slab of vacuum hot roll bonding is mainly to study the deformation across the thickness direction. Its deformation law is the same of a whole slab. So the whole casting slab were simulated by Marc, according to the actual rolling process Fig.2. Microstructure of clad steel plate: (a) I, (b) II. Fig. 3. Microstructure of clad steel plate by SEM: (a) I, (b) II Functional materials, 23, 2, 2016 265 Guanghui Zhao at al. / Comparative study of two rolling bond process ... simulation [9].Using 2D model to simulate the actual rolling process, the diameter rigid roller is 1000mm, slab size is 400×1800×3000mm, rolling parameters is shown in Table 2 and the symmetry model is shown in Fig 4. Only when the ratio of equivalent stress in rolling process /yield stress in current tempera- ture is higher than 1, the metal generated plas- tic deformation. As can be seen from Figure 5, the ratio of equivalent stress in rolling process /yield stress of process II was bigger than that of process I at the first and second rolling pass. Also, the section of big ratio was deeper in the core of rolling plate using process II. For rolling bond, deformed core part was very important in the first few passes, which was beneficial to contacts of the being bonded metal and extru- sion of fresh metal. Early bonding not only pro- vided diffusion time for follow-rolling bond, but also provided convenience for easily crushing inclusions and oxides at the bonded surface. At the last pass, the big ratio section of the process II were deeper and wider than that of process I in central portion. These results also showed deformation of surface and center portion was relatively uniform for rolling bonded plate us- ing process II. The overall uniform deformation between the surface and the core section would help improve the overall mechanical properties of composite slab. As shown in Table 3, the me- chanical properties of bonded plate using pro- cess II was better than that using process I. Under high temperature and strong rolling pressure, metal was to come into plastic defor- mation and hardened surface layers were burst. At this moment, the upper and lower fresh met- al was burst through the crack of hardened sur- face layers and metal atoms of fresh metal be- came mutually embedded in each other. When two groups metal close to the magnitude of the distance between atoms, atoms attracted each other. During adjacent atoms was arranged in stable equilibrium spacing, the free electrons in outer layer of the two kinds metal atoms be- came common electronic to form metallic bond- ing. Adding diffusion layer formed by diffusible metal atoms in high temperature, hot rolling bond was achieved. The exposed active surface was one of the necessary conditions for the bond. Another important factor in the bond was high enough pressure, only that to produce strong shear deformation, forming more dislocation motion. Therefore, the amount of deformation must be large for pass of rolling bond, so as to promote physical bonding component [1,10]. Therefore, using of finite element software MARC, the equivalent strain of every pass was analyzed. As can be seen from Fig. 6, the sec- tion of big equivalent strain was deeper in the Fig.4.

For roll- ing bond, deformation of bonding surface was beneficial to contacts of the being bonded metal and extrusion of fresh metal and provided prob- ability for easily crushing inclusions and oxides at the bonded surface. At the last pass, the big equivalent strain section of the process II were deeper and wider than that of process I in cen- tral portion. These results also showed deforma- tion of surface and center portion was relatively uniform for rolling bonded plate using process II. Under high temperature and big plastic de- formation, the metal was prone to produce dy- namic recrystallization. Big plastic deformation at the bonded surface of the plate could produce refined and uniform grain. It can be seen from Figure 2, refined and uniform grain was ob- tained. These results showed the plastic defor- mation in the core of rolling plate using process II was bigger than that using process I. Figure 7 showed the equivalent strain dia- gram from the surface to the heart of rolled plate (0, t/4, t/2) every pass. As can be seen from the figure7: for the slab surface (0 section) every pass, equivalent strains using process I were less than that using process II; the two values were similar until the seventh pass; moreover, the last rolling pass, the results were oppo- site. For the t/4 section every pass, equivalent strains using process I were less than that us- ing process II; the two values were similar until the last rolling pass. For the t/2 section every pass, equivalent strains using process I were less than that using process II until the last rolling pass. These results showed the equiv- alent strain in the core of rolling plate using process II was bigger than that using process I, which was beneficial to rolling bond. When the rolling bond completed, the dif- ference of equivalent strain among 0, t/4 and t/2 section was large using process I, but the difference using process II was small. Using process II, the difference of equivalent strain from the surface to the heart of rolled plate (0, t/4, t/2)was decreased, which made rolling deformation consistent across the thickness di- rection, increasing dispersion of inclusions at the interface and reducing the adverse effect for property due to the inclusion concentration [5]. From the view of production cost, process II reduced rolling pass, improving production efficiency. Fig.6.

Conclusions In this paper, two rolling bond processes for heavy-gauge steel plate Q235B were studied. The mechanical properties of rolling plate us- ing process II were better than that using pro- cess I. Simultaneously, the bonded interface of rolling plate using process II was better than that using process I. For the rolling bonded plate using process II, there were uniform and refined ferrite + pearlite structure and were no unbound area at the interface; also, there were well bonded interface by SEM analysis. More- over, using MARC software analysis for two rolling process, the ratio of equivalent stress in rolling process /yield stress in current tem- perature from surface to center portion was relatively uniform for rolling bonded plate us- ing process II; also, the difference of equivalent strain from the surface to the heart of rolled plate (0, t/4, t/2) was decreased using process II, which made rolling deformation consistent across the thickness direction.
