Reasonable Measures To Steel Plate Control Delamination Defects

In the realm of manufacturing and construction, ensuring the integrity and quality of steel plates is paramount. Delamination, a common defect in steel plates, poses significant risks to structural stability and safety. However, with diligent attention and adherence to reasonable measures, it’s possible to mitigate and control delamination effectively. This article explores the various facets of steel plate control delamination defects and outlines comprehensive strategies to address this critical issue.

Understanding Delamination

---

For Q345D medium and thick steel plates, delamination defects sometimes appear, resulting in inconsistent flaw detection. The analysis believes that the root cause of the inconsistent flaw detection is the internal segregation of the cast slab. In this case, the subsequent reasonable control of cooling and optimization of the ring cooling can greatly alleviate this problem. On the contrary, the improper cooling rate after rolling leads to the formation of bainite structure and induces microcracks; while the slow cooling of the steel plate after straightening is not timely, the release of internal stress is insufficient, which leads to the expansion of internal microcracks, resulting in unqualified inspections.

Delamination refers to the separation of layers within a material, often occurring along a plane parallel to the surface. In steel plates, delamination manifests as the detachment of layers due to various factors such as improper bonding, sheet metal manufacturing defects, or environmental stressors. This defect compromises the structural integrity of the steel, leading to potential failures and safety hazards.

For this reason, reasonable measures are:

1. Centralized furnace system

The product structure of medium and heavy plate companies generally has problems such as heterogeneous steel plates, different specifications, multiple batches, and small batches. In actual production, the length and width of the rolled steel plate are quite different. When the steel plate is slowly cooled, the stacking is not neat, which leads to the failure of the inspection of the edge of the ultra-wide plate or the failure of the inspection of the head of the ultra-long plate.

Through the establishment of a centralized furnace system, arranging contract centralized furnaces with similar length and width of rolled steel plates to ensure the neat stacking of subsequent steel plates. The batch of centralized loading furnace ensures that the width difference between the upper and lower steel plates in the same stacking position is not more than 500mm, and the length is not more than 2000mm. When necessary, use asbestos cloth to wrap around the steel plate to enhance the thermal insulation effect.

2.Optimized control cooling

Research has shown that the appearance of bainite in steel plates is generally caused by the excessive cooling of steel plates. In the past production of Q345D, the cooling rate was often controlled at 6-10m/s during controlled rolling and cooling. In order to reduce the bainite structure produced by rapid cooling, the number of ACC pole tube opening groups was reduced, when the cooling rate was reduced to 3-5℃/ At s, the segregation zone in the core of the steel plate no longer appears bainite structure, forming a conventional pearlite structure. After the optimization of controlled cooling, the stress of the segregation zone in the core of the steel plate is significantly reduced, and the microcracks caused by the stress of the structure are greatly improved.

3.Optimize slow cooling time

Optimizing the slow cooling process of steel plates mainly focuses on the stacking temperature and stacking duration of steel plates.

Causes of Delamination

Detecting Delamination: Early detection of delamination is crucial for preventing catastrophic failures. Non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques such as ultrasonic testing (UT), magnetic particle inspection (MPI), and radiographic testing (RT) are commonly employed to identify internal defects in steel plates. Visual inspection, acoustic emission testing, and thermography also aid in detecting surface and subsurface delamination.

Preventive Measure

Case Studies and Best Practices: Highlight real-world examples of successful delamination control strategies implemented in various industries such as aerospace, automotive, marine, and infrastructure. Showcase innovative technologies, collaborative partnerships, and industry initiatives aimed at enhancing steel plate quality and performance.

Conclusion: Delamination poses a significant challenge in the realm of steel plate manufacturing and usage, but it is not insurmountable. By adopting a multifaceted approach encompassing quality assurance, preventive measures, and continuous improvement, stakeholders can effectively mitigate delamination defects and uphold the integrity and reliability of steel structures. Through collaboration, innovation, and a steadfast commitment to excellence, we can build a safer and more resilient future.
